At the beginning, Zhu Di made a storm in the city in order to move the capital to Shuntian, and how many officials shed blood. It is for the Son of Heaven to guard the country, so that the children and grandchildren cannot be comfortable in Nanjing, and they have endured wind and rain in the Forbidden City. Even in order to fight against the north, he personally conquered Tatar Arutai, and finally died of illness in Yumuchuan, with all his efforts, is this why Zhu Gaochi gave up?

"Your Majesty, moving the capital to Shuntian, when Hong Wuye was there, he sent people to Shuntian to investigate, and the first emperor also lost too much for moving the capital, Your Majesty cannot be easily shaken."

"Otherwise, the north is bitterly cold, and there is really no atmosphere of the national capital. In the past, it was forced by the pressure of the imperial examination and had to obey, but in reality, the foreign enemy in the north was too close and could be captured at any time, so the Ming Dynasty was in danger. Moreover, just after the capital was moved, a fire fell from the sky, and the palace suffered such a big loss, and it has not been renovated until now, and even the last dynasty can only be simplified, isn't it a joke for foreign envoys. Zhu Gaochi said it reasonably, indeed, the fire caused serious damage to the palace, and it is really embarrassing that the last dynasty can still hear the sound of the palace being repaired next to it.

Zhu Di knew the cause of the fire, but Zhu Gaochi didn't know that the statement given by his father was God's punishment, and the fire caused by thunder made Zhu Gaochi feel that the relocation of the capital was indeed caused by the courtiers at that time, and it was God who acted perversely and punished him because of the relocation of the capital.

Zhu Gaochi has always thought that moving the capital is a waste of money and labor, and he has always opposed it in his heart, so he is very disgusted in his consciousness, and he wants to go back when he is in power. The Nanjing Palace is still there, but it is a different place to work.

"Your Majesty, moving the capital for thousands of miles will cost you a lot, please think twice."

"Retreat, you don't have to persuade again, I have made up my mind. The north is not prosperous, wars are frequent, or the south is stable. ”

Chen Yuan looked at his resolute eyes, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only use the strategy of delaying the army, and said: "Your Majesty, moving the capital to make trouble is big, the prince is in Beijing to manage the government, you can't go out easily, please send other princes." "The crown prince went to Nanjing, coupled with the emperor's will, and most of the ministers missed the south, this had to be moved back. Send other princes first, as long as Zhu Zhanji is still in Shuntian, temporarily stabilize.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You're right, I'm not in good health, and my body can't do without the prince, should I send a prince, who should I send?" ”

"Prince Yunwen Yunwu, you can complete the task." Chen Yuandao, the prince in his mouth, is Zhu Zhandong, now eighteen years old, is the age of his prime, acting decisively, treating people kindly, and is quite popular with everyone.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Zhan Dong, this kid has my demeanor, not bad, you can go to Nanjing." He exaggerated Zhu Zhandong, from the heart.

Chen Yuan sighed in his heart, Zhu Zhan Feng is good, he does have Zhu Gaochi's benevolent and righteous demeanor, but the position of the crown prince has been decided, and Zhu Zhan is not the eldest son. Usually, fathers like to be like their own sons and cause a lot of trouble, and the emperor of a country can't do it, which is the source of chaos.

Zhu Gaochi actually didn't hesitate, he didn't want to target his two younger brothers, for fear of fratricide, and Zhu Zhanji's treatment of the two uncles disappointed him. It can be said that Zhu Zhanji was cultivated by his father, like his father, and Zhu Zhanji was cultivated by himself, like himself. He was afraid of fratricide, but Zhu Zhan was merciful and would deal with the two uncles properly.

"You go to meet the King of Han and the King of Zhao and convey my meaning."

Zhu Gaochi turned around, turned his back to Chen Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "You tell them that I don't want what happened more than 20 years ago to happen again, I always remember that we were born to the same father and the same mother, and I hope they will remember it too." The throne and title are all the same, if you can remember the brotherly love and remember the law of the ancestors, then the brothers will be at ease and no longer suspicious. ”

"The minister commands."

Chen Yuan went out of the Qianqing Palace, first went to see Zhu Zhanji, and told His Majesty that he was going to move the capital.

Zhu Zhanji was not surprised, and said: "When the emperor's grandfather was on the northern expedition, my father proposed to move back to Nanjing many times. ”

"It took the first emperor a lifetime to move the capital to Shuntian, and only the prince knows the deep meaning of the first emperor in this matter, so please make a plan."

