Bidding farewell to Xu Huizu, King Yan did not return to Beiping immediately, but inspected the ruins of the camp, and ordered the generals under his command to investigate carefully, and it was almost noon before returning to Beiping.

Yanwang Mansion, study.

Zhu Di and Dao Yan sat opposite each other, Zhu Di first described the events of the last two days, Master Dao Yan listened quietly, and said softly: "Lord Wang, what conclusion do you have?" ”

Zhu Di rubbed his forehead with his hand and said: "Master, Xu Huizu's inspection of the north must have been instructed by Yun Wei, the purpose is to observe the reality of the kings, especially this king, because he has been in Beiping for five days, which is too long, and that Wang Du also lined up people in the streets and alleys of Beiping to observe the people's feelings, which shows that Yun Wei is wary of this king." ”

"In addition, the guards camped in Tongzhou and actually sprinkled thistle terrestris, Beiping is already part of the mainland, why is it so strict? The king felt that this was a precaution and a demonstration. ”

Dao Yan lost a lot of weight, the cheekbones on his face appeared higher, he coughed, and said: "Lord Wang, now the situation has changed, looking at all kinds of signs, the imperial grandson is gradually increasing the strength of the imperial court, and the guards are well-equipped, fortunately, the training time is not long." If the imperial grandson increases the number of guards to 100,000 and trains for more than two years, then we have no chance of success, so we can only do it first. ”

"Be the first to do it? This is not good, my father is still here. Zhu Di waved his hand again and again.

"Lord Wang, I mean to send someone to kill the imperial grandson, so that the court will inevitably be in chaos."

Zhu Di, who was waving his hand, couldn't help but pause and said, "Why? ”

"As long as the emperor's grandson dies, the prince can only choose between the king of Jin and the prince, the emperor is old, and he is likely to choose the prince, so such a big thing can be done."

Zhu Di leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, the muscles on his face were twisted, his brain was thinking painfully, and he said for a long time: "If this matter is exposed, I will have no place to die." Even if Yun Wei dies, he may choose the third brother to become king. ”

"Lord Wang, King Jin is not in good health, he has been sick for a long time, and it is unlikely that he will choose King Jin."

Zhu Di thought for a while, looked at Dao Yan and said, "Master, you have always been unhurried before, what happened this time?" ”

Dao Yan was just about to answer, when there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Di shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Wang, the secret military order of the imperial court, indicating that the prince will open it."

Zhu Di turned around and went out, and when he came back, he held a brown box one foot long and one inch wide in his hand and put it on the table. Then Zhu Di took a necklace from his neck, and at the top of the necklace was a key. Zhu Di opened the key to the box, and inside was a paper tube.

Zhu Di flattened the paper tube and looked at it for a while, then walked to the map and looked at it, looking a little excited. He turned around and said, "Master, look at this military order, there is a big move in the imperial court." ”

Dao Yan took the military order, read it carefully three times, then closed his eyes and thought about it in his mind, and said: "The imperial court will start to build a city at the foot of Daqing Mountain in the first month of next year, and the emperor will order the prince to rectify the army and horses, and start the expedition in December, the goal is the Krulun River, coercion and forest." ”

"Yes," Zhu Di said excitedly: "Father is really bold, if Suiyuan City is built, he can cover Datong and control Southern Mongolia." ”

Dao Yan thought for a while and said: "No wonder Xu Huizu will inspect Dongsheng, Datong and Daqingshan, it seems that before this inspection, the imperial court had an intention, and after the inspection, the imperial court made a decision." ”

"Yes, master, my father's decision is very wise."

Zhu Di waved his hand excitedly, but did not get a response from Dao Yan, glanced back at Dao Yan, but found that Dao Yan's face was gloomy and a little strange: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Dao Yan exhaled and said, "Lord Wang, according to Lao Wei, this matter is the decision of the emperor's grandson, not the emperor's decision. ”

"How do you know? Can Yun Wei have such great courage? ”

"Lord, the emperor is nearly seventy years old, and it will take at least more than a year to build the city this time, to say something disrespectful, the emperor himself doesn't know if he can live until that time, how can he be so aggressive and leave a mess for the emperor's grandson? So this must be the idea of the imperial grandson, even if the emperor has a case, it is convenient for the imperial grandson to take over. ”

"And there's a great danger to it."

"What danger?"

"If the emperor wants to remove the hidden danger for the emperor's grandson, he will send someone to take over the capital of Beiping, at that time, the prince is far away, and the Krulun River is more than a thousand miles away from Beiping, and when the prince rushes back, I am afraid it will be at least a month or two later, I am afraid that the general trend has gone."

"My father won't do this kind of thing, and I have to obediently hand over my military power when my father says a word, so it won't be like this." Zhu Di hesitated for a moment and said.

"You have to guard against it, if the emperor is not in good health, it will be difficult to say if his head is hot, and even the emperor's grandson can directly mobilize the manpower of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, if it is ......"

Zhu Di couldn't help but shudder, and a scene appeared in his head: he led the army to go straight to Helin, after a hundred battles, people were sleepy and lacking horses, food and grass were scarce, and he returned to Gubeikou, but he was closed, and then a eunuch appeared, ordering him to hand over his military power and move elsewhere, how should he choose? Forward, the majestic mountains, behind the people, people are sleepy and lacking, I am afraid that I can only obediently accept the order.

"What then?"

"The easiest way, the most effective way, is to get rid of the imperial grandson, then all problems will be solved. Even if the emperor has the intention of dealing with the prince, it will disappear. ”

"It's best to settle this matter before December, and if the army has already gone out, it's best to make a feint outside the Saiwai for a hundred miles, so that it is convenient to enter the customs at any time."

"But if that's the case, it's also an opportunity for Your Highness to calmly command the army south."

"Let this king think about it, think about it." Zhu Di stood up, paced, and slowly deliberated.

......

After a long time, Zhu Di sat down, gritted his teeth and said, "With our strength, can we get rid of Zhu Yunwen?" ”

"Unlikely, although we have a lot of eyeliners in Beijing, there are only a dozen combatants, and if we want to assassinate Zhu Yunwen, the number must be at least two hundred."

"What then?"

"Lord Wang, Lao Wei plans to let Jin Zhong take full responsibility and appropriately recruit heroes to increase his strength. Solve Zhu Yunwen as soon as possible. ”

"Are the Jianghu people reliable?" Zhu Di doubted.

"It's really unreliable, I will let Jin Zhong recruit people, our side is only responsible for the news, and they are responsible for doing it, so that even if something happens, we can't find out."

Zhu Di thought for a long time and said, "Master, this king authorizes you and Jin Zhong to mobilize all forces, and you must get rid of Zhu Yunwen before December." But remember, even if you fail, you can't expose the Yanwang Mansion, you must be careful, careful, and careful. ”
