Chapter 304 Zhu Di: Dont force me to kneel down and beg you.
[Both Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng, in the final analysis, they are both very typical idealists.]
[For idealists, their biggest flaw is their own ideals. Zhang Fu’s ideal is the southwest, while Mu Sheng’s ideal is a promise. 】
[Idealists are not terrible, what is terrible are rational and pragmatic idealists. Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng belong to the pragmatic school. 】
[For them, their ideals are very important, but they are not blinded by their ideals, but care about reality. Without reality, all ideals are empty talk.]
[You spent ten years convincing Zhang Fu. For Zhang Fu, it doesn’t matter who the emperor is, as long as his surname is Zhu. 】
[What's more, whether Emperor Yongle can come back alive from Mobei is a question. If he follows King Qi to rebel against the prince or the king of Han, there will be no psychological burden on him. 】
[And you also promised Zhang Fu that if you attack Beijing, you will let Zhang Fu guard Annan for generations like the Mu family in Yunnan.]
[Although Zhang Fu was persuaded, how to persuade Mu Sheng, Duke of Guizhou, became another problem. 】
[It took you ten years to convince Zhang Fu, but you no longer have ten years to convince Mu Sheng, and it is much more difficult to convince Mu Sheng than Zhang Fu.]
[The condition you gave Zhang Fu was to grant Annan to the Zhang family, but what about Mu Sheng? The Mu family already has Yunnan, so there is no way to seal it.]
【But for you, this is not a problem.】
Zhu Di opened his eyes wide. He had discovered in the previous simulation that the Duke of Guizhou and King Qi were in cahoots, but how?
It is said that the Mu family has been loyal to the Zhu family for generations, but this statement is actually not accurate.
The Mu family is only loyal to the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.
They loyally followed the orders given by Zhu Yuanzhang during his lifetime and guarded Yunnan for generations. They were not guarding Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty or the Zhu family, but for Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Mu family had guarded Yunnan for nearly three hundred years for Zhu Yuanzhang. Until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family was still clinging to this belief. The last generation of the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo, followed Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty to Myanmar and was killed by three people during the Cursed Water Disaster.
Surrounded by thousands of Burmese soldiers, he was exhausted and died after grabbing his sword and resisting. Mu Tianbo was also killed at the same time as his youngest son Mu Zhongliang who was with him.
Starting from Muying, the first king of Qianning, the Mu family has kept its promise with Zhu Yuanzhang for generations and has never had any evil thoughts.
So how did Zhu Gaojie persuade Mu Sheng to let the Duke of Guizhou rebel with him?
[You used Zhang Fu’s channel to write a secret letter to Mu Sheng, Duke of Guizhou.]
[The letter said: "In the city of Haozhou, there was an eight-year-old beggar boy. I couldn't bear to wander to the end of the world, so I took him in as my adopted son. He followed me on the expedition, and worked tirelessly to capture only central Yunnan and spread his power in the southwest. He died of illness in his prime, and my heart ached. Big Star
One night when the southwest falls, who in the thousands of miles will be worried about the Holy Lord? I feel that the sun and moon are shining in the nine springs, and the mountains will be famous forever. With the Mu family in the town, I have no worries about the southwest. Now I order you to inherit the inheritance from your father and brother, and stay in the southwest forever to share my worries."]
Zhu Di felt a little strange. This tone seemed to be... said in the tone of Lao Zhu?!
I'm afraid that King Qi is seriously ill. Why should he imitate your grandfather?
[Mu Sheng was greatly shocked after receiving the letter. He quickly took out another letter and compared it with the letter sent by King Qi. One was new and the other was old. The handwriting was different, but the content was exactly the same. 】
[This old letter was written by Grandfather Taizu to Mu Sheng before his death. At that time, Mu Sheng had just taken over the inheritance from his father and brother and was granted the title of Marquis of Xiping. However, Emperor Hongwu was about to die. This letter Only three people know the content of the letter, one is the great grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang who wrote the letter, one is Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, and the other is Mu Sheng himself.]
[When Taizu passed away, King Qi was still a little kid, so it was impossible to have any contact with King Qi, and Mu Sheng himself had never interacted with King Qi, so there was only one possibility——]
[King Qi is involved with the missing Emperor Jianwen! 】
[Even, King Qi is very likely to know the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen! 】
Zhu Di's body trembled, he raised his head and shouted: "Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng!"
"Tell the Fourth Brother to come see me!"
"Hurry! Hurry! Tang Cheng, where the hell did you die!"
He is not in the mood to watch any simulation now. He just wants to find Zhu Gaojie and ask about Jianwen's whereabouts!
This is also the first time that the old man has lost his composure. During previous simulations, even when the simulation involved Yingzong being captured by Wala or Chongzhen hanging at Meishan, he never interrupted the simulation.
