Chapter Eighty-Six: A Strange Feeling
Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but give Zhu Qipai a thumbs up in their hearts, it was really high, indeed, when the family was ruined this year, everyone defected to Zhu Qipai, and because of Zhu Qipai's stealing of beams and changing pillars, they were able to escape smoothly, and in the subsequent revenge cause, Zhu Qipai also played a considerable role, summoning the Qin Wang Army,
No matter what the purpose, in short, Zhu Qipai helped Zhongzheng Yimai, and now that he has brought it up, everyone is not easy to question, and they have to take into account Zhu Jianwen's face and repay Zhu Qipai's life-saving grace, and he is very unhappy to shrink his hands and feet, but he is helpless,
The group walked into the main hall, and after showing Zhu Qijiao tea, Zhu Qizhu said faintly: "Do you know why I said this today?" ”
No one accosted him, Zhu Qipai said: "Then I want to ask you, nephew Lu Xian, now that Zhu Qiyu is terminally ill, what will happen to you if you die." Everyone looked at Lu Yunzhi, Lu Yunzhi frowned, sighed and said honestly: "I pre-recommend Zhu Qizhen to be reinstated." ”
"Then I'll ask you again why I raised troops to help you." Zhu Qipai said, everyone was silent, Zhu Qipai said with a smile: "In addition to your brotherhood with what you have seen and heard, to protect yourself from being cut down, I also fight for my own power, otherwise there is no need for me to rebel at the risk of killing my head." ”
Seeing that Zhu Qitian said so frankly, Qu Xiangtian's tone was no longer so blunt and said, "Then what do you mean." ”
"The king seems to be good, but in fact it is worthless, I think although I was just a vassal king, I responded to all the calls, and today's imperial court is no different from the king, but in view of Yu Qian's oppression in order to save his life, and has something to do with Zhongzheng, he was helpless to unveil it, and now Zhu Qiyu is seriously ill, and he has no heirs, and the ministers of the court and the central government have discussed the matter of establishing a prince, which is nothing more than two choices, let Zhu Qizhen be reinstated, or choose a vassal king to ascend the throne." Zhu Qijiao squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone,
Lu Yunzhi smiled slightly and said: "Because Yu Qian belongs to the faction that respects the prince of the domain, it is estimated that he also discussed with you, saying that when the time comes, you will be allowed to ascend the throne and sit in the palace to become the Ninety-Five, so you didn't do it today, right?" ”
Zhu Qijiao nodded: "Yes, it's not easy for me to remember that we haven't fallen into the well in our old relationship, but I can't help you, because the Tao is different." ”
"Can't you see that this is a discordant ploy." Fang Qingze said with a little disdain,
Zhu Qi stroked his beard and said smugly: "How can I not see Fang Xian's nephew, although it is a divisive plan, but I will go to the soup to go to it, this is the inevitable choice of every politician, don't argue, listen to my reasons, you have three cards in your hands, one is to set me up or see and hear as the emperor, so it is still the world of the Zhu family, the second is to set up the emperor Zhu Qizhen, who is a friend of Lu Xian's nephew, and the third is to establish himself as the king, but Yu Qian only has one card in his hand, that is, to make me the emperor, he can't stand on his own, We all know this, and the second is that he thinks that Zhu Qizhen will disturb the imperial court, and he deliberately got rid of Zhongzheng Yimai and Zhu Qizhen before, how can he return to the original point now, so it can be said that he only has one choice, to find a prince from the vassal king, and the vassal king of the world is my life, and there is no more suitable candidate besides me, so Yu Qian wooed me, hoping that I can occupy his side and become the 'unification king' in the real sense, the king of the world. The words were passionate and generous, and for a while there was a feeling of arrogance,
Lu Yunzhi sneered twice and said: "Then have you ever thought that there are still many people in the court who support Zhu Qizhen, of course, it may also include us, this is a lot of resistance, not to mention this, you can betray us for the throne, now it seems that all the vassal kings obey your orders, that is because you not only have your own strength but also the help of our Zhongzheng lineage in all aspects, just imagine, if you help Yu Qian to defeat us, who else will obey you and obey you, Besides, you can betray us for the position of Ninety-Five, and other vassal kings may also betray you for the same reason, it doesn't matter who is in power, the important thing is to have the support of powerful and heavy troops to sit firmly in the country, and even if you suppress us and all the vassal kings and weaken your strength, you are just a puppet emperor manipulated by Yu Qian, is this kind of emperor what you want. ”
Zhu Qi's brows twitched, but he didn't show a look of sudden realization or panic, it seems that he has also considered these questions, and it is also expected,
I only heard Lu Yunzhi say again: "I still call you uncle, now although you are the king and not the emperor, but you have much more power than the puppet emperor Zhu Qiyu, if Zhu Qizhen is allowed to ascend the throne and sit in the palace, Yu Qian will fall, we are equivalent to firmly controlling the Ming Dynasty and holding the power alone, and your power will rise even more at that time, and you will not cause the opposition of other ministers if you are in the background, on the contrary, if you are elected as the emperor, then there will be many problems, not to mention that other vassal kings are jealous and dissent, Even the ministers of the DPRK and China will be more dissatisfied, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of internal and external troubles, and it is inevitable that the swords and soldiers will meet each other, and the world can no longer fight wars, and the people will be bitter enough to toss anymore, so I think it is the best policy to support Zhu Qizhen's reinstatement, what do you say. ”
Zhu Qizhu stared at Lu Yunzhi, a little didn't know how to answer, and said after a little silence: "Although what you said has some truth, it is inevitable that you will not consider it comprehensively, which founding emperor has not been in war for many years, and overthrew the old dynasty to face the south and the north as the supreme in the world, they have been tossed for decades, how come you can't afford to toss when you come to me, I don't think you should think about this now, if you want to continue to get the support of me and my subordinate vassal kings, you must elect me as the prince, there is no choice, Otherwise, I don't have to continue to support you, it's better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the final result is in my favor no matter what, okay, I'm a little tired today, you guys and nephews think about it, think about it, give me a letter, and leave. ”
After speaking, Zhu Qijiao stood up and left quickly, Zhu was a little embarrassed, but saw Lu Yunzhi patted him on the shoulder and smiled and said softly: "Go with your father, we don't blame you." Zhu saw and hugged his fists at everyone, turned around and followed,
Fang Qingze frowned and said, "Just now you explained to him all the stakes, how can this old boy be stubborn, does he really want to stand on Yu Qian's side." ”
Yang Xiyu opened his mouth at this moment and said: "No, he naturally understands the reason, he is just showing his value by showing his value as soon as possible, and forcing you to make him the prince, if I am not mistaken, he will not stand on Yu Qian's side, he understands the truth of the cunning rabbit and the dog, but he can't say if he is really in a hurry, hey." ”
Everyone looked at each other with a wry smile, looking at Zhu Qi's distant figure and Zhu Jianwen's appearance of turning back from time to time, and suddenly felt that the intimate people around him were also a little strange.
