high official

Chapter 792
In Nanjing City, the chaotic atmosphere since the rebellion of the King of Han has finally calmed down, because Emperor Yongle is finally returning to Beijing!
As the saying goes, before the rainstorm comes, the wind and thunder go first!Before returning to Beijing, Zhu Di's edicts one after another have already messed up the Ming army!He sent Zhao Ying and other trusted eunuchs, holding the Tianzi sword, to the capital, various provinces, and the major military camps on the nine borders, and detained all the officers above the commander in chief in the camp, regardless of indiscriminate indiscriminate!Only those generals who have been verified to have nothing to do with the King of Han can re-lead the army under strict inspection by Zhao Ying!As long as anyone who has a relationship with the King of Han... don't say that they are very close, even if it is an ordinary correspondence, as long as they are found out and the evidence is obtained, they will all be dismissed on the spot, sent to the capital, and continue to be strictly interrogated!
As for the armies without generals, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng, Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan, and Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, will either personally sit in town, or send confidant generals to temporarily lead them!
"It's really wind and thunder!" These days, on the way back to Beijing with the driver, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and other cabinet ministers drafted countless edicts for dismissal, exemption, imprisonment, and house raids. This has not yet entered the stage of conviction!Based on the knowledge of the few cabinet ministers about the emperor, it will be a bloodbath and tens of thousands of people will be killed!
"Unexpectedly," Hu Yan sighed, "It's been less than ten years since it stopped, and it's going to experience another human tragedy."

Yang Rong and Jin Youzi also think so. They were both born in the early years of Hongwu, and Hu Yan was born in the Yuan Dynasty. There is also Yongle Chaoguaman copying, every time it is Shenzhou changing color and Wanjia crying!Even if I am not involved in it, there must be relatives and friends who suffer because of it, and they hate the horrible atmosphere where everyone is in danger!
"Can you try to resolve it..." Hu Yan said softly.

Yang Rong and Jin Youzi looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. The former got up and closed the door, while the latter said to Hu Yan in a deep voice: "Yuanfu, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Only by letting the poisonous blood flow out once can Da Ming be restored to a long-term peace!"

What he said was vague, but Hu Yan deeply understood that in the eyes of civil officials like them, a military general full of hostility is the root of the country's turmoil and the loss of life!Which turmoil in the Ming Dynasty was not caused by ambitious generals? !This rebellion of the King of Han is the best illustration of the problem. Those honorable generals easily rebelled with Zhu Gaoxu. On the one hand, it is true that they were too involved to disembark, but the more important reason was the deep-seated problems of those generals—they Violent, simple-minded, and ambitious, they are like a pile of dry wood poured with oil, as long as a spark, they can ignite a raging fire!

So Jin Youzi's words are easy to understand, not only can't try to calm things down, but also add fuel to the flames, let the emperor completely sweep the noble generals out of the stage of history!In this way, these civil officials who have been suppressed for decades have the opportunity to stand in the center of the stage and personally shape a long-lasting Ming Dynasty!
"This way..." The reason is very simple, and the pros and cons are easy to dissect... The harder the emperor punishes the nobles, the more beneficial it will be for the prince and the civil servants!It's just this simple truth, behind the obvious power, is the blood of tens of thousands of people, and the tragedy of tens of thousands of people...

After all, Hu Yan couldn't bear it and said, "So what's the difference between us and them?"

"Yuanfu's words, the lower officials don't agree." Jin Youzi said seriously: "It's like there are ten people in the room, and a murderer with a knife suddenly broke into the house. Did he kill the murderer to keep the ten people safe? Or worry about it? I also have blood on my hands, and watch that murderer slaughter those ten innocent people?"

"This..." Hu Yan was stopped by the question.

"Yuanfu, what we are doing is for the people of the world and the great Ming community, not for personal gain!" At this time, Yang Rong, who had been silent all along, also said, "If I can kill one person and protect ten, then I am willing to kill this person! Even if someone calls him a murderer, I don't care!"

"Hey..." Hu Yan was persuaded, nodded and said: "Try not to implicate the family..."

"Of course!" Jin Youzi nodded and said, "Our purpose is to save people and save the country, not to vent personal anger!"

"Speaking of..." Hu Yan nodded again, began to enter the role and said: "This time, none of King Zhao's people moved. Could it be that King Zhao has passed this pass?"

"Yes, the emperor only dismissed Yuan Rong from his official position. He is the Habayashi guard who is responsible for the emperor's safety, and he is duty-bound...but the emperor doesn't seem to have any intention of pursuing it." Jin Youzi nodded. He and Yang Rong had experienced the Nanhaizi incident. The whole process, knowing that in that assassination, Zhao Wang definitely played a disgraceful role, but there is no evidence.But with the character of the emperor, if he really wanted to deal with him, he still needed evidence?
"Maybe," Yang Rong said slowly, "If the King of Han and King Zhao are dealt with at the same time, the scandal of the two brothers trying to kill their father and brother will be confirmed, and the emperor cannot accept it."

