Beiping Yanwang Mansion, Flower Hall.

Monk Daoyan was still wearing a gray monk's robe, sitting on his left side with his eyelids drooping, slowly turning a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads in his hand, without any expression on his face.

Since being kicked by Zhang Sanfeng, Dao Yan feels that he is getting older and older, he was originally in his sixties, but now he looks like an old man in his seventies and eighties, and he is a little unable to walk and think, compared to that year, it has been much slower, Zhang Sanfeng's kick was vicious, making his lower body suffer pain and torture every day, when that sharp and clear pain emerged, his hatred for the court and Xiao Fan in his heart was a little deeper.

Only Dao Yan's burning ambition is immortal.

He never felt that he was a hero, he was very clear about his positioning, the kind of hero who killed decisively and looked down on the world was by no means a role he could play, the stage of life was so big, there were only one or two who could be heroes, and more were unknown supporting roles and passers-by.

Dao Yan feels that he is playing a supporting role of a foil hero, this supporting role may not have too many scenes, not too many lines, but he can guide the plot of a story and help the protagonist realize his ambitions and **, before that, all he has to do is to find the hero who is worthy of his allegiance for a lifetime in the vast sea of people.

Fortunately, he had already discovered it more than ten years ago.

Over the years, Dao Yan has watched Zhu Di grow step by step, step by step, and is pleased that he personally ignited the fire in Zhu Di's heart that fused ambition and **, and his strength also cooperated with his ambition growth, which was irrepressible and eventually became a climate.

That's enough, he Daoyan wants to prove to the world that he is not just a monk, he has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and has the opportunity to hide the universe in his chest.

Overthrowing the heir to the throne appointed by the first emperor and daring to teach the moon to change the sky, is this a big deal?

Of course, it is a big deal, objectively speaking, Dao Yan definitely has the strength to prove himself now.

If Emperor Xianquan had known, would he regret that he had not been admitted to the Daolu Division examination that year, and rewarded him as a petty official? Or...... Just kill him?

So many innocent people died under Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife, but they missed this real disaster.

Learn literary and martial arts, and harm the emperor's family.

This is probably Dao Yan's ideal of life, which means that it is a bit harmful to others and not beneficial to himself, maybe even he doesn't understand, where does the inexplicable resentment against the imperial court and the first emperor come from, Dao Yan does not seek fame, does not seek profit, he is poor all his life, does not love money, is not close to beauty, and has no intention of officialdom, his purpose is actually very simple, just to prove that he is not a useless person, that's it, but the way to prove it is a bit of a disaster for the country and the people.

There are no good or bad people in this world, only successful people and failed people.

Turning his head slightly, he saw Zhu Di sitting on the top, Zhu Di was wearing a dark yellow royal robe, his face was expressionless, and he sat upright like a mountain, looking like a tiger with sharp claws and ready to attack.

Dao Yan smiled, this is the hero he chose, one day, this fierce tiger in the roaring mountains and forests will surely turn into a golden flying dragon, soaring in the sky and universe, spreading clouds and rain, and leaving the wind and clouds.

That day will come soon.

The flower hall was silent for a long time, and Zhu Di said in a hoarse voice: "There is no news after Changshi Gecheng entered Beijing, and the eyeliner laid by this king in Beijing said that he has taken refuge in the imperial court, and he has betrayed this king!" ”

Dao Yanhun smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a long history, and it can't control the overall situation, so why should the prince mind?" ”

Zhu Di angrily slapped the table next to him, and said angrily: "This king has always treated Ge Cheng well, and he dared to betray this king!" Teach me how not to mind? He knows that there are many unknown secrets of this king, and now he has voted for Zhu Yunwen's child, I am afraid that it just gives the court an excuse to ask for guilt......"

Dao Yan said with a smile: "The prince is in the bureau, I'm afraid that he is a little confused, and the court asks for guilt?" Who dares to ask the prince about his sin? Don't forget, Lord Wang, you are now sitting in the land of Youyan, a strong domain with more than 100,000 elite soldiers under your command, with such strength, how dare the Son of Heaven rashly ask the prince for his crimes? ”

Zhu Di frowned, and muttered: "But Ge Cheng finally told the court the secret, and this king and the court are now completely torn faces......

