First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Needless to say, there are many things, but Zhu Biao is not incapable of understanding Zhu Di. It is not a simple matter to seek to conquer the world, and it is even more rebellious to succeed the big one with a small one.

If Zhu Yunwen really escaped from the palace, it is not absolutely hopeless to wait for a suitable time to raise his arms and rise to the throne. Zhu Di's background is too weak, especially in civil servants. After all, he was born as King Sai, and there are too many officials in various states None of the townspeople are under his sect.

Zhu Yunwen is indeed an idiot in some respects, but being able to be considered by Lao Zhu to inherit the Sheji Ancestral Temple means that he is not a useless person.

Revise strict regulations to rectify unjust and wrong cases during the Hongwu period, exempt local tax arrears, relieve disasters and help the people, order the government to redeem the lives of those who sold their sons into slavery, and order monks and Taoists to own no more than five acres of tax-free land. distributed to the people who needed the land.

These measures are very unfriendly to Wu Xun and the monks. This is why the more Zhu Di fights, the more powerful he will be. Lord, it's a pity that they are not good at military affairs after all, and they can't turn the tide when the collapsed building is about to collapse.

Zhu Yunwen is still too young and too politically inclined. As a monarch, what can he do if his butt is too crooked.

You must know what kind of character Zhu Yuanzhang is. Although he killed Lan Yu and other arrogant soldiers who were difficult for his grandson to subdue, how could he not leave any good generals to his successors.

Xu Yungong, Qu Neng, Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Bu Wan, Zhuang De, Tie Xuan, Li Jian, Mei Yin, Wu Gao, He Fu, Zhou Xing, Liu Zhen, etc. are all the group of generals who protect the heir apparent through actual combat. It can be said that famous generals gathered and stars have repeatedly pushed Zhu Di into desperation.

But these people have not been reused by Zhu Yunwen. After he ascended the throne, this brat believed that governing the world depends on the gentry and princes after all. He believed that the rule of his grandfather would greatly endanger the dynasty. Authority, which can only be corrected by removing the semi-autonomous vassals.

This is the beginning of the founding of the country. Although the founder of the country, Wu Xun, was killed half of his life by Lao Zhu, it is still too early for Wu to decline and Wensheng...

Zhu Biao knew this very well. Although he promoted and appointed many civil servants, and expressed his importance to civil servants and Confucian scholars many times, he continued to be kind to military commanders and nobles.

Civil servants are like the Yangtze River, and military generals are like the Yellow River. The Yangtze River is clear and the Yellow River is turbid, but they will both irrigate the fields on both sides of the river, moisten the country, protect the people, and neither can be neglected.

The same is true for Zhu Di, one is the blood of his father, Emperor Gu Lian, and Zhu Biao couldn't bear to lose his son in his prime, even if this son has never been very pleasing.

The two are that Zhu Di is indeed useful, and Zhu Biao is also confident that he can make good use of him, not to mention that they are all sent to Korea now, and it will only go further in the future.

The third is the relationship between brothers in these years. If there are no first two, this is nothing, a younger brother, and there are more than ten in this palace, so what is there to cherish?

But with the first two, this one has some weight. After all, people are more ruthless than grass and trees. If it is necessary to be cruel, then forget it. If it is not necessary, then it is not a good thing.

A king cannot tolerate others, and a king cannot be indecisive, but the most important thing for a king is to be able to sit firmly in his position, and to have enough power to control the palace, court, army, locality, and vassal state.

There are so many smart people in the world, and the imperial court is the place where the smartest people in the world gather. The emperor can be bad but not stupid.

……………

This is Jiang... the secret melody for you. The last general has never disclosed it without authorization. There may be inside information.

On the face of it, Jiang Yu was dismissed from his post and exiled in Fengyang. He has no official or job. He doesn't know how to address him at this moment. It would be a bit ungrateful to call him by his first and last name. After all, Jiang Yu also took good care of him when he was in office.

What's more, the crown prince didn't dislike Jiang Yu at all, and the affairs of the Beijing camp were done decently, and there will be a time to revive him in the future, but calling him my lord is a bit too flattering.

The title of adult, before the Spring and Autumn Period, an adult refers to a person with a large body, such as Fangfeng's family in Shanhaijing. In the Spring and Autumn Period, an adult is no longer a simple distinction of size, but a person with noble morals, an official who occupies dreams.

