Chapter 4 Spring Festival
Although it is the first time for Beijing to hold such a grand ceremony. But in fact, there are certain rules.
He Xi only needs to follow the officials, step by step and dance with joy. However, the protagonist of this drama is no one else. But Zhu Xiongying.
Compared with He Xi who followed the trend. Zhu Xiongying had the opportunity to perform alone. He wanted to offer sacrifices and grains to Sheji, and there were already many new crops.
This was also added recently.
Speaking of which, it has been nearly ten years since crops were introduced to America. In the past ten years, some American crops have gradually adapted to the Asian climate, but some American crops have degraded. Needless to say, the latter is mostly the former. The former is considered as an auspicious gift to the God of Agriculture and Grain.
As for the imperial edict issued by Zhu Yuanzhang to collect high-quality seeds from outside the region, there was no deadline. Some people still sent some very novel crops from overseas, some of which they had never seen before.
Of course, most of the crops that He Xi had never seen were eliminated.
After all, we have to believe in the rigor and talent of the Chinese people in agriculture. All foreign crops that have not been introduced to China are either not delicious or difficult to grow. Even if they are screened again, the result will probably be the same.
But this became a custom and remained.
It can be regarded as He Xi's small impact on this world.
After all the tossing, He Xi sweated slightly. The whole ceremony is over. And then the heavy spring plowing is about to begin.
Zhu Xiongying also left He Xi to talk in the palace.
As Zhu Xiongying is the son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson, it is natural that the Beijing Imperial Palace wants him to live there. However, he is only the grandson of the emperor and has no other identity. Therefore, you cannot live in the main hall, or even in the east palace. I could only choose a side hall in the palace. as his residence and office.
Of course, Zhu Xiongying lived in the Shuntian Mansion Yamen for a long time.
Zhu Xiongying stepped back and immediately asked anxiously: "Uncle, when will we return to Beijing?"
He Xi secretly thought: "You can't go back." However, He Xi could not say this to him, but said: "Be calm and don't be impatient. Lan Yu is in the capital. The overall situation cannot be messed up."
Lan Yu is in the capital. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement.
On the one hand, it's because Xu Da's health is getting worse and he has officially faded out. Recuperate at home. He Xi's news channel told him that this was true. Xu Da's physical condition has been poor. I've been getting sicker lately. Many people say that Xu Da will definitely go ahead of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even before Zhu Yuanzhang died, he would definitely take Xu Da with him.
He Xi didn't know whether this was true or not. But Xu Da faded out, and his vacancy needs to be filled.
Otherwise, the military power in Nanjing would be in the hands of Fu Youde and Feng Sheng, and many people would be worried. So Lan Yu came to contain the two of them, which was also a signal sent by Zhu Yuanzhang. That is to say, he is not sure about the storage location. .z.
Because if Zhu Yuanzhang confirmed that Zhu Yunwen was the prince and grandson, it would be impossible to introduce Zhu Xiongying's hardcore Lan Yu to take power in Beijing.
He even wanted to show the world that he was raising gu.
In the future, it will be because he is playing tricks on his husband, not because he deliberately wants to cause a war.
He Xi can even be sure that there will definitely be a blood sacrifice at the beginning of this battle for the inheritance. It was no one else who used it for blood sacrifice. It is Ying Guogong Sapphire. Although Lan Yu is a good hand on the battlefield, in the political arena, he is as immature as a child.
He Xi thought she could handle Lan Yu back then, let alone those old foxes in Nanjing. Kill Lan Yu when they need it, just like playing.
He Xi even felt that Lan Yu was the alarm that Zhu Yuanzhang left for He Xi. When did Sapphire die? When can we mobilize troops?
But these analyzes cannot be told to Zhu Xiongying.
In the past few years, Zhu Xiongying, as Shuntian Prefecture, has been in contact with the people on the front line, and has made great progress through various experiences.
However, I don’t know whether some of the progress is good or bad.
Back then, Zhu Xiongying was ignorant and fearless, but now the more Zhu Xiongying knows, the less courage he has. Zhu Xiongying
It was not that he had not considered raising troops in Beijing, but as soon as he made the calculation, he felt that it would not work.
