Chapter 92: About Zhu Yings arrangements (please subscribe and vote monthly)
Tang He is very shrewd. Even though he is older now, he still knows that he must follow Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes.
Especially veterans like them.
Although he seems to have lost military power, his influence in the army is too great, which can easily arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion.
Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the Zhu Chongba whom he could play with when he was young.
There is a difference between ruler and minister. If you say something that violates taboos, you are seeking death.
Tang He knew this very well.
Hearing Tang He's words, Zhu Yuanzhang paused.
Ever since he discovered his eldest grandson Zhu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang has been immersed in joy and suspicion.
Emotion told him that this was his grandson. Reason told him that this was impossible.
It wasn't until today that he finally felt reassured.
However, there was no thought at all about how to arrange for the eldest grandson in the future.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, there is no doubt that the emperor of tomorrow will be his grandson.
This is what Tang He said.
Zhu Yuanzhang could understand the meaning, and it was not about the succession to the throne.
It means that Zhu Ying has been wandering for ten years and has no experience at all on how to be an emperor.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said with some emotion: "Old man, you can see clearly that we are not young now, and we have lived long enough."
"I just thought about the eldest grandson accompanying me, and forgot about the eldest grandson's current situation. With the eldest grandson's temperament, entering the palace directly may cause a big backlash."
Tang He heard this and said: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the old minister, if your Majesty can really confirm the identity of His Highness Changsun, he should allow His Highness Changsun to slowly get in touch with the ministers of the DPRK."
"There are some things that should not be rushed. After all, His Highness Changsun's appearance is too bizarre. The civil and military ministers in the court, including many of His Highness's sons and grandsons, may have a lot of opinions."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, Tang He's words were true.
No matter how sufficient the evidence is, only Zhu Yuanzhang himself can be sure, or some important officials can know.
But as far as the world is concerned, if the emperor's eldest grandson emerges, he will still be resurrected after ten years of death.
Weird things like this are particularly easy to exploit.
If Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly brought him up, the great grandson would have to face the strong wind in the world.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is the founding emperor, how can he stop the people of this world from talking about it?
When the time comes, once someone shows up with evil intentions, the world will inevitably be in turmoil.
"Old man, you have a point."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said. When he was alive, the world could certainly suppress him, but if he left.
The eldest grandson will have to face it alone.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think about how to make his eldest grandson secure the throne.
"Your Majesty, I think it may be possible to arrange some team members for His Highness Changsun first."
Tang He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was deep in thought, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
Tang He had been pondering over his thoughts about Zhu Yuanzhang ever since Zeng Changzhou was involved in an incident that resulted in him not being named a duke.
There are too many meritorious generals who founded the country, and their contributions are too great.
The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang himself also had many princes and grandchildren.
A long time ago, a problem arose.
There are too many military generals who have made great contributions, except for maintaining respect for Zhu Biao's direct lineage or a few vassal kings.
For other less famous princes and grandsons, he simply ignored them.
The so-called family, country and world refers to the great world, which belongs to the Zhu family.
He is the direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, so if he is a concubine, it will not count.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a small farmer. In terms of his personal ideological consciousness, he felt that his home was a big family.
This can be seen from the support of older princes such as the second eldest son Zhu Xi, the third eldest son Zhu Fan, and the fourth eldest son Zhu Di to join the army and command the army.
What Zhu Yuanzhang was more willing to believe was his sons and grandchildren.
No matter how good a brother is, he is still a foreign minister.
The foreign minister's contribution is too great, which will affect Zhu Yuanzhang's son.
Tang He understood this when he was in the 23rd year of Hongwu.
Li Shanchang was seventy-seven years old. Because he could not restrain his subordinates because of his old age, he once wanted to build a mansion and borrowed 300 guards from Tang He.
After Tang He returned, he thought about it and reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although this was not the biggest factor in Li Shanchang's death by Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He's report was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back.
Li Shanchang was sentenced to death.
This is something Tang He didn't expect at all.
He originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would at most punish him, but he didn't expect that it would directly lead to treason.
Together with Li Shanchang, more than 70 people including his wife, daughter, brothers and nephews were all unjustly executed.
This was at the beginning when Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted him with an important task and even compared it to Xiao He's existence.
To this day, Tang He still remembers what Zhu Yuanzhang said when Li Shanchang was granted the title of Duke Xuan when the Ming Dynasty was founded in the first year of Hongwu.
Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as in-laws.
Li Shanchang's eldest son Li Qi married Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter Princess Lin'an.
In this way, Li Qi was spared from death because of his status as consort, and his wife and children were exiled to Jiangpu.
After all, she is Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter, and those children are also grandchildren and granddaughters, so they can live a good life.
It can be seen that apart from family affection, Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless.
All threats were nipped in the cradle by Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, the current situation, in Tang He's opinion, has reversed.
Because Zhu Xiongying's appearance has brought different changes to the current situation.
After listening to Tang He's words, Zhu Yuanzhang quite agreed.
The current eldest grandson is very unfamiliar to the entire royal family.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the thoughts of the fourth child Zhu Di more thoroughly, and said after pondering:
"What the old man said makes sense. Our eldest grandson doesn't have many civil servants and generals around him now, so he lacks help. We have to find a way to arrange it."
When Tang He heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he realized that he had guessed correctly, so he continued: "I remember that Duke Liang has a close relationship with His Highness Changsun. Your Majesty may be able to recall Duke Liang back and let him have some contact with you."
Fan."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and did not answer immediately.
As for Liang Guogong Lan Yu, it is actually now on Zhu Yuanzhang's must-kill list.
Even after meeting Zhu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to kill Lan Yu did not stop.
Probably because Lan Yu was too arrogant and indulgent. If the prince Zhu Biao could suppress her, her grandson Zhu Yunwen would definitely not be able to suppress her.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the eldest grandson Zhu Ying might not be able to suppress him either.
But after listening to Tang He's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts changed.
The biggest difference between Zhu Ying and Zhu Yunwen is that Zhu Yunwen has always lived in the palace, and because of his Confucian education, he naturally received the support of civil servants.
So Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to weaken the generals so that his grandson Zhu Yunwen would not be able to suppress him.
But Zhu Ying's situation, as can be seen from Ru Yun's side, does not have a strong desire to support his eldest grandson.
His silent attitude expressed his choice.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to conquer the world because he had a very thorough control over people's hearts.
The shortcomings of Liang Guogong Sapphire are obvious, but it also has its own advantages.
Like most people, Lan Yu is very loyal. If Lan Yu recognizes Zhu Ying, it will be Zhu Ying's greatest strength.
Lan Yu is currently the leader of the Huaixi military general group, so Zhu Ying is not afraid of running out of soldiers.
Although there is no current saying that political power comes from the barrel of a gun, Zhu Yuanzhang also meant the same thing.
No matter how noisy the civil servants are, they cannot cause trouble to the generals.
Besides, Da Sun's temperament is not that of a weak person who can be bullied.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It seems that we have to call Duke Liang back to see if he recognizes this nephew."
After Tang He heard this, he immediately understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.
If Lan Yu doesn't recognize her nephew, she may be beheaded.
After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he already had concerns about Zhu Ying's arrangement.
Then he said no more, smiled, raised his glass, and said, "We are very happy today. Come here, old man, let's go one by one."
Tang He picked up the wine glass with trembling hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
