Chapter 7 Zhu Yunwen’s plan
With his position secure, Zhu Yunwen doesn't mind if Ming Dynasty develops better. But the prerequisite for all this is that your position is secure.
At this point, it can be said that it is the instinct of all emperors.
To put it bluntly, if Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't died because of himself, the death of the prince and the queen would have hurt his heart too much. He looked down upon the inheritance of his descendants and was more focused on how to make the Ming Dynasty better, so he might not make such a decision.
Zhu Yunwen said: "Grandpa Huang, please rest assured that he will do a good job in the future. But Uncle He?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "It's up to you to decide what happens in the future."
The implication is that He Xi will kill him if he wants.
Zhu Yunwen actually had a question in his mind that kept lingering, but he didn't dare to ask it. This question was nothing else. That's why he was selected as the successor but Zhu Xiongying was not dealt with.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen's intention was not necessarily to kill. Instead, he was sent far away to become a vassal king. After throwing Zhu Xiongying to an island in Nanyang, Zhu Yunwen would not necessarily touch him. After all, Zhu Xiongying did not affect him, and he also wanted to have a good reputation. .z.
It's just this question that he has never dared to ask. Now I still don’t dare.
Zhu Yuanzhang said so much. Somewhat tired. He slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen quickly covered Zhu Yuanzhang with a quilt and ordered the eunuchs and maids to take good care of him.
Then he slowly withdrew.
------
There is no need for Zhu Yunwen to live in Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yunwen respected Zhu Yuanzhang, and the palace attendants in Qianqing Palace never changed. Zhu Yunwen was worried that some important matters might be discussed in the Qianqing Palace, and the walls might have ears, so he found a side hall near the Qianqing Palace. As your own bedroom.
On the one hand, it is convenient for him to visit Zhu Yuanzhang in Qianqing Palace.
On the other hand, it is also convenient for Zhu Yunwen to discuss important matters with the ministers around him.
As soon as Zhu Yunwen returned to the side hall.
Fang Xiaoru and Ding Xian came forward. ,
There is no need to mention the salute.
Fang Xiaoru said, "Has Your Majesty relented?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "I didn't ask, and His Majesty didn't say anything."
Naturally, it was about Zhu Xiongying.
Ding Xian said: "Your Majesty, I think this is the test question that Your Majesty has given you. If you can't handle this matter well, I'm afraid that in Your Majesty's heart, Your Majesty is not qualified to shoulder the great responsibility. Now that His Majesty's destiny is about to end, we must prepare Let’s deal with the matter in Beijing. After all, the news of His Majesty’s physical condition has been blocked. We have the upper hand here, so we can naturally strike first.”
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment and said: "No, brother Gu over there in Beijing, if I do such a thing, how can I see my father under Jiuquan?"
Ding Xian smiled secretly in his heart: "Did I tell you how to deal with it? I just said, strike first to gain advantage."
It can be seen that the person who wants Zhu Xiongying to die deep down is not Ding Xian, but Zhu Yunwen.
Fang Xiaoru said: "What Your Highness said is absolutely true. However, for the sake of national affairs and the sake of the world, I ask Your Majesty to do your best. In the future, it will be enough to ask the King of Wu to maintain the vassal overseas. This can already demonstrate the benevolence of Your Highness."
Zhu Yunwen seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, "Everything comes first to protect my brother."
Ding Xian said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I know the truth in my heart. The key to all this lies with two people."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Those two people?"
Ding Xian said: "One is Ying Guo Gong, and the other is Shen Guo Gong." Then Ding Xian said: "If you want Beijing to be captured, you must first cut off its wings, and the one in Beijing has two wings, one is He Xi, and the other is Lan Jade. To get rid of He Xi and capture Beijing, Duke Shen must take action."
"Shen Guo Gong has been in Beijing for many years and has been in charge of the military. Even if He Xi has some foundation in Beijing, how can he compare with the master of Ming Dynasty's economic system. I am already prepared for this. All it takes is a handwritten letter from His Highness, and Shen Guo Gong will do it. I will take the two of you and leave them to your Highness' disposal."
"And clearly
Sapphire, but there are some problems. "
"Lanyu has been living in the Dashengguan camp these years, with tens of thousands of elite troops in his hands. He also felt the crisis. He never returned to Beijing. And Dashengguan is not far from the Taiping Iron Works, and the Taiping Iron Works , weapons piled up in mountains. There are also countless miners. As long as Lan Yu takes over the Taiping Iron Works, he can expand his army by tens of thousands and become a threat to the world. There are only three people in the capital who can get rid of Lan Yu. Song Guogong, Ying Guo Duke, and Duke Wei."
