Chapter 10 The Position of the Crown Prince

Zhan Hui, Minister of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty.

In his later years, Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prevailing prime minister system that had been popular for thousands of years and established six ministries. The ministers of the six ministries were directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, further strengthening the centralization and the emperor's power.

The Ming Dynasty was founded for only more than twenty years, and the unification of the world was even shorter.

The civil officials and military generals were not so clear, and there was also a deep-rooted relationship between these people, high-ranking officials and nobles. So when Lan Yu sent a message to ask Zhan Hui to come over, the latter without saying a word, a second-rank civil servant went directly to the military team.

Old Zhan! Lan Yu approached and whispered, "You read a lot and read a lot. Do you think about it for us, what does the emperor mean by the title of the Third Master, the King of Wu?"

Zhan Hui looked around and saw that Wu Nai was the one who ascended the throne at Long Live......

Tell me some real things, such a scholar is like this! Lan Yu glared at him.

Zhan Hui was not bothered. They were in-laws and continued to say that, in the following opinion, it was afraid that the position of the crown prince would fall on the crown prince!

Isn't that right? Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, said that the King of Wu is the legitimate son of the crown prince, of course...

As he said that, Zhan Hui shook his head. The emperor's grandson may not be the emperor's legitimate grandson. Doesn't the marquis know that the emperor also named the second master the king of Huai yesterday!

Everyone was stunned, Huai was their hometown.

In the root, they are all Huai people.

One is the country name before the emperor ascended the throne.

One is the title of the hometown of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

It's really hard to say!

I don’t care about those, I just recognize King Wu anyway, and I’m not good at using the King of Heaven!

Dongguan Bo He Rong looked like a soldier and grinned, "The Third Master is the legitimate son of the crown prince, and the Third Master's mother is General Chang's daughter, so I will recognize him!"

Everyone agreed, but Lan Yu was thinking.

Are you so sure that that person will fall on the head of the emperor? Lan Yu said in Zhan Hui's ear, although the prince is gone, the kings are young and powerful...

As he said that, Lan Yu suddenly remembered a heroic figure in his mind.

King of Yan.

King Zhu Di of Yan was stationed in Beiping and stationed his troops in the Ming Dynasty.

From a military perspective and ability perspective, Lan Yu admires the King of Yan very much.

The King of Yan went deep into the northern part of the desert several times, and the Mongols kept retreating, and they were all arrogant soldiers and powerful generals.

But from personal emotions and other aspects, Lan Yu is very cautious about the King of Yan.

The year before yesterday, he was ordered by the emperor to become a general and conquered Mongolia in northern Mo.

The founding general of the Ming Dynasty, the old man died. Lan Yu was the first person to be the first. With his great military achievements and the identity of a general, Lan Yu discovered that he could not mobilize the troops under the King of Yan.

Those elite soldiers and powerful generals only recognized him, King Yan, and did not recognize any general, let alone the imperial court.

At that time, the crown prince Zhu Biao was still there, and Lan Yu wrote to the crown prince many times saying that the King of Yan had a different ambition.

But the prince was kind and very tolerant of his brothers and sisters, and he didn't listen at all.

In fact, it was not that he didn't listen, but that the prince was there. The king of Yan had a different ambition and had to suppress the prince's position. He could not shake the prince's position at all.

But now the prince is gone, if that position really falls on the emperor's grandson.

By then, your Majesty will be bloody after a hundred years!

Humph! Thinking of this, Lan Yu sneered twice and thought to himself.

I am not afraid of you being rebellious, but I am afraid that you will not come! If that position really falls on the third master, if you, King Yan, dare to rebel, I will settle the old and new accounts with you!

What if it wasn't for the Third Master?

Lan Yu fell into confusion again.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just fear of what if.

The third master is still young and doesn’t look like a wise master on weekdays. What if the emperor doesn’t like it?

A hint of loneliness appeared on Lan Yu's firm face.

It depends on two people that Lan Yu can have today.

One is his brother-in-law, Zhu Yunsheng's grandfather Chang Yuchun. If Chang Yuchun had not recommended him hard in front of the emperor, he would have been a soldier.

The second is the prince. His temperament is a bit rude and domineering. If the prince hadn't been thinking about protecting family affection, he would have died long ago.

Moreover, after the founding of the country, the prince opposed the opposition and promoted himself several times in front of the emperor, allowing him to take the lead.

Although I, Lan Yu, is a rough man, I know what loyalty is! The position of the crown prince must be the third master. If it were not the third master, I would try my best to do so in the future and I would also help the third master to take office! In this way, I can be worthy of my brother-in-law.

