Honghuang: I am an iron-eating beast, and I was overheard by Houtu

Chapter 896 Gao Chi Governs the Family, Reborn Black Bear (Two in One)

Tong Tian stared at the black robe for a long time, and finally, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

I have my own teachings, so I can be regarded as the one who has the least prejudice against the demons among the saints, but these demons, after the failure of Wutian Hedao, knew that he had no future, and turned their backs on him one by one. Escaping for his life, this kind of behavior is extremely shameless in his own opinion.

Originally, Tongtian wanted to enlighten the black robe after teaching him a lesson, let him correct his evil ways and become his own disciple, but now it seems that he should go as far as he can.

Immediately, Tong Tian waved his big hand, threw the black robe out, and said: "Go away, don't let me see you again."

Well, there are too many fleeing demons, it would be unfair to catch one but not the others.It's inappropriate to catch them all. After all, there is always a chance of life. These demons want to escape, and I shouldn't stop them.

Stumbling in the chaos, the black robe stood firm, bowed to Tongtian, then quickly turned around and flew away, and soon disappeared.

"Hmph!" Watching him go away, Tongtian snorted softly, then turned his head and continued to look at Honghuang.

……

world.

The war between Daming and Beiyuan was in full swing. After several months of fighting, Zhu Di finally defeated the tribes of Beiyuan and extended the territory of Daming to the north. At the same time, many grassland tribes chose to surrender to Daming. Accept Daming's canonization.

This kind of surrender is not like the ancient Central Plains kingdoms, where the winner receives everything from the loser. The leaders of those grassland tribes still control their land and population, and they only surrendered to Daming in name.

In the future, if Da Ming weakens, they may rebel at any time and attack Da Ming again.

However, for the current national power of Ming Dynasty, it is enough to be able to do this.No matter how much you want to do, completely take over the territories of those tribes, let alone whether the army can do it, the common people will definitely not be able to afford it.

Some generals wrote a letter saying that the people should be put under more pressure at this moment, so that they can lead the Ming army to completely defeat the grassland tribes in one go, but Zhu Gaochi disagrees with the military.

He believes that there is no crime in the present, but merit in the future.

If there is no contemporary, how can there be future generations?

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hadn't been assisted by Huo Guang, the great man would have died in his hands.

Zhu Gaochi didn't have Huo Guang under him, and he couldn't despise the people like Emperor Wu, and he didn't regret it until his later years.One generation should do well the work of one generation. For this generation, protect the common people and create a good environment for future generations as much as possible.

As for whether future generations can do better on their own basis, that is the business of their generation.

Squeezing the people of this generation to death so that the people of later generations can live a good life, Zhu Gaochi couldn't do such a thing, and he didn't think the emperor who did it was a wise king.

The emperor can suffer himself, but he cannot make the people suffer.If the common people of today can't manage it well, it will be left to future generations. Isn't that causing trouble?

Immediately, Zhu Gaochi dismissed the generals' requests and ordered the war to stop.

In addition, Zheng He's request to travel around the Western Ocean also made Zhu Gaochi hesitate.

It takes a lot of money to start a war with Beiyuan, and the same goes for sailing to the west. After all, there is a problem with Ming Dynasty's etiquette system. When others give us something, we often have to return it back three times or even four times. This kind of business is not easy to do. .

Well, it has to be changed!

Also, the Silk Road of Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Dingyuan in ancient times, did bring a lot of benefits to the Han Dynasty. It may be that Zheng He led a caravan to the West...

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi nodded, and decided to give it a try. He agreed to Zheng He's request, but he had to wait until next year when the national treasury became richer. Don't think about it this year. Just after the war, how could he spend so much money? Build a ship for him and build a caravan?
Immediately, Zhu Gaochi wrote the word "to be discussed" on Zheng He's memorial, and then continued to deal with other memorials.

At this time, a eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, the empress is here."

The queen, that is, Zhu Gaochi's wife Zhang.When he was the son of King Yan, he married his wife under Zhu Di's arrangement. After he became the emperor, his wife naturally became the queen.

"Please come in, queen." Zhu Gaochi ordered.

"Yes." As she said, a lady in fine attire soon stepped into the imperial study room. After she entered, she didn't salute first, but asked Zhu Gaochi directly: "You, the emperor, are diligent and diligent. , my son is almost being bullied to death by others, don't you care?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at his queen with a smile, and asked, "What happened to Zhanji?"

