Among the four sons of Emperor Chengwu of the Dafeng Dynasty, Xuanming and Xuancan were the most popular in the past. Speaking of the third son Xuanle, I am afraid that even Xuanzhu is not as famous. At least Xuanzhu was deliberately highlighted by Zhu Tianjiang.
Next, he gradually emerged. However, after the third prince Xuan Le took over as the Minister of Supervision, he managed the chaotic capital in order in just three days, which impressed all the ministers.
Not only the officials in the court, but also Zhu Tianjiang secretly admired him. If these things were thrown to the guy Xuanzhu, the fourth child, he would definitely get sick. In fact, Zhu Daguan also understood Xuanzhu when it came to selecting candidates for the throne.
Not as good as his third brother Xuan Le. But from a personal perspective, Xuan Le is not Zhu Tianjiang's choice. In Zhu Tianjiang's eyes, this boy is too shrewd. If he takes over the throne, then Zhu Tianjiang will
You need to use twice as much energy as Xuanzhu to deal with Xuanle.
In the temporary palace in Pengcheng, Emperor Chengwu looked at the express report and memorial from Xuan Le and others in the capital. Although it was said to be an express report, it was already the sixth day after the city was broken. The expression on Emperor Chengwu's face changed constantly.
Frowning, Wei Zhan still looked calm, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
"Wei Zhan, it's really not easy for this kid to fall from the sky. He only took the capital with less than a thousand battle losses. It's gratifying but even more terrifying." Emperor Cheng Wu said, putting down the first war report of the Ministry of War.
.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't sound like you are praising him." Wei Zhan glanced at Emperor Cheng Wu.
"Haha, praise? I really don't know how to praise him. From the founding of our country to the present, every battle has not been tragic and tragic with rivers of blood. But this kid Zhu Tianjiang has fought unexpectedly in several battles. If we say
One battle is luck, but every battle cannot be luck. Let me ask you, if a man like this leads an army against me, which general do you think can defeat him?" Emperor Cheng Wu frowned and looked at Wei Zhan.
Wei Zhan was silent for a moment and said silently, "Wen Ruhai from the north is definitely not good. When he defeated Zhou Yantian, Wen Ruhai was Zhu Tianjiang's deputy commander. This veteran admired Zhu Tianjiang. If he can deal with it,
Among those from Zhu Tianjiang, I think Guo Tianxin is the only one."
Emperor Chengwu slapped the table, "That's what I'm worried about. With the relationship between the Guo family and Zhu Tianjiang, if they join forces, I, Dafeng, will be invincible." Emperor Chengwu said and stood up, with his hands behind his back.
He walked a few steps silently.
"Your Majesty, I think you are too worried about Tianxiang. On the other hand, having such a famous general in Dafeng will be a deterrent to all countries in the world, which is not a bad thing. Besides, the Guo family is a sect.
Zhonglie, you have no second thoughts about me, Dafeng." Wei Zhan looked up at Emperor Cheng Wu and said.
"I still have great trust in Tianxin. Otherwise, I would not have let the old lady control the three armies this time. What I am worried about is not the present, but the future. As I am on the throne, I can still suppress this Tianxin.
Little monkey. But after a hundred years, I am afraid that no one among the princes can suppress him. Even if I don’t kill the two traitors Xuan Ming and Xuan Can, I will depose them as princes. The remaining Xuan Zhu Xuan Le,
They are no match for Zhu Tianjiang."
"Your Majesty, when you asked His Highness Xuan Le to take over as Supervisor of the Kingdom, are you planning to make Xuan Le the crown prince?" Wei Zhan asked doubtfully.
Emperor Chengwu shook his head, "I am also in a dilemma on this point and have never been sure. From the memorial just now, it can be seen that Xuan Le is very scheming and a good person in governing the country. But what worries me is that Xuan Le
Although he is shrewd, he is a little jealous of the virtuous. The merit chapter he wrote has a hint of jealousy in every word. Hum, my son actually wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, even his own father.
"
"Your Majesty, this does not suit your wishes." Wei Zhan said silently.
"Wei Zhan, this is not my original intention. When dealing with Zhu Tianjiang, I can suppress him at every turn, in order to polish off all the edges and corners of this kid and create a future pillar of Dafeng. But Xuan Le's approach,
I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate. Think about it, with Zhu Tianjiang's achievements, even I can't lift the murderous knife. If we really eradicate him, not to mention the people of Dafeng, even the ministers and workers in the court will be heartbroken. So,
Xuan Le is better off winning over Zhu Tianjiang's jealousy. He is not as good as Xuan Zhu in this regard. After this period of observation, I found that Xuan Zhu has become much calmer than before. The most important thing is that if Xuan Zhu takes over
As for my position, I believe that Zhu Tianjiang can still assist the dynasty. But in terms of running the government, Xuanzhu is far behind Xuanle, which makes me really embarrassed."