During the Warring States period, it refers to those who have noble blood and noble conduct. In the Han Dynasty, it mostly refers to the parents and elders. In the Tang Dynasty, it was only used to call the parents. In some cases, it can be used to call the elders of the direct blood relatives. Words referring to the eyes from the side, rather than calling each other when meeting each other, and calling adults when meeting each other, began in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and flooded the ears of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Liu Jin took the secret letter and presented it, Zhu Biao took a look at the sealing wax, then picked up the fire white jade dragon hook handle book knife and cut it open, took out the letter and quickly read it.

Jiang Yu took more than a hundred of the most outstanding youths from Quanxu and brought them to Korea. The Jinyiwei that Zhu Biao spent so much resources to cultivate would be overkill if it was only used to monitor domestic civil and military affairs.

Here is a general description of their group's movements in the past few months. After successfully reuniting with Jiang Side, everything went smoothly. Whether the two of them had any conflict of interest, they naturally wanted to form a good relationship.

At present, Naha is fighting with all his strength, and he has also coerced many Jurchen tribes. Even if Li Chenggui commanded properly, when the defense line was defeated, many cavalry rushed into the hinterland of Koryo to plunder and slaughter.

This is not a big deal, the dispatch of local garrisons is the encirclement and suppression. The most important problem is that the supply of food and grass is not enough. Due to the corruption of the Goryeo Dynasty, the food and grass that was originally planned to last for more than half a year has been lost in just two or three days. The month is in a hurry.

Li Renren ordered the forced requisition of the grain that the people depended on for their livelihood, causing frequent rebellions, but in the end the grain and grass transported to the front line was only a mere hundred thousand shi...

Zhu Biao couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this. The front is tight and the rear is tight. How can the country not be chaotic?

Li Renren, a high-ranking pillar minister, may see it clearly, but the clansmen below him and officials from other noble families in Goryeo will not miss such a good opportunity. Everyone thinks that the imperial court expropriates so much, and I take a little. ?

You take a little, he takes a little, and I take a little, and there is only a little left in the end. There is no need to laugh at Goryeo. This kind of situation will happen to any country. Human nature is like this.

The last is the news about Zhu Di. It turned out that Zhu Di had been prepared for a long time. The arrow only scratched his left arm. Although the arrow was poisonous, the wound was neither deep nor strong. In addition, the imperial doctor took care of it very quickly, and it did not affect his actions at all. .

Being severely injured and bedridden is the news that Zhu Di released by himself. It seems that he wants to see who is behind the scenes. Standing outside the game, Zhu Biao thinks that anyone is possible, let alone Zhu Di who is in the game.

After all, Zhu Di's identity is different. The person who did the black hands didn't even dare to use too strong poison, for fear that he would accidentally kill him, and then he would not be able to eat it and walk around.

They can't afford the death of a prince. At that time, there will be no need for any evidence. All suspects will be buried with him, and the emperor's angry floating corpse will be proved.

Zhu Biao casually threw the letter on the desk, and Liu Jin stepped forward and carefully put it away. Such a confidential letter had to be brought back to the Wenhua Palace to be sealed, and it would be stored for at least three or four years before being burned.

Nahachu was indeed launching a fierce offensive in accordance with the agreement, regardless of the cost, and his troops were rapidly depleting. According to the secret report sent by Liaodong a few days ago, all the Jurchen ministries had already begun to disagree.

During Nahachu's reign in Liaodong, the extremely oppressive policies of the Yuan Dynasty were still used against the Jurchen ministries. A large number of young and strong were collected as soldiers, and many bans were imposed to collect taxes.

Now that Nahachu's strength has been greatly reduced, all the Jurchen ministries have seen the opportunity and are actively communicating with Korea and Daming. As soon as the conditions are agreed, they will raise troops to attack Nahachu's lair and destroy Nahachu.

After all, the Jurchen was the nation that established the Jin Dynasty. Although it has been enslaved by the Mongols for more than a hundred years, it still has the ambition of revival. It is exactly the same as the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo, that is, willing to bow their heads and pay tribute, but only Daming and Goryeo Part of Liaodong was planned to be autonomous to him.
