[The medicinal herbs collected from all over Shuntian Prefecture are getting fewer and fewer. Zhu Di asked his personal guards to investigate in secret. Zhang Yu participated in the entire process, but he discovered that the force that was rushing to buy the medicinal herbs was hidden very deeply. The people they found were likely to be the puppets of this hidden force.]
Because of these hidden forces, the price of the herbs in Shuntian Prefecture soared! There were even more hunters searching for medicinal herbs in the deep mountains and forests, making it much more difficult to purchase medicinal herbs in the wild.]
Not only Shuntian Prefecture, but the amount of medicinal herbs supplied to the government from all over the country has also been greatly reduced!]
[Zhang Yu heard that Emperor Zhu Biao had written a letter to Heavenly King Ying regarding this matter, hoping that Heavenly King Ying would preside over the investigation of the profiteers again. However, Heavenly King Ying did not respond, so Zhu Biao had to let the Deputy Commander of the Brocade Guard, Jiang He, investigate.]
[Zhang Yu thinks that this is just a rumor. No matter what, Heavenly King Ying is only a vassal king and can only be considered Zhu Biao's subject. Moreover, King Ying Tian's Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace. Why would Zhu Biao write a letter to ask Heavenly King Ying?] Just summon Heavenly King Ying to ask!]
[In Shuntian Prefecture, the price of medicinal herbs is getting more and more expensive. The King of Yan can only try his best to buy them. The deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Jiang He, has investigated this matter but has not found any results. The Northern Tartars are rising again and have repeatedly invaded the border.]
[Zhang Yu also heard that Zhu Biao suddenly placed Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu under house arrest. However, for some reason, an imperial edict to the King of Yan to go north was sent to Shuntian Prefecture.]
[Zhu Di received the decree to go north, Zhang Yu vowed to follow!]]
On the screen.
On the vast grassland, Zhu Di wielded his sword and rode on his horse. Zhang Yu followed closely with a spear in his hand. More than 100,000 Ming army banners fluttered behind them.
The drumbeats were like thunder!
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in relief.
Zhu Biao seemed to be the same as he had deduced in the past. He still did not put those dignitaries in an important position.
Moreover, if Zhu Di went to fight against the Tartars, he would definitely be a professional.
[The supplies in the rear are unusually abundant. The imperial court is constantly replenishing their troops. The morale of the Ming army is high. Zhang Yu followed Zhu Di to stay on the grasslands for four years. First, they defeated the Tartars. Then, they went all the way north and fought together with Wala and Wuliangha!] He broke it again!]
"Good!"
This time, the Ming army did not run out of food.
Zhu Yuanzhang watched as the Ming army led by Zhu Di chased after the barbarians on the grasslands like they were chasing pigs and sheep. He felt extremely happy!
His crown prince and his fourth son were both good!!
However, other than his crown prince and fourth son, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to support the long-lasting Northern Expedition on the grasslands was largely because Zhu Xu had seized tens of millions of taels of silver from the unscrupulous merchants in the country.
If not for Zhu Xu, this northern expedition would not have had such a result!
[Just as Zhang Yu and Zhu Di were about to arrive at the Wolf's Nest Mountain, he suddenly received an edict from Zhu Biao. He asked Zhu Di to immediately head to Ying Tian, saying that he would entrust the country to him!]
[Zhu Di didn't hesitate and immediately brought Zhang Yu and his trusted subordinates to the south!]
However, when Zhu Di arrived at the Ying Tian Mansion, he received a notice to go to the Ying Tian Mansion. Zhu Biao was waiting for Zhu Di in the mansion, while Zhang Yu had been guarding outside the mansion. He didn't know what Zhu Di and Zhu Biao said in the mansion. He only heard a sigh, then a laugh, and then a series of sobs.]
[When Zhu Di, whose face was covered in tears, walked out of King Yingtian's Mansion with the imperial edict, he was already dressed in white mourning clothes.]
[The emperor has passed away. The new emperor is only three years old. The King of Yan, Zhu Di, has been appointed as the assisting prince and holds the power alone! Zhang Yu was immediately conferred the title of Minister of War and was given the chance to comprehend the military plans of the entire country!]
[After Zhu Di took power and buried Zhu Biao, he suddenly announced the crimes of the various dignitaries and officials and then purged the court! Generals like Lan Yu and Fu Youde were all killed!]
On the screen.
Zhu Di sat in front of the dragon throne.
Zhu Yunxi, who was three years old, was rolling on the dragon throne.
Ma Sanbao stood beside Zhu Di, holding the imperial edict in his hand as he read out the name word by word.
Every time he read out a name, a person would be dragged out of the court.
Zhu Di's eyes were cold as he turned a deaf ear to the pleas of the officials.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he could not help but nod his head.
These people deserved to be killed.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself was waiting for Zhu Biao to leave.
