Seeing him like this, Queen Xu couldn't help but come up and say with relief: "Your Highness, are you still worried about King Zhou's affairs?" ”

Zhu Di nodded heavily, sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and said to himself: "Yes, did you say that this thing is aimed at me?" ”

Queen Xu couldn't get it right, so she grabbed King Yan's hand and said, "This concubine doesn't know either, but presumably someone in our Yan country knows, why didn't His Highness ask him?" ”

This person Zhu Di didn't think about it, if it comes to conspiracy and trickery, I am afraid that no one in the entire Yan Kingdom can compare with him, but this person is too radical, and he will persuade himself to rebel at every turn, just like rebellion does not cost money, now looking for this person, I am afraid that he will still persuade himself to rebel, even if it is reversed? How can these dozens of guards and horses of the Yan Kingdom be able to stop the millions of heroes of the entire Ming Dynasty?

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, as if several people were coming, and one of them shouted: "Lord Wang, the old man came uninvited, and I ask King Yan to forgive me." ”

"Come in." King Yan must have known who these people were, and said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, these people pushed the door in, and they were several of his top henchmen of King Yan - Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and later Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister.

"Minister, old man, see Your Highness, see the princess." After these people saw Zhu Di, they didn't say a word, and bowed their heads.

"Everyone, please get up." Yan Wang Zhu Di said lightly, but his body sat motionless in his seat, obviously preoccupied.

"Your Highness." The three of them stood up separately, but they didn't say a word, but you look at me, I look at you, and there is a suspicion of passing the buck to each other in their eyes.

Zhu Di caught a glimpse of their strange expressions, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, when did you become so sloppy?" ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other for a while, and finally Yao Guangxiao spoke: "Your Highness, everyone has heard about King Zhou's cut, I don't know what Your Highness thinks about this matter." ”

Zhu Di was very thoughtful, he would definitely not speak first about this kind of thing, and said, "What is the master's opinion?" ”

Yao Guangxiao was not humble, took a step forward, and said straightforwardly: "This matter is obviously aimed at His Royal Highness, there are more than 20 vassal kings in the world, and there are not a few vassal kings in question, why doesn't the emperor cut others, but wants to cut King Zhou?" It's just because King Zhou is your half-brother that the emperor is afraid that he will collude with you, so he wants to cut off your wings. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyes and looked at this old monk who has always been pretentious, this is really a strange person, he doesn't seek fame, he doesn't seek profit, he just wants to make himself rebel, he is so happy, such a person is really rare in ancient and modern times, strange and strange, the corner of his mouth showed a slight smile, and said: "What should the king do?" Please also ask the master to give advice. ”

"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao recited the Buddha's name at this time, and was compassionate for a while, before he said slowly: "The monks are merciful, and they can't let the world be in chaos and the lives will be ruined, but this is a gift from God to His Royal Highness, and God will not take it, but will be blamed." Your Highness deserves it. ”

Zhu Di still didn't have a showdown, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't understand what the master means?" ”

Yao Guangxiao's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were full of fine light, and Lang Lang said: "The current emperor has long been suspicious of the major vassal kings, as early as when the first emperor was alive, he repeatedly asked the first emperor to cut the domain. The first emperor had greatly weakened the power of the vassal kings for him, but he was still not satisfied, and he had to abolish all the vassal kings as concubines, and he was the only one in the world who was willing to feel at ease. In this way, it will inevitably cause the shock and terror of the various vassal kings, and the terror is opposition, and these vassal kings will definitely oppose the imperial court in order to protect themselves. And since Hongwu, the vassal kings are in charge of more soldiers and horses, their strength is very strong, at this time, so His Royal Highness raised his arms and led the vassal king against the imperial court, then it will be a success, and after success, His Royal Highness who took the lead in the uprising will naturally be enshrined as the co-lord of the world, this is a great opportunity for His Royal Highness to achieve great causes, and I hope His Royal Highness will not miss it. ”

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng who said these words were enthusiastic, who is not eager to make meritorious contributions, at the moment they are just small officials with sesame mung beans, if there is no accident, they will not be able to get ahead in their lives, but fortunately, now the accident is coming, the court is still against the vassal king, as long as the world is in chaos, there will be an opportunity for their generals to show their skills, and they all echoed impassionedly: "Yes, Your Highness." The master is right, God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame. ”

