Chapter 220

Huaixi civil and military officials jointly decided to send Zhu Di to power. What kind of drama is this?

To control the situation of the government? To depose and establish the emperor?

Li Yunrui was a little confused, why did Huaixi Civil and Military Forces do this? Do they have such great ability?

In later generations, he watched many TV dramas about party struggles and political struggles, and read many analytical articles, but those were all analyzes by outsiders.

"Do you know why I accepted your suggestion and decided to make Zhu Gaochi the crown prince?" Li Jinglong stood up and stomped around the study.

"Isn't it because what I said makes sense?" Li Yunrui felt a little nervous at this time.

"That makes sense. As a father, do I have to listen to you?" Li Jinglong walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the dark night sky outside with a deep look.



This time it was Li Yunrui's turn to be confused.

From the time he traveled to the present, Li Yunrui has always viewed Li Jinglong from a God's perspective, thinking that Li Jinglong is just a fool who has no other advantages except being handsome, so he is always teaching Li Jinglong how to do things and has never discussed it with Li Jinglong. And Li Jinglong is like a puppet.

, cooperated with Li Yunrui fluently and never raised any objection.

Therefore, Li Yunrui formed a mindset in his mind that Li Jinglong was a tool man.

But today Li Jinglong kept asking questions, which made Li Yunrui feel like he was being pressed to the ground and rubbed, which made him very unhappy.

"Taizu established the Ming Dynasty because of my descendants from Huaixi. My Huaixi sect must have the right to speak in the court." Li Jinglong looked at the starry sky outside the window and said calmly.

Li Jinglong didn't mention the Li family, but the Huaixi sect, which made Li Yunrui very puzzled.

"When it comes to writing poems and compositions, and my promiscuous skills, I am not as good as you as a father, but when it comes to court experience and factional struggles, my son..." Li Jinglong turned around and looked at Li Yunrui sitting on the chair, smiled slightly and said, "You are too bad.

Far!"

"Please give me some advice, father!" Li Yunrui stood up and saluted Li Jinglong solemnly.

You have to admit when you are wrong, and you have to stand upright when you are beaten, as Liang Kun said in "Young and Dangerous".

The court is indeed Li Yunrui's weak link. He just takes it for granted and combines the historical context with the analysis articles of many experts and even bricklayers.

Li Yunrui himself also knows that the history in the pile of old papers is not trustworthy. The research conducted by experts and experts is more of speculation and even random fabrication. Using historical results to infer the process may seem reasonable, but in fact it may be thousands of miles off the mark.

"When the Ming Dynasty was founded, there were two forces in the court, one was the Huaixi faction headed by Li Shanchang, and the other was the Zhejiang faction headed by Liu Ji..." Li Jinglong stood in front of the window, with his hands on his chest, looking at the boundless moon.

color, and began to tell.

The Huaixi faction was Zhu Yuanzhang's closest confidants. They all followed him all the way from Fengyang when he raised his troops, and were Zhu Yuanzhang's base; while most of the Zhejiang faction defected and surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang's civilian power.

A group of people from the Huaixi faction held military power and had a strong influence on the government. They could be said to be a dominant family. Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that they had different intentions, so he spared no effort to support the eastern Zhejiang faction and compete with the Huaixi faction. As an emperor, checks and balances are the way to go.

It is the key to maintain the balance of power between the two factions in the court, let the two factions be incompatible with each other, and prevent one family from becoming dominant. This is the way to be a king. The Huaixi faction and the Zhejiang faction go back and forth, and they interact with each other in the court.

Attack and conquer, each will win or lose.

As time went on, new people continued to enter the court. Most of these people were scholars who had passed the imperial examination and were recommended. They had a natural affinity for the Zhejiang School, because most of the Zhejiang School was mainly civil servants. Gradually, the power of the Zhejiang School gradually increased.

Continuously expanding. The original opposition between the eastern Zhejiang faction and the Huaixi faction evolved into the opposition between the civil servant group and the Wuxun group.

"Taizu used the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case to massacre Huaixi generals, which greatly weakened the power of the Huaixi faction in the court. Most of the Huaixi generals had interactions with Li Shanchang and Lan Yu, which made everyone in the family feel in danger.

He began to live a low-key life. This situation continued until the death of Taizu, and the two forces of the Huaixi sect and the Zhedong sect were able to keep pace with each other in the court." Li Jinglong said this with a bad look on his face.

Li Yunrui understood this period of history. Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the Huaixi Group would not be able to lose the last one, so he killed the heroes, which was criticized in history. But he didn't know much about the struggle between the Huaixi Group and the Zhejiang Group. After listening to Li Jinglong's introduction,

There are roughly some clues.

"After the death of Taizu, the martial arts and civil servants in Huaixi finally heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that they would be rewarded after all the hardships. However, after the pseudo-emperor Jianwen came to power, he promoted civil servants from the eastern Zhejiang faction, which disappointed us old people in Huaixi." Li Jinglong

Sighed.

After Zhu Yunwen came to power, he immediately promoted Qitai, the minister of the Ministry of War, to minister of the Ministry of War, promoted Huang Zicheng, editor of the Hanlin Academy, to Taichang Qing, and called Fang Xiaoru, professor of Hanzhongfu, to be the minister of the Hanlin Academy.

Qi Tai was a man of some real ability. Zhu Yuanzhang liked him very much. His name was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his real name was Qi De. Before his death, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Qi Tai to be a minister of Gu Ming.

But these two people, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru, are complete bookworms. They boast that they have read a few books and regard the world's heroes as nothing.

When Emperor Jianwen was preparing to reduce the vassal state, Qi Tai believed that Zhu Di had a large number of soldiers, was good at strategy, and had great ambitions, so he advocated attacking Zhu Di, the king of Yan. However, Huang Zicheng persuaded Emperor Jianwen to attack Zhu Di, the king of Zhou, on the grounds that the king of Zhou had a history of lawlessness.

By doing this, you can defeat King Zhou and cut off the wings of King Yan.

Emperor Jianwen finally accepted Huang Zicheng's suggestion and sent Li Jinglong to Kaifeng to capture Zhou King Zhu Ji, demoted the Zhou King to a commoner and sent him to Yunnan.

"So, you and the King of Zhou have formed a feud?" Li Yunrui interjected after hearing this.

"As a father, I'm just following orders!" Li Jinglong didn't think he had done anything wrong and defended himself.

After hearing what Li Jinglong said, Li Yunrui nodded. It was indeed true, so he asked, "Zhu Yunwen has only promoted a few civil servants, so he won't disappoint the Huaixi Party, right?"

"Why not?" Li Jinglong sighed and said leisurely, "The process of Zhu Yunwen's rise to power has always been suspicious; after he ascended the throne, he did not want to appease people's hearts, but first promoted civil servants to bribe scholars..."

"Wait a minute, Dad, do you mean that Zhu Yunwen was not in the right position?" Li Yunrui interrupted Li Jinglong, a little confused. In his impression, after Zhu Di came to power, he once accused Zhu Yunwen of tampering with Taizu's imperial edict, but

Li Yunrui believed that Zhu Di framed Zhu Yunwen in order to clear himself of suspicion.

Today, Li Jinglong put forward the idea that Zhu Yunwen's position was unfair, which surprised Li Yunrui.

"Indeed, this was known to everyone back then." Li Jinglong leaned against the window lattice, turned to look at Li Yunrui and said, "The Taizu passed away and left a legacy. In addition to letting Zhu Yunwen ascend the throne, he also left a sentence: '
