After sorting out my thoughts, I told the scholar named Li Xin to inform him, and when His Royal Highness King Yong got up, I wanted to see him. Who knew that after a while, I saw King Yong and Shi Yu hurriedly walking in, and they were neatly dressed, looking a little tired, and they looked like they hadn't slept all night. I was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, it seems that King Yong is in a hurry?

Please sit down with King Yong, talk casually for a few words, and see that King Yong's expression has settled down, then I said: 'May I ask Your Highness, why do you want to ascend to the throne?' ‘

King Yong was stunned for a moment, he had long regarded ascending the throne as something he had to do, in addition to thinking that he deserved such a reward, that is, he felt that no one but himself could make Dayong dominate the world, and he had to disregard his reputation for the sake of Dayong Sheji, but Jiang Zhe asked like this, but he suddenly felt that it was difficult to answer, and he and his subordinates took this matter for granted, but they didn't know how to explain it to Jiang Zhe.

I smiled slightly, this is something I have long discovered, when King Yong persuaded me to submit, he did not explain his own concept at all, which can only show that King Yong's own mind is not clear, the position is not firm, and thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground, if there is no such concept as a foundation, then King Yong's great cause is a pavilion on the water after all.

I continued: 'According to the current situation, the foundation of Dayong has been quite stable, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has occupied the position of the eldest son, and there is no obvious loss of morality, so why should the civil and military officials have to go against the emperor's will and support His Highness, His Royal Highness has military power, and if he forcibly seizes the throne, he will not be immune to the discussion of things, saying that His Highness is plotting against usurpation, and His Highness is certainly wise and martial, but if he leaves a wrong example for future generations, thinking that as long as he has power merits, he can ascend the throne as emperor, then the rebellion can be carried out justifiably. The power of the monarch is questioned, and the role of a stable system is better than that of a holy monarch, so although His Royal Highness's merits are world-renowned, it cannot be a reason for His Highness to seize the throne. ‘

Li Zhen said thoughtfully: "This is probably the reason why the elders of the DPRK and China are unwilling to take the initiative to support my succession to the throne although they value my merits, right?" ‘

I nodded and said: "If I am those elders, watching Dayong from scratch, I must not want to reduce Dayong's power because of civil strife, so it is impossible for them to support His Highness to succeed to the throne, even if His Highness is a better candidate for the prince in their minds, they will not categorically support, at this time most of the people who are willing to support His Highness are for the glory and wealth of the future, only a few people can see through only His Highness ascends the throne, in order to keep Dayong Sheji, those ordinary people do not understand the important surname of His Highness's succession, then His Highness should tell them." ‘

Li Zhen listened to my words and asked, "To tell the truth, this king just feels that he can't hand over the throne to the imperial brother, he is too close to Fengyimen, but the reason is not very clear. ‘

I said solemnly: 'So the first policy of the minister to His Royal Highness is Ming Zhice, now although Dayong is thriving, but there are many hidden worries inside, this hidden worry is Fengyimen, Dayong's worries, not in the Quartet strong enemy, and within the Xiao wall, Fengyimen to benevolence and righteousness as the outside, to the power of the inside, control the harem, under the control of hundreds of officials, in the long run, Fengyimen sooner or later become the curtain to listen to the emperor, His Royal Highness the prince as a prince, do not know the virtue, do not to be obedient and filial piety to the heart of the officials, and Fengyimen colluded closely, in order to stabilize the storage position, If His Royal Highness allows the prince to ascend the throne, not only will his own surname be difficult to protect, and he will destroy the pillars of the country, but also let Dayong Sheji be controlled by women. What's more, to say a word of punishment, the world is not a family and a surname of the world, if Fengyimen is really a good choice, then there is no need for His Royal Highness to eradicate it, but in the opinion of the minister, the disciples of Fengyimen are arrogant and arrogant, do not know the suffering of the world, and are only bent on fighting for power and profit, although the minister is a Chu person, but Liang Wan has been in Southern Chu for many years, and the minister has a good understanding of it, such a group of short-sighted, ignorant and arrogant women If they have the power, they are afraid that the people of the world will suffer for it, or the original Fengyi Sect master is indeed for the country and the people, But now that Fengyimen has degenerated into a tool to seize power, if His Royal Highness can't eradicate the power of Fengyimen, I'm afraid that Dayong will not only fail to unify the world, but will also fall into the hands of women. His Royal Highness, as the prince of Dayong, can see the fall of the society and the suffering of the people, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ignorant of the temptation of power and cannot fulfill the duties of the prince, then it is natural for His Royal Highness to replace him. ‘

Hearing this, Li Zhen's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Mr. really said through the thoughts of this king, and this king also thinks so, but it has never been so clear and clear, yes, if it weren't for the existence of Fengyi Gate, what is wrong with me being a peaceful prince." ‘

I smiled slightly, and didn't care about the truth in Li Zhen's words, anyway, it didn't matter.

