Chapter 172: Chaos in the world
Fang Xiaoru and He Xi's respective political opinions have great constraints on them, but they are the foundation of their power in the court.
Same problem, Ding Xian only has skills but no way. In Fang Xiaoru's view, such people are just waiting for others. Zhu Yunwen and Ding Xian are the most compatible, because birds of a feather flock together.
Fang Xiaoru supported Zhu Yunwen, but he was also very conflicted in his heart. After all, Zhu Xiongying was already contaminated by He Xi. He has no sacred knowledge in his heart.
He had no choice.
Fang Xiaoru didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand.
Although Fang Xiaoru has always wanted to support Zhu Yunwen to rise to power, he also has a deep understanding of Zhu Yunwen's shortcomings, so Fang Xiaoru has always had doubts in his heart about Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden closeness to Zhu Yunwen. Can't figure out why.
Now he suddenly understood.
This is raising gu.
Fang Xiaoru secretly thought, "I don't know, which one of them is the whetstone for whom."
"Your Majesty, I think it is absolutely impossible." Suddenly an old minister came out and started to announce.
He Xi looked over and saw that it was none other than Du Ze. This is an old minister and a Confucian minister. His official position is not high, but many of the court's etiquette were formulated by him. He knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it is the foundation of the world to appoint the direct eldest son, which is the foundation of the world. Unfortunately today, the prince passed away, so your majesty established the eldest grandson. To test two people separately, the officials of the world are not clear-minded. It makes the brothers unable to be close to each other, and makes the kings despise the imperial court. One policy has three disadvantages, all of which shake the foundation of the world. Even if I die, I will not dare to obey the imperial edict."...
"Your Majesty, please take back your order."
He Xi nodded secretly in his heart, there were still sensible people in the Ming court.
Zhu Yuanzhang's doing this will set off a fight for the right to inherit the throne. In the future, we will encounter that the fight for the right to win the right to inherit the throne will surpass the struggle for reform and become the most important contradiction in the court. This caused constant disputes within the imperial court. As for brothers Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Xiongying, the relationship is not good now. But if Zhu Yuanzhang decided who would be the crown prince, the other person might still survive.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's actions today determined that one of them would die with a high probability.
As mentioned before, King Yan felt that everyone sat in rows according to the eldest son system and divided the fruits. Although he was not convinced, the rules were the rules and there was nothing to say. Now I suddenly realize that you are only like this to us, not to others.
The kings were naturally unconvinced.
More importantly, the direct chief system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang has almost disappeared.
However, if you don't know this, what Zhu Yuanzhang wants is chaos in the world. Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to put the whole world on the altar for his political ideals.
Regarding this matter, He Xi had mixed emotions every time he thought about it. I don't know whether I admire Zhu Yuanzhang's determination and cruelty, or I think Zhu Yuanzhang becomes more stubborn as he gets older. It seems to be a common problem among the elderly.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "I have made up my mind, no more words."
"Your Majesty, even if your Majesty wants to test the two grandsons, you cannot send them out." Du Ze said, "The former Yuan Dynasty ordered the prince to go out of town, which caused all kinds of chaos. The lesson is not far away, so please be careful."
If the two emperors and grandsons were in the capital, the most extreme result would be a fight in the capital and a Xuanwumen fight. There are only a limited number of people who can die like that. But if the dispute between the two emperors and their grandsons spreads, it won't be settled by just one Xuanwu Sect incident.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all and said, "That's it for today." He got up and left.
Du Ze wanted to chase after him, but was pinned to the ground by the guards. Du Ze struggled desperately and said, "Your Majesty, this is going to cause chaos in the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang's steps paused slightly. But then he walked on firmly.
As long as the prince is here, Zhu Yuanzhang can still place his hope in the prince. The prince is no longer here. Who can Zhu Yuanzhang put his hope in? Since no one can be trusted, he must arrange everything before his death so that Ming Dynasty can move towards a new era irreversibly.