Wei Zhan nodded. He understood Emperor Chengwu's worries. The sudden rise of Zhu Tianjiang could be said to have changed the political structure of the Dafeng Dynasty. Emperor Chengwu suppressed him everywhere out of helplessness. Otherwise, with Zhu Tianjiang's contribution,
If the day of passing the throne is not reached, there will be no reward. Therefore, Emperor Chengwu always made things difficult for Zhu Tianjiang because he wanted to leave this opportunity of reward to future generations so that Zhu Tianjiang would be grateful to future generations. But the two
Each prince has his own advantages and disadvantages. From Xuan Le's memorial to Wei Zhan, we can also see that if Xuan Le takes over, he will only appoint obedient ones, and will never appoint those with higher intelligence than him. And if Xuan Zhu takes over, Emperor Cheng Wu will
Worried that the ministers would value the emperor more than the emperor, the capable ministers would take away the imperial power. It seems that it is not an easy task for the emperor to choose a good successor.
"Your Majesty, the two princes have disappeared and Feng set herself on fire. How do you think this should be handled?" Wei Zhan changed the subject.
"Old Madam Guo agreed to let the Feng and E clans go, and I can't go back on it. I immediately ordered Mu Qi to inform Xuan Le that the Feng and E clans will wait until I return to Beijing to try again. As for Xuan Ming and Xuan Can, they can only be arrested, not
kill!"
Emperor Chengwu looked bitter. No matter how much fault Xuan Ming and Xuan Can had, they were his biological flesh and blood after all. Emperor Cheng Wu was also afraid that Xuan Le would hold a grudge against the two brothers and directly silenced them during the search. So he did not go through the normal channels.
Instead of passing it on a fast horse, let the stick stick quickly deliver the message to Xuan Le.
Emperor Chengwu finished his instructions and approved several memorials in succession. That night, Emperor Chengwu announced that Wu Dayin, the governor of Pengcheng, had an audience. During this period, Emperor Chengwu was in Pengcheng, which was a godsend opportunity for Wu Dayin. Emperor Chengwu had not been deeply impressed by Wu Dayin before.
,Through this period of observation, Emperor Chengwu discovered that Wu Dayin was quite a talented person.
Emperor Chengwu praised Wu Dayin a few words. Not only did he award him an official title, but he also allowed Pengcheng to increase its garrison troops and horses for the first time, which could be expanded to 25,000 troops. According to the rules of the Dafeng Dynasty, the capital's garrison troops could not exceed the maximum number.
Ten thousand troops. Of course, the officials of the Ministry of Justice are not included. Or when Zhu Tianjiang went to Yu Jiaping to rescue him, he could only temporarily recruit civilians. By doing this, Emperor Cheng Wu was equivalent to setting up half a large camp in Pengcheng.
Invisibly, Pengcheng's status among the capitals of the world immediately stood out.
Emperor Chengwu held a banquet in the palace in honor of the ministers in Pengcheng, and prepared to drive back to the capital early the next morning. Although Pengcheng was not very far from the capital, it would still take eight or nine days. Emperor Chengwu did not dare to delay for too long.
Only when he is in charge of the capital can all the capitals in the world truly feel at ease.
In the capital, Zhu Daguan suddenly changed his identity and became the temporary Minister of the Ministry of Justice. According to the past rules, Zhu Daguan still went his own way and never went to the morning court. Xuanming's mansion had been cleared, and Zhu Tianjiang was not polite and took his brothers to live there.
Went in. Zhu Tianjiang handed over the management of the mansion to Hong Baichao. He didn't arrive for three days, and the whole mansion was like a theater troupe. Seeing the huge changes in the mansion, Zhu Daguan just wanted to cry without tears. The garden was changed into
The vegetable garden was planted, and the scenic pond was turned into a fish pond. The doors and windows were also covered with paper-cut New Year pictures. It was a prince's mansion, but Hong Baichao forced it to be transformed into a landlord's manor.
Zhu Tianjiang had no time to take care of this. The number of troops in the army changed a lot. Not only did the nine admirals take part, the Ministry of War also dispatched many people. The Security Procuratorate was given full responsibility to Zhu Yi. As for the Criminal Ministry, Zhu Tianjiang simply let him go.
Shen Baigong, the Inspector of the Ministry of Punishment, was in charge. Even though the Minister of Punishment rebelled and followed the Queen, Shen Baigong insisted on his position and did not follow the rebellion.
