Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty was obviously still in the novice stage of an emperor.

After all, Lao Zhu conquered the world with a broken bowl. To say that his family education is shallow is an exaggeration. Whether it is his early travels or his subsequent rise to power after joining Guo Zixing, Lao Zhu's transformation process is quite clear.

The same goes for becoming an emperor. There is always a process of getting familiar with it. Wishful thinking and hoping that the old brothers will help him build a family is obviously part of the tuition fee.

In fact, before Hongwu's third year, Lao Zhu announced that he would move the capital back to his hometown in the second year of Hongwu. Not only did he personally go there and name the site Zhongdu, but he also went to great lengths to relocate wealthy people to Jiangnan and Shanxi. This infill city drives development.

Set the capital in his hometown, and then give eternal favor to a group of brothers from his hometown, plus his sons will always be the vassal kings to control the four directions. This is the structure that Lao Zhu originally envisioned for governing the world.

So you said that Lao Zhu knew about the dispute between Huaixi and Zhejiang? He probably knows.

As for whether you care or not? who care? Those in the Huaixi Party are all my commoner brothers. Who do you think you are in East Zhejiang?

But as the saying goes, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, even if you become an emperor.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, the Zhongdu chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang was basically completed, and the move of the capital from Yingtianfu to his hometown of Haozhou could also be officially put on the agenda.

For this reason, Lao Zhu ran over in February to inspect the progress of the project and wrote an "Essay on the Zhongdu Memorial to Heaven and Earth" with great interest, in which he officially decided to change the name of his hometown to Fengyang.

But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Yingtianfu in April after completing his inspection, but issued an edict saying that moving the capital was a waste of people and money, so he stopped making Fengyang the capital and slapped himself in the face.

In fact, it is just an excuse to waste people and money, because Fengyang New City has been under construction for five years. Now you say you won't move if you don't want to move. What about the previous five years of labor and the wealthy households who have been moved here? Can you, Mr. Zhu, explain what it means to waste people and money?

Moreover, shortly after issuing the edict in April, Zhu Yuanzhang began to build a new palace in Yingtian Mansion in September of the same year, apparently forgetting the previous statement that he wasted people and money.

Regarding the abolition and relocation of the capital, the "History of the Ming Dynasty" states that when Lao Zhu was patrolling Fengyang, Li Shanchang reported that he found that the craftsmen were using the Weizhen method. After Zhu Yuanzhang killed the craftsmen involved, the relocation of the capital was abandoned. This means that The case of town property in the eighth year of Hongwu.

Does this statement alone hold water? Maybe, but not enough.

After all, it is true that Zhu Yuanzhang did show superstitious behavior in the history books, but in essence, we cannot ignore that he is also an extremely pragmatic politician. It is somewhat absurd to give up five years of investment just because of superstition.

But if you look back and forth from the eighth year of Hongwu, you can sort out a basic timeline:

In the second year, Xiu Fengyang wanted to move the capital; in the third year, the commoner brothers were given iron coupons to avoid death;

In the fourth year, Prime Minister Li Shan, the leader of the nobles, became ill and retired; in the fifth year, an iron board was set up to order the nobles to break the law;

It can be clearly seen from this line that Zhu Yuanzhang gradually drifted away from the founding nobles because of their arrogant behavior.

At the same time, while some are retreating, others are advancing, and another line is advancing hand in hand. The protagonist of this line is the party involved in the Hu case-Hu Weiyong. 】

Li Shanchang didn't feel much happy when he heard that he was mentioned.

On the one hand, it is because these things are considered old things that he has experienced. Seriously, it only lasted ten years. He still remembers them clearly, and he does not need a descendant who has been separated by hundreds of years to help him recall them.

On the other hand, as the only three civil servants who were awarded the title of meritorious officials in the third year of Hongwu, and even praised personally by His Majesty compared to Xiao He, his Li Shanchang head is naturally very useful.

Judging from the direction of the younger generation's verbal narrative, Li Shanchang vaguely sensed a sense of crisis.

He also knew clearly about the Hu Weiyong case that the blue was probably the blue jade. Combined with what later generations said was the real merit of destroying the residual Yuan, and considering the Iron Bang incident, he seemed to be able to vaguely deduce something.

But even if the two cases were added together, it would be nothing more than a dozen old ministers with seven or eight honors. But listening to the younger man's tone, Li Shanchang felt a little hair on his back.

Why do you feel as if the nobles and nobles of Huaixi cannot survive?

When this idea emerged from the bottom of his heart, Li Shanchang inevitably trembled in his heart, but then it was almost impossible to laugh at himself.

Even if some nobles in Huaixi are contrary to His Majesty's wishes, it is true that as the descendants said, now that the capital is in the east of Zhejiang, their Huaixi Party is still the foundation of His Majesty, and it is nothing more than punishment. How can anyone destroy their roots? ?

But now, adhering to the principle of acting with caution, Li Shanchang still stood up to accuse:

"I promoted him to the rank of Taichang Shaoqing. This is the beginning of disaster. I am ashamed."

In response, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned for Li Shanchang to sit back:

"This matter is beyond your imagination, nor is it something you can know. If you are guilty of this, shouldn't we be the first to expose it to the world?"

The meaning of the words is also very clear. Although Hu Weiyong entered the center on the recommendation of you, Li Shanchang, who finally agreed to recommend him?

Besides, as long as Hu Weiyong is willing, as a Huaixi native and a former defector who came here in the 15th year of Zhizheng, it is not difficult to find a way in the capital city where "half Huaihe is born in a high bun in the city".

Therefore, Tomorrow had no intention of holding anyone accountable at this moment. He just looked at the thoughts speculated by later generations that were almost the same as what he thought when he was enlightened, and finally sighed:

"It's true that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten."

To enjoy the honor and protect the Ming Dynasty forever, this is the greatest sincerity he can show to his old friend. However, it is obvious that his old friend is not satisfied with this greatest sincerity. He has been testing the bottom line step by step since the iron certificate was issued.

Before the enlightenment, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Huaixi Gujiu might be brave or unyielding, risking one's life or being loyal, but after being named a prince, he discovered for the first time that Huaixi Gujiu was greedy. So dazzling.

Empress Ma was confused by her husband's slightly frustrated sigh. She held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tightly and said:

"Even if we can't become the Central Capital, it is still a hometown in Chongba. Why not follow the example and appoint a bachelor's assistant so that we can go back to Fengyang for a visit when we have free time?"

After pondering for a while, Tomorrow finally shook his head:

"The earth has north and south, and the people have no two minds. They should be treated equally if they live in Dabao. The world is the homeland of the emperor. Is there any difference?"

These were supposed to be words he used to refute the North-South theory many years later, but he thought it was quite appropriate to use it here.

Although there are still twenty years left in his life, Zhu Yuanzhang already has a vague feeling that Hongwu's return to Fengyang in eight years may be his last return home in this life.

However, the thought of this actually makes me very excited:

"Let us see how future generations will judge last year's events!"
