The crown prince is the most perfect candidate for replacement after Daming Hongwu.

This point, as early as many years ago, became the consensus of the court.

Although the imperial grandson is young, he acts out-of-the-box and has a strong temperament, which is a little difficult to accept. But no one can deny that Hongwu's new policy was single-handedly pushed to the stage.

The country is getting better and better, opening up thousands of miles of territory, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is a great merit, and it is also a merit that no one dares to imagine.

In the eyes of many people, even if the current imperial grandson is not a perfect monarch, as long as he continues to experience for decades, and when the prince hands over the Ming Dynasty to him, he will be calm enough at that time.

Moreover, the imperial grandson also has the support of countless people.

Since the establishment of the military merit system, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has almost followed the grandson with all its heart.

At this time, the father and son of the Heavenly Family seem to have a conflict, how should the situation of the Ming Dynasty change?

If the conflict intensifies, will this Heavenly City become a place of right and wrong?

When the time came, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was furious......

Don't dare to think!

Don't dare to think!

For a time, even though it was approaching the end of the year, many businessmen were worried about the deterioration of the situation, so they gave up the opportunity to make money and fled from Yingtian with goods and money.

Try to avoid possible conflicts that will ripple into your own home.

Inadvertently.

There was a rare silence in Yingtian City in the past few years.

And above the court, everyone is silent.

Before the matter is clear, these people who have been officials for many years will not take a stand lightly.

For most officials, as long as the matter is not discussed in the court, they can continue to pretend that they do not know.

What heavenly contradiction?

What battle for the throne?

It has nothing to do with them.

Knowing how to protect oneself is the key!

It's just that changes in the court have indeed appeared.

The emperor really stopped showing up, and the ministers only knew that every day there would be new and old envoys from the Tai Hospital to take over the palace care.

As for the Emperor's Holy Body, no one outside the palace knows what it is like now.

The last time the emperor quietly slipped out of Yingtian, although the crown prince did not kill anyone, the palace was also rectified and purged.

The officials mentioned it several times, hoping that the emperor's holy body would be known to the court officials, and at the worst they would let the cabinet ministers enter the palace to meet His Majesty the emperor.

This is what officials of all dynasties have done.

Even if it is the crown prince approved by the emperor who is currently presiding over the country.

However, the officials' proposal was denied, and they were reprimanded for probing into the royal family.

Then the crown prince reprimanded Ren Hengtai, the first assistant of the cabinet, in public.

Roughly speaking, the cabinet leader is the court civil and military, and he, the first assistant, did not do a good job in management, and he did not work well to spy on the royal family.

That's not good.

Ren Hengtai admitted in public that he had made a mistake in his work, and this matter was revealed.

Then the crown prince issued an edict to recall the governor of the river, Pan Deshan, the Duke of Liang Guo, Lan Yu, the king of Kaiping County, and the governor Tang Li to return to Beijing.

Before people could react, the prince made another move.

Zhang Ergong, the secretary of the Ministry of Promotion, is the young master of the prince. The Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Labor.

Putting these two things together, everyone understood the situation in an instant.

The prince wants to dismember all the forces of the grandson.

Everyone in the court was silent.

It's just that in the silence, the attention is focused on the cabinet ministers Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi, as well as the governor of Zhili Province, Zou Xueyu.

If the prince further deals with these three, it will completely show that the prince is suppressing the grandson.

People didn't have to wait long.

The cabinet came out with the news, and the second assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of Wenhuadian University, Xie Jin, was ordered to travel west to inspect the construction of the Western Railway.

Although Xie Jin has always been responsible for this matter, letting him go to the west before the end of the year undoubtedly shows the attitude of the prince.

This was followed by the Cabinet Minister's order to go southwest to deal with the final matters related to the abolition of the Tusi system.

Although it is to deal with follow-up matters, it is clear to the court that if the affairs of the southwest are handled, it will be impossible to complete it in less than a year and a half.

All of a sudden, the two representatives of Xinxue supported by Taisun were taken out of the Jingshi, and at this time, everyone was extremely sure of their original conjecture.

As for why the prince did not deal with Zou Xueyu, the governor of Zhili Province, perhaps because he felt that this position was close at hand, as long as there was something wrong, he could take it directly, and there was no need to deal with this matter together.

The winds in Ying Tian City began to change.

People's hearts fluctuate.

In front of Taisun's mansion, it also seemed deserted.

It's just that how the court has changed, the Taisun Mansion seems to be extremely calm.

Every day, Zhu Yunxi goes out early, goes to the Xicheng area, and does not come back until late.

