Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 099

In the early morning of the third day, the pair of suffering brothers and sisters who huddled together in a cage to keep warm entered Beiping City with white frost on their foreheads. When Xia Xun heard the guards reveal their identities to the city guards who came forward to check, he finally confirmed that He made his own judgment: "They are indeed from Yan Wangfu. These two noble women must be Yan Wang's family members. That beautiful woman is definitely Yan Wangfei, and the little girl is her younger sister... Could it be? Is she Xu Guogong's mistress?"

In this case, the identity of the black-clothed monk who is skinny and mighty like a god when he is angry is also ready to be revealed. Only Monk Daoyan can get along so closely with Yan Wang's family. This black-clothed monk is Yao Guangxiao and Yongle Dynasty the prime minister in black

Zhu Di, the King of Yan, was originally the person he was determined to rely on at first, but he never expected that the two of them would have a relationship under such a strange circumstance.Once he knew the identity of the person he offended, Xia Xun stopped worrying.As long as he reveals his identity as the King of Qi, he will be safe and sound in the Palace of the King of Yan. What kind of person is the King of Yan, how can he turn against the King of Qi because of a trivial matter.

Xia Xun's heart couldn't help but thump at the thought of having a chance to meet the historical Emperor Yongle soon.

For Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Di, Xia Xun did not have any prejudice, nor did he have any likes and dislikes arising from many jokes in later generations.He is a very rational person. Out of his professional habits, he will conduct a rational analysis of the information he has and the stories he has heard. According to his analysis, he does not agree with Zhu Di's long-standing conspiracy. Seize the argument.

For Jianwen and King Yan, he didn't have any personal feelings for either party, and it is impossible for him to have any personal feelings.In terms of the development of the country and the nation, Zhu Dixiong is far superior to Jianwen.In terms of personal morality, Zhu Di is certainly not a perfect gentleman, and Emperor Jianwen is also not a good bird.

One wants to cut down the vassal, so that the Ming Dynasty will be inherited by him and his descendants from generation to generation, and the other wants to protect himself, because he is unwilling to be demoted to a commoner, and his nephew takes him to Hainan Island to eat and drink. Well, when the time comes, your old man, the emperor, will not be at ease, and it will be easy to "die from a sudden illness" again.Everyone is the blood of the Taizu. You are a worthless emperor. I am already very upset just because your father was born earlier than me. You still want to seize the family property that my father gave me. Why?

From the perspective of "criminal motives", neither of them had any lofty or great reasons, they were all for themselves. Since neither of the reasons can be said to be so impartial, don't say who is right and who is wrong.And it’s hard to say who is right and who is wrong. After the king of Yan proclaimed himself emperor, he also took the move to cut down the vassals, but his cutting down the vassals was only to weaken the military power of the vassal kings, and all other rights and interests did not change. The vassal kings couldn’t stop fighting. A fish dies and a net breaks.

However, Emperor Jianwen, who was touted by the civil servants as the most benevolent and filial piety, did not distinguish between the virtuous and the foolish. He demoted his uncles and his family to common people, and sent them to remote places to eat and drink dew to cultivate gods.The uncle who was assigned to Hainan Island, his youngest son was born, his wife had no milk, and he couldn’t even afford a nanny. He couldn’t even get milk if he wanted to, so he had to take his clothes to the shepherd for some goat milk to feed his son.Another uncle was forced to set his family on fire to commit suicide. If he only seized military power, this uncle would never be so extreme.

Speaking of rebellion, in some later novels and commentaries, Zhu Di wrote that he had hidden ambitions, and he had already objected, but judging from Zhu Di's subsequent reactions, Xia Xun didn't believe this statement at all.When Zhu Yunqi attacked the emperor's uncles one by one, what did King Yan Zhu Di do?He sent all his sons to the capital as hostages to show his loyalty. If these sons hadn't been fooled by Zhu Yunxuan and released them back to cover up his intention to attack King Yan, there would be no possibility of them coming back. If King Yan had wanted to rebel, he would never have made such a bad move.

Look at how hasty he was when he raised his troops. Zhu Yunxuan replaced all the garrisons and generals in Beiping one by one, and the three guards and horses of King Yan were also transferred away. , the only means he took to protect himself was to pretend to be crazy, hoping that his nephew would let him go because of this. Two generals who led an army to besiege the palace tricked them into the palace to arrest them, and then they summoned their own eight hundred soldiers to rebel against the flag.

