People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 208 The prince's ascent channel, an unsolvable knot
Zhang Yi asked casually, and Zhu Biao also knew that he didn't really blame himself.

He replied:
"These days, my father helps me manage the family business, but he has no time!

Everyone is busy, father and elder brother are busy with going to sea, and they have to control the overall situation!

I can't help him too much, so I just watch the business of the bookstore here!
By the way, listen to it and take a look to verify the rumor spreading technique you said! "

"That's called communication..."

Zhang Yi's protest made Zhu Biao laugh.

"Then what did the big brother gain?"

"Not to mention the harvest, my father allowed me to walk around Yingtian Mansion these days, I have traveled many places and thought about many things!

Although it is not as good as the sages who traveled thousands of miles, you can measure the market with your feet, and there will always be different harvests! "

When Zhu Biaoyan mentioned this matter, his eyes became brighter.

Although the emperor allowed him to go out of the palace before, most of them were two points and one line!
The travel of the king and the prince is related to the foundation of the country.

If something happened in the marketplace, it would be a major event that could shake the foundation of Daming's rule.

So from a rational point of view, Lao Zhu should not have allowed Zhu Biao to walk around, or even intervene in these dark affairs prematurely.

It's just that since meeting Zhang Yi, Lao Zhu has also discovered Zhu Biao's weakness.

Not grounded!

Within a limited range, try to let the prince observe the market and the lives of the people.

To experience the darkness and light at the bottom!
Zhu Biao was really uncomfortable doing these things at the beginning, but he persisted for a while, but he grew a lot.

He is happy for his growth!
Although Zhang Yi said that allicin could save his life, no one dared to say anything about the future.

The threat of death fell on him, he instinctively cherished the days he was alive, and wanted to let himself take charge of Daming's affairs as soon as possible, and make arrangements for the aftermath!
Zhang Yi looked at Zhu Biao with some doubts.

After not seeing him for a while, this brother of the Huang family has indeed grown up too much.

But when he observed Zhu Biao, he found that he had a vague sense of transparency to see through the world.

However, he didn't reveal these things. After all, everyone has their own practice, and the Huang family brother may have encountered some things that made him grow up.

"By the way, my father said, a lot of interesting things have happened to you recently..."

"That's right, your brother and I have done a lot of great things recently..."

Only with the Zhu family father and son, Zhang Yi really let go of his guard, but the first thing he said made Zhu Biao stunned:
"Brother, I want to know your details!"

The tea in Zhu Biao's hand trembled and almost spilled out. Fortunately, his practice during these days was not in vain after all, and he quickly stabilized his hand.

He pretended to be nonchalant and asked Zhang Yi:

"Tell me, how do you want to check my details?"

Zhang Yi laughed:
"Then Chen Ke, you also know him, he offered me ten taels of silver to buy your news, and I got it back to life!

Why don't you tell me, brother, I'll sell you, and we'll add five to one for the money! "

When Zhu Biao heard the words, he couldn't laugh or cry.

This kid is eccentric and always frightening.

He knew Chen Ke, and the shrewdness of the shopkeeper always left a deep impression on him:

"That shopkeeper Chen is a wonderful person! He did find someone to inquire about me, and Gao Jianxian and the others took care of me, and then he stopped intervening!

A businessman who knows how to advance and retreat, originally Ling said he wanted to warn him, but I stopped him!

Later he came to visit, and I also followed him for a while!
At least so far, he is not out of line!

But he didn't expect that secretly he still didn't give up? "

Zhang Yi laughed:
"It's human nature, you are a dragon in the eyes of others!

As soon as they came to Yingtian Mansion, the business opened one by one. This is at the feet of the emperor, how many people bring gold and silver everywhere to seek opportunities but can't get in!

A run-down Kong family with no power, a businessman with a gangster background like Chen Ke has to curry favor with him!

It can be seen from this that the door of senior officials is not so easy to enter!
But Uncle Huang and Big Brother...

No wonder they are not curious! "

Having known each other for so long, Zhang Yi actually doesn't know who the Huang family's backer is.

But when he saw Lao Huang's later actions, he understood that the people behind the Huang family were probably from the Huaixi Group!

And their backer, even if it's not Li Shanchang, a person like Xu Da, why is he at the level of Liubu Shangshu, or Liubu Shilang?

Of course, it may also be on the military side.

Anyway, it will definitely not be low!
But Zhang Yi held back his curiosity and didn't ask.

Since Lao Huang didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask. This is a measure one should know in order to live in the world.

Zhu Biao laughed:
"Ten taels of silver, is this Chen Ke looking down on me or you?

