If Zhu Si is intentionally or unintentionally transferring the relationship between Wang He and the two, it doesn't make sense, after all, there is no way to talk about it now. All the princes are young, not to mention that Zhu Si did not say that he would break the system of establishing heirs and growing up. After thinking about it, Wang Chuanshan and He Wenduan had already guessed that Zhu Si was paving the way for the upcoming royal expedition. Just now they were still together in the sea and the sky, but when they turned their heads, they all returned to the whirlpool of politics. Zhu Si's gaze seemed to be quietly swimming on the surface of the Qinhuai River, but Wang Chuanshan and He Wenduan's brains were spinning rapidly. This emperor of theirs, from a cursory glance, always speaks without boundaries, but once he gets serious, it is very difficult to deal with.

Ma Jinzhong looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and Wang Chuanshan and He Wenduan had already guessed Zhu Si's purpose. The emperor wants to drive the expedition again, should he stop it? He Wenduan's approach was to stop it, and he said to Zhu Si: "Long live, the two-capital system certainly has merits, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been like this for the past three hundred years. However, the emperor's conquest, the prince's imprisonment, and the separation of the two capitals have great drawbacks. First, it is impossible for the imperial court to fight every year, and the reckless and warlike soldiers will die; Second, if the prince is young, he is afraid that he will be taken advantage of by traitors. ”

A few people talked about big things, but the topic didn't seem to have anything to do with the event itself. Zhu Si was also worried about the prince's young age, so he threw out the topic tonight. Wang Chuanshan seemed to be unable to stop Zhu Si's imperial expedition at all. The reason is that with the development of the war, the Ming and Qing dynasties are more and more inclined to move towards a decisive battle, and this decisive battle is not a year and a half to end. With Zhu Si's character, it is impossible to stay out of the decisive battle of the dynasty. So before leaving, he was not only worried about the stability of the government, but also worried about who the throne of the Ming Dynasty belonged to once he had an accident on the battlefield.

The old cow licks the calf, the animal nature is still like this, and human nature is also selfish. This is Zhu Si's heart, but He Wenduan did not take this into account, after he concluded that Zhu Si had no intention of establishing a prince, he stopped Zhu Si's nonsense about the so-called prince supervising the country and living in the two capitals out of public intentions. However, He Wenduan's answer was exactly what Zhu Si wanted. As long as He Wenduan, who represents the second concubine Shuxian and the old non-Donglin party forces, does not fight with the queen, then if other forces want to break the sky, Zhu Si can kill the killer without mercy.

Wang Chuanshan doesn't need to confess, nothing at this time is worth a thousand words. Zhu Si was not worried about the enemy being strong, because the civil and military forces under his command were already strong enough for no one to beat. He only feared that his loved ones would fight among themselves for the right to the throne. So he understands Li Shimin's pain very well when he sees the princes fighting, and he also understands very well why he finally chose Li Zhi, who seems to be ordinary in all aspects, as the heir to the throne.

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, He Wenduan's words made Zhu Si temporarily put his mind at ease. And Ma Jinzhong, as a bystander, was also thinking: "If He Wenduan throws out an argument in favor or a compromise, what will Zhu Si think?" The princes are still so young, and he is already worried in his heart, so in the future, can he be like Taizu and cut off the branches and vines for Zhu Biao. "Ma Jinzhong's philosophy in the past was that he could offer advice and advice, but he should be wise and protect himself. After the friendship with Zhu Si was completely deepened, his philosophy of life became that he could die as a confidant, and he could block the gun for Zhu Si, but he definitely didn't want to be unjustly killed by his friends. So he will definitely not take a position on this matter.

"What He Qing said, I have written it down, and the blessings and misfortunes of future generations are difficult to change by one of my wills. Therefore, the matter of the emperor and the crown prince living in the two capitals should be put aside for a while. As for today's court, with the full support of the Qing family, even if I drive the personal expedition again, the queen mother can hang the curtain with peace of mind and no worries. Today, there are only three of you who are sitting here, and all three of you are my most trusted loyal ministers, so I still have a word to entrust the three of you. Once my life is suddenly suspended, then a hundred years later, the throne of the Ming Dynasty will be determined by the Queen Mother. This is understandable, I will say this to the three Qing families, I hope that the three Qing families will stand in the position of the Queen Mother at that time. ”

"Hooray!" The three of them immediately wanted to worship, Zhu Sixu helped, and the three of them bowed. Zhu Sikong smiled: "Okay, let's get up." I'm just talking about ifs, it's not so easy to die. But after all, the ownership of the throne of the Ming Dynasty is a big thing, and if I go to the battlefield without any explanation, I will always be at ease. Well, since this matter has been entrusted tonight, then the three of you will keep these words in mind and don't spread them again. The three of them said yes, got up and returned to their seats, and the scene was a little more sad than before.

Zhu Si's words just now seemed to be showing weakness, but in fact, there was a faint murderous intent, and he also showed his unbearability. If the old cow licks the calf and does not watch out for the tiger and wolf looking around, then it is the calf that will be killed in the end. Even if there is no murderous intent, it is reasonable to give a little warning to the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China before setting out on the expedition. With Zhu Si's ruthless methods against the enemy, even a hero like Dolgon didn't know how he failed until he died, and he wouldn't have no means to deal with the conspirators around him. The issue of competing for the crown is a red line in all dynasties, and even a great hero like Yue Fei finally folded on this matter.

When the emperor is not finalized, it is disastrous for the ministers to fight from the position of any prince. Fortunately, although He Wenduan's answer was straightforward, he only raised the concern that the prince was young and afraid of being taken advantage of by traitors, and nothing else. After some more painless conversations, the crowd dispersed.

Zhu Si and Ma Jinzhong walked east along Changfu Street together, just past the Kaiping Palace, Zhu Si said to Ma Jinzhong: "You probably don't know where your home is, the north of the road is the house I gave to Lao Gao, Kaiping Palace." He always wanted to be the second king of Kaiping, so I first satisfied him at the level of life and asked him to live in the house of the king of Kaiping, hehe. Ma Jinzhong also laughed. Zhu Si said again: "It's the first time you've returned to the capital, and before you come back, I have also arranged your mansion." ”

Ma Jinzhong said: "More long live the love of the lord, the minister has heard from the family, and the lord will give the Han palace to the minister." It is the largest palace in Nanjing, and it is said to be twice as large as the Mu Palace, which was given to Wang Chuanshan by the Lord of Long Live and the Ninghe Palace, which was given to He Wenduan. The family also said that there was a 'Xuyuan' in the house, which was named after Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty during the Yongle period. Zhu Si said disapprerovingly: "Between you and me, don't say anything thanks, it's just a house." It's just that for the future of the Ming Dynasty, you have been home all over the world, I'm afraid that the sunrise you are thinking about in your heart has not been seen yet, right? ”