------
After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Qianqing Palace, he immediately summoned Zhu Xiongying and He Xi.
Zhu Yuanzhang stepped back and asked Zhu Xiongying, "Have you read them all?"
Zhu Xiongying said: "I've seen it."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What are your thoughts?"
Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seemed to be unable to say anything. He repeated this again and again before sighing and saying, "My grandson has a lot of ideas, but he doesn't know what to say at the moment?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What do you think of the reform?"
Zhu Xiongying said: "We must change the law, and we must change it as soon as possible. The sooner the better."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Why do you say that?"
Zhu Xiongying said: "Confucianism cannot save the world. If Confucianism can, the Zhao family will not be so miserable. Only the new law can save the world. Even if my family loses power in the future, it will still end up like it did in history. Heirs are almost extinct. In addition, our firm reform is because the emperor has seen such things as time travel with his own eyes. I have seen my uncle with my own eyes and know that his uncle is extraordinary. But what will the people of the future be like? Our generation People are gone. Who would believe such a thing? They will only think it is a strange talk. It is simply unbelievable, and naturally no one will believe it. Let alone anyone who is determined to change the law."
When He Xi heard what Zhu Xiongying said, his heart moved slightly, and he looked at Zhu Xiongying a little differently.
He had never thought that Zhu Xiongying looked at the problem from this perspective.
good. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang supported the reform so firmly may not be because he saw He Xi traveling through time in front of him, and felt that He Xi's arrival was his destiny.
What is this destiny?
Naturally, it is to promote reforms so that China can transcend the dynastic cycle of more than a thousand years.
This is his destiny.
It was precisely because of this feeling that Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to do so at all costs. Even the lives of his descendants were sacrificed.
But would anyone else have such thoughts?
Even Zhu Xiongying may not have such belief. After this failure, even if He Xi's books were handed down, would anyone believe them? After all, history has already branched off from the Hongwu Dynasty. What Zhu Yuanzhang could trust before He Xi may not win the trust of future monarchs. It may even be regarded as a hoax to deceive the public.
It's like Wang Mang is a time traveler.
Just joking in private. If someone really publishes various evidence in historical journals to prove that Wang Mang is a time traveler. That's the real joke.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, he is my grandson."
Zhu Xiongying said: "It's just that there are some things that my grandson doesn't understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Say."
Zhu Xiongying said: "Grandpa Huang, do you want to keep an eye on your second brother?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "So what if you see it? So what if you don't see it?"
Zhu Xiongying said: "If I let my second brother see it, I should ask my second brother to come with me today. My brother is very sharp. If I don't let my second brother see it, my grandson won't understand why Grandpa Huang treated him so well." Brother entrusted me with an important task?"
Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he didn't say it clearly, he had an attitude of not giving in.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing after hearing this, although he admired Zhu Xiongying's aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. But Zhu Xiongying is still too young. I really thought that the Ming Emperor could do everything.
No, he is Zhu Yuanzhang, who can do everything in the position of Emperor Ming. If the Ming Emperor were not Zhu Yuanzhang, there would be very little he could do.
If Zhu Yuanzhang could be twenty years younger, he wouldn't have to resort to this trick.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not deny Zhu Xiongying's idea, but said: "After you go back, think about this matter carefully. When will you figure it out? You will really grow up."
Zhu Xiongying could only say dullly: "Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What are you going to do after you go to Beijing?"
Zhu Xiongying said: "Advance the new law at all costs."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay. Remember what you said. Go down and get ready." As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhu Xiongying said, he knew that He Xi had not completely told the truth to Zhu Xiongying, so Zhu Xiongying did not know that Zhu Yuanzhang
What does Zhang want?
Zhu Xiongying glanced at He Xi and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had something to say to He Xi. He bowed and left.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He Xi, do you think a hero can become a hero?"
He Xi said: "I thought that the emperor's eldest grandson would definitely take up your majesty's mantle."
