Unintentionally, Zhu Yunwen has been in this world for three days. He has been hiding in Zhan Shi's Mansion and looking through memorials and notes on daily life in the East Palace. He finally has a little understanding of Zhu Yunwen and the Ming Dynasty in this period of history.

The most basic understanding.

The government and the public knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was in poor health, but they never summoned Zhu Yunwen. The mystery prevented Zhu Yunwen from having the opportunity to see the most legendary founding emperor in history. However, during this period, Qi Tai

, Huang Zicheng, two famous cobblers in history, came here. First, they came to see Zhu Yunwen's body, and secondly, they chatted in Zhu Yunwen's ears about the vassal king.

"Yesterday, I went to the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor asked me about the affairs of the Northern Territory. In his words, he was very worried about King Yan and King Ning holding powerful troops. He was afraid that he had the idea of ​​​​cutting down the vassal. He was no longer as interested in the proposal as he was back then.

The ministers may be dismissed at worst, or killed at worst.”

Qi Tai held tea and said with a confident attitude, "In the heart of the emperor, after all, the grandson is the most important. How can a bastard vassal king succeed to the throne and bear the sacred weapon?" After saying this, he laughed, showing his contempt.

.

Huang Zicheng also echoed with disdain for King Yan Zhu Di.

Everyone in the world knew about Zhu Di's desire for the throne. When the prince Zhu Biao passed away, Zhu Di rushed to the capital from Shuntian. After condolences, he contacted the ministers to find out Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, and even pretended to be the elder.

The second king of Qin, Zhu Zhen, said nicely that the king of Qin was the head of all kings, and that he was the son of Queen Ma, so he could be the crown prince.

But the second child is a thing. Everyone in the government and the public knows this. Zhu Xi is a good fighter, even better than Zhu Di. The word "Qin" is enough to show his martial arts skills, but he has a surly and cruel personality, a mean and ungrateful person, and suffered from car accidents in his early years.

Zhu Yuanzhang called his servant back to the capital and stayed with him to teach him. The latter was still angry and refused to accept it. Zhu Yuanzhang became angry and wanted to depose him as a servant. Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened that he went to Zhu Biao to intercede, so he rushed back to his fiefdom to study and cultivate his character.

It is simply impossible for Zhu Di to ask for the title of Zhu Pang, but Zhu Di's move is to make it clear to the world that the so-called father will succeed to the son, and the brother will succeed to the younger brother. This is in line with etiquette and cannot be passed down from generation to generation, but it does win over someone in the court.

Many ministers supported this statement, and Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed faced with many obstacles to establishing Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang acted arbitrarily and killed a group of ministers who did not support Zhu Yunwen. After exiling a group of ministers, his murderous eyes frightened several of his children, so they clamped their tails and rolled back to the fiefdom, not daring to show their heads.

.

Later, as King Zhu Xi of Qin and King Zhu Fan of Jin died of illness one after another, Zhu Di, the fourth eldest son, became the head of the kings. This only added to Zhu Di's dissatisfaction. If Zhu Yuanzhang did not establish Zhu Yunwen, he, the fourth eldest son, would be the leader.

After surviving three "Princes", it's time to become the Crown Prince.

But now that Zhu Yunwen has a legitimate reputation, and he, Zhu Di, is only a commoner, neither his direct descendant nor his eldest son, who in the world can still think highly of him?

Zhu Yunwen sat behind the desk and read the military report from the Chief Envoy of Shandong Province. He ignored the talk of these two cobblers and asked, "The internal strife in Mongolia has come to an end. There are two factions in the country, one is called Wala and the other is

Called Tatar. The Tatar leader Arutai asked for border trade in Liaodong and sent 500 horses. What do you two gentlemen think?"

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng looked at each other and fell silent. These two cobblers were good at talking about knowledge. They had little experience in military affairs. When it came to important border matters, they could only talk on paper. When Zhu Yunwen asked about border trade, he was inevitably stunned and hurriedly started talking.

Abdomen.

"Forget it, you go on duty."

Zhu Yunwen frowned. Although history has proven how unreliable these two people are, seeing it with his own eyes still makes him feel disgusted. In history, it is not surprising that Zhu Yunwen took these two as his teachers and lost his country.

"I will take my leave."

The two chatted and retreated. As soon as they left, someone came in and reported, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, wants to see you."

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, Zhu Gaochi? Why is he in the capital?

Little did he know that in the past two years, Zhu Yuanzhang's health had become worse and worse, and he was inevitably worried about Zhu Yunwen's throne. Although he did not want to reduce the vassal, he summoned several princes of the vassal with heavy troops into the palace, in the name of staying by his side to teach.