Zhu Yunwen said: "There is no need to say anything about Wei Guogong."
Ding Xian said: "Exactly, in the past three years, Wei Guogong has been recuperating from illness. Whether it is true or not, I learned through the imperial doctor that although Wei Guogong's back carbuncle was cured, there was a hole as big as a bowl dug in his back. When it's cloudy and rainy, the pain is unbearable. The Taiyuan Hospital even suggested that Wei Guogong use a vagina."
"***?" Fang Xiaoru was shocked when he heard this.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew about the Japanese war. So he asked Tai Hospital to study *** very early. In fact, it was a traditional Chinese medicine in the Tang Dynasty. It's just addiction research, not that early. He was named by Zhu Yuanzhang to study and guide the direction. The addictive nature of drugs is naturally exposed to the world.
The imperial court even placed poison on ***. Manage together with arsenic and other poisons.
In ancient times, poisons were prescribed and registered in regular pharmacies. When something goes wrong, the court will investigate. Of course, this kind of rules and regulations will not be so perfect, but it also represents the court's attitude towards ***.
Fang Xiaoru naturally knew it too. I heard that Wei Guogong was already using drugs to relieve pain, so I knew that Wei Guogong's lifespan would not be long.
Ding Xian said: "It's ***. However, Wei Guogong's illness is good and bad sometimes, and sometimes it is not that serious. It's just that Wei Guogong's illness probably won't be cured before His Highness ascends the throne. So, solve Lan Yu's problem There are only Dukes of Song and Dukes of Ying."
Lan Yu is in the military camp. If he wants to capture Lan Yu without any bloodshed, he must have strong influence in the army. Let the soldiers in the camp not listen to Lan Yu, but listen to him.
As mentioned earlier, the interior of the Jingying camp is not monolithic. It is divided into Jingwei, Banjun, etc. Specifically, there are many factions. Lan Yu's prestige can naturally be suppressed, but these people are not all Lan Yu, Chang Yuchun's old subordinates.
Naturally, there are also the old subordinates of the three princes.
Therefore, as long as one of the three princes comes forward, he can naturally control most of the army before Lan Yu discovers it, thus avoiding a bloody battle. After all, Jingying is the elite of the Ming Dynasty and the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. If the loss is serious, it will damage the national strength of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen said: "I heard you just said Duke Ying, but I don't know what Duke Song's reaction was?"
Ding Xian said: "Song Guogong is strong without desire. Song Guogong only has two daughters, one is married to the king of Zhou and the other is married to Chang Mao. Today Chang Mao is still in exile in Guangxi, and Chang Mao has never respected Song Guogong. Song Guogong hates this son-in-law. , let alone what happens to Chang Mao. And the King of Zhou is overseas, so there is no need for Song Guogong to worry about it. Song Guogong seems to be learning from Wei Guogong, but in my opinion, Song Guogong has no idea about fame. "
Fang Xiaoru said: "It is the way of heaven to retire after one's achievements. If the Duke of Song Dynasty has this intention of holding on to the surplus and guarding the deficit, he may be able to continue to be rich and noble."
Zhu Yunwen said: "So, Duke Ying has something to ask for."
Ding Xian said: "Yes. What Duke Ying wants is the crown prince of Ying."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Fu Zhong."
Ding Xian said: "Exactly. However, it is up to Your Highness to decide what position to give Fu Zhong."
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment and said: "Wherever Lan Yu is, Fu Zhong will be. However, I have to tell Duke Ying in advance that there will be a shortage of people in Beijing in the future. I hope he can take charge."
Zhu Yunwen's abacus was very accurate and he left Fu Zhong in charge of the capital camp. Let Fu Youde go to Beijing to take charge. It seems that father and son hold high positions of authority. But Fu Zhong was almost a hostage in the capital. After all, there are many factions in the capital camp. Except for these veterans, all subsequent generals probably have no absolute influence.
Not even Lan Yu can guarantee the absolute loyalty of his subordinates, let alone others.
Suppressing Fu Zhong and using Fu Youde to control the north is a clever move.
Ding Xian immediately said: "Your Highness is wise. With Your Highness's promise, Duke Ying will definitely be used by Your Highness. The blue jade will definitely be captured by Your Highness."