I said lightly: "Mingzhi can make His Highness firm in his mind, please Rong Chen first explain the current situation for His Highness, now His Highness feels embattled, is because of the close relationship between the emperor, the crown prince, the King of Qi, and Fengyimen, so that His Royal Highness has no way to start, but in the minister's opinion, first of all, they are not integrated, the emperor, the prince, and the king of Qi are not as defenseless as His Royal Highness imagined for Fengyimen, and it is only because of their own selfishness that they condone the existence of Fengyimen, if the emperor is not jealous, then Concubine Ji will not have no heirs, Over the years, the emperor's harem has been quite petted, and more than a dozen princesses and princesses have been born, which shows that the emperor is in good health, but Concubine Ji has no heirs. As the saying goes, the mother is more expensive than the son, and the son is precious to the mother, since ancient times, there are not a few who kill their wives and children because of their love for the concubine, if it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince is also afraid of Fengyimen, I'm afraid the prince would have fallen out of favor long ago, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi, although His Royal Highness married the concubine, but if she was like leaving, I have seen the King of Qi, from the physiognomy, although the King of Qi is surnamed Fengliu, but it is still a little strange to snub the concubine like this, so the emperor They are not very trusting of Fengyimen, It's just that if there is no Fengyi Gate, they will not have the capital to fight against His Highness. ‘

Secondly, although the emperor prefers the prince, but if the prince endangers the society, the emperor will not tolerate the prince no matter how much he prefers it, so although His Royal Highness King Yongwang has been in danger over the years, he is still as stable as Mount Tai, because His Royal Highness is the pillar of the great Yongqing sky, and the emperor will never let the prince hurt His Highness, as long as His Royal Highness does not violate the emperor's bottom line, then His Royal Highness's safety is guaranteed, as long as His Royal Highness gets rid of the prince, the emperor is angry and angry, and he can only pass the throne to His Highness. Therefore, His Royal Highness must control all power during the reign of the Emperor, so that His Highness can justifiably ascend the throne. ‘

In the end, the prince relied on the king of Qi, the king of Qi supported the prince, His Royal Highness may think that they are an inseparable alliance, but it seems that the minister may not be without suspicion, from the information collected by His Royal Highness, the prince is not a person who can tolerate people, the king of Qi is surnamed Feiyang, even in front of the prince is often revealed, just to deal with His Royal Highness, the prince only enveloped the king of Qi, the minister learned from the intelligence that the prince had been because of the defeat of the king of Qi and the king of Qi snubbed for a long time, only recently because of His Royal Highness began to show favor to the king of Qi again. His Royal Highness the King of Qi is like a mirror, how can he not know the prince's unkindness, but the King of Qi is a last resort, because His Royal Highness himself is the general who leads the army to fight, so in the eyes of the King of Qi, if His Royal Highness ascends the throne, then he will no longer have room to play his strengths, in fact, this minister has to face His Royal Highness, the so-called son of a daughter, he can't sit down, His Royal Highness has made outstanding military achievements, and he should cultivate generals, why bother to compete with his subordinates for credit, not to mention, His Royal Highness will rule the world in the future, and he can't just focus on the military, If there is no one who can conquer the Quartet on behalf of His Highness, do you still want His Highness to go down and conquer in person? ‘

Speaking of which, I saw Li Zhen looking at Shi Yu with some surprise, and Shi Yu was full of approval, it seems that he had also admonished him like this.

After a pause, seeing that Li Zhen had already shown a look of agreement, I continued: "The minister has explained the situation to His Highness, then Your Highness, please listen to the second strategy of the minister's explanation - the heart strategy, although the current Highness is critical, but the enemy still has suspicions, in the opinion of the minister, the biggest weakness of the alliance formed by His Royal Highness's enemies lies in His Royal Highness the Prince, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot make mistakes, otherwise the emperor will inevitably doubt his decision, the King of Qi must be worried about his future, and Fengyimen has also lost the basis for confronting His Highness, so as long as the prince makes a mistake, Then His Royal Highness can make that alliance fall apart, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a stupid person, and there are advisers around him to advise, it is not easy to make the prince make mistakes, so we must start from two aspects, one is to install one of our people next to the prince, this person must be able to gain the trust of the prince, so that the prince obeys his words, and second, His Royal Highness must let the prince occupy the superficial advantage, so that the prince will get carried away and destroy the Great Wall. ‘

Li Zhen frowned and said: "There is still a way for us to show weakness, but how to insert such a person around the prince, the prince is still very careful about this matter, although we have a few people around the prince, but none of them can participate in the secret." ‘

