Chapter 194: Under Nanjing City
Sima Yi has already shown one thing to the world, that is, the oath he has sworn is like farting.
The oaths are like this. Not to mention others.
A gentleman, a promise worth a thousand dollars. Life and death are not easy. This is certainly a virtue. But such people are not good enough to do big things, and they are not good enough to join official circles.
What Yao Guangxiao is worried about is once he gives up his power.
In the future, it will be too late to regret.
This issue was suppressed before.
But now that Nanjing has been captured, He Xi and Zhu Xiongying are in close combat. It's already started. There is no longer a buffer between the two sides.
As He Xi's counselor, Yao Guangxiao had to prepare in advance.
Faced with this situation, He Xi had no way to go into details. How to delve deeper. People who think like this are He Xi's cronies and can be said to be the backbone of He Xi's faction.
He Xi's treatment of these people will only cause pain to his relatives and happiness to his enemies. Not to mention, what many people think is not unreasonable.
Power is something that is very difficult to obtain. There are layers of struggle to go through.
The reason why He Xi is what he is today is, on the one hand, because he has been raising the world for more than ten years, and on the other hand, it is because of Zhu Yuanzhang's cultivation.
Without Zhu Yuanzhang, he would not be where he is today.
But power is hard to pick up and even harder to put down.
Every transfer of power in the Tang Dynasty was carried out in the form of a coup. The former Soviet Union would not have disintegrated so quickly if there were not many problems in the transfer of power.
this is a big problem.
Didn't the emperor of the Tang Dynasty know that he would die sooner or later? I don’t know, handing over my power to the prince or heir is the best way for the people in the world.
It is also the best way for the court.
However, the essence of the emperor's power is the power of life and death. With this power, who do you want to kill? Giving this power to others is Tai'a's inversion. If others want to kill him, they can kill him at any time.
If you are a normal person, you will have one idea, and that is to maintain power. Until the last moment, until you can no longer control your body or spirit.
This is the best solution for individuals. But it is a very bad thing for the country.
As far as He Xi is concerned now.
It is not difficult for He Xi to take down Zhu Yingxiong and take over the power. But he must think that in the future, after he becomes emperor and his position is not right, the future He family royal family will have to focus more on stabilizing imperial power, and the best way to stabilize imperial power is Confucianism. Suppressing the development vitality of the entire society will allow the He family royal family to continue longer.
So, everything went to its opposite.
But simply return the power to Zhu Xiongying and make Zhu Xiongying a true emperor. Although it's harder than the first option. But it's not impossible.
After all, the personal relationship between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying is very good. Moreover, Princess Anqing brought Zhu Xiongying up since childhood. The relationship is extraordinary.
Although there have been some run-ins and collisions over the years, there are secrets between them. The two sides have never been at odds. If He Xi sincerely handed over the power to Zhu Xiongying. Zhu Xiongying will definitely be kind to He Xi.
At least, in the future, as long as He Xi doesn't act out of line, Xu Da's treatment will probably be He Xi's treatment.
But this is not what He Xi wants.
What He Xi wants is a stable power inheritance. Change the imperial power of the feudal dynasty. It is even impossible to copy many Western systems.
It must be redesigned according to the current situation of Ming Dynasty. And he must use every means to make the Ming court move in the direction he wants.
This made He Xi feel dizzy.
This is simply not something ordinary people can do.
Now, this matter has become He Xi's most important issue.
He Xi didn't ask anything else. There is no need to say more. He Xi said: "No matter what the outcome of this matter is? You must handle it thoroughly."
What evening
The implication was that he not only suspected that Yao Guangxiao had let go. He even suspected that Yao Guangxiao planned Zhu Yunwen's escape.
The purpose is to lift Zhu Yunwen out again and give Zhu Xiongying a blow when necessary in the future.
But now He Xi doesn't want to ask or know.
Let’s talk about the future in the future.
------
Just as Xi Xi had expected.
