Chapter 157 Goodbye Ying'er(1/2)
The King of Yan left Beijing, which made Xiao Fan's sense of crisis more and more heavy.
Others may not take the departure of the King of Yan seriously. On the surface, as the prince, Yan was his fiefdom, and the fiefdom was besieged by the Tartars. It was natural that the King of Yan led his troops north to fight against the Tartars.
But Xiao Fan understood the inside story.
Once Zhu Di left, he had no restrictions from then on. Zhu Yuanzhang was old and sick, and would die within one year. The consequence of returning to the mountain was that Zhu Di raised an army two years later and openly plotted against usurpation under the banner of "Jingnan".
With the arrival of Xiao Fan, the time traveler, history may have changed slightly, but in terms of the general trend and direction, it seems that nothing has changed at all.
Those who should die will die, and those who should rebel will rebel. Then will the emperor who should lose the throne and the country will lose the throne?
Xiao Fan couldn't help but take on the worries for Zhu Yunwen.
He did not want to see such an ending. Perhaps Zhu Di was indeed more suitable to be a good emperor than Zhu Yunwen. In history, the Ming Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty had left a strong mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and was much better than the Emperor Jianwen who had been hiding for all his life.
But Xiao Fan just didn't want to see Zhu Di take away Zhu Yunwen's country because Zhu Yunwen was his friend. He didn't want this friend to end up in such a miserable ending, life was worse than death. Let Zhu Di's talent be strong and die! Let the so-called Yongle prosperous era die! With him, Xiao Fan, the glorious era that appeared in the history books of the Ming Dynasty will be called the "Jianwen prosperous era"!
The so-called reason, the so-called historical responsibility... Sorry, Xiao Fan is just an ordinary person. Ordinary people are not so wise and wise, nor so calm and extraordinary overall view. His logic is very simple. Uncle robbing nephew's things is a shameless behavior. Others have done shameless things. Xiao Fan will help Zhu Yunwen maintain justice in a more shameless way.
A gentleman who does bad things is forced to do!
The partial palace of the East Palace.
The afternoon sun shone warmly on the white marble floor tiles of the side hall. The vermilion pear wooden chairs in the hall reflected a layer of light golden light, and extremely tiny dust flew unscrupulously under the yellow light. The freehand landscape embroidered on the landscape screen on the side of the hall seemed to become vivid and active with the light.
Everything seems so simple and comfortable, and it feels comfortable when I am lying on a chair in the sun in my old age to reminisce about the past. I am lazy and enjoy it. The sun cannot help but make people feel sleepy. Well, it is so comfortable...
"Bang!"
A loud noise woke Xiao Fan's dream. Xiao Fan was so scared that he jumped out of the chair. Before he could figure out the situation, he blurted out and shouted: "Protect the car!"
“…”
“…”
There was silence in the hall again.
Huang Zicheng had a blue face, his body was trembling with anger, and he stared at Xiao Fan as if he was irreconcilable.
Zhu Yunwen looked at him with awkward face, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and endured it very hard.
Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then looked calm and said solemnly to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Highness, you have made Mr. Huang angry again, it's really inappropriate! I have heard that the Emperor of Shengming governs the world with filial piety, and the ignorant emperor of Wudao made the teacher angry all day long..."
Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth wide in surprise.
However, Huang Zicheng slapped the table again, pointed at Xiao Fan and said furiously: "Shut up! The person who makes me angry is you! It's you!"
Xiao Fan looked at Huang Zicheng innocently: "What does it have to do with me..."
"Your Highness the Grand Prince summoned you and I to the Eastern Palace to discuss state affairs. I was talking about how to reduce the vassal state in the future. This matter was related to the root of my country and country in the Ming Dynasty. But you were dozing off. What's your attitude? What does it mean? Ah?" Huang Zicheng was so angry that he trembled all over.
"I... closed my eyes and pondered Mr. Huang's method of reducing the vassal states. I heard it like listening to the music of immortals. The students were intoxicated..." Xiao Fan opened his eyes with an awkward expression and told lies.
"You fart! You were so intoxicated that you snore!"
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly smoothed out: "Okay, why bother arguing about this little thing? I invite you here today to discuss with you the matter of the vassal king. How to deal with the king of Yan left Beijing in the future. I hope you two will teach me..."
Huang Zicheng glared at Xiao Fan fiercely and said angrily: "The King of Yan is powerful and has a secretly evil intention. Now Your Majesty is thinking about the father and son's love. Letting the King of Yan return to Peking is like a tiger returning to the mountain. It will definitely cause great trouble in the future! Your Majesty is old and afraid that the day will not last long. Your Majesty is the orthodox Ming Dynasty. You should prepare for the future and make arrangements early."
Zhu Yunwen looked worried and said, "The King of Yan has left, how should we arrange it next?"