Dao Yan shook his head and smiled: "The prince is not good at what he said, the time is also, the situation is also, the prince and the court are now each strong, in fact, the two tacitly, sooner or later they will meet each other, Ge Cheng does not tell the truth, how much evidence of the prince's rebellion is said to the court, it doesn't matter, what the court needs now is time, not evidence, once the situation is used by the court, there is no evidence, the court will still attack the prince, if the situation has not arrived, even if the evidence is ironclad, the court will not dare to act rashly, the overall situation is the most important, Ge Cheng, It's just a small wave......"

Zhu Di's expression was uncertain, and finally he let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "A thousand years of meritorious deeds, the line is like walking on thin ice, it is so difficult to achieve a great thing, sir, Duoyan Sanwei is there......"

Dao Yan's smile gradually became gloomy, and he said coldly: "The poor monk made an appointment to meet Tulu Kuchaer again, and his appetite became bigger and bigger, and this time he actually asked for 30,000 taels of gold before he was willing to send troops......

Zhu Di gasped: "Thirty thousand taels of gold? ”

Dao Yan nodded with a gloomy face.

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "This son of a bitch, why didn't he just be a horse and rob the house?" ”

After taking a few heavy breaths, Zhu Di waved his hand decisively, gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, we can't afford to invite Duoyan Sanwei, give up!" ”

Dao Yan was silent for a while, and said: "The poor monk went to visit King Ning in Daning Mansion again, and took it upon himself to give King Ning five thousand taels of gold. ”

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Mr. is doing the right thing, this group of Mongolians is really insatiable, 30,000 taels of gold, hum!" They were so embarrassed to open this mouth! But...... Duoyan Sanwei has always been unruly, can King Ning restrain them? ”

Dao Yan smiled bitterly: "King Ning is their nominal master, and he will always be controlled to some extent, but Tulu Huzar suddenly raised the price, and the poor monk always felt that there was some conspiracy here......

"Sir may have thought too much, this king and King Ning have always been good friends, and Duoyan Sanwei often joins forces to conquer the remnants of the Yuan, even if Duoyan Sanwei is unwilling to send troops, at least it will not cause trouble to this king......"

Dao Yan sighed: "Maybe the poor monk thinks too much, Lord Wang, if the situation is getting clearer and clearer today, especially Xiao Fan's efforts to implement the new policy of the military system, seeing that the combat power of the imperial army is gradually improving, and the time is getting more and more urgent, Lord Wang, if the imperial army is really made into a climate, we really have no chance......

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Mr. means ......"

Dao Yan's eyes flashed, and then an unhealthy flush of excitement welled up on his thin face, and even his breathing became rapid.

"Lord Wang, the time has come, and it will change when it's late!"

Zhu Di was taken aback, and trembled a little: "Sir, do you have to ...... this king?"

"Raise your troops and go south! Lord Wang, march south! When the time comes, the dragon chair of the Jingshi is waiting for the prince to sit, the prince, it's the other way around now! ”

"Reverse ...... now?" Zhu Di almost fell off his chair.

Over the years, he has been constantly preparing, recruiting, training, stockpiling food, and planning...... The inflated ambition and ** supported him to do many great things, his eyes were staring at the golden chair in the Jingshi Fengtian Temple, and his feet were running non-stop, so fast, so fast that even he forgot the time, forgetting that he was already full-fledged and could fight with the imperial court...... Zhu Di's breathing also became heavy, his pupils gradually dilated, and narrowed sharply, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heartbeat that could maintain a calm heart before the collapse of Mount Tai began to beat violently.

Originally...... You can do it yourself!

Yes, after so many years of forbearance preparation, isn't it just for this day? What am I waiting for?

"But...... My three sons are still in the hands of the imperial court......"

Dao Yan licked his dry lips and said, "The prince still hasn't thought clearly, if you don't rebel, the three princes may be really in danger, if the prince is reversed, they will be safe......"

"Why?"