Mrs. Zhang blessed Zhu Gaochi casually, then found a seat for herself and sat down, complaining to him: "It's not that those two brothers, especially the second one, acted recklessly because of the emperor's favor. They Now that it is said that the emperor said to him that "the son is sick, you should encourage him", so you should follow Song Taizu in a hundred years and pass the throne to his younger brother. Hearing this, Zhanji argued with him a few times In a word, he puts on the airs of an uncle and reprimands your son, you say, do you care about this matter?"

After listening to the Queen's words, Zhu Gaochi frowned, "Your son is sick, you should encourage him", based on his understanding of Zhu Di, Zhu Di would say such words to Zhu Gaoxu.

but……

My own throne was not inherited from Zhu Di, but established by the five emperors, so it is not up to Zhu Di to decide who will take my place in the future.

Before, I felt that I was still young, and it was inappropriate to establish a prince too early. I wanted to wait for the children to grow up, test them carefully, and then choose a virtuous one to be the prince, and inherit the throne in the future. Unexpectedly, it was too late. The establishment of a prince, on the contrary, intensified the ambition of the second brother.

If he is allowed to act like this, I'm afraid the Zhu family will have civil turmoil again in the future.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi sighed, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "I know, when I go to court tomorrow, I will issue an order to confer Zhanji as the crown prince."

Hearing what Zhu Gaochi said, Mrs. Zhang showed a happy smile on her face, and said to him: "That's right, establish a son and establish a son, and Zhanji is your eldest son. You have become the emperor but you have not made him the emperor for a long time. Prince, how is this plausible? Now that the country is well established, let’s see if those villains dare to have thoughts that they shouldn’t have!”

Zhu Gaochi looked at Mrs. Zhang, and really wanted to ask her if Zhan Ji called her here, but after thinking about it, forget it, he might not tell the truth if he asked.

"Okay, go back if you have nothing else to do, I'm going to review the memorial." Zhu Gaochi was about to bow his head and continue busy with political affairs.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang said to him: "There is one more thing, the daughters-in-law of the second and third child, they have been gossiping in front of those wives during this time, saying that you, the emperor, are not filial."

"I'm not filial?" Zhu Gaochi was taken aback. After he ascended the throne, the first thing he did was respect his father as the Supreme Emperor and his mother as the Empress Dowager, and he never stopped paying his respects every day, and made various offerings. Isn't that filial?
"Hmph, those two poisonous women, they said that Fang Xiaoru scolded the Supreme Emperor in front of the Taizu in Xiaoling, and the Supreme Emperor himself said that he would kill his ten clans, but after you ascended the throne, you let Fang Xiaoru go, and you still use it very much." He. Later, the Supreme Emperor found you and asked you to kill Fang Xiaoru, but you still didn't agree. They said that you could even forgive those who insulted your father, and you could use them, saying that you didn't take the Supreme Emperor seriously. Those What, I almost pointed at your nose and said you were unfilial." Zhang complained.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's face became very ugly.

Is it unfilial to let Fang Xiaoru continue to be an official in the court without killing Fang Xiaoru?
Strictly speaking, it seems to be true, but...Fang Xiaoru is a model of Confucian scholars in the world, and a representative of loyal ministers. He is not afraid at all despite the axe and axe, and his integrity can be called a model of courtiers. Unexpectedly, who among those ministers would be loyal to Daming and the emperor, wouldn't they all have to surrender?

These two women, for the sake of Daming's Changzhi stability, forcibly endured the humiliation of humiliating their father, in their eyes they became unfilial, and even gossip, I can't spare them!
Even if he was a good guy, Zhu Gaochi couldn't bear it this time.

Thinking about it, he told Mrs. Zhang: "In this way, you go to your mother, tell her about this, and tell her that Fang Xiaoru is a great Confucian left by the Taizu. If I kill him, the world will scold me and my father." In the future, I am afraid that there will be no ministers willing to die for me. But if I keep him, the history books in the future will only write that I was disrespectful to the Supreme Emperor, and I will bear all the infamy. Those ministers saw Fang Xiaoru If you are not dead, you will also serve the future emperors without fear. Therefore, Fang Xiaoru cannot die. The two women and Taoists, Princess Han and Princess Zhao, have no vision, and love to tell lies and talk about the king. The ancients said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person They are not virtuous at all! For the sake of relatives, I will not imprison them, nor will I drive them out of the royal family, but I am afraid that they are not suitable for the position of prince and concubine. decree, to depose their concubines and concubines, and demote them to concubines."