Huang Zicheng said: "The old minister is still the previous proposition. In the future, His Highness ascended the throne, he can immediately start to reduce the vassals. In order to avoid frightening the enemy, he can first cut off the weak vassal kings, and then slowly cut off the vassal kings. Now our court can directly mobilize more than 700,000 troops. Such powerful strength is enough for us to cut off the vassal kings in various places without any rushing. I wish those vassal kings dare not resist. In the end, we will use the whole country's troops to overwhelm Beiping. Outside the Daning Mansion, we will force the King of Yan with the might of our troops, and King Ning has to abandon the vassal..."
Xiao Fan opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Mr. Huang, who told you about your strategy of reducing the vassal states? It's so bad! It should be beheaded! This is clearly a terror of eternal infamy and an idiot of eternal infamy. Mr. Huang, is this method your enemy told you? Killing someone to kill you, be careful..."
Huang Zicheng was stunned for a long time, and then he realized that Xiao Fan was hurting him. He was furious and rolled up his sleeves and waited to fight Xiao Fan. Zhu Yunwen was quick-eyed and hurriedly hugged Huang Zicheng's waist. Huang Zicheng scolded and struggled loudly, jumping and jumping, making Zhu Yunwen behind him blush. The side hall of the Eastern Palace was clamoring. The eunuchs who were surrounded outside the hall saw that they were in chaos, and they wanted to come in to persuade the fight, but they were afraid of angering the grandson. The scene was very chaotic.
Zhu Yunwen advised him for a long time, and Huang Zicheng barely suppressed his anger. He glared at Xiao Fan with a murderous look. He sat on the chair and turned his head, gasping for breath.
Xiao Fan looked at Zhu Yunwen innocently and shrugged, "I don't know that this idea was actually made by him..."
Zhu Yunwen was shocked and quickly pressed Huang Zicheng's shoulder before Huang Zicheng jumped up...
There are waves of square plazas in the hall, and waves are rising again and again...
After everything is calm.
"Xiao Shidu, you... can't you control your mouth? King Yan will be in trouble when he leaves Beijing. What do you think we should do?" Zhu Yunwen said helplessly.
Huang Zicheng turned his face and snorted disdainfully.
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at him, then stared at Zhu Yunwen and said seriously: "I think that if we want to completely eradicate the troubles of the vassal kings, in addition to using thunder to reduce the vassal states, it is more important to strengthen our own strength."
Zhu Yunwen raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "How do you say this?"
Xiao Fan rubbed his nose slowly and said, "The vassal kings are powerful. If they rashly mobilize the imperial army like Mr. Huang and force them to abandon the vassal kings, the final result will only lead to a complete break between the vassal kings and our central court, and unite to rebel regardless of everything. Power is a good thing. No one will voluntarily give up the power in his hands and return to the capital to be a powerless prince. The use of troops will only intensify the conflict between the vassal kings and the court. At that time, all the vassal kings in the country rebelled, and even if there were a million troops in the court, they could not resist it. Mr. Huang's strategy to reduce the vassal kings was actually a mistake in the country and the king. Your Highness must not accept it!"
Huang Zicheng was furious and said, "Ignorance child! You know nothing! It's all about the country. You don't know anything at a young age, just talk nonsense here. You are the one who is ruining the country and the king!"
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand to stop Huang Zicheng from getting angry and asked, "What does Xiao Shidu mean to use thunder to reduce the vassal states?"
Xiao Fan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Huang's opinion is exactly the opposite. I am appointed more than 20 vassal kings outside the Ming Dynasty. However, I can be called a powerful vassal king who can fight the court. In fact, there are only two vassal kings, Yan and Ning. All the rest are not worth worrying. I mean, the act of reducing the vassal kings will either not move. Once you move, you must mobilize the imperial army to attack Beiping at the fastest speed. As long as you quickly take down the two vassal kings, you can play a role in establishing a warning to the monkey. At that time, the kings saw that the two strongest vassal kings were taken down, which would definitely shock their psychology. They would not dare to fight with the court for a while, and the strategies of reducing the vassal kings can proceed step by step..."
Zhu Yunwen thought about it and said worriedly: "But... even if he attacked King Ning of Yan, there was no general in the court that could not be used..."
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "This is the second point I want to say. We must strengthen our own strength. Strength does not just refer to how many soldiers trained and how many weapons they create. It also includes the cultivation and reserve of military generals and talents..."
Zhu Yunwen heard of such a theory for the first time and couldn't help but be surprised: "How to cultivate talents? ...and reserve talents?"
Xiao Fan bowed and said word by word: "...Changing the military system is the foundation of a strong country!"
Zhu Yunwen was shocked and said, "How to change?"
Xiao Fan said in a deep voice: "Promote military preparations, start military training, build firearms, and set up military academy."
