Daming: The prince pretended to be blind and was exposed by Sister Zhou’s live broadcast

During the Hongwu period, both the officialdom and the people paid great attention to both time periods!

One is the annual flood season, which is when there is a lot of rain in the summer, and the other is the autumn harvest, which is the harvest time of the year!

Whenever something happens at these two time points, it is easy to make the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang angry!

Zhu Yuanzhang was most worried about the people of the Ming Dynasty not having enough to eat. He was also worried about various natural disasters, including frequent floods during the annual flood season!

Zhu Yue had just received the news that Jiang Yu was imprisoned in Zhao Prison by the old man, and Qin Han also came in a hurry with a solemn look on his face!

"Your Highness, I have just received news that there is an insect infestation in Hunan, and people's crop fields have been affected in large areas, including Xianning, Hubei and other places, due to continuous heavy rains, there are also floods. You are really a god, you have even considered this!"

As early as when the grain was harvested, Zhu Yue had already ordered Qin and Han to focus on Hunan and Hubei to see if there would be any disasters this summer.

Qin and Han didn't think much about it at the time. Anyway, he would arrange it as Zhu Yue said.

But What he didn't expect was that there was indeed a disaster in these two places!

While he was shocked, he also admired Zhu Li even more. He didn't know how his prince calculated it.

"Allocate 20,000 shi of grain and send it directly to the king for disaster relief in these two areas. Yang Hui will be personally responsible for this matter!"

Zhu Yue showed an unsurprising expression after hearing the news, and gave the order directly.

Moreover, the potatoes will be harvested in the second season soon. In the future, part of the food will be allocated to continue to be used for disaster relief!

"Your Highness, is this too much?"

The Qin and Han Dynasties were shocked!

If Hanzhong Mansion hadn't stocked up about 10,000 shi of grain earlier, even if the entire harvest was added up, it wouldn't be so much!

There are a few hundred acres of land in total, and the yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu would only be a few thousand shi in total.

That ’s it.

Fortunately , the yield of potatoes is about 3,000 kilograms per acre, and the entire summer harvest is only a little less!

A few hundred acres sounds like a lot, but it’s actually not much!

In the second season of this year, thousands of acres of potatoes have been planted!

"The original grain reserves of Hanzhong Mansion were not moved, and fifteen thousand dan were obtained from the Hanzhong Army's grain reserves!"

Zhu Yue directly included the grain reserves of the Hanzhong Army!

Zhu Yue has also been hoarding tens of thousands of shi of grain for the army in the past few years. Although it is somewhat distressing to use it for disaster relief at this time, some things have to be done.!

The old man has been investigating him for some reason.

He must do something to raise his prestige and reputation among the people!

In Hubei and Hunan, his Hanzhong army went south. The most important thing for him is to gain the support of the people in these two places, which he must pass through on the waterway!

This is also thanks to Zhou Shuyi, who really told him that at this point in history, these two places If there is a disaster, he is planning ahead!

And in one month, these thousands of acres of potatoes will be harvested! As long as there is always a good harvest in Hanzhong and Xi'an, Zhu Yue will not be afraid of a shortage of food!

We can’t even get relief food, but it’s become a joke!

"Okay, I will inform Yang Hui right away!"

Qin Han saw that Zhu Yue was determined, so he accepted the order and left! It is definitely the most appropriate thing to let a meticulous person like Yang Hui go to provide disaster relief. He will definitely complete the order given by Zhu Yue without compromise. , and will do the best!

After all, disaster relief is a delicate job, and even a rough guy like Qin Han may not be able to figure it out.

At the same time, Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking.

"Something's wrong? In previous years, when I asked the old man for military expenses, I always gave him money happily. It was just a matter of giving more and giving less!"

"During this time, the old man made a lot of money from salt, so it stands to reason that he should not be short of money!"

Looking at the rejected memorial in his hand, King Yan Zhu Di's face was full of suspicion.

"Did His Highness act too obviously, making the old man suspicious?"

Yao Guangxiao, a monk in black clothes, was sitting nearby, drinking tea and reminding him casually.

"If this is really the case, I'm afraid I'm in trouble!"

Zhu Di's face suddenly became uncertain!

"Actually it's nothing. If you want to get money, there is a simple and effective way! Yao

Guangxiao laughed disapprovingly.

"Um? What bad ideas do you, a bad monk, have?"

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao's vow, and suddenly his heart moved.

The monk in black, whose religious name is Daoyan, and whose lay name is Yao Guangxiao, has known Zhu Di for many years. They are both teachers and friends, and they talk as casually as friends.

"Since His Highness is asking for money under the guise of going to the north, he naturally starts from the north!"

"Notify the Jurchens and Tatars and let them gather their troops and go south to Datong to cause trouble for a few days, and the money from the imperial court will naturally come!"

Yao Guangxiao directly stated his method.

"Is this... okay?"