But this time it was different, he was really panicked.
Emperor Jianwen was his biggest concern. Ever since he ascended the throne, he had been thinking about the missing Emperor Jianwen.
As for the charred corpses in the Qianqing Palace?
Zhu Di simply didn’t believe that those were the bodies of Jianwen’s family!
He was sure that Jianwen must still be alive and hiding somewhere where he couldn't see. This had become his inner demon. If Jianwen was not found, he would not be able to rest in peace even if he died!
Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Gaojie, how did these two people get involved together?
…
Xiangshan, Zhu Gaojie frowned slightly: "The old man is looking for me?"
Tang Cheng nodded: "Yes, very urgent."
Zhu Gaojie was a little embarrassed: "Can it be later? I have an urgent matter at hand now. The Minister of Punishment died in Xiangshan. How about I arrange the case and then go to see the saint?"
He had just played a big game in Xiangshan. It was the time to make a move, and he was really weak and had no time to deal with the old man.
But Tang Cheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty means that you should come to see him immediately without any delay."
Zhu Gaojie was a little helpless: "Okay, then I will go to Qianqing Palace now."
…
When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he and the old man stared at each other, neither of them willing to speak first.
Zhu Gaojie was puzzled. The old man came to him in such a hurry but didn't tell him what was going on. This really didn't look like the other person's fiery character.
After a long time, Zhu Di asked with a sullen face: "Where did you hide Jianwen?"
A big question mark appeared on Zhu Gaojie's head.
WTF?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jianwen?
Emperor Jianwen has nothing to do with me!
How do I know where he is hiding?
…
In the world in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang was also confused: "What the hell, do you know where this kid Yunwen is?"
Zhu Gaojiu raised his forehead and said, "I know a hammer. I was only ten years old when Emperor Jianwen disappeared, and he had nothing to do with me at all. My father mobilized the whole country and sent Zheng He to the Western Seas to search for people, secretly.
During the Kedu affair, Hu Xi was secretly searching for Emperor Jianwen's traces, but he couldn't find Emperor Jianwen. How can I find him?"
Hu Hui, who was born as a Jinshi in Erjia, was initially assigned the military department to Shizhong. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was promoted to the household department and was given to Shizhong.
But this official promotion was not in vain. Hu Xi had to secretly visit the people on behalf of Zhu Di to find traces of Emperor Jianwen. This was a long process. No one knew where Emperor Jianwen went. Maybe he really cut off his hair and found a corner for the monk.
He went into a certain place to practice Buddhism, and he might actually be dead, but Hu Xi could only bite the bullet and keep looking.
His footprints traveled through every inch of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, his mother passed away. Hu Hu wanted to go home to mourn, but Zhu Di refused. In order to compensate, he was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites in return.
Zhu Di spent so much manpower and material resources but could not find traces of Emperor Jianwen. How could Zhu Gaojie know!
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little suspicious: "My dear grandpa, grandpa is old and no longer useful. You must not fool grandpa."
Zhu Gaojie was a little tired: "Grandpa, do you think your grandson will lie to you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was still suspicious in his heart: "There is no smoke without fire. If you really have nothing to do with that kid Jianwen, how can the fourth child doubt you? No, listening to his tone, it seems that it is not just as simple as doubting you, but more like something else.
Smoking gun evidence.”
Zhu Gaojie almost collapsed: "I'm so damn curious. What kind of nonsense is it that framed me? The key is that the old man really believed it!"
…
Zhu Gaojie sighed and said: "Dad, to be honest, Jianwen really has nothing to do with me. Think about it, how old was I when you took over Nanjing? At that time, I was just a man with only honor and no real power.
Prince, no matter how suspicious you are, you should not doubt me!"
The old man shook his head: "Impossible, I have a showdown with you. I already have solid evidence that you and Jianwen are colluding together. But don't worry, even if you are colluding with Jianwen, I will not
I won’t blame you, you just need to leave Jianwen to me.”
Zhu Gaojie:......
Where the hell can I find a Jianwen to hand over to you?
Let King Chongyang of the Shu Palace in Chengdu wear the dragon robe again?
Zhu Di frowned and said: "Boy, don't look at your father and me. I've already told you that as long as you hand Jianwen over to me, I can forget the blame, otherwise..."
Zhu Gaojie raised his eyebrows slightly: "Otherwise, how about dethroning my son's position as crown prince?"
His temper has also risen. You old man Zhu Di, for no reason, labeled him as colluding with Jianwen. Do you really think that he is a clay figure who can be manipulated casually?
His patience is also limited. The old man asked him to hand over Jianwen, but he had no idea about it. What the hell!
