Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 205 - Chapter 203
Zhu Yuanzhang had been frugal all his life, and finally he was generous at Zhu Biao's funeral. The Ministry of Rites and the clan's mansion also spent money and food to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang, all they wanted was to satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang.

The coffin of golden nanmu was parked for 27 days before it was moved into the funeral palace, waiting for the auspicious day for burial.

After another two months, Zhu Biao was buried in the imperial tomb in a grand manner.

So far, the funeral is completely over.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the performance of all his princes and grandsons in his eyes. Some people satisfied him, while others disgusted him. Moreover, he also knew that the matter of the prince had caused waves in the court. And it's getting worse.

Wenchen, Wu Xun, and the prince, everyone has their own thoughts, and these various thoughts, plus the various forces attached to the thoughts, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it seems to be an undercurrent surging and extremely chaotic. The sea, even if the sea surface is calm, does not know when, the undercurrent will rush out of the sea surface, and then set off monstrous waves.

If Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he might still be willing to fish for a while, and when the big waves rise, he will wipe out the waves with one hand, but he is old, and now he only thinks about making the world safe and stable, and thinking about the Ming Dynasty he built To pass on smoothly.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine a new crown prince as soon as possible to prevent the situation from developing to the point of inestimability.

But who should we stand for?

The eldest son has a son, so Zhu Yuanzhang naturally took the lead in considering Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxie.

Zhu Yunxi?
When Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it, a great victory report from Sichuan sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk shouting all the way. Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and saw that the blue jade army was like a broken bamboo, smashing the rebel Yuelu Timur, and Yuelu Timur fled to Baixingzhou At that time, Lan Yu led the army to pursue him, and captured Yuelu and his son intelligently. Now they have been bundled and sent to the capital for disposal.

What a powerful one, what a smart capture of Yuelu and his son.

After reading the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but want to praise Lan Yu.

When the army arrived, in just a few months, the rebellion instigated by Yuelu Timur was quickly cut up, and it was solved cleanly, leaving no trace of trouble. This sapphire is really invincible in the world General.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's mood sank.

This Lan Yu used to be Zhu Biao's wife-in-law, so arrogant that even the other princes dared not look at her. If Zhu Yunxi was established, Lan Yu would not fly to the sky relying on her uncle's status?
Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of monarchs being weak and ministers being strong, but which one of the weak monarchs has come to a good end?Counting on the loyalty of strong ministers?Hmph, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a rebel, would not count on it at all.

Even if Sapphire doesn't have any intentions, is it possible that Sapphire's subordinates will not imitate a Chen Qiao mutiny?
Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang rejected Zhu Yunxi, no matter how good Zhu Yunxi was, he would not give Lan Yu any more influence.

Li Zhu Yunwen?

Thinking of Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help showing a trace of kindness on the corners of his mouth. These days Zhu Yunqi often cared for him, and even stayed with him when he was sad. He couldn't deny that he loved Zhu Yunqi a little bit.

Zhu Yunqi's mother's family is not big, and his grandfather is Lu Ben, the minister of Taichang Temple. Although some civil servants also joined forces to support Zhu Yunqi, some civil servants can't make any big trouble in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. It is true that civil servants are needed to govern, and Zhu Yunqi is sincere, filial, gentle and elegant, so he is also suitable to be a benevolent and righteous king.

Daming cannot always conquer, but always needs to recuperate.

But how can Zhu Yunqi keep Sapphire alive? !

Zhu Yuanzhang was in some trouble.

Just when he was in trouble, Zhu Di's figure appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. This son is very like him, brave and resourceful, and he grew up in the military since he was a child, and he was taught by Xu Da. What he does is also a model.

He behaved well these days, and never made any oversteps. Not only did he respect his elder brother, but he was also quite friendly to his nephew.

This son is not bad, if Zhu Di is established, Sapphire will no longer be a problem, Zhu Di doesn't say that he lives in Sapphire, at least he is not afraid of Sapphire.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned some close ministers to discuss in secret, and when they arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and went straight to the center of the topic.

"Now that the crown prince is dead, the eldest grandson is weak and does nothing. If he succeeds to the throne in the future, I am afraid that the world will change. Therefore, I want to make King Yan the heir to inherit the weight of the world. What do you think?"

The people below were shocked. To be honest, they have not lived happily these years. The only hope is that Zhu Biao will take over the position to ease the world, but unfortunately, they can't wait for that day.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to establish Zhu Di, their first thought is that they are not happy. Who doesn't know that Zhu Di is very martial, if Zhu Di is in power, they will be better than they are now.

But they didn't know how to persuade them, and some of them knew how to persuade them, but they didn't dare to speak out. Zhu Yuanzhang's knife is really fast.

But there is one person who is not afraid, a Hanlin bachelor stepped forward at this time.

His name is Liu Sanwu, he shook his head at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said loudly: "I report to Your Majesty, this matter is very inappropriate."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Liu Sanwu.

Liu Sanwu said calmly: "If the king of Yan is established, may I ask where your Majesty will put the two kings of Qin and Jin, and the eldest grandson is fifteen years old, and he can already inherit the throne."

This sentence is very simple.

But the meaning hidden inside is not simple.

Where to put the two kings of Qin and Jin means that how can there be an elder and a younger one, and won't the royal children fight and kill each other?Another sentence, the eldest grandson can inherit the big position, means that there is an adult son in the lineage of the eldest son, why not stand up?
If the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty established the crown prince, there would be no rules like this. Do you want the future throne of the Ming Dynasty to be accompanied by blood?
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and waved these people back irritably.

He was troubled into the night.

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang burned incense and prayed to God.

Wisps of green smoke rose and slowly merged into the world. Zhu Yuanzhang bowed silently for a long time, and thought for a long time in his heart, and finally made up his mind.

He wants to make his grandson Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson.

Then...

Sapphire should be killed.

After Zhu Yuanzhang made his decision, it seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang was back when he was young. The Zhu Yuanzhang who fought with the sky, fought with people, and licked blood with the knife head without fear came back.

With gray hair, he slowly straightened his waist again.

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's whole body was full of murderous aura. He glanced at the outside world with deep eyes, and said in his heart: It's okay for the eldest grandson to be weak, we are still here, and we will give him a safe and secure country.

Start with sapphire.

Immediately, the resolute Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to fetch the good news from Lanyu during the day. He approved Lanyu and allowed Lanyu to set up a guard in Baixingzhou, trying to stabilize Lanyu first.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think about how to do this matter.

Lan Yu had just won a big victory, so he couldn't take it for no reason. Since he wanted to do it, he needed a reason, a reason that could wipe out Lan Yu and others.

next moment.

Ye Sheng's name flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
