Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 358 358 Zhu Di: I saw myself ascend the throne!

Neither Wang Buli nor Zhu Di responded to Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

Who can say anything good about this kind of thing?

"Buli, you have been behind this coup!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"Who can predict the future?" Wang Buli shrugged and replied:
"Putting aside the good relationship between me and the fourth brother over the years, Zhu Yunwen couldn't even tolerate his own uncle, so how could he tolerate me, his uncle?
I remember that my younger brother Zhu Bo played with Yunwen a lot in the past two years, but he was forced to death and given a bad posthumous title, right?
So, Your Majesty, even if I am not in the Fourth Brother’s camp, it is obvious who I will help in the future.”

The relationship of family has always been something that Lao Zhu cares about particularly.

Wang Buli hit the vital point in one stroke.

"This child was completely deceived by those people."

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang uttered these words, and could only hope: "If Biao'er hadn't died of illness, or Xiongying had been fine, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would have had a different outcome."

"No one can say for sure." Wang Buli also shook his head with emotion: "Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?

It is like if Your Majesty were to start over again, you might not be able to take over the world so smoothly. If you choose another path at a certain moment, no one can predict the future, but some things can be predicted. "

"what's up?"

"The Confucian scholars in Jiangnan, who did not get the status they deserved in the Yuan Dynasty, will try their best to return to the stage in the Ming Dynasty, and the disputes between civil and military officials will only increase.

The garrison troops will eventually collapse and will not be able to serve as a weapon to protect the Ming Dynasty, but will instead become a burden."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded surprisingly. The two things Wang Buli said were both predictable.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Wang Buli was still superficial. It was not a dispute between civil officials and military officials at all, but a factional struggle within the civil service group. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was still factional struggle.

This also indirectly shows that Wang Buli really didn't know much about the future trend of the Ming Dynasty, which made Zhu Yuanzhang more relieved.

"Si Lao went to the north, so he still needs to train some scholars."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to speak: "Don't just think about studying foreign wars."

"Dad, I remember this."

Zhu Di quickly responded and was overjoyed.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang took Wang Buli's words to heart, but no one was clear about the final outcome.

"By the way, Lao Si, when you get to Peking, you should still check more often to see if the soldiers are suffering. Some soldiers from Guangxi have already come to Nanjing to file a complaint with the emperor. If they are oppressed too much by the officers, they may easily run to Mongolia."

Wang Buli reminded him, and Zhu Di nodded repeatedly:

"This kind of thing happened in Guangxi. It seems that our nephew Tiezhu didn't manage it well."

Zhu Shouqian.

Wang Buli felt that if he could bully the soldiers who were guarding his palace, how could he still care about what was happening outside?
In other words, the influence of Zhu Yuanzhang and his father Zhu Wenzhen was still there, and most of the soldiers under his command had established families and careers.

If you bully a soldier who has nothing, you never know for sure who will get angry and kill you.

No matter how noble your status is, it’s useless.

Wang Buli could not deny it: "Not everyone is suitable to manage a region, especially since he is still young and has been spoiled since childhood.

I saw him many times in Ye Qinhuai in the past few years. Now the emperor is far away and no one in Guilin can control him. God knows what he is doing. "

Zhu Di sighed. As the first vassal prince to be sent abroad, he really did not set a good example for them.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not give them an answer. In fact, he also sent people to keep an eye on this nephew.

I thought he was still young and had room for improvement.

However, in recent years, he has been going too far, which really disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang, and someone has also reported him to the emperor.

In addition to sending the Jinyiwei to investigate the truth of the matter, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent someone to bring Zhu Shouqian back to Nanjing, who was already old.

He wanted to personally give his nephew some advice.

"Bu Li is right. The North is different from the South. You still have to handle it carefully. If you find that some officers are corrupt and abuse the soldiers, you still have to deal with them quickly, but you also have to write a memorial and report it. You must not act recklessly."

"Kid, remember this."

Zhu Di responded.

Seeing him ascend the throne smoothly today, Zhu Di was really excited.

