The news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death on Chinese New Year's Eve is like a bombshell, causing an uproar throughout the country, and from ancient times to the present, the death of the emperor is a major event, because it involves not only the selection of the new emperor, but also the replacement of the court.

And for this, the biggest shock is naturally Zhu Di, because the moment he was waiting for has finally arrived. As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang dies, he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore, who else in the world can stop him from becoming the emperor? Just that stinking nephew?

Therefore, when Zhu Di learned the news of his father's death, he immediately summoned everyone to Yanwang's Mansion to discuss major matters.

"Your Highness, I see that the current situation is not stable, and it is the time to do something."

Liu Sheng has a fighting heart, since the last time he went to Mobei to fight, he felt itchy hands, and now that Zhu Yuanzhang has died, Zhu Yunwen has not yet ascended the throne, it is the time to pull the flag and rebel.

"What do you think?"

The excitement in Zhu Di's heart was not weaker than that of Liu Sheng, but as the king of Yan, he had to combine many opinions. And Monk Daoyan is his most relied on adviser, so naturally he wants to listen to what he means.

"Your Highness, there is something strange about it, think about it in the long run."

Monk Daoyan just said a word, but he expressed the worry in his heart.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang die as soon as Zhu Yunwen came back from the expedition? Is it because there is no worry in my heart, I can't afford to get sick? Even if you are sick, it is not possible to die in a few days, right?

Zhu Di looked at Monk Daoyan, who usually instigated him to rebel the most, counted Monk Daoyan, but he didn't expect that this thing is the calmest now, even if he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had died, he let Zhu Di think about it in the long run.

"Your Highness, Yezi said that only after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and ordered the withdrawal of the feudal domain was the best time to do it. Although now the emperor is dead. Nanjing is not necessarily unprepared, and Geng Bingwen has been stationed in the Yangtze River, obviously the old emperor has been prepared for a long time. If we raise our troops now, we are very likely to be hit. Zhang Fu believes in Hu Ye very much, since Hu Ye said that he would wait until Zhu Yunwen cut the domain before making a move, it would be wisest to wait until that time.

Zhu Di also knew that Zhang Fu was reasonable, and his father transferred the only reusable general in the DPRK to the Yangtze River before he died, not without the intention of guarding against him. And now it is still during the national mourning, if you do it at this time, I am afraid that it will be unknown.

"Your Highness. Looking at the stars at night, although Ziwei Star is weak, but there is no sign of falling, I think there is something strange in it. Jin Zhong also sighed, the old emperor died too suddenly, a few days ago he was still strategizing in the palace, commanding Mu Chun to test Yunnan, and commanding Liaodong to guard against the Japanese invaders, why did he suddenly die now? Could it be that Zhu Yunwen can't wait to be the emperor?

"What? You mean I'm going to wait? ”

Although Zhu Di knew that these people had a point. But he has been looking forward to this imperial brother for too long, his father finally died, he doesn't want to miss this opportunity just like that, once Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne and becomes the emperor. He only waited until Zhu Yunwen cut the domain before he became famous.

"Your Highness, the minister has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible." Zhang Fu had a plan. whispered.

"Come on."

"Your Highness, since the old emperor is dead now, His Highness can go to Beijing to offer condolences. In this way, you can get a glimpse of what is real and what is real. Zhang Fu said his thoughts, but he also knew that this was a great risk, if this was a game set up by Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di would go and not return.

"My father had an edict, and after his death, he did not allow any vassal king to return to Beijing to mourn, because he didn't want the vassal king to take this opportunity to lead troops into Beijing to rebel." Zhu Di sighed, he thought about taking the army to Nanjing under the pretext of mourning.

"Your Highness, the law is dead, people are alive, no one can stop a son from going to his Laozi's funeral, as long as His Highness does not bring an army, and the purpose of this trip is only to find out the truth."

"But what if this is a trap, Your Highness?" Qiu Fu opened his mouth and said.

"I don't believe my nephew would have such a careful mind." Zhu Di slapped the table, then stood up, "Wen Bi, you take a hundred people, go to Nanjing with me, and set off immediately!" ”

Zhu Di was a man of his word, and he took more than 100 people from Zhang Fu out of Beiping that afternoon and ran all the way to Nanjing.

This time, he is not a Yan King who wants to rebel, but just a son who wants to mourn his father.

Zhu Di's Spring Festival is on the way, Hu Ye's Spring Festival is in the house, Nanjing has been very dull these days, the Ministry of Rites is formulating Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral, as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the funeral must be grand.

The Zongren Mansion is formulating to change the burial of those concubines, and there are people making trouble in front of the Zongren Mansion every day, those concubines don't want to die, and their sons don't want them to die. But the patriarchy is the patriarchal law, and no one is allowed to interfere.

In order to maintain the majesty of the Zongren Mansion, Zhu Yunwen ordered that the concubines and princes who made trouble be locked up, and after the Zongren Mansion set the list, those concubines would die together on the day his grandfather was buried.

