Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 275 Crown Princess: What kind of nonsense is this?
Xia Yuanji left the main hall and bowed to Zhu Di in the hall:

"Your Majesty, Sheng Gong Jin'an."

"I'm safe."

Zhu Di asked displeasedly, "Old Xia, you said you came here for the southwest?"

Xia Yuanji nodded: "This is why I came here."

"Why?"

Zhu Di was well aware of Xia Laoji's temper, and thought that Xia Yuanji was here to persuade him not to cause war.

It is a well-known fact that Mr. Xia of the household department does not like wars, and the household department will definitely oppose it whenever there is a war.Every arrow shot on the battlefield was saved by Xia Lao Shangshu.

Now the country has been fighting for years, which is the last thing the Ministry of Households wants to see. It was already like this during the Northern Expedition. The treasury has been in deficit for years and cannot make ends meet.

Xia Yuanji Lingran bowed: "My minister Xia Yuanji, I would like to inform your majesty that the household department has been rich in finances and rich in silver and grain in recent years. The southwestern rebellion, I ask your majesty to send troops to question the crime. As long as the army wants to fight, then fight for as long as possible. How much money is short of the front line?" How much military supplies are missing and how much supplies are missing are the errands of the household department. But you can't lose an inch of Ming's territory!"

His Majesty the Emperor touched his ears: "I didn't hear what you said clearly. Say it again."

"The minister said that the territory of the Ming Dynasty will not give up an inch!"

Zhu Di was startled: "Did Mr. Xia take the wrong medicine today?"

He has only seen the war-weary Hube, but he has never seen the warlike Hube!

What a ghost, Xia Yuanji still has a day to ask Emperor Yongle to send troops to fight!
Xia Yuanji said righteously: "Da Ming must not be humiliated, anyone who humiliates will be killed!"

Zhu Gaoxuan whispered to Zhu Di from the side: "Father, once the black tax and white tax were collected this year, all of them went into the national treasury. Although the Ministry of Household Affairs does not have the power to mobilize it, the Ministry of Household Affairs can do a second check. Old Shangshu Xia is very rich now."

Zhu Di was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"

No wonder Old Shangshu Xia dared to let go of his rhetoric now, "As long as the war is fought, the Ministry of Households will last as long as it takes."

It is said that money is the courage of a hero, Zhu Di thinks this is really true, don't you see that as long as the money is in place, everything can be settled for you.

Isn't it just a small southwestern rebel, let him be dealt with!
If the money is in place, let alone let the ghost grind the millstone for you, let the ghost give you a one-on-one service with a massage and a wooden barrel bath!

……

In the summer of the 15th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the four people in the Shuntian Palace had a lot of deliberations on how to deal with the southwest rebellion.

His Majesty the Emperor sits in the capital to ensure that the empire is safe.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaoxuan was in command, with British Duke Zhang Fu as his deputy, and led a small group of people to secretly go to the government of Qianguo in Yunnan. In order to prevent the leak of news from causing an incident in the Southwest Capital, the whole process will be kept secret before Zhu Gaoxuan and Mu Jiajun arrive in the southwest.

Zhu Di didn't express too many opinions in this Shuntian meeting. He has been watching Zhu Gaoxuan's deployment calmly all the time, and everything is arranged just right.

It is said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but at this time, the tiger and the cub got along very well.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxuan's high-spirited yet sophisticated appearance, Zhu Di wondered if he could abdicate to the virtuous.

He has long passed the age of greed for power and position. Since the 11th year of Yongle, when Empress Xu's coffin was buried in Beijing's Changling, Zhu Di has been tired of being an emperor.The reason why I have been sitting in this position is that I can't find a suitable heir.

Whether it is the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi or the second child Zhu Gaoxu, they can be regarded as a generation of heroes, even the most ineffective third child Zhu Gaosui has both brains and blood.

However, none of the three princes satisfied the emperor.

In his eyes, his successor should be like him, who is good at both literary and martial arts, who can both conquer the world on horseback and rule the world off his horse, help the empire to rise above the blue clouds, and have the mighty power to turn the sky back.

In fact, Zhu Di didn't like to use the way of raising Gu to raise his sons, and let his princes fight and kill each other.

The reason why he keeps letting the prince fight among himself is not as the world thinks, but just to stabilize his throne.In fact, he felt that in this way, the potential of the princes could be forced out, so that he could give up the throne.

Now that he has finally found the prince who suits him best, it seems that he can let it go.

"Wait a little longer, wait..."

Zhu Di murmured, "I always feel that something is missing..."