"Shut up!" Zhu Di shouted categorically: "This king is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, how can he do this act of plotting to usurp the throne?" ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, pretending in his heart, you still pretended, but he still turned a corner on his lips and persuaded: "Zhu Yunwen is just a milky child, he doesn't know how to govern the country at all, let him mess around like this, sooner or later something big will happen, maybe it will be like the Song Dynasty, and it will be wiped out by foreign races, and then our Han people will usher in the second crisis of losing the country." King Yan now has this opportunity to save the fate of the dynasty, but in order to be idle, he stands by and watches, a hundred years later, how can he see the first emperor underground? ”

Zhu Di glanced at him thiefly, and said in his heart that this old monk is really powerful, and the matter of plotting to usurp the throne can be so high-sounding by him, and said: "What the master said has some truth, but it is not necessarily true. First, the king of Zhou was cut because of his own evil factors, and it can't all be thanks to this king, and the two of us may not have any connection. Second, the imperial court may only cut the king of Zhou and not deal with the remaining vassal kings, so that the remaining vassal kings will still have their hearts set on the imperial court, so what the master said about leading the vassal kings of the world to rebel against the imperial court is not valid. Third, even if it gets to that point, is it really good to jump out against it first? You must know that the rafters that came out of the first rot first, the king jumped out, and the other vassal kings did not act again, but helped the court to beat the king, so as to show loyalty to the court, so that the court could spare them, what should I do? ”

It is worthy of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty who later became famous in the annals of history, considering things is Zhou Xiang, yes, so far, there is no hope of winning the rebellion, on the contrary, according to the current situation, the probability of failure of the rebellion is still greater than the probability of success.

Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao did not flinch, one hand naturally drooped, and the other hand stroked his beard, and said confidently: "Your Highness is worried about things, and he is really a person who has achieved great things." It's just that according to the old man, this matter will be clear within a year, and the old man advises His Royal Highness to prepare early, so as not to be in a hurry at that time. ”

Zhu Di didn't speak, just tasted the tea lightly, he has many years of battlefield experience, he has long smelled that this matter is definitely not so simple, but rebellion is not a dinner after all, he must be cautious, to put it in his heart, although he wants to be the emperor, he wants to think very much, but after all, he is a very mature person, mature people do things first consider the consequences, consider what the consequences will be if this matter is not successful, to put it bluntly, it is to consider their own back road.

Only simple-minded young people who are not out of school will believe that putting themselves to death can bring out their highest potential, and in this case, often you die before your potential is realized.

There is no way back for such a thing as rebellion, and if it is not successful, it will become a benevolent, and there is no third way to go. It's true that Zhu Di wants to be the emperor, but thinking about it behind closed doors, being crooked like Zhu Hao and Di Linaza is not the same thing as letting you really throw off your arms and do it.

It's like everyone likes money, everyone knows that there is money in the bank, but if you are asked to rob the bank, will you go?

Therefore, when the rebellion is not completely certain or the court has forced him to a dead end, Zhu Di will definitely not rebel, because he is already a prince and the biggest vested interest in the Ming Dynasty, and his children and grandchildren will enjoy the title, and the generations will be endless. Because the risks of doing so far outweigh the benefits, and the benefits are almost invisible.

Seeing that Zhu Di was deep in thought, the three of them knew that he was thinking about a key step in his life, so they saluted Zhu Di and the princess in unison, and then withdrew, leaving only Zhu Di and his wife Princess Xu sighing there.

At the same time, in the far northwest of Yili City, in the dormitory of Duanfei Di Linazha, the two also had a discussion.

Di Linaza had already retreated, wearing a very thin silk pajamas, revealing an extremely graceful figure, gently sat on the edge of the bed, brushed her beautiful long hair, frowned and said: "Great King, King Zhou has been deposed, it seems that the imperial court is really going to make a move against the vassal kings." ”

To be honest, when he heard the news, he was very unkind and happy, because he remembered that the first person to be cut in history was Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, and now he was the first to be cut off, which means that it is very likely that the matter of cutting the domain has maintained the original flavor in history, which means that at present, Zhu Yunwen will not deal with him again, but will fight with Zhu Di in the near future.

