"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." Kunning Palace, Zhu Zhanji saluted. The crown prince did not ascend the throne, and the empress remained the empress and lived in the Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhang kept the vigil until the evening, because Zhu Zhanji was going to recruit in person the next day, so she summoned Zhu Zhanji.

Mother and son are immersed in sadness, and there is still filial piety on their bodies, and there are not too many words.

"Get up and call you, I have something to tell you."

"Queen Mother, please speak, the sons must obey the order."

"Your queen mother is a woman, she doesn't understand politics, she doesn't have any requirements, what you want to do, let it go. Your father is gone, you have to provoke the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty, this is the country that Hong Wuye beat down, your emperor grandfather worked hard to govern the country, your father and I worked hard and suffered a lot to keep the position of the heir, and you have to guard it well, do better than your grandfather and your father. The only hope is that you will be at peace, and you and your brothers will be at peace. ”

Feeling his mother's worries, Zhu Zhanji's heart warmed: "Don't worry, the queen mother can rest assured, the sons must get along with their younger brothers, the sons have already planned, the second brother is the king of Zhengjing, the third brother is the king of Yuejing, the fourth brother is the king of Qixian, and the fifth brother is the king of Xiangxian......"

The most threatening to Zhu Zhanji's throne is the fifth brother Zhu Zhandong, but after he arrived in Nanjing, he did his duty and did not reveal his ambition for the throne, so the prince was relieved of him.

The queen was also relieved to be the king of her younger brothers, and said: "You treat your younger brothers well, and the mourning family is very relieved." You personally conquered the king of Han, your mind has been decided, and the queen mother will not stop you, the sword has no eyes, everything must be careful. ”

"Erchen doesn't do things that he is not sure of, the king of Han is just a fierce introvert, 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is not enough evidence. The emperor's grandfather was in trouble with the heavens, and he did not avoid difficulties, and his sons and ministers were for the integrity of the country and the peace of the people, so they naturally could not spare their lives. This expedition must be very smooth and there is no risk. ”

"The mourning family heard that the King of Han and the King of Zhao were stationed in Le'an Prefecture and Jiaodong respectively, each other is a horn, there are 3,000 battalions and Shenji battalions, and 100,000 Chen soldiers, they are all battle-hardened, you can't be careless."

Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "Although there are 100,000 soldiers, in the eyes of the sons, they have no one to use, and the subordinates of the two uncles are all wine bags and rice bags. The only key figure was Wei Ninghou, who was secretly reported to have been imprisoned by King Zhao. ”

Empress Zhang showed a worried look, but fortunately because her face was pale, she was not noticed. In addition to being nervous, he was shocked, his son was talking eloquently in front of him, he was about to be the emperor, to dominate the world, and he was about to be the queen mother, thinking of that little enemy, he glanced at the maid Ruyu who was serving tea next to her, that was a little similar to her own face, she suddenly felt that such absurdity should be over.

The child believes that Wei Ninghou is towards the imperial court, his family is in Shuntian, and he is smart, and he will not help the two princes who are not right. As long as he is there, King Zhao will not participate in the rebellion, at least he will not move and hesitate, so the opponent of Erchen is only the second uncle. He has been waiting for the news of his father's funeral, and he will never expect that his sons will set off first, but he has not sent troops yet, and his sons have already come to the city. The queen mother-" The prince was a little strange when he saw the queen mother in a daze.

Empress Zhang hurriedly retracted her thoughts, nodded and said, "What my son said is that the queen mother listens to it, but the queen mother heard that the marquis of Wei Ning took in the daughter of the Annan thief without permission, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhu Zhanji had a bitter face: "Marquis Weining bullied the king, some ministers want me to punish the crime according to the law, and the sons and daughters are also very embarrassed, what does the queen mother think to do?" ”

Empress Zhang took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and cried for a day, her voice was a little hoarse, and her throat was dry: "As a master, it is impossible to require his subordinates to be obedient slaves, Your Majesty wants to be a wise monarch through the ages, you must accommodate different voices, Weininghou is incomparably talented, no one can replace it, and Weininghou is indispensable to make the country stable for a long time." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "The words of the queen mother, the sons and daughters think so, the emperor's grandfather and father have told the sons and daughters many times, like Li Qi and others, are just quick thinkers, can read and write some articles, every scientific examination, there is no shortage of such talents." If you want to be an emperor in an ordinary way, it is enough to use a person like Li Qi, if you want to open up a prosperous era in ancient and modern times, you must be Weininghou. ”

Empress Zhang nodded approvingly, her son's words revealed that he would not punish the little wrongdoer, and she felt a lot more relieved, and she was even more pleased that her son was vigorous and broad-minded, and he would definitely be able to guard this piece of the country.

Hearing that King Zhao was coming, Geng Cairuo was shocked, there was no hiding place in this prison. Chen Yuan was also panicked, and suddenly thought about it, the outside of the prison was heavily guarded, if Cai could come in, King Zhao must have known something, and by default, it would come suddenly, so that it would be better to admit it generously.

He signaled Cai Ruo not to be too nervous, and in less than a moment, King Zhao had already entered the prison with ten guards.

"Chen Yuan, see the prince."

"See the prince." Geng Cairuo saluted, only Li Yuyi looked at it lightly, Zhu Gaosui led the troops to destroy her Li family, she only had hatred in her heart, but she didn't deliberately show it. Chen Yuan has already done too much for her, and if she does something that annoys King Zhao again, it will be difficult to cause him trouble again.

King Zhao first glanced at her, and then looked at Geng Cairuo.

