Zhu Qiyu nodded: "If we don't get rid of the Sun family, there will be endless disasters; but if we kill them simply and brutally, our children and grandchildren will be involved in the endless whirlpool of public opinion.
Therefore, in order for our descendants to live a comfortable life, we must not rush and let the Empress Dowager Sun and Emperor Gongrang die of natural causes.
And it needs to be very similar. Although everyone does not need to believe it, at least 70% to 80% of the people must agree with the conclusion of 'natural death'.
Then making certain choices in the history books will be enough to be recognized by future generations. "
Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Can the world accept it?"
Zhu Qiyu replied with extreme confidence: "Of course, human nature is like this. It is difficult to say that it is difficult to control the thoughts of people in the world, but it is also very simple to say that it is simple.
For example, Emperor Jianwen was burned alive by Taizong on the day the city was broken.
Da Zong insisted that there was a tunnel in the palace, and Emperor Jianwen ran away along the tunnel.
A few smart people won't believe it, but most people simply don't have the ability to make independent judgments.
As long as you dare to give them an explanation that seems to make sense, they will dare to believe it.
In the end, when Taizong launched his expedition to the West, he added a small rumor that he was looking for Jianwenjian overseas, and most people in the world believed it.
Slowly, Taizong's crime of regicide was erased, leaving only the crime of rebellion. Do you think it's magical or not? "
"Emperor Jianwen was really burned to death in the palace?"
"Of course, otherwise where else could he go. If there really is a secret way, then the question is, why didn't Emperor Jianwen take his mother with him when he escaped?
Okay, mother is useless, just leave her alone, that’s fine.
Then why didn't he bring his woman with him?
Well, women are useless, just throw them away.
Then the question comes, since there is a secret way, why doesn't he bring his son with him?
The secret passage is so wide that even adults can pass through it. What's wrong with taking my son with me?
And just run, the Yan army has already entered Nanjing, Jianwen is not in a hurry to explore the secret passage, he is still in the mood to kill Xu Zengshou with his own hands.
No matter how I look at it, I don't think Jianwen intends to delve into the secret passage. "
Lin Xiangyu smiled and shook her head: "What my husband said is that a grown man would never abandon a woman and run away."
Zhu Qiyu continued to explain: "So, we must first force the Sun family to rebel, and then take the opportunity to stab the Sun family twice and abolish her title of Queen Mother and Queen Xuanzong.
In the end, I was magnanimous and only killed the entire Sun family, pardoned Sun's death penalty, and imprisoned her in Yinghua Palace to suffer slowly.
As for Emperor Gongrang, he can be imprisoned in Nangong until he is about to die in a fight among the women in the backyard.
Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen will ask him to abdicate and go to the south to become a prince.
We must treat our disciples with utmost kindness and set an example for the world to see.
That's all. In short, don't let Sun and my eldest brother die too close. Otherwise, almost all of that family will die in a short period of time, and even fools will know what is going on. "
Lin Xiangyu nodded: "It is better for my husband to have foresight, so that in the future our son will take over the world without so many interferences, and he can concentrate on handling military and political affairs as soon as he ascends the throne."
"Yes, this is called loving children, and it's a long-term plan. The fish is roasted, let's eat first. Why haven't Qianxue and the others come to us yet?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu began to cover her mouth and snicker.
"What the hell are you doing again?"
Lin Xiangyu replied with a smile: "King Su donated five hundred sheep to my husband. He said they were produced in the Huamachi City area and were called Tan sheep.
According to them, the mutton meat is delicious and has no fishy smell.
Qianxue and the others didn't believe it, how could the mutton not smell fishy, so the three little girls went to the kitchen to supervise the work in person. "
"Oh, I understand, that one is called Yanchi Beach Sheep. That place in Ningxia is the intersection of inland farming and grassland nomadism. The Yellow River water has alluvialized on that land to form a unique river beach.
The riverbank contains a lot of salt, and many drought-tolerant plants such as licorice and ephedra grow there.
It is equivalent to Tan sheep growing up eating various Chinese medicinal herbs on the salt flats, so the mutton has a large number of rich flavor substances, forming high-quality mutton with a unique taste and no fishy smell. "
Lin Xiangyu praised with admiration: "How come you know so much, husband?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Hey, there is no way. If you don't know enough when you are an emperor, you will be played to death very quickly.
