Chapter 101 The Prince’s Heart Disease
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Things have their own priorities. It's not like I'm not preparing for the Northern Expedition. They're just a fish swimming under a cauldron. They will be captured sooner or later. There's no need to worry. It's just that the Dingkou of Goryeo and the gold and silver of Japan are what the imperial court needs." . When you have the opportunity, it might be a good idea to strike first."
When Feng Sheng heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he couldn't understand it.
In Feng Sheng's opinion, there are too many problems in this statement.
Do you have the Dingkou of Goryeo and the gold and silver of Japan? how many. Feng Sheng didn't know. But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang always put righteousness first when raising troops. Never before has it been so blatantly declared that the war is fought for the sake of a strong population.
This is completely inconsistent with Zhu Yuanzhang in Feng Sheng's mind.
It's just that Feng Sheng never dared to say Zhu Yuanzhang's fault. He could only go on and said, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. However, I have already discovered the approximate location of the royal court. It is only about six or seven hundred miles from Changchun Fort. It can be determined with one strike. No. However, Liaodong has sufficient troops to support the two battlefields. And the longer we wait, the greater the chance that the army will recover. I think this is an opportunity that must not be missed before it comes back. And Goryeo has been secured, and Japan is an island country with many mountains and a narrow territory. Trying to resolve it hastily will lead to problems. It is better to leave a large general in Japan and plan for it slowly. It will not be difficult to capture this place in a few years."
"How about a two-pronged approach."
When Feng Sheng said this, his eyes turned slightly and looked at the prince.
The prince received Feng Sheng's signal and said: "Father, I think what Song Guogong said makes sense. Moreover, some of the second, third and fourth brothers can't wait. One of them must be settled first. So that they can be safe." Heart."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had many heirs. But it was no one else who worried the prince the most. It is Qin, Jin, Yan, Qi, the four major vassals. And the prince said he couldn't wait any longer.
In fact, it is also a pun.
The prince knew all the news about King Yan.
King Yan really wanted to make great achievements. If something had to happen, it would be better to do it early. Let him be prepared. But other vassal kings were not so willing. Although some things are just based on rumors, they may not be without reason. If it were a historical prince, there would be uncertain news about this. You definitely won't believe it.
However, after knowing about Jing Nan, the prince was very sensitive on these matters. He would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist.
In fact, if the princes are sent abroad, can they threaten the throne of the prince's line? The prince himself was not too sure. But he already feels that this is the best way within the current framework.
There is no better son than a father.
The prince is sensitive about Jing Nan. And Zhu Yuanzhang is not far behind. He is also very sensitive to the fratricide between his sons and brothers. Hearing what the prince said, he immediately understood the underlying meaning.
The prince was worried about his four older brothers.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
He missed the old prince who took great care of his younger brother and valued family ties. At least the previous prince, even if he had troubles in his heart, would maintain the dignity of the court and the harmony between the emperor and his grandson. We will only deal with it privately and will never bring it to the table.
Now the prince seems not to care about this anymore.
Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that when he passed the throne to the prince, he did not have to worry about the lives of his other sons. But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became uncertain.
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought: "Come on, it can be regarded as my mistake. Some problems must be solved sooner or later. Why not solve them now." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In this case, I am correct about this matter. However, Feng Win."
Feng Sheng immediately said: "I'm here."
"I will not control the war, you can handle it yourself. I can trust you. But what I want is not just a Yuan Dynasty emperor. I want the Northeast to be included in the Ming Dynasty. This is the purpose of talent. Don't put the cart before the horse." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.
Feng Sheng said, "I understand."
Feng Sheng thought to himself: "He Xi is indeed His Majesty's confidant. This
The point of view on one thing is the same. It seems like we need to change our approach. "But no matter what, as long as we can fight, that's enough.
"Father, I have a favor to ask of you." The prince said suddenly.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What's the matter?"
The prince said: "My son wants to go to Peiping to supervise the war."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned immediately after hearing what the prince said. He said: "The prince does not discipline his troops. This has been the case since ancient times. The court cannot do without you, so don't think so."
The prince said: "Father, my son feels that as the son of my father, if he doesn't know how to lead an army, how can he be the master of the world?"
Feng Sheng thought to himself: "You can't see me. You can't see me. You can't see me." Because the emperor and the prince and his son spoke too loudly. Military power is too sensitive. Even between father and son. The prince went north to supervise the army, which was the most elite field army of the Ming Dynasty. Under this situation, there are too many things that can be done.
Feng Sheng didn't want to hear or know at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have heard Feng Sheng's thoughts and said: "Feng Sheng, you go down and prepare first. There are many things going on in the Northern Expedition, the Ministry of War, and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. You can go and make a trip."
Feng Sheng naturally knew that this was to avoid him. Of course, this is also true. The imperial court is a very large department. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, many procedures still had to be completed. Feng Sheng immediately said: "Yes, I will go right away."
Then he left in a hurry.
After Feng Sheng left. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the palace maid and eunuch serving here immediately went down.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prince and said, "Tell me. What do you want to do?"
The prince said: "My son, I don't want to do anything. I just feel that the prince does not lead the army. Of course it is the custom, but how Li Jiancheng died is also worrying to the child."
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and said, "Do you think I am Li Yuan?"
The prince immediately knelt down and said, "My child doesn't dare. It's just that when I dreamed about it at midnight, the word 'Jingnan' made me restless." "
Zhu Yuanzhang lost his temper for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang still valued this son the most. Regarding the outcome of Jingnan, I was also furious at the beginning. But after all, his identity is different from that of the prince. King Yan is his son after all. But in the prince's case, the son and the younger brother are completely different.
Zhu Yuanzhang regretted one thing very much, and that was letting the prince know about the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, if the prince didn't know that history was going this way. He has arranged to suppress the various vassal kings and distribute them. It will be difficult for anyone to threaten the prince in the future. And the prince didn't really want to do anything to his brother. Maybe the brothers can get along with each other. But after the prince finds out, he is likely to go overboard.
Now, just as Zhu Yuanzhang's guess has come true.
The prince was too deeply troubled by this matter.
When the prince mentioned Li Jiancheng, he hinted that he was worried about becoming Li Jiancheng's second best. Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was not Li Yuan, but that he was confident that he could arrange everything and that such a situation would not occur. But the prince admitted his mistake in name. In fact, I don't believe Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements at all.
But Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he made a mistake once, how could he make it a second time?
But this reason could not convince the prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time and said, "How do you want to feel at ease?"
The prince said: "My son, I don't know. However, the policy of creating a vassal state is already a national policy of the imperial court. It must be implemented to the end. My son, I have no other ideas."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then you still have to go to Peking. Your body is still in Nanjing. It is better not to go anywhere. Take good care of your body, which is better than anything else."
This sentence made the prince's heart skip a beat.
This is something the prince has never wanted to think about.
That's how long he has left to live. Hongwu's twenty-fifth year, only a few years have passed since then. Although these days, there has been no problem when people ask for their pulse. Dai Yuanli is not a quack. Logically speaking, he can be trusted. After all, the prince has been paying attention to his health these days.
But life span was also a worry for him. Regarding King Yan's worries, the prince still had ways to deal with it. But for this kind of destiny, the prince had no choice at all.
