Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked
Chapter 103 103: Lan Yu’s life and death will be decided by the old man!
Chapter 103 103: Lan Yu’s life and death will be decided by the ninth person!
The next day, above the court hall of Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang once again asked Zhu Biao to read out an edict in public, telling the world that he was going to patrol the west!
After hearing this decree, all the civil and military officials looked shocked!
No one expected that the emperor would suddenly decide to tour the west, and it would only be a few months later!
The Chinese New Year is still half a year away. In other words, after the Chinese New Year, the emperor will leave Yingtian Mansion and go to the northwest?
Originally, only a few people knew about this matter, and it was the Crown Prince Zhu Biao who was supposed to patrol the west, but now it was His Majesty the Emperor who went there himself!
This also made several officials who knew about it even more shocked!
Of course, in addition to being shocked, many officials began to panic!
When the emperor leaves Beijing for a tour to the west, he will inevitably come into contact with more people and things among the people, and some of the things they do in the local area may be directly uncovered by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Especially the group of Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu!
Since the business in the northwest suddenly became prosperous, they have been secretly trying to get a piece of the pie in the northwest!
After the morning court, Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang back to the imperial study.
After just announcing the emperor's intention to patrol the west, the father and son all saw the reaction of the civil and military officials in the court!
Needless to say, many people have problems, and many people come forward to try to dissuade them!
But what Zhu Yuanzhang decided cannot be changed by this group of people!
The more they tried to dissuade me, the more guilty they seemed, and in the end they had no choice but to acquiesce to this fact!
But this still makes Zhu Biao a little puzzled!
"Father, are you too anxious to announce the Western Tour so early?"
In Zhu Biao's view, even if the old man has determined the time for the Western Tour and wants to prepare for it, he can just do the preparations in private and then announce it when the Western Tour is almost here!
If the old man deliberately wanted to catch all the officials off guard, he shouldn't have announced the news more than half a year in advance. Wouldn't this give these officials time to prepare?
"We think now is the right time to announce it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed disapprovingly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is exactly the opposite of Zhu Biao!
It is possible to catch all officials by surprise, but Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose is not this. What he is staring at is not ordinary corrupt officials, but those nobles and important ministers!
Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to beat everyone to death with a stick, but more importantly, beat them!
Moreover, if the news is not told to these people in advance, how can they take action?
As long as there is action, it will naturally show its flaws!
These royal guards trained by Zhu Yuanzhang are not just for decoration!
I am not afraid that you will move, but I am afraid that you will not move!
With enough time for more than half a year, Zhu Yuanzhang can definitely see which clowns in this court will be the first to jump out and do something?
Zhu Biao is naturally smart, he just hasn't turned a corner yet!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's confident look, he seemed to immediately think of the old man's intention!
But at the same time, I was secretly relieved!
At least the old man doesn’t mean to go on a killing spree, which is good news!
Zhu Biao is not worried about the others. What he is most worried about is the Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu!
After returning from the battle in Mobei in the [-]th year of Hongwu's reign, Lan Yu was officially granted the title of Duke the following year and was worshiped as a general. It can be said that he was very proud and prosperous!
Even the entire Huaixi nobles became arrogant and arrogant!
In the past three or four years, Lan Yu relied on his military exploits and became more and more arrogant and domineering!
And how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know what Lan Yu was doing?
But Zhu Yuanzhang chose to turn a blind eye. Unless Lan Yu went too far, he would scold him, but that's all at most!
After all, there is a Crown Prince Zhu Biao who will intercede for him!
But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to touch Lan Yu, and even Zhu Biao couldn't stop him!
Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately indulged this guy, so that he would eventually get carried away and reap the consequences!
To put it bluntly, it’s just flattering!
Lan Yu thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to touch him at all, and since he was Zhu Biao's uncle, he was naturally confident and did not notice the crisis at all!
He didn't know that if it weren't for Zhu Biao, he would have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Blindly indulging him now is just to make it more convenient to kill him in the future, so that even Zhu Biao can't find an excuse to stop him!
Zhu Yuanzhang may let other Huaixi nobles go because of Zhu Biao, but this will definitely not include Lan Yu!
