Chapter 171 Can you be more sincere?

After Zhang Xianzong left, Yang Feng sat there and looked out at Nanjing City with a deep look on his face.

This is a conspiracy.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's conspiracy.

Coax him out in this way, and then hand him over to someone outside to see if they can kill him.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill him all the time now, but the problem is that he can't do it himself, as that will cause the relationship between the two parties to break up, forcing him to take risks, and it will be bad if he really kills him in the palace. So he coaxed him out to investigate the case, and then let him

The dead men of King Jin are responsible for taking action, and it doesn't matter what the outcome is for King Jin.

In order to kill him, Zhu Yuanzhang did not mind sacrificing his son.

Anyway, King Jin is not very honest.

No matter who Zhu Yuanzhang chooses to inherit the throne in the end, King Jin will be an unsettling factor.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew this very well.

Zhu Di succeeded to the throne. As the elder brother, King Jin would definitely not accept surrendering to his younger brother...

They are both legitimate sons, both have military achievements, and he is still older, why should he submit to Zhu Di?

What's more, the relationship between the two is already bad.

The King of Jin also has a large number of subordinates from the northwest. He has been controlling the northwest for many years. He has many cronies, as well as veteran generals such as Fu Youde and his father-in-law Xie Cheng, who are in-laws. If Zhu Di succeeds to the throne, he will definitely rebel in the northwest.

Zhu Yunxi succeeded to the throne, not to mention cutting down the vassal vassal, but the old accounts of the assassination case also had to be settled. Will the King of Jin just sit back and wait for death?

When Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he took control of the northwest with his support. At the very least, it was a separatist trend. What's more, why did he support Zhu Yunwen? Isn't it because Zhu Yunwen was weak and easy to control? And the result of being weak and easy to control was not because of his uncle.

You can control the power, and even unite with other lords to create a situation where strong branches and weak cadres are strong, and then for the sake of profit, you will finally launch a new version of the Eight Kings Rebellion. This is actually very possible. The most dangerous result of the Jingnan Incident is actually

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings, but Zhu Di's military ability was too strong and could overwhelm the other vassal kings, so Jingnan did not turn into the Rebellion of the Eight Kings. However, the King of Jin was not as capable as Zhu Di. As a result, he wanted to control the government, and the other vassal princes were all

Unsatisfied, they finally showed their magical powers and turned the Ming Dynasty into a pot of porridge.

A mind like Lao Zhu's will deduce various possible outcomes.

Ever since his third son got involved in this fight, he has probably started to consider various possibilities.

This son cannot be kept.

Let him fight Yang Feng!

Even if he was killed by Yang Feng, he had dedicated his life to the Zhu family. If he had the ability to kill Yang Feng, he could also use privately manufactured arms to capture him and imprison him in Fengyang. Therefore, the whole incident was approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di has a close connection with his father.

"Damn, just your father is already giving me a headache, and now you add your fourth brother, two old thieves, it's going to make my head explode!"

Yang Feng said angrily.

The little princess raised her head, pushed up her glasses, and looked at him blankly.

These are obviously beyond the scope of her IQ.

"Then you are still going?"

She said carefully.

She also saw that Yang Feng was very serious now.

"Go, why don't you go? The old score of your third brother's murder of me has not been settled yet!"

Yang Feng said.

"But, you can't kill my third brother."

The little princess said in a pleading tone.

"Okay, he's still your brother after all. If you don't want to kill him, I won't kill him. But I can't guarantee anything else!"

Yang Feng said.

"As long as I don't kill him!"

The little princess waved her hand vigorously.

It was obvious that her affection for Zhu Fan was limited to this point. In fact, in terms of age, she and her third brother had only met each other in single digits in their lifetime. Zhu Fan was a vassal in the eleventh year of Hongwu, and she was in the tenth year of Hongwu.

She was born four years ago. When she was born, Zhu Fan was already a vassal in Taiyuan. It was impossible for her to go to Taiyuan, and it was impossible for Zhu Fan to enter the court once a year. Even if he entered the court, he would not necessarily see this sister. In this way, the two of them would spend their entire lives

The number of meetings must not exceed ten times. For such a brother, it is indeed enough not to kill him.

