A hard landing is prone to problems, and a soft landing is the right way to go.
In history, within a few months of Emperor Jianwen coming to power, he took thunderous measures and demoted the King of Zhou to a commoner. Later, he also took action against the three princes Qi, Xiang, and Dai and deposed him as a commoner.
King Bai of Xiang was afraid and could not understand himself, so he burned his entire palace to death!
Under such tragedy, Emperor Jianwen remained unmoved and placed King Qi and King Dai under house arrest one after another, and later reduced King Min to a commoner.
With no way to retreat, Zhu Di rebelled under the banner of "Qingjun side, Jingguo is in trouble". After four years, he ousted Emperor Jianwen from power and sat on the throne of Nanjing.
This time, Zhu Yunwen learned the lessons of history. We are no longer eager to cut off the vassal state. Wouldn't it be better to let them take the initiative to ask themselves to cut off the vassal state and change the vassal state?
The matter was done in front of everyone, and no one could tell what was wrong. Besides, Yi Fan's result was much better than what they had done in the desolate frontier.
Wouldn't it be better to enjoy the glory and glory and be a Taiping feudal king?
Those who are lustful will have more concubines, those who are rich will have more acres of land, and those who are delicious will have more rations of food.
Good military power?
That is courting death.
Military power must be returned to the central government!
This point is non-negotiable!
"Come, let's have a drink during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhu Yunwen raised his glass and everyone followed.
Putting down the wine glass and filling it with the eunuch on the side, Zhu Yunqi walked off the stage with the wine glass and said to everyone: "I alone dedicate this glass of wine to my fourth uncle. Fourth uncle, come!"
Zhu Di stood up quickly without daring to say anything.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "I can see the great achievements and hard work of my fourth uncle. Without my fourth uncle sitting in charge of Shuntian and coordinating the nine-sided military, I would be in trouble day and night. This glass of wine should be dedicated to my fourth uncle."
"Fourth brother, just drink."
The acting king Zhu Gui shouted with a smile.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yunwen, who raised his glass. When the two clinked glasses, Zhu Di saw Zhu Yunwen's glass lowered, and quickly moved the glass down, touched it lightly, and drank it all.
Zhu Yunwen looked at this small detail, smiled at the corner of his mouth, drank the wine in the glass, and then picked up the jug from the side, preparing to pour wine for Zhu Di himself. By accident, the jug fell to the ground, and the wine spilled all over the floor.
Everyone was shocked.
Shuangxi hurriedly came over to clean up, and then gave a new wine to the family.
Zhu Yunwen said slightly apologetically: "Fourth Uncle, I was not careful just now. Come, I will fill it up for you. If the wine is poured, I can only serve new wine. I hope it will satisfy Fourth Uncle's appetite."
Zhu Di's eyes widened with horror!
"When the wine is poured, you can only serve new wine." This sentence was said by Li Zengzhi and Zhu Di during a secret conversation in Yangzhou Mansion!
But the emperor said it word for word!
Could it be that Li Zengzhi was a member of the emperor and was sent by the emperor to test him? !
The family banquet continued, but Zhu Di was already cold and uninterested. Looking at the gentle smile on Zhu Yunzhen's face, Zhu Di panicked for a while.
He knows every move he makes!
He knows he is ambitious!
He knows who his people are!
Therefore, he changed Peiping's defense!
Therefore, he transferred away Li Jinglong, Xu Zengshou, Li Zenzhi and others!
Therefore, he is leaving Daoyan!
Therefore, he is preparing to implement the new army strategy in Beiping Mansion!
What on earth is he doing?
Zhu Di's mouth was full of bitterness, I understand!
Zhu Yunwen is using the art of war to surrender without fighting!
What a great Zhu Yunwen, what a great Emperor Jianwen, what a great nephew!
The family banquet was over and all the vassal kings left one after another.
After Zhu Di returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, he told Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and others about what happened at the family banquet, and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhu Gaoxu became angry and said: "Father, it must be Li Zengzhi who betrayed us! Qiu Fu was guarding the outside at that time, and it was impossible for outsiders to hear the sound in the room. No one except Li Zengzhi and my father knew the content of the secret conversation!"
"Is there any point in finding out who betrayed him now?"
Zhu Gaochi glared at Zhu Gaoxu, and then said to Zhu Di: "Father, the plan for now is to cater to the Holy Will and wait for the opportunity. From the time when the emperor summoned Daoyan to Beijing, to when the recruitment strategy fell in Beiping Mansion, and then to the Zhongqiu Family The banquet implies that the emperor is aware of our thoughts, but because there is no clear evidence, he has repeatedly beaten us."
Zhu Di naturally understood this and sighed: "In your opinion, how can we cater to the holy will?"
Zhu Gaochi said seriously: "Express your loyalty."
Zhu Di's pupils shrank slightly. These three words are easy to say, but too difficult to do!
Show your loyalty in the capital, say a few words, and it's easy to show off.
But how can I show my loyalty after returning to Beiping Mansion?
It was nothing more than giving up military power, weakening the military, or introducing new soldiers. Zhu Di couldn't choose any of them!
How can you succeed in the big thing you want to do without soldiers?
Zhu Gaoxu did not agree with his elder brother's view and said: "Father, why don't we return to the capital and set up a big flag. According to father's call, all the guards in Beiping will definitely respond. By then we will have one hundred thousand soldiers." Ma, as long as you convince King Ning, King Gu, and King Dai, you can control most of Northern Zhili. When the time comes, you can send your army south to conquer Jinan, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, and you will surely capture Nanjing in one fell swoop!"
"Brother, you seem to have forgotten that there are still 400,000 troops surrounding Beiping Mansion!"
