Chapter 257: After guarding the prison for a hundred years, I became an immortal [Please subscribe]
Ming Dynasty, Jianwen four years.
Ying Tianfu, in the imperial prison.
One day passed and the sun rose again.
Jiang Xinghuo, who was lying on the haystack, opened his eyes in a daze and quickly came to his senses.
He is still in the prison of Yingtian Mansion in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been less than half a month since he traveled through time.
Just yesterday, he joined the Zhutian chat group and received a system given by the leader of the chat group, Changsheng Zhenren.
【Guard Prison System】
Now, another day has passed and it’s time to claim the reward.
With a thought in his mind, Jiang Xinghuo breathed out the system in his mind.
[Ding! The host successfully guards the prison for one day and will be rewarded with strength +1, constitution +1, agility +1, and spirit +1]
Sure enough, the next moment, a reminder flashed before his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable force came out of thin air and poured into his body.
1 point of strength, 1 point of constitution, 1 point of agility and 1 point of spirit, equivalent to the average value of a normal adult, are added together to the body. What is the concept?
Jiang Xinghuo just wanted to say one word, cool!
The strength of the whole body has been doubled, the physique has been doubled, the agility has been doubled, and the spirit has been doubled.
The mind becomes clearer, and people become more energetic and energetic.
I waved my fist and found that it became stronger and my limbs became more flexible.
"In this way, it would not be bad if we could keep adding more."
Lying back on the haystack again, Jiang Xinghuo said to himself with a satisfied look on his face.
After entering the imperial prison, although he only had half a month, he found that what his predecessors said was true.
Everyone inside is a talented person, including Jianwen rebels, Confederate generals, and flower-picking thieves.
These people are nice to talk to and brag about their great achievements when they have nothing to do.
Jiang Xinghuo found that he liked the life here very much.
The best thing is that some time ago, he also met a second-generation noble man who is stupid and rich, called Qian Duoduo for short.
This man liked to hear him brag, and he was generous with his actions, giving him a lot of money every time.
You know, ancient prisons were not as good as modern ones, and eating, drinking, and having sex cost money.
It just so happened that every time Duoduo listened to his bragging, he would give him some money, which was just enough for Jiang Xinghuo's daily needs.
It’s so satisfying to make money just by lying down!
"Bang bang bang bang."
At this moment, the iron cell door was banged, and Jiang Xinghuo, who was about to take a nap, was woken up.
He looked up and saw that it was Qian Duoduo who lived next door to him.
This man is young but has a dark complexion, a face as resolute as a knife, and a thick beard under his chin.
"Mr. Jiang, please stop sleeping. It's time to give a lecture."
Seeing Jiang Xinghuo wake up, Qian Duoduo's loud voice rang out.
"Why are you so anxious? We'll wait until the wind breaks out. It would be great to lie down in the sun and bask in the sun."
Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and said slowly.
"Then let's go out now, and I'll ask them to let us both out."
Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up and he said quickly.
Later, I don't know what trick he used, but the jailer actually opened the cell door and let them go out to have fun.
It's said to be a place for outdoor viewing, but it's actually a courtyard surrounded by high walls. There's nothing in it except a big tree with a crooked neck.
The surrounding walls are at least seven or eight meters high, making it impossible for the prisoners to escape.
The two came to the yard, and the jailer was guarding the door. Jiang Xinghuo lay down under the crooked neck tree to bask in the sun, eating the big watermelon bought by Qian Duoduo.
It has to be said that rich and powerful people can do whatever they want even in prison.
As long as you don't leave the prison, you can eat and drink whatever you want with money.
Even if you want to find a woman, the jailers can find it for you.
"By the way, where did we talk last time?"
After eating the big watermelon, Jiang Xinghuo stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and said to Qian Duoduo in front of him.
"Mr. Jiang, last time we talked about the centralization and decentralization of power in the Song Dynasty."
Qian Duoduo sat cross-legged with his back straight, showing the demeanor of an iron-blooded soldier.
"Oh, what do you think?"
Jiang Xinghuo found a comfortable position to lie down and asked casually.
"If Emperor Yongle was born as a prince in the Song Dynasty, he would definitely not be able to succeed in Jingnan."
Qian Duoduo curled his lips in disdain and said sarcastically.
"This comparison is not appropriate. You regard Emperor Yongle as Song Taizu, for example."
Jiang Xinghuo explained to him lazily.
While Jiang Xinghuo was giving a lecture to Qian Duoduo, a big shot came to the gate of the prison.
All I could see was a Nine Dragon Royal Chariot approaching slowly, with Han generals behind it holding canopies and other objects.
