Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 110: Emperor Hongsheng Zhu Biao's Way of Reducing the Power of the Feudatories

These words also made Zhu Di a little unbearable.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Third brother, you will stay here for the next few days and watch over them for me. If those two people come, make sure to keep them here."

The identities of these two people must be confirmed, otherwise he will feel uneasy.

Zhu Gaosui stuffed the bread crumbs into his mouth and responded quickly.

"Dad, you know me well. How can I possibly catch someone that my second brother couldn't catch? I'm fine catching small minions, but I really can't catch Lan Yu."

It wasn't that he was offending Zhu Di, but he really was powerless.

No matter how difficult the task is, first emphasize that your ability is limited so that you can still find a way out if things go wrong.

The main reason is that I really can’t beat Lan Yu.

Zhu Di said calmly: "I didn't ask you to catch them. Let them stay and send me the news. I will personally confirm it. Do you still need me to teach you these?"

It doesn’t matter whether you can catch him or not, as long as you can confirm your identity.

"Third brother, you are smart, unlike your second brother who has no brains at all."

"I believe you can do it."

Zhu Gaosui felt a little numb when he heard Zhu Di's praise, as Zhu Gaoxu was right beside him.

It feels like these words were not spoken to himself, but were intended to discredit Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaoxu both fought with Lan Yu.

He couldn't wait here all the time, so only Zhu Gaosui was suitable to wait in the tavern.

"Dad, then..."

His eyes turned towards Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di knew what he wanted, so he said bluntly: "Restore your position as the commander of the Jinyiwei."

At this time.

Ximei has already brought the bowl and hot water.

Seeing this, Zhuang Mu directly opened a pack of instant noodles, put it in hot water, and then added the seasoning.

There was nothing to cover him, so he stared at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Yao Guangxiao's hand and said, "Old monk, you should have finished reading this book, right?"

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao nodded and handed the book to Zhuang Mu.

Then he placed it directly on the instant noodle bowl.

In fact, you should buy it in barrels, which will be more convenient.

Of course, the bagged ones are also enough.

"What are you doing?"

Yao Guangxiao asked with a little curiosity. Zhuang Mu did not respond. After waiting for a moment, he took the book away.

I saw that a bowl of instant noodles was almost cooked.

The aroma filled the air, and immediately Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaosui, and Ximei all looked at the bowl in Zhuang Mu's hand.

To be honest, this scent was indeed the first time they smelled it.

It looks delicious.

"Old monk, let me give you a taste first."

Yao Guangxiao immediately took the chopsticks from Zhuang Mu's hand. The noodles looked very good in color.

I took two bites out of curiosity.

Suddenly, Yao Guangxiao felt warm in his stomach. After eating a bowl of this in the tavern, he felt a lot more at ease.

Cozy and comfortable.

Yao Guangxiao did not eat it alone, but let Zhu Di have a taste as well.

After two bites, the flavors of various condiments filled my mouth. The noodles were tender and very chewy.

So, Zhu Di directly snatched the bowl of instant noodles from Yao Guangxiao's hand without any hesitation.

Of course, he had eaten noodles a lot, but this flavor was the first time he had ever eaten it.

Of course, after eating it once, I don’t feel like eating it anymore.

A bit boring.

After finishing his meal, Zhu Di put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said, "Zhuang boy, I'll come back in a few days. Third brother, remember what I told you."

Every three days, you need to push the time in your dream.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, it would take about a month to revive Zhu Biao from the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.

Three days can fast forward a year.

It doesn’t take that long.

After he left, Yao Guangxiao looked at the faces of several generations in front of Zhuang Mu without waiting for him to ask.

Zhuang Mu immediately made another bowl for him, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also made one bowl each. After all, this thing was not a rare thing.

Seeing Ximei looking greedy, he gave the girl a bowl as well.

After we finished eating, it was about time.

Zhu Gaoxu bought a glass of wine, still dreaming of becoming an emperor and continuing his previous dream.

Zhu Gaosui followed him and made preparations for the defense of Beijing, and then he had to stay in the tavern.

And enjoy the feeling of being an emperor.

After dealing with these things, Zhuang Mu went upstairs and Yao Guangxiao also left.

……

Half a month passed.

Hong Sheng Dynasty.

The Hongsheng Emperor Zhu Biao sat in the imperial palace of Fengtian Hall in Nanjing City.

Perhaps as he gets older, he starts to become sentimental.

He would be in a daze from time to time, especially the words from his mother and father, which always bothered him.

He simply had no energy to deal with state affairs.

Looking at the ministers and officials below the stage, Zhu Biao held his forehead with his hand and said with difficulty: "Forget it, let's end the court meeting here today."

