"Lord Huang, let's talk about it."

Huang Zicheng's tightly knit brow when Qi Tai spoke attracted Zhu Yunwen, and he hoped that Huang Zicheng could stand by his side.

"I don't think it's appropriate to let go." Huang Zicheng swallowed his saliva, it was not an easy task to fight against Qi Tai.

In the past few months of auxiliary government, Qi Tai has gradually occupied a core position.

"Keeping the three princes in the palace as hostages has the advantage of containing King Yan as Lord Qi said. However, the disadvantages of this are even worse. ”

"Lord Huang, what's the harm?" Qi Tai's nose spewed out a hot breath, it was his fire.

What kind of people is he working with? Is such an obvious question still to be debated?

"King Yan's thoughts, no one knows now. Will he go to war with the imperial court, or will he accept the disposition of the imperial court like the first five feudal kings......"

Huang Zicheng's words ignited Qi Tai.

"How could King Yan accept the disposition of the imperial court? What did you say a few months ago, King Yan is cunning, you must be on guard! ”

"Lord Qi, don't worry! The emperor is asking the lower officials, and the lower officials always have the right to finish speaking! ”

Huang Zicheng raised his voice: "The imperial court sent Zhang Yu, Xie Gui, and Zhang Xin to Beiping, but they have not sent back the news that King Yan is plotting. Prevention is to be prevented, but it is also not necessary to create something out of nothing! Regardless of whether King Yan is already plotting or not, if we don't let go of the three princes, then it is equivalent to granting authority to King Yan. If he wanted to rebel, he would say that it was the court that forced him to rebel, and there was a reason for it. If he didn't want to rebel in the first place, and the court treated him like this, he had no choice but to rebel. This is one of them. Second, if we let go of King Yan's son, King Yan will think that the court does not want to deal with him. Then he will definitely let his guard down. At that time, the imperial court can take advantage of its unpreparedness and take down King Yan! ”

"Lord Huang is right. The emperor and Weichen also thought that the three princes should be released. ”

Fang Xiaoru was not in a hurry or impatient, he nodded slightly at Qi Tai, indicating that he didn't mean to go against him, just talking about things.

"What? Lord Fang! You also said that you were going to release three princes? ”

Qi Tai did not have the account of the buyer's filial piety, and he felt tormented by fighting alone.

"Yes. The kings of Zhou, Qi, Dai, Xiang, and Min were all stripped of their thrones in a short period of time, and there were already complaints inside and outside the court. The emperor and the ministers were initially worried that the feudal domain would be cut too quickly and shake the society. Now that the evil results have been revealed, some ministers will ask the emperor to release the three sons of King Yan to stabilize the overall situation. If the court still insists on going its own way at this juncture, the minister is afraid that ......"

Mei Yin quickly took over the baton: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Huang and Lord Fang are reasonable. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has drastically reformed the maladministration of Taizu. leniency and imprisonment, tax reduction in Jiangnan, restriction of the right to tax exemption of monks' land, and return of land to the people; redundant staff reduction, provinces and counties merge; The introduction of the "Guarantee Law" is meritocracy, and recommendation is responsible. In the end, these reforms are all aimed at winning the hearts and minds of the people. ”

Mei Yin turned to Qi Tai: "If Lord Qi wants the emperor to take his uncle's son as a hostage, then how will the people of the world talk about the emperor?" They will laugh at the emperor! The two armies fought each other on the battlefield, and it was still unbearable to take a powerless person as a hostage, let alone the emperor? How can an emperor who is ridiculed by the people win the hearts of the people? All the efforts of the emperor to reform the system will come to naught because of this move! ”

"Pony!" Qi Tai was furious, and his caution was completely withered under the alternating attacks of the three men.

He felt that his eyebrows were on fire, and he felt that Zhu Di had already killed the palace gate with his soldiers on horseback.

"Lord Qi, what's so terrible about letting go of King Yan's son? Didn't Lord Huang already say it just now? This can paralyze King Yan. The imperial court has already sent people to monitor King Yan's every move inside and outside the palace. If he doesn't want to fight, that's for the best; If he wants to raise troops, then the imperial court can take advantage of the three princes to return to Beiping and King Yan to attack him when he is unprepared. ”

Mei Yin knelt on the ground and bowed: "Please let the emperor release the three princes!" ”

Qi Tai "knock knock" kowtowed three times. One of his mouths may not be able to defeat three, but he must not lose in action.

"Your Majesty, the three adults are too naïve to think about it. As a soldier, if you lose the weapon in your hand, how can you defeat the enemy? There is an ancient saying: The way of the first king is yin. The system lies in concealment and concealment, not only loyalty, faith, benevolence, and righteousness, but also righteousness. The minister knows that the emperor has difficulties, but he must not be loyal and benevolent and lose the right path! ”

"Qi Shangshu and the donkey, please get up, you all have your own reasoning, let me think about it again."

Zhu Yunwen has actually made a decision, he plans to let the three princes return to Beiping after a while.

Avoiding such a tense moment as now can not only give Qi Tai a chance to change his mind, but also take care of Qi Tai's face.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Qi Tai did not return to his home, and went directly to Kunning Palace.

He knew that he had not persuaded the emperor and that he had to find another way.

The other three ministers stood against him, and he had to find another teammate to help him stop the three princes from leaving the palace.

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen's queen Ma, named Enhui, is the daughter of Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan.

Qi Tai and Ma Quan are good friends, and the two families often have contacts. As a child, Ma used to play in the Qitai Mansion.

Ma is knowledgeable, smart but not competitive, well-behaved but cute. Qi Tai loves Ma very much, and Ma also has great respect for Qi Tai.

The marriage between the Ma family and Zhu Yunwen has a great relationship with Qi Tai, otherwise how could Ma Quan, who has a five-rank official rank, have such a long grace and be able to become a relative of the emperor, and climb up to Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen?

Zhu Yuanzhang trusted Qi Tai in his later years, and mentioned Zhu Yunwen's marriage match to him, and Qi Tai recommended Ma's.

Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Ma had a good character, and his surname happened to be Ma, and he had the same surname as his queen, so his favor doubled, and he decided to summon Ma into the palace.

The intelligent and elegant Ma showed her extraordinary intelligence, magnanimity and gentleness in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and immediately ordered the marriage of Ma and Zhu Yunwen. The following year, Ma was canonized as the imperial concubine.

After Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, Ma was canonized as the queen. The two of them were harmonious and respectful of each other.

After Qi Tai lost the supporters around him, the first thing he thought of was Ma.

The power of a woman may be greater than that of a man, and the power of a harem may be greater than that of a courtier.

He was anxious, but hopeful. He hasn't thought of a specific way yet, but he believes that he must change Daming's doom with the woman Zhu Yunwen loves the most!

There is no change in Kunning Palace from when Queen Ma was in the past, simple and quiet, without too many extravagant furnishings and not too many luxurious decorations.

The only difference is that there is more youthful vigor here.
