Zhu Gaoxian looked at the second brother who was simple, and said in his heart, this IQ, I still want to be the emperor, how can it be enough? Even if he is an iron Hanhan, with his father's experience, his father has already renamed Beiping to Beijing, and his second brother still wants to make Beijing a vassal state for him, which is really fatal!

"Okay, second brother, talking counts!"

The imperial court soon issued a clear decree, and the decree was issued to the four seas.

Since Zhu Di became the prince, Zhu Gaochi has been like a different person, he has walked proudly, the previous caution has disappeared, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his body is shrouded in an obvious aura of the prince.

Only in front of his father, he became more and more respectful, but whenever his father frowned and was unhappy, he was terrified, even more than before.

That day, after he went back, he had a special meeting with Zhang, and his thoughts coincided with Zhang's.

After all, who wants to see his son's power and prestige higher than his own? Even when Zhu Biao was the crown prince, Emperor Taizu was still dissatisfied, I heard that Zhu Biao was so frightened by Emperor Taizu that he jumped into the water, and he had to die early, even if he stayed up for more than ten years, I don't know who died first between him and Emperor Taizu!

Emperor Taizu lived to be seventy years old, who can live to this age!

Zhu Gaochi, supported by the two eunuchs, walked quickly towards the Fengtian Palace, only then did he get the news that the envoy of the Ministry of Rites who went to Annan had returned, and the fourth brother had suddenly returned from the Ming Imperial Academy, and he was worried that something would happen that he didn't know, so he hurried over.

The envoy of this Ministry of Rites is called Yang Bo, kneeling in front of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxian at this time, full of good words for the king of Annan, "Your Majesty, the minister specifically asked to understand, speaking of which, the current king of Annan is still a Ming person, and his ancestor is a native of Zhejiang, but he went to Annan in the Later Han Dynasty, and has been guarding Yanzhou, and then simply settled his home in Paotu Township and became the local owner of the village." When it came to the Li Dynasty......"

Zhu Gaoxian and his father sat side by side on the couch, boredly playing with the jade pei on their waists, "As an official of the Ministry of Rites, no one has taught you how to prelude to the king, right?" ”

As soon as Zhu Gaochi came in, he saw this scene, and heard Zhu Gaoxian reprimanding Yang Bo, he walked over quietly and saluted his father, originally, his younger brother's title was one level higher than him, and he should salute, but as a brother, he would not worship each other, so he simply let their brothers be the same as before.

This also gave Zhu Gaochi a lot of reverie.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong? Isn't this Yang Bo? You've come all the way from Annan, but do you understand what's going on? ”

Zhu Gaochi relieved Yang Bo with a word, Yang Bo was grateful, and turned around to salute Zhu Gaochi, "The minister greets His Royal Highness King Kangjun!" ”

"In front of my father, it doesn't have to be like this!" Zhu Gaochi gave him a hand, glanced at his father cautiously, and was relieved to see that his father was not displeased, but on the contrary, he was happy.

Zhu Gaoxian watched coldly, and when his eldest brother finished acting, he asked, "This king asks you, how can you prelude to the king?" My father asked you to travel thousands of miles to Annam, so what? Now that you have come back to your life, what have you done? ”

In an instant, the atmosphere in this side hall was very depressing, Yang Bo was covered in a cold sweat, "Minister, the minister knows his mistake, the minister went to Annan to investigate the replacement of the throne, it has been, it has been ascertained, the original royal family Chen has no heirs in the bloodline, and today, the current king Hu is indeed supported by his subjects, the government is clear, and he loves the people like a son......"

"Whew!" Zhu Gaoxian sneered, threw the jade pei in his hand, and said, "The subjects support and love the people like sons?" Yang Bo, who is that, how many beauties and money did you give you, and you helped him talk like this? If my dad really canonizes who is the king, do you want my dad to be a joke in history? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Bo trembled all over, and stammered, "Minister, what the minister said, no, there is not a word of lie!" ”

"That's okay, I won't embarrass you!"

Hearing that he was not embarrassed, Yang Bo was so happy, who knows, Zhu Gaoxian said next, "You go to stay in the edict prison for a few days, and I will let Hu Hu and Mu Cheng go to Annan to take a look, what is going on?" If it is really as you said, I will compensate you for the loss of your imprisonment, if you have half a word, you are a bully! ”

The sin of deceitful king, the sin is unforgivable!

Yang Bo was stunned, Annan is thousands of miles away from here, what happened over there is no matter what, he can't get to the capital, even if he gets to the capital, there is no special passage, and he can't enter the palace, how did His Royal Highness know?

The current king of Annan is Hu Jichen, and Hu Jichen was once a powerful minister of Annan. In the first year of Chen Shaoqing, Chen Yizong, the lord of Annan, succeeded to the throne, valued Hu Jichen very much, promoted him to the ambassador of the Privy Council, and married Princess Huining, who had died of her husband, to Hu Jichen, and named him the Marquis of Xuanguo.

In the second year of Chen Shaoqing, Chen Yizong's Zen position was given to his younger brother Chen Ruizong, and Hu Jichen was still reused. After Chen Ruizong became the king for three years, in the third year of Chen Longqing, the brothers Yizong and Ruizong decided to personally conquer the city and ordered Hu Jichen to escort the grain and grass.

As a result, in this battle, Ruizong died, and the commander of the rear army led the army to flee without help, and Hu Jichen also fled first after hearing the news of Ruizong's death.

However, Hu Jichen was not held accountable by the surviving emperor Chen Yizong, but was reinstated.

After Ruizong's death, his son Chen abolished the emperor's heir, and the year name was Changfu.

For three years, Hu Jichen concurrently served as Xiao Sikong, an official in charge of civil engineering and water conservancy, equivalent to one of the nine Qings.

With such trust from the king, Hu Jichen gradually became emboldened, began to cultivate his own henchmen in the court, and gradually grasped the power of the Chen Dynasty.

In the tenth year of Changfu, the king of Zhancheng attacked, Hu Jichen led the Chen Dynasty naval army to fight and defeated the king of Zhancheng Peng'e, which was the first time that the Chen Dynasty defeated the Peng'e army, and therefore, Hu Jichen's prestige was in full swing.

In the sixth year of Changfu, Hu Jichen once again conquered the city and won.

In the eleventh year, Hu Jichen was awarded the Tongping Zhangshi, and obtained a sword and a flag given by Chen Yizong, which read "All-round talent in civil and military affairs, monarchs and ministers with the same virtue", at this time, Hu Jichen's power has been unbalanced.

Emperor Chen was jealous of Hu Jichen, and Hu Jichen secretly played Chen Yizong, saying, "I have only heard of those who sold their nephews to raise their sons, but I have never heard of those who sold their sons to raise their nephews." ”

Chen Yizong thought so, abolished his nephew, imprisoned him in the temple, and replaced him with his son Shunzong, who was Hu Jichen's son-in-law.

At this point, Hu Jichen's power is getting bigger and bigger, and Chen Yizong is also aware of this, but at this time, he is already old, and Hu Jichen's power has overridden it, in order to prevent Chen Yizong from usurping the throne in the future, Yizong ordered someone to draw a picture of four auxiliaries, including Zhou Gongfu Zuo Chengwang.
