Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 155: Ming Dynasty's Regret: Zhu Gaochi
Xia Yuanji took in the expressions of Xie Jin, Hu Yi, and Yang Shiqi and explained, "Don't misunderstand, Lord Fang didn't arrest Huang Zicheng mainly because he wanted to see his purpose for entering the city and who he would come into contact with."

"So that's how it is!" Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi nodded and relaxed.

"Everyone, I think we should inform Jiang Li about this matter and let the Jinyiwei keep an eye on the person." Yao Guangxiao said.

Xia Yuanji nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

"Everyone, there is something I want to say first. I think Huang Zicheng is not important, but the person Huang Zicheng is looking for is very important." Xie Jin said in a deep voice.

"Shhhhh!"

Xia Yuanji, Hu Yi, Yang Shiqi and Yao Guangxiao's expressions changed slightly when they heard this, and their eyes flickered.

They understood the profound meaning of Xie Jin's words.

Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts are unknown now. If Huang Zicheng can find his whereabouts, it will definitely be a great achievement.

"Alas," Fang Xiaoru sighed, feeling very complicated.

Zhu Yunwen disappeared, and he felt that this was the best outcome.

Zhu Yunhuan did not keep a close eye on Zhu Yunwen, perhaps because he was disdainful, or perhaps because he knew Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, or perhaps for other reasons.

But no matter what, Zhu Yunwen finally survived and kept his life.

But now the appearance of Huang Zicheng has made things tense again. A bloody fact is placed in front of everyone. Once Zhu Yunwen is discovered, he will have no way out.

"Okay, it's enough for us to be clear about this matter. Everyone should be careful recently. I will go to Jiang Li and tell him to let their Jinyiwei take action." Xia Yuanji said.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded and stood up to leave.

Fang Xiaoru was the last to leave.

Before leaving, he looked up at Xia Yuanji and said, "Master Xia..."

Xia Yuanji seemed to understand what Fang Xiaoru was about to say. He shook his head and said, "Master Fang, if things really get to that point, I can't stop it, and neither can you."

"Alas," Fang Xiaoru sighed deeply, bowed to Xia Yuanji, turned around and walked away.

In the blink of an eye.

Xia Yuanji was the only one left in the study.

"Let's see how the situation develops first. If we really find the person, we must wait until His Majesty comes back to deal with it." Xia Yuanji murmured from time to time.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, stood up and left the study.

It didn't take long.

Xia Yuanji met Jiang Li.

"Lord Xia, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Li looked surprised and puzzled.

Since Fang Xiaoru went directly to find Xia Yuanji after meeting Huang Zicheng, Xia Yuanji is now under his key surveillance.

"Commander Jiang, I just got some news and now I need your help." Xia Yuanji said.

The reason why he made the trip in person was to let Jiang Li know the seriousness of the matter and to prevent any major chaos from occurring.

In short, in one sentence, keep the situation under control and wait until Zhu Yunhuan returns to deal with everything.

"Oh? What kind of news is it that is worthy of Lord Xia's efforts?" Jiang Lin said.

Xia Yuanji took a deep breath and said, "Huang Zicheng has entered the city. I want you to send someone to monitor him."

"Huh?" Jiang Li was stunned and looked up at Xia Yuanji.

He had known that Huang Zicheng had entered the city a long time ago, and had already sent people to secretly monitor Huang Zicheng.

What he didn't expect was that Xia Yuanji also knew the news.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he knew why Xia Yuanji knew it.

It must have been Fang Xiaoru who told Xia Yuanji the news.

"Lord Xia, why don't you arrest Huang Zicheng?" Jiang Li hesitated slightly and said in a deep voice.

Xia Yuanji shook his head and said, "Huang Zicheng must have some ulterior motive for entering Yingtian Prefecture. This is a rare opportunity. We can keep an eye on him and find some of the people who are hiding."

"The person who is hiding!" Jiang Li's eyes fixed.

Xia Yuanji's face remained calm as he met Jiang Li's gaze. He said, "Commander Jiang, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he still appointed you as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I'm sure you won't disappoint His Majesty, right?"

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "Master Xia, you're joking. I am loyal to His Majesty!"

He knew the status of the six cabinet ministers in Zhu Yunhuan's heart.

Not only him, the entire Ming Dynasty should know the status of the cabinet.

Zhu Yunhuan left Yingtian Prefecture and let the cabinet take charge of the court operations. This revealed too many things.