The West Side has now become a huge construction site.

Except for the Yishang Yiren area that lived near the Jinchuan Gate in Xicheng because of freight, it did not move.

The entire Yingtian West City to the vicinity of the Middle City was fenced off.

Several large camps of the Beijing army, which were originally placed on the boundary of Xicheng, have been moved outside the city. These soldiers and horses who are responsible for guarding the Beijing Division, if they really let the enemy fight under Yingtian City, then whether they are inside the city or outside the city, the result will be the same.

The lecture hall and rugby field have been preserved, and they surround the two complexes, and now a large number of trees have been transplanted to enclose the area.

The Yingtian Cup Rugby Match has long been fixed, and in order to facilitate the football (gambling) fans (apprentices) to enter and watch the game, a passage is specially separated to connect to the outside of the Xicheng construction site.

As for the martial arts hall, no more arrangements and handling were made.

Although the lecture hall is a school, there are soldiers up and down.

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders.

Today, Zhu Yunxi, as always, arrived at the Xicheng construction site early and stood at the door of the shack behind one of the entrances.

On the construction site, there were already people who were hired by Tianfu to live on the Xicheng construction site, and began to eat the breakfast provided on the construction site with bowls.

At the entrance, there were already some horse-drawn carriages full of materials lined up to enter.

Zhang Ergong, the newly promoted young master of the crown prince, wearing a thick and mud-stained jacket and holding two smoking large bowls in his hands, walked over from the room not far away.

"Your Highness, the freshly cooked chicken soup and rice noodles in Luzhou Mansion, this morning Lin Yuan sent the greens from the warm shed, and they were also put into the pot."

As he spoke, Zhang Ergong put a large bowl filled with chicken soup and rice noodles on the table next to Zhu Yunxi.

There is a coal stove lit in the shack, and at this time it is warm and you don't feel the cold.

Zhu Yunxi didn't see it, but just glanced at Zhang Ergong, whose hair was a little messy, and rubbed his hands together and stuck them on the big bowl: "You haven't been home for a few days and you live on the construction site?" ”

Zhang Ergong took a sip of noodles and drank another sip of chicken soup, and then he said with a smile: "I can't go back when I meet the deadline." After these two days of busy preliminary work, you can go home and rest for a few days. ”

Zhu Yunxi glanced out the door.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a little busy.

Who would have thought that Zhang Ergong, the first in the Ming Dynasty to enter the officialdom as a craftsman and walked all the way to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, ran to the big construction site in Xicheng after being dismissed from the position of Shangshu.

Zhu Yunxi thought about it and began to lower his head and eat noodles.

The rice noodles of Luzhou Mansion, the old hen of Luzhou Mansion.

Chicken soup boiled noodles, accompanied by a few green vegetables, is a delicacy in the world.

The chopsticks picked at the bowl, and there were two golden eggs that had been fried.

This kind of food is the most nourishing for the stomach.

In this cold winter, it is also the most warm-up.

The two of them ate noodles so quietly.

A short time later, some people walked in from outside with dishes and chopsticks.

first saluted Zhu Yunxi and Zhang Ergong, and then walked to the table inside and began to eat.

These are all craftsmen and officials who work on the construction site of Xicheng.

However.

After a while, people wearing robes or military uniforms began to appear in the shack, also from the opposite room with dishes and chopsticks, and walked into the shack here.

Chang Jizu brought a bowl of chicken soup and shredded rice noodles into the shack, but there was less noodles and more soup.

He sat next to Zhu Yunxi, who had already finished eating noodles and started drinking soup. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he took out a leather bag from his bosom and took out a bulging oily paper bag from the leather bag.

When opened, there is steaming grilled lamb chops, roast beef, and fried chicken thighs.

No less than three or four pounds.

Then I saw him take out a handful of garlic from his pocket and slap it on the table.

Chang Ji's ancestor picked a piece of garlic and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then grabbed a roasted oily lamb chop and stuffed it into his mouth.

He chewed viciously several times, crushed all the food in his mouth into slag with his bloody mouth, and then lowered his head and ate the noodle soup into his stomach.

Waiting for a set of procedures to be completed, Chang Jizu wiped his hands on his body indiscriminately and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "The people in the martial arts hall have not had the heart to attend class for the past two days. ”

Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands together: "You eat these early in the morning, aren't you afraid that there will be problems when the time comes?" ”

Chang Jizu said: "Although Wei Guogong ordered that the teachers and students of the Wutang are not allowed to discuss the government. But privately, everyone is quietly discussing what you're going to do next. Some people began to propose that as soon as the crown prince showed that he wanted to depose you, they would strike and go to the court. ”

Zhang Ergong, who was picking his teeth on the side, couldn't help but tremble on his shoulders, and hurriedly lowered his head and continued to concentrate on picking his teeth.