"It makes sense." Hu Yan nodded twice, and said in his heart that it was true, then the emperor would lose face at home!What the Chinese talk about is Xiu Qi Zhiping!Before the Qi family was still ruling the country and the world, if the son joins forces to murder the father, even if the emperor makes perfect martial arts, it will still be a joke in the history books...

.

Just when several cabinet scholars were guessing why King Zhao was not held accountable, Zhu Zhanji was also troubled by the same problem.But he didn't dare to say it, because at this moment, he was serving in front of the king with his third uncle!

"You don't need to be nervous," Zhu Di looked at the children and grandchildren, and saw that they were all anxious. In fact, they were not the only ones, even Zhu Di was full of doubts at the moment!State affairs and family affairs were mixed together, which made the Emperor of Ming Dynasty feel deeply powerless.He leaned back on the easy chair, and slowly said: "Tomorrow we will cross the river, and I can't sleep, so I want you to come over and have a chat, to pass the long night."

"Ah..." Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaosui didn't believe it. Zhu Di dragged them out of bed in the middle of the night just to find someone to chat with!The latter smiled and said: "Father still needs to rest early. If you can't fall asleep, I can read a few scriptures for you to soothe your nerves, and maybe you can fall asleep."

"Hehe..." Zhu Di showed a gratified smile on his face, and said lightly: "Yaoer has always been filial and well-behaved, I don't understand, why would someone say you want to murder me?"

Zhu Gaosui was terrified by Zhu Di's words behind him, so he hurriedly knelt down and said in a panic: "Father, Emperor Mingjian! Where did this rumor come from? This is to kill my son!" He said with tears: "My son! I have never had any ambitions, I am timid, and I love my father so much, how could I do something that is inferior to a beast?! My son swears to the sky, if I have such a thought, I will be struck by lightning and forever Fall into eighteen levels of hell!"

"Okay, okay," Zhu Di said lightly, "I said it, but I don't believe it either." He looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Grandson, do you believe it?"

Zhu Zhanji said in his heart: "Can I say I don't believe it?" I just shook my head and said with a smile, "Don't say that I don't believe the third uncle's rumors, I don't even believe the second uncle's rumors!"

Hearing his words, Zhu Gaosui cursed inwardly, the little bastard compares me with the second child, because he is afraid that the emperor will let me go!

"Well," Zhu Di seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of Zhu Zhanji's words, nodded approvingly and said, "A close relative with broken bones and tendons would rather think about the good than the bad."

"Yes..." Zhu Zhanji's heart was turned upside down, although it seemed to be chatting, but this was actually the red line drawn by the emperor to his father and son-the victorious party must not kill them all!To maintain royal decency!To be precise, it is to maintain the emperor's dignity!
Zhu Gaosui was going crazy with joy, after what his father said, who would dare to slander himself with trumped-up charges?Anyway, this hurdle is over!
"Yaoer," Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaosui with complicated eyes.Among the three sons, his favorite is the youngest son who is most like Empress Xu. Zhu Di is extremely unwilling to believe that he will collude with assassins to murder him, and even intentionally or unintentionally avoids investigating the matter, lest something will be found out and let him How is this feeling of being a father? ! "In the future, your elder brother will handle state affairs. If your second elder brother can't do it, you should spend more time with your father..."

"Yes." Zhu Gaosui lowered his head, he knew that this was the last time the emperor gave himself a wake-up call to cut off those unrealistic delusions, and An Anshun played the role of a loving father and filial son with him... Zhu Gaosui kept sneering in his heart Said: "What's the difference between that and killing me?" ! 'But if he can escape the next storm, he should burn incense. How dare he expect too much? !
"Go and have a rest." Zhu Di lowered his eyelids, stopped looking at him, and told Zhu Zhanji, "Zhanji, give Grandpa Huang a foot."

"Yes." The two responded at the same time, Zhu Gaosui withdrew, and Zhu Zhanji slowly helped Zhu Di, helped him to lie down on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and knelt at the end of the bed, pressing the soles of Zhu Di's feet with both hands.

Zhu Di slowly closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep.

Just when Zhu Zhanji thought he had fallen asleep, stopped his hands, and was about to exit quietly, he suddenly heard Zhu Di whispering: "Do you think I'm old and confused?"

"Grandson doesn't dare." Zhu Zhanji was shocked, and the sleepiness in his heart disappeared immediately.

"It's hard to be the head of the family if you are not deaf or dumb," Zhu Di lay on the bed, unable to see the expression on his face, but could hear deep disappointment from his tone. "People can't understand too well, especially as parents, hey, a group of debt collectors..."

"..." Zhu Di seemed to be muttering to himself. Zhu Zhanji wasn't sure if he was talking to him, but even if he was sure, he didn't dare to answer, so he could only listen silently.

"Failure... What a failure..." After Zhu Di mumbled the last few words, he turned over and fell asleep.

Zhu Zhanji listened for a while, and then retreated quietly when he heard the emperor's snoring.