Therefore, Jiang Li did not dare to offend Xia Yuanji.

"Sir Jiang, I must reiterate that we must ensure that Yingtian Prefecture is not in chaos. Any matters must be handled personally by Your Majesty after you return. Do you understand?" Xia Yuanji said solemnly.

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes!"

"Goodbye!" Xia Yuanji took a deep breath and walked away.

Jiang Li looked at Xia Yuanji's back, and was filled with surprise and doubt: "Fang Xiaoru went to see Xia Yuanji to tell him the news that Huang Zicheng had entered the city."

After pondering for a moment, he also walked away.

In the small courtyard!
Jiang Li came before Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Tell me, how did things go?"

Jiang Li had just left not long ago and now he came back. He must have found out about the progress of some things, so he asked directly.

Jiang Li said, "Your Majesty, Fang Xiaoru told Xia Yuanji the news that Huang Zicheng had entered the city. Xia Yuanji just came to me and asked me to send someone to keep an eye on Huang Zicheng."

"Fang Xiaoru told Xia Yuanji the news that Huang Zicheng entered the city?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned.

This result was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Fang Xiaoru was the one he carefully selected to be the regent for Zhu Yunwen. He might have misjudged his ability, but he was very confident in Fang Xiaoru's character.

Although Fang Xiaoru later defected to Zhu Yunhuan, no one felt that there was anything wrong with his character.

However, now Fang Xiaoru directly betrayed Huang Zicheng for his own future, which is a big problem.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's silence, Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think Xia Yuanji wants to take advantage of this opportunity to find the grandson of Emperor Yunwen."

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed himself down and asked, "Does Huang Zicheng know where Yunwen is?"

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"Keep watching and report to us at any time if there is any situation." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Zhu Yunwen had been sent to Huangjue Temple and became a monk there.

This was Zhu Yunwen's only way to survive.

Therefore, he would never let Huang Zicheng find Zhu Yunwen under any circumstances. Doing so would not give Zhu Yunwen hope of regaining the throne, but would instead cost him his life.

"Yes!" Jiang Li bowed, turned around and walked away.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed quietly in the room, his eyes flickering.

On the road!
"Boom!"

Zhu Yunhuan was heading towards Peking with an army of 100,000.

There was a rumbling sound as the cavalry trampled the ground.

"Sanbao, pass the order down, take a rest in front!" Zhu Yunhuan looked at the river not far away and said to Ma Sanbao beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Sanbao nodded and turned to convey Zhu Yunhuan's order.

"His Majesty has ordered us to rest in front!"

"His Majesty has ordered us to rest in front!"

"."

Zhu Di rode on his warhorse, his eyes looking towards Beiping, thinking to himself, "I hope I can make it in time."

Although he now surrendered to Zhu Yunhuan, Beiping was no longer his fiefdom.

However, if possible, he was unwilling to let Peking be captured.

After all, he had been in Peking for more than ten years and had deep feelings for it.

Historically, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he even moved the imperial capital to Beijing.

Although Zhu Di had reasons to change the imperial city.

However, for Zhu Di, there was only one real reason to move the imperial city to Beiping: Beiping was the place where he could feel at ease.

From this we can see that the status of Peking in his heart is self-evident.

Beiping now has soldiers and horses, but lacks outstanding generals. As an outstanding general who has fought on the battlefield for many years, he knows too well the blessing of generals on soldiers and horses.

At this moment, he really wanted to fly to Peking immediately.

After a while.

One hundred thousand soldiers stopped and rested on the spot.

"Whoosh. Whoosh"

Zhu Yunhuan rode on his warhorse, looking at the surging river in front of him with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, a letter from Peking!" Ma Sanbao walked over with a letter in his hand.

"Shhhhh!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di, Lan Yu, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Li Jinglong and others turned their heads and looked at Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Yunhuan reached out to take the letter, opened it and read the contents, his eyes became a little strange.

Taking a deep breath, he said to Zhu Di beside him, "Fourth Uncle, are you very worried about Beiping right now?"

"Ah?" Zhu Di was stunned and a little surprised.

He didn't expect Zhu Yunhuan to ask him suddenly.

After being distracted for a moment, he came back to his senses and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Peking is currently lacking outstanding generals."

He didn't hide it.

Peking means a lot to him.

"You don't have to worry now. Uncle Seventeen is helping you defend Beiping. The Northern Yuan Dynasty should not be able to capture Beiping." Zhu Yunheng said with a smile.

