Chapter 499: Emperor Collapse Five

"Your Majesty wants to use me as a reserve, is it really fake?" Zhu Houhuang said in a lost voice.

Empress Dowager Wu said: "The concubine is in the palace, so she shouldn't talk nonsense." Since Your Majesty has this intention, my son will work harder, and he must not fall to another family on the throne. ”

Empress Dowager Wu's face was full of excitement, and she couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but ask: "Queen Mother, didn't you warn the child before that you must not think about it?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "This time and that time. At that time, you didn't have anything, and you didn't understand Your Majesty's thoughts, and you were bent on getting the storage position, maybe you angered Your Majesty, and our King Yong couldn't eat and walk around, now that Your Majesty has this meaning, how can you not work hard, don't tell your mother, you haven't thought about that position? ”

How could you not have thought about it?

Whether Zhu Houhuang is a child of the royal family, he naturally yearns for the throne, or as a time-traveler who wants to change history, being the emperor is also the best choice. Why didn't Zhu Houhuang think about this? It's just that he knows that the chances are slim, and he might as well settle for the next best thing if he presses it up like a bet.

If you want to establish yourself as a reserve in Zhengde, it is false to say that you are not tempted. When he knew the news, Zhu Houhuang felt that his heart was pounding. For a while, he didn't know when to say it, but soon he calmed down, and he knew that even if he wanted the throne, he had to think long-term. Zhu Houhuang immediately said: "Relying on the concubine's words alone is not enough to win the trust, so the child will go to see his uncle, let his uncle initiate a relationship, and see if Jingshi has a wound-like accident." ”

Empress Dowager Wu said, "My son should go quickly." ”

Empress Dowager Wu was also very agitated in her heart, because the queen mother of a vassal king was completely different from the queen mother of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houhuang immediately asked Wu Fengyi to see him, and without saying a word, he handed Concubine Shao's letter to Wu Fengyi and said, "Check the content of this letter to Gu if it is true or false." ”

Wu Fengyi picked it up and looked at it, her face remained unchanged, and she said: "Since Your Majesty asked, the minister is about to tell Your Majesty that there is indeed such a rumor in Beijing, but whether it is true or not, it is not something that the minister can verify." ”

Zhu Houhuang asked, "Why?" ”

Wu Fengyi said: "The content that has been circulated here is what Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, said when he played against His Majesty alone, since there are rumors, I am afraid that the eunuchs and palace maids who are serving on the side have already been dealt with, and they must be verified by His Majesty and Scholar Yang in order to fully confirm, so our strength in Beijing will definitely not be able to do it." ”

Zhu Houhuang also understands this.

Dongyong is not without strength among the Jingshi. Jingshi and Malacca, as well as Dongyong, are all places that Wu Fengyi focuses on monitoring, but a little strength in Jingshi is not enough for him to infiltrate Zhengde, or Yang Tinghe's side.

Watching a lot of spy war movies, it seems that a person can easily enter the enemy's high-level, which is not the same thing at all.

For example, the Yang family. Yang Tinghe and all the servants in the house are from Yang Ting and Sichuan's hometown, Yang Tinghe is more convenient to speak Sichuan dialect at home than to speak official dialect, even if there is a lack of manpower, recruiting a few from the outside, it is just to do some rough words, and it is not close to the vital place at all. Yang Mansion is still like this, let alone Ouchi.

Yes, on the whole, Ouchi is actually not as well-protected as the Yang Mansion. But that's because Ouchi is too big, but the protection around Zhengde is absolutely strict, and investigating the three generations of ancestors is the most basic operation, and the guards and palace maids of Zhengde's identity know very well that once Zhengde has any mistakes, they will all be divided. So it's hard to get into a person's hands.

Zhu Houhuang understood and understood, but he was still absolutely full of irritability, and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Wu Fengyi said: "Your Majesty, you can ask Wang Taifu for verification. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Master Wang, he has no one in the capital. Immediately, Zhu Houhuang suddenly understood that what Wu Fengyi said was not that Wang Yangming had someone in Beijing, but that Wang Yangming had a special network, that is, a network of civil officials and doctors.

