Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and laughed, laughing almost to tears, laughing and laughing, he suddenly coughed violently, and fell on the horseback to gasp for breath before saying, "It turns out that you came back this time to ask me for money?" ”

Zhu Di didn't speak, but nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to the prisoner in the distance and signaled him to come over, and then ordered: "Spread the decree, King Yan offers treasures, I am very happy, reward King Yan with 500,000 treasures, 1,000 silk horses, this," said and pondered for a while: "In addition, King Yan will be rewarded for two years." In addition, the household department immediately allocated a special fund, which was allocated by King Yan for the purpose of King Yan's selection of elite soldiers. ”

After making the order, Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Zhu Di again, and asked with a smile: "How about it, I didn't let you suffer, this money is enough to fill the deficit of your private treasury." In the future, with the special funds of the household department, the funds for selecting and training this elite soldier have been settled, and there is no need to pay money from your private treasury. ”

Zhu Di was so happy that he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Zhu Di's offering of treasures, the joy of dragon faces, heavy rewards and praises, these news soon reached the ears of all the vassal kings and princes, and among the kings with their own thoughts, another round of evaluation, comparison and calculation began.

Among all the kings in Beijing, the most anxious is Zhu Li, the king of Jin. After learning that King Yan was in the limelight in the school military field, Zhu Li immediately ordered someone to find Du Huan, but soon, the person sent replied: "Du Shaozhan is practicing calligraphy, he said to ask the prince to wait, and he will come after he finishes writing." ”

Where did Zhu Li have the patience to wait for Du Huan to finish practicing, and hurriedly came to Du Huan's small courtyard, neither self-reported to the door, let alone knock on the door, pushed the door and entered, and when he entered the door, Du Huan was really practicing calligraphy unhurriedly, although Zhu Li made a lot of noise when he entered the house, but Du Huan did not raise his eyes, and still concentrated on writing with his head down.

"Sir, why do you still have the heart to write? When is it? Zhu Li was anxious, and when he saw Du Huan so calm and calm, he was even more anxious.

Du Huan did not stop writing, but patiently finished writing this character, threw the pen into the pen wash in a chic manner, and then looked up and said to Zhu Li: "What His Royal Highness is drawing, what is it?" ”

Zhu Li frowned, came to Du Huan, and asked without thinking, "What does Mr. mean by this?" Let's be clear. ”

Du Huan shook his head and said calmly: "Your Highness's final plan is only to store the position, and those who seek great things must deal with it calmly. ”

Zhu Li is even more impatient, isn't this nonsense, now is not the time to be clumsy: "Now that the fourth brother is proud, the second brother has also taken the lead in secret, if this king continues to be indifferent, then what does the storage position have to do with me?" ”

"What do you have to do with the current storage position and King Jin?" Du Huan smiled, put the paperweight aside, carefully picked up the pair of words and blew it: "The prince has not been abolished, the storage position has not yet been suspended, if the king of Jin is in a hurry to make a move now, isn't it clear that he wants to take the heir?" Doesn't that mean telling the other vassal kings and princes that you are plotting against you? ”

Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Du Huan had indeed persuaded himself to be cautious and low-key before, but he was afraid, afraid of missing the best opportunity, afraid of being taken first: "But do you wait like this?" Wouldn't it be to sit back and watch King Qin and King Yan take the lead? ”

Du Huan put down the lettering, pressed it with a paperweight again, and said with a smile: "I suggest that the prince keep a low profile, but did I say why wait?" I advise Your Highness not to be chaotic in case of trouble, that is, to deal with it calmly, and not to rush to the doctor. Your Royal Highness, please think about it, King Yan is out of the limelight, and King Qin also has a sacred heart, who is the most anxious right now? ”

Zhu Li immediately replied: "Then it doesn't need to be said, naturally my eldest brother and the crown prince are the most anxious." ”

Du Huan smiled again and asked: "So King Jin, please continue to think about it, the prince is in a hurry, will he make any moves?" ”

Zhu Li replied: "According to common sense, I'm afraid I will make a move." ”

Du Huan then asked: "So once the prince makes a move, who will be his first target?" ”

Zhu Li replied: "It's either the second brother or the fourth." ”

Du Huan's face suddenly changed: "Yes, as His Royal Highness said, the most popular people at the moment are King Qin and King Yan, according to the common sense of ordinary people, the prince will make a move against King Qin and King Yan." ”

Zhu Li was impatient and grabbed the words: "Sir, we can't speculate according to common sense now, what if the prince doesn't make a move, what if he is indecisive and hesitant." ”

Du Huan said confidently: "Then we might as well help the prince." ”

Zhu Li was puzzled: "Help?" How can it help? ”

Du Huan smiled again: "If someone does something to King Qin and King Yan at this time, then who does His Highness think will do it?" ”

Zhu Li seemed to understand a little, and replied with understanding: "Naturally, it's the prince, they are the biggest threat to the prince, what does Mr. mean?" ”

Du Huan bent down, poured the water from the pen wash into the bucket on the side, and said: "Your Highness is wise, you have already guessed the essence of this plan, Your Highness, will you think so, will others think the same?" ”

Zhu Li suddenly realized: "What Mr. means is that we will attack King Qin and King Yan, but the government and the opposition will think that the prince is doing it, and then we will deliberately leak some flaws so that others can find evidence of the prince's action." ”