"If they are really allowed to cause trouble, it will be the people on the border who will suffer!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but frowned with some hesitation.

He had asked the court for money again and again before, just using the excuse that military expenses were needed to resist foreign enemies.

More often, he just asked some tribesmen outside the Guan Dynasty to cooperate in performing two scenes. I'll have to deal with them less, and everyone can live in peace.

The court saw that it was indeed the case, and it was quite pleasant to give him money.

But this time, Yao Guangxiao actually let him do it!

But it's different!

Once the Tatars' iron hoofs really enter the Ming Dynasty, they will really see blood!

"Your Highness, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, and the principle of one general's success will cause thousands of bones to wither. Even if the old monk doesn't tell you, you should understand it!"

"Besides, the Tatars don’t dare to go too far, just tell them to stop at it!"

"If you don't do this, it will make the old man even more suspicious!"

"On the contrary, when the war broke out in Datong, any doubts and concerns disappeared!"

Yao Guangxiao stopped smiling and reminded with a serious face.

Zhu Di fell silent immediately and fell into deep thought while looking at the memorial in his hand.

A few days later.

Yingtianfu Palace

"Father, Jiang Yu has been imprisoned in Zhao Prison for more than ten days. It is not a problem to continue like this. When do you think he will be released?"

In the imperial study room, Zhu Biao said softly to Zhu Yuanzhang who was reviewing the memorial.

"Begging for mercy on his behalf? Zhu

Yuanzhang asked without raising his head.

"No, after all, he can't be blamed for this matter. You don't doubt that Jiang Yu can still be connected with Lao Jiu, right? Zhu

Biao said helplessly

"We just want him to have a long memory. Why are you anxious? Let’s talk about it for a few more days!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted disapprovingly.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he could only smile helplessly.

He originally wanted to wait for Jiang Yu to come out and inquire carefully about the current situation of Hanzhong Mansion, but it seemed that he could only continue to wait.

Just now At this time, Zhu Biao saw Wang Chen running over with Huang Feng's memorial in his hands.

Zhu Biao's heart moved and he took the memorial from Wang Chen's hand and read it carefully if it was not an urgent matter. , usually a memorial will not be presented alone!

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed something strange. He stared at Zhu Biao and asked.

Zhu Biao frowned and replied solemnly:"The news just reported from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Yueyang insect disaster, Xianning flood!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stood up and snatched the book from Zhu Biao's hand. The more he looked at it, the darker his face became!

"Another disaster! It’s the common people who are suffering!"

"Damn this... the total number of people affected by the disaster in the two places is 200,000, and this is based on rough statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice started to tremble a little.

Hundreds of thousands of people were affected by the disaster. This is no small matter!

However, before Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao could discuss any countermeasures, Wang Chen sent another memorial!

This Once, Zhu Yuanzhang moved faster than Zhu Biao!

But when he saw the contents of the memorial, his pupils suddenly shrank, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face! But this time, it was news from the Ministry of Finance!

But it was Hanzhong Mansion!

King Zhu Li of Han Dynasty sent 20,000 shi of grain to provide relief, and it was already on its way to Hunan and Hubei!

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sit still! You know, how could the Hanzhong Mansion have enough food?

There are hundreds of thousands of people!

Lao Jiu is really willing!

And even if Lao Jiu cultivates hundreds of acres of land in Hanzhong, it is impossible for him to produce so much food at once.

In other words, Lao Jiu has been secretly hoarding it for a long time! A lot of food! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Laojiu's first batch of disaster relief food was 20,000 dan, and there will be more next month!"

Zhu Biao also saw this envelope, and his face was full of shock.

"Something's wrong!"

"We just received the news, how could Lao Jiu react so quickly?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized a problem!

It would take five or six days for the news of Hanzhong's food relief to reach Yingtian Mansion at the earliest, and it would have to be done day and night by constantly changing horses!

"According to the Ministry of Household Affairs, this disaster has occurred for more than 20 days."

"Officials from all over the country report it, and it will take time on the way!"

Zhu Biao reminded helplessly.

The efficiency of the imperial court is really speechless.

"Even so, what does Lao Jiu mean? Tell us, did he wrap up the relief food for the victims?"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like he was slapped in the face!

Good guy, when the people of the Ming Dynasty were hit by the disaster, they reacted immediately, and the one who provided relief food was actually not the imperial court, but Zhu Yue, the king of Han Dynasty!

And Lao Jiu is so If he does it, according to the rules, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, has to record his merits and even give him a reward!

"Ninth Brother is also considerate. Father, after all, this is a good thing. The imperial court can also reduce some of its burden!"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's ugly face and hurriedly persuaded him.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.���After a breath, I calmed down!

Lao Jiu suddenly took action to provide disaster relief. This was an outcome he never expected!

Zhu Biao was right to remind you, this is indeed a good thing!

But there was always a feeling of panic in his heart!

And vaguely, he felt like something was wrong!

