Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 316 The people’s voice: Zhu Silang becomes prime minister!
Outside the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion.

The scholars stood at the front, followed by the common people, blocking the entrance to the Xu Mansion.

If a group of scholars had not taken the lead, no matter how curious the people were, they would not dare to come to Zhuzi Lane and seek confirmation outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

The housekeeper and servants of the Xu Mansion stood on the steps, their faces full of pride.

Everyone knows that scholars and ordinary people come here to verify whether my uncle is Zhu Silang who has just been selected as the number one scholar.

The steward stood up with a proud face, bowed respectfully to the bottom of the steps, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone, this is the Duke of Wei's mansion. Please don't be crowded."

"We just want to know, is Zhu Zhuangyuan the King of Yan?"

"Yes, please let the steward know."

……

The people shouted.

A scholar stood up and bowed to the housekeeper, "We are candidates of the same class as Zhu Zhuangyuan, and we just want to verify whether King Yan is Zhu Silang, the number one scholar. If King Yan can come out and say a word to me, I would be very grateful."

The butler looked troubled.

He turned around and whispered: "I'm going to find my uncle. You guys are here to watch, and you are not allowed to give orders..."

Scholars and common people all come to me.

And their every move not only represents the Xu family, but also represents my uncle. They must not embarrass my uncle.

The servants nodded.

……

The living room of Xu Mansion.

Xu Da went to court.

At this moment, there are only a group of children at home.

Zhu Di and others gathered in the living room.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you go out and meet me?" Xu Zengshou asked with a hint of complaint, "It's a bit too much for you to put on airs like this. People will secretly say that you are condescending and arrogant..."

Xu Huizu smiled and glared, "Okay, you might as well just say that you want to show off with your brother-in-law!"

Xu Zengshou couldn't help but blush slightly and lowered his head.

Well, he did have that idea.

At this moment, all the houses in Zhuzi Lane must be waiting and watching.

Why did Lan Chun and others laugh at him and his second brother before?

It seems to say: 'You sister is so stupid, you actually married a mud-legged person...'

Now as long as he goes out with his brother-in-law and walks around in front of scholars and people, he will definitely make Lan Chun and others angry to death.

But there’s no need for brother to expose it, right?
A group of people looked at Xu Zengshou and burst into laughter...

Li Yu sat next to Xu Miaoyun and asked curiously: "Sister, why don't you go and meet your brother-in-law?"

Someone else would have gone out early!

"Uncle, uncle..."

Just as Xu Miaoyun was about to speak, the housekeeper ran in panting, wiped his sweat and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle, more and more people are gathering outside, please come out..."

Everyone looked at Zhu Di.

"No!" Before the butler could finish speaking, Zhu Di objected calmly, "Uncle Liu, go and tell the people outside the mansion that if you want to know anything, just ask the court. I have no responsibility to answer them."

The butler's smile froze.

My uncle's words are straightforward and inhumane.

He must convey it literally.

Privately, the people will definitely say that my uncle is not.

It seemed that he could only use his intelligence and wisdom to ensure that his uncle's intention remained unchanged, and to speak as beautifully as possible.

The butler responded and left in a hurry.

Zhu Di saw a group of brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, all looking at him.

Obviously, I don't understand why he is like this.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Zhu Di said with an angry smile: "I am not related to the people outside, and I have no responsibility for them..."

……

"What are those scholars doing outside the Xu Mansion? Could it be that they can't access the news that the common people can't access?"

These are the scholars who passed the exams and rushed to become Jinshi.

With their connections, it shouldn't be too easy to find out about him.

"When they come to Xu Mansion, they are not interested in drinking. They come here because of my identity as the Prince of the Ming Dynasty."

I just want to find a way out for myself.

He doesn't hate it, but he doesn't want to deal with such people.

People who come in droves in pursuit of fame and wealth will also leave in droves at any time.

"Brother-in-law, where are the common people?" Xu Huizu asked: "The common people should come to the local village community, why don't we see them?"

