Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 631: Jane is in the heart of the emperor! Southwest of Shizhen!

Latest website:

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down opposite Zhu Di.

Zhu Di raised his eyes and asked, Is everything resolved?

Well, it went well!

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, After all, it is the goodwill released by the imperial family. They are all smart people and no one will refuse!

And Liaodong, as the base for these noble military ministers, is also conducive to protecting the capital and cultivating generals and military attachés!

I plan to open another army academy in Liaodong to train generals for the imperial court. The students can be the children of nobles, or they can be ordinary soldiers with outstanding performance in various armies.

Zhu Di nodded when he heard this and said nothing.

As long as it is a proposal that is beneficial to the court, he will not object.

And Zhu Di cares about one thing more than the Army Academy now!

Are you really prepared to let Zhang Fushi control Jiaozhi and Mu Shengshi control Yunnan?

Is there any problem? Zhu Gaoxu asked, Old Mu family and old Zhang family are loyal to my old Zhu family, and they are even married to the imperial family, so they can be regarded as their own family.

Moreover, the family tradition of these two families is quite good. Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng are both famous generals in the world. The southwest is left to them to guard, and the six kings of Central and South will check and balance the situation. They will not pose a threat to the royal family!

Zhu Di was noncommittal upon hearing this, but instead asked Zhu Gaoxu a meaningful question.

Do you really think that Taizu didn't attack Yunnan Mu Mansion when he slaughtered the nobles?

Zhu Gaoxu was startled when he heard this. He still really didn't know the secret!

Zhu Di sighed and said in a faint tone.

At that time, Taizu adhered to the concept of letting princes guard the border. It was safest to only be guarded by people named Zhu, so he sent Zhu Shouqian to guard Yunnan in an attempt to replace Mu Ying's position in Yunnan.

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Shouqian arrived in Yunnan, he returned to his old ways, was extravagant and licentious, plundered and killed innocent people, raped and raped, and adopted strict government orders. Because he refused to change despite repeated admonitions, Taizu had no choice but to depose him again and imprison him in Nanjing.

On the contrary, the Mu Mansion was very smart and did not take any action. It only made the people of Yunnan more resistant to the imperial court by sitting back and watching Zhu Shouqian commit suicide!

After that, Taizu sent the eighteenth-year-old Zhu Qi to reorganize the town in Yunnan. Later Jianwen implemented the policy of reducing vassal vassals. After being reported by Xiping Hou Musheng for illegal activities, he was deposed as a commoner and was exiled to Zhangzhou.

After I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor, I tried many times to weaken the power of Mu Mansion and sent my trusted associates to Yunnan many times, but each time I failed due to various reasons!

Oh, Mu Sheng is a smart man, and he is indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but Yunnan has become his iron-clad empire, and no one can interfere!

Now, do you still want them to control Yunnan?

I'm afraid that there will be a Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan, and there will be a Prince Zhang's Mansion in Jiaozhi soon!

Hearing Zhu Di's heart-wrenching remarks, Zhu Gaoxu fell silent immediately.

This is indeed a heart-breaking statement!

There were no kings with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty. For example, King Xu Da of Zhongshan was just a posthumous title, and the highest title was Duke of the Kingdom!

But now Zhu Di said Prince Mu's Mansion and said Prince Zhang's Mansion when he was silent. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Mu Mansion's previous approach of secretly confronting the imperial court!

He really didn't expect that the imperial court would still have such discord with Mu Mansion!

But if you think about it, you can understand that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were both wise and powerful emperors. How could they tolerate the emergence of a state within a state in the Ming Dynasty!

The behavior of the Mu Mansion is easier to understand. The whole of Yunnan was conquered by Mu Ying, and Mu Ying controlled southern Yunnan alone for ten years. He promoted farming, encouraged farmers to teach, cultivated mulberry trees, established schools with courtesy, spread the culture of the Central Plains, and stabilized the country. The frontier allows the people of Yunnan to live and work in peace and contentment.

Now that the imperial court suddenly sent a prince to seize power and directly take away the fruits of victory, who wouldn't be disgusted by this matter?

Even if they have never had any second thoughts and have always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the old Zhu family, it is human nature to protect the rights and interests in their hands, and no one can blame them!

Neither the imperial court nor the Mu Mansion were at fault, it was just because of their differing ideas.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly.

Let's leave the southwest to them!

The situation in the southwest is complicated, and an unknown general is in charge. Sooner or later, there will be a day of corruption!

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people of Yunnan have long recognized Mu Mansion, and only Mu Mansion can suppress those chieftains and barbarian chieftains!

The same principle applies to Zhang Fu's town on Jiaozhi. He attacked Jiaozhi three times, and his evil name stopped the children of Jiaozhi from crying. He was asked to guard Jiaozhi, and then implemented various benevolent policies, so that the people of Jiaozhi would be convinced and surrender!

Besides the two of them, are there any better candidates? Most of the clan kings are mediocre, and they have high self-esteem and ignore the people. Is it possible to let them harm the people in the southwest and cause another war to break out in the southwest?

Zhu Di also sighed after hearing these words.

How could he not know that leaving the southwest to be guarded by Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng was the best arrangement.

However, as the Yongle Emperor, Mu Sheng and Zhang Fu's previous actions touched upon the inverse scale of his great emperor!

No matter what your reasons are, deploying troops privately to support yourself is a capital crime, not to mention secretly making some small moves against the imperial court!

Why do you believe them so much?

Are you really not afraid that they will coerce the six kings of Central and South China and hold a peace battle after you and I die?

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaoxu sharply, trying to let him convince him.

Zhu Gaoxu just smiled when he heard this.

Why believe them?

Because history has proven it!

The Mu Mansion has guarded Yunnan for generations. Starting from Mu Ying, there were two and three generations of Xiping marquis; starting from Mu Sheng, there were ten and thirteen generations of Dukes of Guizhou, ending in the Nanming Dynasty.

Even when the Ming Dynasty collapsed, the Mu Mansion did not betray the old Zhu family. The last Duke of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo, inherited the title at the age of ten. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he followed the Yongli court, and then followed Zhu You. When Lang entered Burma, he was kidnapped by Burmese soldiers during the Curse Water incident. He grabbed a knife and resisted until death.

The same is true for the old Zhang family. The British dukedom started from Zhang Fu and was inherited by his descendants from generation to generation. The title was passed down to eight and nine generations in total, and ended in the Ming Dynasty.

When the last British Duke, Zhang Shize, fought against Li Zicheng and captured Beijing, he fought bloody battles on the city walls and eventually died for his country!

Compared with the old Zhang family, which is full of loyal people, although the Yunnan Mu Mansion is a little less interesting, at least it has not done anything like a seller seeking glory.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu was relieved to hand over the southwest to them.

Seeing how determined he was, Zhu Di stopped trying to persuade him.

That's all.

Sooner or later, this throne will be yours.

I am old too, so I will do as you wish!

Go away and let them two in!

Outside Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng were uneasy.

They were extremely nervous at the moment!

When they saw Zhu Gaoxu, their bodies were as tense as strings.

go in!

It'll be okay!
