Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 93 Rejecting King Jin’s return to Beijing
  Fourth child, what do you think of Qitai’s words?
  Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face. He knew that Zhu Di must be beating a drum in his heart when he saw how good Qitai was.

However, Zhu Di did not show it, but continued:

"Let me tell you, Father, what Master Qi said is very reasonable, and it can be said that he has penetrated the truth.

"I just want to add something.

"Really? Tell me.

Zhu Di said directly:

"My son believes that we should send people to Wala to bribe their leader.

"Now Mahamu is just the leader of the Choros tribe, and he is respected as Khan just because he is too powerful.

“It’s just that the other tribes in Oara, such as the Heshuote tribe, the Torhut tribe, and the Duerbot tribe, are not weak in strength.

“If we can drive a wedge between Oara, Oara should collapse immediately, and then we can start a war.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and realized that this was a good idea.

However, if Mahamu knew that the clan leaders of those tribes had already contacted Daming, then the relationship between those tribes would become even worse.

"Since you all have no objections, let's act accordingly. If there is nothing else, please leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to disperse.

After everyone dispersed, Zhu Di looked like he was hesitant to speak.

Inside the Nuan Pavilion.

Seeing Zhu Di standing alone in the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some confusion:
  "Fourth, what's wrong?"..."

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhu Di with some anxiety. He was worried that Zhu Di would add insult to injury again and mention Mr. Huang.

After all, Mr. Huang was in trouble, and he had to intercede for him. If Zhu Di sued again at this time, Mr. Huang would not be able to save his life.

Fortunately, Zhu Di did not mention Huang Zicheng's matter, but looked at Zhu Yuanzhang sadly.

"Father, I ask my father to summon the King of Jin to the capital.

“Third brother’s condition has lasted for nearly two months, but it has not improved.

"It's already very cold in the north, and now that the ice is coming, it's even more severe."

"My son, I beg my father to let my third brother return to Yingtian and nourish him with the water and soil of Jiangnan. Maybe his illness will be better.

Zhu Di's words were very sincere, and he still had true feelings for his third brother.

Zhu Di felt very uncomfortable. After all, he was his brother from the same mother, and now he was the only one left.

Zhu Di spoke from the bottom of his heart. He hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang could let King Jin return to Yingtian City. After all, it was warmer in Yingtian City than in Taiyuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di with complicated eyes, unable to say a word.

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he saw this scene. Now that King Jin has been recalled to the capital, the two most important leaders among the vassal kings will be lost.

At that time, after he ascends the throne, it will be much easier to eradicate the feudal king.

This time it was rare that Zhu Yunwen also stood on Zhu Di's side, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:
  "Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks what my fourth uncle said is reasonable.

The third uncle's illness has lasted for a long time, and the grandson is worried that something unexpected will happen if the time goes on too long. Therefore, I implore Grandpa Huang to recall the third uncle.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di and then at Zhu Yunzhen, already having concerns in his heart. If Zhu Di asked King Jin to return to the capital, he was sincere, but his grandson wanted King Jin to come back. What was the purpose of this is unknown.

Zhu Yuanzhang has also seen clearly in the past few days that the grandson who seemed obedient and obedient in the past is not as simple as he thought.

But when he thought of his old and frail body, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had the ability to depose the prince.

The prince is the foundation of this country. If he is replaced casually, the foundation of the country and the country will be destroyed in one day.

But the matter of recalling King Jin is not feasible.

"I have sent several imperial doctors to Taiyuan and told King Jin to take more rest. I believe that with the care of the imperial doctors, nothing serious will happen to King Jin.

"Taiyuan is an important place in the north, and he must be in charge. For the sake of the people in northern Xinjiang, why not suffer a little punishment?

When Zhu Di heard this, he was immediately startled.

He had long known from Bai Chu that King Jin's condition had reached a critical stage, and he did not believe that the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital could cure him.

Zhu Di wanted to invite King Jin back just to let Bai Chu see him in person. He believed that Bai Chu would find a way, so he ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's warning.

"Father, third brother's illness has become more and more serious."

"Stop talking, I have already decided."

Zhu Yuanzhang was determined and refused to change his mind, and later said as if to comfort himself.

"Your third brother is not yet thirty-nine years old and is in his prime. This little problem will definitely be fine.

Zhu Di had his own ideas, so why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang not have his own difficulties?
  The fourth child was imprisoned in the capital by him. If he summoned the King of Jin rashly, he would probably arouse the suspicion of the princes.

At that time, all the major vassal kings will have too much time to take care of themselves. Who can really guard the border?
  On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was also protecting Zhu Di.

King Jin and Zhu Di are half-brothers. If King Jin is still outside, even if Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, he can't do anything to Zhu Di. Otherwise, King Jin will definitely not let him go.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Jin King Zhu Ke probably saw that he had imprisoned Zhu Di, so he said that he was sick and refused to take charge.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want King Jin to come back. The north needed a pillar to support the sky. This person was either King Yan or King Jin.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Di away directly without waiting for Zhu Di to speak again. He will return to Beijing to report tomorrow and continue to practice his painting skills.

Peking

With the arrival of Wu Feng and Wang Du, Beiping suddenly started a bloody storm.

The prefect of Peiping was taken to prison without any interrogation at all. He was only tortured with the inhuman torture of the Jin Yiwei, and he quickly got the confession Wu Feng wanted.

Wu Feng is Jiang Wei's successor. Compared with Jiang Wei, he is more aware of current affairs and lower-key.

He did not want to make the same mistakes as Jiang Gu and Mao Ji, so Wu Feng paid great attention to keeping a low profile.

He was determined to complete the task assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang and didn't want to worry about anything else. Therefore, during this trip to Peking, Wu Feng knew very well that the people he had to deal with were just Huang Zicheng and his minions.

Soon, under the influence of the magistrate of Peiping, Peiping was quickly wiped out, and those who had taken refuge with Huang Zicheng were imprisoned.

As for the tribesmen Huang Zicheng arranged to take over Zhu Di's business in Peiping, their fate was even more tragic. They were all taken into the hands of the Jin Yiwei and subjected to rigorous interrogation.

In the end, all the evidence points to Huang Zicheng, which means that once Zhu Yuanzhang obtains the confession, Huang Zicheng will be executed. In addition to Huang Zicheng, even his family may be killed by the furious Zhu Yuanzhang.