Although he couldn't hear the cries of those concubines in the palace, Hu Ye knew that the death of every emperor was accompanied by more blood, and the death of the concubine was a trivial matter, and what appeared next was a major event.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had left a lot of means in front of him, and Geng Bingwen on the side of the Yangtze River was just a precaution on the surface, and he knew that if Zhu Di couldn't help but do it at this time, the biggest possibility would be to become a vassal king in history who failed to rebel.

He now wants to inform Zhu Di not to think about it, but he can't, because Qingtian Street has been heavily guarded, I don't know if it is Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning in front of him, or Zhu Yunwen's meaning, anyway, Hu Ye is unable to leave an inch.

"Hey, the affairs of the Zhu family are a mess, and Lao Tzu is too lazy to take care of it."

Hu Ye was lying on the bed, now it's up to Zhu Di and his group of advisers, Hu Ye hopes that they won't do anything stupid, otherwise once they rebel, Zhang Fu will also be buried with him, and his little girlfriend who hasn't seen him for a long time will also be tragic.

Just when Hu Ye was worried, Zhu Di had already led people to the Sanjiang camp, and when he arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, he could see Geng Bingwen's army on the other side.

Zhu Di didn't dare to forcibly cross the river, because his apparent purpose was to mourn his father, and forcibly crossing the river would become a rebellion.

Geng Bingwen received an order not to allow any vassal king to enter Beijing for funeral, this is not the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang, or Zhu Yunwen's meaning.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, you better go back, the first emperor has an order, and no vassal king is allowed to mourn for his funeral." Geng Bingwen came to the Yangtze River by boat and said to Zhu Di on another boat.

"General Geng, we are also old acquaintances, you know, I brought such a few people, just to see my father, isn't General Geng even able to understand this bit of favor?" Zhu Di asked loudly.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, this is the meaning of the former emperor, forgive Weichen for being difficult to obey, Your Highness should please go back." Geng Bingwen didn't give face at all.

"That's what my father gave you? When did his father die, did he leave a legacy? Zhu Di knew that Geng Bingwen didn't make sense, and he also knew that it was impossible for him to go to Nanjing, so he asked a series of questions.

Geng Bingwen was expressionless, he didn't know if Zhu Di came this time, whether it was really just for Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral, or if he had another purpose, so he had to say, "Your Highness, the order given by the former emperor to Weichen is not to allow any vassal kings to enter Beijing, as for when the first emperor will die, presumably His Royal Highness the imperial grandson has sent someone to inform the vassal kings, as for the edict, after the first emperor is buried, it will naturally be announced to the world." ”

Zhu Di really wanted to kick this Geng Bingwen into the Yangtze River, this is an old stubborn, and he was so bad that he had praised him in front of Zhu Yuanzhang before.

Now, Zhu Di also knew that there was no hope of going to Nanjing, so he took Zhang Fu all the way back to Beiping.

When he returned to Beiping, the edict from Nanjing had arrived, saying that the day of Zhu Yuanzhang's burial had been set, just on January 14, the day before the Lantern Festival. Let the various clans send people back to the funeral, but there is one rule, the vassal king himself is not allowed to enter the capital.

When Zhu Di saw this, he didn't know whose idea it was, but he really wanted to tear the person who came up with the idea to pieces, isn't this just a disguised need to be taken hostage by the son of their vassal king?

He also knew that this was obviously aimed at several of their powerful vassal kings, and he was the first to bear the brunt, and it seemed that his nephew was not simple.

"Your Highness, once you let the prince go to Nanjing, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Monk Daoyan knew how powerful it was, and it was likely that it would be a journey without return.

"But if you don't go, it will make Nanjing suspicious, and they will have a truth."

Zhu Di frowned, this time he took Zhang Fu to Nanjing, he didn't find the truth at all, he could only see the Yangtze River with strict precautions, he knew that this was Zhu Yunwen's precaution against himself, if he didn't send his son to Nanjing this time, I'm afraid it would be more than just suspicious.

"Father, the child is willing to go to Nanjing."

Zhu Gaochi knew that his father was embarrassed, and this was the time for him to worry about his father.

"Father, the child is also willing to go to Nanjing, I don't believe that he dares not to let us come back!" Zhu Gaoxu was full of courage, even his eldest brother volunteered to go to Nanjing, and he was naturally not far behind.

The two elder brothers are going to go, Zhu Gaosui can't sit still, how can he show weakness in front of his brothers.

Even Zhu Gaoxi was a little nervous.

Seeing that his sons were willing to share the burden for himself, Zhu Di was happy in his heart, but he couldn't put his son in danger, if his nephew was really suspicious of himself, wouldn't his sons really be in the mouth of a tiger?

But if he doesn't go, how will the world think of him?

He really wanted to ask Hu Ye what to do now, but Hu Ye was now trapped in Nanjing, and he heard that he couldn't even get out of Qingtian Street, which made him even more upset. (To be continued......)