"Since ancient times, there is always a reason for righteousness, and we are no exception, the Son of Heaven lost his virtue and detained the son of the vassal king, this is one of the reasons for us to raise troops, when the text is announced to the world, the scholars and people of the whole world will be staring at the court, and under the watchful eyes of the people, how dare the court kill the three princes? Isn't this a futile attempt to provoke criticism from all over the world? ”

Zhu Di hesitated for a long time, and when he thought about it, Wei'an's body couldn't stop trembling.

"What if he really dares to kill the king's son? You must know that there is a Xiao Fan by the side of the Son of Heaven, that guy dares to do anything, and no one can guess his ......"

Dao Yan's tone was hurried and gloomy: "Lord Wang, there is no turning back when you open the bow, we have come to this point, and we should continue to break it, but we will suffer from it!" ”

"Really...... Is it the other way around? ”

"It's the other way around!"

Zhu Di's face was cloudy and uncertain, and after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Okay, it's the opposite!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Di collapsed on the chair as if he had collapsed, covered in cold sweat, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and he was a little relieved in his exhaustion.

Duoyan does not borrow troops, the imperial court military system is in full swing, the three sons are detained, all these situations are developing in their own unfavorable direction, if they don't rebel now, when the imperial court army becomes stronger, they have no chance of winning, not against this time, but when?

Dao Yan's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he suddenly stood up, bowed to Zhu Di, and said awe-inspiringly: "Only I will open my eyes all night long, and repay my life for not raising my eyebrows." The poor monk is willing to die for the prince! ”

That night, the messengers of the Yan Wangfu came out frequently, and Zhu Di urgently summoned his generals Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others to enter the palace overnight.

The Yanwang Mansion was much more heavily guarded than Ping, and this movement was sent to the palace to ask what happened by Zhang Yu, the commander of the Beiping Envoy Xie Gui, Zhang Xin and other civil and military generals appointed by the imperial court to Beiping.

King Yan quietly informed that it was the birthday of King Yan's concubine Xu, so the generals under his command came to the palace to celebrate.

So the three of them did not suspect it, and the imperial court sent them to Beiping naturally without the intention of surveillance, but the princess of the family said that this is a very common thing, what is there to doubt?

Only Zhang Xin, the commander of the Beiping capital, heard the report, a complicated meaning flashed in his eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, put down the pen in his hand, and crumpled the secret music dedicated to the imperial court, stretched it out in front of the candle and burned it to ashes.

The great change is brewing, King Yan's rebellion is close at hand, even the Jingshi can feel the low breath, the sky is full of dark clouds, as if the air has condensed into a clump, people can't help but feel depressed, there is a sense of suffocation.

Xiao Fan kept going in and out of the palace these days, and frequently went back and forth to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and discussed the military with Sheng Yong, Ping'an, Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu and others, others could not understand his busyness, only he knew in his own heart that it was the first year of Jianwen, and the rebellion of King Yan was not far away, Zhu Yunwen needed time, the imperial army needed time, and at this moment, time was the most important thing.

If he could be given another year, Zhu Di would be able to calmly suppress even if he rebelled against the court, but unfortunately, Zhu Di would not give him time at all, for him, time is still very important.

Ji Gang was transferred to Zhu Yunwen's side, Xiao Fan also knew, his heart was very heavy, and he wanted to persuade Zhu Yunwen not to reuse this person, but Ji Gang had a meritorious role in protecting Zhu Yunwen and saved Zhu Yunwen's life.

Internal and external troubles are all coming, Xiao Fan is really a little haggard, but he has to face it mentally.

A man with a sense of responsibility is a real man, friends, family, morality, these things force him to work hard all night.

In fact, Xiao Fan himself is also very sad and angry, so sad and angry that he wants to cry,—— I crossed over to the Ming Dynasty to enjoy happiness, how did I get mixed up like this, Huang Yanjing is not busy with me, who am I recruiting to provoke whom?"

In an ordinary liquor shop in Jingshimin Lane, Zhu Yunwen asked Xiao Fan to get drunk.

Zhu Yunwen wanted to get drunk very much, he felt that he was a failed man, as an emperor, his martial arts were not as good as the first emperor, and the emperor's uncle was still staring at his throne and wanted to rebel against him...... Such a failed man, what else can he do except Du Kang to solve his worries?