……

On the dining table in the East Palace, there are four dishes and two soups. Although it is not a peerless delicacy of delicacies from mountains and seas, this simple meal is also made by the imperial chef of Guanglu Temple. The simplest ingredients can make people appetite.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Gaoxuan wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and pampered his children's little heads: "Daddy is going on a long trip, the two countries and Jing'er should listen to their mother at home."

No one would have imagined that the cruel and ruthless Crown Prince could speak in such a tone.

However, Zhu Gaoxuan's principles of life have always been the same. Although he has always flaunted himself as a martial artist, he never educates his children in the way of a martial artist.

He will give his children the best conditions and the best education, but he will not impose his will on them. Zhu Gaoyi is willing to let his children develop freely in their own way.

The two countries were silent, with a pair of clear eyes with a calmness that did not belong to this age.

Zhu Yingjing, the eldest daughter of Zhu Gaoyi, nodded her head, and said in a babbling voice, "Jing'er is obedient~"

Zhu Gaoyi chuckled, and turned his gaze to Zhang Yingzhen again.

After the eldest daughter of the British Duke was promoted from Princess Qi to Crown Princess, she seemed unaware of the earth-shaking changes in her status.

Concubine Qi is just a concubine, nothing more, but the concubine is the future empress, the lord of the six palaces in the world.

Zhang Yingzhen bit her thin lips lightly, and sighed, "Is Your Highness going to war again?"

The two countries, who had no emotional fluctuations like puppets, turned their eyes to their father after hearing the words.

I really don't know how this little kid, who is not yet one year old, can be so precocious.

Zhu Gaoxuan said indifferently: "This battle must be fought, and I also want to sit in the Wenhua Palace to handle state affairs with peace of mind, but if the country wants to develop, it must first settle the foreign affairs. Foreign affairs are uncertain, how can the interior be stable?"

Zhang Yingzhen was a little puzzled: "There is no shortage of generals who can fight in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of fighting in the southwest, my father Zhang Fu, the Duke of England, and Mu Sheng, the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan, are both good fighters in the southwest. Why do you have to be the crown prince?" Go out on your own?"

Zhu Gaoyi didn't speak, but just watched his princess calmly.

Zhang Yingzhen also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and bowed her head to admit her mistake: "The concubine is guilty."

Emperor Taizu clearly ordered that women in the harem and eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics. Now that the Southwest matter involved military affairs, according to Emperor Taizu's ancestral precepts, Zhang Yingzhen was not qualified to inquire about related matters, let alone offer her own suggestions.

However, the saying "no political affairs in the harem" was not pioneered by Lao Zhu. Some people said it was said by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and some said it was said by King Wu of Zhou. But no matter who said it, there is only one fundamental intention in the end: Fearing that the power of foreign relatives would become stronger and threaten the power of the emperor.

Confucianism proposes three cardinal guides and five constant principles, among which the three cardinal guides emphasize: the ruler guides ministers, the father guides sons, and the husband guides wives.

The Song and Ming dynasties became more and more strict on etiquette. The situation that "the queen can also be a second-married woman" could appear in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it could not appear in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

Zhang Yingzhen is a virtuous and intelligent woman who was born in the general family. She knows that in order to be a good housekeeper, the most important thing she should do is to obey her husband.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said with emotion: "This granddaughter-in-law is not bad, she is as virtuous as our eldest sister."

Cao Cao seconded: "Old Zhu, what you said is in line with my wishes, and I also appreciate this lady very much."

"Get lost." Zhu Yuanzhang said cursingly, "You think I don't know what you're thinking? I advise you to take care of yourself and don't force me to slap you!"

"What did I say?"

Boss Cao was a little helpless, "I just appreciate it, do you understand that?"

Von Neumann said in Shaanxi-style Central Plains dialect: "Why are you so interested in a lump of water, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fat? I don't understand."

"?"

A big question mark appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's head.

……

On the last night before the expedition, Zhu Gaoyi was not in a hurry to enjoy the last warmth on the couch with his wife.

Zhang Yingzhen poured warm shochu into the wine cup, Zhu Gaoyi took a sip from the wine glass and said, "Today at the dinner table, I didn't deliberately avoid answering your questions."

The princess nodded: "I understand."

"You really understand?"

Zhu Gaoxuan stared into his wife's eyes. From the bright and pure eyes of the other party, he only saw understanding, without any deliberate show off.

Relieved, he said slowly: "This battle cannot be replaced by others, it can only be fought by me."

The princess frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Zhu Gaoyi sighed: "You should know that this place in the southwest is different from other places. The southwest is the place where I raised my troops."