Later generations are analyzing that if Zhu Biao was still alive, or even if Zhu Biao died, but the emperor was Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu would not have to die!
But in fact, this idea is too one-sided!
Lan Yu may not rebel against Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao may not be able to completely control him!
It's a simple truth. Even the powerful Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't completely control Lan Yu. How could Zhu Biao do it?
Is it just for him to call Lan Yu uncle?
With a character like Zhu Yuanzhang's, he is destined not to place his hopes on Lan Yu to be grateful to Zhu Biao, so that he can only use it for him!
The emperor was ruthless. He didn't believe in such an emotional bond!
If Zhu Yunxi becomes the emperor, Lan Yu will not be tolerated!
Zhu Yuanzhang is gone, and so is Zhu Biao. What if Lan Yu, like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, all want to play the trick of coercing the emperor to control the princes?
Therefore, before Zhu Yuanzhang died, Lan Yu's fate was almost certain, and it would not change whether Zhu Biao died young or not!
But because Zhu Biao would protect Lan Yu, it was difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to take action, so he allowed him to continue to be arrogant and domineering!
When the charges against him become more and more numerous and serious, so big that even Zhu Biao can't defend them, it will naturally become a matter of course!
But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang only planned to beat some important ministers, including Lan Yu, because he had decided to pass the throne to Lao Jiu!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, no matter how unruly Lan Yu was, he still had to lie down in front of Lao Jiu!
Only Lao Jiu has that ability and can really wield this knife!
In other words, it was Zhu Li, the king of Han, who became the emperor, and Lan Yu had the chance to survive!
Of course, it still depends on whether Zhu Yue likes him and is willing to use him!
It is undeniable that Lan Yu is indeed a good hand in marching and fighting, but Lao Jiu himself, his generals, including his two sons, are no worse than Lan Yu!
If Lan Yu wants to continue to be his Duke Liang, he will never be able to continue living unless he completely surrenders to Lao Jiu and is willing to be the knife in his hand!
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to let Lan Yu go. He plans to leave Lan Yu's fate to Lao Jiu to decide!
……
The residence of Duke Liang.
A group of Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu gathered together, apparently discussing the old man's sudden decision to tour the west!
This matter is really too sensitive for them!
The main reason is that many of their businesses now are inextricably linked to the Northwest!
Even if Lan Yu is arrogant and domineering, she will definitely feel uneasy!
You know, their Emperor Hongwu can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes!
"The superior suddenly decided to patrol the west. Is it just because he wants to move the capital to Xi'an?"
Chang Sheng, the founding father of the country, frowned and analyzed.
“If it’s not because of the capital relocation, why else?”
"If it weren't for the fact that the capital was to be moved to Xi'an, it would not have been possible for Xi'an to be temporarily handed over to the King of Han!"
"Anyway, if the capital is moved to Xi'an in the future, it will also be the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If the superior can legitimately take Xi'an back, in the end the King of Han will just be busy working for the court!"
Song Guogong Feng Sheng felt that this was the most likely possibility!
"That shouldn't be the case. If it's just to inspect the relocation of the capital, wouldn't it be enough to let the crown prince go according to the original plan?"
"Is it necessary for the superior to go there in person?" Chang Sheng's brows knitted into a knot!
"You mean, there are other purposes for being in power?"
"Could it be that the superiors knew about us pouring refined salt in the northwest?"
As soon as Feng Sheng said these words, the faces of all the nobles present suddenly turned ugly!
This is also everyone’s biggest concern!
"Don't forget that you have a lot of money on your face. With our little trouble, we won't let the superiors go to the northwest in person!"
Lan Yu, who had been silent all this time, snorted disapprovingly when he saw that everyone was a bit jealous!
"If the superiors really thought so, the prince would have told us already!"
Lan Yu's next words made everyone sigh in relief.
No one would doubt the relationship between Lan Yu and Prince Zhu Biao. If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to touch Lan Yu, Zhu Biao would definitely say hello to Lan Yu in advance!
It’s not like there’s no news at all now!
"So, we don't have to worry about this anymore?"
Chang Sheng nodded suddenly.
As long as there are no problems on the prince's side, there will naturally be no problems on their side!
