(Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!) ）

Zhu Yuan said with a hippie smile, but the prince didn't hear it like this, this was obviously to shout at him.

Zhu Hai's face sank, and he said: "Fourth brother, don't say that, he is the doorman of the palace, and all the officials in the world are the courtiers of the father, as for how to deal with it, it is naturally up to the father to decide!" ”

Zhu Yuan was originally a young man, and he wanted to show off in front of the prince after such a heavy responsibility, but seeing that the prince's face was not good, Zhu Yuan also regretted it in his heart.

Zhu Yuan smiled wryly: "Brother Prince, Brother Brother doesn't mean that, Brother Brother thinks that since the governor of Henan is the disciple of Brother Prince, Brother Brother should clean up the door for Brother Prince!" ”

Zhu Hai was already in a bad mood, but now that Zhu Yuan is still in such a hand, Zhu Hai stood up and said: "Fourth brother, how to deal with it is the will of the father, and the elder brother can't be the master." My brother is tired today, so I won't accompany my fourth brother! ”

Zhu Yuan saw the prince chasing away guests, and he couldn't get up and say goodbye. When he went out, Zhu Hai looked at Zhu Yuan, who had just become an adult, sighed and said, "Fourth brother, my brother will tell you a heartfelt word, the water in Henan is very deep, you have to be careful!" ”

Zhu Hai is ten years older than Zhu Yuan, usually the two brothers have a good relationship, plus Zhu Hai has a weak temperament, he really can't bear to see Zhu Yuan enter this big mud pit, so he issued a warning.

But Zhu Yuan was only fifteen years old, which was the age of a newborn calf, and he regarded the prince's concern as a provocation, thinking that he should not interfere too much in the affairs of Henan.

Zhu Yuan sneered: "Brother Crown Prince also said, what to do with it is the father's will, and the younger brother can't be the master!" ”

The two brothers, who were originally close, now completely parted ways, Zhu Hai looked at Zhu Yuan's back, sighed and returned to the apse.

Qian Yiai Xia Wanchun and the others were waiting for news here, and when they saw Zhu Hai coming in with a sad face, Xia Wanchun asked, "Your Highness, what did King Yan say?" ”

Zhu Hai sighed and repeated what Zhu Yuan said just now, and Qian Yiai smiled after hearing it: "Brother Cungu Xian, how is it?" Don't you give a salute to your brother? ”

Xia Wanchun has a good character, and unlike the money who is full of bad intentions, he is willing to gamble if he loses. Xia Wanchun stood up and respectfully saluted Qian Yiai, calling him brother.

Zhu Hai was completely stunned and asked, "What are the two gentlemen doing here?" "Zhu Hai knows that Xia Wanchun is greater than Qian Yiai, and he also knows that these two people are in the same place, why is Xia Wanchun changing sex, giving Qian Yiai a salute, and still calling him brother?

Don't talk about this kind of embarrassing thing, Xia Wanchun gritted his teeth and replied: "It's nothing, the minister and Qian Zigao lost the bet just now!" ”

Zhu Hai knew that there must be something hidden in this matter, but Zhu Hai was docile, and he didn't ask if others didn't say anything about him. In addition, Zhu Hai was anxious about the collective dismissal of the cabinet, so he was in the mood to ask about the bet.

"Two gentlemen, this time the cabinet has been dismissed collectively, what do you think should be done?" This matter is what Zhu Hai is most anxious about, because most of his support comes from a few cabinet elders, Ma Mingyuan doesn't say it, it is a hardcore princeling, that is, Qu Shiyun of the Donglin Party, Li Zhi of the Guangdong Party, and his cousin Feng Ziyong and others, all support the prince, and now these people are all rolling up and going home, so what should I do?

Xia Wanchun sighed when he heard the prince ask, and said, "Today, I blame Qu Ge Lao, I am too anxious to anger the emperor!" ”

Qian Yiai shook his head on the side and said: "That's not the case, today's incident is not accidental, in fact, His Majesty had an omen four years ago and wanted to replace the cabinet with the Military Aircraft Department." Does the prince remember that His Majesty gave His Excellency the Holy Decree in the name of the Military Aircraft Department? Later, it was returned by the cabinet in the name of not conforming to the ancestral system. This is the reason, today's impeachment of Shoufu by Qu Pavilion is just an inducement, and without this matter, His Majesty will find something else to remove the cabinet. ”

Zhu Hai did not ask the emperor why he didn't like the cabinet, Zhu Hai has now gone through several political struggles, and has deeply understood that the cabinet is the restriction of imperial power, and there is no emperor who will like a cabinet that takes care of everything. Your cabinet can manage major state affairs, but the emperor wants to make that son the crown prince, like to sleep with that woman, and what he likes to eat, which is a bit annoying. If Zhu Hai is the emperor, he will definitely weaken the power of the cabinet.

But now it's different, Zhu Hai is still the crown prince, and its main supporters are all cabinet members, if the cabinet really falls, won't it be over itself?

"Then what plan do the two gentlemen have to make my father change his mind?"

Xia Wanchun thought for a while and said: "You can mobilize hundreds of officials to write a book, and the pain is terrible, so that Your Majesty can take back your life." There is also the need to let hundreds of officials slack off and fight against the Military Aircraft Department! ”

Xia Wanchun's strategy is decent, and if he changes to a mediocre emperor, he will probably succeed. But the current emperor is Zhu Hongsan, the king of Zhongxing, who killed tens of thousands of scholars in Zhejiang, Jiangsu Province just two years ago, and if he really angers the emperor, it is not impossible to fill the army with disobedient officials, anyway, China lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of officials.