The main thing is that his father didn't say anything about ordering him to be put to death, or forbidding him to do so.

Of course, if his eldest brother and his son had not died of illness in the future, that would be a different story.

Wang Buli reminded him, "Old Four, don't be too proud. It's you in 20 years who will be stronger, not you now.

If you don't make progress and are complacent, waiting for the imperial army to attack you, you will have no chance of turning the tables."

Zhu Di nodded heavily.

He believed that Wang Buli must have played a huge role in his ascension to the throne in secret.

Otherwise, why would the emperor choose him alone?

There was no chance for Wang Buli to pretend to be confused.

In addition to what he said just now, Zhu Di is not Zhu Yuanzhang and cannot stand being taught by others.

At least for now, Zhu Di still listens to advice.

He realized his shortcomings in some aspects, otherwise he would not have been so humble as to learn battlefield experience from veteran generals in the army.

The two of them said goodbye.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat back in the hall, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

In fact, even his own uncle couldn’t tolerate Wang Buli’s words, let alone me, his uncle?
It can be said that as far as Emperor Jianwen was concerned, Zhu Yuanzhang did not see Wang Buli giving advice in the court.

Or did I tell Zhu Yunwen some information, which led to Wang Buli being imprisoned?

After all, even the clothes he was wearing were those of a minor official, so it must have taken a lot of effort for him to escape.

Affectionate.

Zhu Yuanzhang still cared a lot.

Zhu Yunwen could overturn our policies and be deceived by others because he had seen many outrageous actions taken by emperors in later generations.

However, in terms of "attaching importance to family affection", Zhu Yunwen was able to make many members of the royal family alienated from him.

It was actually difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang not to suspect that Li Jinglong was secretly following Wang Buli's advice.

He deliberately lost the battle and sent all the best troops of the imperial court to Zhu Di. After being captured by Zhu Di, he strengthened his own power.

Since Li Jinglong's defeat, it has been difficult for the Jianwen dynasty to suppress Zhu Di's army from the north.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Zhu Biao, who was guarding nearby, asked softly, "Why are you so sad again?"

"Just some annoying things."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. In fact, looking at what his descendants did, he felt that they were not up to par most of the time.

It did not achieve the effect he wanted.

Zhu Biao didn't say much when he heard this, as he knew his father's difficulties.

After all, despite such hard work, later generations did not cherish this hard-earned country, and instead it began to decay.

Every time he thought of this, Zhu Biao felt heartbroken.

It seems that the proverbs have been passed down and have a certain degree of applicability.

"Forget it, let's deal with government affairs first."

Seeing that his father did not record it on both occasions, Zhu Biao began to feel suspicious.

In fact, his father seemed to have never been happy since he knew that Zhu Yunwen inherited the throne.

Especially, there are some things that he doesn't tell his prince, probably to avoid making his father feel uncomfortable.

After all, Zhu Biao felt that his father was very satisfied with him, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths to train him to be his successor.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the imperial pen again and buried his head in the imperial desk again.

As Zhu Yuanzhang, who relied on official documents to handle state affairs and abolished the post of prime minister, became increasingly busy, and even his son was busy as well.

The imperial power was centralized, but the corresponding workload also increased exponentially.

The father and son continued to deal with official documents.

Zhu Di stood up from the carriage, unable to hide his excitement.

Xu Miaoyun, who was standing by, had already sent her personal maid to carry her eldest son out and sit in the middle of the carriage to guard him, not allowing anyone to approach.

"what happened?"

Zhu Di quickly put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear:
"I saw myself ascend the throne, and you became queen."

Xu Miaoyun was a little surprised. Looking at her husband's excited eyes, she was stunned for a moment.

She also lowered her voice and asked, "How many people know about this?"

"Father and brother-in-law, the three of us watched it together."

After hearing Zhu Di's words, Xu Miaoyun did not feel very excited.

If only Wang Buli was here, then there would definitely be no problem with this matter.

But with the current emperor here, it's hard to say. Everyone knows that the emperor loves the eldest son Zhu Biao, and even if the crown prince cannot ascend the throne, he will choose his son to ascend the throne.

