Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 265 Is that so?

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You did a good job in your investigation this time, and you actually found out that it was a Hu man, and it was not Arutai or Mahamu, but the man who was killed by Ulrich himself.

Is this the end? "

"good."

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a look of contempt on his face: "I thought that you wouldn't be so cowardly after following me for so many years. But now it seems that you don't have the courage at all, which makes me very disappointed."

Jiang Rui looked pale and raised his head blankly, "Your Majesty, these are the facts that I found out through investigation. If the Emperor still wants me to investigate, I will investigate right away. I will seek justice for the Emperor and satisfy the Emperor!"

"no need.

Jiang Rui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed his head and walked out of the hall.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Rui had become calm. The adjutant beside him asked: "Commander Jiang, what are your orders from the emperor?"

They also say that I am incompetent and not dedicated.But in the end, the emperor's approval was obtained. "Jiang Ai said lightly.

The general frowned and said: "Commander Jiang, why don't we stop? With so many barbarians entering the capital, someone must be sending them things to cover their tracks. I think as long as we continue to investigate, we should be able to You can find out who is behind it.”

Jiang Rui stared at him coldly and said, "Are you coveting my position as commander?"

The general was startled when he heard the words, and then shook his head again and again.

I never wanted to follow the leader's lead. "

"In that case, why are you going against me?"

Pianjiang opened his eyes and defended himself loudly: "General, why am I going to kill you?"

"immediately."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Ah?"

Jiang Rui sneered and said: "The situation in the capital is very strange now. Above the court, the ministers and generals of the Prince's Sun Party all asked the Emperor to punish Prince Su in memorials, and some ministers even proposed to cut down the vassal and cede territory. Your Majesty has your orders, I will The investigation must be clear. No matter how clear the investigation is, I will offend a force. "This is the best ending. Although I will be reprimanded by the emperor, my life will not be in danger."I'm getting older and it's almost time to retire. I won't cause trouble if I can.It would be nice of you to involve me too. "

"General, is the situation dangerous now?"

"Yes, I'm afraid the danger is far greater than we thought." Jiang Rui glanced at the general and said coldly: "You are still young and have never seen Hu Weiyong with your own eyes. Before Hu Weiyong was killed, everyone thought Hu Weiyong made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and he was loyal to the emperor. The emperor would not do anything to him. What was the result? The city was bleeding and corpses were everywhere."

"The emperor has always had his own way and will never be coerced by others. When doing things, he pays attention to being crisp and neat, rather than sticking to rules. Therefore, anyone who blocks the emperor will have only one end."

"General, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Rui sighed and asked, "What is the most dangerous thing in the past?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "What's the matter?"

"Of course it was to compete for the throne of the prince. In the pre-Qin period, Qin Shihuang crushed Fusu to death before he died. Later, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne. In order to defend the throne, he killed all his relatives and friends. For example, in the Tang Dynasty Xuanwu Gate, the candlelight of the Song Dynasty.

"Every time there is a change of dynasty, every time a legitimate son is seized, there will be countless casualties."

"Commander Jiang, are you saying that the rumors in the capital are true or false? Is the emperor trying to support King Su? But King Su is just a feudal official and the heir to the throne. It is not his turn to inherit the throne, right? ?" "What's wrong? The world is not yours, you can do whatever you want! But he doesn't want to see his bloodline being harmed, and he will try his best to plan for his future."

Jiang Rui paused and then said: "Let's see if these officials agree first. If they agree, then the emperor's handling method will be slightly relaxed."

"What if you don't agree?"

"Then, the emperor will hold the sword of imperial power and clear the way for King Su. "I said, we'd better not get involved in such a thing and let them do it. When they do it, maybe one day, their nine tribes will Everyone will be on our side! "

Went to heaven. "

"You are really wise and powerful and know how to protect yourself." Pian Jiang complimented.

Jiang Rui shook his head and sighed: "Commander of the Jinyi Guards, these two words sound scary, and all civil and military officials are very afraid. We are just a knife in the emperor's hand. What we want to do, we must do." , we can't do anything, civil officials don't like us, and military generals don't like us either.

"My whole life, I have always been like no one else. Therefore, I have always been conscientious and diligent in my work. Therefore, I have been able to serve His Majesty for decades without making any mistakes...

"Mr. Huang, as a national advisor, you are supposed to assist His Majesty the Emperor. How can you stand idly by in this situation?"

In this turbulent capital, the ministers who supported the emperor's grandson came to Huang Zicheng's house one after another to consult him.

Zhang Yu sighed and continued: "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor began to ennoble the princes and gave them half of the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If this continues, these vassal kings will only become more terrifying, and the Ming Dynasty will also become more and more terrible. It is getting weaker and weaker, and when the time comes, it will be time for seven countries to go to war at the same time."

The atmosphere in the temple at this time was really weird.

Now, 29 years have passed for him, and he is about to enter his 30th year. From a shepherd to this position step by step, his reign is coming to an end.

He is nearly 70 years old.

In the past 30 years, the national power of the Ming Dynasty has been rising steadily, and its territory, population, military strength, and wealth have all made great progress. Today, the Ming Dynasty is like a six or seven-year-old boy, facing the rising sun, full of energy.

At this time, the biggest headache for the Ming Dynasty was the problems of various vassal states under the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was very powerful, he could suppress all forces, so everything he wanted to do was done in a strict manner, and all the princes obeyed his orders.

But what if the emperor dies?
Who else can suppress them?
Therefore, they gathered together to discuss how to get the emperor to cut off the vassal kings, make the vassal kings stronger, and make the Ming Dynasty stronger, so that a better handover could be achieved.

"The treasury of the Ming Dynasty is too expensive to support the kings. It is really a heavy expense." Xie Gui replied.

"At this time, how can we care about the feudal officials!" Zhang Yu looked around, frowned slightly, and said: "This is the current emperor, who wants to change his reserve. Everyone knows that this matter has great consequences for us. importance.”

Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.

"Mr. Zhang, are you trying to scare me? This is just a rumor coming from the capital, so why should you care?"

"Yes, the emperor's grandson is gentle and gentle, and he is the eldest son in the family. According to the clan system, he must be made the prince no matter what."

"Yes, in our eyes, he is a wise emperor. It is impossible for him to change the prince."

Although Zhu Yunxuan is young, he is a gentle man. He has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child. He pursues perfect governance and is the best emperor in everyone's eyes.
