Daming heir

The prince is the perfect successor after Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty.

This point has become the consensus of the court many years ago.

Although the emperor's grandson is young, he acts out of the blue and has a strong temper, which is a bit hard to accept. But no one can deny that it was he who single-handedly put Hongwu’s New Deal on the table.

The country is getting better and better, the territory has expanded thousands of miles, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is a huge achievement, and it is a merit that no one dares to imagine.

In the eyes of many people, even if the current emperor's grandson is not a perfect emperor, as long as he continues to practice for several decades and waits for the prince to hand over the Ming Dynasty to his hands, he will be calm enough by then.

Moreover, the emperor's grandson also had the support of countless people.

Since the establishment of the military merit title system, the governor-general has followed his grandson almost wholeheartedly.

At this time, the Tian family father and son seemed to be in conflict. How should the situation of the Ming Dynasty change?

If the conflict intensifies, will Yingtian City become a place of right and wrong?

When the time comes, the Governor-General will be furious...

OK!

OK!

For a time, even though it was approaching the end of the year, many merchants were worried that the situation would worsen, so they gave up the opportunity to make money and fled Yingtian with goods and money.

Trying to avoid possible conflicts that could spill over into your own home.

Inadvertently.

There was a rare silence in Yingtian City in the past few years.

But above the court, everyone was silent.

Until things become clear, these people who have been officials for many years will not express their opinions easily.

For most officials, as long as this matter is not discussed in court, they can continue to pretend not to know.

What kind of contradiction between heaven and family?

What fight for the throne?

It has nothing to do with them.

The key is to protect yourself wisely!

But changes in the court did occur.

The emperor really no longer appeared in public. The ministers only knew that new and old envoys from the Imperial Hospital would take over and take care of him every day.

As for the emperor's holy body, no one outside the palace knows what is happening now.

The last time the emperor sneaked out of Yingtian, although the prince did not kill anyone, the palace was also tidied up.

The officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology have mentioned several times that they hope that the status of the emperor's holy body can be known to the court officials. At the worst, the cabinet ministers should be allowed to enter the palace to meet with the emperor.

This is what officials of all dynasties have done.

Even if the person in charge of the country is the prince recognized by the emperor.

However, the officials' proposal was rejected, and they were given a reprimand prohibiting them from inquiring into the royal family.

Then the prince reprimanded Ren Hengtai, the chief minister of the cabinet, in public.

The general meaning is that the cabinet leads the civil and military affairs of the court, and he, the chief assistant, has not done a good job in management. If he does not work well, he only wants to spy on the royal family.

This is very bad.

Ren Hengtai admitted in public that he had made a mistake in his work, and the matter was finally resolved.

Then there was an official document issued by the prince to recall the governor of the river Pan Deshan, the Duke of Liang Lan Yu, the prince of Kaiping County Chang Sheng, and the governor Tang Li to the capital.

Before people could react, the prince made another move.

He was promoted to Zhang Ergong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Prince Shaofu. Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Jin.

Putting these two things together, everyone instantly understood the situation.

The prince wants to dismember all the power of the grandson.

Everyone in the court fell silent.

But in the silence, attention was focused on the cabinet ministers Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi, as well as Zhili Province Governor-General Zou Xueyu.

If the prince further deals with these three people, it will completely show that the prince is suppressing his grandson.

People didn't wait long.

News came out from the cabinet that Xie Jin, the second assistant to the cabinet and a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, was ordered to go west to inspect the construction of the western railway.

Although Xie Jin has always been responsible for this matter, letting him go to the west before the end of the year undoubtedly shows the attitude of the prince.

Immediately afterwards, Cabinet Minister Gao Yangzhi ordered him to go to the southwest to handle the final matters related to the abolition of the chieftain system.

Although it is dealing with follow-up matters, everyone in the court knows that if the affairs in Southwest China are dealt with, it will not be completed within a year and a half.

All of a sudden, the two representatives of psychology supported by Taisun were taken out of the capital. At this time, everyone was extremely convinced of their original guesses.

As for why the prince did not deal with Zou Xueyu, the governor-general of Zhili Province, he may have felt that this position was close at hand and he could take it directly if there was a slight mistake. There was no need to deal with this matter at the same time.

The wind in Yingtian City began to change.

People's hearts are floating.

In front of Taisun's Mansion, it also seemed deserted.

No matter how things changed in the court, Taisun Mansion seemed extremely calm.

Every day, Zhu Yunxi goes out early to the Xicheng area and does not come back until very late.