After arriving at the imperial prison, a corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, and sitting inside was a middle-aged man wearing a golden crown and a dragon robe.
This person is none other than Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, who has just ascended the throne.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
Commander Ji Gang of the Jin Yiwei came forward cautiously.
No wonder he was not careful. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, ministers have written letters one after another, requesting Your Majesty to establish a crown prince.
His Majesty Yongle has three princes, namely the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, and the third prince Zhu Gaosui.
In accordance with the principle of ordering the elders and younger ones, His Majesty intended to make the eldest prince the crown prince. This was known to the second prince Zhu Gaoxu. He moved into the prison on the spot and said, 'I will go in by myself to save my eldest brother from doing it himself after he becomes the crown prince.'
.
However, Ji Gang, as Zhu Di's personal guard during the Jingnan Campaign, heard with his own ears the words Zhu Di promised to Zhu Gaoxu, "The prince is very sick, so you should do your best."
Therefore, Ji Gang also understood that although His Majesty did not say it, he felt guilty in his heart for Zhu Gaoxu, who had always been brave and supported him all the way through the difficult battle.
"How is the second prince doing in prison?"
Zhu Di asked calmly.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince recently found a gentleman in prison, and he devotes himself to studying every day."
Ji Gang replied cautiously.
"Dedicate yourself to learning?"
Zhu Di snorted coldly and said: "I have found many famous teachers and scholars for this traitor since he was a child, but he has driven them away one by one. Which one can teach him for three days?"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. I have been teaching you for half a month."
Ji Gang replied.
"Um?"
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and stared at Ji Gang until his heart went crazy.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang Xinghuo is giving a lecture to the second prince right now."
Ji Gang was sweating profusely and his back was soaked, and he replied solemnly.
Jiang Xinghuo?
Zhu Di recited it silently.
"Take me to see it."
Zhu Di said curiously.
"Your Majesty, if you go directly, the two of them will avoid talking, and you will definitely not hear the content of their lectures."
Ji Gang looked embarrassed, hesitated, and suggested: "The location where they lecture is against the high wall of the prison, and behind the wall is a secret room."
"You mean, let me eavesdrop on their lectures?"
Zhu Di waved his hand to interrupt his next words and asked.
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
Ji Gang bowed and said, "I thought that if I could make His Highness the Second Prince listen patiently for half a month, Mr. Jiang Xinghuo's class would be worthy of Your Majesty's attention."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhu Di took a deep look at him, and his curiosity became more and more intense.
Yes, how could he not understand his own son?
Zhu Gaoxu was brave and fierce, but he was most bored with studying literature, let alone attending lectures.
Being able to make him listen patiently for half a month is enough to prove that the person named Jiang Xinghuo must be teaching something.
"Yes, I obey your order."
Ji Gang responded quickly and then ordered the accompanying officials to prepare for the matter.
Soon, Zhu Di arrived at the secret room Ji Gang mentioned. There was a table with pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on it.
Two petty officials were stationed in separate quarters, preparing to transcribe what the prisoners said in order to prevent them from discussing escape.
After Zhu Di came in, Ji Gang waved his hand and ordered the two minor officials to give up their positions.
The other end.
"Tell me, when Song Taizu wore a yellow robe, would he be worried that his military chiefs would do the same?"
Jiang Xinghuo gave a lecture to Qian Duoduo and said: "This is the fundamental origin of the centralization of power in the Song Dynasty."
"I understand what Mr. Jiang means. Emperor Yongle is planning to cut down the vassal vassal. Is he afraid that other vassal kings will also try to appease him?"
Qian Duoduo had a look of surprise on his face, and soon understood another meaning of what Jiang Xinghuo said.
"Eh, that's not right. As far as I know, Emperor Yongle has just ascended the throne and generously rewarded all the vassal kings. Doesn't it look like he is going to cut down the vassals?"
But soon, he shook his head again.
"Haha, since you have compared Song Taizu to Emperor Yongle, don't you understand?"
Jiang Xinghuo said lazily: "The reduction of vassal status is inevitable, but rewards have two meanings."
"On the surface, he expressed goodwill to the vassal kings to show that his fourth brother was different from Jianwen's eldest nephew who turned his back and refused to recognize his relatives."
"Secretly, his other meaning is that even if he cuts down the vassal vassal, he will do it just like Song Taizu released his military power over a cup of wine and will not forcefully use weapons."
"This is also a guarantee for the feudal kings. Although the power in the hands of the feudal kings is reduced, it ensures their prosperity and wealth for generations to come."
In the secret room on the other side of the wall.
Hearing this, Zhu Di raised his eyebrows.