Now that the old man was using a threatening tone, Zhu Gaojie was also a little dissatisfied.
What, you want to fight with me?
Okay, let's see who can beat the other. If you want to fight me to the death, let's see if I, the fish, die first, or your net breaks first!
Zhu Di was embarrassed. He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have the means to threaten Zhu Gaojie.
Most of the important officials of the Manchu Dynasty served in the East Palace.
This is all the result of Zhu Di's own laissez-faire.
The chief officials of one pavilion, two chambers, six ministries and nine ministers are 70% loyal to the East Palace and continue to spread their influence among the government and the public. The three provinces of Liaodong, Jianzhou and Goryeo in the northeast move officials to various places every year. Officials from these three provinces in the northeast,
Most of them are the backbone of the East Palace.
Although Zhu Di still held the capital camp and the imperial army composed of the above twelve guards in his hands, he had no military power and was unpopular. He and Zhu Gaojie fought to the end, but both sides suffered losses.
It is true that he was able to capture Zhu Gaojie in the capital, but the consequence was that all the important officials in the six ministries, one pavilion, two chambers, nine ministers and two chambers would go on strike, and the center of the entire empire would stagnate. Even in the two major military towns in the northeast and northwest,
There will be a mutiny problem to force Zhu Di to release his people.
In the end, it is hard to say who will die first, Zhu Di or Zhu Gaojie. Anyway, Ming Dynasty will probably be unable to bear it first.
This is also the reason why "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers". If these two tigers can live together peacefully, it will be fine, but if they have differences, the entire mountain forest will be swallowed up by the flames of war.
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and veins popped out on his head.
Zhu Gaojie's eyes were cold, showing no fear of the emperor's majesty.
The momentum of the two people has reached its peak, like a fierce confrontation between a tsunami and a mountain. The temperature of the air suddenly dropped, as if time had frozen.
Just when Zhu Gaojie thought that the old man was going to get angry, Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said threateningly: "Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!"
Zhu Gaojie: "???"
…
The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the wild geese are flying south.
Looking forward, one can see a stretch of winding green mountains, beside a deep blue pool, and towering rocks. The eminent monk bent down and picked up a handful of water with both hands. After taking a sip, he relieved the fatigue of the long journey.
He looked at the figure in the water and said leisurely: "The moon died today and fell into the well. We should come out together. Don't let the world be surrounded by darkness for a long time."
"His Majesty."
A shadow attendant wearing black armor and an evil ghost-covered iron mask bowed and said, "Hu Hui sent by King Yan has followed the traces to find us. This person is really difficult to deal with. He was able to catch up all the way with the help of vague clues."
, it’s really a serious problem, do you need me to let this person ‘accidentally die suddenly’?”
The eminent monk waved his hand and said: "This Hu Ming is indeed a wonderful person. He has been looking for a poor monk for more than ten years. His perseverance is commendable. You, you, the murderous aura in your body is too strong. If you can practice more good deeds, you can offset it."
Karma."
Shadow Attendant hesitated and asked, "Then what should we do?"
"When disaster comes, avoid it."
The eminent monk stood up and walked along the stone road in the direction of the sun. He said in a calm voice, "We just move forward and don't care about what happens behind us."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Traveling is also about seeking the Tao."
"This endless road is the most rare scripture in the world."
…
"Yes, I should have found him, no... what is this, damn, what went wrong?"
In the mountains and fields, the man was all slovenly dressed. His long beard and hair, which had not been trimmed for an unknown period of time, were as messy as a chicken coop. They were greasy and dirty, and his hair was mixed with bamboo leaves and insects.
His pupils were like a pair of rat eyes, looking around, he picked up a piece of mustard and chewed it in his mouth, as if he was tasting the taste of the weed:
"That's right, Jianwen must have appeared here before... within three months?"
He slapped his thigh, "Damn it, you're a step too late!"
It's hard to imagine that this slovenly man, who looks worse than a beggar, is Hu Bi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Although his title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites is a false title, he is still a high-ranking official of the third rank. If he goes to the yamen of any province, even the chief official of the province must treat him with respect.
Because he is an imperial envoy.
Hu Hui followed the emperor's order to track down the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. He had been doing this job for more than ten years. With almost no clues, he got extremely close to Emperor Jianwen's traces several times. All this was due to his intelligence.
A ridiculous talent:
--intuition.
Just by chewing the weeds that someone stepped on a few months ago, he can accurately determine where that person is going. This kind of intuition, which can be called a ghost, allows him to always determine where to go next.
However, after more than ten years of pursuit, he still failed to catch up with Emperor Jianwen.
Hu Bi concluded that there must be a mysterious and capable army beside Emperor Jianwen, helping Emperor Jianwen eliminate traces!
