Chapter 157: Ambition

Zhu Fan looked at Zhu Di and said, "What can you do if you are not convinced, don't overestimate yourself too much." ”

Zhu Di laughed, the second brother is the best at pleasing the eldest brother, but he is also the most jealous of the eldest brother. But the second brother is a smart man in the end, and he knows very well what to do and what not to do.

Zhu Li continued: "You should have also heard that what my father found out to us was a real seal, that is, a fief. ”

Zhu Fan naturally knew that the elders of his fox friends were all executives, and there was no shortage of high-ranking officials in Zhongshu Province and the Sixth Ministry, and they had already heard the news that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to divide the kings and Gongwei Jingshi.

This is a good thing, to be able to go to the place to be chic, to be a real king of course is beautiful, already in the capital they have to salute their father and brother, the bigwigs in the court are not easy to offend, every day cautious.

Zhu Li said: "It's not that my father hasn't read the history books, and the rebellion of the Han and Jin dynasties is not far away, even if we are in the domain, we will definitely restrict it." ”

Zhu Di broke free from under his third brother's arm, what is there to hug on this hot day: "No matter how we are restricted, we are also the righteous prince of the Ming Dynasty, and anyone in the local area dares to take care of us, but I don't understand what the eldest brother said at the beginning." ”

Zhu Li put his hand behind him: "It can't be that after the eldest brother takes the throne, he will revoke the feudal kingdom and press us to raise us in the capital, right?" ”

The three of them were silent, they could endure this moment, but if Zhu Biao wanted to treat them as piglets and keep them in captivity in the capital for a lifetime, it would really be too much, they were also the princes of Tianhuang nobles, and they were also young men who had been on the battlefield and were eager to make contributions.

Zhu Fan said suddenly: "So what, just like you and I can't resist my father, the eldest brother is expected to take the throne, and the civil and military generals in the court are all vassals of the East Palace, and we don't even have anyone in the court to speak for them." ”

Zhu Di's face darkened, this is to point him, the second and third are not engaged yet, only he made a marriage contract with the third lady of Zhongshan Wangfu early, but the Xu family did not show any closeness to him.

If Xu Da's identity is special and it is difficult to talk to him, this is understandable, but Xu Yungong has no official position now, and no one who is close to him will find fault, but except for his fiancΓ©e, the rest of the Xu family is unwilling to say more to him.

This is clearly a statement to the eldest brother, the Xu family is only loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhu Di gritted his teeth and did not speak, there are too many unfair things in this world, which really makes the young man feel a little cold,

Zhu Fan regretted it after speaking, the three brothers have been mixed together for so many years, so naturally they still have a brotherhood, but they have suffered a lot of grievances today, so they don't choose to speak.

Zhu Li hurriedly played a round and said: "Fourth, you know that the second brother doesn't mean that, our third brother is all the way, no one should dislike anyone." ”

Zhu Di is a strong-willed person in the end, and he relaxed after listening to it, and he has been used to it for so many years.

Disappointment slowly accumulates and becomes bitter, hope is broken again and again, and when the disappointment is saved to the limit, people will be sober, and the princes have enjoyed glory and wealth since birth, so what they are looking for is not material enjoyment, but spiritual enjoyment.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's favor and courtiers' trust and the prince's approval, these are what they desire, they want to prove themselves, they don't want to be treated by their father as a stupid son who doesn't learn and can't learn, and the courtiers feel that it is troublesome for fear that they will be involved, and they don't want to be treated by their brother as a stupid brother with developed limbs.

However, all parties are suppressing them, including their mothers and concubines, and they are all asking them to grow up honestly, obediently think about your eldest brother, and when they grow up, they will obey the words of the court.

Zhu Di said calmly: "It's useless how we discuss, it's very face-saving for the eldest brother to tell us in advance, and when the time comes, the imperial court will edict it, what room do you and I have to refuse." ”

The other two really have nothing to say, they have not learned the ability to govern the place, but they have been to the war once, but it is just to follow the rise of knowledge, there is Xu Da Chang Yuchun in the court, and Li Wenzhong Lanyu in the middle, and Xu Yungong them later, it is a joke to raise troops to resist the imperial court to cut the domain.

So even if it is the prince, he still has to live by the kindness of his father and brother in this life, which is a sad thing. If they were just ordinary children, maybe no one would have to think so much about filling their stomachs, but they were also noble dragons.

But now this is the case, they used to be able to hope that as the eldest brother grows up and the father gets older, they will gradually begin to fear and suppress the eldest brother, so that they may not have no chance to turn over, after all, there are many such examples in history.

The crown prince is the biggest threat to the emperor when he is older, but they see with their own eyes that Zhu Biao's power is getting bigger and stronger day by day, and their father is not afraid of suppression, but is still adding fuel to the fire, and the prince's potential power has spread all over the government and the opposition.

To put it mildly, even if his father suddenly collapses now, as long as the eldest brother does not fall, then it is logical to succeed to the throne in front of the spirit, and the political situation of the Ming Dynasty will not have the slightest wave, because the ministers who control the power of the imperial court themselves still hold the official positions of the East Palace.

There is no need to purge the government and the opposition after the change of dynasty, what a terrifying power this is, even their princes feel the threat of the crown prince, but their father does not know what to think.

Zhu Li suddenly said: "Isn't Mo killing him?" ”

Zhu Di sneered: "If you hold it again, even if your father wants to replace the position of the crown prince, as long as the eldest brother does not rebel and disobey, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree with the father to shake the country." ”

Standing in line in politics is a very serious matter, the bigwigs in the DPRK were forced by Zhu Yuanzhang to go to the East Palace on the day of the founding of the country, these people usually do not have too much contact with Zhu Biao, but once Zhu Biao has a problem, they will definitely support it, and it will not be wrong to be loyal to their prince.

Zhu Fan sighed, squinting his eyes at the sun hanging high in the sky: "Big brother is like the sun, our brothers want to live by the sunshine and rain of our father and brother, and in the future, the matter of cutting the feudal domain will follow the eldest brother, and it will not cost our little life." ”

After a while, they went back to the palace, and half an hour later, Zhu Biao sat in the Wenhua Palace, looking at the note sent by the third child, which recorded the words of the three brothers of the Zhu family in detail............

Zhu Biao tore off the note casually, and then took a sip of mung bean soup, the princes were unwilling to be sure, if Zhu Biao sat in their place, he would definitely not be able to imagine that he could sit on the dragon chair, which was human nature.

Not to mention these three princes, even the beggars in the capital who ask for food will think that if Lao Tzu becomes the emperor one day, no matter how rich or poor they are, they are all coveting the dragon chair, but more people know that this is impossible, so they don't dare to show it.
