Without waiting for the civil and military generals to stop, Zhu Di picked up the documents of the imperial court and went out directly, and Cheng Yuan also left.

A group of guys were dumbfounded, the prince was angry and left, noisy feet, what should I do.

Cheng Yuan changed his clothes and took a shower, and by the way, he poured the two bottles of red wine left in the basement into the jar containing the wine, and walked towards Zhu Di's study with an iron pot.

"It's good to be in charge." The two girls in the corridor were holding trays, and when they saw Cheng Yuan, whose face was more handsome and tall, his goodwill instantly doubled.

"It's good to be in charge." Lao Wang, who prunes flowers and plants, also stopped to say hello.

Princess Yan Xu and Princess Zhang were very good to Yahuan's subordinates, and they often gathered to discuss the military generals and civil officials in the palace.

Seven or eight maids who were washing clothes in the distance looked at Cheng Yuan: "Cheng Da is so handsome and steady today." ”

"Not only handsome, but also very manly, Cheng Da is much stronger than Ge Changshi."

"Ge Changshi is useless, the cook next door said." The two maidens muttered and walked away.

When the women get together, the topic is similar to that of the men, they are all extraordinarily open, but there are also thin-skinned people who blush a lot.

The clothes of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty were divided into texture, color, pattern, and style pattern according to the size of the official. The bottom of the civil official's shirt is one inch to the ground. The military attaché's shirt was five inches off the ground. The length of the common people's clothes is also five inches from the ground.

Cheng Yuan is not an official of the imperial court, he is in the palace of King Yan, but Zhu Di still gave him a career.

From hairpins to hair crowns, hats, clothes and boots, because they are not considered grades, Zhu Di only arranged a azure robe with no pattern, a simple hair crown, and a pair of cloud boots with a black face and a white background.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and they dress up spiritually, and people's style and momentum also go up immediately.

Cheng Yuan is very satisfied with his own outfit, and he is not an idler who grows sweet potatoes, but he is a steward.

Zhu Di's old boy gave him benefits.

He will reciprocate accordingly.

This is the most basic requirement of being a human being.

Cheng Yuan and Zhu Di were talking about things across the steaming hot pot, how to look at it, and how to be not serious.

Zhu Di put the mutton into the pot, boiled it, and was corrected by Cheng Yuan: "The mutton slices are so thin, you will get old if you cook them like this." Shabu-shabu. ”

Listening to this kid not even calling himself King Yan, he was a little unhappy. Are these capable people like this, the old monk is, and so is Cheng Yuan.

But Cheng Yuan is really good, and Zhu Di is relieved.

"The master is in Qingshou Temple, and now there are people in the palace to monitor him, and this king can't act rashly, he can only listen to Mr. at the moment."

King Yan said this, Cheng Yuan can also understand, Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di have known each other for a longer time than himself, although he has the ability, normal people will still find familiarity before major events, people have a sense of crisis and the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Cheng Yuan put Zhu Di in the shabu meat and sandwiched it up to eat, and took a sip of wine, "Lord Wang, you can't discuss the guilt of Prince Zhou, we have to drag it out again." ”

Zhu Di got up and took the holy decree in his hand and put it on the table, the jade shaft holy decree.

Most of the decree is composed of golden silk brocade fabric and two shaft handles, but the heavenly dignity has its own majesty, and of course it cannot be generalized.

If the holy decrees of the officials are all of the same texture, how can it show the rank of the court's civil servants and military generals.

The shaft handle is related to the emperor's attention to this person, divided into jade shaft, black rhinoceros horn shaft, gold shaft, black horn shaft.

The least enterprising officials should use their own wooden shafts.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the holy decree of Emperor Hongzhi was very simple.

Others seem to pay a lot of attention to Zhu Di, the old boy, and the jade shaft he uses. But in Cheng Yuan's eyes, the taste is wrong.

They just created an illusion for Zhu Di first, and then slowly cut off his right-hand man.

I saw Cheng Yuan staring at the jade shaft of the holy decree.

Zhu Di also thought of this in his heart, it seemed that he was talking about King Zhou, but in fact, it was he Zhu Di who really wanted to deal with him.

These days, from the halfway edict to prevent the entry into Beijing to the withdrawal of military power, and then the nominal retinue to take care of it, it is now that he has murderous intentions towards himself.

The arrest of King Zhou and the exile of his family are an omen.

Cheng Yuan didn't say anything, Emperor Zhu's more than 20 sons, although some were cruel, some were unsuccessful, and some were sloppy, but none of them were big fools, and all of them were very smart.

Zhu Di is not a fool about these things, and he doesn't need Cheng Yuan to say it clearly.

"Lord Wang, the court is testing your reaction. The king of Zhou has been exiled to Yunnan, and the outcome has been decided, even if you discuss the crime, it will not have much effect. ”

Cheng Yuan said his opinion affirmatively.

The silent Zhu Di opened his mouth and smiled bitterly: "King Zhou is the fifth brother of this king, and now he is in trouble and exiled, whether this king discusses it or not, it can't change the fact that the fifth brother was exiled."