The prince was forced to do this, so he didn't even have any soldiers. In the end, he took the risk to meet King Ning alone and seize the military power. This is another unforeseen lucky ending. , even tied him up and gave it to the emperor, he's already finished

Don't explain how important the power of the prince was in the early days, it depends on how many soldiers and horses were pulled by King Ning when he rebelled against Emperor Zhengde, who was far less powerful than the prince in the early Ming Dynasty. The already severely weakened waste can pull up so many troops, commanding the frontier army for more than ten years, the talented and bold Zhu Di, and the resourceful Yao Guangxiao as his staff, did he get mixed up in this position under the premise that he had already opposed it?

Xia Xun is a policeman, he will not listen to one side or believe in another, he will not act emotionally, what he needs is evidence, if there is no evidence, he will analyze and reason based on the facts.Understand problems with an impartial, realistic attitude.In his opinion, the vassal king may be an unstable factor in the empire, but at least before Jianwen cut down the vassal, no prince had thought of rebelling. Zhu Di tried his best, even pretending to be crazy, and the sword was still fighting On his neck, he was obliged to turn.

Look at the black-clothed monk right in front of him. The records about him in some books are amazing. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang choose monks to serve the princes? Yao Guangxiao fell in love with King Yan at a glance, and walked up to him and said that he would give him a white hat The hat, with white on the top of the king, is the character of the emperor. Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard that, and the two rebels hit it off immediately, and they began to plan a rebellion since then. This is pure nonsense.

Not to mention that the prince Zhu Biao was alive at that time, Zhu Di could rebel against his nephew, but he would never be able to rebel against his kind and prestigious elder brother. In addition, his other two brothers were also alive at that time, even if the prince Zhu Biao died, No matter what, the throne will not be his turn. If Yao Guangxiao really has the ability to predict things like a god, he is sure that none of those people will live long, and he won't have to rebel in such a mess after more than ten years. If it weren't for Zhu Yunqi himself If he made a foolish move, it would be impossible for Zhu Di to succeed.

Furthermore, the records in those books are so detailed, time, place, characters, facial expressions, actions, psychology, dialogues, so detailed that they could be made into a movie. Excuse me, how did he know?Did Zhu Di tell him or did Yao Bena ~ Guangxiao tell him?After proclaiming himself emperor, Zhu Di kept insisting that he was in Jingnan and had no choice but to send troops to clear the emperor's side. They would never reveal this secret that only the two of them could know, so how did others know?It's obviously nonsense.

Even when Zhu Di entered the pilgrimage to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, he saw Zhu Yunwen, who had been established as the emperor's grandson, and some people interpreted his disrespectful words to him as an antipathy, but Xia Xun thought it was the opposite. Look at what the most incompetent conspirator, the most stupid rebel, His Royal Highness Prince Ning did during the Zhengde Dynasty. Many people did not believe it during the rebellion.

May I ask if Zhu Di, who is much smarter and more capable than him, had plotted a rebellion long ago and was about to take over his nephew's throne, would he still be impatient and say indecent words in front of Zhu Yunqi?Is he ready?He wasn't afraid of Zhu Yunqi's army at all?He was afraid that Zhu Yunqi would not know that he was going to rebel?Then why did he pretend to be crazy and act stupid in such a mess?

Xia Xun had studied criminal psychology. He believed that Zhu Di was dissatisfied with his father for passing the throne to Zhu Yunqi but had no resentment, so he vented his dissatisfaction in such an angry tone.This is actually the same mentality as Lin Bei Xia Lin, shopkeeper of Lin Yang's pawn shop, couldn't hold back his cynicism when he saw him. If he really had some conspiracy, it wouldn't be like this.

Think again about Zhu Yunxuan forcing the death of one royal uncle's family and exiling four royal uncles' families. These five royal uncles obediently obeyed, but he had no mercy at all. However, King Yan rebelled, his filial piety came, and his family affection sprouted With tears in his eyes, he took the hand of the general commanding the army and said earnestly: "Don't hurt my uncle." Where is this fucking liar?

What he did was to shake Zhu Di's determination to rebel, telling Zhu Laosi: "Put down the knife, don't resist, I don't want to kill you at all." Seeing that I have no intention of killing him, how can I treat you as a thorn in my side?"

In fact, there are no eyes on the battlefield, Zhu Di escaped from death many times, all by himself, and rescued by his soldiers. General Zhang Yu died in exhaustion to save him. It was because of bloody fighting and saving his father several times that Zhu Di was moved by it, and he came up with the idea of ​​making his second son the heir after the successful rebellion.