After all, not only Lan Yu, Chang Sheng is also the prince's brother-in-law!
“It’s okay to do nothing!”
"Everyone has to let the caravans under their control temporarily restrain themselves. It is best to reduce the number of trips to the northwest. Even if they do go, they can't be so high-profile!"
"The superiors may have released the news in advance this time just to see how all of us will react!"
Compared with Lan Yu and Chang Sheng, Feng Sheng is obviously more cautious!
Although Lan Yu looked disapproving, she did not open her mouth to refute, obviously acquiescing that Feng Sheng's words made sense!
……
a few days later.
Hanzhong Hanwangfu.
Mother and son Zhu Xifeng and Saijia Sutushan have been learning how to use chopsticks recently!
Prairie people basically eat with their hands. At most, they use props or daggers they carry with them. They call this a table knife, which is used to cut cooked meat!
When they first started eating, Zhu Xifeng took out a knife in front of everyone, and everyone was shocked by him!
The habits of nomadic people are still very tough!
Because the table knives in their hands can also be used to kill people. They can even wipe them after killing people and continue to use them as table knives!
Fortunately, Concubine Zhou and Mrs. Cao also knew that Zhu Xifeng grew up on the grassland, so they were relatively tolerant of this.
Otherwise, it would really give Zhu Yue a headache for a while!
At the dinner table, although Zhu Xifeng has begun to work hard to learn to use chopsticks, he still has the habit of eating meat in big mouths, which naturally makes loud chewing sounds and slurping sounds!
Concubine Zhou and Mrs. Cao were both doing well, but Mrs. Li frowned frequently, obviously looking like she couldn't accept it!
Because Zhu Yue had this habit before, it seemed that it was a bit unacceptable to Mr. Li!
However, Zhu Yue can easily change, and Saijia Sutushan can also consciously restrain himself, but for Zhu Xifeng, it is a bit difficult!
After all, he is only a child over four years old!
It seems that this kid still needs some time to learn the Han people’s dining table culture!
After eating, Zhu Li returned to his study.
But not long after, Zhu Xifeng followed directly!
"Father, can't Han people make any noise when eating? Then why, when I was outside the palace, did I see other Han people on the street eating almost the same as us nomads?"
Zhu Xifeng asked Zhu Yue with a puzzled look on his face.
"First of all, you are also Han, and you must consider yourself Han from now on!"
"Your current status is that you are the son of the King of Han and the grandson of the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?"
When Zhu Yue heard this, he corrected Zhu Xifeng with a serious face.
"My child understands!"
Zhu Xifeng nodded, but a look of confusion still flashed across his face.
Obviously, this identity change was too fast, and he couldn't adapt to it for a while!
Of course, Zhu Yue also noticed this, but he didn't act too hastily. After all, the child was still young. I believe that given him a certain amount of time, he would always develop a sense of belonging to Daming!
"very good!"
"I can answer your previous question. The Han people you see on the streets outside are all poor people and don't have so many rules!"
"In poor people's homes, if there is meat on the table, they will naturally rush to eat it. This is how the words "wolfing down" and "devouring" come from!
Zhu Li nodded with satisfaction, and then explained slowly.
"Then why do we have so many rules?"
"The way Aunt Li looked at the child just now changed. Did the child do something wrong and make Aunt Li unhappy?"
Zhu Xifeng asked again.
"Well, because your Aunt Li comes from a family of civil servants and has received the strictest Confucian education since she was a child. They believe that eating and sleeping is a well-educated person. Making noise while eating is something that only animals can do!"
"So Confucian people are not allowed to make any noise when eating. Even when chewing, they cannot make the slightest sound. They must chew carefully and slowly!"
"At the same time, you can't talk while eating. This is called eating without talking!"
"Even when sleeping, you can't talk casually. It's called sleeping silently!"
Zhu Yue also answered all Zhu Xifeng's questions!
"How uncomfortable is that?"
"My child is a rough man and doesn't understand these etiquettes. My uncle and the others have never taught me this. Everyone eats meat and talks loudly at the same time!"
Zhu Xifeng continued.
When Zhu Yue heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Yes, so this is why nomads are a group of uncivilized barbarians in the eyes of Confucian people!