[Zhu Biao made Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu kings at the border of Yunnan and sent his confidants to secretly monitor them.]
"Hmm?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
Zhu Di didn't kill Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu!
This surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.
[Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunhao were very restless after they arrived in Yunnan. They secretly colluded with foreign chieftains and intended to rebel. When the news reached Zhu Di, Zhu Di immediately sent the imperial sword to Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu took the sword and went to Yunnan. He mobilized 2,000 soldiers and captured Zhu Yunhao and Zhu Yunwen effortlessly!]]
In the picture, the travel-worn Zhang Yu read out the imperial edict in front of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu, and sent the two of them to the prison carriage and escorted them to Ying Tian.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little numb to this.
They had clearly been released, yet they were still messing around. They were still discovered when they were messing around. With so many tricks up their sleeves, these two brothers were really performing normally.
[Zhu Yunyu and Zhu Yunwen were escorted to the Imperial Clan Court. After being interrogated, the evidence was conclusive. Zhu Di killed them with poisoned wine.]
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes.
He suddenly thought that this might be Zhu Di's plan!
What kind of people were Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen?
Would they be able to behave themselves if they were conferred the title of kings in other places?
Zhu Di deliberately sent the two of them out of the city to wait for them to rebel and then catch them all in one fell swoop!
The reason why Zhu Di took such a big detour was probably because he was still afraid.
Judging from Zhu Di's current performance, he must have remembered what happened in the last deduction.
However, that deduction was a dream after all. Zhu Di was definitely not sure if Zhu Xu really had the ability in the dream.
And even if there was, Zhu Xu did not protect Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu in the last deduction!
In short, Zhu Di was probably testing Zhu Xu's reaction.
[After Zhu Di killed Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyan, he left the Ying Tian Mansion and stayed in the military camp for seven days before returning to the Ying Tian Mansion to continue handling government affairs and assist the new Emperor. Zhu Di, like Zhu Biao, kept purchasing medicinal herbs from all over the country to supply the Ying Tian Mansion.]
[Zhang Yu did his best to assist Zhu Di. After the officials and dignitaries were cleaned up, the Ming Dynasty's annual business tax increased sharply. Zhu Di began to send people to the West and built a grand ceremony. He also kept stockpiling military supplies at the northern border.]
[After eleven years of this, the Ming Dynasty was thriving. Zhu Di saw that the time was ripe, so he used the excuse that the new emperor was not capable enough to abolish Zhu Yunxi and put him under house arrest in the Cold Palace. He officially ascended the throne, changed the year name to Yongle, and granted amnesty to the world!]
In the picture, Zhu Di sat on the throne, and the ministers bowed and shouted long live.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Di didn't kill Zhu Biao's entire family this time, and even the previous emperor was only locked up in the Cold Palace. He knew that Zhu Di still cared about the brotherhood and didn't dislike Zhu Di's usurpation of the throne.
[In the first year of Yongle, Zhu Di conferred Zhu Gaoxu the title of Crown Prince and went to King Yingtian's Mansion. Zhang Yu, who accompanied him, was outside King Yingtian's Mansion. However, he heard Zhu Di using a polite tone that he had never used before to outsiders, asking King Ying to follow him north. King Ying did not respond. Zhu Di thought for three days and finally ordered the capital to move to Shuntian on the fourth day. He also granted the entire Yingtian City to Zhu Xu as a fief!]]
[Zhang Yu objected to this, but Zhu Di rejected it.]
After the capital was moved, Zhu Di handed over all the state affairs to Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and began the northern expedition!]
[Zhang Yu followed the army and accompanied Zhu Di in successive battles on the grasslands! Soon, Zhu Di returned to Wolf Store Mountain!!]
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also became excited.
Zhu Di was going to seal Wolf Juxu again!
Good son!
Beautifully done!
[After Zhu Di sealed Lang Juxu, he continued north. He wandered the grasslands for five years and defeated all the tribes before returning.]
[Then, Zhu Di rewarded a large number of his confidants according to their contributions. Zhang Yu was even granted the title of Duke of England, and his son Zhang Fu was also granted the title of Earl. They were both noble and extremely prominent!]
However, as his power grew, Zhang Yu gradually discovered that his family had more and more businesses. He followed Di Bei all year round. His son, Zhang Fu, was proficient in military affairs since he was young and disdained to do business. Most of the family's businesses were under the names of relatives or other children, but he could also take a large share every year.]
He felt that this was normal until he heard that many first-grade civil officials had ten times the assets of his family. He felt that there was something wrong with this. However, he was only a military general and did not want to think too much. He only wanted to assist the Emperor wholeheartedly.]
On the screen.
Zhang Yu's house was magnificent, tall, and majestic. There were pavilions, rockery, and ponds.
According to the system notification, Zhang Yu's assets were only one-tenth of those of the civil officials!
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he frowned.