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "Xicheng will be a model, a real fairyland on earth in our dynasty." At present, the ground must be leveled before the end of the year, and the landscape lake that should be dug and the landscape mountain that should be dug should be completed before the frost. The planning of each district should also be done well in advance. After the beginning of the year, you can start building directly according to the plan. ”

Zhang Ergong, who lowered his head, nodded, but he just didn't look up.

Chang Jizu frowned: "What is the situation now?" We always feel that this matter is not so simple, and it is impossible for the prince to suddenly treat you like this, there must be a hidden secret. ”

Zhu Yunxi's fingers tapped on the tabletop, making a thumping sound.

Chang Jizu glanced at Zhu Yunxi lightly: "There was a deduction in the martial arts hall at the beginning, which was about the inheritance of my Ming dynasty within three generations. As a result, all possibilities are preset, and the optimal solution for my Ming can still only be you. Only you can make Daming truly get rid of the laws of the world and open up the real eternal foundation of Daming. ”

In the shack, the craftsmen had already stuffed breakfast into their stomachs and fled from here.

Zhang Ergong wanted to slip away.

There is still so much work on the construction site, and it is too busy to finish.

Or move bricks more purely.

Chang Jizu saw that Zhu Yunxi didn't speak for a long time, and viciously grabbed the meat with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth with a bowl in the other.

In a few moments, he was already full of food, his eyes widened, and he made a muffled voice.

"You have to at least give the truth, otherwise no one dares to guarantee that things will continue and what will happen.

I heard before I came here today that although there were strict orders from the Metropolitan Governor's Office, some people in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies seemed to be very dissatisfied with the recent situation.

Although the Jingjun is pressed by the cabinet, there are many people around Yingtian who can be used, and you should know this very well. ”

Chang Jizu saw that Zhu Yunxi still didn't speak, and he lost his appetite at this time.

Push the meat in front of you away.

He continued: "Brother Xi'er, you should know that my Chang family is not attached to the crown prince, nor does it necessarily support you.

But you are your aunt's own son, the grandson, nephew, and cousin of the Chang family. As a family, it is necessary to remind that everything is possible only if people live. ”

Zhu Yunxi's brows furrowed: "Don't worry, the Ming Dynasty is still there, the old man is still there, the prince has always been virtuous, how can the country be in chaos." At this time, it is the most important thing to test people's hearts, and we must not do things that are harmful to the country. ”

Chang Jizu frowned, this was not the answer he wanted to achieve.

Again, this is not the answer that the Chang family and many people want.

Zhu Yunxi was helpless, he wanted to live a life of Tao Yuanming under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums for a while, but no one seemed to be willing to let him get what he wanted.

He said in a deep voice, "Then bring me a word." ”

Chang Jizu's eyes immediately lit up: "You say! ”

"At this time, if anyone is in turmoil, they will go to Fengyang to think about it."

Chang Jizu's gaze flickered a few times.

It was still not the answer he wanted, but at least he had something to take back.

Zhu Yunxi has already gotten up.

The reason why Chang Jizu appeared here is not only on behalf of the Chang family, but also on behalf of those nobilities of the court who pinned their hopes on themselves.

That's why he said that whoever caused chaos at this time would go back to Fengyang to think about it.

Zhang Ergong saw Zhu Yunxi get up and walked out of the shack, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after glancing at Chang Jizu, he whispered: "A number of new-style houses will be built around the viewing lake in the later stage, if Chang Gongzi is interested, but now book, we will reserve the best places for Chang Gongzi to choose." ”

Chang Jizu frowned and glanced at Zhang Ergong.

This former craftsman official, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, now has no scruples at all, and speaks and acts frankly and straightforwardly.

Chang Jizu shook his head: "There is no shortage of houses in the family. Young Master Zhang should think about how to return to the court is ......"

There were some things he didn't want to say again.

Zhang Ergong stepped down from the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, although he is now the prince and young master, but he has no real power.

If you keep doing this, don't think about doing anything big in the court in the future.

Zhang Ergong also shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that I can only continue to deceive those brainless Yi people, and my family doesn't understand the good ...... of Xicheng in the future."

After speaking, he didn't care about Chang Jizu's face, and chased after Zhu Yunxi outside.
