Chapter three hundred and seventy-first great feudal hero
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng had discussed it, and all that was left was to find a suitable person and go to Guangzhou to persuade He Zhen.
"Who do you think, sir, can handle this matter?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "I thought that our people may not be familiar with the situation in Jiangxi, but there is one person who is very suitable."
Lao Zhu thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "Sir, you are not talking about Yu Gaomen, are you?"
Zhang Ximeng nodded quickly, "That's exactly the person!"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree immediately, but said: "Yu Gaomen suddenly stood up and stabbed Qian Tang. It was indeed a bit sudden. What kind of heart this person has, it is indeed necessary to test it. Sir, such an arrangement makes sense."
Zhang Ximeng smiled sarcastically, "It's always hard to believe that these large families, which have been inherited for thousands of years, have many means of survival."
Lao Zhu also agreed, and immediately asked someone to call Yu Gaomen over and tell him the matter.
"Are you willing to go to Guangzhou and persuade He Zhen to surrender?"
"willing!"
Yu Gaomen agreed without hesitation, "Please rest assured, superior, I will do my best to fulfill my mission."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "You can't do it alone. Let's let Zhou Dexing, Zhu Liangzu, and Lu Zhongheng each lead their cavalry and infantry to go south to Ganzhou and station troops in Meiling to intimidate Lingnan!"
Yu Gaomen was even more happy and immediately saluted, "My waist is getting harder!"
He said a few more words and was about to leave, but Zhang Ximeng stood up and sent him out. Yu Gaomen was very smart. He understood that Zhang Ximeng had something to say, so he stopped a few steps away from the door.
Bow and listen to instructions.
Zhang Ximeng said: "I heard that you have four brothers in your family. Among them, the eldest brother and the second brother have also served as officials of the Yuan Dynasty?"
"It's true. I once persuaded my brothers to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, but they kept saying that they didn't want to be second ministers. I'm willing to sever ties with them and make a clean break from now on!"
"No!"
Zhang Ximeng waved his hand, "No, we follow King Wu. As officials and people, we must adhere to principles and be flexible at the same time.
It would be wrong if you have to deny your relatives just because of the official uniform."
Yu Gaomen had a sullen face, wondering: "Prime Minister Zhang, I don't want to fall out with my family, but they are stubborn and stubborn. Even if I want to save my kindness, I can't..."
Zhang Ximeng took a breath, thought about it again, and sighed: "Under the general trend, some people do seek their own death, including close friends and relatives.
There is nothing we can do. But we must always try our best to make it clear."
Zhang Ximeng pulled Yu Gaomen and said, "Come with me."
He took Yu Gaomen to Zhang Ximeng's room.
There were several tables and chairs, a desk, and then a mountain of books. Zhang Ximeng asked Yu Gaomen to sit down, and then he turned around and went into the pile of books to start rummaging.
It was the first time that Yu Gaomen came to Zhang Ximeng's room. He was also very curious. He only dared to peek around and saw that this room was not spacious, but there were an outrageous amount of books, densely packed and piled up like a mountain.
However, it can be seen that it is clearly divided into two parts, one part has been divided into categories, and there is a brand new cover with text descriptions on it.
There are also a bunch of things that haven't been sorted out yet.
It turns out that these books were collected by Zhang Ximeng after he visited Bailudong Academy.
Everyone in the world knew that Prime Minister Zhang was incorruptible, and it would be useless to send him anything else, so he could only send these books, and they were not given to Zhang Ximeng. They were just asked to be read by Prime Minister Zhang, so that he could summarize them and send them to Jimin Academy again.
In this way, Zhang Ximeng was able to amass a large number of rare ancient books without having to go all out to steal books.
Maybe it's one of the few joys right now.
Zhang Ximeng rummaged for a while, finally took out a volume of books, put it on the table, and greeted Yu Gaomen happily.
"Look, whose book is this?"
Yu Gaomen hurriedly came over and took a look. On the cover was written "Jingyan Chunqiu Lecture Notes". Yu Gaomen was startled for a moment and then asked in surprise: "This belongs to my ancestor Yu Yonggong?"
Zhang Ximeng nodded. This volume of Jingyan Spring and Autumn Annals is indeed the work of Yu Yunwen... Looking at the civil servants of the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, Yu Yunwen, who defeated the many with less in the battle of Quishi, was still proficient in military affairs, both civil and military, and had the talent to save the day. If not
He, Zhao Liang, might have sent millions of troops to the West Lake and immediately climbed to the top of Mount Wu.
Zhang Ximeng dug out Yu Yunwen's works, then pondered for a while, then took out pen and ink and wrote eight words.
"How great is Duke Yu, a man of civil and military power!"
After Zhang Ximeng finished writing, he looked at it carefully and found that it was quite satisfactory. After practicing for so many years, he finally got out of the category of dog crawling and could barely read it.
"After Jingkang, the country fell and the country fell...The emperors of Zhao and Song were weak and incompetent. In military affairs there was Yue Pengju, and in literature there was Yu Yunwen... They all had the merit of preserving the country and helping China. Although they were weak, it was difficult to reverse it.
Heaven and earth. But the descendants of the future generations still did not give up, but moved forward along this road. Now our army has risen to sweep away the dust and restore China. I hope that you, the Yu family, can think clearly about what choice to make at this juncture. Don't
Don't bring shame to your ancestors, and don't leave a bad name."
As Zhang Ximeng spoke, his handwriting was dry. He wrapped Yu Yunwen's scroll with the eight words he wrote, and stuffed it into Yu Gaomen's arms.
"I'm on my way here as an envoy. When I pass by my house in Fuzhou, tell your brother what I want to say. I hope they will cooperate with you in equalizing the land and don't ruin the reputation of your ancestors!"
