Watching high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and watching them collapse.
Zhu Yunwen's building has not yet been raised from the ground, only a foundation has been laid, but due to various reasons, it has been shelved indefinitely.
Now, Zhan Hui's words can be said to have shattered the foundation that Zhu Yunwen had worked so hard to lay.
The title of king, the vassal status, and the stay away from the Forbidden City in Yingtian were considered as a complete end to Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no objections to this. As long as the national destiny could be transferred more smoothly, he would like these ministers to put forward 800 opinions a day.
It's a pity that these ministers are timid and obviously cherish their lives. Just one cabinet department has made them fight for an unknown amount of time.
Now after listening to Zhan Hui's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, let's make Zhu Yunxi the King of Wu and Zhu Yunwen the King of Huai!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Morning next day.
The ministers looked at the Crown Princess Xu Miaoyun standing next to Zhu Yuanzhang, and felt an inexplicable suddenness in their hearts.
According to common sense, the princess does not have to go to court. If she appears today, there must be something important.
Not many people knew the inside story. The old god was there at this moment. After waiting for the officials to stand still, Zhan Hui took a few steps forward and stood in front of the palace.
Later, Zhu Gaochi walked in from outside the palace with a steady gait and a kind expression. After standing still, Zhan Hui immediately read out the imperial edict:
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said: Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world and ruled the sea, and they must establish Yuan Chu to consolidate the foundation of the country and ensure that the ancestral temple continues to be evergreen for thousands of years. I have God's blessing on me, and the spirit of my ancestors will establish the Ming Dynasty for all generations. For the foundation of the country, I am always worried that I will not be able to govern the people. I work hard and sleep hard at night, fearing that I will be a liability to all the people in heaven. My grandson, Zhu Gaochi, has an extraordinary appearance, a beautiful natural talent, a dignified and calm mind, and a clear sense of words and deeds. I hereby obey the emperor's loving orders. , carry out the ceremony, obey the public opinion, and sincerely tell the world, the ancestral temple and the state, to establish him as the emperor's grandson, to strengthen the rule of ten thousand years, and to spread the heart of the four seas. It will be spread all over the sea, and the salty envoys will hear about it!"
After the imperial edict was read out, Zhu Gaochi knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "My grandson accepted the edict and thanked him."
Immediately, the ministers knelt down and worshiped with surprise: "I congratulate Your Majesty, the foundation of the country has been established, the Ming Dynasty will last for thousands of generations, and the foundation will last forever."
"Everyone get up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ministers and was in a good mood.
Just after Zhu Gaochi was appointed as the crown prince, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly felt that more than 10% of the national destiny in his body had been transferred to him. At present, there was still about 55% of the national destiny in his body.
People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and these unpalatable courtiers also become much cuter at this moment.
"It seems that the day of cultivating Taoism is not far away. If we guide Gao Chi to make some changes, we can be relieved of this heavy burden early and go free and happy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought happily, and his expression was filled with joy for a moment.
…
"Old monk, listen, are there magpies chirping outside?"
Zhu Di pointed to the old tree outside the tea stall and looked carefully. He didn't see any birds. He wondered if he had heard wrong, so he asked Dao Yan.
"I'm afraid the Taoist priest is tired from day and night and has hallucinations. Where can the magpie come from at this time?"
Dao Yan took a sip of tea, looked at Zhu Di who was sitting on the bench with Da Ma Jin Dao, and still advised: "Taoist Master looks like someone from outside the country."
"I don't know why this morning, but my left eyelid keeps twitching. Could it be that I'm going to get rich? When I was a child, I often heard old people mention that the left eye twitches to make money, and the right eye twitches to bring disaster. It seems that this trip will definitely yield something. ."
Dao Yan shook his head helplessly and said: "Taoist Master, I'm afraid he's thinking too much. This is just self-deception. If you can understand the theory of fortune with a twitch of your eyelids, then what use does Yuan Gong have? Besides, , Taoist priest is rich, so there is no need for wealth, you are the God of Wealth."