As for her husband, he came to power through "rebellion", so whether he could get his father's approval was a matter of many unexpected events.

The most important thing is that there are still twenty years to go. By that time, no one can predict what the trend of the world will be.

How could ordinary people afford such enormous wealth?

Xu Miaoyun quickly warned Zhu Di: "My husband, I hope you won't show your joy in the future. Just pretend you don't know about this. After all, the affairs of the world are in the hands of our father, not you."

Zhu Di understood that although his father was persuaded to some extent by Wang Buli, his elder brother had worked hard for so many years, and there were so many uncertainties in the future.

After hearing what his wife said, Zhu Di felt very nervous.

"I understand. After I go to Peking, I will be more cautious and will never do anything beyond my authority."

Zhu Di nodded solemnly at Xu Miaoyun, indicating that he understood.

My father is now in his prime, and with such a good body he can last for so many years. It is unknown what changes may happen during this period.

Especially since Wang Buli didn't know about this kind of thing before, he taught him the health-preserving method, just in case it is useful.

That might be one of the variables.

So Xu Miaoyun appeared to be very calm, especially towards this kind of unpredictable fairyland, she was skeptical in her heart.

But when he thought that Zhu Di could have a conversation with Wang Buli even though they were thousands of miles away, he didn't know how to understand this matter.

The only thing she could do was to advise her husband to stay calm, focus on the present, wait for the opportunity, and see if the future would really be as he saw in the fairyland.

She had heard of the story of the Yellow Millet Dream.

What if my husband is hysterical?

Wang Buli got up from the Dali Temple residence in a daze.

Most of the officials who were sent out on official business in the past few days have not returned yet.

It is relatively easy for a chief officer like him.

As for the proposal to build the treasure ship, it has already been approved and will ultimately be handled by the Ministry of Works, so he has nothing to do.

Wang Buli leaned on the armchair, thinking about the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Zhu Di had ascended the throne.

He had no way of finding out how much Zhu knew about the future of the Ming Dynasty.

But it can be seen that he did not express any obvious anger about the fourth brother's ascension to the throne.

Could it be that he had already seen Zhu Yunwen's tricks?

But the other emperors of the Ming Dynasty also did a lot of outrageous things.

Didn’t Zhu Yuanzhang know that they were descendants of Zhu Di?
In fact, up to now, Wang Buli has many questions in his mind, and it is impossible for him to be frank with Zhu Yuanzhang, so he can only guess secretly.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not exchange information he knew with Wang Buli.

Wang Buli was trying his best to pretend that he didn't know much.

But Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to pretend that he knew a lot of information.

Everyone was acting out against each other, and there was great suspicion among them.

Wang Buli got up from the bed and stretched.

In this society, he always lacks a sense of security.

"Your Highness, please add some tea for you." Jiang Huan shouted from outside the door.

"Ah."

Wang Buli asked Jiang Huan to come in.

Jiang Huan then poured tea for Wang Buli, and after thinking for a while, he said, "My Lord, Wen Ke and the others will not listen to the advice of a villain."

Wang Buli glanced at him and asked, "Why are you saying such weird things?"

He thought about it for a moment, then understood the meaning of the words and nodded:
"I understand. Although you two are competitors, you should cooperate and help each other on a daily basis. You must not hinder each other. Otherwise, how can you make the Dali Temple bigger and stronger and relieve His Majesty's worries?"

"My subordinate understands."

"Don't worry about this matter. We are all eating from the same pot from now on. If you can't persuade me, then forget it."

After Wang Buli gave him a reassurance, Jiang Huan also understood his situation.

The blood stained by the Jinyiwei's knife will probably be settled in the future.

This set off alarm bells in Jiang Huan's heart, even though he saw that his colleagues in the Jinyiwei were gritting their teeth and sucking blood, preparing to do something big and show themselves in front of the emperor.

But in the end, those who were killed were all officials in the court.

His Majesty wants the court officials to serve him, so naturally someone from the Jinyiwei will be pushed out and killed to appease the public anger.

