Chapter 093: Covert Operation
After all, these things are royal affairs, although there are rumors that have fallen into the people, but what they know is limited after all, Wang Bin and Zhao Tuiguan only know that during the period when Emperor Chengzu was patrolled, Zhu Gaoxi was left in the capital, and during the period again, the King of Han held an iron spoon and killed Xu Yedonkey, and everyone did not dare to say. Zhu Gaoxu also usurped the royal chariots and horses. Emperor Chengzu was very angry when he found out. In October of the 14th year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu returned to Nanjing, learned that Zhu Gaoxu had violated the law in dozens of cases, deeply reprimanded him, deprived him of his crown and clothes, imprisoned in Xihuamen, and prepared to cut off the throne and reduce him to a concubine, Zhu Gaochi remembered his brotherhood, wept bitterly, and asked Emperor Chengzu to let Zhu Gaoxu go, and Emperor Chengzu cut off his two guards, killed his accomplices, and migrated to Le'an Prefecture (now Huimin County, Shandong Province) in March of the 15th year of Yongle AD. At this time, when I heard Zhu Zhantan talk about the things of the year, I was also sorry.
"Hmph, this qiē is not a ghost made by those literati, especially that Xie Jin is the most hateful, if it weren't for him, King Han might have been my Ming Emperor a long time ago!" Zhao Tuiguan was a little uncontrollable and said angrily.
During the Northern Expedition of Ming Chengzu, Zhu Gaochi was in charge of the country as the crown prince, once he found that there was a water and famine all over the country, he immediately tried to help the victims, and severely criticized the officials at all levels who were slow to report, so that Zhu Gaochi had the impression of "benevolence and filial piety" in the hearts of the people, and was called "the son of benevolence and filial piety" by later generations. Ming Chengzu was even more unhappy, thinking that Zhu Gaochi was building prestige and had the intention of grabbing power, so he considered replacing Zhu Gaochu as the crown prince. During this period, Ming Chengzu sent a scroll painting to the cabinet, and asked the cabinet to read the university scholar Xie Jin's inscription poem, Xie Jin opened the scroll and saw that it was a scene of a big tiger and a young tiger together. Only father-son love, step by step. When Ming Chengzu saw the poem, he thought that Zhu Gaochi was his son after all, and his heart softened again, and Zhu Gaochu was not made the prince in the end. This matter is mostly spread among the people, and Zhao Tuiguan has also heard a lot, he is a military attaché, and he likes military generals more in his heart, and he never treats those literati, so he can't help but scold at this time.
Zhu Zhantan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he is also the emperor's grandson, his cousin Zhu Zhanji seems to be destined to be extraordinary, and he was loved by the emperor's grandfather when he was born. Although others don't know about this matter, Zhu Zhantan knows it, he doesn't want to say anything more about this matter at the moment, he has more important things to do, and this thing is done, whether it is good or not, it will be useless.
After coughing lightly, he said: "My father has sent someone to the capital to have a lot of contact with the old army in the past, that is, the emperor's palace also has my father's eyeliner, some time ago, my father sent a message that the emperor had just ascended the throne, and he couldn't wait to pamper the harem. “
Today's Shengxi is quietly tired, obese, and incapacitated, and always needs to be supported by two chamberlains to act, and he always stumbles, this is no secret, Wang Bin and others know that such a body is not cherished, what does it mean, the people here, except for Yang Yifeng, who knows nothing about officialdom, does not understand, the other four people know each other, and their eyes show joy.
"The little prince is saying that the emperor has-?" Wang Bin said softly, the joy in his tone was revealed, although it was expected to be this result, but he didn't dare to say the disrespectful words of death.
Zhao Tuiguan, Liu Qing, and Yang Yifeng all looked at Zhu Zhantan with joyful expressions, their eyes full of expectation.
Zhu Zhantan said "um" from his nose, and did not directly give a positive answer, but diverted the topic and said: "Five years ago, Xiao Wang left Le'an on the order of his father, secretly infiltrated the city of Hangzhou, and spent many years of time, using his father's connections, financial resources, and material resources to reluctantly open up the situation in Hangzhou, and its purpose was to take the opportunity to occupy Hangzhou, so as to be the food and salary of his father's army. Assist the Yang family to become the president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, control the business of Hangzhou, according to the prosperity of Hangzhou, it will definitely be able to meet the silver taels needed by the cavalry of the father, and when the emperor is seriously ill, the father can start the next step. ”
The four of them were relieved, although the Han King Zhu Gaoxu wanted to rebel, everyone knows, but after all, it is just a legend, it can't be true, such words are not believed by the current emperor, no, just some time ago, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, increased the Han King's Yulu, and awarded him several sons titles, the emperor didn't believe it, how could they believe it, but now they believe it, because these words came out of the mouth of the son of the Han King, how not to believe it.
