Chapter 170: The kings leave the capital
To be honest, it is easy for Zhu Xiongying to understand what He Xi brings.
the reason is simple.
What Zhu Xiongying himself studied was actually a mixture of modern science and ancient Confucianism. There was a bit of it in all aspects, giving the impression that the textbooks at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China were not much different.
After gaining a foundation, Zhu Xiongying had no barriers to learning.
However, Zhu Xiongying has never been able to understand. Things were happening in front of him, and he couldn't believe that He Xi, his uncle actually traveled from six hundred years later. ..
The facts are before our eyes.
He couldn't help but not believe it.
During this period of time, Zhu Xiongying lived in He Mansion, eager to learn new knowledge.
And as Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind. The great drama in Nanjing has come to an end.
-----
Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict and all the kings left the capital one after another.
On the Nanjing Pier, He Xi also bid farewell to King Yan again.
During this period of time, King Yan received many teachings from Xu Da in the Duke's Mansion of Wei State. After all, he came under Zhu Yuanzhang's order. Although Wei Guogong couldn't guess what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do. But after all, he is his son-in-law, and he always has to take care of him.
What's more, Xu Da actually didn't want his son to inherit the family business.
Three generations of generals are a taboo for military strategists.
Xu Da did not realize that his sons had extraordinary talents in military arts. The eldest son was okay, but the others were left behind. What's more, Xu Da already had a premonition that his political career was coming to an end.
On the one hand, Xu Da knew what he did when Zhu Yuanzhang was unconscious, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little afraid. On the other hand, it was Xu Da's own body.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the prince was gone and the queen was gone. Tang He only had one breath left. As for other old brothers, there are many who have suffered losses. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is already in his seventies.
When Zhu Yuanzhang raised his army, he was only twenty-four years old. At that time, many generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang were older than Zhu Yuanzhang, such as Tang He. Now, it is time for them to withdraw from the stage of history.
Xu Da also had a premonition that his time was running out. There was a big hole dug out from the back due to the surgery, and every rainy day, I felt heartbreaking pain.
Xu Da has spent his whole life marching and fighting, and he also wants to have a legacy. Regardless of whether King Yan is the emperor or not, it will always be useful to see the vassal state of King Yan.
So, he carefully taught it to King Yan.
For King Yan, this trip to Nanjing was also quite confusing.
He originally thought he had a chance to touch the throne of the highest power, but he didn't know what was going on, so he was allowed to return home. Although Zhu Yuanzhang also met him. However, he never mentioned the matter of the reserve. Instead, he mentioned that he was learning the art of war and told him to study hard. Contribute to the country and so on.
King Yan knew that there was no chance.
But what is the reason behind this? He was actually quite confused.
At this moment, he was ordered to return home, and not many others came to see him off. He Xi is among them.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the kings to return to the country. Those who have been immersed in political struggles all their lives have understood that the kings have no chance of becoming emperor, and the throne lies with the prince.
Although the prince has many sons, only Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen are adults.
The big seat is between the two of them.
At this time, how could these human spirits contaminate the feudal lord? Only a few people who didn't care about this came to see him off.
It was just He Xi, Li Jinglong, Mei Yin and a few others.
In the eyes of outsiders, these people are all figures who will not have much influence no matter who is in power.
King Yan did not talk about how he greeted these people, but when he arrived at He Xi's place, King Yan left He Xi to talk privately and asked: "These past few days, you have been walking in front of my father. What do you think? Can you tell me something?"
He Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, do you think it's okay?"
King Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes.
yes. "
He felt a little disappointed. Before King Yan came, he had done enough mental construction and seemed to have no idea about that position. But as a prince, how could he really have no idea at all.
It's just that he can't go out and fight for it.
Now, knowing that he has passed by him, deep down in his heart, there is some unwillingness.
He Xi said: "However, even if I don't tell some things, Your Highness will only know about them a few days later."