At this time, he can also take this opportunity to wave his troops westward, destroy Timur, the biggest threat, and then stand with Zhu Di in the future, and finally fight or not depends on the situation at the time and his will, which means that he has the capital to choose, rather than being slaughtered like King Zhou.

Zhu Ao had already been lying on the bed thinking about the future development, and when he heard this charming little goblin say this, he reached out and took her over, pillowed her body, and enjoyed this softness very much, and said, "Then what do you say?" What if Yun Wei makes a move on the widow next? ”

Di Linaza was shocked by his sudden attack, then calmed down, pursed her lips and smiled: "The king doesn't have to worry, according to the concubine, Yun Wei should not do it like us anymore, Qi Tai is a person who understands, he should be able to see that there is no good fruit to eat when he does it to us, and there is no need, because my father has a clear order not to let the king's army cross the Yellow River, which means that we will not threaten his throne." ”

"Now the biggest threat to the king is the Timurid Empire in the west, and the concubines say something rebellious, as long as Yun Wei annoys several other vassal kings, and when they start to join forces to rebel, it is the day when the king advances westward, because at this time, no one can threaten the king's back road."

This little girl is really extraordinary, the widow really didn't raise her in vain, Zhu Ao couldn't help but feel refreshed, wanted to tease her, and said with a smile: "How do you know that other vassal kings will definitely rebel?" What if we can't fight? ”

Di Linazha's face suddenly became serious, frowned, shook her head, and said: "This concubine doesn't dare to decide, it's just that Yun Wei is so ruthless in cutting the domain, it will inevitably make other vassal kings fearful, fear is resistance, in order to protect themselves, most of them will unite to deal with Yun Wen, although I don't dare to say that it will happen, but the concubine thinks it's not much worse." ”

Zhu Ao nodded very approvingly, and said in an encouraging tone: "You are right, you, the female Zhuge have helped the widow a lot, and when the widow destroys the Timurid Empire and conquers thousands of miles, he will definitely give our son a good fief." ”

Di Linaza pursed her lips and smiled, touched her lower abdomen with her hand, and said with a look of maternal love: "Concubine Xie Wang." She has been pregnant for more than two months, and she is very envious of her sisters who have children one after another, and now she finally has a child of her own.

Zhu Ao smiled faintly, he had already made a plan for his future development, but he was a cautious person, and he would never say success or failure lightly until the last moment, and still said to Di Linaza seriously: "But we can't take it lightly, we should send an order to the commander of Lanzhou Wei and let him closely monitor the movements of the imperial army." In addition, it is necessary to send orders to the Dongchang and the Department of Honor and Guard, so that they can closely monitor the movements of the civil and military officials, especially those in important positions, and if they find any abnormal movements among them, they will immediately be interrogated, and they will rather catch the mistake than let it go. ”

He understood that he was still at a disadvantage compared to the imperial court, not only was the population of the territory inferior to the imperial court, but how could the majesty of a mere king be worthy of the orthodox emperor. The water flows to a low place, people go to a high place, if you want to go to a high place, you must hug your thighs, as far as the current point of view, your legs are definitely not as thick as Zhu Yunwen, so some people who pretend to be smart and forget their righteousness will secretly communicate with the imperial court if they are not even, this time is the time to maximize the use of the spy organization, we must draw a red line in the country, and clearly tell everyone that those who cross the line will die.

It is necessary to create an atmosphere of terror throughout the country through the secret service organization, so as to deter those with bad intentions, if at this time they still blindly pay attention to benevolent government and do not take precautions against ministers, then they are afraid that they will be sold and still help others count money.

Heroes throughout the ages have used this trick, but some have succeeded, some have failed, those who have succeeded have had the foresight to use this trick, and those who have failed have used this trick to be suspicious of the minister, leading to detachment from morality and eventual defeat, which is really ridiculous.

"The king is wise, so that I have nothing to worry about in this way." Di Lina said with a smile. With that, she handed Zhu Ao her fragrant lips.

However, Di Linaza is pregnant, she must not be able to sleep, this kind of thing will be handed over to her personal maid pothos to do, the ancients are this custom, no one thinks it is a big deal, Zhu Ao has long been used to it.

I saw Di Linaza snort softly, summoned the green pothos who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and commanded lightly: "This palace is unwell, you serve the king for this palace tonight." ”