I chuckled and said, "Since the minister has said it, there is naturally a way, as long as His Royal Highness can provide a suitable candidate, the minister will naturally be able to make the prince trust him, and even obey him." This person must be good at currying favor with the prince, and must be able to solve problems for the prince, in short, he must have the ability to replace the status of the prince's think tank Lu Jingzhong, under the planning of the minister, this person will become the prince's favorite henchman who can not leave at any time, and His Royal Highness can indulge the prince, if the prince is in control, His Royal Highness can clear the universe, shake the dynasty, why worry about not inheriting the unification. ‘

Li Zhen's expression was shocked and confused, and he thought for a while and said: "How easy it is to control the prince, not to mention Lu Jingzhong, even Fengyimen will not let us succeed easily." ‘

I smiled and said: "The minister said that controlling the prince is not to control the life and death of the prince, but to control the prince's thoughts, as long as the prince acts according to our plan, no matter what the prince originally thinks, it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness can rest assured, the minister has a feasible plan, although there will inevitably be some twists and turns along the way, but as long as we achieve our goal, we can ensure that Your Highness is safe and worry-free." ‘

Li Zhen said: "We will talk about the details later, since Mr. is sure, then Li Zhen can rest assured, but after controlling the prince, what should we do?" ‘

I smiled and said: "I don't do anything, just let the prince be jealous of King Qi, the prince is a person like him, his surname is suspicious, now he is jealous of His Royal Highness's achievements, he said that he will inevitably be jealous of King Qi, the minister just let this kind of thing happen early, as long as the prince thinks that he has suppressed His Royal Highness, then it will naturally be revealed, and I will arrange to lure the prince to do some arrogant wrong things, in less than two years, the prince will become a tyrant in the eyes of the world, the prince is immoral, and there is anyone who can compete with His Royal Highness for the prince, then Fengyimen must be very difficult, At that time, the minister and His Royal Highness will discuss carefully, and they must make Fengyimen no longer control the government. ‘

Li Zhen's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and he thought to himself, Jiang Zhe really skipped people, why didn't I think that the strongest point of the enemy is weakness, the prince is the core of their alliance, if something happens to the prince, then their alliance will naturally collapse, although he doesn't know the specific plan yet, but Li Zhen has already swept away the depression and worry in his heart. He stood up, bowed and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and thank you for your teachings." ‘

I got up and saluted: "Your Highness has a good reputation, and please ask Your Highness to listen to the third policy of the ministers - Na Xian Ce, although His Royal Highness is known as a virtuous name, and he has many martial arts under his command, but in the opinion of the ministers, there are still some deficiencies, since His Royal Highness has ambitions in the world, then it is necessary to consider how to govern the government, and now the hundred officials in the court and Fengyimen are more involved, if His Royal Highness ascends the throne, or appoint these people, then it will inevitably make Fengyimen have the possibility of resurgence." ‘

Li Zhen frowned and said: "I also know this, but if it is changed suddenly, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will be turbulent and the wealthy will rebel, and my Dayong will be destroyed in an instant." ‘

I said lightly: 'His Royal Highness will be so important to the civil and military officials, but ignore the military and the people's hearts, over the years, His Royal Highness has conquered, invincible, repeatedly opened his eyes for the people, who in the world does not know, but at the beginning of the founding of Dayong, relying on a lot of local heroes, at that time this practice certainly accelerated the process of unification, but now these heroes occupy the people's land, do not pay taxes, as far as I know, many civilians have lost their fields, have to rely on the family as slaves, the world all hate the strong and strong, but His Royal Highness to the strong army as a reason, Civilians are allowed to open up wasteland and farm, and the fields nominally belong to the army, but in fact belong to the people, so many young and strong men are willing to join the army, so that their families can get the land, which is also a reason why the powerful in the DPRK is inclined to the prince, if His Royal Highness tolerates this situation, there will eventually be a day, Dayong will fall into the situation of the princes, it is better to take advantage of the current time to compete for the crown, let these heroes be involved, His Royal Highness will use this as a reason to clean the world's wealthy families, appoint the talents of the poor family, and rebuild Dayong, as long as His Royal Highness plans properly, These wealthy families have no chance to rebel, although in this way Dayong will inevitably be weakened in the short term, but as long as a few years, Dayong can be reborn and become the real first power. ‘

Li Zhen listened attentively, he also knew these drawbacks, but he repeatedly wanted to propose reforms, but they were suppressed, which is also a reason why he wanted to get the throne, originally he wanted to take the throne and slowly try to do it, although Jiang Zhe's plan was ruthless, but it could not hurt Dayong's bones, after all, the battle for the throne, involving more than 100,000 people is not nothing, as long as you do it skillfully, you can clear most of the wealthy families, and then add your own talents to the court, within ten years, you can make Dayong no longer controlled by the giants.

