Chapter 639: The Prince's Gift
This is not the first time Zhu Gaochi has come to the Nameless Mansion, but it is the first time he has come to the Nameless Mansion as the crown prince, because he only became the prince yesterday, and it has been less than twelve hours in total.
It stands to reason that Hu Ye should want to visit Zhu Gaochi, after all, he is the Shao Zhan of the East Palace, and he should go to meet his immediate boss, but he came back in a hurry yesterday, and he missed the time in order to see Yingxue as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaochi took the initiative to come to the Nameless Mansion, and everyone showed surprise.
Even if Zhu Gaochi is not the prince, casually coming to the Nameless Mansion shows the importance of Hu Ye, and now Zhu Gaochi is even more expensive as the prince, and being able to come to the Nameless Mansion can only show one problem, that is, Zhu Gaochi values Hu Ye very much and wants to completely win Hu Ye over.
"Weichen Hu Ye, see His Royal Highness the Prince." Hu Ye hurriedly greeted him and said loudly.
"Haha, Fanchang Hou is polite, why should we see each other."
Zhu Gaochi laughed, and then helped Hu Ye up under the gaze of everyone.
Everyone saw this action in their eyes, but they were beating drums in their hearts, and they were all guessing Zhu Gaochi's intentions, such a corporal of Lixian, the intention of solicitation was undoubtedly revealed, but this Zhu Gaochi also had three national princes to assist, this product was not to go to the three national princes to pay a visit, but to find Hu Ye first, this is not to tell others, Hu Ye is what he values the most?
"Ahem, not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, but he also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive his sins." Hu Ye was embarrassed, how did he not understand what Zhu Gaochi meant, from beginning to end, Zhu Gaochi knew his own affairs very clearly, and there was no reason not to know his role, although there may be Zhu Di's meaning in this, but the most important thing is Zhu Gaochi's own thoughts.
"The Marquis of Fanchang won the dragon and phoenix on the night of the New Year, and he is a knight who is rare to see in a hundred years, and my father specially ordered me to send a gift to show my heart." Zhu Gaochi smiled. Then with a wave of his right hand, someone immediately sent something behind him, and Hu Ye fixed his eyes and saw that it was a key.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is..."Hu Ye asked curiously.
"This is the key to the Taiping Fanchang Marquis Mansion, built a year ago by the order of my father, and now it has been completed. Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, although he could still see the horizontal flesh of his chin when he laughed. But compared to when Hu Ye first met Zhu Gaochi, it was much better, presumably in the past few years, Lou Ying's prescription has helped Zhu Gaochi a lot, and he is no longer as obese as Zhu Gaochi in history, and he has to be out of breath when he walks.
Hu Ye knew about the construction of the Fanchang Marquis Mansion, but he didn't know that the high-rise building was completed so quickly.
"Weichen Xie Emperor, Crown Prince."
Hu Ye took the key. Shouted loudly.
"Okay, you continue to carnival, and the palace won't bother."
After giving the key to Hu Ye, Zhu Gaochi patted Hu Ye on the shoulder. With that, he left with a group of guards.
Although Zhu Gaochi did not stay in the Nameless Mansion for a long time, there were many questions for everyone, some were speculating about Zhu Gaochi's true intentions, and some were speculating whether Zhu Di had the idea behind this matter.
Zhu Gaochi left. The Nameless Mansion began to be lively again, especially a few gentlemen, who had a lot of fun. Together with the people, they almost consumed all the drinks in the Nameless Mansion.
But today is a good day, Hu Ye is not ambiguous, since everyone has come to the Nameless Mansion, it means that he can afford to look up to himself, he will not be stingy, the things that should be taken, there will be no less, what are the peanuts, bird tea, those things that ordinary people usually can't eat, today can be said to be full.
Moreover, after the expansion of the Nameless Mansion, the territory is much larger, and it can completely fit everyone when it sits on the dam feast.
However, since Yingxue only gave birth yesterday, it was impossible to come out to meet the guests, but a few stubborn people wanted to go in to see their nephews and nieces, but Hu Ye couldn't stop them.
The carnival was not over until midnight, and everyone left the Nameless Mansion unsatisfied.
Compared with the bright lights of the Nameless Mansion, the Han Palace's Mansion seems to be deserted, originally when Zhu Gaochu met Nanjing, there were still a lot of people to visit, but after yesterday's action, it seems that many people think that Zhu Gaochu has gone to the general trend, and Zhu Gaochi has the assistance of the three major princes, and they all think that Zhu Gaochu has no chance.
"Ying'an, the matter has come to this, do you think we still have a chance to turn over?"
In the Han Palace, Zhu Gaoxu said to Yu Zhongmou next to him while drinking tea.
"King Han, you not only have a chance, but you also have a lot of opportunities."
Yu Zhongmou smiled, the prince is the prince, there are countless princes who have been abolished in history, even if they are emperors, are there fewer who have rebelled and forced the palace?
"Oh? What does this mean? Now my eldest brother is assisted by the three major princes, and there is also a military secretary, as well as the assistance of the Marquis of Fanchang, and more importantly, in this way, there will be more and more people to slap my eldest brother, and I am only afraid when the time comes..."