Xicheng has now become a huge construction site.

Except for the area where Yi merchants and Yi people settled near Jinchuan Gate in Xicheng due to freight transportation, the area has not been moved.

The entire west city of Yingtian to the vicinity of the middle city was surrounded.

Several Beijing army camps originally placed on the boundaries of Xicheng have been moved outside the city. If these soldiers and horses responsible for guarding the capital really allow the enemy to attack Yingtian City, the result will be the same whether they are inside the city or outside the city.

The martial arts hall and the rugby field have been preserved, surrounding the two building complexes, and a large number of trees have been transplanted to wrap up this area.

The Yingtian Cup rugby match has been fixed for a long time. In order to facilitate the football (gambling) fans (disciples) to enter and watch the game, a passage was specially separated to connect to the outside of the Xicheng construction site.

As for the Martial Arts Hall, no more arrangements and processing were made.

Although the martial arts hall is a school, it is filled with soldiers from top to bottom.

It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders.

Today, Zhu Yunxi arrived at the Xicheng construction site early as usual and stood at the door of the shed behind one of the entrances.

At the construction site, people who were already employed by Ying Tianfu and lived on the Xicheng construction site began to eat the breakfast provided on the construction site with bowls in their hands.

At the entrance and exit, some carriages filled with materials were already queuing up.

The newly promoted prince's young master Zhang Ergong, wearing a thick mud-stained jacket and holding two smoking bowls in his hands, walked over from the kitchen not far away.

"Your Highness, the Luzhou Prefecture Chicken Rice Noodles have just been cooked. This morning Supervisor Lin Yuan sent the green vegetables for the greenhouse and cooked them together."

As he spoke, Zhang Ergong placed a large bowl filled with chicken soup noodles on the table next to Zhu Yunxi.

The coal stove was lit in the shack, and at this time it was so warm that one could not feel the cold.

Zhu Yunxi didn't see anyone else. He just glanced at Zhang Ergong, whose hair was a little messy. He rubbed his hands and put them on the sea bowl: "How many days have you been living on the construction site without going home?"

Zhang Ergong took a sip of noodles and another sip of chicken soup, and then he chuckled and said, "I don't dare to go back because I'm on schedule. After I've been busy with the preliminary work these two days, I can go home and rest for a few days." Zhu Yunxi looked He glanced outside the door.

I'm afraid I still have to do some work.

Who would have thought that in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ergong, who was the first to enter the officialdom as a craftsman and reach the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, would run to this large construction site in Xicheng after he was dismissed from the position of Minister.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and started to eat noodles with his head down.

Rice noodles from Luzhou Prefecture, old hens from Luzhou Prefecture.

Noodles boiled in chicken soup, served with a few green vegetables, is a delicacy in the world.

I picked through the bowl with my chopsticks and found two fried golden eggs.

This kind of food is the most nourishing to the stomach.

In this cold winter, it is also the best way to warm up.

The two of them ate noodles quietly.

Not long after, some more people came in from outside carrying dishes and chopsticks.

First, he saluted Zhu Yunxi and Zhang Ergong, and then walked to the table inside and started eating.

These are all craftsmen working on the Xicheng construction site.

however.

Not long after, people wearing robes or military uniforms began to appear in the shack. They also came out of the kitchen opposite carrying dishes and chopsticks and walked into the shack here.

Chang Jizu brought a bowl of rice noodles with chicken soup and shredded pork into the shack, but there was less noodles and more soup.

He sat next to Zhu Yunxi who had finished his noodles and started drinking soup. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he took out a leather bag from his arms and took out a bulging oil paper bag.

After opening it, there are steaming grilled lamb chops, roast beef and fried chicken legs.

Shockingly no less than three or four kilograms.

Then I saw him take out a handful of garlic that had been peeled long ago from his pocket and slap it on the table.

Chang Ji's ancestor picked a piece of garlic and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he grabbed a grilled and oily lamb chop and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing fiercely several times, he used his big mouth to crush all the food in his mouth into dregs, then lowered his head and mixed it with the soup and ate it into his stomach.

After waiting for a set of procedures to be completed, Chang Jizu wiped his hands carelessly on his body and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "No one in the martial arts hall has been interested in class these two days."

Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands together: "You're just going to eat these in the morning. Aren't you afraid that something will go wrong then?"