"I am feeling uneasy." Upon seeing this, the ministers were speechless and just bowed respectfully and left.

"Old Four, what secrets are you hiding from me?"

His thoughts gradually began to come back.

At this time, there were several middle-aged men standing next to Zhu Biao, all of whom were close ministers.

Among them was Mu Ying’s son, Mu Chun.

Xu Da's son, Xu Yungong.

There is also Li Wenzhong’s son, Li Jinglong.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Zhu Biao asked, "Xu Yungong, what do you think the King of Yan could be hiding from me?"

Xu Yungong is no longer the young boy he used to be. He has become mature and steady like his father.

In response to Zhu Biao's question, Xu Yungong spoke up.

"I don't know about this, but if you want to say, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan started to act strangely, it should have been since the 13th year of Hongwu."

Hearing the year "Hongwu 13th Year", Zhu Biao's thoughts gradually returned to the past.

In the 13th year of Hongwu, Prince of Yan Zhu Di seemed to have grown up overnight. He was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also experienced, and he defeated all the generals of his generation one after another.

Even Lan Yu could easily end up in a tie.

Originally, that year should have been the time when Zhu Di became a fiefdom.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di, who showed his calmness and ability, did not want to become a fiefdom.

He was even beaten by his father for this.

Later, with the help of himself and his mother, Zhu Di's enfeoffment was postponed for two years.

But it was at this time that his eldest son Zhu Xiongying suddenly fell seriously ill.

At that time, his world seemed to be falling.

In the case of smallpox, the child mortality rate is almost 99%, and it is impossible to survive unless a miracle happens.

Just when he was most desperate, Zhu Di appeared.

I don’t know what means he used to make all of Zhu Xiongying’s illnesses disappear and heal him.

After that, Zhu Di was given the title of miracle doctor.

It seems that since Zhu Di was able to cure smallpox, he really deserves the title of miracle doctor.

After this incident, the emperor seemed to have changed his attitude and not only agreed that Zhu Di should not go to the vassal state.

Even let him stay by his side all the time.

He didn't feel anything was wrong about this.

Later, my mother fell ill overnight due to overwork.

It was Zhu Di who took action again and cured him.

From then on, Prince of Yan Zhu Di had another title, the miracle doctor.

"I still remember that the fourth brother not only saved my mother, but also Duke Cao and Duke Wei."

"That is the father of both of you."

Later, Zhu Di stayed in the capital with him and shared the same food and clothing with him for a long time.

During this period, Zhu Di also saved the seriously ill Li Wenzhong and Xu Da.

Nowadays, Li Wenzhong and Xu Da are both retired and old.

Just as Zhu Biao was recalling the past with some melancholy, he suddenly thought of Lan Yu.

He asked, "Has there been any news from Lan Yu? Is the tavern door open?"

Hearing this, Mu Chun shook his head.

"Duke Liang has been personally stationed in front of the tavern these days."

"No news has come yet."

It’s been more than ten days, why is there still no movement?

As long as he finds Zhuang Mu, he will know everything about Zhu Di and the secrets told by his parents.

Zhu Biao slowly stood up and prepared to take a walk around the old imperial palace.

After all, I haven’t been back for a long time. Everything here is familiar, yet a little strange.

"By the way, how is the investigation into Zhu Gaoxu going?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. He was in the tavern. I remember that he died of illness five years ago when the Ming Dynasty was fighting against Timur."

"Could it be that the corpse I saw was fake?"

In the eleventh year of Hongsheng, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and the remaining remnants fled to the west.

And established a new political power, that of Timur.

After he learned about this, he sent Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Zhu Gaoxu, Ning Wang Zhu Quan and other generals.

He led an army of 150,000 and marched westward.

By the way, the Hexi Corridor was reopened and the military deployment went smoothly.

Not long after, good news came.

However, bad news also came that Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of Prince of Yan, died of rheumatism during the expedition.

A generation of Zhu family warriors fell in this way.

Since joining the army, Zhu Gaoxu has conquered the Western Barbarians, eliminated banditry, and wiped out the remnants of the Yuan court. He can be said to have made many military achievements. Among the generals of the Zhu family, he is second only to Ning Wang Zhu Quan.

The princes and relatives of the Hongsheng Dynasty were able to serve as officials in the court through recommendations from the Ministry of Clan Affairs.

Therefore, members of the Zhu family will appear in the court.

Similarly, he also strictly controlled the review of the Ministry of Clan Affairs in order to prevent useless people from filling in the gaps.

It turns out that this trick is very effective.

Whether it was Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Bo, Zhu Quan and others, they all entered the court to serve as officials.

Enter the court as an official.

In fact, this was also a disguised way for him to weaken the power of the feudal lords.