After thinking about it, Li Zhen got up again and said: "The first two strategies, although this king can ascend to the throne, this king just admires, but this strategy can make Dayong Sheji healthy, this king on behalf of my Dayong royal family, the people of the world, thank you." ‘

I got up and saluted: 'Your Highness is willing to listen to the minister's wild words, it should be the minister who has thanked His Highness on behalf of the people of the world, the minister is the common people, and knows more about the suffering of the people, and His Highness is willing to open his eyes for the people, which is a great blessing for all the people. ‘

After sitting down, I said: 'Eradicating the wealthy is only part of this strategy, if there is no virtuous person to assist, the court is empty, how can His Highness govern the world, so His Royal Highness should recruit talented people and govern the world, if you are worried about the suspicion of the emperor and the crown prince, Your Highness can ask the emperor for the territory, and then His Royal Highness will appoint talents within his own territory, reserve talents, and wait until His Royal Highness ascends the throne, so that they can fully take over government affairs. ‘

Li Zhen said: "This king has been fighting outside, although my father gave me Youzhou as a fief, and Pei Ji, the governor of Youzhou, is the king's confidant, and the management of the territory is in good order, but cultivating talents, I'm afraid it's not his strength, Mr. see how to deal with it." ‘

I smiled and said: "Your Highness is worried that if Pei Ji is replaced, it will hurt the hearts of his subordinates, in fact, there is no need to worry, His Highness can start His Majesty and let the prince go to Youzhou to guard, and then you can send Mr. Shi to assist the prince, Mr. Shi is the head of the Shuai Mansion, His Royal Highness can promote Pei Ji's position, it is best to transfer Pei Ji back to His Highness, and then, Mr. Shi can recruit talents for His Highness, His Highness has seen the talents, and it is easy to be suspicious if he stays by his side, it is better to send them to Youzhou temporarily, so that they can be familiar with government affairs, of course, Mr. Shi should guide well, Let them be able to take over the government immediately in the future, and when His Highness gives an order, they can enter Beijing as officials. ‘

Li Zhen couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, although he was very happy about Jiang Zhe's submission, but Jiang Zhe's temptation a few years ago still made him a little suspicious, but now Mingzhi, heart, and Xian made him feel that all the pain of the previous days had been rewarded, if it wasn't for his own devotion to the Magi, how could he hear such a plan. He tried his best to say calmly: 'In this case, I will entrust everything to Mr., and Ziyou will go to Youzhou to establish a foundation for this king. ‘

Shi Yu naturally understood that he had a great responsibility, but he was a little worried, if this was the case, almost all of the courtiers of the new monarch in the future would be his protégés, then he would have too much authority, he glanced at Jiang Zhe with some concern, after all, it was not good to say it to King Yong.

I was prepared and said: 'Your Highness, Mr. Shi has a great responsibility, and the prince has no one to take care of and discipline, so it is better for His Highness to choose another merit and be responsible for assisting and teaching the son, so that Mr. Shi can also be more relaxed, so as not to delay the study of the son.' ‘

Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "In this way, Gao Rong, the uncle of the prince, is shrewd and capable, and Chu Wenyuan, the son of Taifu Chu Ping, has good morals and talents, and can assist the prince, so that Ziyou can concentrate on recruiting talents." ‘

Shi Yu was relieved at this time, and said: "Ziyou will definitely do his best, please rest assured, once His Royal Highness orders to Youzhou, Ziyou will definitely return in the starry night, and all the affairs in Beijing will be entrusted to Suiyun, please bother with Suiyun." ‘

I also said solemnly: 'Mr. Shi, rest assured, since Suiyun has set a strategy, he will definitely do it, otherwise I will not only be sorry for His Highness, but also sorry for Mr. Shi's painstaking efforts in Youzhou. ‘

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Okay, we have been talking for so long, this king feels hungry, why don't we go to eat first, and then the two gentlemen have a good rest, otherwise the two of you will be tired, who will give advice to this king?" With Ziyou, this king has no worries, and with Suiyun, this king no longer has to be afraid of those ghosts. ‘

I shook my head and said, "Your Highness is not right," looking at Li Zhen and Shi Yu's surprised looks, he said: "Your Highness is Guangfeng Jiyue, how could you have been afraid of those villains, but you have no plan to sweep away the filth, the minister is just some conspiracies, the gentleman can't deal with it, the minister can do it." ‘

Li Zhen looked at me with a sincere face, and his heart was moved, but he didn't know what to say. Hehe, I don't think he would have guessed that although some of me are true, but some of them are just flattery, if Li Zhen is a pure gentleman, I am afraid that he is not qualified to be the emperor.
