My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 500 The Power Struggle
Shi Jianguo's grassland people rebelled, but two different sources of intelligence appeared on the same incident. Zhu Zhanji's report was unclear, and he only mentioned the grassland people's rebellion. Zhu Yong's battle report was very detailed, but both inside and outside the words put the blame on On Zhu Zhanji's head.

This made Zhu Di undecided for a while. Zhu Gaochi didn't know how to evaluate it, while Zhu Zhanhe simply pretended to be stupid. In the end, Zhu Di had no choice but to continue waiting for news, especially from Jinyi Guards, whose news should be more impartial now.

That same night, someone quietly sent a letter to the Han Palace. The letter was written by Zhu Yong himself. The sender was also very cautious and must hand it to Zhu Zhanhe.

"Besides the letter, what else did Zhu Yong say?"

Zhu Zhanhe personally met the person who sent the letter. After taking the letter, he immediately asked the person.

"No, the Lord has said it. What he wants to say is in the letter. Your Majesty, you will know it as soon as you read it."

replied the messenger.

Zhu Zhanhe nodded after hearing this, and then asked the steward to send this person away, and specifically told them to go through the side door of the palace to avoid being seen.

Then Zhu Zhanhe came to the study room with the letter. After closing the door, he opened the letter and read it again.

This letter is very thick, with more than a dozen pages written. It is really difficult for Zhu Yong to write so many words.

As expected, the content of the letter was related to the rebellion of the grassland people. Compared with the battle report to Zhu Di, Zhu Di's personal letter was written in more detail, and also told many inside stories that were not convenient to disclose in the battle report.

It turned out that after Zhu Zhanji went to the Chief Envoy of Japan, he quickly wanted to intervene in local military and political affairs, but this was not at all in line with the rules, because Zhu Di sent Zhu Zhanji to Japan, mainly to preside over peace talks with the Ashikaga Shogunate, and Shi See the development of silver mines.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji had no right to interfere in the military and political affairs of the Japanese Chief Envoy. Of course, if necessary, he could ask the Japanese Chief Envoy to assist him.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't think so. He felt that when Zhu Zhanhe was here, the entire Japanese Chief Envoys listened to Zhu Zhanhe. Now that he is here, of course the entire Japanese Chief Envoys must also listen to him. .

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji not only asked the military and political circles to cooperate with him, but also placed his own personnel in the army and government.

Among them, Yang Yun, the chief envoy, was a civilian official. For Zhu Gaochi's sake, he didn't dare to say anything. However, Zhu Yong was a military general and was in charge of the army. He was unwilling to let Zhu Zhanji intervene.

In addition, Zhu Zhanji has always disliked Zhu Yong. After all, everyone knows that Zhu Yong is Zhu Zhanhe's younger brother. The two of them and Zhang Zhong are so good that they wear a pair of pants. So after Zhu Zhanji went to Japan, he also targeted him everywhere. Zhu Yong.

So under this situation, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Yong also had several conflicts. Of course, Zhu Yong's identity was not as good as Zhu Zhanji's, so his situation was not very good and he was always at a disadvantage.

This time, when the prairie people were sent to Japan, Zhu Yong originally needed to send an army to receive them, and then the army would escort them to Shijian Kingdom, and the army would guard them to prevent these people from causing rebellion.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't trust Zhu Yong, and he didn't want Zhu Yong to interfere with Shi Jianguo's affairs, so the grassland people were taken over by Zhu Zhanji within a few days of their arrival on Kyushu Island.

Zhu Zhanji had no military power and not many people to use, so he activated a group of Japanese who had taken refuge in him, intending to use the power of these Japanese to help him complete the mining of the Iwami Silver Mine.As a result, what happened next was that those grassland people were indeed forced to rebel by the Japanese. It was not just that the Japanese were cruel by nature, but that their living standards had always been this way. For example, the meals they prepared were all in accordance with Japanese standards.

You must know why the Japanese are called Japanese. It is because they are short. Besides genes, the main reason for being short is that they eat too little. Although the grassland people do not eat well, they are at least much taller than the Japanese. The Japanese provide them with so much food. Ordering food is not even enough to fit between teeth.

In addition, the Japanese officials were always cruel to ordinary Japanese, and the grassland people were prisoners of war, so the Japanese were of course more harsh on them. Therefore, under the pressure from all aspects, the grassland people could not bear it anymore and finally launched a rebellion.

Moreover, Zhu Yong also said in the letter that he had sent people to get in touch with the rebellious grassland people, and they were willing to lay down their weapons, but they also made some reasonable requests, such as increasing their diet and shortening their working time.

However, Zhu Yong did not have the right to agree to these, and needed Zhu Zhanji's nod. However, for his own sake, Zhu Zhanji refused to talk to the grassland people, and instead urged Zhu Yong to send troops to suppress the grassland people's rebellion.

Zhu Yong was unwilling to send troops, so the three parties remained in a stalemate. In the end, Zhu Zhanji complained to the court first. After Zhu Yong learned the news, he sent the battle report back.

After reading Zhu Yong's letters, Zhu Zhanhe finally understood the causes and consequences of this rebellion.

Speaking of which, those grassland people were also unlucky. They were completely victims of the power struggle between Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Yong.

But strictly speaking, the main responsibility still lies with Zhu Zhanji. He had no power to interfere in the local military affairs, but he insisted on using his power to suppress others. As a result, Zhu Yong turned against him, which led to the disparity between the top and the bottom. This led to the grassland Human rebellion.

As a person in power, you should understand the principle of taking advantage of the situation, rather than using your status to control everything. What Zhu Zhanji did was very unwise in Zhu Zhanhe's opinion.

In particular, Zhu Yong performed very well in the Chief Envoy of Japan and did not make any mistakes. Therefore, Zhu Zhanji used his power to suppress others and was wronged first. Later, after the rebellion occurred, he did not think about how to make up for it, but for his own sake. The situation is in a stalemate because of his lack of face, which is even more confusing.

"No wonder Jin Yiwei hasn't sent any news until now. It seems that it's not that they don't have any news, but that they don't dare to send it up at all!"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly whispered to himself.

Even though the Jinyiwei were seriously injured, since the grassland people's rebellion was such a big thing, it stands to reason that they should have sent the information long ago.

But now Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Yong have personally submitted letters to report, but there is still no news from Jinyiwei. The only explanation is that Jinyiwei dare not report it.

Because this matter not only involves Zhu Zhanji, but also Zhu Yong, and behind Zhu Yong is Zhu Zhanhe. The fight between the grandson and the prince of Han Dynasty is not something ordinary people dare to get involved in.

Especially the internal fight between Jin Yiwei last time was actually a fight between Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe. What was the result?All the Jin Yiwei supported by Zhu Zhanji were executed, and Liu Mian and others supported by Zhu Zhanhe went overseas.

The current Jinyiwei senior officials were all witnesses to this fight, so they did not dare to interfere in the affairs between Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe. Naturally, they did not dare to send in intelligence from Japan.