Geng Cairuo immediately said: "Please forgive King Zhao." ”

Chen Yuan also defended: "Lord, the minister is here, there is no news at home, and my wife is worried about me, so, cough, please forgive me." ”

King Zhao didn't speak, and looked at Liu Guan who was lying on the ground, blood flowed all over the ground, motionless, and said coldly: "Dead?" ”

The soldier opened the cell door, probed Liu Guan's nose with his hand, and reported: "Lord Wang, you are dead." ”

King Zhao's expression did not fluctuate, no different from a dead livestock, and said lightly: "If you die, take it and bury it." ”

Gu Rong: "Yes. A few guards dragged Liu Guan to the wilderness and buried him casually.

King Zhao unexpectedly did not punish Chen Yuan, nor did he care about Geng Cairuo, but took Chen Yuan back to the back hall of the county ya, King Zhao walked in front, Chen Yuan took advantage of his inattention, and immediately gave instructions to Geng Cairuo. Geng Cairuo got the order, dodged and retreated, went to see Yuan Bin, and went to run errands with Yuan Bin.

After a while, when he arrived at the back hall of the county ya, the servants brought tea and snacks, Chen Yuan was really a little hungry and thirsty, picking snacks to eat and drink tea.

"You're like a hungry ghost reincarnated." King Zhao was dumbfounded, at this time, he still had the leisure to eat snacks, and it was difficult for him to eat and drink for a few days. I can't sleep until midnight every day, and the matter of raising troops makes him upset, there is no capable person under him, and only his niece Zhu Yunxi can give advice, but her ruthlessness makes her uncomfortable. He suddenly felt that for the sake of the throne, he lost all his humanity, was it worth it?

Chen Yuan grinned: "I've been locked up for a few days, and I'm a little hungry." ”

King Zhao sat down on the other side of the table and sighed.

"Lord Wang, haven't made up your mind?"

King Zhao was shocked and smiled bitterly: "Those who know me can retreat." Then he added, "As soon as the war began, and the flesh and blood were fratricidal, I remembered what the old man taught me, the old man killed his nephew, and he had nightmares all his life, and if I succeeded, would it be the same?" When I dream, will the old man carry a sword to kill me? ”

Chen Yuan paused, as long as he was a normal person, he would not be ruthless, and he would be at ease without guilt when he killed his relatives, there were not many such brutes. Li Shimin and Zhu Di both robbed their relatives of the throne, why do they keep working hard, they just want to atone for their crimes, they want to prove that they have done a better job than the relatives he killed, in fact, the guilt in their hearts, only they know, they have been in a nightmare for the rest of their lives.

"Lord, you can be a carefree prince with peace of mind."

King Zhao continued to sigh, looked out the door, and pointed to his chest: "But just admit defeat like this, I don't accept it in my heart." ”

Chen Yuan didn't speak and continued to eat.

After a while, Chen Yuan had almost eaten, clapped his hands, poured another sip of tea, and said, "If the prince wants to fight, he must do at least three things." ”

"Oh?" King Zhao's eyes lit up, and he invited Chen Yuan to come just to think that he would give him advice for him.

"First thing, kill me."

King Zhao was shocked and looked at him incredulously.

Chen Yuan seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with him: "Please forgive the prince, my wife, wife and children are still in the capital, I can't do rebellious things wholeheartedly, and I have a good relationship with you, if the prince doesn't blame me, I can only stop your big things and atone for your sins." ”

Chen Yuan was so calm, King Zhao couldn't get angry, and hesitated: "Retreat, you and I have known each other for seven years." ”

"Yes, the minister came from a humble background, and the minister's brother-in-law was killed, but the prince helped the minister, and the minister has always thanked the prince."

"The fire in the capital, this king owes you an apology."

Chen Yuan was stunned, he was talking about the fire in the palace in the capital, that time, he really hurt himself, he later judged that it was King Zhao who was secretly making ghosts, because of the palace fire, the prince's officials took the opportunity to call for moving the capital, and the king of Han tried to suppress the prince, but Zhu Di was jealous, so that the most profitable was King Zhao. I heard King Zhao say again: "I didn't expect to involve you. ”

"It was Wang Bin who maliciously framed the minister, and it has nothing to do with the prince, and the minister has always been grateful to the prince, so he is always planning for the prince. If the prince wants to fight, first of all, he must get rid of the minister, because the minister is the biggest obstacle, and secondly, the joint British public Zhang Fu, the prince has a preference for Wenchen, and the generals are dissatisfied. In the end, he immediately sent troops to the north and took the capital in one go. ”

After hearing this, King Zhao was moved in his heart, he felt Chen Yuan's sincerity, and he could be sincere enough to use his own life to make suggestions for himself, and hesitated: "You don't live up to this king, how can this king fail you." If you don't want to come forward for this king, this king won't embarrass you, just go to the county government and stay there. The implication is that Chen Yuan is under house arrest.

"Zhang Fu is in Tianjin Wei, his heart is unknown."

Chen Yuan added: "Even if Zhang Fu doesn't agree to join, he won't deliberately embarrass the prince." ”

"The third point, my brother is still there, the hearts of the people and officials are where he is, wait a little longer, my eldest brother's body can't last a few days." King Zhao thought about it and decided to wait.

Chen Yuan continued to eat, his heart was bright, he said everything he should have said, King Zhao treated him well, and he also offered the best method, even risking his own life, because he had gambled from the beginning, betting that King Zhao would not take this advice. is in a weak position, must make dangerous moves, surprise victory, King Zhao does not have the courage, and he has no capable people under him, so he will not assist King Zhao.

Obeying Zhu Zhanji is conforming to the trend of history, and only Zhu Zhanji has the ability to dominate the world.