Zhu Gaochi retorted sharply.
Zhu Gaoxu sneered and said: "So what if we have an army of 400,000? Without good generals, no matter how many soldiers there are, they are nothing but trash. Although Ping'an and Qu Neng have some abilities, they are still no match for Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng. What's more, my father has fought hundreds of battles and is famous. Who is that?" Dare to challenge?"
Zhu Gaochi shouted angrily: "You are too naive! At this time, Peiping's defense should be completely in the hands of Ping An! Ping An is also a man of means. I heard that the emperor also gave them the power to appoint officers. Once they are replaced, Who among his own people will obey our orders?”
"Even if we take control of Beiping Mansion, the new army strategy will be implemented before we arrive. Do you think the guards will risk their lives to fight or enjoy the benefits of the new army?! Without these people, where would we get the 100,000 soldiers and horses!"
"Besides, how can we act in a hurry when the grain, grass, horses, and weapons have not yet arrived! Do we mean to eat the people? Without the support of the people, how far can we go? Emperor Jianwen holds the world in his hands, how can he sit back and watch us wait? in spite of?"
Just when Zhu Gaoxu was about to refute Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di stood up and shouted: "That's enough!"
Zhu Di's eyes showed unwillingness and said: "We will discuss this matter back to the feudal territory."
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen did not lie down drunk, but looked at the memorials from various places. Fortunately, there were no major events during this period, and it could be said that the country was peaceful and the people were safe.
Shuangxi came over and reported, "Your Majesty, the Royal Horse Supervisor Zheng He is here."
Zhu Yunwen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Shuangxi to invite him.
Zheng He entered the palace and after saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, Longjiang Shipyard can indeed build large ships for long voyages, but the number of shipwrights is still too small. If we want to build large ships and scale them up, it may take several years."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said: "I have ordered to mobilize shipwrights and set up shipyards in Suzhou, Songjiang, Zhenjiang and other places to mobilize the strength of the whole country to build a long-distance fleet. Cao Guogong went south to prepare for shipbuilding."
Zheng He said quickly: "Your Majesty has thought carefully, and I have no problems. We can sail away in three years!"
Zhu Yunwen frowned. Three years is a long time.
However, the matter of the voyage is complicated and cannot be rushed.
"I appoint you as the Deputy Chief of the Navy. You can select 10,000 troops from the Navy to form a voyage fleet and start training first. Tell the Chief of the Navy Chen Xuan that I allow you to choose anyone."
"In addition, first train in rivers and lakes, and when appropriate, enter the sea for training. Go south to Guangzhou, transport goods back and forth, and go through many winds and waves before you can grow. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, come to me directly."
Zhu Yunwen arranged seriously.
Zheng He thanked him excitedly.
The emperor has already considered everything he has considered. What else is there to ask for?
Get ready for the voyage!
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and continued to deal with the memorial. He seemed to feel something. When he saw Shuangxi staring at the direction where Zheng He was going, he asked, "Why are you so dazed?"
Shuangxi was suddenly startled and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Okay, I'm just asking a question. Just answer me properly. You don't have to kneel down every now and then."
Zhu Yunwen frowned.
Shuangxi stood up quickly and said: "Our family can supervise construction and command troops just by seeing Zheng's palm seal. I feel envious. I never thought that a disabled person can also make great achievements."
Zhu Yunwen chuckled and said: "In this world, everyone has their place. Your place is to accompany me well, and his place is to open up new routes."
Shuangxi naturally understands this.
After Zhu Yunwen dealt with the memorial, he arranged for it to be handed over to the General Affairs Department. Then he stretched his tired body and walked out of Wuying Hall accompanied by Shuangxi.
The bright moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight quietly illuminates the Ming Palace.
The quiet and cool autumn night makes people feel comfortable.
Ma Enhui walked over slowly and said to Zhu Yunwen, who was looking at the bright moon in ecstasy: "Is the emperor in a state of elegance?"
"Yaxing?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Ma Enhui bitterly.
Ma Enhui was a little tipsy, looked at Zhu Yunwen with blurred eyes, and said: "In such a festive season, doesn't the Emperor intend to add a good story?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head helplessly, looked at Mingyue, and thought for a moment, this was not the Tang and Song Dynasties, so he could plagiarize the poems of Li Bai and Su Shi and pretend to be romantic.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were not many poets who were as famous as those in the Tang and Song dynasties. For example, the three great poets in the early Ming Dynasty, Song Lian, Liu Ji, and Gao Qi, are not known to many future generations.
Later, although Li Menglong, Wang Shizhen, Li Zhi, Yuan Kai, Wang Fuzhi, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, etc. all have poems and lyrics that have been handed down to the world, Zhu Yunwen memorized not many of them.
There is a piece of work by Wang Shizhen that is suitable for this situation.
Zhu Yuntian shamelessly used it directly. The Ming Dynasty belongs to Lao Tzu, so Wang Shizhen’s poems are nothing. Besides, it was still more than a hundred years before Wang Shizhen was born...
"It's bright and clear, I don't know how much it is, the clouds and sunny days are rounded off.
There is no need to talk about the waxing and waning of clouds and sunshine, and we are happy to have a good time in the world.
It's a good time, I hope you can see the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. "
Zhu Yunwen read slowly.
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise. Although she knew he had some talent, she was still a little surprised to hear such philosophical poems.
"It's a good time, I hope you can see the Mid-Autumn moon every year. I also have this wish."
Ma Enhui said happily.
Zhu Yunwen took Ma Enhui in his arms and looked at the bright moon. It was round now, but it would be incomplete in a few days.
