Sheng Yong was a little nervous.

This is not the war room just now, but the Xinuan Pavilion.

The emperor stood by the window, leaving him with only his back.

Sheng Yong knelt on the ground: "Weichen Sheng Yong see Your Majesty!" ”

There was no answer.

Sheng Yong was puzzled, but he didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to wait silently.

Long.

"Duke Liguo, are you dissatisfied with the crown prince?"

Yes!

"Nope! No! Absolutely nothing! ”

A chill spread from the spine in his back, quickly spreading to the whole body, cold sweat seeped out from his forehead, and soon it would converge into a stream and flow down, but Sheng Yong knew that he could not have the slightest hesitation at this moment, he trembled and crawled on the ground, and said astringently: "Your Majesty, I ...... Small...... End..... The last will not dare! ”

"Don't dare?"

"That said, it's not like it's nothing?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, the last general is wrong, is it not, the crown prince is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the last general only knows how to be loyal wholeheartedly, and has no other thoughts, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yunwen turned around, bypassed Sheng Yong, walked to the desk, sat down, supported the table with his hand, and gently tapped his index finger on the table.

"Sheng Yong, I heard that you did not fulfill your duties as a guest of the crown prince, and rarely went to the Zhan Mansion to explain military affairs to the prince, but is there such a thing?"

"This,"

Sheng Yong knelt down and turned around, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "That's true, the last general will be guilty!" ”

"Why?"

Listening to the emperor's implicit angry voice, Sheng Yong struck a stir, but he still hesitated for a while before saying: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't appreciate the explanation of the last general, he prefers to listen to Lord Fang's explanation!" ”

"Lord Fang? You mean Fang Xiaoru? ”

"Yes!"

"He understands that, too?"

"I understand a lot,"

Sheng Yong lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Although the last general has read some books, he is far from Mr. Fang, at the beginning, he just listened, and occasionally interjected to say a few words, but slowly, he talked more and more, and then it became his main lecture, and the last general cooperated!" ”

"And this kind of thing?"

"Yes, Mr. Fang talked about the military books and war examples, much more vividly than the last general, he quoted from the side, quoted scriptures, the language was vivid, sonorous and powerful, and the writing was flying——"

"Enough!"

Zhu Yunwen slapped the table angrily, took a few breaths, raised his hand and pointed at Sheng Yong and said, "It seems that you are ashamed of yourself?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty,"

Sheng Yong was silent for a while, and finally raised his head: "The last general feels that what Mr. Fang said is too idealistic, most of them are rigid and far-fetched, but the last general can't argue with him, in addition,"

Speaking of this, Sheng Yong lowered his head and said in a low voice: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided, the last general will not dare to disobey!" ”

Looking at Sheng Yong's dejected appearance, Zhu Yunwen was a little angry, grabbed a book on the table and threw it over: "Then why didn't you report it?" Let the prince do nothing? ”

"The end ...... The last general, guilty! ”

Sheng Yong didn't dare to dodge, and he didn't defend himself.

Liu Zhen next to him was also frightened, he rarely saw the emperor so angry, he hesitated, took the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, moisten your throat!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Yunwen took the teacup and drank it all.

"Then do you think that the prince can understand military affairs through Fang Xiaoru?"

"I'm afraid not?"

"So how do you resolve this matter?"

"There will be an idea at the end, please look at it Your Majesty."

Sheng Yong took out a fold from his sleeve and held it with both hands, Liu Zhen hurriedly took it and handed it to Zhu Yunwen.

"It seems that this Sheng Yong has been prepared for a long time!"

Looking at the somewhat shabby cover, Zhu Yunwen said secretly.

In fact, he can understand Sheng Yong's difficulties, the prince is the future emperor, and he is the current emperor, there is a conflict between the two, Sheng Yong is very embarrassed, and Sheng Yong is not the kind of person who makes a strong admonition for the country and the people, so he will keep dragging it out, until today, although he has thought of a way, but he has never dared to take it out.

Of course, although Zhu Yunwen can understand, he is also very angry, at least, this Sheng Yong is not suitable for teaching the prince and needs to be replaced.

After reading the twists and turns, Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sheng Yong, what you think, I thought I could try it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"In this way,"

Zhu Yunwen tapped lightly on the table, and said thoughtfully: "I'll leave this matter to you, you go to Fu Zhong and Qi Tai and ask them to assist you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Sheng Yong nodded, paused, and said, "Then only four people are enough?" ”

“...... Tentatively ten people, by the way, the military rank should not be too high, and not too low, the school officer will do. ”

"So, what about the establishment of these people?"

