Chapter 112 Queen Ma recovers

The parallel world of Ming Dynasty.

Hongwu 15 years, April.

Ever since Zhu Quan showed his cards to Zhu Yuanzhang, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He became the first prince in the Ming Dynasty to be granted the title of king as a minor, and was granted the title of Prince Ning.

Lao Zhu also gave him the gift of opening a mansion and building teeth, with the same rituals as the three divisions.

Kaifu means moving out of the palace and having his own private territory, Prince Ning's Mansion.

Jianya means establishing one's own guard. There are usually three guards, and the number of each guard ranges from 3000 to 9000. The number of three guards is 9000 to 7000.

The three divisions are the three divisions. The three divisions are Taishi, Taifu and Taibao. The three divisions are Taiwei, Situ and Sikong. They are equivalent to having the power to appoint subordinates to official positions.

After finishing the chat with the group members, Zhu Quan hurried to the palace to find Lao Zhu with the anti-disease pill.

"What, you contacted that Immortal Master Su and asked for an elixir that can cure all diseases?"

When Lao Zhu heard Zhu Quan's words, he couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of surprise.

"Yes, the disease-removing elixir is here, and it will surely cure the Queen's illness."

Zhu Quan did not explain that the elixir was not given by Su Qing, but that he bought it with his own points.

He took out a dark brown elixir the size of a dragon's eye and handed it to Lao Zhu.

"Hurry, the girl is saved."

Lao Zhu took the elixir and ran to the harem, not wanting to waste a moment.

Not to mention, even though Lao Zhu is getting older, he disappeared in a flash.

Zhu Quan followed and walked to Kunning Palace where Queen Ma lived.

By the time he arrived at Kunning Palace, the matter was over.

There was a pool of black blood on the floor of Kunning Palace. It must have been vomited by Queen Ma after taking the anti-disease pill.

At this time, Queen Ma's expression was very different from before.

Her face was rosy and shiny, and she was full of energy, as if she had been reborn.

"Xiao Shiqi is here. The queen mother heard from your father that you asked the immortal master for this elixir. The queen mother must thank you very much."

Seeing Zhu Quan step into Kunning Palace, Queen Ma stepped forward and took his hand, saying with a kind face.

"Thank you, Uncle Seventeen, for saving Grandma Huang and me."

The emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying jumped down from the bed and bowed solemnly to Zhu Quan.

Eight-year-old Zhu Xiongying is three and a half years older than Zhu Quan, but a generation younger than him.

"Your Highness the Grandson of the Emperor is very polite. The Queen is ill. I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart. I wish I could take my own life to take her place."

"Now that I have the ability, I should try my best to find a way to make the queen recover."

Zhu Quan quickly stepped out of the way and did not receive a salute from Zhu Xiongying.

It was just a disease-repelling pill, and he didn't really care about it.

Besides, he was originally raised by Queen Ma, so he has to admit and repay this love.

As long as Queen Ma does not die, Lao Zhu will not go on a killing spree, and the future of Ming Dynasty will change for the better.

"Haha, Shiqi, you did a good job with this. My sister's illness is cured, so we can rest assured."

"Fortunately we didn't ask a eunuch to test the medicine, otherwise it would have been a waste."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat cross-legged on the bed, his face flushed, and he looked very excited.

"I just said that Seventeen will not harm me. If you let the little eunuch try the medicine, my illness will not be cured."

Empress Ma rolled her eyes at him and said, "We can't let Shi Qi ask for another elixir, right?"

"Hey, we can't help you, you have the final say."

"You have just recovered from your serious illness, so take a good rest first. We still have official business to deal with."

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly got out of bed and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Everyone responded in unison and sent him off respectfully, and Zhu Quan followed suit.

"Boy, are you okay? If not, tell us what happened after our death."

After leaving Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhu Quan and refused to leave.

Zhu Quan thought that there was nothing wrong, so he followed him to Fengtian Hall.

After the two sat down, Zhu Quan asked: "What does your Majesty want to know? I will tell you everything you know."

"Tell me, after we passed away, why did that boy Yun Wen lose the world after sitting on the throne for four years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled. Logically speaking, since he would give the throne to Zhu Yunwen, it meant that he was very satisfied with Zhu Yunwen.

Otherwise, why didn't he give the throne to Zhu Yunxi, or Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di?

Since Zhu Yunwen could satisfy him, why did he lose the world in just four years? Could it be that he had misunderstood that this kid was a waste?

Even if Lao Si wanted to rebel and challenge the entire Ming Dynasty with a vassal territory, it would be incredible for him to succeed in his rebellion.

"There were many reasons for the defeat of Emperor Jianwen. Scholars of later generations have summarized several reasons. Let me tell them to Your Majesty."

Zhu Quan thought about it for a moment and said, "First, blindly cutting down vassals, there is no family affection at all."

