Chapter 176 Influence from all parties
Muying thought she had eaten enough surprises today.
Never expected it. There are such big changes.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was determined to establish the Ming Dynasty law system, wanted to overthrow himself twenty years ago. He thought there would be no problem with his determination. The battle for the throne has also changed. I have watched the prince grow up with my own eyes, and I understand the prince's character best. I know that he is really good to his younger brothers, but now I have to see him attack his younger brother again.
This amount of information is too much in one day.
Mu Ying even had a suspicion.
He wondered if he was dreaming, otherwise why would it be such an incredible situation.
He also wondered whether he had been in Yunnan for too long. So that it cannot keep up with the times.
Mu Ying said: "Your Highness, did I hear you correctly?"
The prince said: "I don't think about this matter, but my father has already changed the policy of vassalage. They have all been sealed outside the Great Wall and overseas, and there are only two kings of Qin and Jin in the world. They ignore it, and I can't tolerate it. However, I just want to Capture them both, whether it means letting them become free kings in the capital in the future, or entrusting them to overseas."
"It will be all right."
"I have no intention of taking their lives. You have to pay attention to this."
Mu Ying's eyes were flowing, and countless emotions flashed through her eyes for a while, including disappointment, shock, disbelief, indifference, and submission.
Muying herself may not have noticed that at this moment, he actually expressed so many emotions.
The prince may not have noticed it himself. But Muying had already sensed the prince's true mood, which was the murderous intention behind these words of defense.
Emperor Jianwen issued an order not to kill my uncle. Does that mean you really don’t want to kill?
Of course not. It’s just that the people below don’t want to take the blame. After all, some blame can be shouldered, and some will lead to death if you shoulder the blame.
As for the matter of capturing the two kings of Qin and Jin, it did not mean to kill the two kings. Mu Ying was not bold enough to kill the prince, but the prince emphasized this point. This shows what? It shows that the prince has already weighed this matter deep in his heart.
The result is then a choice after weighing the pros and cons.
In Mu Ying's eyes, the generous and kind prince seemed to be gone now.
How could Mu Ying not be disappointed?
Just a little fluctuation in Mu Ying's heart was not enough to affect his choice. He said: "I understand."
The prince said: "Father is waiting for you. Let me go with me."
"Yes." Mu Ying said.
------
Accompanied by the prince, Mu Ying met Zhu Yuanzhang and then Queen Ma. However, his schedule has been confirmed. Rest in Nanjing for about a month. After all, Mu Ying has not been in the capital for several years and has a lot to do. Some relationships also need to be maintained and cleaned up.
Zhu Yuanzhang was considerate of Mu Ying and gave him a month. However, the north was still a stronghold of the imperial court. In such an important town, the general cannot be left vacant for too long.
Therefore, Muying needs to go north immediately in one month. Take charge of the overall situation.
But there was one person who also envied Mu Ying's treatment. This person is no one else. It is King Yan.
King Yan had already sensed the coming storm.
Ever since He Xi deceived King Yan, King Yan had long been focused on going north to seal the border. Treat Mobei as your own territory. When he came to the capital, he actually had a sense of running. After all, a little dripping from between the old man's fingers would be enough for him to eat.
But, he never expected it.
This time something like this actually happened.
Reform?
In the world, that reform was not a bloody storm. All right. The biggest advantage of this reform was that the Ming Dynasty had only been founded for more than 20 years, with a weak foundation and no historical problems. Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding king and was ruthless. No one below dared to oppose it.
But the problem is that over the past 20 years, many vested interests have been cultivated. Now I have to overthrow it all at once and start all over again. That also costs lives.
King Yan was the first to see one thing clearly.
That is this reform. Even if it does not kill everyone, it must kill a few high-ranking officials.
King Yan is not willing to wade in muddy waters here.
After all, the future he planned for himself was not in Nanjing. And in the vast Mobei.
However, King Yan didn't know why he should get away for a while.
------
If we say other people's reactions are still the aftermath, they are just bystanders. A mountain of pressure came to Liu Sanwu.
Under the pressure of the prince, Fang Xiaoru finally chose to remain silent.
Although Liu Sanwu was a little disappointed at this point, it was understandable.
Just like Liu Sanwu didn't persuade the prince to admonish his majesty after he knew the prince's true intention.
There are some things in the world that require people to die as well as people to survive.
Liu Sanwu was prepared to die. And Fang Xiaoru is going to survive.
First, Liu Sanwu is much older than Fang Xiaoru. Secondly, although Fang Xiaoru inherited Song Lian's mantle, among scholars, seniority is often considered. Fang Xiaoru's power is greater than Liu Sanwu's. But his prestige among scholars was not as good as Liu Sanwu's. In the end, of course it was for the prince.
In fact, Liu Sanwu had long known that what he was doing was in vain.
But so what?
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's will was heaven and everything. No one could hinder Zhu Yuanzhang's will.
Of course Liu Sanwu couldn't do it.
It’s just that the sacred science needs someone to defend it.
Some things must be done regardless of success or failure. In Liu Sanwu's heart, Confucianism is extremely sacred. Nature changes forever. Some heresies may arise in a moment, but what will happen to them after thousands of years? Neo-Confucianism is even more precious. Although I dare not say it and cannot easily pronounce a word, I am determined not to do what He Xi did.
Compared to these, what is Liu Sanwu’s mere head?
And if he kills someone's head and can make His Majesty see the resistance of this matter and change his mind, then he will die without regrets.
After all, he was prepared to remonstrate from the beginning.
He Xi's suggestion gave him the opportunity and the right to speak. During this period, Liu Sanwu spoke loudly, found many people, and made more voices, hoping to arouse momentum. However, the name Zhu Yuanzhang is too strong.
In official circles, there are almost no stupid people.
Everyone surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang's lust. Don't dare to say one more word. Without making a mistake, how could they, like Liu Sanwu, write a letter of objection at this time? After all, these people are the most politically sensitive and can analyze Zhu Yuanzhang's true intentions from many angles.
He would only flatter Zhu Yuanzhang in different ways, or say some useless nonsense. Express your neutral thoughts. There are almost no people above the third level who dare to oppose it.