Tie Xuan made a fake surrender in Jinan, set up a secret mechanism, and almost killed Zhu Xi. Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed at first when he heard about it, and then he was promoted to Tie Xuan's official position, and then he sighed at Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng for the death of Zhu Laosi Big, this is his "Don't Hurt My Uncle?" He himself is so stupid that he thinks others are as stupid as him. Which idiot would believe such a naive political show?

So when Xia Xun wanted to find a way out, the first thing he thought of was Zhu Di.Not only because of Zhu Yunwen's hypocrisy, but also because he is hopelessly stupid.Did Zhu Yuanzhang really not leave him with capable civil servants and generals?Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji, Jin Youzi, Wang Cheng, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji... All of them were given political life in the hands of Zhu Di. What Zhu Yunqi trusted and promoted people?A few nerds who can only talk and talk, he himself doesn't know people, who is to blame?

Besides military generals, some people always say that Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the heroic heroes, but if those heroes and powerful groups are still there, they must be loyal to Jianwen?This is purely treating history and politics as fairy tales.What Emperor Jianwen did was to cut down the vassals, weaken the status of generals, and establish a government of scholars.

If those powerful groups of founding heroes existed, and the royal family had disputes, they would definitely look for opportunities to maximize their interests.Once this state appears, the Ming Empire will follow in the footsteps of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Ming Empire will become a short-lived empire.Even if it is not so pessimistic, Beiyuan has not yet passed Zhu Di's five sweeps of Mobei, and the strength is still there. The Western Emperor Timur is eyeing, and Zhu Yunqi leads a bunch of useless idiots to suppress Wu Yangwen. I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will end in the second generation.

Although the group of heroes no longer exists, it doesn’t mean that those skilled generals under them no longer exist. During the four-year Jingnan War, how many times Zhu Di escaped from death, many Ming soldiers who were able to conquer him were able to defeat him. General, who is Zhu Yunxuan emphasizing on?His eldest cousin, Li Jinglong, is the number one idiot in Daming.Let a pig lead a group of ligers, can the ligers still display their abilities?

The most ridiculous thing is that his intention to destroy the vassal has been known all over the world, but the one he sent to guard Jinling was a vassal king—the King of Gu, Zhu Wei. He was so stupid when he read the books of sages. Once worn, anyone who wants to kill anyone who wants to kill anyone has to be willing to say "the king must die". Under such circumstances, Zhu Wei opened the city gate and let Zhu Di enter the city.

In the end, as the orthodox emperor, he controlled the land of the four seas and millions of soldiers, but he was defeated by Zhu Di who started with 800 people and only had one place in Beiping. What good is such a waste for the country and the people?It was because of these considerations that Xia Xun's heart began to lean towards Zhu Di.

But since he got the identity of Yang Xu, his thinking began to change. What does it matter to him that the Zhu family's uncles and nephews are fighting for power?Since he also believed in his heart that Zhu Di was the one who was suitable to rule this country, and it was Zhu Di who became the emperor in history, so why did he go through life and death to be a cannon fodder with an uncertain future?Honestly be his rich man, just wait for the owner of the country to change.

But he never expected that when he wanted to see Zhu Di, he went through all kinds of hardships and never made it to Peiping.When he didn't want to see Zhu Di, he struggled desperately and fled all night. In the end... he still entered Yan Wang's mansion...

The car creaked towards Yan Wang's mansion, and this special prison car attracted the attention of the citizens of Peiping.Ask the people from the White Lotus Sect in Beiping to help you search for it for two days, but Peng Ziqi, who still has no whereabouts of Yang Xu and the two of them, was wandering in the market boredly, when she suddenly saw a group of carriages and horses passing by the market, she glanced at it casually, and walked past without paying attention. .

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that something was wrong. Huo Di turned her head and looked again, her eyes widened in shock. Although she was imprisoned in the prison car for two days and her spirits were a little sluggish, she still looked like Xia Xun. I recognized it the same way.She never thought that the person she had searched for thousands of times in her crowd would appear in front of her in such an image. Peng Ziqi wanted to scream, but immediately closed his mouth vigilantly.

"This guy, what's the trouble?" As she was thinking, her feet had quietly moved forward with the vehicle.

Yanwang Mansion is the imperial palace of Dayuan, and there is still a considerable gap with the later Forbidden City, but it is already quite large-scale at this time. Once entering the palace, the prison cart is escorted to the distance along the side corridors, and the two sides are high. wall, only the gray sky above his head could be seen, Xia Xun suddenly had a feeling: he was in prison...