This scholar named Jiang Xinghuo actually saw through his intentions at a glance, which was quite interesting.
"You said, this person is just a disciple that Fang Xiaoru taught when he was a private school in the countryside?"
Thinking of this person's identity, Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ji Gang replied: "Because he is a disciple of the criminal Fang Xiaoru, he is also within the scope of the execution of the ten clans this time, and he will be executed ten days later."
"How could a country boy have such insight? Why did he deliberately approach the prince? Is this a secret arrangement by Jianwen's remnants?"
Zhu Di asked calmly with a cold face.
"I deserve to die. Please give me some time, Your Majesty, and I will definitely get to the bottom of it."
Hearing the emperor's question, Ji Gang broke into a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice.
"I'll give you three days."
Zhu Di stared at him for a while, as if he wanted to penetrate his soul.
"Thank you for your grace!"
Ji Gang bowed to accept the order and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side of the wall, the lecture continued.
"Mr. Jiang, do you think that by lifting the military power of the vassals in this way, peace troubles will not occur in the future?"
Qian Duoduo, no, Zhu Gaoxu asked seriously.
“Among the reasons for the future demise of the Ming Dynasty, rebellion by the vassal kings is definitely not one of them.”
Jiang Xinghuo said slowly: "Of course, there will definitely be rebellion among the vassal kings, but they will not be able to achieve the achievements of Emperor Yongle."
"What if someone is dissatisfied now, jumps out to oppose, and raises troops to rebel?"
Zhu Gaoxu asked eagerly.
"It's not that I look down on those vassal kings, Yongle is known as the emperor of the ages!"
Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and said, "As for those feudal lords, even if they were tied together, they wouldn't be able to beat them with one hand."
"What if someone doesn't see the situation clearly and insists on rebelling?"
Zhu Gaoxu asked again.
"Then if they jump out, wouldn't they just become the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys?"
Jiang Xinghuo said calmly: "Even Zhu Yunwen's million-strong army can't stop Emperor Yongle, what can they do to stop him?"
"So according to what you said, using a glass of wine to release military power, after reducing the military power of the vassal kings, won't there be any future troubles?"
Zhu Gaoxu heard this and after being silent for a long time, he asked reluctantly.
"oh"
Hearing his question, Jiang Xinghuo's expression became serious.
"Yes, and it has laid two huge hidden dangers."
After pondering for a moment, he said: "These two hidden dangers are enough to shorten the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty."
next door.
Hearing Jiang Xinghuo's words, Zhu Di frowned and his eyes showed anger.
Ji Gang was sweating profusely and restless.
Is it possible for a minister of his to listen to such important social and state affairs?
After hearing this, will your Majesty silence you?
"Why?"
Zhu Gaoxu asked puzzledly.
As soon as this question came out, not only Zhu Di, but also Ji Gang was extremely curious.
They all wanted to hear the explanation from Jiang Xinghuo's mouth.
"That's it for today's lecture. As for why, think about it carefully and answer me tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, just when he heard the important moment, Jiang Xinghuo stopped talking and announced that get out of class was over.
Zhu Di was so angry that he stood up and wanted to rush over and grab Jiang Xinghuo's neck and question him for the answer.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Ji Gang stopped him firmly.
"call"
Zhu Di took a deep breath and calmed down.
"I will give you one day. You must investigate his origins, whether there is anyone secretly instigating him, and whether there is any connection with the remnants of Jianwen."
Then, he looked at Ji Gang with a cold face and ordered: "I want to know the answer before the class tomorrow!"
"This minister obeys the order!"
Ji Gang gritted his teeth and bowed to accept the order.
"snort!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left the secret room.
Ji Gang quickly followed.
the other side.
After Jiang Xinghuo finished speaking, he stood up and leisurely left the courtyard where he was exposed, and walked back to his cell very consciously.
With the [Guard Prison System], even if Emperor Yongle pardons his crimes and asks him to leave, he will not leave. This Yingtian Mansion Prison is his home.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
During these seven days, Jiang Xinghuo spent half an hour every day giving lectures for Qianduo in exchange for daily necessities, and he lived a very leisurely life.
On this day, Jiang Xinghuo woke up early in the morning, and the first thing he did was receive the reward.
[Ding! The host successfully guards the prison for seven days and will be rewarded with strength +10, constitution +10, agility +10, and spirit +10]
Sure enough, the next moment, a familiar prompt popped up.
"It's coming, it's worth waiting for me for seven days!"
Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up, and he was immersed in the joy of physical evolution.
Ahhhhh, the author's account was banned from the entire site for seven days, it's a bit magical!