"In the third month after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to issue an order to cut down the vassal vassal, and put aside his promise to His Majesty to 'give both kindness and power'."

"In one year, more than ten vassal kings were cut off. First, he took away the fifth brother's position as King of Zhou, deposed the fifth brother as a commoner, and demoted him to Menghua, Yunnan."

"Then, he issued a series of decrees to take away the thrones of the seventh brother, the twelfth brother, and the thirteenth brother, and deposed them as common people."

"He put the seventh brother under house arrest in Yingtian Mansion and the thirteenth brother under house arrest in Datong. He will not be able to leave even half a step for the rest of his life."

"Brother Twelve couldn't bear the humiliation, so in order to protect his reputation, his whole family set themselves on fire."

"Subsequently, he issued an order to depose his eighteenth brother as King of Min, depose him as a commoner, and demote him to Zhangzhou."

"In order to protect himself, the fourth brother had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and eat the rotten rice from the bucket to escape."

"From then on, all the kings were in danger, and Zhu Yunwen lost the hearts of the royal family."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank suddenly and his eyes turned red.

He has always valued blood and family ties the most. Even if his other sons are not liked by him, they are still his sons, Zhu Yuanzhang.

As a father, he can scold and hit him, but others cannot say a bad word.

Good fellow, when he died, the king he personally chose to succeed him actually forced his sons to this point.

Worse than animals!
Fortunately, all this will happen in the future. He has already deposed Zhu Yunwen's mother and concubine. This kid will never be qualified to inherit the throne.

Zhu Yuanzhang endured his temper, patiently, and continued to listen.

"Second, they are greedy for false fame and hypocritical benevolence!"

Zhu Quan continued: "After the fourth brother raised an army to quell the crisis, the two sides were on the verge of war. However, Emperor Jianwen still cared about the relationship between his uncle and nephew, and said to the generals who led the expedition, 'Don't let me be blamed for killing my uncle.' Being under heavy constraints, you will lose more and win less."

"Your Majesty, tell me, is he hypocritical?"

"The battle has already been fought, but he still insists on doing it like this. It makes it seem like the person who cut down the feudal clan and forced uncle to commit suicide is not him."

After saying the second reason, Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked. "You talk about kindness and morality, but you are full of evil! You are so stupid!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and commented without hesitation.

There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, let alone uncles and nephews?
Now that you have made up your mind to cut down the vassal, you should be more ruthless and cut it down to the end.

Either don't do it, or do it if you want to do it.

I was cutting my feudal clan, and suddenly I realized that I was worried about the friendship between uncle and nephew. What was going on?
What is not stupid?
"Third, you believe in what others say and have no opinions."

"When Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, he listened to the suggestions of Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qitai and began to reduce the vassal status."

"Although these three people are full of knowledge, they are all Zhao Kuo's talents on paper, not all-round civil and military talents like Han Xin."

"After the Jing Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen listened to the advice of these three people and left Xu Yungong, Duke of Wei and Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, who were knowledgeable in military affairs and good at fighting, without using them. Instead, he appointed Duke Cao Li Jinglong as the general and asked him to lead an army of 50 in the Northern Expedition, resulting in an army of 50. Defeated at the hands of 5 men, Fourth Brother, the success was in vain."

"It can be said that Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qitai are the three most responsible for the fourth brother's success in winning the world."

"Some people even suspect that the three of them are the traitors that the fourth brother planted around Zhu Yunwen."

After hearing this, Lao Zhu frowned even more tightly.

50 people lost to 5 people. Is this Li Jinglong a pig?

As long as you know a little bit about military affairs, if you use 50 people to drag him down, you can drag Zhu Di's 5 people to death, right?
"Where are Xu Da, Fu Youde, Li Wenzhong, and that guy Lan Yu? We remember that we had so many powerful generals. Why did these people disappear after we died?"

After listening for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that his old brothers were missing, and only the juniors were left?

"Well, Xu Da died of illness in the 18th year of Hongwu, and His Majesty posthumously named him King of Zhongshan; as for Li Wenzhong, he died of illness in the 17th year of Hongwu and was posthumously named King of Qiyang."

Zhu Quan glanced at him and said calmly: "As for Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others, the prince died of illness. His Majesty was worried that the young Zhu Yunwen could not suppress the old Huaixi tribe, so he gave them to death."

"In the 26th year of Hongwu, Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others were sentenced to death."

"In the same year, the Lanyu case occurred, and His Majesty killed 5000 people including Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heshou, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shunshuo, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, He Rong, the East Guan Bo, Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Fu Youwen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, etc. And they were skinned and harvested, their homes were ransacked, and three clans were exterminated."

"So, by the time Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, all the old Huaixi tribesmen were basically dead."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was instantly silenced.

