Chapter 47
If Zhu Yunxi wants to seize the throne, is it necessary to try every means to win the "favor" of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang?
People always change!
How many princes and princes who were originally favored in history were still abolished in the end!
This is called Sacred Heart dictatorship!
This is called the unfathomable power of the sky.

And if you really want to let yourself be obedient, follow Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes in everything, and flatter you, maybe you may get the throne.

But I can't do it myself!
As a person who came from later generations, the information is too developed, how can there be too much awe of the imperial power and the emperor!

Kneeling and licking is impossible!

We also have backbone, okay?

It's difficult, so it's not so easy to fight for the throne!
"My minister sees Your Highness!"

Zhu Yun was thinking, and when he was at a loss, Qi De had already left the Jinshen Hall and came to salute in front of him.

"No courtesy, Mr. Qi doesn't need to be too polite." Zhu Yunxi said after recovering.

Qi De said gratefully: "I would like to thank Your Highness for recommending in front of the emperor. I am really grateful..."

Seeing that he was so happy, Zhu Yunxi knew that he must have been approved by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he asked: "If you want to thank, please thank Grandpa Huang. It is his insight, and it is your own ability. This king is just a little effort, Grandpa Huang." How to say?"

There was a smile on Qi De's face, and his face was slightly red because of excitement, "Reporting to Your Highness, Your Majesty promoted this humble minister to be a doctor of the Ministry of War, and... bestowed the name Tai..."

"What! You said that Grandpa Huang gave you a name?!" Zhu Yunxi's eyes widened and he asked hurriedly in astonishment.

Qi De happily replied: "Yes, Your Highness, thanks to His Highness's recommendation, a humble official can receive this honor..."

"It's not this! You said Grandpa Huang gave you the name Qitai?" Zhu Yunxie asked in shock.

Qi De thought he didn't understand, and quickly explained: "The emperor named Qitai to the humble minister, taking the meaning of eternal stability, peace of the country and peace of the people... In the "Book of Changes Tai Gua", it is said that the heaven and the earth will be peaceful...

It is recorded in "The Book of Songs Xiaoya": Haotiantaitai... And Confucius said in "The Analects": A gentleman is peaceful but not arrogant. ...Your Highness, what a good name His Majesty gave you! ...

Qi Tai was eloquently talking about the origin of the name, praising Zhu Yuanzhang for his erudition and talents, and his face was radiant.

He didn't notice Zhu Yunxi's expression at all.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

At this moment, he felt bitter in his heart.

Just now I was proud that I avoided Huang Zicheng's big pit!

In the end you are waiting for me here!

It turns out that Qi Tai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in history, is Qi De now!

Some time ago, I watched a TV series, which talked about Qi Tai.

But the acting there was Ling Ran's righteousness, holding Zhu Yunqi's jade pendant and scolding Yan Wang Zhu Di bloody, it's really admirable!
Even if you are not familiar with history, you know that when Emperor Jianwen cut down the vassal, there were two ministers who supported him, one was Huang Zicheng, who was incompetent and relied on his mouth.

The other is Qi Tai who is the Minister of War!

But unlike Huang Zicheng, he has real skills!

In the 18th year of Ming Hongwu's Jinshi, he was the head of the Ministry of Rites, and soon became the head of the Ministry of War.

In the 28th year of Hongwu, Lei Zhen entered the palace, and Qi Tai was selected to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang to the ancestral temple for offering sacrifices because he had been an official for nine years without fault.

Ming Taizu saw that he was fluent in his answers to military strategy and border defense, and he was very insightful. Since then, he has paid special attention to him. Hong Wu was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of War in 28 years.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "The Taizu tried to ask the names of the border generals, and there are countless Thai records. He also asked about all the books and books, and took out the manual in his sleeve. It is brief and detailed, and it is amazing."

In the 31st year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang was dying, Qi Tai was recruited to Gu Ming to assist the emperor's grandson Zhu Wen.

After Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, Qi Tai was promoted by the new emperor to be Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was ordered to participate in state affairs with Huang Zicheng and participate in the reduction of feudal vassals.

Therefore, Qi Tai was not regarded as the minister of Zhu Yunqi's hidden residence, but was selected by Zhu Yuanzhang to assist his grandson.