"Hang it under the brocade guard first, and call it the guard military attaché!"

"By the way, Liu Zhen, you go and call Liu Tie and Wan Zicheng over!"

"Yes!"

......

When Liu Tie and Wan Zicheng rushed over, Sheng Yong was still kneeling on the ground, Zhu Yunwen was watching with a fold, and Xie Jin, Huang Huai and others were standing beside him for consultation.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Get up, Liguo Gong, you should get up too!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Here's the thing......"

Zhu Yunwen briefly explained the matter, and then said: "Liu Tie, the military attache office is hanging under the Jinyi Guard, you have to strengthen management; Wan Zicheng, the background of the personnel of the Military Attache Department, you have to investigate clearly, there can be no flaws within three generations, you must be innocent, and you would rather lack than abuse, do you understand? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

......

"Zicheng, you stay for a while!"

Wan Zicheng, who was about to retreat, was stopped by Zhu Yunwen and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”

"All of you go down!"

Xie Jin, Huang Huai and others retreated, and only Liu Zhen, Wan Zicheng and Zhu Yunwen were left in the room.

"Zicheng, have you seen the twists and turns of King Xiang?"

"Look!"

"What do you think?"

Wan Zicheng pursed his lips unconsciously, then raised his head and said in a deep voice: "What His Royal Highness the King of Xiang said about the White Lotus Sect is likely to be true. ”

"Now that the White Lotus Sect is at the end of their rope, in order to survive, they will inevitably stir up trouble and divert the attention of the imperial court, and the most likely way is to provoke a dispute between the royal family."

"Among the sons of the first emperor, the king of Qin, the king of Jin, the death of Tan, the king of Zhao, and the king of Lu died early, the king of Yan conspired against him, the king of Zhou and the king of Chu were deposed, the king of Qi moved to Quanzhou, Korea, and the king of Shu served as the Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, and then the king of Xiang was counted."

"In his early years, the King of Xiang was eager to learn, read until midnight, opened the Jingyuan Pavilion, and recruited wise men and talents, including many outlaws and lawbreakers, and the magistrates could not ban it. In addition, the king of Hunan likes to talk about soldiers, has excellent strength, is good at bows and arrows, and gallops if he flies, which is a rare general. ”

"In the last years of Hongwu, the king of Xiang suddenly changed his temperament, and he called himself Zixuzi, and Jingyuan Pavilion was also renamed Zixu Pavilion, specializing in recruiting Taoist priests; Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the king of Xiang has been relatively peaceful and self-contained, and only in the first year of Jianwen was reprimanded for privately making silver tickets, and there is no bad deed. ”

"In addition, Jingzhou is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the hinterland of the Jianghan Plain, since ancient times, it has been a place where soldiers have been used, and the Chu State has built its capital here during the Warring States Period, which lasted for more than 400 years, and it is the place where the king is fond."

"And Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, once there is a change, down the river, the Beijing division is in danger!"

"So I beg your majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."

Liu Zhen, who was next to him, heard this, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Wan Zicheng, and was a little surprised in his heart, but did not show it.

And Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly: "Zicheng, it seems that you have done a lot of homework!" ”

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, this is the duty of the last general."

The meaning of Wan Zicheng's words is obvious, that is, to arrest the king of Xiang immediately, otherwise it is easy to make trouble, but the reason is too far-fetched, does he have any purpose?

Hubei Dusi is now Tan Yuan, who once participated in the arrest of the family of King Chu, and there is no problem with his ability and loyalty, with him in Hubei, there should not be too much trouble.

In addition, Hu Hu and Xie Jingyang have rushed to Jingzhou, and their purpose is nothing more than to capture the White Lotus Sect, if the White Lotus Sect really wants to use the King of Xiang, then the King of Xiang will not be able to move, otherwise he will startle the snake and lose all his achievements.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "It's about the vassal king, this matter can be discussed later!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

......

That night, Zhu Yunwen summoned Chen Tongen, director of the Security Bureau, and said a few words in detail, and Chen Tongen nodded and left.

The next day, Chen Tongen got on a steamboat newly produced by the Ministry of Industry and traveled north along the Yangtze River to Jingzhou.