Fortunately, he also has a friend who can change his life, which is probably the only successful thing in his life.

If you don't have a confidant, it's sad to get drunk.

The guests in the wine shop have been driven away by the brocade guards, and the guards of the forbidden army in civilian clothes are scattered all over the wine shop, faintly surrounding Zhu Yunwen and Xiao Fan in the middle, and no one is allowed to approach.

Ji Gang was also impressively in the crowd of guards, his eyes secretly swept over the two who were pushing the cups and changing the lamps from time to time, and a little jealousy flashed in his eyes.

A glass of wine went down, and a fiery breath surged up in the abdomen.

Xiao Fan paused and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the arrangements for the northern transfer of the Southern Army, the minister wants to ...... to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunwen raised his hand, stopped him, and said, "Don't talk about these official things today, if you have anything to say, you will go to the palace and say it, you have always been a capable minister, and I believe in you." ”

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly: "But I really don't want to discuss with you why you can't always soak in such private matters...... We've talked about this many times. ”

A sad expression appeared on Zhu Yunjun's face: "............"

Xiao Fan looked at his appearance and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, the next holy decree summons her into the palace, forget it, pour a few glasses of wine and overturn her, you can do whatever you want, it was a very simple matter, why do you want to make it so complicated?" ”

Zhu Yunwenjun's face turned red, and he glared: "What I want is her heart, not her body!" ”

"So, you're not going to ask for her body?"

"Of course not! But I have to wait until I get her heart, what do you say, pour her wine, do whatever she wants, how is this different from a beast? ”

"It's better than not getting anything at all......"

"What if I don't get her drunk?"

Xiao Fan said without thinking: "Then a wine jar will smash her unconscious, and then you can do whatever you want......"

Zhu Yunwen paused for a moment and said curiously: "You seem to be quite proficient in this way......

Xiao Fan's eyes suddenly flushed, and he sighed infinitely: "If you don't have experience, you don't have the right to speak, I think,...... I have that say. ”

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, shook his head vigorously and said, "No, you are too inferior, and the gentleman will not take it." ”

Xiao Fan sighed: "I really should have called Ying'er over to listen to this......

Zhu Yun sighed: "What should I do? For her, I don't think about tea and food now, and I don't have the energy to do anything, is this what people call lovesickness? I don't regret the gradual widening of the belt, and I will make people haggard for Yixiao......"

Xiao Fan saw Zhu Yunwen sad like this, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, the dignified Emperor Ming was actually trapped by love, although this kind of thing is not worthy of encouragement, but it also shows his true surname.

"Your Majesty, since Huang Ying has no intention of you, you only have two choices now, either you simply give up, or come to an overlord to make a bow, and I can help you hold down her brother's hands and feet if necessary......"

Zhu Yunwen said sadly: "No, isn't there a common saying among the people?" The twisted melon is not sweet......"

Xiao Fan was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "The twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst......"

Zhu Yunwen looked at him pitifully and said, "Is there a way to be gentle?" It's better to make her like me herself......"

Xiao Fan looked straight and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand very much, do you want her to like you, or do you want her to like you?" The difference between the two is very different......"

"Like, like! Nope! ”

Xiao Fan sighed heavily, he was about to fight, this unlucky child was still in love all day long, no wonder he lost the country in his previous life, if he was born hundreds of years earlier, it is estimated that he could worship Li Yu...... What to do? Give him a hand, who calls himself such an emperor.

With a roll of his eyes, the bad water in Xiao Fan's stomach began to gurgle again.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of 'Heroes Save Beauty'?"

Zhu Yunwen said: "You're too old-fashioned, aren't you?" ”

"The soil is a little dirty, but the tricks of picking up girls are not novel, as long as they are effective, the methods of soil are all good methods."

Zhu Yunwen's heart was moved: "Let's be specific......"

"Your Majesty comes here, this matter can only be whispered, not announced to the public......" Xiao Fan smiled like a typical slanderous minister.

Long...... Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened: "Xiao waiter, you ...... It's really bad......"

"Don't talk about it, you forced me to ruin the opportunity to be a good person again and again......"