Yu Gaomen held the scroll and words in his hands, trembling slightly.
Tears welled up in the circles of his eyes, and he had no choice but to widen his eyes so as not to lose his composure.
"Prime Minister Zhang admires my ancestors so much that I really can't repay him by being a lower official."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "I just said something fair. The annals of history will have their own comments, don't you think so?"
"yes!"
Yu Gaomen puffed up his chest and said, "I, I'm leaving right now. No matter how ignorant those people are, I deserve to be killed even if they are killed!"
After saying that, Yu Gaomen left immediately, mounted his fast horse, and headed south overnight, returning to the Yu family.
"Look, this is the bandit and red thief you look down on. Compared with Ni Yuan, whom the eldest and second brothers serve, how is his magnanimity? How open-minded is he?"
The eldest brother Yu Anmin held the book and looked at the eight words again, frowning and lost in thought. The other brothers also looked solemn and shook their heads.
"He, what does he mean?"
"What else can I mean? I advise you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Don't do things that will bring about your own destruction and will be infamy for thousands of years!" Yu Gaomen said unceremoniously.
These brothers looked at each other, and the second brother Yu Yannian couldn't help but said: "Fifth brother, although the Zhu Jiajun is invincible and defeated the Han Dynasty king Chen Youliang, they do not respect the scholars and are too earthy. They may not be able to achieve great things. The same is true for us.
For long-term considerations, you cannot bet your money on one company.”
Before he finished speaking, Yu Gaomen suddenly stood up, faced each other and said mercilessly: "Second brother, you are really confused, and you still want to play the trick of the head and the mouse? Can't you see it as a prime minister?"
"Then, why did he still write this?" Yu Yannian asked confused.
"You are really stupid!" Yu Gaomen said unceremoniously: "If Prime Minister Zhang didn't see it, why would he take the initiative to mention family matters to me? But he saw it and didn't exclude me, nor did he treat you a few
I didn't start with anything, but I took the trouble to send you this calligraphy. Do you know what this calligraphy represents?"
Yu Gaomen looked at his eldest brother again and sneered: "With his current status as Prime Minister, if he writes these eight words, it is equivalent to closing the coffin of our ancestors. How big a face is this? The second brother dares to say that Zhu Jiajun
What a rustic? Yuan Tatzi is so smelly that if he were given to your petty official, wouldn’t you be treated like a bastard?"
In an instant, Yu Yan's face turned red and his eyes widened with anger. He almost wanted to beat this fifth brother to death. What you said was too damaging. How could you target the weak spot?
"Stop arguing."
Yu Anmin suddenly scolded: "I know about this, take out the list of land properties I prepared, and also find all the deeds of sale, land deeds, pawn tickets, and IOUs at home. Don't keep any of them!"
"
Yu Yannian was anxious, "Brother, you, you want to hand over all of this? This is our lifeblood!"
When Yu Gaomen saw that his second brother was still stubborn, he really wanted to come up and beat him up to make him sober up.
"You still regard those things as your lifeblood. I think they are almost life-saving talismans! Zhang Xiangren is extremely righteous, and I am also extremely benevolent and righteous.
If you continue to seek death, no one can save you!"
"Okay!" Yu Anmin stretched out his hand to stop Yu Gaomen, "Fifth brother, you are now responsible for the king's orders. Don't delay. Only by completing the errands can you show face to our parents. I know what to do with other things."
When Yu Gaomen saw what his eldest brother said, he didn't want to delay, so he said, "I hope that eldest brother will have an opinion and don't miss our family's thousand-year reputation!"
Yu Anmin took the lead with all his strength and watched his fifth brother leave. Then he ordered everyone to be summoned and immediately prepared to divide the families and property, and cooperate with the King of Wu's people to implement the equalization of land.
Yu Yannian was still unconvinced, so Yu Anmin didn't waste any time and asked for a divorce.
"Brother, do you still want to beat me? You, if you divide the family and divide the property, this family law will not be able to control me!"
"Haha, family law can't control you. When the time comes, be careful that national law is ruthless!"
Yu Yannian was suddenly startled and was speechless.
Later, Yu Anmin wrote a letter expressing his support for the equalization of land, and said that the matter of equalizing land should start from the Yu family. If there is any behavior of hiding land, he will be willing to accept the king's law!
With the Yu family taking the lead, the Jie family, Yang family, and Wu family, like Jie Wen'an, all wrote letters expressing similar attitudes.
"I'm afraid that the Yu family has always been interested in playing both sides of the coin. We look down upon such a wealthy family who think they are smart."
Lao Zhu angrily said: "If we were to do it, we would only force Yu Gaomen to divide the fields at home and let their brothers kill each other.
Let’s watch a joke!”
Zhang Ximeng was dumbfounded and lowered his head helplessly. "Actually, I also forced my family to express their stance. They are not allowed to act in both directions."
"But Mr.'s method is better. He lifts the weight with ease, just like an ancient famous official!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but praise: "The overall situation of Juntian in Jiangxi has been completely opened up! This is all the result of Mr."
Zhang Ximeng said hurriedly: "I'm just pushing the boat along, it's nothing. In fact, the lord can do very well without me."
Lao Zhu said with a smile: "If you let us do it, there will be a river of blood."
Zhang Ximeng said: "It is precisely because of the river of my lord's blood that I can follow the current. Otherwise, how could they take me seriously? In the final analysis, I am trying to grab the light from the sky, and I am just pretending to be a tiger."
Lao Zhu laughed, "Mr.'s flattery makes me feel comfortable. No matter what, this matter is all your fault. We, we should be honored as the hero."
"Sir can be the first person!"
Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a long time and was speechless in the end...