I am worthy of my niece and the prince!

Forbidden City, Fengtian Hall, backyard.

The flowers in early spring bloomed in the sun, and Zhu Yuanzhang sat alone in the flower hall, his face as if he was thinking about something.

The guards and palace servants were all ten steps away from the emperor, and they kept silent and did not dare to disturb the silent emperor at all.

On the stone table next to Zhu Yuanzhang, a simple porcelain bowl filled with a bowl of golden millet porridge, with a crystal-clear skinned egg, two plates of side dishes and a sesame cake.

As the supreme emperor in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang was so simple that it was unbelievable that he wore civilized clothes and ate only food for ordinary people.

Although he was the emperor, he always remembered his origin in his heart, a peasant child who could not even eat enough. When he was young, he worked hard in the field with his father and brother. He told him that every porridge and rice came.

Not easy.

After becoming the emperor, he also knew very well that there were still many people in the Ming Empire that were in trouble.

Gradually, the porridge became cold and the fragrance dissipated.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch Huang Gouer bravely stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, let's have a meal!"

Huang Gouer was in her fifties and was originally an eunuch in the Mongolian Yuan Palace in the Great Capital. Later, the Great Capital was broken and was captured and sent to Yingtian Prefecture Palace to serve the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor favored treacherous ministers and eunuchs, but in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was extremely disgusted with these eggless people. He just served him. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, the eunuchs could not count on others, and could only take care of his daily life and could not talk too much about anything else.

If Huang Agou had not been serving for decades with all his heart and strength, he would have been afraid to say this sentence.

I can't eat it! Today is the day when Zhu Biao's funeral is in sorrow that he has no appetite. Take it down and keep it for us to eat at night! After saying that, he waved his hand and seemed a little impatient.

His Majesty!

Huang Gou'er suddenly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I dare to ask Your Majesty to come in." You haven't had a good meal for a few days, so what can you do if you continue like this? I am useless, I really feel sorry for my master!

You... Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get angry, but the last sentence of feeling sorry for his master made him feel relieved.

He hated eunuchs, but he was not a ruthless person, let alone this slave served him for more than ten years.

I know, take it down, we don’t want to eat now! As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked around the garden. He saw the blooming flowers and plants, and his face showed a little loneliness. It turned out that the queen had told us when she was there, the palace was like this

It’s a pity that flowers and plants are planted in the places. It’s better to plant some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks!

At that time, we were still laughing at her, holding a golden rice bowl to beg for food. Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little sad. He listened to her on that day. In the past, when she was in Yingtian, the military rations were tight, so she also planted many crops in the palace.

.

When we were fighting outside, she and her sons were working in the field. The eldest brother was obedient and did whatever he said. The fourth brother was always dishonest. He was always worried about dancing and playing guns for a while!

Once when we went home, we happened to see their mothers harvesting crops! Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed happiness at first, then became furious, and suddenly stepped on the blooming flowers.

Is it so good to drive it? Is it a ball used for eating or drinking? Do you have such a good look for it? My wife and son are gone, and you still have such a good look for it?

He was originally a warrior, but although he was old, he was still very strong. After several steps, the carefully corrected flowers and plants were no longer as good as that.

Your Majesty! When he was furious, a voice came from behind him.

Say! Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

Lord Liu Sanwu, the secretary of the Secretariat, is here! The eunuch report.

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down his anger and sorted out his clothes and let him come over!

After a while, a scholar who looked like a master and was steady and generous was brought in.

Liu Sanwu, the clan of the Ming Dynasty, abolition of the prime minister system, was equal to half of the prime minister. He was not the emperor's confidant, and those with great talents could not be regarded as the one who was not the emperor.

Later generations said that Zhu Yuanzhang did not like scholars, but he was actually wronged.

What Zhu Yuanzhang likes are those scholars who are willing to do practical things, have real knowledge, and have good moral character.

He is also willing to listen and is good at appointing scholars with noble character, real talent, real knowledge and dedicated service to the people.

My servant, Liu Sanwu meets Your Majesty! Liu Sanwu is in his fifties and has a gentle face.

Get up! Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered to bring a stool for Lord Liu!

The yellow dog serving beside him quickly brought a stool to Liu Sanwu as the leader and eunuch.

Liu Sanwu didn't even thank him, so he sat down just by himself.

Huang Gou'er didn't dare to let him thank him, so he retreated aside.

Something happened to you! Zhu Yuanzhang also moved a stool and sat down face to face with Liu Sanwu.