Zhu Di followed the sound and said, "Hui Zu, I heard that the old man is going to arrange for you to serve as a county magistrate soon. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you one more thing. You may not necessarily obey it. Just take it as a reference. After all, every day Individuals have different standards of doing things..."

"Why should I see the people outside?"

……

He is not related to the people outside.

He is not the father-in-law of Jinling, nor is he the prince of Ming Dynasty now.

It has no responsibility or obligation to the people outside!
……

The reason why the people are like this is simply because of the rural community and they regard him as the savior of a good life.

He is not.

I don’t want to be either.

He's quite selfish.

People who have nothing to do with him will never rush to help even if they see the other person encountering difficulties.

Responsibilities that do not belong to him will never be part of him.

……

"Believe it or not, in the future, if someone changes the original idea of ​​the rural village community, the people who support me now will follow the gentry and scold me the most."

In order to eliminate the biggest enemy of rural village communities: the gentry.

He all set Hu Weiyong as his target.

It became an untouchable taboo for gentry to invest in shares.

Whoever dares to suggest that the gentry buy shares in rural communities in the future is simply trying to influence the imperial power and having different aspirations!
Even so, he would not naively think that everything would be fine.

After all, he is just a minister.

After his father, eldest brother, and hero, he could not guarantee what the future emperor would be like.

He couldn't even guarantee how his eldest brother and Xiongying would treat rural communities as emperor.

He neither wants to be praised now nor does he want to be a great figure who changes an era. This is the responsibility of his father and elder brother.

I don’t even want to be cursed after my death in the future.

In the living room, everyone was silent...

Shortly after.

The housekeeper turned back to report that the scholars and common people outside the mansion left and went to the back of Hongwu Gate.

Everyone chatted for a while and dispersed.

Xu Huizu and his wife returned to the courtyard where the couple lived and sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Li Yu said in surprise: "Brother-in-law feels so strange to others today, and also very cold..."

Just now, her brother-in-law's words had a great impact on her.

Marry her into the Xu family.

The brother-in-law who understands through his own observation and listening to his husband's narration is completely different.

My brother-in-law said he was selfish.

There's nothing wrong with being selfish.

Let me ask you, who in the world is not selfish?
It's normal.

But when the brother-in-law spoke, the indifference that filled the entire living room was too cold, giving people the feeling that he had no compassion and was not a good person.

He is completely different from the brother-in-law he used to be, who talked and laughed with everyone and was very easy to get along with.

Xu Huizu came to his senses and said with a smile: "Your feeling is right. The reason why you have never seen this side of your brother-in-law before is because we are his relatives."

"Where are the villagers of Tuqiao Village?"

"In my brother-in-law's heart, the folks in Tuqiao Village are also family members."

……

"Do you know how people like Zhuzi Lane evaluate my brother-in-law?"

……

Royal Palace.

Royal study.

Liu Bowen sat on a small stool next to him and looked at Jiang Yu, who came in a hurry to salute Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Jiang Wei saluted,
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask: "How will Zhu Silang deal with the scholars and people outside the Xu Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, Zhu Silang didn't show up, so I asked the housekeeper of Xu Mansion to send someone to Hongwu Clan." Jiang Wei's face turned slightly pale.

He's still hurt.

As soon as he is able to take action, he will immediately return to Zhenfusi Yamen.

Just as he guessed.

On the fiftieth day after the staff was appointed, he received the imperial edict to be promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

"Bastard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and funny. He laughed and cursed and ordered: "Go and tell the people outside the imperial city that Zhu Silang is our fourth son Zhu Di!"

After Jiang Wei took the order and left.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to Liu Bowen, "His coldness in his bones makes us a little afraid sometimes..."

Such indifference.

It represents the ultimate calmness, rationality and ruthlessness!
It is difficult for external factors to interfere with his judgment.

Only an emperor who possesses this kind of indifference can enforce the law for the world!
At any time, it is impossible to clean away the filth.