He wants to buy the details of my Huang family for ten taels of silver. He is just dreaming! "

Zhang Yi replied:
"Probably because he really thinks I'm a seven-year-old kid, so I can fool around casually, right?

People think that I am just a servant of the Confucian mansion, and ten taels of silver is enough for me to not be able to sleep at night!
He treats me as a child, and I am happy to be treated as a child by others!
It would be great if everyone was like this, and it would be best if that Yang Xian would treat me like a child too! "

Speaking of Yang Xian, Zhang Yi naturally talked about the recent wind and rain.

Zhu Biao knew some things, and some things he didn't have time to know.

Hearing that Zhang Yi went to the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Biao frowned.

Like Zhang Yi, he knew Lao Zhu's way of doing things, and the Ministry of Industry might be bleeding like a river!

Who knows if the emperor will spread from the Ministry of Industry to the other six ministries?

If it moves, not one and a half people will die.

Zhu Biao reckoned that the officials in the DPRK had probably scolded Yang Xian and Zhang Yi bloody at home.

The fight between these two guys may bring other people to die together.

He shook his head and smiled.

This matter was beyond his control, Zhang Yi continued, and finally talked about Xu's girl and Zhu Xi.

Hearing that he deliberately kept a distance from Xu's girl, Zhu Biao almost laughed out loud.

This coward, as soon as he heard that the girl from the Xu family was the daughter-in-law of the fourth child, he became like this.

He deliberately teased him:

"I think you have a relationship with that girl?"

Zhang Yi gave him a white look, and said:
"Brother, how can you be as virtuous as that heartless Zhu Xi!
That heartless booing, you booing too..."

Zhang Yi was furious, whoever told him that he and Xu Miaoyun were destined to be in a hurry.

Zhu Biao laughed.

But he stopped talking, and he changed the subject and asked:

"Then what do you think of the prince Zhu Yu? Speaking of which, I haven't seen such a noble person before?"

Ok……

If he relied on his first impression, he would definitely call Zhu Xi a waste.

After all, his person has long been settled in history.

But the conclusions of later generations do not necessarily represent the evaluation of the people in front of them.

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said:

"I think it's okay, at least the current His Royal Highness King Qin is okay..."

"King Qin?"

None of the princes in the palace were named kings.

How did Zhang Yi know that Zhu Xi would be crowned King of Qin?
So, did he also get a glimpse of the future in his younger brother?
Zhu Biao suddenly became interested.

"At present, do you mean that His Highness will not be able to do it in the future?"

Zhang Yi replied:
"It's really not good. He was destined to be robbed and died unexpectedly!"

Zhu Biao's face changed slightly, didn't Zhu Xi die well?
Zhang Yi, a brat, never had a good word out of his mouth.

He originally thought that he was the only one in the Zhu family who was unlucky, but is it true that the second brother is also so unlucky?
"He died from slave to slave...

In other words, the servant who was tortured by him was humiliated and poisoned to death! "

Zhu Biao was furious when he heard the words: "These servants should die..."

Zhang Yi sneered when he heard this:

"Brother Huang's opinion is different from that of His Majesty the Emperor. After Zhu Xi died, the Emperor thought that he deserved to die!
After he became a fan, he never did a single job.
Don't say anything else, just cut off the tongue of the palace man, bury the palace man in the snow to freeze to death, tie him to a tree to starve to death, and burn him to death. How is this punishment method different from that of animals?
Not to mention, he also privately built a five-clawed golden dragon bed in his territory, and dressed his side concubine in queen's clothes!

Thanks to being in Lao Zhu's house, there is a little bit of human touch among the royal family.

In other dynasties, it might not be necessary for others to poison him to death, even the emperor would have taken him and demoted him to a commoner.

This bastard dies when he dies!

In fact, after he died, the emperor thought he deserved to die!
Just think about it, how can a prince be sympathetic to such a thing? "

Zhu Biao was silent, his chest heaved up and down, and he couldn't hold his breath.

This includes both the anger after hearing about the cause of his brother's death, and the indignation after knowing the truth.

Not only angry at the subordinates and offending the superiors, but also angry at what the second brother will do in the future.

Although Zhu Biao was not a few years older than Zhu Xing, he had already established authority because he was specially supported by the emperor since he was a child.

The words that the eldest brother is like a father may not be true if it is placed on the other princes.

But on Zhu Biao, it is very appropriate.

"The son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault! I am afraid that the emperor and the prince are all responsible for raising such a person!"

He is not a person who likes to shirk responsibility on others. When he said this, Zhu Biao suddenly became less interested.