Chang Jizu added: "Although Wei Guogong ordered that the teachers and students of the Jiangwu Hall should not discuss government affairs. But in private, everyone was quietly discussing what you would do next. Some people began to suggest that as long as the crown prince shows that he wants to depose If you think of it, they will go on strike and report it to the court."

Zhang Ergong, who was picking his teeth at the side, couldn't help but trembled on his shoulders. He quickly lowered his head and continued to concentrate on picking out his teeth.

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "Xicheng will be a model and our true paradise on earth. At present, the land must be leveled before the year, and the landscape lakes and mountains that should be dug must be dug before they freeze. Completed. Planning for each district must also be completed in advance. After the start of the new year, we can directly start construction according to the plan."

Zhang Ergong, who lowered his head, nodded, but did not raise his head.

Chang Jizu frowned: "What is the situation now? We always feel that this matter is not that simple. It is impossible for the prince to suddenly treat you like this. There must be a hidden reason."

Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingers on the table, making a thumping sound.

Chang Jizu glanced at Zhu Yunxi indifferently: "There was a deduction in the martial arts hall, which was about the inheritance within the three generations of the Ming Dynasty. The result was that all possibilities were preset, and the optimal solution of the Ming Dynasty was It’s still only you. Only you can make Ming Dynasty truly get rid of the laws of family and world, and create Ming Dynasty’s true eternal foundation.”

In the shack, the craftsmen had already stuffed breakfast into their stomachs and fled from here.

Zhang Ergong wanted to slip away.

There is still so much work on the construction site that it’s hard to finish.

It is more pure to move bricks.

When Chang Jizu saw that Zhu Yunxi had not spoken for a long time, he fiercely grabbed the meat with one hand and the bowl with the other and stuffed food into his mouth.

In a short time, he had a mouth full of food, his eyes widened, and he made a muffled sound.

"You must at least give the truth, otherwise no one can guarantee what will happen if things continue.

I heard before I came here today that although the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion issued strict orders, some people in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion seemed to be dissatisfied with the recent situation.

Although the Beijing army is suppressed by the cabinet, there are many people around Yingtian who can be used. You should know this very well. "

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was still silent, Chang Jizu lost his appetite.

Push the meat in front of you away.

He continued: "Brother Hei, you should know that our Chang family is not dependent on the Crown Prince, nor do we necessarily support you.

But you are your aunt's biological son, the grandson, nephew, and cousin of the Chang family. As a family, it is necessary to remind us that everything is possible only if people are alive. "

Zhu Yunxi frowned: "Don't worry, the Ming Dynasty is still there, the old man is still there, and the prince has always been wise, so how can the country be in trouble? At this time, people's hearts are tested the most. Don't do things that are harmful to the country."

Chang Jizu frowned, this was not the answer he wanted to achieve.

Likewise, this is not the answer that the Chang family and many people want.

Zhu Yunxi was helpless. He wanted to live a life of Tao Yuanming picking chrysanthemums under the east fence for a while, but no one seemed willing to let him get what he wanted.

He said solemnly: "Then please say something for me."

Chang Jizu's eyes immediately lit up: "Say it!"

"At this time, anyone who makes trouble or makes remarks should go to Fengyang to think about their mistakes."

Chang Jizu's eyes flickered a few times.

This was still not the answer he wanted, but at least he had something to take back.

Zhu Yunxi had already stood up.

The reason why Chang Jizu appears here is not only to represent the Chang family, but also to represent the nobles and nobles who have placed their hopes on him.

That's why he said that anyone who caused trouble at this time should go back to Fengyang to think about it.

When Zhang Ergong saw Zhu Yunxi get up and walk out of the shack, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After taking a look at Chang Jizu, he whispered: "A number of new-style houses will be built around Guanjing Lake in the future. If Master Chang is interested, you can make a reservation now." , we will reserve the best locations for Young Master Chang to choose from."

Chang Jizu frowned and glanced at Zhang Ergong.

This former craftsman official and minister of the Ministry of Industry has now completely lost his scruples and is forthright and forthright in his words and actions.

Chang Jizu shook his head: "There is no shortage of houses at home. Mr. Zhang should think about how to return to the court..."

There are some things he doesn't want to say anymore.

Zhang Ergong stepped down from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although he was now the crown prince and young master, he had no real power.

If you continue like this, don't even think about doing anything great in the court in the future.

Zhang Ergong also shook his head and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that I can only continue to deceive those brainless barbarians. My family does not understand the future of Xicheng..."

After saying that, he didn't care about Chang Jizu's face and chased Zhu Yunxi outside.
