Chapter 1494: Holding firewood to put out the fire
On the way back, Zhu Yuanzhang had a gloomy face, and everyone around him didn''t say a word, obviously not in a good mood.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, hesitated for a while and said, "Lord, Dian Wei should have been just testing. Even if the Overlord Cavalry did not put down his weapons, he would definitely not dare to do anything randomly."
"So? Let''s continue to hold on, and then let the people hiding behind him continue to use secret tricks to deal with us?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.
Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this. He always thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had not awakened and had not noticed his dangerous situation, but when he heard this, he realized that he was very wrong.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very clear-headed, but the situation in the Ming court has changed too quickly, which makes it difficult for him to accept the reality, but it does not mean that he is not clear about the crisis.
"Lord, what do you mean?" Zhu Yunwen asked with some uncertainty.
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said coldly: "In the matter of Qin and Ming marriage, some people in the court wanted to force me to express their opinions, and the Overlord Cavalry was my only force on the Ming court, so they wanted to remove the Overlord Cavalry''s armed forces to force me to stand on this matter.
Therefore, even if the Overlord Cavalry does not put down its weapons, the people behind it will still use other means, and they will definitely be more unpredictable at that time. Therefore, it is better to let the Overlord Cavalry put down its weapons first, so that these people can let them put down their guard first. ”
Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized, "So that''s it."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Yunwen on the shoulder: "You are still too young. You must know that not everything can be done. Besides, this is a good place. The temporary capital of the Ming Dynasty. What can only be considered by three thousand overlords here?"
"The lord has a far-sighted vision, but his subordinates are far from enough."
Although Zhu Yunwen said this, he couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang still didn''t realize that the "some people" he mentioned were actually the Ming Emperor he trusted the most.
However, since Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought of this, he was obviously shaking his heart. It was just that the habitual trust he had maintained for a long time made him subconsciously unwilling to doubt Emperor Ming.
"Lord, for the sake of lord''s safety, I suggest that lord return to Xuzhou first."
Zhu Yunwen said tentatively, but the result was not as expected. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head decisively, without even thinking much, and said directly: "You can''t leave. If I leave now, Qin Ming''s marriage will be a foregone conclusion. The Ming Dynasty will definitely split by then."
"But this matter is not only the civil and military officials of the court, but even His Majesty has agreed. What''s the use of lord, even if you stay, lord?"
Hearing Zhu Yunwen say this, Zhu Yuanzhang''s eyes were full of struggle, but he said firmly in a flash: "I''ll go see Your Majesty now. If I don''t hear Your Majesty say it in person, I will never believe it is true."
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was very anxious. Isn’t this asking for death when he went to see Emperor Ming at this time?
"Master, you can''t go..."
Before he finished speaking, a guard came to report: "Report to the lord, the military advisor activated the spy and sent emergency secrets of eight hundred miles."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Come on it quickly."
"No."
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly took the letter, but his face suddenly changed when he saw the content in the letter.
Fan Zeng wrote everything he analyzed in the letter and bluntly stated that he had cooperated with Qin Hao long before Zhang Jiao fell, so Qin Hao let Zhang Liang and the other four return to the Ming Dynasty. This time, Qin Ming''s marriage was the benefit Zhang Jiao promised to Qin Hao. After reading Fan Zeng''s letter, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became enlightened, and many confusions in his heart were resolved. After all, besides the late Zhang Jiao, who else could let Emperor Ming marry his enemy?
"Master, Master, since you have entrusted your hope to your disciple, why can''t you fully trust your disciple and leave a backup plan for Qin Hao?" Zhu Yuanzhang said sadly.
Master Zhang Jiao was the person Zhu Yuanzhang respected the most. He always thought that Zhang Jiao absolutely trusted him, so he entrusted Emperor Ming and the Ming Dynasty to himself, but the facts were obviously not.
Zhang Jiao also bets on both ends. He chose two successors at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Hao. The competition between the two was also fair.
In the war in the Central Plains, if Zhu Yuanzhang could defeat the Han Dynasty and preserve the Ming Dynasty''s power in the Central Plains, the agreement with Qin Hao would naturally be invalidated. He would be the one who married and became the Emperor of Ming. On the contrary, if it failed, all of them would be fulfilled.
In short, no matter what the process is, the person who wins in the end is Zhang Jiao’s true successor.
It was not until this moment that Zhu Yuanzhang recognized Zhang Jiao''s true face. He was so cunning.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang would not hate Zhang Jiao for this. After all, this old man was planning for the Ming Dynasty before his death and had won a chance for the Ming Dynasty. It was only because of his incompetence that he would start his master''s final move.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not want to fulfill Qin Hao and let Qin Hao unify the world because he had his own ambitions, so even if Zhang Jiao Fusheng stood in front of him and persuaded him, he would never give up his ambitions and lover to fulfill others.
"Master, my disciple will never hand over the Ming Dynasty to outsiders."
Zhu Yuanzhang''s eyes were full of firmness, and he handed the letter to Zhu Yunwen and said, "Let the secretaries immediately investigate who are the Qin faction in the Ming court, and they must find out in the shortest time."
"yes."
Although Zhu Yunwen was a little confused, he nodded and agreed.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and headed towards the palace. He also knew that this trip would definitely be a life-and-death death, but he had a reason to have to go.
Although Fan Zeng inferred from a small piece of information that the source of the incident was Zhang Jiao, there are still many unsolved mysteries. The biggest question in Zhu Yuanzhang''s mind was what is the relationship between Emperor Ming and Qin Hao?
Zhang Jiao has been dead for many years. Although the plan he set up when he was alive also had a certain impact on Emperor Ming, in terms of binding force, it would never be as great as to sacrifice himself. So why was Emperor Ming willing to follow Zhang Jiao''s arrangement?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn''t know these secrets, so he had to question Emperor Ming himself to find out.
Although this entry into the palace seemed very dangerous, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was a surprise. After all, if he was killed, the Ming Dynasty would be divided immediately, and his subordinates would support his son Zhu Di and completely break with the Ming court. The only one who united with Qin would be the Ming army in Jizhou.
So, at least before the military power was taken back, Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was still safe.
I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang took it for granted, but he was still very brave in holding firewood to put out the fire, but in the end, the fire might not be saved, but instead he would be burned by the fire.