Zhang Yingzhen nodded, of course she knew this.

At that time, "King Qi's blood splashed in Fengtian Palace" was full of turmoil. In front of all the court ministers, Zhu Gaoxuan showed his power as a young dragon, and slapped to death a second-rank Du Yushi master with the back of his knife.

This case made everyone's hair stand up, but Zhang Yingzhen knew that the case was actually caused by her.

If it wasn't for His Majesty the Emperor's gift of marrying King Qi's mansion to the British mansion, Zhu Gaoxuan would not have been forced to enter the political arena of the Ming Dynasty, nor would he have turned friends into enemies with the King of Han.And the British government will not be regarded as a deadly enemy by the King of Han, and Zhu Gaoyi will not make a move for the British government's platform.

A marriage breaks the balance of the Yongle dynasty, leading to the downfall of both the prince and the king of Han, causing troubles in the world and disturbing the peace.

After the blood splattered Fengtian Palace case, Zhu Gaoxuan was exiled to the southwest by Zhu Di on the surface, but in fact it was for him to inherit the power cultivated by the British government in the southwest for many years.

Back then, Zhu Di certainly didn't think about passing on the throne to Zhu Gaoxuan, but deliberately paved the way for Prince Qi's mansion.

At that time, His Majesty the Emperor just felt that if Prince Qi’s Mansion entered the arena, it would be like a sheep stepping into a wolf’s den, and it might be torn to pieces every minute. Letting Prince Qi’s Mansion take over the power of the British Duke’s Mansion was to prevent the British Duke’s The mansion’s breeding of tigers in the southwest is out of control, and the second is to let Qi Wang’s mansion, a little sheep, have the ability to protect itself in the face of the princelings and Hanwang party.

The emperor never thought that King Qi was not a little sheep, but a real dragon.

"The Southwest is my territory. In a way, Annan Province is more important than Jianzhou, Korea, and Yingzhou, because Annan Province symbolizes my face."

Zhu Gaoxuan said, "Now that Annan Province is in such a mess, it's slapping me in the face. The old man may not care, but what do other people think? I have always shown my majesty to others. If I let it go like this, they will still Afraid of me?"

Zhang Yingzhen couldn't help asking: "Why do you have to let others be afraid of you? Looking at the ancient and modern dynasties, there are not a few crown princes who show their benevolence to others. Even the prince Yiwen Zhu Biao of the Hongwu Dynasty and his elder brother Zhu Gaochi have always been benevolent. To show others, can they treat the Crown Prince as a good one?"

Zhu Gaoyi shook his head: "It's different."

"What is the difference."

"My uncle and elder brother and I are not the same kind of people. Show people with benevolence and buy people's hearts. What I want to do is not just to buy people's hearts."

Zhu Gaoxuan said softly, "What I want to do, whether it is to reform the tax system or the reform of the official system, will attract too many people's opposition, because I am dividing and chopping their interests bit by bit, and then swallowing them into my own." In the belly, swallow it into Daming's belly."

If they are not willing, then I can only make them 'willing' until they are willing. "

So I want them to be afraid of me. Only when they are afraid of me will they yield and obey my orders.

It's a kind of kindness, because I only want their money, and if they are not afraid of me, then I should kill them.It is kindness for me to let them live. "

Zhang Yingzhen couldn't refute for a while, because no matter from which angle she refuted, she felt that what her husband said was very reasonable.

What Zhu Gaoxuan meant was: I didn't kill you, thank me soon.

What absurdity is this?
But how could the virtuous Crown Princess refute her husband, but nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's right, our Highness is the most benevolent person in the world."

Zhu Gaoyi continued: "So, I want to take back the Southwest, not only to take it back, but also to take it back with my own hands.

In an extremely bloody and cruel way, Annan Province was held in my hands again, making them afraid and afraid.

I will declare to them that this is the fate of those who disobey me, those who obey me will live, and those who disobey me will die. "

The rain in Nanjing washed away his last hesitation, and the southwest wind blew away his last hesitation.

Zhu Gaoyi was forced to take a path he didn't want to take, he was forced to be involved in the vortex of party struggles, and when he realized that he couldn't break free, he no longer had a weakness.

Either don't do it or do it absolutely, this is his consistent style. Now that he has embarked on this cruel road of fighting for power, his eyes will only be locked on the throne.

Everyone can choose a timid life, but the emperor can't.The emperor must stand alone, stand on the highest mountain, use his body to resist the oncoming storm, and sit alone on the towering and cold throne, ignoring the world.
