Chapter 374: Fighting Wits in the Air
"It's the effect of the third thing the old man did."
Dao Yan said with a smile of pride.
Zhu Di really didn't know what expression to use to treat him, so he said helplessly,
"I saw it, but is it really good to do this?"
"What's so bad?"
Dao Yan looked at his face with great interest and asked rhetorically.
Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said,
"Anyway, the person who sits on the throne now is Yun Wei, and the reason why he can sit on it is also approved by his father, and now it is so spread that I am the Son of Heaven, is it really appropriate to do so?"
"How inappropriate,"
Dao Yan said with a smile,
"These words are not said by yourself, Fourth Master, they are circulated by the people like this, and it is impossible to shut them up. Moreover, on the side of the capital, many people know that before the emperor died, he wanted to change the fourth master to the crown prince, but he was stopped by the emperor's grandson. So now that a lot of mainstream public opinion is inclined to you, if the imperial grandson wants to make any idea about you, it will make people feel even more unfair, isn't this great? ”
"But, it's clear that this is a rebellion,"
Zhu Di shook his head and said,
"I don't want to ...... like this yet"
"Even if there is a rebellion, why not?"
The smile on Dao Yan's face disappeared, and Zhengshi said,
"Fourth master, think about it, the imperial grandson will soon attack you, how should you deal if you don't rebel? Do you really want him to capture you in the capital and imprison you for the rest of your life? You don't want to rebel against your nephew, but how does that nephew deal with his own uncle? Have you thought about these four masters? ”
"However, now that Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, is Yun Wei's cronies, how can he not report these things to his master?"
Zhu Di said a little worriedly,
"If Yun Wei speeds up the pace of attacking me because of this, wouldn't it be even worse, the current situation is not ready for self-preservation."
"Then send someone to the capital, one is to explore the truth, and the other is to stabilize the heart of the emperor's grandson."
Dao Yan suggested.
Zhu Di thought for a while and said,
"Then let Changshi Ge Cheng go, this person usually loves to express himself very much, and he is bent on promotion, so give him a chance and let him do it with all his heart."
"Oh?"
Dao Yan listened to his evaluation of this person and couldn't help but laugh,
"The fourth master's method of employing people is also very don't speak, okay, just send him."
"That's it."
Zhu Di nodded and went back to the palace with Zheng He.
The Yanwang Mansion in Beiping was nervous, and Zhu Yunwen in the capital was also very busy.
The new monarch ascended the throne, of course, there must be a new atmosphere, and Zhu Yunwen very much wanted to be benevolent to govern the country, and after he ascended the throne, he issued an edict to implement a leniency policy, pardon criminals, reduce taxes and rents, in addition, there are also great adjustments in the appointment of officials, basically the civil officials are raised by a grade, and the relative military attachés are demoted by one rank, which invisibly causes the unhappiness of many military generals.
But what worries him the most is his uncles, especially the fourth uncle Zhu Di, sometimes Zhu Yunwen will also think that he will definitely make the fourth uncle resentful if he does this now, but even resentment is better than seeing him put on a false respectful face, but in fact he doesn't put himself in his heart.
That's right, even if you let him hate, don't be despised by him—
This is Zhu Yunwen's ruthless indifference that he doesn't want to be discovered by anyone, and is completely out of lack of self-confidence.
On this day, the imperial study was discussing major affairs in the court, of course, the new emperor was still present, and his three close ministers, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai, although it seems that due to the replacement of the old and the new, the fluctuation of people's hearts has gradually calmed down, and all affairs have been restored to the right track, but this cutting of the feudal domain has just begun.
The three close ministers were all thinking about what to do next, although everyone knew in their hearts that the ultimate goal was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, but when the emperor planned to attack his fourth uncle, they really couldn't guess in their hearts.
At this time, Zhuo Jing, the head of the household, was waiting outside the door, saying that there was something important to be played. Zhu Yunwen has never neglected these ministers, not to mention that there are still important things, so he let him in.
After giving the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Zhuo Jing stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, the minister recently heard a report that the craftsmen employed in the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping are many times more plain, and most of them are blacksmiths, so I feel that it is very wrong, and I have come to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh, King Yan hired a lot of blacksmiths, huh,"
Zhu Yunwen looked at him and said,
"Maybe it's something to be built in the house, what's wrong with that?"
"Your Majesty, it's really nothing to hire some craftsmen to do some work in this palace, but if there are many people and the time is still very long, it is not normal."
Zhuo Jing said, looking at the three emperor's close ministers.
Qi Tai felt very sympathetic when he saw it,
"Lord Zhuo is reasonable, what does King Yan do when he hires so many blacksmiths, it shouldn't be that he is secretly making weapons."
"Lord Qi is worthy of being the secretary of the Ministry of War, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned the word 'soldier'."
Huang Zicheng said with a smile.
Zhuo Jing frowned slightly and said,
"What Lord Qi said, in fact, is exactly what Wei Chen thought, that King Yan is powerful in the north, if he really has bad intentions, it should be difficult to suppress."
"So, according to Zhuoqing's opinion, what should we do?"
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and asked.
Zhuo Jingfu saluted upwards again,
"Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, you might as well come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, King Yan's forces are all in Beiping Mansion, and it is quite prestigious there, it is better to move it to the south and change it to Nanchang Mansion, so that its power can be weakened and it will not be able to compete with the imperial court."
"Oh......"
Zhu Yunwen didn't want to hear it in his heart, and said what he wanted to do about King Yan from other people's mouths, he always felt that even if he dealt with the fourth uncle, he had to make the decision himself, and only after sinking his eyes turned to Huang Zicheng,
"What do you see, sir?"
"In the opinion of Yichen, it is not safe to do this,"
Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunwen's face and said,
"Although Lord Zhuo said that King Yan is suspected of making weapons privately, there is no empirical evidence, and King Yan has never made any mistakes in Suri, on the contrary, he has guarded the northern Xinjiang and made a lot of meritorious contributions, if he moves himself from the south for no reason, it is not easy to explain to the ministers of the DPRK and China, not to mention that the defense of the north will suddenly be empty, which is naturally not good."
"No evidence?"
Zhuo Jing laughed angrily when he heard this,
"How can Lord Huang find out the evidence? Does it have to wait for him to show his weapon and start reversing it, can it be considered empirical? King Yan has always been smart and resourceful, how easy is it to grasp his handle? ”
"Zhuo Qing's meaning, I already know,"
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said,
"But I think what Mr. Huang said is reasonable, if the fourth uncle is deposed without any reason, then the other kings will definitely be uneasy, so don't do anything unfavorable to King Yan for the time being."
"Your Majesty......"
Zhuo Jing wanted to say more, but was stopped by Zhu Yunwen's eyes, so he had to say,
"Well, I just hope that Your Majesty will think about what the minister has said."