Huang Zicheng became more and more angry when he heard this: "It's ridiculous! Xiao Fan, what do you want to do? Since ancient times, civil officials assisted the monarch in governing the world, and civil servants have always been noble but martial arts are less powerful. Do you want to persuade His Royal Highness the Grandpa to value martial arts and less literary arts? Once this example begins, the whole country's martial arts trend is booming. At that time, the world is in turmoil and military disasters are everywhere. Xiao Fan, you are the eternal sinner of my Ming Dynasty!"
Huang Zicheng bowed to Zhu Yunwen with excitement and said, "Your Highness, you must not listen to this villain's slander! This move will ruin the country and the king, how much! The way to destroy the country and cause disaster! Your Highness!"
Xiao Fan sighed lightly. He knew that reforms were not easy in ancient times. Whether it was land, taxes, business, or military system, the ancients did not dare to violate it because they followed the ancestral system, or they strongly opposed it because they were afraid of touching their own interests. - they had not gained greater power, but before the court had a deeper foundation and power, the words they said today were a little impatient...
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to die, and the King of Yan had returned to Peiping. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Di would lead troops to rebel when Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, and the time was getting less and less, so it was too late to say that.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan felt a faint sadness in his heart. Such a sour and stubborn court team was rigid in thought, selfish, and had a loyal heart to the emperor, but in fact he did everything that would ruin the emperor. With these people, how could his ideals and ambitions be realized?
Xiao Fan even began to think about whether to think of some tricks to keep Huang Zicheng and the other sour ministers... It felt very unhappy to be blocked by someone.
Zhu Yunwen heard the words of the two and asked Xiao Fan with great interest: "If you want to change the military system, what should you do first?"
Huang Zicheng was shocked: "Your Highness..."
Xiao Fan glanced at Huang Zicheng with malicious intentions, and then said to Zhu Yunwen seriously: "...help, burn books and bury scholars!"
The hall was suddenly silent...
Zhu Yunwen silently wiped the sweat all over his forehead...
a long time.
"Damn it! Try it! I've fought with you today-"
Xiao Fan left the Eastern Palace and looked very bad.
He really hated the feeling of being restrained. Many of the great ideals and ambitions in the world are planted in those stubborn and conservative old traditions, and Xiao Fan did not want to be the next one.
What to do? Break it!
From his previous life to having to rob the road, until he traveled through the Ming Dynasty, he was originally alone and had no possession, so he was not afraid of losing it. At most, he could save his life and continue to rob the business in the Ming Dynasty. What are you afraid of!
I must do what I want to do! Even if I challenge the entire court, I will do whatever I want!
Cao Yi stood outside the East Palace waiting for him. Seeing Xiao Fan walking out with a gloomy face, Cao Yi couldn't help but curiously said, "What's wrong with you?"
"That old guy Huang Zicheng is really a rotten piece of wood!" Xiao Fan cursed hatefully.
"Has that old bastard Huang Zicheng offended you again?"
"Hmph! It's sour, smelly and stubborn! If he continues to be in the court, my Ming Dynasty will definitely be harmed by him!" Xiao Fan said gritting his teeth.
Cao Yi began to roll up his sleeves, looking excited: "Do you want me to throw feces at his house again?"
Xiao Fan glanced at him sideways: "Are you addicted to playing shit?"
"This method was first made by you..."
The two of them carried their hands and slowly walked on the bustling streets of the capital.
More than a dozen Jinyi lieutenants followed them with their hands pressed the embroidered spring sword. The commander of the Jinyi Guard can be regarded as a great man with great power, and there were more than a dozen Jinyi lieutenants around Xiao Fan to protect his safety.
Cao Yi walked for a while and suddenly turned his head to Xiao Fan and smiled, "I heard that the Imperial Heaven Supervision has chosen a day. In another five days, it will be auspicious day. At that time, Your Majesty will give you marriage to Princess Jiangdu. You two will finally get married. Congratulations!"
When Xiao Fan heard this, his resentment disappeared immediately. He rubbed his hands and smiled silly: "Yes, yes, it can finally be broken..."
Cao Yi: "..."
"By the way, why are you waiting for me in the East Palace?" Xiao Fan asked with his head turned around.
Cao Yi said: "Do you still remember someone helped catch Monk Daoyan a few days ago?"
Xiao Fan's face froze and said, "Of course I remember, if Daoyan had not been arrested, you had made a deal with King Yan and exchanged his life for life. I'm afraid my current situation is really a bit overwhelming. This person can be said to have saved my life indirectly. Have you found him?"
Cao Yi nodded and said, "I found it. This person turned out to be the shopkeeper of Taifeng Rice Store in the south of the city. He said he was a righteous person. It was she who took advantage of Daoyan's unpreparedness and ordered the clerk in the Rice Store to take him down and sent Daoyan to the Jinyiwei Fufu Division."
Xiao Fan was excited: "What is the name of this shopkeeper? We have to thank him very well. This is my life-savior..."
To be continued...
