Chapter 270: What Should Come Is Still Coming
"Ying Guogong, did you say that His Royal Highness took the wrong medicine, why did he change his personality overnight?" Liu Chun came out of the line, he was half-convinced, even if Zhu Biao explained to him, Liu Chun didn't believe it very much, after all, it is impossible for a person's thinking to change so quickly?
Don't someone really possess Zhu Biao, right?
If that's the case, he should run quickly, even if they are all traversers, they will directly become princes, and if they stretch out their little fingers, they can crush themselves!
Liu Chun's heart was shocked, but Fu Youde could see it.
"When Your Majesty ascended the throne, His Highness was already a teenager, and His Highness knew the difficulties of fighting the world. It's just that he has been influenced by the former queen and the great Confucian Song Lian and others since he was a child, and his kindness is too much. Became indecisive and became a rotten good person! Fu Youde laughed at himself, "To be honest, those of us who are under the hands of the saint have to be cautious and cross the river with our eggs, for fear that something will go wrong, and we will be really tired!" However, seeing that the prince is slow to make a decision, our hearts are even more uncomfortable! ”
Fu Youde has always been taciturn, but today he made an exception and talked to Liu Chun.
Indeed, the noble and old ministers also have this contradiction. Lao Zhu is certainly ruthless, but Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness is aimed at everyone, regardless of civil and military, counting, although Lao Zhu is ruthless enough to Xungui, but the casualties of civil officials are even more severe.
Throughout the Hongwu Dynasty, Xungui still has some weight.
But look at the people around Zhu Biao, those who can speak are civil officials, if the prince does not change, the day when the civil officials step on the heads of the generals will not be far off.
Lan Yu could see it back then, could Fu Youde not know, but unfortunately, they had no choice.
The turning point came this time with a change of law.
Originally, Zhu Biao thought that you are good, I am good, everyone is good, and he is accommodating to the noble gentry, and he is light on the common people, and he tries to take care of them. If you continue Daddy's rules, the world will not be bad.
In a word, Zhu Biao's ideal is to be a perfect master like Song Renzong!
But with the promotion of the reform, especially the investigation of Changsha by the students, the so-called peace in the world and the health of the people have been torn apart.
Like all prosperous times, under the rule of the Hongwu Dynasty, there were too many drawbacks in the corners that could not be seen, and they needed to be solved urgently.
Zhu Yuanzhang strongly promoted the change of the law, and the gentry pinned their hopes on Zhu Biao to oppose it.
He has been caught in the middle more than once.
When Zhu Biao was still young, in the Hu Weiyong case, the teacher Song Lian was implicated, so he pleaded with his father several times, and tried his best in exchange for the result of being recruited into the army.
Since then, Zhu Biao has been out of control, and has embarked on the road of disobedience to his father, and he has a posture of never returning...... Zhu Biao also often thinks about what is right and what is wrong.
When he arrived in Xi'an, he heard a lot of comments about his second brother, and there were not a few people who scolded Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin...... After Zhu Biaosi thought about it, he suddenly thought of Liu Chun's method!
That's right, it's actually going to the people to take a look!
Zhu Biao went to the countryside to see the living conditions of the people and ask what has changed in the past few years.
He also went to Zhu Zhang's pasture and saw the spectacular scene of more than 100,000 sheep...... He kept looking, kept thinking, and finally, Zhu Biao arrived at a valley!
From a few miles away, you can smell the stench, the wolfhounds gather, and the crows fly in the sky...... The mountains are full of broken bones, like hell!
In order to annex the land, Zhu Fan framed the villagers and killed people to fill the land...... Get out of this valley!
Standing outside the valley, Zhu Biao was speechless for a long time!
Is this his own brother?
He's the devil!
How do you do it?
Liu Chun also loves money, but he has a good way to make money and never harms the people, but his second brother, he never softens when he kills people!
These people don't have fathers and sons? Don't have a wife and children?
Witnessing the death of their loved ones, will they be angry and become the first rebels? Don't forget, that's how my father joined the rebel army back then!
One day, he will become the emperor, and his descendants will inherit the throne, if he is left to his own devices, sooner or later, the people will rise up, and then the Zhu family's country will fall apart!
Zhu Biao is like a monk who has been ascetic for many years, and when faced with this piece of white bones, he suddenly had an epiphany.
That's right, the Son of Heaven shoulders the great responsibility of heaven, and the same is true for the prince.
Affection and righteousness, kindness and generosity, but we must distinguish the priority...... Jiangshan Sheji is always the first, whoever breaks the Ming Sheji is the enemy!