"If you have nothing to do, accompany me to the Ministry of Justice to look at the case files and see if there are any suitable for my Dali Temple to review."

Wang Buli gave an order. After all, the review work was previously done by the Ministry of Justice itself.

When Wang Buli went to the palace, news had actually come from all over the Ming Dynasty.

There was actually a rebellion in Guangxi.

Many people named and said that they were forced to live without any means by Commander Geng Liang.

So a group of people just raised the flag of rebellion.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not wait for the results of the Jinyiwei's investigation, but instead received the news of the rebellion, which really gave him a headache.

So they had to mobilize troops to get the job done first, and then send people to capture Geng Liang and bring him to Nanjing for interrogation.

He met the increasingly aging Prince of Korea Li Shanchang on the street.

"Duke Hanguo." Wang Buli hurriedly saluted: "Why are you out for a stroll in such a cold day?"

Li Shan let out a long sigh, after all, Hu Weiyong was dead.

There is no prime minister anymore.

His son and younger brother had close ties with Hu Weiyong, so he was very afraid.

He was afraid that the Jinyiwei would target his Li family.

By that time, the lives of all the members of the clan might not be saved.

Therefore, Li Shanchang has not been eating well or sleeping well in recent days. When he heard that Wang Buli had come out of the mountains, he would stroll around the streets from time to time, hoping to find out some news about His Majesty from him.

"My dear Prince Consort, it's been a while since we last met. I always feel that you look exactly the same as you did three years ago, as if you haven't changed at all."

Li Shanchang stopped Wang Buli with a smile and invited him to walk together.

"Hey, you've just gotten better and you're ready to serve your country. The Korean prince is really embarrassing me."

Li Shanchang didn't believe Wang Buli's words.

He felt that Wang Buli used the excuse of recuperating from illness as an excuse for not taking up an official position and not making friends with officials in the court. He must have received the news a long time ago, or realized that the emperor had been unhappy with the position of prime minister for a long time.

Li Shanchang found all the reasons Hu Weiyong gave for rebellion to be unreliable.

He knew the emperor, he just wanted power, nothing else.

No matter if it is him or anyone else, as long as he stands in that position, it will be like a thorn in Your Majesty's heart, and you will always want to pull it out.

Fortunately, His Majesty was sentimental and kicked Li Shanchang away and supported Hu Weiyong to take the throne in order to better abolish the prime minister system.

Afterwards, Li Shanchang realized that Your Majesty had been planning this for a long time.

After Liu Bowen died, Li Shanchang felt that Wang Buli was the only smart person left around him.

See far and recognize clearly.

"Buli, I have something to ask you. Can I have a word with you?"

Wang Buli nodded and said leisurely: "Then let's take a stroll. The land is open and it will be good for some words to dissipate somewhere else."

Li Shanchang nodded heavily. This was exactly what he thought.

Your Majesty's Jinyiwei are becoming more and more powerful. If some of his conversations with Wang Buli were heard by the Jinyiwei, it would give them an excuse to take action and seek credit.

Wang Buli signaled Jiang Huan to retreat and not to follow too closely.

"Buli, I feel like my family is going to be ruined."

Li Shanchang's face looked very ugly, and he shook his head repeatedly:

"You don't know that our naughty son has been clinging to Hu Weiyong all along."

"I have heard about this matter a little bit. After all, Hu Weiyong has been the prime minister for so many years, and there are always many people who want to curry favor with him."

Wang Buli certainly knew Li Shanchang's family. Except for his eldest son, the rest were all dead.

The main reason was that this old man had lived a little longer and was also capable, which made Zhu Yuanzhang think he was Sima Yi.

It's definitely possible.

So it was inevitable to kill him.

Who gave us the example of Sima Yi?
Wang Buli also knew Li Shanchang's ending. At this time, the old man felt a sense of crisis and didn't know what to do, so he came to ask himself.

"Mr. Han, this kind of thing has made everyone nervous, and I am also unsure about it."

"I know, so I want to find someone to talk to. It's because our offspring are not doing well!"