Zhu Zhanji sighed: "Chen Yuan, you don't know, I was raised by the emperor's grandfather, his old man moved the capital, and the Son of Heaven guarded the country, how could I not know that the emperor's grandfather was working hard." But you don't know, my father appointed me as the crown prince because of the situation, and he prefers the fifth brother in his old man's heart. ”

The chuckle in Chen Yuan's heart became even more obvious, and he said: "Your Highness is wise and martial, Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, and the world knows it, and you must not be suspicious of father and son." ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "You said that Gu knows, Gu will consider it." ”

Chen Yuan sighed and left. When I got home, I briefly explained, I didn't eat, I took dry food, and went straight to Le'an Prefecture.

King Han and King Zhao could not run to mourn, so they brought a total of 50,000 horses from the 3,000 battalions and the Shenji battalion to Le'an Prefecture and resolutely disobeyed the dispatch of the imperial court.

Chen Yuan rode a fast horse for two days before coming to Le'an Prefecture to meet the kings of Han and Zhao. King Han smiled coldly, not without sarcasm: "The envoy of the imperial court, the minion of the emperor's eldest brother, the third brother, you still say that he is your adviser, it seems that you don't manage people well, and the adviser eats inside and out." ”

Zhu Gaosui hummed and chirped and did not speak.

"Lord Wang, Hou Ye Chen is outside, see it or not."

"Yo, I'm still a marquis." King Han sneered, "Who is he the Hou Ye, is it because he succeeded in undercover and helped the boss become the emperor, the boss is grateful and seals the Hou, heh, the boss will buy people's hearts." ”

Zhu Gaosui said silently: "I'll go see him." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, King Han jumped to his feet and said: "Hey, he is the envoy of the imperial court, and he must be the will sent by the eldest brother, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Yes, I want to hear what Big Brother has to say." Zhu Gaosui paused, left a sentence, and then arranged for someone to arrange a banquet to entertain Chen Yuan.

It wasn't until evening, when night fell, that Chen Yuan saw Zhu Gaosui at the banquet.

When we met again, although it was only two months apart, it was like a lifetime.

In the past, Chen Yuan was his adviser, turning him from a prince hated by his father to a prince who Zhu Di felt most suitable to inherit the throne. However, he was not the eldest son.

In the past, his status was very different, he felt that he valued Chen Yuan, and he should be grateful to himself, grateful to Dade, and born and died for himself.

But now, he is also a marquis, although he is not a prince, and he is not much worse than a down-and-out prince.

"Lord Wang."

Zhu Gaosui was a little bitter, and pretended to sneer: "Big brother, do you want you to be a lobbyist, it's very good, but it's a pity that he miscalculated, I won't give in like him." ”

Chen Yuan shook his head, and Zhu Gaosui was surprised.

"Lord, I'm not here for Your Majesty, I'm here for Lord."

Zhu Gaosui was even more surprised, poured a glass of wine, and didn't serve it for a long time.

"May I ask the prince, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Gaosui was stunned, yes, what are you going to do? He was so confused, Zhu Zhanji didn't let them enter the palace, they could only run out with their troops, they didn't know what to do, rebellion?

"My second brother and I have 50,000 elites in our hands, as well as the Shenji Battalion."

Chen Yuan immediately intercepted: "The bombardment of the Forbidden City, the blood is flowing like a river, and the brothers kill each other?" ”

Zhu Gaosui was suffocated and looked at Chen Yuan in a daze. The words of fratricidal brotherhood were like a needle inserted into his heart. He accidentally touched the wine glass, and the wine spilled unconsciously.

Seeing that he hesitated, Chen Yuan immediately intensified his persuasion: "Lord Wang, the minister has always been in his heart for the prince. However, the destiny is determined, and the fate is difficult, and now His Majesty occupies the position of the eldest son, and it is logical to succeed to the throne. The subjects of the world are attached, and the prince thinks, what can you do with your tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? ”

Without waiting for Zhu Gaosui to answer, he tightly expounded the facts: "How many people in your army can fight well?" Except for the two princes, from the perspective of the ministers, they are all mediocre and vulnerable. The imperial court is assisted by the British Gongzhang, as long as the imperial court orders, how many people in your army dare to accompany you? ”

Zhu Gaosui fell into deep thought, indeed, they brought in a team, just saying that the emperor would not let him enter the Forbidden City. The eldest brother has become the emperor, and he is justified, and if he starts an army by himself, it is a rebellion, and a few people dare to follow.

What's more, they have tens of thousands of people, against hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court, no matter how you look at it, they have no chance of winning. Those who can do this, for thousands of years, only their old man has done it, can he do it himself?

In terms of martial arts, he lost to his second brother, and he was not as good as his eldest brother. Fight for what?

He doesn't have the old man's great talent, and the eldest brother is not as incompetent as Jianwen, so what are his chances of winning.

Zhu Gaosui picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said hatefully: "But I am unwilling to admit defeat like this." ”