It would be a shame not to kill him.

You must know that he tried to kill Yang Feng. If it were not her third brother, the little princess would think that such a person should be killed quickly.

As for the relationship between the little princess and Zhu Di, which is slightly better, it is mainly because she went to Liaodong last time, and she is more familiar with Zhu Di's two sons.

But Yang Feng didn't care about Zhu Fan.

His target was not Zhu Fan originally.

In this way, His Majesty the Emperor's imperial edict was officially issued the next day. Shanxi businessman Wang Ping was the first to report the Jin vassal worker Zheng Hu Xin in Datong Ye for his illegal intentions of privately manufacturing arms. The Youdu Censor Lai Gong from the Metropolitan Procuratorate went to Taiyuan.

He investigated with Wei Guogong Xu Huizu and invited Daxia envoy Yang Feng to accompany him as a consultant.

Departure today.

Datong Ye is actually located in Jiaocheng, which is one of several major official smelters in Shanxi and the main production area of ​​the ordnance of the Jin Dynasty and Taiyuan Guards.

In fact, Yang Feng's guess should be correct. Not only the King of Jin, but also people like Zhu Di were secretly manufacturing arms in the iron smelting base under his control. Even Zhu Yuanzhang might have known about it for a long time, but he just pretended not to know.

After all, it's a matter of time.

The previous ban on the Ministry of Industry and Steel Metallurgy manufacturing these arms in places other than the factories in the capital was actually insisted on by Zhu Yunxi, who did not want his uncles to master the manufacture of these new weapons. But for Zhu Yuanzhang, such precautions were not necessary.

New tactics and weapons will be promoted sooner or later, so his sons will create them privately and there will be no need to delve into them.

Anyway, they built it to enhance the combat effectiveness of their own guards.

But now I can only check.

Longjiang Pass.

"My dear sir, you dress lightly and are simple and obedient!"

Yang Fenglao looked at his partner with interest.

The latter is alone.

However, there were fifty guards in royal robes guarding them, and there were also four subordinate officials accompanying Lai Gong, but they were official personnel, and Lai Gong had no personal entourage.

"I am old and poor. I have the only old servant in my family, and I have to stay to take care of my family!"

Lai Gong stroked his beard and said.

He was indeed very poor. Someone accused him of corruption, but Zhu Yuanzhang secretly went to make a surprise attack. As a result, he was hoeing vegetables in the yard, and his wife was spinning and weaving. His Majesty the Emperor was very happy, and he was finally sure that his officials really had some wealth.

Integrity, he then turned around and chopped up the person who accused him.

Of course, this is only in the capital, and it’s hard to say what it’s like in my hometown.

He is from Shaanxi.

Sanyuan, Yaozhou, Shaanxi, and the Sanyuan clan was the main family of Shaanxi officials in the late Ming Dynasty, especially in the Jialong Wansan Dynasty. Each generation of the Sanyuan clan had officials of fifth rank or above, and was considered an important member of the Confucian family in Shaanxi.

"There are not hundreds of hectares of fertile land in your hometown?"

Yang Feng said.

"Old man's hometown is Sanyuan, Yaozhou. If the ambassador is interested in this trip, you can go there and have a look. Although I don't have fine wine and food, I can still afford to entertain him with simple meals."

Lai Gong said calmly.

"Then what are you trying to do as an official?"

Yang Feng put his arms around Chun Ji's waist and said with a villain's face.

"To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations. If you don't read the books of the sages, but only make profit plans, you naturally don't understand the old man's plans. If you are an official and only seek profit, then

How is it different from a merchant? A gentleman only lives by farming and studying. His daily life is nothing more than simple food, food and drink. He only has a wife who is a chaff by his side. What use is money to me?"

Lai Gong said.

"Lai Gong said it well!

If the ambassador does not read the books of sages, he cannot understand these things.

If the ambassador is interested, I would be willing to give you a few copies so that the people of Daxia can know the way of the sages."

Liu Sanwu, who was seeing him off next to him, said.

"Do you agree with what he said?"

Yang Feng smiled.

"This is the way that we Confucian scholars seek."

Liu Sanwu said while stroking his beard.