"King Han, have you forgotten your greatest advantage?" Yu Zhongmou smiled.
"Advantages? You mean my prestige in the military? Zhu Gaoxu asked loudly.
"Yes, it's your prestige in the army." Yu Zhongmou stood up suddenly, then came to the sand table in the room, smoothed out all the sand tables he had made before, and then made a new one and pointed it out to Zhu Gaoxu.
"King Han, if you look at the current Ming Dynasty, it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, although the enemies are not strong, but they are hidden dangers after all. We know this, and the emperor knows it, so for more than a year, the emperor has been recuperating and recuperating, do you know what it is for? Yu Zhongmou put down the benchmark in his hand and suddenly asked Zhu Gaoxu.
"You mean my father is preparing to use troops?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with joy on his face, as long as the troops are mobilized, he will have room to play, and then recruit talents in the army, and the most important thing is that if he can recruit Zhang Yu, his strength will rise, because Zhang Yu is the only prince who has not been assigned to assist the prince, and he is the first general in the army, as long as there is Zhang Yu's support, it is no less than Zhu Gaochi who has the support of the other three princes.
"Yes, it is a matter of time before the army is moved, and for more than a year, the emperor ordered Fujian to supervise the construction of hundreds of ships, which is definitely a precursor to the movement of troops. There is also Mu Chun in Yunnan, who is ready to fight all day long, and Song Sheng in Gansu, who was secretly asked by the emperor to train his troops in order to deal with the Mongols in the north. And the most powerful enemy, is the westernmost Timur Empire, the power of the country, I am afraid that it is not much worse than our Ming Dynasty, once the fight starts, I am afraid that it will not end in a short time, and then it will be the opportunity for His Highness to show his talents. Now what His Royal Highness has to do is to wait with peace of mind, and then secretly win over some undesirable people, but they don't know that the grace of sending charcoal in the snow is more important than icing on the cake, as long as His Royal Highness can give them some benefits, they will become desperate to do things for His Highness, as long as the prince has some irregularities, someone will naturally come out to impeach. Yu Zhongmou analyzed it carefully.
"But my father loves his eldest brother very much, even if he makes a mistake, I'm afraid he won't abolish him." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head helplessly.
"Does His Highness really think that the emperor favors His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more?" Yu Zhongmou sneered.
"Huh?"
"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been wide and fat since he was a child, and the emperor is the dragon and phoenix among people, do you think the emperor will love His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more?"
"Why..."
"First of all, it is a truth that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, even the emperor cannot change it, and secondly, some people often blow wind around the emperor, which will inevitably make the emperor shake his determination." Yu Zhongmou Nannan said.
"Who! Is it the queen mother? ”
Zhu Gaoxu squeezed his fist.
This Weichen didn't dare to say nonsense, the queen is a mother in the world, and her love for all children is far beyond ordinary people. This time, Princess Changning, although she was appointed as a princess by fate, but looking at the queen's love for her, you know the queen's personality. So this matter is definitely not the queen blowing the wind, but someone else. ”
Although Yu Zhongmou is Zhu Gaoxu's strategist, he has nothing to say to Xu Miaoyin, and when Zhu Gaochu wants to doubt the queen, he takes the initiative to defend himself.
"If it's not the queen mother, who can say that the father can move the emperor?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
"This Weichen doesn't know, but he will always show his deeds in the future." Yu Zhongmou said, "And I guess that the emperor finally made the eldest prince the crown prince, and the main reason is that the eldest prince has a good son." ”
"You mean Junki?" Zhu Gaoxu muttered.
"Yes, the minister heard that he was only six years old, and he was able to read through the Analects, which was deeply loved by the emperor, and with the emperor's character, it is not impossible to love the house and Wu."
"Are you saying that my father made my eldest brother the crown prince because of Zhanji?" Zhu Gaoxu said a little incredulously.
"It's not impossible." Yu Zhongmou whispered, "So it is not impossible for His Highness to bring down the crown prince, as long as a few plans are made, it can be carried out in an orderly manner." ”
"What's the plan?"
"First, win over some undesirable people, and they will become your most faithful followers. Second, make more friends with people in the army, they originally thought that His Royal Highness was the best candidate for the crown prince, and he would definitely help His Highness in the future. Third, it is best to divide the prince's Donggong group while they have not yet condensed into an iron plate. ”
"The first two points are not difficult, but this last one, the three princes are loyal to their father, so they have a gap between them and their eldest brother, but I am afraid it is not easy." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head.
"It doesn't have to be the three major princes, isn't there also a military department Shangshu and Fanchang Hou? As far as I know, although the Marquis of Fanchang did the Shaozhan affair of the East Palace, he had absolutely no intention of participating in the struggle for the crown, although he could not let him help His Royal Highness, but it was easy for him not to help the prince. And he is the biggest bargaining chip on His Royal Highness the Prince's side! Yu Zhongmou's face was cold.
"What? Is he the big brother's biggest bargaining chip? Isn't Ying Anmo alarmist? Zhu Gaoxu asked Yu Zhongmou in disbelief. (To be continued......)