Arriving at the gate of Nanjing safely, Nanjing opened the city gate with little effort. It was opened by Xu Zengshou.
Xu Huizu thought too much, but his younger brother Xu Zengshou had no other ideas.
He just needs to be knighted for this merit.
Passed on to future generations.
And Zhu Yunwen naturally disappeared. Also missing were dozens of descendants of generals headed by Fu Mao, whose fathers and ancestors died in the North-South War. Of course, Empress Fu and the prince were also among them.
As for the Lu family, no one cares.
Although Zhu Yunwen and Lu were biological mother and son, they also had conflicts over many things.
After all, Lu is smart but has too narrow vision. There were many things that Lu couldn't understand. This is not his fault. After all, how can a mere housewife understand the changes between the government and the opposition.
Originally, there were many changes in the government and the opposition during the period after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It's nothing short of earth-shaking. And because of the arrival of He Xi, the establishment of many new doctrines, changes in the government and the opposition, and political trends, many people in this era cannot understand it.
Even He Xi was a little unsure.
Just like this new battle for peace, the original battle for peace was virtually eliminated because of the arrival of He Xi. But the arrival of He Xi gave birth to a new source of war.
Not to mention the Lu family.
Lu was shrewd and capable and did a lot to fight for Zhu Yunwen's reserve position, but Lu didn't know it. Zhu Yuanzhang's change in attitude towards Zhu Yunwen was never because of anything Lu did. But what kind of Nanjing court Zhu Yuanzhang wanted.
In the end, he was excluded from the list of successors from the beginning, and finally decided to become a sacrifice for the Ming Dynasty to move into a new era.
But Lu didn't know that Lu took all of this as his own credit.
In many things, Zhu Yunwen was dissatisfied with the measures taken, especially the Lu family, which relied on the power of the Queen Mother to make a lot of money. In many things, they were even suspected of scheming with the enemy.
The mother-son relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point.
Moreover, it will be very inconvenient for me to take a woman with me when I flee overseas in the future. The reason why he took Empress Fu with him was because it was the link between Zhu Yunwen and the Fu family, and there were still three points left in the broken ship. Almost all the men of the Fu family died in the battle. But the influence of the Fu Youde faction still exists, and Fu Mao is the soul of these people.
There were some civil servants around Zhu Yunwen, but these people were at the beginning of their escape. It's of no use.
Lu's family may not be able to withstand such displacement.
Lu was also very happy and committed suicide.
And Lu's suicide. It is also a symbol of chaos in Nanjing.
In any case, when the Northern Army entered the city of Nanjing, there was chaos for several hours in the entire city of Nanjing. There were naturally a lot of things like massacres, murders and arson.
But Ping An has been stationed in Beijing for many years, and what he is best at is actually taking charge of Beijing's defense. Many of the systems in Beijing today were of course founded by He Xi. But it was also founded on He Xi with reference to the system of the Nanjing court.
Therefore, Ping An took charge of Nanjing City and successfully acquired it.
After just over a day, the city of Nanjing returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
But nothing really happens.
Nanjing fell into the hands of the Northern Army.
No, Nanjing returned to the hands of the imperial court, and the news that the imperial court pacified Nanni spread throughout the world. Korean Duke Li Qi surrendered unconditionally. Lantian Yang Wen surrendered himself.
Except for the Guangdong and Guangxi areas, which still hold high the Nanjing flag, most of the Ming Dynasty has returned to
Under the command of the Longwu court.
And everyone knows that the resistance of Guangdong and Guangxi cannot last long.
As for the south of the Yangtze River, Zhejiang and Fujian, they are directly facing the Northern Army's naval front. Everyone knows how powerful they are, but they don't know how to resist. After all, they also have to rely on the sea for food.
After several years of chaos, Ming Dynasty will reunite.
Is it just the Ming Dynasty that has reunited? It is completely different from the previous Ming Dynasty. A new world slowly unfolded like this.