"Seventeenth brother? He is defending Peking?" Zhu Di was a little confused.

For safety reasons, he imprisoned Zhu Quan.

Zhu Quan was living well in Daning, but he was first kidnapped to Beiping and then imprisoned. If you put yourself in his shoes, you won’t know how angry he must be now.

This is also the reason why he had never considered Zhu Quan before.

"Gao Chi is a talented person. He released his seventeenth uncle and persuaded him to help defend Beiping." Zhu Yunheng said.

As a fan of Ming history, he has a very high opinion of Zhu Gaochi.

He once studied that if Zhu Gaochi had not died so early, many problems of the Ming Dynasty could actually have been solved by Zhu Gaochi.

Although, in history, Zhu Gaochi was low-key and had no major highlights.

But please don't get me wrong, Zhu Gaochi is not an ordinary person.

Not only was Zhu Gaochi not mediocre, he was also very outstanding.

Zhu Gaochi's reign was short and he did not have many great ideas, but some of his highlights can be found in other places.

Let’s talk about Zhu Di.

There was once a joke in history that Zhu Di was Zhu Gaochi's general who conquered the north.

This is actually not groundless.

A closer look at Zhu Di's life will reveal something.

Born in war, died on the journey.

Five expeditions to Mobei.

The Ming Dynasty's flat-headed brother.

The emperor on horseback fought wars across the country.

Zhu Di has many titles, and all of these titles have one thing in common.

Demonstrating Zhu Di's martial arts.

Well, the problem is coming.

Zhu Di was an emperor. While he was fighting wars, who would manage the Ming Dynasty?

The national strength of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty was stronger than that of Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Di was either fighting a war or on his way to a war.

A person's energy is limited.

Even a powerful emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang had to stop leading his troops to fight and instead govern the Ming Dynasty.

There is no need to elaborate on Zhu Yuanzhang's energy, right?

Among all the emperors in the history of the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely in the top three, and he might even be able to compete for the first or second place.

This is not an exaggeration.

Look at Zhu Yuanzhang’s life.

He abolished the prime minister and took charge of all the affairs of the court.

The harem can still be taken care of, and the children are coming out one by one.

I can't accept it!

Zhu Di's energy was far inferior to that of Zhu Yuanzhang. If Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do something, Zhu Di naturally couldn't do it either.

However, the national strength of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty is obvious to all.

This brings us to Zhu Gaochi.

Historically, since Zhu Di started his rebellion in Beiping, Zhu Gaochi has been silently helping Zhu Di manage everything.

When Zhu Di was fighting against Zhu Yunwen in the Jingnan Rebellion, he stayed in Beiping and stabilized the base camp.

While Zhu Di was fighting foreign wars, he stayed in the court, acting as regent as the crown prince and stabilizing the Ming Dynasty.

without any exaggeration.

Zhu Di’s great achievements in history should be attributed at least half to Zhu Gaochi.

It was because Zhu Gaochi stabilized the rear that Zhu Di was able to wage war against other countries without restraint.

In this situation, there is really nothing wrong with joking about a general who conquered the north.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, father and son.

One stands out in Wu.

One is highlighted in the text.

Zhu Gaochi's ability lies in his ability to smooth things over silently.

He was not as fierce as Zhu Di, but he handled everything in an orderly manner, and there was no fault to be found.

From the perspective of being an emperor alone, Zhu Gaochi is more similar and more suitable than Zhu Di.

But it's a pity.

Zhu Di put too much pressure on Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaochi himself had problems, which led to his death not long after he took the throne.

However, although Zhu Gaochi died, he still helped Zhu Zhanji ascend to the throne.

Don’t say that Zhu Zhanji is capable or lucky.

In fact, the real reason was that Zhu Gaochi was very powerful.

This is not nonsense.

Think about the situation at that time.

Zhu Gaochi's reign was so short that many people may not have even come to their senses.

Many people may subconsciously think of Zhu Di's Fengtian Jingnan Campaign.

Historically, Zhu Gaoxu followed Zhu Di to start his rebellion in Peking and fought with him all the way.

With this real experience.

Naturally, the hearts of the generals in the army were basically on Zhu Gaoxu's side.

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Having soldiers is the kingly way.

What's more, there is the precedent of Zhu Di.

But in the end, Zhu Gaoxu lost, and lost completely.

Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne!
