After Zhu Di returned to Peiping, Zhu Yunwen only ordered those people from Peking University to strengthen surveillance of Zhu Di.
At the same time, Zhu Yunwen was determined to restore ancient times, implemented the well-field system, and frequently changed official names, palace names, palace names, etc. to imitate "Zhou Rites", which only added to the confusion.
For this reason, Yang Xuan retorted more than once.
After all, the well-field system has long been unsuitable for the Ming Dynasty. This is completely reversing the course of history!
He argued with Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others in court, but he was not as professional as these people in talking nonsense.
Yang Xuan was so angry that he had no choice but to take action in front of the court and gave Huang Zicheng and others a beating.
Zhu Yunwen was furious and reprimanded Yang Xuan for having no monarch.
Yang Xuan scolded Zhu Yunwen for being too idealistic and unfit to be an emperor.
The two broke up unhappy.
Yang Xuan escaped from the court and stayed at home.
In April, Zhu Yunwen attacked the king of Hunan, Zhu Bai, on the charge of secretly printing treasure banknotes.
He, Huang Zicheng and others thought that this time would be as smooth as the previous ones, but they never expected that Zhu Bai's temper was too fierce.
After learning that the court sent people to arrest him, he gathered his wife and children, closed the palace door tightly, and burned himself to death.
This is the first vassal king to die since the vassal reduction.
Suddenly, all the other kings were in danger.
At this moment, in the capital, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru who were kneeling in front of them.
He asked angrily: "What I want you to discuss is his crime of printing treasure banknotes privately."
"Who asked you to force him to death?"
"who?"
King Xiang is dead, and Zhu Yunwen will inevitably be charged with killing his uncle.
"I am guilty!"
Several people fell to the ground and confessed.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is not responsible for the death of King Xiang."
"But he committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
At this time, Fang Xiaoru raised his hands and said.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Fang Xiaoru in disbelief:
"Sir, my uncle is dead!"
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, the dignity of the court is more important!" Fang Xiaoru said.
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yunwen took a few steps back, as if his energy and energy were drained out of him in an instant.
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng also agreed in unison at the same time.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the three people for a while, and finally agreed to this solution.
Do you want to say that Zhu Bai is guilty?
Of course he is not guilty.
If you want to impose a crime, there is no need to hesitate.
Since Yang Xuan perfected the Baochao system, the credibility of Baochao has remained strong throughout the Hongwu period.
How many treasure banknotes should be issued and how many treasure banknotes should be recycled every year are calculated by dedicated personnel and finally submitted to the emperor for review.
It can only be implemented after the emperor agrees.
In addition, anti-counterfeiting measures have also been greatly improved.
Zhu Bai is just a vassal king and cannot do this at all.
Now if we want to say who issues the most treasure banknotes, there is no doubt that it is Zhu Yunwen.
Under the instigation of Huang Zicheng and others, the number of treasure banknotes issued in the first few months of Jianwen alone exceeded the full-year plan.
It's not like Yang Xuan didn't say it before, but Zhu Yunwen promised well, and then he listened to Huang Zicheng and others.
So, do Huang Zicheng and the others really not understand the pros and cons involved?
In fact, this is not the case. Yang Xuan has already made it clear about the stakes involved.
Then why is it still over-delivered?
First, Huang Zicheng and others didn't take it to heart at all.
Second, this was proposed by Yang Xuan, so in order to oppose Yang Xuan, they could not let Zhu Yunwen follow Yang Xuan's suggestion.
For their own power and interests, they ignore the country and the people.
Otherwise, Yang Xuan would attack them in court?
…
The imperial court made a conclusion on the death of King Xiang.
It means committing suicide out of fear of crime.
And his posthumous title was set as "戾".
Yang Xuan got the news and broke into the palace as soon as possible.
and injured dozens of people.
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others did not escape either.
Staying in bed for several months is a must.
Yang Xuan's behavior also angered Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen issued an order to deprive Yang Xuan of all titles and salaries, retaining only the title of Prince Consort.
And Yang Xuan was not allowed to go out.
At this time, he had completely given up on Zhu Yunwen.
It's just that mud can't hold up the wall.
Even if Lao Zhu forced himself up, he would fall down sooner or later.
From that day on, Yang Xuan seemed to be in trouble, spending all day drinking at home to soothe his sorrows.
Little did they know, Yang Xuan had already ordered the secret guards to move.
…
Beiping.
Zhu Di also learned of the death of King Xiang.
My heart is filled with sorrow.
"The King of Violence forced my brother to death."
"To add such an evil posthumous title."
At this moment, Zhu Di also saw Zhu Yunwen's determination to reduce the vassal status.
This is no longer cutting down the vassal, but killing the vassal.
Leave no way for people to survive.
The initial wavering in Zhu Di's heart became firm at this moment.
This rebellion had to be made.
This is the only way to survive.
He thought of what Yang Xuan said to him when he left the capital.
"Zhu Yunwen is not suitable to be an emperor."
A few days later, Zhu Di received the news that Yang Xuan had been deposed as the Marquis of Changping, and he couldn't help but worry about him.
That night, Zhu Di received a secret letter.
The letter stated that Ge Cheng, the chief minister of Prince Yan's palace, had been instigated by Zhu Yunwen to rebel.
Zhu Di didn't know this information.
Before Zhu Di entered the capital, he sent Chief Shi Gecheng to the capital to meet with the emperor.
As soon as Ge Cheng entered the capital, Zhu Yunwen personally received him, put down the emperor's airs, and treated him with great courtesy.
Ge Cheng was moved in his heart, and as soon as he came up, he confessed everything he knew.
In this way, Ge Cheng became a nail planted by Zhu Yunwen in Prince Yan's Mansion.
Judging from this, Zhu Yunwen's brain is still good.
But every time I take a multiple-choice question, I miss the correct answer.
There is no one else with this ability.
After receiving the secret letter, Zhu Di immediately called Dao Yan to analyze it.
Secret room.
After Dao Yan read the secret letter, he turned to look at Zhu Di.
"Master, do you think what is said in the letter is true or false?"
"Your Highness, regardless of whether it is true or false, we have to guard against it."
"Now, the situation in Prince Yan's palace is critical. If Ge Cheng really betrays His Highness, then many of our previous affairs may be known to the court."
Dao Yan said.
"Then what do we do now?"
"You can't kill Ge Cheng directly, right?"
Zhu Di frowned.
"No, killing him may arouse the suspicion of the court, which will be detrimental to us."
"Keep Ge Cheng here, we can use his hand to deliver wrong information to the court."
"At the same time, you can also test whether he has betrayed you."
Dao Yan thought for a while and said.
"In this case, we will follow the master's plan." Zhu Di nodded.
Later, Zhu Di set up a game to test Ge Cheng.
The result of this trial also dispelled the last chance of luck in Zhu Di's heart.
Ge Cheng, indeed, rebelled.
Zhu Di wanted to kill this person directly, but thinking of Dao Yan's words, he forced himself to endure it.
However, he has decided that when the time comes, he will kill this person.
However, Zhu Di will face a headache next.
That means Lao Zhu’s death anniversary is coming soon.
As his biological son, he couldn't go.
But I was able to come back completely last time, but that’s not the case this time.
…
