"Hu Ye, is what you said today true?"

After Zhu Di and his party came to the inner hall, Zhu Di sat on a chair in the middle of the room and asked Hu Ye with some displeasure.

"Back to Your Highness, everything is true, I have said everything, my master taught me to be an honest person." Hu Ye spread his hands and said.

"I didn't expect that I, Zhu Di, boasted of being well-governed, but I didn't even know the suffering of the people, I was really ashamed of the people of Beiping." Zhu Di listened to Hu Ye's joke, not only did not laugh, but became more contemplative.

"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself, some things are inevitable. The matter of deducting pensions is inevitable even during the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, and even in a certain Celestial Empire country described by my master, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Therefore, it is only possible to crack down, but it is impossible to put an end to it. Hu Ye comforted Zhu Di, he found that Zhu Di really blamed himself at this time, and that kind of attitude couldn't be pretended.

"As for the matter of collecting protection money, His Highness is even more powerless in this kind of matter. It is not easy for His Royal Highness to control your tens of thousands of palace guards, how can it be possible to manage more than 100,000 soldiers in Beiping, even in the capital Nanjing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this kind of thing happens from time to time. Therefore, it is not enough to severely punish these people who fish and flesh the people, the most fundamental thing is to increase the income of the people. ”

"Hey, it's all the king's fault." Zhu Di sighed again, and then said, "Originally, I wanted to win over Commander Zhou today, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." This is good, he is completely hostile to Zhou Yi, and there will be trouble in the future. ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, I see that you are doing the right thing today. If these people are allowed to indulge in this way, the people of Beiping will definitely be turned into a miasma. At that time, even if you get Zhou Yi's support? If someone from Nanjing besieges Beiping, which side does His Highness think this group of people in dire straits will they toward? So I think that the hearts of the people are definitely more important than Zhou Yi's support. Hu Ye said.

Hu Ye is not without a target, he remembers that when Jingjing was martyred, Zhu Di led the army to the battle, and Beiping was surrounded by soldiers from Nanjing.

At that time, if it weren't for the people of Beiping supporting Zhu Di and helping Zhu Di's wife and son defend the city, Beiping would have been broken by the Southern Army long ago. At that time, Zhu Di will become a homeless person, and at that time, it will really be called heaven and earth.

Having said that, Zhou Yi always has hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers in his hands, guarding the gates of all parties in Beiping. Even if the people are biased towards me, I will be powerless to resist with the tens of thousands of guards in the palace. Zhu Di said helplessly.

"Hehe, Your Highness's words are wrong, I think it's a good thing to offend Zhou Yi, and it seems that I haven't offended enough today, I should kill that Zhou Kai, so that Zhou Yi will become His Highness's enemy completely." Hearing Zhu Di's helplessness, Hu Ye said with a wicked smile.

"Yezi, don't be rude, His Royal Highness King Yan has completely offended Zhou Yi for you today, how can you still fall into the ground."

Zhang Fu solemnly reprimanded Hu Ye, in his opinion, Zhu Di was already very partial to Hu Ye, and Hu Ye seemed to be a little pampered, so it was not okay to go on like this.

Zhu Di stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhang Fu's blame, but looked at Hu Ye very curiously, he knew that Hu Ye would hold on to the Zhou family and would definitely have a plan, so he said curiously, "What a good method, you can talk about it." ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, if you are the grandson of the emperor and find out that there is a vassal king who wants to rebel, and the commander of the vassal king's fief is still colluding with the vassal king, what is the first thing you do when you ascend the throne?"

Hu Ye did not answer Zhu Di's question, but asked a question.

"Of course, it is a change of commander, if the commander colludes with the vassal king, the two forces are combined into one, it is definitely a big liliang." Zhu Di said very decisively, and Zhang Fu and Zhang Yu next to him also nodded frequently, it seems that they also have the same idea as Zhu Di.

"Since His Royal Highness can think of it, there is no reason why the imperial grandson doesn't think so. So if His Royal Highness and Zhou Yi get too close, then the first thing the imperial grandson will do when he ascends the throne is to remove Zhou Yi's commander. Then the commander of Beiping will be replaced, and won't His Highness's efforts be in vain? Hu Ye said.

"Sss Zhu Di gasped, but he didn't think about this, he just thought that it would be easy to win over Zhou Yi, and he didn't think about changing the commander.

"But there's no need to offend Zhou Yi like this." Zhu Di said puzzled.

"Of course, it must be completely offended. Only by completely offending Zhou Yi can it be possible to throw Zhou Yi to the opposite side of His Highness. In this way, the imperial grandson can think that Zhou Yi and His Royal Highness are mortal enemies, so that Zhou Yi can rest assured that he will guard Beiping. Hu Ye explained.

In fact, these Hu Ye also have a hint of speculation, in history, Zhu Yunwen did remove the original commander after registration, and replaced his two henchmen. It was probably because he was not at ease with the original commander, so Hu Ye concluded that as long as the contradiction between the original commander and Zhu Di intensified, Zhu Yunwen would not change the commander.

"But after all, Zhou Yi has hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers in his hands, even if he knows him better, it won't help." After listening to Hu Ye's analysis, Zhu Di also knew that there was not much benefit to winning over Zhou Yi, so he could only say helplessly.

"Hehe, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this matter, I think that once Your Highness gets into trouble, at least half of the people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will defect and become His Royal Highness King Yan." Hu Ye said a little profoundly.

"Is that true?" Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this, but when he thought about it, it was not possible, and how could the people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies listen to his words.

Even Zhang Fu and Zhang Yu opened their mouths in shock, every word that Hu Ye said was so shocking and crying.

"Of course it's true, but His Highness still has a long way to go to get to this point. Last night, I watched the sky at night, and I counted that His Highness still had about three years left to complete all this, because at that time, the Imperial Grandson would begin to abolish His Highness's title of vassal king. Hu Ye deliberately pinched his fingers, pretending to be a master.

"Zhang Fu!" After listening to Hu Ye's words, Zhu Di suddenly felt that Hu Ye was too reasonable, so he said to Zhang Fu next to him, "Quickly go and call Dao Yan and Jin Zhong, and say that there is something important to discuss." ”

Zhang Fu took the order and walked out of the inner hall, and when he left, he stared at Hu Ye with the eyes of a monster. He didn't expect that Hu Ye's little head would contain so many things, from such a trivial matter as Zhou Kai bullying his maidservant, he actually made such a big game of chess for King Yan.

In fact, Zhang Fu thought too much, when Hu Ye beat Zhou Kai at the beginning, he really didn't think about it so much, just because he was bullied to the head, how to do it if he didn't fight back. And this move was also improvised when Zhang Fu told him that Zhu Di wanted to win over the commander.

After sending Zhang Fu out, Zhu Di took a sip of tea, suppressed the shock, and then pretended to be calm and said to Hu Ye, "Hu Ye, tell me how to make those people turn to my side." ”