Du Huan nodded: "It's not enough to let the government and the opposition think that it was the prince who did it, we must let the emperor also think that it was the prince's hand." ”

Zhu Li was overjoyed, it turned out that Du Huan already had a clever plan in his heart, no wonder he was so calm: "Gao, Mr. Clever plan, killing two birds with one stone, not only calculated the prince, but also knocked down the two most important opponents of the king, Gao, it is really high." ”

Under the great joy, Zhu Li's troubles were instantly forgotten, he smiled and came to the opposite side of the bookcase, stood beside Du Huan and admired Du Huan's words, and couldn't help but praise: "Good pen power, pen walking dragon snake, Mr. really wrote a good hand!" ”

Early in the morning of the fourth day when Zhu Di returned to Beijing, he found Linglong again, "Have your people found Yao Guangqi?" It's been a few days since we went back to Beijing, and we haven't seen him come back, what's going on? Don't be in trouble. ”

Linglong's face was a little red, and she whispered: "Someone did see the bald man yesterday, but on the street, my people didn't dare to say hello, his feet were fast, and my people didn't follow." ”

Zhu Di sighed and said dissatisfiedly: "Your people have been deployed in the capital for so long, why is it that the news is not very well-informed, can't you inquire about his whereabouts?" ”

Although Zhu Di's tone was not heavy, but there was reproach and doubt in his words, Linglong hurriedly defended: "Our people have just come to Jingshi, and it is not easy to lurk and integrate into Jingshi. ”

Linglong's words, Zhu Di also felt reasonable, at the beginning of the establishment of the Wen'an Society, Zhu Di did plan to fight steadily, but the current situation has changed, no one expected that the emperor would suddenly summon himself into Beijing, and from the current situation, he is not only more and more appreciated, but also has the limelight to overpower the prince's momentum, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, this is the time to use Wen'an Society, Linglong, why are you so inflexible. Zhu Di was unhappy in his heart, and said in an aggravated tone: "When is this happening, don't use it at this time, let it be more time, let your people find Yao Guangqi quickly, quickly." Also, the recent news in the capital must be investigated in detail and clearly, and there can be no omission. He didn't look at Linglong, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Zhu Di's anxiety comes from his intuition, he faintly feels that danger is approaching him, it should be said that on the battlefield, Zhu Di's intuition is accurate, and in the power field, Zhu Di's intuition is equally keen.

At the same time that Zhu Di strictly ordered Linglong to quickly find Yao Guangqi and monitor the trend of public opinion in the capital, a letter appeared on the table of Yin Lu Xiaofeng of Yingtianfu Mansion without signature or fire signature.

This is a report letter, and the object of the report is Yan Wang Zhu Di: Yan Wang Zhu Di and the son of the thief Zhang Dingbian privately colluded to collect the dead soldiers in the rivers and lakes and plot against them. The number of words in the letter is very short, but it is very amazing, in which year Zhu Di took Zhang Yu under his command, and in which year he gathered a person named Yuan Heng, who said that he had a nose and eyes, just like the person who wrote the letter experienced it himself. Before Lu Xiaofeng finished reading the letter, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Lu Xiaofeng, the Yin of Ying Tianfu, has just been in office for less than a year, and he has never encountered such a major event before, and the person who wrote the letter is not named, Lu Xiaofeng scolded in his heart, isn't this harmful to Lao Tzu? If you really know, why don't you report directly to the Criminal Department, report to me that a magistrate has a fart, scolding and scolding, the stakes are very high, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly took the letter and came to find the secretary of his house, Hua Wangu, although this Hua Wangu is only a secretary, but it is Lu Xiaofeng's most powerful think tank, Lu Xiaofeng will consult this Hua Wangu whenever he encounters difficult things.

After reading the letter, Hua Wangu also hesitated for a long time, frowned and said, "My lord, this time it's a big trouble." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said in his heart, I still need you to say, I don't know it's a big trouble? With a bitter face, he asked, "Is there a way to resolve it?" ”

Hua Wangu shook his head helplessly: "Disaster, a big disaster, it is a blessing to be able to get out of it, it can't be resolved, whoever is in this kind of thing is unlucky." ”

Lu Xiaofeng was even more anxious, and urged: "Don't sell the pass, whether it's retreat or resolution, as long as you can let me pass this level, whatever." ”

Hua Wangu said with a sad face: "My lord, you haven't seen it yet, in such a sensitive period, there is such a letter from unknown sources, and the person who wrote the letter obviously wants to borrow your hand, borrow the hand of Tianfu to rectify the Yan King, you have been used as a gun." ”

"Whole Yan King ......" Lu Xiaofeng also had this idea in his heart, but he didn't want to accept such an inference, he had always been lucky, hoping that Hua Wangu could give him another answer: "At this time, the Whole Yan King, is it ...... Prince? Would the prince use this method? And by our hand? ”

"Who else but the crown prince?" Hua Wangu said with great certainty: "The genius of the prince's trick is that he used you, borrowed your hand that had nothing to do with him before, and you are the parent official in charge of the capital, and you brought down King Yan. This move can really be described as a degree of advance and retreat, attacking and defending freely. ”