It wasn't until the morning of the next day when the ministers discussed the disaster in Hunan and Hubei again that Zhu Yuanzhang finally realized where the something wrong came from!

In the court, there was almost overwhelming praise for King Zhu Li of Han!

Especially the officials from the Ministry of Revenue, after knowing that they did not need to provide food, they even praised Zhu Li, the king of Han!

If this group of officials is like this, what about the people affected by the disaster?

Lao Jiu’s move is brilliant!

What he wants is fame!

However, this was still an honest conspiracy, so Zhu Yuanzhang could only stare blankly, and even considered what kind of reward he would give Lao Jiu under the advice of his ministers!

After the morning court, Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Biao directly to the Imperial Garden.

"Biao'er, what do you think about Lao Jiu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, and finally wanted to hear Zhu Biao's opinion.

He was really tired now

"Father, no matter how you say it, he is your biological brother and your biological son."

"Lao Jiu has come out to provide food relief at this critical moment. It is reasonable for you, who is an emperor and a father at the same time, to definitely be rewarded!"

"There is no way to seal it again, but you still have to reward it!"

Zhu Biao said slowly.

Zhu Yue is already the vassal king, and the titles are all gone, so how can he still grant them?

Moreover, Lao Jiu may not like ordinary rewards. If they are less, Zhu Yuanzhang will look too stingy!

Zhu Yuanzhang I'm even more tired!

Is this what we are asking?

Are you pretending to be confused?

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to make it clear, Wang Chen came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Qin Kui, Minister of War, wants to see you! Zhu

Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, but then he reacted:"Let him come over!""

I came to see him right after leaving court. Could it be that something happened again?

"Your Majesty, Datong is in an emergency!"

Qin Kui didn't say anything nonsense. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he knelt down and reported it.

"What?"

"Why is Datong in a hurry?"

The expressions of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao changed at the same time!

"Wu Liangha's 80,000-strong army rushed directly to Datong. They had gathered less than a hundred miles outside Datong a few days ago!"

Qin Kui said with a very ugly face.

"Where are the kings of Jin and Yan? What do they two do for food?"

"Are they just watching Wu Liangha's 80,000-strong army? Are you blind?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was even furious!

"Returning to your majesty, more than 10,000 people from the Oara tribe have restrained King Jin in Taiyuan, and there is news from King Yan. He hopes that the court can allocate military funds, saying that there is not enough food and grass! Qin

Kui quickly explained.

When he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang's nose almost became crooked!

"Listen! What's the point of this, you, the fourth brother, are still only asking me for money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao and asked angrily

"Father calmed down, perhaps because military expenses were tight. Is the fourth child really short of money?"

Zhu Biao was speechless. Who had he provoked?

But at this time, he could only try to let Zhu Yuanzhang calm down.

After all, people were attacking at the door of his house, so it was more important to deal with the foreign enemies!

"fart! Don’t we know how many intestines this kid Lao Si has? As soon as his ass kicks, we know what he's going to do!"

"This worthless thing is jealous of us and has made a lot of money selling salt. How can we know his little thoughts?"

"We are an emperor, not a rich man! Even if we are rich, if we die one day in the future, it won’t be his turn to divide the family property!"

"In the past, he used military expenses as a cover to ask for money from us, but now he dares to do this to us after the war! It’s a given that we have to give it even if we don’t give it, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard this!

The black line on Zhu Biao's head, did he speculate on his son like this?

He didn't know why the old man was so angry!

"Look at Lao Jiu!"

"The insect plague in Hunan and the flood in Xianning did not require the court's intervention. Lao Jiu took care of it all by himself, resettling refugees and releasing food for disaster relief!"

"How often did Lao Jiu cry with us about poverty?"

"Look at what the fourth child did."

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more angry as he talked, and unconsciously compared Zhu Yue and Zhu Di.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry was because he saw Zhu Di's ambition during the dream deduction!

Zhu Di wanted money and food, and Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively He became vigilant. After all, for what purpose, Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't tell now!

"You immediately summon the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies and wait for us in the main hall!"

"You also go and call everyone from the Sixth Department!"

After venting for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Biao and Qin Kui.

After the two left, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually calmed down.

Because of the dream deduction, he was now suspicious of both Lao Si and Lao Ninth. And be wary, but think about it carefully, although these two sons became emperors because of rebellion, they both behaved well afterwards! But it is undeniable that they are definitely good and diligent emperors!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang I couldn't help but open the system and ask if this was the case for all the emperors who rebelled against the old Zhu family?

【This is also the tradition of your old Zhu family! An emperor who succeeds in rebellion must be diligent in his government, in order to try his best to erase the stain of his rebellion and not leave an infamy to the world. Even if the world is not ashamed, he must at least be respected! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and nodded.

Indeed, isn't Tang Taizong Li Shimin an example?

After the rebellion is successful, rely on your own efforts and achievements to cover up your own stains!.