But it was left as a proton.

"Please come in."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Yunwen were still very curious about the later Emperor Renzong, who initiated the rule of Renxuan. Zhu Gaochi was highly praised in the history books as a ruler of the world. Although he only served as emperor for a short period of ten months, his governance was very impressive.

But it has been nearly twenty years.

Zhu Di was a horse-riding emperor who liked fighting more than governing the country. During the five Northern Expeditions, Zhu Gaochi stayed in Beijing to supervise the country and coordinate the rear. He was a veritable logistics officer. Without Zhu Gaochi coordinating all parties behind, Zhu Di would not be able to achieve his lifelong fame.

"My younger brother Zhu Gaochi has met His Highness the Grand Sun."

Zhu Gaochi was fat and had a rich and honest appearance. His bow was at best a nod of the head to make him bend down. It was really difficult for him. If someone hadn't helped him, he might not even be able to cross the threshold when he entered.

Such a fat master has married more than a dozen concubines?

Zhu Yunwen subconsciously looked at the top of Zhu Gaochi's head and said, "You and I, brothers, don't need to see each other. Please sit down quickly."

Zhu Gaochi thanked him and sat down, "I heard that His Highness was ill two days ago, so I came here to say hello today. Your Highness is the grandson of the country. He is of great importance to the country and the country. You must take good care of your body."

"My brother has a heart and wants to heal him."

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yunwen called to the young eunuch, "Your Majesty, you are fat and prone to heat. Go quickly and bring the ice mirror."

Zhu Gaochi was startled, and then he looked up and said thank you.

Zhu Yunwen picked up the tea bowl and moistened his throat, "I heard in the past two days that Grandpa Huang was not feeling well. I planned to go to the imperial palace to say hello. I heard that my brother is here. I wonder how Grandpa Huang is doing lately."

Zhu Gaochi bowed his head slightly and said, "Everything is well with the Emperor. The imperial doctor has prescribed a resting regimen. That's why I haven't summoned His Highness. I asked my younger brother to take care of His Highness. He can handle state affairs with peace of mind and take care of himself. There is no need to go there every day to say hello."

Zhu Yun hummed and picked up the memorial from the Chief Envoy of Shandong Province, "I heard that the emperor always praised you and said that you have the ability to govern the world. He often kept you by his side to teach the government. It's just right that this Chief Envoy of Shandong Province

The memorial above says that the Tatar leader Arutai wants to open a border trade, but I haven't given my approval yet. Please read it and give me some advice."

"My brother is terrified."

Zhu Gaochi took the memorial, read it over, and said carefully, "I think it's feasible."

Zhu Yunwen wanted to take the exam, so he said, "Tell me carefully."

"Border trade matters are related to the stability of the border. Since ancient times, disputes in the North have mostly been caused by the shortage of foreign materials. The foreigners lacked salt and food for the winter, so they often harassed the border, opened border trade, and exchanged what they had. Through

By trading in exchange for salt and grain for the winter, wars will be reduced a lot, and we can also get cattle for farming, which is a good thing."

"This is exactly what I thought."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "Is there anything wrong with the Tatar trade terms?"

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "My brother, I feel that it is not appropriate for the Tatar tribe to only trade cattle, sheep, furs, rare animals, etc. Our court lacks war horses, and the reason why foreign barbarians can invade our borders is because of their convenience."

It is a horse, and we should add a good horse. This way our army can train an excellent cavalry in the border areas. Even if the Tatar tribe starts a dispute again in the future, we will also have countermeasures."

Zhu Yunwen laughed and asked, "What if the Tatars are not willing? War horses are the fundamental thing, how can they be willing to trade them to us?"

"Then we won't open border trade. If you want to fight, just keep fighting!"

Zhu Gaochi was adamant, "Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. I would rather have a small war in March and a big war every year than let them become powerful."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily. It seemed that Zhu Gaochi was not all benevolent and righteous as in the history books. The descendants of the Zhu family, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, had a competitive spirit that was carried in their womb.

Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled against Yuan Dynasty and conquered the world, his son Zhu Di founded Jianwen's rebellion and continued to conquer the world, and his grandson Zhu Gaoxu founded Xuande's rebellion and continued to conquer the world. The descendants of future generations, even Zhu Houcong of Jiajing who devoted himself to cultivating Taoism, did not go to court for thirty years.

Didn’t Zhu Yijun of Wanli Dynasty never stop competing with hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty for the right to govern the world?