But filth overpowers justice. It must be that the iron fist of justice is not strong enough!

His indifference is the result of a life full of twists and turns and hard experiences.

Where is the fourth child?
It seems to be innate. …

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt bored when he saw that Liu Bowen only listened but did not speak.

In fact, he wanted Liu Bowen to analyze and judge whether Lao Si and Biao'er could get along well.

But the old cunning man obviously didn't want to express his opinion in this regard.

He glared angrily and then changed the subject, "Hu Weiyong has resigned. We have also asked the imperial doctor about his situation. He has been unfit to be an official for a long time and needs to rest. We want you to succeed Hu Weiyong as the left prime minister." …”

"His Majesty!"

Liu Bowen stood up in a panic and was about to kneel down, "I am old and frail, and it is difficult for me to take on important responsibilities. I recommend to your Majesty the Duke of Korea..."

Li Shanchang has such a strong desire for power.

We have known each other for many years, he knew it very well.

As far as he knew, Li Shanchang had been actively operating in the past few days.

At his age, he didn't want to be at odds with Li Shanchang.

snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, "Li Shanchang is not among our considerations..."

The knife-sharpening plan, the foundation laying of the local village community, the preparation for the battle to destroy the Yuan Dynasty for Biao'er, etc.

Many major events are focused on the next few years.

To be honest, he was really worried about Hu Weiyong being the left prime minister.

Preparations for food, horses, and weapons for the battle to destroy the Yuan Dynasty.

He bypassed the Ministry of War.

Directly and secretly ordered Wen Zhong to handle the matter in the Governor's Mansion.

At the same time, let Tiande assist.

Now, by chance, Hu Weiyong has vacated this position.

He must choose someone who is dedicated to public service and capable.

Tiande, Liu Bowen and Tang He are the best choices.

Liu Bowen is the first choice.

As for Li Shanchang, he didn't think about it at all.

This man has talent.

But the selfishness and desires are too strong.

"The sharpening plan, rural village communities, and the battle to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, all of them are related to the Ming Dynasty and millions of people. Do you recommend Li Shanchang? Can Li Shanchang treat these three things with a public heart?"

"You helped us conquer the world, but due to various reasons, you didn't have a chance to show off in building the world, so you were willing to..."

……

Liu Bowen heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was oppressing people with his righteousness again.

It's a radical again.

Can't help but smile wryly.

Want to say, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, did he ever think about becoming prime minister and displaying his talents?
Of course I thought about it!

However, his reputation was too great at the time.

The Ming Dynasty had just been established, and there was the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside. However, due to internal interests, it quickly collapsed.

The emperor was walking on thin ice and dared not use him no matter what.

Both he and Zhongshan Hou Tanghe understood this truth.

Therefore, when Emperor Zhu suppressed them, he accepted it happily.

But now at this age...

Seeing Liu Bowen's hesitation, Zhu Yuanzhang directly gave an overbearing order: "Be prepared. If Hu Weiyong resigns for the third time, we will agree and appoint you as prime minister!"

"The minister obeys the order."

Liu Bowen took the order with a complicated expression.

The next few years will definitely not be peaceful.

The knife-sharpening plan, the foundation of the rural village community, the prince's northern expedition to destroy the Yuan Dynasty...

Just take one thing and it's very complicated.

Now, three things will happen one after another in the next few years, and they will happen superimposed.

At his age, only God knows whether he can make it out alive...

……

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded Liu Bowen to finalize the appointment of prime minister.

Jiang Wei also appeared in the imperial city.

As far as the eye can see, there is a crowd of scholars and common people.

'That's it now. Zhu Silang is no longer low-key and tolerant. What will happen in the future? '

The thoughts in my mind disappeared in a flash.

He doesn't dare to make any small moves now.

The emperor's next punishment will be to kill him.

Zhu Silang could only leave it to people like Hu Weiyong and Lu Ben.

When they succeeded in killing Zhu Silang, he took the opportunity to get rid of Mao Aliu.