Yes, if the prince and the emperor's grandson died one after another, he would definitely be able to do such a thing.

As an emperor, maintaining his own rule is the first priority.

As for the old brothers, I have no choice but to apologize to them and ask them to go on their way.

"How did these three fools enter the court?"

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to ask about the origins of Fang Xiaoru and the others.

"Fang Xiaoru was a disciple of the great scholar Song Lian and was deeply trusted by Emperor Jianwen. After the fourth brother ascended the throne, he ordered him to draft the imperial edict on the throne. If he did not comply, he was executed by the Ten Clan."

"Qi Tai was a member of the Yingtian Township Examination in the 17th year of Hongwu. He became a Jinshi the following year. After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he was ordered to participate in state affairs with Huang Zicheng and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War. In the fourth year of Jianwen, the capital fell, and Qi Tai traveled to other counties. Trying to revive him; he was caught by Fourth Brother's soldiers and died unyielding, and the nine clans were wiped out."

"Huang Zicheng was a member of the imperial examination in the 18th year of Hongwu. He first served as a reading companion in the East Palace and met Emperor Jianwen. After his fourth brother ascended the throne, he killed nine tribes and his female family members served as official prostitutes for generations."

Zhu Quan said calmly: "Strictly speaking, the three of them are still the auxiliary ministers you selected for Emperor Jianwen."

"What, you mean those three idiots were chosen by us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief.

He couldn't believe it. With his knowledge of people, how could he choose three fools?
"Yes, that's right, His Majesty chose him."

Zhu Quan nodded and confirmed again: "In general, Emperor Jianwen's defeat was due to his indecisiveness and unclear understanding of people. He brought it upon himself and cannot blame others."

"We see what you mean."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he asked again: "Then tell us, how did your eldest brother die?"

The imperial physician checked Zhu Biao's body and found that everything was normal and there was no disease.

He couldn't understand why the good prince passed away suddenly?
"His Royal Highness, in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, he was ordered to inspect Guanzhong. On the way back, he contracted wind and cold and died."

Zhu Quan replied: "To put it simply, he is exhausted."

Since the abolition of the prime minister system that had existed for more than a thousand years in the 13th year of Hongwu's reign, centralization of power has reached its peak.

But correspondingly, without the help of the prime minister, the emperor's work became much busier.

According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed and approved more than 200 memorials every day, and had more than 400 state affairs to deal with.

Since the tenth year of Hongwu, Abiao has assisted Lao Zhu in handling government affairs and served as the executive deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

With so much work every day, he often has to work until very late before he can rest.

In the 15 years since he helped Lao Zhu handle state affairs until his death, 007's high-intensity work every day would have exhausted even a cow.

"Nonsense, how could Biao'er die of exhaustion? That's nonsense."

Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard and stared, full of disbelief.

"That's what the history books say anyway. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."

Zhu Quan spread his hands with an indifferent attitude.

A Biao died in history, but A Biao is still alive and well now.

As long as he, Zhu Quan, is here, A Biao will never be allowed to die.

As for historical records, what does it matter whether Lao Zhu believes them or not?

"That's it. Then let's make it easier for Biao'er in the future and not deal with so many state affairs."

Seeing that Zhu Quan's words were true to his word and didn't look like he was lying, Lao Zhu believed him.

But we can't go on like this. It's not worth it if we are so exhausted.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is relieved. Who will handle the government affairs?"

Zhu Quan grinned and said: "With such heavy government affairs, your Majesty is not afraid that you will die from exhaustion?"

Anyway, one of the two men will be exhausted, it depends on what Lao Zhu chooses.

"Ok?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but frowned.

"What did the fourth child do after he ascended the throne?"

After thinking for a while, Lao Zhu asked, "Is he too lazy to let the prince help with government affairs?"

The eldest son of Zhu Di, the fourth son, Zhu Gaochi, is four years old, and the second son, Zhu Gaoxu, is also two years old.

If the fourth child ascends the throne in 20 years, the eldest son will be 24 years old and can handle government affairs.

"Well, you could say that, but that's not the case."

Zhu Quan thought for a while and explained: "After the fourth brother ascended the throne, he established a cabinet system, using Hanlin bachelor counselors as confidential officials to help him handle government affairs."

"But in the middle and late period, the fourth brother personally conquered the Tatar and Oara tribes five times, and fought abroad all the year round. The major affairs of the government were basically handed over to the eldest nephew of the prince Gao Chi."

"Later generations even said that nephew Gao Chi was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the fourth brother was just his son's expedition general."

Uh. Cabinet?Wala?Expeditionary general?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dumbfounded.

　I saw my adoptive father saying that the back was very wet.
　　Let me explain in a low voice that it is necessary to write about the development of group members.

　　Is it possible to pass them all in one go?Only write the results, not the process?
　　It's not written like this.