He Xi has already begun to prepare for the future. When He Xi thinks about the future, King Yan is one of the huge variables, and King Yan still doesn't know about it yet. Therefore, we must have a good relationship with King Yan.
Although He Xi didn't know how much role this kind of personal relationship could play when it was related to world affairs. But even if it has a little effect, it is still beneficial.
King Yan said, "Oh, what's the matter?"
He Xi said: "I will return to Beijing soon. I will stay in Beijing and preside over the military and political affairs of Beijing, Hebei, and Liaodong."
King Yan said: "The second oldest brother? Why him?"
The reason why King Yan made this judgment was because who did He Xi prefer overall? King Yan naturally knew. If Zhu Yuanzhang decided on Zhu Xiongying, then He Xi should stay in the capital to assist the government, not the other way around.
King Yan was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen's succession to the throne.
Nothing but rules.
If according to the legitimate eldest son system, the prince's lineage is the legitimate eldest son, then Zhu Xiongying is both the legitimate son and the eldest son. He should be the future prince after all. If we say that it is not based on the eldest son, then in terms of the eldest son of the country, there will be no chance of two children.
Isn't he, King Yan, as good as Zhu Yunwen?
He Xi could only smile bitterly when King Yan said this. Now the only person who knows Zhu Yuanzhang's overall plan is He Xi, and even Zhu Xiongying cannot fully understand it. This is absolutely impossible to say.
No one would believe it if I told you.
No one believed that Zhu Yuanzhang could be so cruel.
He does not hesitate to sacrifice tens of millions of lives to pave the way for his own political goals.
He Xi could only smile bitterly.
King Yan immediately understood He Xi's wry smile, patted He Xi on the shoulder and said, "The old man is confused. If you feel uncomfortable staying in the Central Plains, come to me at any time. Don't look at it. Our country of Yan is a remote and bitter cold place. But our country, Yan, will not always be like this."
"The future of the Yan Kingdom is still your plan. Come and help me, and I will entrust you with all the major affairs of the Yan Kingdom. I will lead the army, you will be in charge, and you and I will join forces to create a big world."
For a moment, He Xi felt a little moved.
Because it’s easy to draw on a blank piece of paper.
Yes. The Yan State now has only a few hundred thousand troops. But He Xi believed that King Yan would not let Yan be limited to the Songnen Plain in the future. We will definitely create a big world in the future. If the Yan State in the future can cover thousands of miles across the desert and exchange supplies with the Ming Dynasty, it will actually have the basic conditions for industrialization.
Compared with carrying out reforms in the Central Plains, it must be a big fight. But in Yan State, there are not so many constraints. After all, King Zhu Di of Yan was the conqueror, and all contradictions were eliminated in the conquest.
But He Xi immediately shook his head.
First of all, He Xi knew very well that the future would be dominated by maritime empires, and Yan would become a powerful nomadic empire at most, or even the last nomadic empire. But it was difficult to keep up with the pace of the great voyage. Secondly, although ancient and modern times are different, He Xi's national identity is somewhat misplaced. After all, the Ming Dynasty and future China are completely different political entities. The Yan Kingdom where the King of Yan is located is also the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty people. But in He Xi's eyes, it may not be China.
In the future, when the Yan Kingdom becomes stronger, it will inevitably conflict with the Ming Dynasty itself.
When did he come to this era to create a powerful nomadic dynasty to invade the Central Plains?
Although the upper class of this nomadic dynasty are also Han Chinese.
He Xi said: "If there is such a day, I will definitely join Fourth Brother, but Fourth Brother also knows that my whole life has been devoted to reform. I can die, and the law can be destroyed if I don't care about it. I can be a clan, but I can't learn. Absolutely. So, no matter what
Son, I want to give it a try. I also hope that for the sake of our long friendship, Fourth Brother will help me in the future. "
After hearing what He Xi said, King Yan was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "Why are you doing this? Many things in the world cannot be forced. The old man has given up. What kind of splash can you make? Don’t think about yourself, but also think about Anqing