Hearing what Zhu Gaochi said, Mrs. Zhang immediately became more happy, and said: "It's good to do this, those two guys like to tell stories, abolish their position as the prince's wife, let's see if they dare to be monsters! That emperor , the concubine is going to find the queen mother now?"

"Well, let's go." Zhu Gaochi nodded.

After receiving the reply, Mrs. Zhang got up with a smile, and with the support of her personal maid, she walked out of the imperial study and walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

……

The next day, the Empress Dowager issued a decree that the Concubine Han and the Concubine Zhao were unworthy of being the prince's official wives, and they were abolished as concubines and concubines from now on.

After hearing this decree, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but widen their eyes, with great resistance in their hearts.

This is our first wife!
The two princesses involved, no, they should be called the former princess, and even fainted on the spot.

Although concubine concubine is also called concubine, but that's just a nice name, can't be listed in the genealogy, has no status, belongs to the concubine in the concubine, and is a little bit stronger than the outer room, this... Oh my god!
"Your servant accepts the order!" I already guessed in my heart that this is the boss, that is, the current emperor. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were very angry, but because it was the order of the queen mother, they did not dare to resist the order, so they could only accept it. This decree.

Looking at their fainted wife, the two sighed, feeling distressed and helpless.

We can only wait for the opportunity to become emperor in the future, and then seal them back.

Immediately, the two began to discuss how to seek military power and make preparations for seizing the throne in the future.

The elder brother's throne was established by the five emperors, they dare not seize it, dare not rebel, but...the eldest nephew's rebellion, we can always rebel, right?

Our father brought us into Jinling City because of his nephew's rebellion. As sons, we followed our father's example and rebelled against his nephew. Who can say anything about it?

……

The imperial palace, on the eaves of Fengtian Hall.

Xiong Zhan looked into the distance, listened to the plans of King Han and King Zhao, and shook his head.

Want to gain military power, but also want to rebel, how can it be so easy?

Zhu Di was able to succeed in the rebellion because he had a good fate and gave birth to a good son, and the gods and gods himself helped him. Of course, there was also the reason why Zhu Yunqi was too rubbish. Don't even think about succeeding in the rebellion!

What Li Jinglong thought at the beginning was actually correct. How could you lose if an army of 50 hits you with [-]?

Even if you add the tens of thousands of people that Zhu Di took away at the beginning, and the 50 army hits you with [-] to [-], you can't win. You are not Xiang Yu or Han Xin.

Therefore, Xiong Zhan came to the conclusion: they are stupid.

"Heh." Thinking, Xiong Zhan made a disdainful voice, then sat down, and continued to protect Zhu Gaochi who was going up below.

……

On the other side, outside the prehistoric world.

Houtu sat cross-legged on an auspicious cloud, sensing the movements in the prehistoric world. Suddenly, she raised her hand and said, "Come here, relic!"

"Om!" Tianting, the Yin Lingzi who was still here, the relic belonging to the black bear in his arms suddenly vibrated violently, blooming a dazzling Buddha light, and then, before he could do anything, flew out, shot To the chaos.

"This……"

"There's no need to chase it." Yin Lingzi was about to chase it, when Wutian's voice suddenly came from the Lingxiao Palace, saying to him: "There is a sage who has called it over, there is no need to chase it."

Yin Lingzi turned around, wanting to explain to Wutian about the relic: "Mazu, I..."

"Yin Lingzi, there is no need to say anything. You can take those demons who don't want to leave the prehistoric world to the demon world in the north. Remember, protect the demons well." Wutian's voice continued to come from the hall, listening to the voice, He seemed to be explaining the funeral, entrusting all the demons to Yin Lingzi.

Hearing his words, Yin Lingzi's face became heavy, and after being silent for a while, he bowed to Wutian in the hall, and said solemnly: "Please don't worry, the ancestor of the demon, as long as the next breath is alive, he will definitely protect you. Mozu!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, you... go."

"Yes, Demon Ancestor, take care." Yin Lingzi said to Wutian finally, then turned around and disappeared with little fluorescent lights.

……

At the same time, close to the primordial chaos.

The black bear's relic flew into Houtu's hand, feeling the Buddha's power contained in it, Houtu smiled slightly and said, "It's unexpected that you can cultivate such a pure Buddha's power. "

After finishing speaking, Houtu threw the relic out, and operated the law of reincarnation, turning death into life. In an instant, the powerful power of the law fluctuated, and the relic burst into dazzling Buddha light, and a bear shadow slowly appeared.