The so-called enlightenment is really not so mysterious.
Zhu Biao just untied the knot in his heart all along.
In fact, he already knew what to do, but he didn't want to admit it...... If he really opposes the change, why should he leave the capital obediently, and why should he continue to be friends with Liu Chun!
"My real idea is that my father will do a good job of changing the law, and I will just bear it, even if someone criticizes the change, I can also blame my father, and the ancestors cannot change the law...... Zhu Biao, you are really a little shameless! ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince figured it out...... Liu Chun was a little bit disappointed, as long as Zhu Biao didn't make a fool, maybe Zhu Laosi would never have a chance.
Of course, the premise is that Zhu Biao must live safely.
"Ying Guogong, it was His Majesty who asked me to stay in Xi'an, clean up the mess, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince escort King Qin back to Beijing. Now that His Highness insists on staying, then I will have no choice but to return to the capital. Old Guogong, His Royal Highness is concerned with the safety of the world, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the foundation of the country. Lao Guogong must be attentive...... By the way, just like that, a valley full of rotting corpses, it is better not to let His Highness touch it, there will be a terrible plague there! If you come across a large number of corpses, it is better to burn them with fire. ”
Liu Chun specially instructed, Fu Youde nodded, "The old man wrote it down, don't worry, with the old man here, His Royal Highness will be safe and sound!" ”
Liu Chun shouldered the holy decree and did not dare to be sloppy, and only stayed in Xi'an for more than a day, and immediately returned to the capital.
Before returning, Liu Chun also gave an order.
For all the Pixiu guards in the Central Plains, they all returned to the capital and accepted rewards.
"It's called turning the tiger out of the mountain, right?" Lan Xinyue said happily: "I've been reading the military book recently!" Someday, I'll be both civil and military! ”
She swore that Liu Chun almost laughed, if there was a deadline, it would be at least a hundred years!
But there is one thing, Lan Xinyue is right, that is, Liu Chun is adjusting the tiger to leave the mountain.
Pixiuwei's situation is very special, in order to ensure safety, they have to lurk for a long time, many people have fully adapted to their new identity, and the people around them do not have the slightest suspicion.
This is very similar to Jinyiwei, but Pixiuwei is even worse, because there is a long break in the middle, and even Lao Zhu is not sure how many people are still alive. He only has a roster in his hand, and the devil knows that in the long time, Pixiu Wei has not changed his profession, or rather, he has died.
For example, the secret report of Pixiu Wei was submitted through the Jinyi Wei system, and after it was handed over, the person disappeared.
Liu Chun wanted to find him out very much, but unfortunately, in Liu Chun's hands, there was only information about this person ten years ago, and the last ten years were completely blank!
Perhaps we should work these people to find out the real cause of Zhu Biao's death and eliminate hidden dangers in advance!
Liu Chun thought so and did so, after he returned to Beijing, he threw Zhu Fan to the Zongren Mansion and went to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and the first request was to rectify Pixiuwei!
"Your Majesty, Pixiu Wei completely relies on a single line of contact, the imperial court conveys orders, they will only receive them if they want to, and they will send news to the imperial court, and they will also pass it on if they want to. Although it can ensure the safety and mystery of Pixiuwei, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take advantage of his identity and make waves! After all, after more than 20 years, people's hearts will change! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Liu Chun, do you want me to completely abolish Pixiuwei?" ”
"Well, if you can recruit as much as you can, you will give you generous favors, and those who are not willing to come back, Your Majesty might as well abolish the power of Pixiu Wei to secretly entertain affairs...... The minister doesn't want to close the eyes and ears of the saint, the minister just thinks that if a tool is not used, it is better to change it again, and face someone who takes the opportunity to make trouble. Minister, the minister is willing to hand over the jade pixiu immediately! ”
Liu Chun said, and took it outside.
"Keep it, even if Pixiu Wei is abolished, this jade Pixiu can still save your life!" It's rare, Lao Zhu's mood is very good, his tone is much more relaxed, the prince can wake up, there is nothing more worthy of celebration than this.
Finally, father and son are of the same heart, so there is no need to be awkward.
Lao Zhu felt more relaxed, more energetic, time flies, the time has come to pay taxes, the results of Changsha's reform are about to be shown, the government and the opposition, all wait and see, whether to continue to implement the reform, in one fell swoop.
But just before the results were sent to the household department, a secret report sent from Xi'an arrived in Lao Zhu's hands...... The prince is sick!
