Chapter 175 Duke Mu Ying of Guizhou
The reason why Mu Ying couldn't believe it was because he knew how much effort and effort Zhu Yuanzhang put into creating the Ming Dynasty system. He was the one who previously supported the Ming Law and fully implemented it. Now it is about to be completely overthrown.
This would not surprise Mu Ying.
Zhu Yuanzhang twenty years later has become the opposite of Zhu Yuanzhang twenty years ago?
Kill yourself?
How to make people believe.
Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang was promoting the Ming Law, promoting the township covenant, and promoting the grain chief system. No matter how hard he worked on a system, the efforts he made back then have become obstacles today.
From this point of view, what Liu Sanwu said is correct, and it will make the people of the world at a loss what to do.
In particular, the systems promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang are said to be perfect, which is naturally false. But it works fine, but still. People have adapted. When it comes to reform at this time, the resistance is naturally much greater than when these systems were full of drawbacks.
Why, the one who can cure the disease is the doctor.
Because when a person has just a minor problem, he will never pay attention to it, nor will he want to cooperate with the treatment. He will always feel that it is alarmist.
The situation is the same today.
This can be regarded as the greatness of Zhu Yuanzhang. He can constantly update his knowledge system, continue to learn, and continue to make progress. He even has the courage and courage to break through and start over.
Thunder rolled by.
Mu Ying said calmly, "Your Highness, what do you need from me?"
The prince was moved and said: "Brother------"
The two generals in the prince's army are Mu Ying and Lan Yu. But when it comes down to it, what the prince values most is Muying. Instead of sapphire. He Xi knew about Lan Yu's virtue, Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, how could the prince not know about it?
But Muying is different.
Although the two are not real brothers, their relationship is better than that of real brothers.
The prince has followed Mu Ying since he was a child. And Mu Ying also clearly remembered that when the prince was just born and still in his infancy, Queen Ma told him to protect his younger brother. Muying agreed at that time.
Over the years, it has become a habit.
Regardless of whether it was back then, Mu Ying, who was an orphan, was adopted by Queen Ma and received the best education at the time, training him to become an outstanding general. Without Queen Ma, Mu Ying would be nothing more than an unknown child corpse who died in troubled times. It’s still the same relationship that brothers have had for so many years.
Muying is willing to die for the prince.
Although Mu Ying was also grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang, his feelings for Zhu Yuanzhang were inferior to Queen Ma's. Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a cold man, although Mu Ying is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son. But Zhu Yuanzhang had dozens of adopted sons, more than a dozen of whom were named. There are only two or three alive today.
The only person above the political arena is Mu Ying.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang's family was weak and he had no one around him, he initially adopted these adopted sons and sent them out to serve as military supervisors. Instead, he controls the army, but in troubled times, there are plots, betrayals, intrigues, and fighting on the battlefield. Zhu Yuanzhang suffered several major failures in conquering the world, which not only cost his generals, but also his adopted son.
How could Mu Ying not know the cruelty involved?
He felt that he had repaid Zhu Yuanzhang enough, but he had not repaid Queen Ma enough. The survival of the prince's status is not only a matter for the prince, but also related to Queen Ma's status in the palace and her posthumous reputation. If he doesn't care.
Mu Ying said: "Your Highness, how far has the situation reached? What is Your Majesty thinking?"
Although Mu Ying didn't explain clearly, the prince already understood. Mu Ying is asking, has His Majesty decided to depose the crown prince?
The prince shook his head and said, "We haven't reached this point yet, but I can't bear it. The world is in turmoil. This time the new law--"
Mu Ying said: "Your Highness, I still don't know what the new law is and what its purpose is, but one thing I can be sure of is that your Majesty is by no means an ordinary person, and what he has decreed must have deep meaning. Your Highness Just obey.”
The prince said: "Do you know? But ------"
Mu Ying said: "There is nothing to be ashamed of, Your Highness. Back then, Qin Shihuang passed the throne to Fusu. The world of Qin, and the world of Qin, might really be passed down to a hundred generations. Now that Your Majesty has no intention of deposing the prince, what Your Highness has to do It is to preserve a useful body for the future.”
