Chapter 230 Return to Datong Mansion

After resolving the mutiny, Zhu Gui sent another 200 people to repair the palace.

During this period, Zhu Jixi, the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, never left Zhu Gui's side, asking questions about the east and west.

From the beginning of the Shenwu Cannon, he continued to ask about Zhu Gui's personal guards, and finally asked about Yunzhou.

Before this, Zhu Jixi did not believe that Datong Prefecture could be compared with Taiyuan.

But he knew that Zhu Gui had been the vassal king for half a year.

At the same time, after seeing Zhu Gui's methods, he also had reason to believe that Datong Mansion was different from the past.

So in the end he actually came up with the idea of ​​going to Yunzhou with Zhu Gui.

In his words, 'Only after seeing how Uncle Wang governs Datong Mansion can he better assume the responsibility as King of Jin'.

Zhu Jixi's words successfully persuaded Zhu Gui. After all, after the former became the queen of Jin, he could not leave Taiyuan casually.

Moreover, after Zhu Jixi saw the situation in Datong Mansion, he would naturally recognize Zhu Gui's ideas more, which was also good for Zhu Gui.

After all, no matter how much you say, nothing is as good as seeing it with your own eyes.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, are you really prepared to let those rebels go? They have committed serious crimes."

Zhu Jixi suddenly asked about the rebels.

Zhu Gui sighed and said: "As Jiao Rui said, most of them were coerced. The real reason may indeed be related to military pay. If everyone can fill their stomachs, no one will be willing to rebel."

Zhu Jixi nodded vaguely, seeming to understand Zhu Gui's approach.

Zhu Gui was also a little depressed. He came to Taiyuan this time because he originally wanted to take over the guard of King Jin when he passed away to make up for the gap in his own guard.

However, the plan could not keep up with the change. He first decided to elect his son Zhu Jixi to take over as King of Jin. In this case, he could not take away these escorts.

Then these guards mutinied again. I don't know how many of King Jin's guards will be left after this incident.

Fortunately, Zhu Jixi was still young. Even if he succeeded in inheriting the throne of Jin King, the quota of the guard army would probably not be filled up like Zhu Gui had originally.

After all, with Datong Mansion in front, Taiyuan is not that dangerous.

Just like this, another two days passed, and the situation in Taiyuan City finally returned to calm.

However, the situation on the streets is no longer what it used to be. There are more than half the number of pedestrians, and everyone has a look of fear on their faces. It seems that they have not yet emerged from the shadow of the rebels.

Zhu Gui also decided to suppress the mutiny and not report it to the court, so as to avoid the need for the court to send people to investigate the matter.

Otherwise, I don’t know how many people will be implicated.

Taiyuan County Governor Liao Qinghai, Princess Jin and Crown Prince Zhu Jixi all agreed with Zhu Gui's approach.

But whether this matter can really be concealed forever and how long it can be concealed, everyone is a little worried.

Only Zhu Gui disagreed with this. Anyway, as long as Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and began to reduce the vassal vassal, this matter would be over.

The imperial edict he sent to the court only mentioned some chaos in Taiyuan, and took advantage of the situation to propose that the crown prince Zhu Jixi should take over as the king of Jin.

At the same time, although the power of the three major families has suffered some losses, their foundation has not been damaged. After this incident, the three families' respect for Zhu Gui has reached an unprecedented height, and they have donated half of their family property.

Zhu Gui did not refuse, but instead sent all the property to the Jin Palace.

This made Princess Xie of Jin couldn't help but look at Zhu Gui twice.

Zhu Gui also explained the reason, that is, the money was used to pay for the crown prince Zhu Jixi to succeed the Queen of Jin and to provide military pay for the guard army.

At the same time, he also reminded Zhu Jixi that there was no need to maintain the escort force to the full strength, as this would only increase the burden.

After the mutiny, Zhu Gui ruthlessly eliminated more than 5,000 rebels who participated in burning, killing and looting in the city. Adding some casualties, the existing Jin King's guard force only had more than 20,000 people.

Although it is one-third less than the full force of 30,000 people, it is still a very large scale, and the military pay for these people is provided by the Jin Palace, and the court will not spend a penny.

Even if Zhu Jixi succeeds to the throne of Jin, and the major forces in Taiyuan City are willing to cooperate with the Jin Palace as before, there is really no need to maintain such a large-scale guard force.

Zhu Jixi agreed wholeheartedly, but he could only submit a letter to the court about disarmament after he became the king of Jin.

After Zhu Gui finished handling this, he returned to Datong Prefecture with a thousand troops.

It's just that compared to when he came, he had three fewer personal guards, but he also had four more people accompanying him, naturally the three of them were Gongsun Ming. At the same time, the eldest son Zhu Jixi also came with him.

After a day, Zhu Gui finally returned to Datong Mansion.

But it was already night time.

Zhu Jixi was also tired and fell asleep on the carriage.

However, Zhu Gui still held a banquet for Gong, Sun and Ming at Dai Wangfu to welcome them.

The three of them were also very happy.

Early the next morning, Gong and Sun Ming left the palace and went wandering on the streets.

Zhu Gui didn't care about them. He still had many things to deal with.

But as soon as he came to the study, Zhu Jixi ran over and wanted to go out for a walk.

Fortunately, Xu Miaoqing came to the rescue in time and left with Zhu Jixi.

This gave Zhu Gui time to deal with political affairs.

Most of the things have been taken care of by Butler Wang and Liu Jing, he only needs to take a look.

However, there are still some urgent military situations that need Zhu Gui to deal with.

The first piece of information was from Hu Shidao, and it was sent back from Nanjing.

According to intelligence on the border, internal divisions have occurred in Beiyuan, and there have been many wars between the Waci and Tatar tribes.

This information made Zhu Gui fall into deep thought.

According to the historical process of later generations, the history of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was ended at the end of this year, and the empress of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also died.

However, because of Zhu Gui, although the Beiyuan Dynasty existed in name only, the empress and title of the Beiyuan Dynasty still existed, but now the territory of the Beiyuan Dynasty has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gui originally thought that he had made unprecedented changes in the course of history, but he did not expect that his thoughts were too simple.

Even without Ye Sudie'er, Mongolia would still inevitably be divided again. I'm afraid it would take a lot of time and energy for the Ming Dynasty to actually control the entire Northern Yuan territory.

Based on Zhu Gui's judgment of the current situation, the Ming court no longer has the energy, or perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang's time is running out.

After Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, the Ming Dynasty was about to be in chaos, and by then it would have no energy to take care of the Mongolian affairs.