There are some news in some circles that cannot be accessed at all, and in some circles, it is not a secret secret. Wang Yangming was born in Jinshi, and he is a native of Jiangnan, plus his father's ancestors, some are high-ranking officials in the imperial court, and he is appreciated by Wang Qiong and Wang Shangshu, and he is destined to have a relationship network, in which it is much easier to verify this news.

Zhu Houhuang felt a little deeply again.

Da Ming is the Da Ming of Wenchen and Doctor, just look at the network.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Go and invite Wang Shi." Immediately, Zhu Houhuang immediately changed his words and said, "That's it, let's go and see Master Wang alone." ”

Zhu Houhuang understands this, Wang Yangming's importance in Zhu Houhuang's heart has risen sharply, he understands these intrigues, killing people without seeing blood, Zhu Houhuang is far inferior to the civil officials of this era, so if Zhu Houhuang wants to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he must also rely on civilian officials and doctors. And the one who can be Zhu Houhuang's arm is Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming originally lived in the Yongwang Mansion, and later after taking over the Changshi, he moved to the Changshi Mansion opposite the Yongwang Mansion, and the two mansions were just separated by a street, although this street was the most prosperous street in the entire Dongyong.

When Zhu Houhuang arrived at the Changshi Mansion, Wang Yangming was already waiting there.

Wang Yangming said: "The minister greets His Highness. ”

Zhu Houhuang immediately stepped forward to support Wang Yangming and said, "Master Wang doesn't have to be polite. ”

Wang Yangming and Zhu Houhuang joined hands to enter the Changshi Mansion, as Zhu Houhuang expected, in the Changshi Mansion, many people were too busy to put their feet on the ground, these people are Wang Yangming's disciples, Wang Yangming taught the disciples around him while letting them practice in Dongyong, but there are few thoughts of going out, most of them will return to Daming to rely on the imperial examination, and they can't look down on the little Dongyong.

In Wang Yangming's room, Wang Yangming wanted to give up the main position, but Zhu Houhuang resolutely refused, saying: "The disciple is here, it is the disciple to meet the teacher, how can he take the lead?" ”

It took a while for the two sides to sit down.

Zhu Houhuang immediately made a look and let everyone retreat, Zhu Houhuang said, "Please also ask Master Wang to save me." "When you have finished speaking, you have to kneel down.

Wang Yangming was taken aback, although he accepted Zhu Houhuang as a disciple, but Zhu Houhuang was a prince after all, how could he really let Zhu Houhuang kneel. immediately helped Zhu Houhuang up and said: "Your Highness, you have killed the old minister, I don't know what Your Highness has to make the old minister worry, and I ask Your Highness to make it clear that if the old minister can do it, he will go all out, and there will be no excuse." ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't talk nonsense, and presented the two letters of Tang Yin and Concubine Shao with both hands.

Wang Yangming took it and looked at it, and before he could read a few words, his brows tightened, and then he slowly let go. After a long time, he read the two letters in his hand, word by word, and gently placed them on the table, Wang Yangming asked softly: "I don't know what His Highness wants?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "The disciple should not have the delusion of non-separation, but I don't know if the imperial brother has this intention, if the imperial brother has this good intention, the disciple will not live up to the royal brother's kindness, the disciple thinks about the place, the matter in the concubine's letter, is true or false." ”

Wang Yangming said: "It's true. ”

Zhu Houhuang was overjoyed at first, and then puzzled: "How did Master Wang know about this?" ”

Wang Yangming said: "Lord Tang's letter told the minister, now there are two hot discussions in the court, one is the impeachment of His Royal Highness, the other is the matter of establishing a prince, not the minister underestimates His Royal Highness, what His Royal Highness does is just a matter of corners and corners for the Ming Dynasty, and the matter of the establishment of the prince is related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty, the importance of the two things, can not be said at all, how can they be compared?" Unless these two things are simply one thing. Therefore, what Concubine Shao said is eighty percent true. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Please also ask Master Wang for guidance." ”

Wang Yangming twisted his beard slightly, was silent for a while, and said, "Your Highness, do you really want to go to the troubled waters of Beijing?" ”

Zhu Houhuang pondered for a while, he really couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart, and said: "If the imperial brother doesn't have this intention, he won't dare to covet it. But the royal brother is expected to be lonely, how can loneliness hurt the heart of the royal brother. I also asked Master Wang to help me. ”