Beijing has jurisdiction over all the troops in Yanbian, more than one million people. However, these troops are not in the hands of Beijing, and the number directly under Beijing's jurisdiction is only 100,000, which can be regarded as the total reserve force of the border army. How many soldiers and horses are there in Nanjing now? Except for these one hundred thousand.
So even if these one hundred thousand are heavenly soldiers and generals, what can they do?
From this point, we can see how talented Zhu Di is in military affairs. Now Zhu Xiongying's capital is much stronger than Zhu Di's. Zhu Xiongying didn't even think about using force to solve the problem. Some just wanted to go to Beijing immediately and seize the throne before Zhu Yuanzhang died.
Zhu Xiongying said: "But Grandpa Huang's body------"
He Xi said: "Your Majesty is protected by the gods, and good people have their own destiny. Your Highness does not need to worry."
Zhu Xiongying took a deep look at He Xi, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart. If he didn't know the details of He Xi and He Xi's determination to reform. He even doubted whether He Xi had been connected with Nanfang.
However, Zhu Xiongying did not let He Xi notice this slight difference.
At least for this period of time, Zhu Xiongying's city has been raised.
Zhu Xiongying said: "Why does Shen Guogong want to find his uncle?"
He Xi sighed and said, "Shen Guogong-------" and then shook his head.
Zhu Xiongying said: "That's fine. People with different Taoist views can't work together. It's just that Duke Shen has the military power in Beijing, which must not be missed. I think my uncle can do something about it."
He Xi said: "Don't worry, I know this matter well. No matter what happens, I can guarantee that Beijing will be His Highness's Beijing."
Zhu Xiongying said: "I will arrange for Ping An to obey my uncle's orders."
Zhu Xiongying's arrival in Beijing was not without gains. When the prince went north, he recruited many generals, among whom Ping'an was the most outstanding. Although Ping'an is said to have followed King Yan in his Northern Expedition, Ping'an has never belonged to King Yan. It can be said that he is an old member of Song Guogong, but it can also be said that he is a person whom the prince values.
So Zhu Xiongying inherited these connections.
And when setting up the Beijing camp, Zhu Xiongying also played a role in sending Ping An and others to the Beijing camp.
Today's Beijing camp can be divided into three parts, controlled by Deng Zhen, He Xi, and Zhu Xiongying respectively.
Of course, because Deng Zhen is in charge, the troops Deng Zhen controls are better than the combination of He Xi and Zhu Xiongying. Of course, this is superficial. After all, He Xi has been in Beijing for so many years and has been planning for more than three years. If he still cannot fully control the city of Beijing, He Xi can kill him with a piece of tofu.
Deng Zhen himself didn't even know that the people below him had been hollowed out by He Xi.
After all, Deng Zhen had no idea that He Xi had been preparing for the war. An army in peacetime is different from an army in wartime. In times of war, the army needs the absolute authority of its commander. It is common for him to retort and be dragged away for questioning. But the army involved in peace affairs is the most taboo about speaking out.
After all, the people above were worried about what the specific person leading the army had in mind.
And Deng Zhen runs the army with a peacetime mentality. He is only responsible for the general situation and does not care about the small thoughts of the people below. He felt that the people below had some small thoughts. Could it be that they wanted to rebel?
He Xi took advantage of Deng Zhen's mentality and arranged a murderous plot for Deng Zhen.
It all depends on Deng Zhen’s future performance.
If possible, He Xi wouldn't want to kill this person. After all, they had enjoyed working together over the years. Deng Zhen also gained a lot of benefits from the new law and may win over people to become his own.
It's just a pity.
Today, the biggest contradiction in the Ming Dynasty is already the seizure of the direct descendants, and everything else has been left behind.
He Xi said: "With General Ping An's support, this matter will be more certain."
Zhu Xiongying spoke some more words to He Xi, and finally asked suddenly: "Uncle, can I really not return to Nanjing?"
He Xi and Zhu Xiongying looked at each other. What did they seem to see in Zhu Xiongying's eyes? In other words, Zhu Xiongying saw something in He Xi's eyes. most
Later He Xi didn't say anything. Zhu Xiongying just sighed and let He Xi leave.
Deep in the palace, Zhu Xiongying sighed softly and said to himself: "Grandpa Huang, did you really choose the second child? What did I do wrong?"
