An unprecedented disaster, countless people died.
This is something that must be written down in the history books.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang be completely unaware of it during his lifetime? !
It sounds outrageous,
But when I think they have kept it secret for so long,
It seems really feasible.
Moreover, Ou Xueming's explicit words also gave Zhu Xiongying a chill.
What were the ancient people?
Just numbers.
The numbers recorded in the yellow book, the numbers in the tax book,
They are not flesh and blood,
Just a number that makes up a great dynasty.
Just like European famous scholars,
As long as the Jiangnan nobles are willing to bleed,
How many people died, how much taxes they paid,
As long as the local taxes sent to Beijing are correct,
No one notices how many people die.
Because they are just numbers. If there are no numbers, just add the numbers.
Only when human life is lost, do we need to make up for it.
Obviously, the lives of ordinary people do not count as lives.
The Jiangnan nobles seem to be bold and crazy, seeking death.
But in fact it is extremely stable.
They thought very well. His Majesty has not set foot in the south of the Yangtze River for seventeen years. Anyway, as long as your Majesty does not see these things with his own eyes, it will be fine.
How many years does your Majesty have left to live?
If you hide it for a few years, it will be over.
Zhu Xiongying closed his eyes, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
There is no fool who can fight till now.
In an instant, all the broken clues were solved!
Zhu Yunxi set up an ambush but did not achieve the desired effect. This was because Jiangnan was hit by a disaster and had no time to take care of it.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, my grandfather saw with his own eyes,
The Jiangnan area, which is supposed to be the most prosperous, is full of people dying of hunger and exchanging children for food. It is also thought that the gentry in Jiangnan have long been wiped out, and what is left is nothing more than small fish and shrimps.
But think about it, how is this possible?
Who doesn’t have a few Yuan Dynasty officials in his family?
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang only saw one side and thought it was the Yuan people who had done this.
But he didn't see the other side. There was a big mouse hidden in the granary!
Everything is pointing there now.
However, man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.
They counted Zhu Yuanzhang but not Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiongying opened his eyes,
Jiang Wei, who was beside him, immediately understood.
"Your Highness, I will follow you!"
Zhu Xiongying shook his head,
whispered,
"Press this matter down and send him to Chang Mansion for recuperation.
Find a way to explain to grandpa about Dengwengu.
If grandpa knew about it, he would be very angry.
Let’s wait until I get back to talk about everything.
I didn’t take many people with me, so I took Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi. "
Jiang Wei has no objection to His Highness's arrangements ahead.
after all,
Now, whether it is a royal guard or a secret guard, the highest priority is to obey His Highness's orders.
It was not difficult to hide this.
But Your Highness, if you go to Jiangnan, you will only take two people with you.
They are all literati...
It's a little too dangerous!
"Your Highness, would you like to..."
Zhu Xiongying shook his head firmly and said,
"don't want.
Whenever I need to take action, I do it myself! "
Zhu Xiongying's eyes flashed with cruelty as he continued,
"If we need to mobilize troops, I will directly mobilize Uncle Qi who is stationed on Sun Moon Island!"
Jiang Wei had nothing to say, so he helped Ou Xueming up first.
Heading towards Chang Mansion.
Zhu Xiongying gritted his teeth and walked back to the palace.
.......
Xianning Palace Lunch
Zhu Yuanzhang was working on his meal with his head down. Queen Ma looked at Zhu Xiongying from the side and said,
Even if Zhu Xiongying suppresses his emotions, he will inevitably let them out. How could he escape from Queen Ma's eyes?
After a meal.
Zhu Yuanzhang burped and looked at his eldest grandson,
"Grandson, have you eaten enough?"
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
"Grandpa, you are full!"
"Hahaha, just eat enough.
People are like iron rice and steel. Now is the time for you to grow, so you can't do it without eating more.
When your grandfather was your age, he couldn't afford a full meal for several days and would eat to death whenever he had the chance.
Hahahaha, remembering that time, we were really stupid!
but,
In the past two years, people's lives have been getting better and better, and our days should be gone forever. "
Zhu Xiongying shook his hand,
Forced a smile and said,
"Yes, Grandpa."
Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for fifteen years, and it was only in the past two years that he took a break.
Being able to do this is already the limit.
"Grandpa, my grandson wants to go to Jiangnan."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Zhu was furious again.
"What are you doing in that place in Jiangnan?! What's there to see?"
Before Zhu Xiongying could speak, Queen Ma picked up the chopsticks and hit Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.
scolded,
"How old are you! Are you still in shock?!
The child has not been out of the capital in five years. How about going for a walk in Jiangnan? !
Xiongying told me that it was about the salt factory over there, and it wasn't a big deal, so I just wanted to relax.
Just try harder and give me more batches for a few more days. What can I do? ! "
Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands,
He said aggrievedly,
"This is not a matter of criticizing the discount, we can criticize it too!
It’s the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson can go to such a far place in no time.
Aren’t we worried? "
Queen Ma's eyes widened,
said,
"What are you worried about?
When our children grow up, they are much more capable than we thought!
Let's just stop meddling blindly. "
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while,
Indeed, as my sister said, my eldest grandson has not left the capital for five years since he went north to the grassland.
It's really easy to become stupid if you hold it in like this all the time.
Moreover, Zhu Xiongying was born and grew up in the capital,
If you become emperor in the future, but have never walked through the land under your feet, you will not truly understand what the people on the land want.
Although Lao Zhu became an old otaku after he became emperor, when he was young, he couldn't wander around.
A pair of feet can basically walk all over Ming Dynasty.
"OK!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.
After hanging out with his eldest grandson for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly got up and left.
It's not that he wants to leave his eldest grandson, but after his eldest grandson leaves, the review of this article will have to return to its previous intensity.
Lao Zhu will have to go and approve the discounts immediately.
After watching Lao Zhu leave, Queen Ma looked deeply at Zhu Xiongying,
asked,
"Xiongying, something happened?"
Zhu Xiongying couldn't hide it from Queen Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a big boss, his two eyes are just two big holes, how can he compare with Queen Ma's delicate thoughts?
Zhu Xiongying nodded and said,
"Something serious has happened, and I have to go there in person."
Queen Ma's eyes flashed and she pulled Zhu Xiongying over.
No questions asked,
Just whispered,
"If you want to hide it from your grandpa, grandma will help you.
but,
Grandma wants you to remember,
No matter how big things happen to Ming Dynasty, they are not as big as your safety!
As long as you are here, the Ming Dynasty will be there!
If you can always remember this sentence, grandma will feel relieved! "
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Xiongying with eyes full of love,
What she said was not just what a grandma said to her grandson.
Zhu Xiongying is here, and the Ming Dynasty is here.
There is no exaggeration in this sentence.
If something unexpected happens to Zhu Xiongying now,
There will never be another person who can get Lao Zhu's heartfelt love, and there will never be another person who can suppress Wu Xun and King Sai at the same time.