It may also be because of this reason that Zhu Yunqi believes in Huang Zicheng very much, and Qitai is a little distant.

Therefore, many of Qi Tai's suggestions were rejected by Emperor Jianwen, but later history proved that Qi Tai was indeed right.

Just like Qi Tai suggested to attack Zhu Di, the king of Yan first, and capture the king first, but Huang Zicheng suggested to attack the five Anle princes.

In the end, despite being let down by Emperor Jianwen in many ways and being dismissed from office and ransacked his home, after the capital was captured by the Yan army, Qi Tai fled to other counties in an attempt to rebuild Emperor Wen's foundation.

In the end, Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru were unyielding and were killed by Zhu Di.

Qi Tai's cousin Qi Jingzong and others were all executed, and his uncles Qi Shiyong and Qi Yangyan were sent to the frontier.Qi Tai's son was only six years old, so he was spared from death and was not released until Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty was pardoned.

So Qi Tai is capable, but he has not been reused by Emperor Jianwen.

This is also the helplessness of the courtiers, no matter how good the strategy is, it is useless for others to use it.

And also believe in Zhu Yuanzhang's vision.

Count how many people Zhu Yuanzhang gave names to and you will know!
But no matter what, Zhu Yunxi decided that Qi Tai was an unstable factor!

Because he is his own "accompanying reader", he is his own person. If he also reveals his thoughts of cutting the feudal clan, and is caught and stabbed to Zhu Yuanzhang, he will definitely implicate himself, and then he will be so sad!

Others would not say that it was Qi Tai's own idea, they would only say that he ordered it, and at the very least, he supported and agreed to cut down the feudal clan!
The problem is whether Qi Tai has the idea of ​​cutting the feudal clan now, no one can say for sure!

Talented but dangerous, delicious but poisonous, wanting but afraid of getting hurt... This is Zhu Yunxi's mood at this time!

After thinking about it, I still feel that the farther away from such a person, the better. I haven't reached the point where I can disregard attacks and disregard criticism, and my ability to resist attacks is too weak now.

At this time, it is better to be cautious than anything else!
Therefore, Zhu Yunxie's face became a little colder, and he nodded and said: "Then congratulations to Lord Qi, from now on, Lord Qi will just work hard for the court... This king has something to do with the emperor, so I will take my leave first."

"Your Highness is being polite."

Zhu Yunxi hummed lightly, bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and left.

"Yunxi, the Qi De you recommended is not bad. By the way, I just changed his name to Qi Tai. You must know that this name is very particular... Qi De was very happy when he heard that."

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously also very satisfied in his heart, and he explained endlessly, but in Zhu Yunxi's view, this was the old man's nagging patient.

Thinking he had done something, he started nagging and showing off.

"Yes, the name chosen by Grandpa Huang is really learned! Grandson admires it! He must be happy, even if Grandpa Huang gave him a random name, he wouldn't dare not be unhappy..."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said with a straight face: "How to call it casually, the name I gave is very particular! Do you understand it? You can see how happy he is! There is a lot of knowledge in it!"

Zhu Yunxi quickly made an apology and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Grandpa Huang is right!"

Then he turned to Qing Tong and said, "Eunuch Qing, Grandpa Huang gave you the name Qing Jiaojiao, are you happy or not?"

Qing Tong immediately had a smile on his face, and said quickly: "The slaves are happy! As long as the name is given by Long Live, the slaves are happy!"

"Uh……"

 Regarding the title of "adult",

  After the Song Dynasty, there were many cases of referring to officials as "adults".For example, Gao Zecheng, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, said in "Pipa Ji" that Cai Zhuangyuan called Huangmen an adult, so the high officials in Yuan Dynasty were already called adults.

  According to Ming Yinzhi's "Jianzhai Trivial Records", Wu Yubi was recruited to Beijing as a scholar, and when he saw a scholar-bureaucrat, he was called an adult.

  It is also recorded in "Yongzhuang Essays" that Xu Xi started his official career as an official and went to Shangshu.Xu Xi said to the second couplet: "Bite open the ginkgo, and there is an adult in white clothes."

  According to Wang Shizhen's "Gubugulu", the third department called the governor "Old Mister" when seeing the governor, and "Mr. Sir" when seeing the patrol.
