Chapter One Hundred and Seventieth: The Weird Political Vortex(1/2)
Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden attack at today's court meeting, including Zhan Hui's impeachment of Chang Mao, all that happened was Chen Yunfu, the only one in the court, who had guessed it as if he were a mirror in his heart.
Only Chen Yunfu knew the truth best, including why everything that happened these days had happened.
The source of the matter was Zhu Yunhui's ritual to capture Zhou that day.
Let's go back to the plate, otherwise there will be a lot of fog.
Long before Zhu Yunhuo captured Zhou Zhiyi, Zhu Yuanzhang left the capital to Fengyang. At that time, Zhu Biao specially found Chen Yunfu and talked about the move of the capital.
At that time, Chen Yunfu was very surprised that when moving the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang would actually give Zhu Biao a decision on such an important thing.
That only means that Zhu Yuanzhang is old and has really begun to consider handing over the imperial power to Zhu Biao.
Combined with the content of the "Edict of Remembrance of the Empress Ma" written by Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace, Chen Yunfu firmly believed that at this moment, Zhu Biao, the only son, who is worthy of his attention in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
So good, since Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to Zhu Biao, then Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunhuang arrests Zhou's etiquette. Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely prepare gifts for this grandson and pay attention to this banquet.
Everyone has heard of many stories about the Jinyiwei, and Chen Yunfu also knew that Ling'er was the eyeliner that Zhu Yuanzhang kept by him, but he never said anything. Just keep it. Anyway, he didn't do anything illegal or disciplined, so he was afraid of.
I had a clear idea in my heart, so Chen Yunfu didn't plan to drink at that day's banquet.
But if he didn't drink, he couldn't resist a group of brainless people coming up and persuaded him, so he simply drank some and pretended to be drunk.
The first part of the entire Zhou Zhili was not nutritious or worth mentioning, and the focus was only on the end.
At that time, Chen Yunfu and his father-in-law Shao Zhi and Zhu Biao sang a play together. Chen Yunfu made a move to drink too much, and said that Zhu Yun was just a child and could understand what it means to arrest Zhou. So Shao Zhi immediately stood up and accused Zhu Biao, saying that Chen Yunfu was drunk.
Zhu Biao took the opportunity to repel and asked the palace maid and Shao Zhi to pull Chen Yunfu away.
It was just right that Chen Yunfu was just trying to avoid drinking, but who would have thought that Chang Mao didn't know if he was drunk or had any other thoughts, but suddenly he came up with the words praising Zhu Yunsheng.
Note that just after Chang Mao finished speaking, Lan Yu planned to agree, and Chen Yunfu threw Lan Yu down with the help of alcohol.
Very strange, isn't it?
At that time, there was Shao Zhi beside Chen Yunfu and several palace maids surrounded him. If Chen Yunfu was really drunk, he should have slaughtered the palace maids, and could not avoid everyone in front of him so accurately, but just threw Lan Yu down.
Therefore, Chen Yunfu was not drunk at all. Not only was he not drunk, but his mind was also very clear.
When Chang Mao said that passage, Chen Yunfu's unusual intuition once again captured the sense of crisis, so at the moment when Lan Yu barely spoke, Chen Yunfu threw Lan Yu down.
Originally, with Lan Yu's strength, even if Chen Yunfu threw him down, he could always push Chen Yunfu away, so as not to wait for others to pull Chen Yunfu away.
Just because of the opportunity of the two of them being close together, Chen Yunfu said.
"Shut up and pretend to be drunk!"
Adhering to the principle of unconditional trust in Chen Yunfu, Lan Yu decisively pretended to hit the back of her head and fell asleep with a dizziness.
Zhu Biao was so angry that he couldn't help but tremble, and the banquet ended unhappily.
Chen Yunfu saved more than just Lan Yu, he saved Zhu Biao!
As for how to save it, I will talk about it later.
Let's go first and then.
When Zhu Biao told Chen Yunfu that Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken the imperial return to Beijing, Chen Yunfu immediately rushed to the Tongzheng Envoy Office to ask Hu Sizong, but the news he received was that the Tongzheng Envoy Office had not received all the news about the return of the imperial chief about the sages.
Why did Zhu Yuanzhang conduct a sudden attack without hiding the Tongzheng Envoy?
The reason is very simple, he must have some shameful arrangements.
Lao Zhu wants to touch Chang Mao!
Chen Yunfu racked his brains to think about the fate of Chang Mao in history, and he could already determine what the real cause of Chang Mao, Feng Sheng and Lan Yu died in history.
Establish a crown prince!
Since Lao Zhu wanted to touch Chang Mao, the easiest way was to use the Five Army Governor's Office to pick up the mistakes that Chang Mao made in the army, so Chen Yunfu frequently read the memorials of the Five Army Governor's Office.
But nothing was found and no one impeached Chang Mao.
Chen Yunfu developed self-doubt at that time. Could it be that history has gone wrong?
Then he suddenly realized.
What crime did Chang Mao live in history?
On the day when he followed Feng Sheng to make a northern expedition and forced Naha out, Naha was drunk in the Ming army camp and spoke unrestrainedly and aggressively. So Chang Mao drew his sword and injured Naha out of his way, regardless of Feng Sheng's obstruction.