But King Su is interested. We can't eat other people's sheep in vain. We have to give him some gifts in return. "
"My husband said, what gift is appropriate to give to Prince Su?"
"Hey, give Ganzhou Prince Su's Mansion back to him."
When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she was extremely surprised: "Ah? Return Ganzhou Prince Su's Mansion to him? Then where does Prince Su live now?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "He now lives in Prince Su's Mansion in Lan County. This kind of old thing, sesame seeds and millet, has become old.
To put it simply, during the Jianwen Dynasty, Su Fan was moved from Ganzhou to Lan County.
Prince Su was one of the poorest and most miserable princes in the Ming Dynasty. He was only a thousand years old and was extremely unpopular with the emperors of Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong and Zhengtong.
King Su once asked Xuanzong to increase his annual salary to 1,500 dan, but he was not only rejected mercilessly, but also ridiculed by Xuanzong.
What is the funniest thing is that when our eldest brother respectfully surrendered to the emperor and granted the title of county prince to the eldest son of King Su's concubine, the annual salary was set at two thousand dan. As a result, a strange thing happened: in name, the son of the county prince had twice as much salary as the prince.
By the time of the Zhengtong Dynasty, at least three groups of local civil and military officials had reported that they wanted to demolish Prince Su's Mansion in Ganzhou and use it for other purposes.
The most disgusting thing is that there are officials who want to transform Ganzhou Prince Su's Mansion into Bell and Drum Towers to make the border more spectacular.
When King Su found out, he was furious to death.
Now that the day has changed, King Su must have heard that my governing style is completely different from that of the previous emperor, so he came to try his luck. "
Lin Xiangyu nodded repeatedly: "I see, then King Su is really pitiful. Do you plan to treat him well?"
"Well, you must treat him kindly. King Su is a rare virtuous king. You think the court has been mean to him so many times that I can't even finish talking to you for half an hour.
But after the earthen fort, he also donated high-quality war horses and recruited troops to serve the king. He was one of the most active and dedicated princes.
Their mentality is: The imperial court has abused me thousands of times, but I treat the imperial court like my first love.
It's so hard to find such a good person, but the court still doesn't know how to cherish it.
The eldest brother, Gong Rang, has already summoned the vassal princes to Beijing. When the time comes, I will have a face-to-face talk with King Su. If King Su’s attitude is not bad, I plan to return the two guards of Ganzhou to him.
The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty cannot be raised like pigs. Su vassal should be used to guard the Hexi Corridor for the imperial court.
Just relying on the civil and military officials sent by the imperial court, the operation of the Hexi Corridor is nothing. At one point, even Yijinai was lost, and the only thing left was to give the Hexi Corridor directly to the Mongols. "
"Two guards from Ganzhou?"
"Yes, King Su originally had three guards in Ganzhou, but the court later cut off two of them. The remaining guards in Ganzhou were also removed by the court for most of the soldiers.
Gansu and Ningxia are rich in elite soldiers. When Prince Su's Mansion was at its peak, one of their guards could fight better than our entire Yingzhou Guard. "
"So powerful, your husband is not afraid of King Su's rebellion?"
Zhu Qiyu teased angrily: "What kind of rebellion? Who is stupid enough to rebel in Gansu? What resources can you rely on to support a hundred thousand elite soldiers there? Isn't it interesting to have two to thirty thousand people rebel?"
Taizong was so frightened by himself that everyone looked like he was about to rebel.
Then Taizong's cowardly descendants were frightened, and everyone thought they wanted to rebel.
Forget it, let's invite Qianxue and the others to come over for dinner. "
Lin Xiangyu shook her head: "Husband, please stop barking. Qianxue and the others are killing chickens and sheep. We want to treat your junior high school students to dinner today at noon."
"Ah? I'm hurting them in vain. If you don't give me something good to eat first, what are you doing to my civil servants?
Hum, let's have grilled fish first, and then have mutton with Qianxue and the others for dinner. "
"Men, don't be sentimental. Qianxue and the others are going to entertain the generals of the Yingzhou Guards at a banquet tonight. There are many high-ranking officials who were naturalized from Mongolia in our Yingzhou Guards.
So Qianxue said she wanted to have a bonfire dinner, roasting a whole lamb and dancing at the same time. "
Zhu Qiyu put his hand on his forehead and said, "Okay, I can understand why they are hosting a banquet for military generals, but what is the purpose of banqueting civil servants?"
