When Zhu Gui heard Zhu Yunwen's words, his brows immediately furrowed.

The first thing he felt was anger, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would make him pay some price for the stability of Zhu Yunwen's throne, but now this situation is no longer so simple as the price, but to uproot him.

As for Fang Xiaoru, on the contrary, Zhu Gui knew a little about him, and he didn't feel too surprised, and it was precisely because of this person that the final outbreak of the 'Battle of Jingjing' was caused.

At the same time, what surprised Zhu Gui was that Zhu Yunwen was able to tell him this kind of thing, did he still have a clear conscience?

Thinking of this, Zhu Gui sighed lightly, and then said to Zhu Yunwen: "Yunwen, what you said today, this king should not have heard it, you must not let your imperial grandfather know, understand?" ”

A tangled emotion appeared on Zhu Yunwen's face, and he didn't know if he regretted his impulsiveness just now, but he could only nod at this time.

"Uncle Huang, in fact, I also think that the policy of cutting feudal domains is conducive to the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty, now that the crisis of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is over, there is no need to maintain heavy troops at the border gates, what do you think?"

In fact, Zhu Yunwen very much wants to get Zhu Gui's approval, but the other party is one of the vassal kings, once the domain is cut, there will be a rift between the two sides, although Zhu Yunwen does not believe that Zhu Gui will choose to confront the court because of this, but he still hopes that Zhu Gui can stand on his side.

In this way, he doesn't have to use the methods taught to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, and at the same time, he can make Zhu Gui the person he relies on the most.

Zhu Gui had already felt the unprecedented crisis at this time, and he didn't feel Zhu Yunwen's true thoughts, and even if he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree.

After all, once you agree, it will be tantamount to abolishing your martial arts, so Zhu Gui should not think about making a difference in the future.

However, in the face of Zhu Yunwen's remarks, if he objected, if it finally reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, I am afraid that it would be a question of whether he could leave Nanjing this time.

So Zhu Gui had no choice but to nod and said: "Your idea is indeed right, but the problem of the Northern Yuan has not been completely solved, although the queen of the Northern Yuan has returned to the Ming Dynasty, but now the tribal forces within the Beiyuan have shown signs of splitting, I am afraid that the Mongols will make a comeback soon." ”

"What? Is there such a thing? When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he immediately stood up, with a shocked look on his face, it seemed that he really didn't know anything about this matter.

But this is not to blame him, he has not yet become the prince, many major events in the court and politics have not been handled, and now it is a special period, Zhu Yuanzhang is likely to suppress this information and deal with it after the prince's funeral is over.

"This king doesn't want to interfere with your decision, but the way of the emperor has always been based on weighing the pros and cons, if you can solve the internal contradictions of the Northern Yuan after inheriting the throne, the imperial uncle is also willing to cooperate with the cutting of the domain, in short, everything is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Gui said earnestly.

Anyway, it's just talking, the right is a delaying tactic, and Zhu Yunwen has not yet become the crown prince, and no third person knows about the conversation between the two, and when the 'Battle of Jingjing' breaks out, he can completely ignore the decrees of the imperial court.

"It's great that Uncle Huang can understand me, in the future, Uncle Huang can govern the Ming Dynasty with me, I believe that with Uncle Huang's means, I will definitely make the Ming Dynasty the most powerful dynasty ever."

Zhu Yunwen walked over excitedly and grabbed Zhu Gui's arm and said.

Zhu Gui could only nod in agreement, a somewhat unnatural look flashed on his face, and he seemed to have some uneasy conscience about deceiving Zhu Yunwen.

But he soon reminded himself that conscience and power are like fish and bear's paws, and they cannot have both.

Soon, Zhu Yunwen left with a full face, and he had already got the answer he wanted.

Just like Zhu Gui's judgment of him, Zhu Yunwen, like his father Zhu Biao, is too benevolent, which is actually the biggest flaw of the ruler.

It is precisely because of this that in history, he lost to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was more ruthless than him, in an absolutely advantageous situation.

After Zhu Yunwen left, Xu Miaoqing came to Zhu Gui in a step.

"Lord Wang, are you okay?"

Zhu Gui shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it for the time being, but as soon as the prince's funeral is over, we have to leave Nanjing as soon as possible." ”

……

In the afternoon of the same day, another heavyweight guest came to the Acting Palace, Yanwang Zhu Di.

However, compared with Zhu Yunwen, he didn't have any shelf, and after getting out of the carriage, he entered the palace alone.

When Zhu Gui received the news, Zhu Di had already come to the main hall.

"Thirteen Emperor Brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhu Di walked over and patted Zhu Gui's shoulder and said.

"Sister, I've seen King Yan." Xu Miaoqing habitually wanted to call 'brother-in-law', but quickly reacted, and then quickly withdrew after the ceremony, leaving room for the two to talk.

"Fourth brother, why are you here?" Zhu Gui asked with some curiosity.

"Of course I came to see you, you 'donated' 500,000 taels yesterday, right? I heard that last month, you have 'donated' millions of taels? Zhu Di said with a smile.

"Hey, don't mention it, I finally saved some silver, and I thought about making a few more firearms, but I didn't expect to be pitted by the emperor."

Zhu Guike was not as tactful as Zhu Di, and directly began to complain.

When Zhu Di heard the word 'firearms', his eyes lit up obviously, but he hid it well.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, this king has also heard a more important news, brother Huang, have you heard of Fang Xiaoru?" Zhu Di asked in a tentative tone.

In fact, Fang Xiaoru is a person who has only become a university scholar in the past six months, and he was directly arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang to be a teacher by Zhu Yuanzhang without any political achievements.

The average person may not be very familiar with this person at all.

If Zhu Gui hadn't known about the history of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid he wouldn't have paid attention to a scholar.

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "This king has indeed heard this name, he seems to be the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, right?" Is there any purpose for the fourth brother to ask this? ”

Although Zhu Gui already knew what Zhu Di meant in his heart, he asked quietly on the surface.

Zhu Di didn't expect Zhu Gui to know Fang Xiaoru's name, he originally wanted to explain, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.

So he said directly: "This person was assigned to Yun Wei by his father, and he is likely to become a powerful minister in the court in the future, and Yun Wei trusts him very much." ”

Zhu Gui nodded, and said noncommittally: "Since it is arranged by my father, it is naturally his intention, aren't all such courtiers in all dynasties?" What does the fourth brother care about? ”