When he learned that Zhu Tianjiang had become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Shen Baigong was so excited that he couldn't sleep a wink all night. In his heart, Zhu Tianjiang was an invincible god. Not to mention, it was only because of this belief that Shen Baigong did not follow him.
The Queen's Rebellion. According to today's parlance, Shen Baigong was a die-hard fan of Zhu Tianjiang.
Zhu Tianjiang finished arranging military affairs and integrated the two major yamen, and then began to be busy with his own business. Zhu Tianjiang's "People's Commune" was destroyed by Xuan Ming and has been handed over to the Ministry of Works by Xuan Le.
But he had buried so much gold, silver and jewels in that place. If he was discovered, the people in the city would not be able to rob him. Zhu Tianjiang ordered Da Niu to lead a group of police officers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and officers from the Security Procuratorate, and without saying a word, he took the money from the Ministry of Works to the police.
The people were driven out of Zhu Mansion.
The dilapidated Zhu Mansion was mysteriously surrounded by straw mats, and Zhu Tianjiang led his people to start excavation work.
"Zhu Er, before Emperor Chengwu comes, quickly transfer these gold and silver. Inform Zhu San to divide these silver into various Zhuji Silver Buildings." Zhu Tianjiang looked at the carts of gold and silver that came out, and said
Zhu Er ordered.
"Sir, Pengcheng's secret report said that Emperor Cheng Wu has set up and returned to the capital. Do you think it's time for Zhu Si's troops to evacuate?" Zhu Er reminded Zhu Tianjiang that it was a big deal. If we don't evacuate the troops,
, it is estimated that it will be organized into other camps.
"You are right. Once our thousands of people are dispersed and organized into various armies, it will be difficult to gather them together. Inform Zhu Si to leave twenty brothers with more than 1,000 generals in the army, and all the others
Withdraw from the capital. There is a county town called Anyuan thirty miles north of the capital. Before Emperor Chengwu comes, I will use my power to appoint Zhu Si as the magistrate of Anyuan. Gather all our people there and let Zhu Si
We can expand the number at will. All the officials in the county will be replaced by our people. Ask Zhu Si to make a list, and then I will personally go to the Ministry of Personnel to find Pan Shangshu for approval."
Zhu Tianjiang was also cruel this time, and it was not a problem to let Emperor Chengwu suppress him all the time. According to the memory of his previous life, the leader with great achievements would be finished sooner or later. Therefore, he had to speed up the pace of building his own team.
The barracks control was still enforced in the capital, and no one was allowed to move around at will. King Jing personally dispatched the soldiers and horses of the Admiral's Office to search the city, but no traces of Xuan Ming and Obilong were found for ten days in a row. King Jing had no choice but to cancel the barracks control. The Ministry of Punishment
There were a large number of officials imprisoned in the prison, and cars and sedans were parked in front of Zhu Tianjiang's house every day, all trying to use their connections to get Zhu Tianjiang to show their favor.
Zhu Tianjiang, of course, closed the door to these people. Although he had the right to be punished lightly, he was very disgusted with Zhu Tianjiang, who was just a wallflower.
Zhu Daguan took the list compiled by Zhu Si and went directly to Pan Zigang, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Seeing that Zhu Tianjiang wanted to change an official in a county, Pan Zigang was a little bit dumbfounded. However, Zhu Tianjiang currently has all the power in the government, and Pan Zigang
Zigang did not dare to offend him. In this way, before Emperor Chengwu arrived, Zhu Si led a mighty army to Anyuan County to take office.
In the early morning of the 13th day after the capital was pacified, a fast horse broke into the capital. After a while, the officials who were attending the morning meeting gathered outside the imperial gate. No one expected that Emperor Cheng Wu's dragon was less than two meters away from the capital.
Ten miles away, it was already the sixth day after Emperor Chengwu received Xuanle's memorial. It seemed that Emperor Chengwu was in a hurry and arrived in the capital in less than seven days. Xuanle was wearing a python robe.
Wearing court uniforms, he led all the civil and military officials to the outside of the city gate.
After the officials from the Ministry of Revenue counted the number of people, they suddenly discovered that among the officials who greeted them, Zhu Tianliang was not the only one.
Xuan Le looked into the distance with a smile on his face. Zhu Tianjiang had never gone to the morning court since he took over as the Minister of Supervision. Xuan Le was angry in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything. Emperor Cheng Wu came early in the morning.
, just what he wanted. Xuan Le wanted to show his father that Zhu Tianjiang was so awesome that he didn't even welcome the emperor back to the capital.