Qian Yiai listened to Xia Wanchun and then said: "What Brother Cungu said is very good, but please don't forget those pavilion elders, they are the most anxious!" ”

Zhu Hai suddenly realized when he heard it, yes! I am anxious, and there are people who are more anxious than themselves, that is, the seven old people who have been exempted from the cabinet, and it is easy to enter the cabinet after reading a lifetime, and your emperor said that if you are exempted, you will be exempted? It's strange if I don't play with you.

"That's right! That's right! Zigao said well, so what do you say should be done next? ”

"Your Highness, you can leave the matter of contacting the hundred officials to Cungu, the virtuous brother of Cungu likes to sell his reputation and reputation, and has a good relationship with those Hanlin imperial histories, and the minister believes that he can handle this matter well!"

Xia Wanchun listened to Qian Yiai's sarcasm about himself, and said angrily: "Okay, let me do this matter for me to do it, what is the far-sighted Qian Zigao doing?" ”

Qian Yiai took advantage of Xia Wanchun, who was angry, and said to Zhu Hai: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there are ministers on the Qu Pavilion Elder side to make peace, and the Shoufu side needs His Royal Highness the Prince, but there is still a variable in this matter, that is, Tong Pavilion Senior!" ”

"Tong Yangjia? The cabinet members all agree that he can't make any big waves, right? ”

"Your Highness is wrong, if you want Your Majesty to take back the holy decree, it will be on Tong Ge Lao! Your Highness, please think about it, why the Military Aircraft Department has sprung up this time, isn't it because the surrounding wars have been smooth in the past few years, so that Your Majesty can see the usefulness of the Military Aircraft Department. However, if the cabinet is reinstated, the Military Aircraft Department will be denied, so at this time, Tong Ge Lao will be used. Now the surrounding wars are all fought by the new army directly under His Majesty, and the cabinet cannot intervene at all, so our influence is limited. The only one who can intervene is Fujian, because the war in Fujian is under the management of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and at the same time, Yuan Pengnian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is still the protégé of Tong Ge, and if there is a rebellion in Fujian, Tong Ge Lao will support him. ”

Zhu Hai was taken aback when he heard Qian Yiai say this, this Qian Yiai is too bold, this is to use Fujian's affairs to pressure the emperor to submit!

"Zigao, what do you mean to stir up the peace talks between Huang and Zheng Chenggong?"

"Yes, not only to sabotage the peace talks, it is better to start a war with Zheng Chenggong again, if you can die thousands of people, it will be better!"

Before Zhu Hai could speak, Xia Wanchun stood up suddenly, pointed at Qian Yiai and scolded: "Qian Yiai, why are you so vicious at a young age, those officials and soldiers are also people, you just let them die for your own selfish interests?" ”

Qian Yiai saw Xia Wanchun angry, spread his hands and said, "Then what should I do?" You Xia Wanchun can find a reason for His Majesty the Emperor to reinstate the cabinet, if you can find that Qian Mou, kneel and kowtow to you! ”

Zhu Hai is no longer the weak Zhu Hai of a few years ago, he knows that political struggle is life and death, if he doesn't seize every opportunity to turn over today, he can only be unlucky in the end, so Zhu Hai is not very disgusted with Qian Yiai's ruthless strategy, his head is sharply calculating his own gains and losses.

"Zigao, can this really restore the cabinet? But what if Tong Yangjia doesn't agree? ”

This is what Zhu Hai is most worried about, because the prince is the one who suffers the most from the collapse of the cabinet, and Tong Yangjia supports the king of Chu, and at this time, he is afraid that Tong Yangjia will do whatever it takes to bring down the prince, and that will be the end.

"Your Highness, this is the most important thing, and this is the reason why Your Highness wants to go and see Shousuke in person. The only one who can convince Tong Ge Lao to help is the position of Shoufu! ”

"Qian Zigao, what kind of bullshit plan did you come up with, in order to protect the prince, you have to use the position of the first assistant to make a deal with Tong Yangjia? But what should the prince do without the protection of Shousuke? Isn't this a trade-off? ”

"Hey, Your Highness, the minister also knows that this is not good, but now is an extraordinary time, and you can only choose the lesser of two evils. Your Highness thinks about it, if the cabinet falls, His Highness will have to face the challenges of many princes, not to mention the rest, the King of Qin and the King of Chu will definitely be eyeing each other, waiting for His Highness to make a mistake. But what about the reinstatement of the Cabinet? Except for the elder Tong Ge, everyone else in the cabinet supported His Royal Highness, and they did not dare to be too arrogant with the King of Qin and the King of Chu. And it's okay for us to promise to give up the position of Shoufu to Tong Yangjia, because the final decision is in the hands of the emperor! ”

Zhu Hai listened to what Qian Yiai said very reasonably, in the past few days, he has read the Sui Shu Shizu Benji, Yang Yong back then was not protected by the minister, and he was attacked by Yang Guang and his henchmen in every way before losing the throne of the prince. But giving up the position of first assistant to Tong Yangjia like this, Zhu Hai was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"Zigao, what did you mean by the last thing you said?"

"Your Royal Highness, we can now promise Tong Yangjia that he will be the first assistant after the matter is completed, but the decision of the first assistant is in the hands of the emperor, and when the time comes, we can operate and let another qualified person be the first assistant, isn't that okay?"

Zhu Hai frowned when he heard Qian Yiai say this, the other one? Could it be to restart Ma Jiyuan? Although Ma Jiyuan also supports himself, Ma Jiyuan's power will definitely increase greatly when he comes up to Qin King Zhu Jiang, which is not a good idea.

"Zigao, are you talking about Ma Jiyuan? Although he supports the palace, he is the grandfather of the second child after all, which is not good! ”

"Your Highness, you forgot that there is another one of the founding dukes, that is, Feng Ge Lao!"