……

He collected his thoughts, turned around, and ordered: "Beat the drum to keep the people quiet."

dong dong dong...

After the commander-in-chief took the order, drums soon sounded from the top of the city.

The noise fell instantly.

A pair of eyes noticed Jiang Wei and stared at him closely.

Jiang Wei took a deep breath, mustered up all his strength, and said loudly: "Zhu Silang, the number one scholar, is the demoted fourth prince, King Yan Zhu Di!"

The scholars and common people near the city wall were stunned for a moment.

The next second, there was an uproar!

"It's King Yan!"

"It's really King Yan!"

"Zhu Zhuangyuan is the King of Yan!"

"The one who traveled thousands of miles to triumph, and who continuously sprinted through the imperial examinations and won the top prize, and proposed bidding for tax packages and rural village communities, were all the same person, King Yan!"

"The King of Yan is capable of both civil and military skills!"

……

Jiang Wei heard the people cheering excitedly, and his face turned pale slightly, "Is this Zhu Silang's prestige now?"He was so indifferent to the people outside Xu Mansion, why didn't it have any impact?Why! '

too frightening.

The cheers below are scary!
These people are all idiots!Do they know Zhu Silang's indifference?

Six official offices.

Cheers came in.

All the officials walked out of the official room with solemn expressions, gathered together in small groups, held their breath and listened intently.

After a moment, they looked at each other in horror.

……

In the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen were also alerted and walked to the door.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, but could not hear the specific content, but he could hear the cheers, and the corners of his mouth could not help but grin to both sides.

Liu Bowen was not as optimistic as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Glancing at Zhu Yuanzhang from the corner of his eye, deep worry flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't see clearly the future of Ming Dynasty.

……

On that day, the whole Jinling was in a sensation.

The true news is so exciting.

King Zhu Di of Yan led a thousand soldiers last year to join forces with 20 cavalrymen in the North Yuan Dynasty to attack and suppress the enemy. He traveled thousands of miles and brought back the national jade seal, captured the princess of the North Yuan Dynasty, and prompted Goryeo to abandon the North Yuan Dynasty and pay tribute to the imperial court.

Some time ago, it was reported that the Northern Elder Khan also died.

It is said that the Northern Elder Khan could have lived longer.

But last year King Yan slaughtered the entire grassland, and the old Khan was so angry that he vomited blood and his condition worsened...

Zhu Silang continuously sprinted for the imperial examination and successfully passed the first prize. Zhu Silang was the initiator of the bidding tax package promoted by the Crown Prince with an iron fist.

Zhu Silang was the first to implement the rural village community that the imperial court was about to implement, and was noticed by the imperial court...

The people who did these great things...

It's the same person!
King Zhu Di of Yan was capable of both literary and martial arts, and his excellent literary and martial arts skills were astonishing!
……

When the news of Hu Weiyong's second resignation spread.

Almost no one talks about Hu Weiyong.

On the contrary, the heated discussion about Zhu Di was pushed to another climax.

"The position of left prime minister is vacant, and I support King Yan to become left prime minister."

"The King of Yan is capable of both literary and military skills, so he is suitable to serve as the left prime minister!"

"The King of Yan will serve as the left prime minister? Can the prince agree? The reason why King Yan was demoted to a commoner was because he fought for the heir apparent."

"I don't care, I only know that if the King of Yan serves as the left prime minister, he will severely punish the officials. The King of Yan is brave enough to control the grasslands. Wen Neng proposes bidding for tax farming and rural communities. If the King of Yan serves as the left prime minister, we ordinary people will definitely benefit!"

……

During the discussion, the content of the discussion gradually changed.

All officials in the DPRK were keenly aware of this.

An undercurrent immediately surged.

……

Xu House.

Mu Ying stood at the door of the mansion, looked up, took a deep breath, walked up the steps, came to the door of the mansion, handed over the greeting card, "Help pass this greeting card to your uncle." .”

……

　Ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