"Hey, I like to hear the old monk talk today. It's rare that you are so sweet."
Zhu Di grinned, took a sip of tea, wiped his water-soaked hands on the Taoist robe casually, and said: "This time the old man asked me to come out, I'm afraid it's not just to find out the cause of the second brother's death."
"Oh, the Taoist Master can come and listen, and I can also give you some advice."
Dao Yan glanced around. The tea stall was located in a remote place, and not many people were passing by. Apart from the deaf old tea farmer, there was only an old yellow dog around.
In addition, the two of them didn't speak loudly. Once the wind covered up the sound, they couldn't really hear it from a meter away, so there was no need to worry about leaking the secret.
Zhu Di leaned a little closer and said: "My eldest brother came here years ago. In addition to inspecting the customs and customs of Xi'an, I also wanted to see if my second brother had done anything illegal. It's just that my eldest brother was kind-hearted and went back to cover it up." , This allowed the second brother to return to Xi'an smoothly. Now I am here too. In addition to investigating the cause of the death of the second brother, I am afraid that the old man also has the idea of asking me to investigate the public sentiment. If the second brother goes too far, after this death I'm afraid my life will not be peaceful, old monk, if you really find out something outrageous and resentful, will the posthumous title of Second Brother be okay?"
"Gone?"
"What else could there be?"
Dao Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Does the Taoist think that the higher-ups really don't know?"
"The old man should know a lot, but after all, he doesn't have a heavenly eye, and there may be many hidden things that he doesn't know. Otherwise, why would the second brother come back so easily?"
Zhu Di thought for a moment and realized that even he in Peiping had heard about these things, let alone the father who controlled Jin Yiwei.
Therefore, Dad should be aware of many situations, but after all, the second brother's blood is in the blood of Lao Zhu's family, and Dad will not really kill his head.
When Dao Yan heard this, he frowned slightly and said: "The Taoist Master made this matter simple. Whether it was the demon rebellion in Huizhou or the mysterious murder of King Qin, there must be some kind of force hidden behind it. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"I have also thought about this matter, but it is included in the cause of the second brother's death. In addition, it is to investigate the public sentiment. I was not wrong."
Dao Yan was at a loss for words. It seemed feasible to follow Zhu Di's explanation, but it always felt a bit harsh. He said: "The Taoist priest has to distinguish priorities. The people are certainly suffering, but the peace of Qin is more important."
He almost didn't say that if King Qin hadn't acted recklessly here, the people of Shaanxi might not have gone to cause trouble. Obviously, King Zhu Ping of Qin had to shoulder the blame.
However, this is the clan after all. No matter how courageous Dao Yan is, he will not be so offensive. Moreover, since everyone is dead, the brothers will naturally be more affectionate. He does not want to make Zhu Di dislike him for no reason.
This time, he and Zhu Di traveled lightly in order to get a better understanding of the matter from the perspective of bystanders.
For this reason, Zhu Di even changed into a Taoist robe and became a fake Taoist priest.
As for the guards and honor guards, they were naturally left far behind and slowly headed towards Xi'an.
Relying on the ceremonial convoy and guards to attract the attention of the world, he and Zhu Di secretly sneaked into Xi'an and made insinuations to see if anyone could not hold back and jumped out.
If it really comes with a big fanfare, I'm afraid that at most it can only be a superficial investigation, and the hidden truth behind it will definitely be hidden.
The death of a prince is undoubtedly a violent earthquake that will affect the entire Shaanxi Province. In the face of such a huge crisis, the people involved in the matter will inevitably cover each other and strive for the lightest punishment.
If the punishment of killing the nine tribes could be changed to exile, that would be an improvement. Even with good luck, if you only kill one person's head but save the lives of the whole family, that would be considered a victory.
Therefore, both Zhu Di and Dao Yan knew that when they went to Xi'an to investigate the case, they were bound to encounter a lot of resistance, and there would be no shortage of overt and covert violations.
After all, all the people involved in the case are ready to sacrifice, and they will definitely make the most crazy efforts to continue the family bloodline.
It is really difficult to find out the truth!
