I want to be a grandson

Chapter 41
When it was the anniversary of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Di pretended to be sick and refused to go to the capital in order to prevent the imperial court from imprisoning and slaughtering himself by offering sacrifices.

Instead, he sent his three sons as representatives to the court to participate in Taizu worship activities.

As soon as the three brothers of the Zhu family entered the capital, Qi Tai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, suggested that Emperor Jianwen take the three brothers as hostages in order to restrain Zhu Di in the subsequent reduction of the feudal clan, and let him be cautious and dare not act rashly.

But Huang Zicheng, Emperor Jianwen's confidant, didn't think so!

"Huang Zicheng said: "Impossible. If you feel it, you will be famous first, and you will be prepared; if you send him back, you will have no doubts. Then you will send him back. Seek regrets, and send people to catch up." "Ming Taizong Veritable Records"

This means that if they are detained, the king of Yan will have a reason to rebel, so it is better to let them go back, so as not to make the king of Yan suspicious.

So he let the three brothers go back smoothly, but then he regretted it, and immediately sent someone to chase after him, but they had already run away without a trace.

The result was that two months later, Zhu Di officially rebelled, without any scruples or scruples.

With this IQ, it's hard to doubt that Huang Zicheng is not a spy!

Moreover, Huang Zicheng's vision was not good. At that time, Geng Bingwen was defeated on the battlefield, so he immediately changed his generals on the battlefield and elected Cao Guogong Li Jinglong as the coach.

Changing generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists!

Do you think Li Jinglong is really good?

That is a character known as a super spy and transport captain!

When Zhu Di heard that the imperial court appointed Li Jinglong as the general to counter the rebellion, he was not afraid of being overjoyed.

He smiled and said to the generals: "Li Jinglong is short-planned and conceited. He looks tough, but he is timid. He is mean, jealous and self-righteous. The imperial court entrusted him with the power of commanding the army. God helped me!"

The facts are just as Zhu Di said, although Li Jinglong has an army of 50, he has no way to manage the army and is timid and afraid of fighting.

The army of the imperial court was separated from top to bottom, with repeated defeats and repeated losses. After Li Jinglong was defeated in Jinan, the power of the imperial court and the Yan army had reversed. The situation of the imperial court was precarious, so Li Jinglong had to be removed.

However, Emperor Jianwen made a fuss about it, which was simply incomprehensible.

He didn't punish Li Jinglong at all!
As a result, when the Yan army attacked Nanjing, Li Jinglong opened the door and surrendered first, welcomed the Yan army into the city, and dealt a fatal blow to Emperor Jianwen.

But Huang Zicheng also has a loyal side.

After he was taken to Nanjing, Zhu Di personally interrogated him and reprimanded him for inciting the imperial court to cut down the vassal, against himself.

Huang Zicheng didn't know if he was really not afraid of death, or because he knew that he would never escape being killed and wanted to make a good reputation.

He made a generous statement and scolded Zhu Di for rebellion and usurpation.

Zhu Di was furious at being scolded by him, and ordered him to be dismembered and killed, and the nine clans were exterminated.

"Zi Cheng arrived, and Cheng Zu personally questioned him. He resisted and was unyielding, and died. All the elders of the clan were beheaded, and all married parties were guarded at the border."

So even if this person is a bit bloody, it's hard to cover up his incompetent waste!
At that time, my friend said that Zhu Yunqi was actually a mean, ungrateful and sinister person, but I didn't believe it at that time!
Later, after an explanation, I learned that after the failure of the Northern Expedition, Zhu Di's letter to the court said that he wanted the Qing emperor to side.

This is an excuse for a discerning person.

As a result, Zhu Yunqi's benevolent and weak personality made Zhu Yunqi naively think that as long as Zhu Di Xingshi's excuse of asking for crimes was removed, he could implement a strategy of delaying troops.

So he followed the requirements of Zhu Di's letter, and in name to the outside world "dismissed Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Huang Zicheng, Minister of Taichang Temple, to speak to the people of Yan".

Emperor Jianwen let go of Qi and Huang at the critical moment, which has all kinds of disadvantages and no advantages.

Doesn't this make civil and military officials alienated from their virtues!
The third Northern Expedition achieved a certain victory, especially after the Dongchang victory, Zhu Yunqi immediately restored the two of them to their posts.

Then Jianwen failed again on the battlefield for three years, so Zhu Yunqi let the two of them be honorably laid off again.

And this time the attack was too ruthless, "You Si has already recorded his home", that is, Qi and Huang were "ransacked"!

The cowardly Emperor Jianwen had a little difficulty in the military, so he had to use the "treacherous officials" criticized by his political enemies to "surge" in order to please the traitor Zhu Di, so as to achieve the purpose of delaying troops.

Take a look, what a mean and ungrateful emperor this is!

The point is that Qi Tai is just like this, and he went to recruit soldiers to rescue him.

Too pit!
Now that he knew what Huang Zicheng was like in history, how could Zhu Yunxi still have the idea of ​​taking him into account?How could he not try to jump out of the pit?
This kind of person can kill himself!

In this way, Zhu Yunqi can still maintain a good impression in front of Lao Zhu. I have to say that this acting is at the level of an actor!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was blindfolded by him!
Thinking of those eunuchs and maids standing far away, I realized that if the acting is good, it is easy to deceive Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears.

After all, he thought that the East Palace was his family, so he was too defensive.

As a result, people took advantage of the loopholes!
Forget it, the most important thing now is to get rid of the relationship!

Then leave another big hole!
Brother, don't blame my brother for cheating you, I have no other choice, I really don't want to be cheated to death by you!

Don't worry, we are kind in our hearts, we won't kill you!

So Zhu Yunxi rushed to the Jinshen Hall to see Zhu Yuanzhang angrily, and the eunuchs and maids who passed by along the way were cautious, lest something bad happen.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also at a loss when he heard the eunuch's report that it was the grandson of the third emperor who asked to see him.

After being informed and entering, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly bowed, and said impatiently: "Grandpa, the grandson needs to have his own companion!"

Seeing that his face was flushed with anger, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, and said amusedly: "Who is this that made our emperor's grandson angry? It's not easy to make our emperor's grandson angry. We have to reward him well!"

Zhu Yunxi said angrily: "Grandpa, grandson is serious! Grandson needs to change to a companion. There are so many editors in the Imperial Academy, you can just find one."

Zhu Yuanzhang still said with a smile: "What's the matter, did the companion in the East Palace make you angry? You are still angry with your brother."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that although the companions of the East Palace refer to the prince's companions, they are also responsible for teaching the emperor's grandson to read and learn Confucian classics.

And the companions of the East Palace are mainly responsible for teaching Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yunqi is only studying together, and their focus must not be on him.

Now that Zhu Yun wants his own "companion", then either he has a conflict with Donggong's companion, or he is at odds with Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunxi said: "It's not about being angry or not, but about Huang..." He stopped quickly when he said this, his lips moved, hesitating for a while, and swallowed what he wanted to say.

He changed his mouth and said: "Anyway, it's not about my brother's business at all. This matter has nothing to do with him! It's my grandson who also wants to study hard. If you want... Grandfather, please promise me!"

What a shrewd person Zhu Yuanzhang was, he noticed that there was something wrong in his words, but he didn't say anything, so Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he said: "Okay, our emperor's grandson also knows that he has worked hard. This is a good thing. Later, we will send a companion to study in the East Palace to give you lectures, okay?"

　Asking for support...
