Do the people of Peiping deserve what they deserve?
What kind of truth is this?
What kind of bullshit world is this?
Su Yang's stern question resounded in his mind, causing Zhu Di to lose consciousness for a moment.
Ever since he decided to start a rebellion, he, Zhu Di, had rarely been as uneasy as he was now despite the many storms and waves he encountered.
Because he had no choice, and the court repeatedly forced him, he had no choice but to rebel!
But now facing Su Yang's questioning, Zhu Di's firm belief was shaken.
They rebelled and started a war. As a result, countless civilians and soldiers were killed and injured, and the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil!
Is it really right for Zhu Di to do this?
Zhu Di raised his head, as if he wanted to see through time and years to see if his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was staring at him from the sky.
Zhu Di has admired his father Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, and even studied and fought hard to become a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang. Just like Zhu Gaoxu admired him, Zhu Di suffered all kinds of hardships just to get the approval of his heroic father.
But now, a picture emerged in Zhu Di's mind. His father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was standing in front of him, kneeling on the ground and being pointed at and scolded.
"Treason!"
"You traitor!"
"Why do you have to be the emperor?"
"Isn't the power and status we give you enough?"
"Why do you have to raise an army to rebel and shake the country of our old Zhu family?"
"No matter what reasons you have, if you, Zhu Di, dare to rebel, you are the eternal thief!"
"Eternally difficult... thief!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words always echoed in his mind, like a bolt from the blue, making it impossible for Zhu Di to recover for a long time.
He could only feel the blood boiling in his chest, his throat was fishy and sweet, and he almost vomited blood.
Zhu Di really wanted to argue with his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, who existed in his mind, but when the words came to his lips, there was only silence.
How innocent are the people of Peiping?
How innocent are the soldiers of Peiping?
How innocent are the people in the world?
Why did Zhu Di do this?
For a time, Zhu Di fell into deep self-doubt.
However, Su Yang did not give up, and still shouted in a stern tone.
"Why?"
"Just because the old Zhu family is a noble person?"
"Can Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen not treat the common people as human beings, so they can first suffer the people of Peiping?"
"The great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and restored China. Even he loved the people like his own son throughout his life and would never allow any powerful officials to oppress the common people. Why should he, Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen?"
Su Yang's eyes almost burst out with fire, and his furious look scared Zhu Wanqiu to a loss.
Fortunately, Su Yang quickly calmed down his anger and reached out to hold the little girl's hand to express comfort.
Zhu Di looked at Su Yang sadly and opened his mouth, but was still speechless.
After a long silence, he stood up and left. Zhu Gaoxu was so surprised that he quickly followed.
However, when they opened the door of the small courtyard, they discovered that Bao Zhao and Ye Xixian had not gone far.
The reason why Bao Zhao got up and left was because he felt that he had no face to face Su Yang.
At first, the chief minister wanted to accept Su Yang as his disciple and train him to become a pillar of the imperial court.
But after listening to Su Yang's words, Bao Zhao was shocked to find that he could no longer teach the child anything.
What's more, what Su Yang said is true. Today's court is no longer the same court as before.
The nobles and nobles of Jiangnan are fighting for power and profit, and the party is united and opposed, and excludes dissidents!
His Majesty the new emperor loves fame, is indecisive, and has no opinion!
Su Yang's unwillingness to serve as an official may be the right choice!
But Bao Zhao was still unwilling to give up. He wanted to hear what King Yan Zhu Di would talk to Su Yang, so he chose to listen to Qiang Gen regardless of his face.
However, when he heard what happened later, he became even more embarrassed to face Su Yang.
Why?
Why should we suffer the common people first?
Emperor Taizu Gao loved the people like his own children throughout his life. Did he teach you today that Huang nobles have to suffer for the common people?
In order to reduce the vassal state and seize power, they ignored the people of Peiping!
Has His Majesty the Emperor really done nothing wrong?
Bao Zhao looked at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also looked at Bao Zhao.
Both sides were silent for a while, and finally left.
After returning to the inn, a guard sent a secret message.
This was Zhu Yunwen's reply to Bao Zhao, which stemmed from what Bao Zhao had previously reported about the lack of food in Peiping.
Bao Zhao opened the secret message in silence. After a moment, his face turned red and he even dropped the teacup to the ground.
Ye Xixian was shocked when he saw this. This was the first time he had seen Da Sikou so angry.
"Da Sikou, this is..."
"Ha, I lost!" Bao Zhao smiled bitterly and slumped on the chair in despair.
He never thought that he would actually lose the bet he made with Su Yang!
He never thought that the new emperor Zhu Yunwen, who seemed to be kind and loving to the people, would actually continue to blockade Beiping Mansion and ignore the people of Beiping Mansion as Su Yang said!
To cut down the vassal vassal, in order to cut off the King of Yan Zhu Di, should the people freeze to death and starve to death?
Why?
Is this what Emperor Taizu Gao taught you?
At this moment, Bao Zhao was extremely disappointed with Zhu Yunwen, it could even be said that he was heartbroken!
When Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao passed away suddenly, Emperor Taizu Gao appointed Zhu Yunwen as his grandson. He took him with him and taught him personally how to handle government affairs and how to govern the world!
Even regarding the reduction of vassal status, Emperor Taizu Gao once told his grandson Zhu Yunwen.
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once said to Zhu Yunwen: "I entrust the great responsibility of resisting the barbarians to the kings, so that the border will not be chaotic and you will have peace."
Zhu Yunwen asked, "If the barbarians are not stable, let the kings defend themselves. But if the kings are not safe, who will resist?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and asked Zhu Yunwen his opinion. He believed that they should "be virtuous and control them with etiquette. If they can't do it, they should cut down their land. If they can't, they should change their people. If they don't do it, they should use troops to attack them." Zhu Yuanzhang also thought that he The views are truly irreplaceable.
But what about now?
What does it mean to “endure it with virtue” and what does it mean to “control it with etiquette”?
It's all empty talk!
As soon as he came to the throne, he couldn't wait to cut down the vassal vassal, and he didn't care about the people of Beiping Prefecture for this reason!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are really wrong this time!
After Bao Zhao vented his anger, he immediately sat down and wrote the memorial quickly.
He wanted to report the three lines of defense mentioned by Su Yang to the new emperor Zhu Yunwen, and ask for a postponement of the reduction of the vassal!
This is the first time Baozhao has taken a clear-cut stand against the reduction of vassalage!
He did not want to see the nobles of Jiangnan using the reduction of vassal status as a tool to seize power, and he did not want to see the imperial court disregarding the people of Beiping Prefecture because of the reduction of vassalage!
At the same time, the Yan Palace.
After Zhu Di came back, he locked himself in the study room and stayed there all night.
Such an abnormal behavior immediately caused everyone to panic.
Zhu Gaochi went to ask for an audience in person but was unsuccessful. In desperation, he could only invite monk Dao Yan.
Because of Monk Daoyan's unparalleled strategy, he had a transcendent status in Prince Yan's palace and was one of the few people respected by Zhu Di.
Dao Yan ordered someone to forcefully open the study room. When he entered, he frowned immediately.
I saw wine jars everywhere in the study, and a pungent smell of alcohol filled the entire study.
And the Yan King Zhu Di, who had been so wise and powerful before, was now slumped on the ground with his eyes blank, mechanically pouring wine into his mouth.
"My lord, what happened?"
Hearing Dao Yan's voice, Zhu Di turned to look at him and smiled bitterly.
"Monk, I saw my father. He called me an eternal... thief!"
Monk Daoyan: "???"
