Chapter 23 The aftermath is not over yet
Therefore, if He Xi wants to attract merchants from all over the world in Liaodong, even if it is profitable, it will take several years to build trust.
In Beijing, there is no need, because many people have established relationships in Beijing for several years. I dare not say that they are just sitting on the ground. At least, they are not the kind of place where everyone is dead and they don’t know what is going on.
And it was said before.
In this era, what is the top consumer market? It's Ming Dynasty. There is no one, there is no accurate data, and I don’t know whether all the markets except Daming combined are more or less easy than the Daming market.
At least Nanyang and East Asia combined are far inferior to the Ming Dynasty.
When I go to Beijing on He Xi, I will have a broader sky.
He Xi said: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There's no need to say whether you want to thank me or not. I've given this stage to you. It depends on what you do. As you know the current situation, almost everyone in the world is watching. And your method can give Bringing benefits to the people of the world? In the future, when I am gone, this law will not change. But if you mess up, one day in the future, the whole family will be killed, and my daughter and grandson will be implicated, and I will not be able to control it."
If it were before, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have made it so clear to He Xi.
But the more the prince disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang, the more Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to find a remedy.
How to remedy it?
Zhu Yuanzhang could only seek solutions from other emperors in history, which is equivalent to asking online, his son is unreliable and he cannot be replaced? what to do?
The answer is, Assistant Secretary.
Although, there are various problems with this move of the Assistant Minister. But many emperors chose him, not without reason. After much thought, Zhu Yuanzhang could only add more burdens to He Xi and share more things with the prince.
In this way, the pressure on the prince was reduced a lot.
Zhu Yuanzhang still has confidence in the prince. Maybe there are some things that the prince cannot do. There is no problem at all in the evaluation of the prince. And the emperor of Shoucheng does not mean that the emperor is stuck in the old ways and has nothing to do. On the contrary, it means that this emperor can inherit and carry forward what the previous emperor left behind.
If the prince is asked to change the law, the prince may have many doubts. But there is no problem in letting the prince just keep his own power, the power of the Ming royal family.
Of course, maybe one day the person who kills He Xi's whole family will be the prince.
This is the biggest hidden danger for the Assistant Minister.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care.
The King of Qin, the son of Qin, is dead when he dies. It’s time to be sad and sad, but after being sad, that’s all. Not to mention that he is not a son, but a son-in-law.
He Xi did not expect this. Or maybe he understands, but doesn't care.
Because in his heart, when He Xi made up his mind to compete with the prince for the highest power, he already understood what he was facing? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is no third option.
He Xi seemed very moved and knelt down and said, "My son, I will definitely do your best to build a new capital for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's not too late. It won't work if there is no one in Beijing to take charge. King Yan has always wanted to go to the Northern Expedition. Without you sitting in the rear, he has no confidence. You clean up and leave quickly."
He Xi said: "I understand."
"By the way." Zhu Yuanzhang added: "Xiongying has been away for a long time, so it's time to come back."
Before, Zhu Yuanzhang was focused on the prince and valued nothing about the emperor's grandson, but he didn't care too much. After all, the emperor's grandson was too far away. But now, something has changed in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and he also wants to see what his good imperial grandson is like.
He Xi said: "Yes. I went to the north to see the emperor's grandson and sent him back immediately."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said nothing more.
He Xi retreated knowingly.
——
After returning home, He Xi immediately packed up his things and left Princess Anqing in Nanjing. After all, the aftermath of Prince Qin's shocking words had not subsided yet, so it was hard for He Xi to say anything about this matter. But as an aunt, Princess Anqing had to figure it out.
During this period of time, she couldn't leave.
Moreover, He Xi had to rush to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation, so she naturally had to rush, but Princess Anqing didn't need to, she could just walk slowly behind.
However, after a few days, Princess Anqing also figured out one thing. For example, who taught the prince of Qin what he said that day? It was an old lady in the palace of Qin. She stayed at the palace of Qin in Nanjing all year round. If it hadn't been for the death of King Qin, almost no one would have noticed him.
Every prince has his own palace in the capital. Although there is no rightful owner all year round. But leave someone to guard it.
Now it has become the residence of various princes' embassies in the capital, and they can obtain first-hand information about the Ming Dynasty for the princes who are in other places. But for the servants in these mansions, there is really little room for development.
And when we found Nanny, she was already dead.
suicide.
Mammy has no children.
What kind of person drove this nanny to do such a thing.
It has been unclear.
But He Xi knew very well that after checking to this point, He Xi already had a vague idea of a direction.
The first direction is the inside of Prince Qin's Mansion. This incident is an extension of the internal struggles in the Prince of Qin's palace. For example, the second eldest son of the Prince of Qin's family wants the eldest son's position as the heir apparent, and so on. If this is the case, you can only stay at home and be a woman, not an ordinary idiot.
After this incident, the King of Qin's palace will not be punished, but will be treated favorably by the prince, because the prince wants to prove that King Qin's death has little to do with him. But in the future, this kind of showmanship and affection will always run out.
What to do in the future?
He Xi has already met that the second prince without a fiefdom in the Ming Dynasty is about to be born.
If the King of Shu does not like to go out and prefers to study in the capital, and is known as the scholar of Shu, then the lineage of the King of Qin is another matter.
The other direction is not the feudal king, but the honorable nobles.
To put it bluntly, all the current feudal princes are too young, and their palace background is too shallow. In the field of intelligence warfare, what is often needed is not money and power, but time.
To be able to bury such a casual move in Prince Qin's palace, or to capture something that this nanny cherishes the most, all it takes is the accumulation of time.
Otherwise it is completely impossible.
He Xi was very sure that the person who could do this was either a Jin Yiwei, or a certain old noble family, or even one of the founding nobles. Maybe it was Zhu Yuanzhang's old brother before he crossed the river, who had such an arm. .
Because almost the entire Jinling City was demolished and rebuilt by Zhu Yuanzhang. In this process of creation, the entire layout of Nanjing and the interpersonal relationships within are being reshaped. At this time, many things are too easy to arrange. Moreover, because there are too many creations and too many changes, it is difficult to check. It can even be said that it is impossible to check.
After all, the Ming Dynasty did not have such a complete filing system as it does today.
Ten years after Hongwu's reign, Nanjing's construction gradually decreased, leaving only the city wall. There are fewer opportunities to intervene.
Therefore, this noble family should have been very powerful ten years ago in Hongwu.
But the range is still very large.
However, He Xi finally understood. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill people, and it was not without reason.
He Xi secretly thought: "It seems that some things need to be prepared early." Now He Xi has a very good relationship with these nobles, but in the future whether they are enemies or friends will need to be re-judged.
There was another thing that made He Xi understand, the way Zhu Yuanzhang looked at He Xi in the Qianqing Palace.
Because this is a tidbit that has been gathering dust for many years. I don’t know why it came out again. It was Hu Mei's daughter who cuckolded Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace. This led Zhu Yuanzhang to go on a killing spree. Reorganize the palace.
In short, this matter is already an old thing. Nowadays, Zhu Yuanzhang has issued a strict order not to spread the news, and many people know about it. But I didn't dare to talk nonsense. Now suddenly it came from nowhere.
Overnight, the news spread throughout Nanjing.
For a moment, everyone was particularly interested in the cuckolding of the emperor, which led to the execution of the entire family, but the rest gradually faded away.
He Xi now thinks back to what he said at the beginning, the sexy news about the top dignitaries. Isn't this referring to Zhu Yuanzhang? No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him like that.
At the same time, I don’t know whether to say that Zhu Yuanzhang loves his son deeply or that he is open-minded. Are you willing to spread such things?