Zhang Yi giggled, watching the Black Emperor for so long, did he even lead Brother Huang to death?
But Zhang Yi disagreed with Zhu Biao's words:

"Actually, if we talk about upbringing, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao have also tried their best!
Not to mention them, even I, who has seen Zhu Xi's fate, think that His Highness is not bad now!

Although a little frivolous, it is still normal after all!

At this time, he didn't have much distinction between up and down, and his temperament was considered easy-going!

Even I feel that fate is playing tricks on people. I was originally a good person, but how did I become the appearance of future generations?

This mind-changing, indeed elusive! "

Zhu Biao replied:

"Isn't that the same as what I said, that the emperor and the prince lacked education for Zhu Xi?

If his nature is good now, then what he will do in the future is that the emperor lacks guidance...

The prince did not lead by example! "

Zhang Yi laughed and replied:
"Perhaps, it is because the emperor's education is too good, and the crown prince is too good at setting an example, that is the root of Zhu Xi's tragedy?"

Zhu Biao was stunned, what's the point?
His bewildered eyes made Zhang Yi slightly proud. He knew that Zhu Biao must not have figured out this truth, and he didn't pretend to be close.

"Brother, of course people like you can't figure it out!

For example, do you have a younger brother in Wudi? "

Zhu Biao nodded silently: "Yes!"

"For example, you have a younger brother who is not as old as you, who is also smart and motivated!

It's just that as he gets older, the more he learns, the more he understands. He thinks that as long as he works hard, he can share the family business in the future!

Even, have the opportunity to inherit the family business!

But as he grows bigger, he understands a truth more and more!
That is, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't be chosen by his father!

Because there is a person in front of him, he will never be able to surpass him, and that person is his big brother, you...

Back to Zhu's house!

It would be fine if it was with other emperors. Most of the emperors in the past dynasties would train a prince to fight against the prince for the stability of the throne!
In short, among other emperors, at least everyone has something to look forward to.

But it's not the same reason for the person in the palace.

What is the most important thing for the emperor today? Family and prosperity!

So he will definitely get rid of other people's thoughts and avoid brothers fighting against each other.

But this will also have disadvantages, that is, after the princes' thoughts are eliminated, the princes will lose their motivation to work hard?
The Huang family brother should remember what I said before, the factors for a country's stability are employment and rising channels!

But for the prince, their path of ascension was blocked from the very beginning!
What is the use of hard work?

No matter how well done, there is no room for improvement!
In the end, isn't it all for nothing? "

Zhang Yi's nonsensical remarks left Zhu Biao speechless.

Regarding the undercurrents of the Tian Family, he actually already knew enough about it.

"So think again, what would you do if you were a prince and there was no hope in front of you?
No matter how well you do it, you are just inferior to others. When you see no hope, you will have two choices, give up on yourself, or work hard to forge ahead!
You know what it means to be hardworking and enterprising! "

rebel!

The so-called prince's hard work is nothing more than rebellion.

But rebellion is fine in other dynasties, but it is almost impossible to rebel in the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

So Zhu Xi chose to give up on himself, which is not an unexpected answer.

Zhang Yi also knew that another person chose a different answer, that is Jin Wang Zhu Yan.

He also sighed, which is why Zhang Normal chose to let him become a master, but he refused without thinking about it.

If the father is really optimistic about him and has the intention of supporting him to go up, the relationship between him and his elder brother may not be good in the future after he stays in Longhu Mountain.

The same is true for the Tian family, and the allure of the throne is much greater than that of the Tianshi.

Zhu Xi couldn't see any hope, so it was natural for him to choose to give up on himself.

Resisting Zhu Yuanzhang and not marrying Avalokitesvara may just be the trigger for this kind of knot to break out.

It's a dead end!
Even if he, a traveler, observes from the perspective of God, there is no solution.

In fact, as long as you think about it, you will understand that Zhu Yu once dressed his second concubine Deng in the queen's costume, and Jin Wang Zhu Yan was rumored to rebel, and he was almost deposed as a commoner.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, the slander against Zhu Biao!
In a way, it was the release of the darkest depths of their hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang is really homesick and everything is going well, but he can't suppress his human nature after all

He couldn't suppress his sons' desire for the throne.

"Is there a solution?"

Zhu Biao sincerely asked Zhang Yi for advice, and Zhang Yi simply replied:
"No, even immortals and Buddhas can't grasp people's hearts,
Besides, I'm not really a fairy!

Forget it, let's not talk about this, brother Huang, you haven't answered my question yet? "