If this king does not discuss the crime and provokes the blame of His Majesty and the court, wouldn't it be to pull the entire Yanwang Mansion into the funeral.

This king thinks it is better to find a few crimes that are not serious, and the court has nothing to say. ”

Cheng Yuan shook his head and said that he did not agree with Zhu Di's statement, history has developed clearly.

The imperial court caught the king of Zhou, it was Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai who tried to test their attitude with this method.

The kings are weak, and they are caught, and now they are just cut down, and the court is no longer afraid of them, and within two years, according to the speed of Zhu Yunwen in history, the nine great vassal kings will not live.

The kings resisted, and the court just had an excuse to cut it, and it had to be cut to the end.

To put it bluntly, this time it's a test of the vassal king's softness and hardness.

"Lord Wang, you have heard the story of the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond, and you also know the story of the cold lips and teeth. Another implication of this story is that you will all be affected by the time or not. ”

"What does Mr. Cheng mean?" Zhu Di asked.

"I mean, you can't show weakness to the court, I heard that the other princes haven't discussed the guilt yet, why haven't they? In fact, I am watching what the prince does. ”

Zhu Di shook his head: "How influential do you think this king is, so many brothers, I haven't seen them for a few years, and they are all sweeping the snow in front of the door." A large family, wives and children, young and old, they know the severity. ”

Only by hating the same enemy, the court will feel that it is a little difficult to cut Tibet, but this time King Zhou here everyone only cares about themselves, and there will be no good results.

"Once the princes are only in charge of themselves. Then the court will break up your power and break it individually. It is equivalent to the prince's willingness to be slaughtered. ”

Cheng Yuan said decisively: "Lord Wang, there are two best ways now, one is for you to write a letter to intercede for King Zhou, and the other is to drag it out and not discuss the crime." ”

Zhu Di was stunned, this can hide from the first day of junior high but can't hide from fifteen, dragging it is not a way,

"Even if I write a letter to plead, there will still be a vassal king who will discuss the crime of the fifth brother to the court for his own sake, and this king cannot guarantee it."

Zhu Di knew that when the eldest brother Zhu Biao was still there, he invited several of their brothers to drink and get together, and there were often a few discords.

But at that time, the eldest brother was there, and he had the ability to convince his younger brothers, and now the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother are no longer there.

I don't know if I have this appeal.

Cheng Yuan said: "Those who have always won the hearts of the people win the world, brotherhood is ethical and commonplace, and the sky is irreversible, this is the way of heaven."

I heard that the people of Kaifeng have discussed a lot about the affairs of King Zhou, and Ying Tianfu has also made a fuss, which shows that the people have a pole in their hearts, which is the people's heart. ”

Since ancient times, the Heavenly Dao and people's hearts have been the most convincing, and now Cheng Yuan is just instilling it in Zhu Di in advance.

In the first year of Jianwen (1399), Emperor Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Dynasty intended to cut the domain. Someone told the king of Qi that he had the intention of rebellion, so he summoned him to Yingtianfu and deposed him as a concubine.

Cheng Yuan believes that these things will become the accumulation of Zhu Di's troops.

"Lord Wang, as far as I know, the princes have not yet written to the court, explaining anything, which means that they are not willing to slander King Zhou for rebellion.

Lord Wang, you have led troops for several years, and the people of the world have watched it, as long as you are worthy of your heart, play truthfully. Justice is at ease in people's hearts. ”

Seeing that Zhu Di had some doubts, Cheng Yuan said what he had to do: "The prince knows that I am some brothers in the rivers and lakes, and they can help spread the grievances of the prince of Zhou, and they can save the life of the king of Zhou." ”

The words of the people are the will of the people in a certain situation, and Zhu Di knew that doing so would be beneficial to their vassal kings.

Today, I like to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety and subdue the people, this method is feasible.

Cheng Yuan dared to guarantee that King Zhou's life would not be in danger because in history, the King of Qi was demoted to a commoner, and the King of Xiang set himself on fire.

King Zhou in exile for several years. Not only did I look for herbs to write books and essays, but I was also busy giving birth to a few children, this baby-making efficiency is so high, where will there be danger.

"Lord, I can guarantee you. The master will also say the same, in order to make sure, please ask the prince to see the master, maybe the master has something to say to you. Cheng Yuan gave Zhu Di another reassurance.

After all, he is young and has no court experience, Zhu Di will definitely have concerns and feel uneasy.

Sure enough, Cheng Yuan guessed correctly again.

"Okay, this king listens to you." Zhu Di also relieved himself when he heard that he could see Yao Guangxiao again.

Since Ge Cheng came back to monitor and coincided with the exile of King Zhou Zhou, Zhu Di did not dare to meet Yao Guangxiao rashly now, but he had to meet him.

"If you leave the house, you will be followed, and when you see the master at this time, I am afraid that the court will be suspicious if you know about it." Zhu Di was very embarrassed.

But Yao Guangxiao must see.

But how to see it, it's a question, and it's not being followed by the minions.

Avoiding Ge Cheng's personal entourage, he is not yet suspected.

Cheng Yuan didn't think of a good way for a while, so he didn't squeak.