"The rest doesn't matter."
"Let me be more clear. Your Majesty is not Qin Shihuang, His Highness is not Fusu, and I am not Meng Tian."
What Mu Ying said was explicit enough.
Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally not the First Emperor of Qin. The fact that the First Emperor of Qin lived for six generations is both an advantage and a disadvantage. What he accepted was an empire that had been finalized and internally solidified. Even the prestige of Qin Shihuang may not be comparable to that of the founding king Zhu Yuanzhang.
And Mu Ying didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang was really determined to depose the prince.
Because Zhu Biao is not Fusu either.
Although Fusu was the eldest son, he did not have the title of prince. In addition, after Fusu was a daughter of Chu, the grievances and resentments between Qin Shihuang and the nobles of Chu who served within the Qin State were really difficult to describe. Qin Shihuang's attitude towards Fusu was not very good.
And Zhu Biao has been the heir apparent since he was born, and his title as prince has long been determined. Not to mention that he has been assisting the government for many years and is basically a top boss in the political arena without his status as a prince. The influence cannot be compared to Fusu.
And Mu Ying is naturally not Meng Tian.
Meng Tian was a native of Qi State. Although he was a general in the third generation of Qin, the problem was that the three generations of ancient geographical recognition were too short. The Meng family's foundation in Great Qin is far from that solid. But Mu Ying was different. Although Mu Ying was not a prince, before and after the founding of the country, a lot of power was exercised as a prince.
Not only has he experienced hundreds of battles, his political status in both the government and the public is firmly established. The faction represented by Mu Ying may not be as good as Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others. But the Muying faction has a problem. That is, Mu Ying is a direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang.
You must know that when Mu Ying first joined the army, she was stationed in Zhenjiang on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang, monitoring the Geng brothers, that is, Geng Bingwen and his elder brother.
Is this why? When Mu Ying enters the palace, she can brush her face.
Maybe some of the people guarding the palace are Mu Ying's old subordinates.
These differences determine different directions. In Muying's view, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is old and confused, everyone's family background is enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to struggle for several years. When Zhu Yuanzhang dies in the future. He can support the crown prince to ascend the throne and bring order to chaos.
The premise is that the prince should not confront Zhu Yuanzhang and lose his position as prince. That is the problem.
The prince knew everything Mu Ying said.
However, the prince was very upset.
In the past few days, there have not been many memorials written above the third rank. But the newspapers were already at war. Xie Jin went all out and built momentum. And Ding Xian was not given for free. Ding Xian's many opinions spoke to the prince's heart.
In the prince's view, the current Ming Dynasty is actually very good. Can't you do a lot of things slowly? It's too gentle, but it has to be so loud and tense.
In fact, the prince did not notice it. He felt that this incident had too wide a scope and would even affect the army, so he was already a little worried. Nothing else. I am just worried about whether Zhu Yuanzhang will be able to finish this matter if he starts it.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on doing this.
The prince is the king of preservation, not the leader of development. If you leave this matter to the prince, it is very likely that it will never be done, and you will even passively wait for the backlash brought by new productivity.
After hearing Mu Ying's words, the prince was speechless.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to let the prince see the future information brought by He Xi, the prince didn't know how to tell Mu Ying. The fundamental origin of all the changes in the world today was not that he didn't believe Mu Ying, but that he didn't know what to say.
The prince sighed and said, "I understand. Brother, my father asked you to come back, do you know why?"
Mu Ying said: "I heard some rumors. I'm not sure yet."
The prince said: "I want you to take charge of Peiping instead of Song Guogong. I have just come back from Peiping, and there are some things that I have been worried about. I just want to leave it to you."
Mu Ying said: "Your Highness, please speak."
The prince said: "Get it for me, King Qin and King Jin."
Mu Ying was startled again and looked at the prince in disbelief.