Because of this, Feng Sheng impeached Chang Mao in front of Zhu Yuanzhang after returning to the capital, and Chang Mao said that Feng Sheng had lost the integrity of the Ming Dynasty.
The final result was that Feng Sheng was taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang and imprisoned at home, while Chang Mao was sentenced to death. Later, he was forgiven and sent to Longzhou, Guangxi, and died of illness within a year.
This is true in official history, but it really cannot be believed.
You must know that Feng Sheng is Chang Mao’s father-in-law!
In this era of kissing and hiding each other, the father-in-law and son-in-law were confronted by Zhu Yuanzhang, so let’s just kill the relatives for justice. But Chang Mao just killed Naha and was sentenced to death?
This is simply inexplicable.
So Chen Yunfu said that how could something unrealistic happen?
History has changed because of itself.
Chang Mao failed to go north with Feng Sheng, so it was naturally impossible for him to use a knife to cut off Naha. His crime was not at all, but that he was Zhu Yunxi's uncle!
He stood opposite Zhu Yuanzhang on the stance of supporting who is the grandson.
You know, no one except Chen Yunfu has a God's perspective.
Who would have thought that Zhu Biao would die before Zhu Yuanzhang? He believed that Zhu Biao would succeed him.
Then once Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne, the crown prince will either be Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Yunsheng.
As Zhu Yunxi's family, Chang Mao and Lan Yu naturally supported Zhu Yunxi, and Feng Sheng was Chang Mao's father-in-law, so he naturally stood on Zhu Yunxi's side.
After clarifying the relationship between characters and party interests, everything will be natural.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that these ministers might be tone-black to say that the slaves had already begun to argue with their family affairs, posing a great threat to the imperial power, so he raised his butcher knife without hesitation.
kill!
Since he wanted to kill, he had to be charged. Chang Mao did not cut Naha as in history, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to find a way from other places.
What else can I do?
Mobilize the local area to come up and impeach Chang Mao!
Therefore, Chen Yunfu rushed to the Censorate without stopping and asked for the impeachment memorial of the Governor's Office of the Five Army and Zhili. Sure enough, he found the impeachment of the Censor's magistrate of Huaiyuan County, Haozhou Prefecture, Kuang Wei, in the Zhili memorial of the impeachment of Chang Mao.
At this time, Chen Yunfu gave himself a cover.
He said that what he came to find was a businessman in Suzhou Prefecture that raised prices.
And before leaving, he told Chen Xinli, and said in a pun.
"Are all the officials in Suzhou Prefecture blind and mute?"
Actually, this is telling Chen Xinli what I am here to do today. You pretend to be blind and mute. If you don’t see it, don’t say it.
As for whether Chen Xinli can understand it, it depends on himself.
Chen Xinli understood, and he followed the trend and stated that this year the Beijing inspection will strictly investigate Suzhou Prefecture, confirming that Chen Yunfu came here just for Suzhou.
Therefore, Chen Yunfu happily patted Chen Xinli on the shoulder.
Chen Xinli seized this opportunity of luck by himself.
After Chen Yunfu left the Censorate, he knew that Chang Mao was dead.
But he saved Lan Yu!
In addition, let’s talk about the conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son that day, why did Zhu Yuanzhang say that if there were no Chen Yunfu, Zhu Biao would have become Li Shimin?
The military forces around Zhu Biao were too powerful, but this was what Zhu Yuanzhang intended.
Otherwise, how could Zhu Yuanzhang betrothed Chang Yuchun's daughter to Zhu Biao instead of Xu Da's daughter to Zhu Biao?
It seems that Xu Da's position is the leader in the Ming army, but who else can Xu Da's faction besides Xu Da's faction?
King Kaiping Chang Yuchun was not the case.
His brother-in-law is Lan Yu, and his son Chang Mao is Feng Sheng's son-in-law. Feng Sheng's elder brother is Feng Guoyong, who is Duke Cheng Guo, and Feng Guoyong's daughter is Zhu Yuanzhang's godson, the wife of Hou Muying of Xiping, and Mu Chun's biological mother!
As for the relationship between Mu Ying and Zhu Biao, is there any need to talk about here?
In addition, the late Qiyang King Li Wenzhong grew up with Zhu Biao since childhood, and Duke Cao and his family were also princelings.
Now I understand. The core of all the interests of the Ming Dynasty military was Zhu Biao alone. Zhu Biao succeeded to the throne and Zhu Yunsheng became the crown prince. Everyone was happy.
As for Xu Da's sect, there is only one powerful celebrity, that is his son-in-law, King Yan Zhu Di.
But who knows that Zhu Di will rebel and become the emperor in the future, right?
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had formed a second-generation power center with Zhu Biao as the core, with Duke Han Li Shanchang, Duke Zheng Chang Mao, Duke Song Feng Sheng, Duke Cao Li Wenzhong, and Duke Xiping Hou Muying as auxiliary ministers.
But God is dead, and everything Zhu Yuanzhang paved the way for Zhu Biao. He never thought that Chang's death was not done.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in trouble this time.
He himself did not want his children to be the emperor and torture each other, so he issued the Sermon of the Ming Dynasty, established the system of inheritance of the eldest son, and gradually transferred all the power to Zhu Biao. But now that the Chang family died, what should Zhu Biao do if he was emperor but had no queen in the future?
