When Zhu Di heard Zhu Gui's words, he immediately showed a helpless smile, he stood up and took two steps in the direction of the door, then turned back and said: "Thirteenth brother, let's put it this way, our imperial nephew is different from his father, if he becomes the emperor, I'm afraid the first thing to do is to deal with us." ”

"Against us? How so? Zhu Gui pretended to be surprised and asked, but he didn't think so.

He can now probably guess that Zhu Di is probably here to find an ally, it turns out that Zhu Gui already has a different heart at this time, it seems that he has a very good opinion on Zhu Yuanzhang's disrespect for the ancestral system and his insistence on passing the crown prince to Zhu Yunwen.

"That Fang Xiaoru, his biggest proposition is to cut the domain, what is the domain? Of course, it is us vassal kings, and now that there is no war in the north, we vassal kings have become the biggest hidden danger to the imperial court. Zhu Di said angrily.

Zhu Di's anger is understandable, after all, he has been the king of Yan for many years, but he has not fought against the Mongols in Yandi, and it can be regarded as stabilizing the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "What the fourth brother said is indeed true, but we can't do anything about this matter, right?" The feudal position is set by the emperor and the imperial court, and if the new emperor wants to cut the feudal domain, we can only let it go. ”

"Left to chance?"

When Zhu Di heard Zhu Gui's words, he didn't know if he was angry, but he laughed.

"No matter what, this king will never agree to this matter, Brother Thirteen, you have also fought with the Mongols, do you really think they will willingly submit to the Ming Dynasty? What if we, the vassal kings, are really abolished, and the Mongols come back to attack the border passes? ”

Zhu Di said to Zhu Gui very seriously.

"What the four said is not unreasonable, but, fourth brother, you still say what you think, right?" Zhu Gui pretended to be very puzzled and asked.

"It's very simple, Yandi and Yunzhou are adjacent to each other, as long as we can join forces, we can completely disobey the orders of the feudal domain." Zhu Di approached Zhu Gui, stared into his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"W-Isn't this okay? Isn't that the same as breakfast? Zhu Gui said with a frown.

"What about rebellion? Anyway, Zhu Yunwen's throne was not rightly obtained, and he was so young, Daming had no hope in his hands. ”

Zhu Di clenched his fists and said.

“……”

Zhu Gui was speechless for a while, he didn't expect Zhu Di's ambition to be so big, and he was so bold, he already had the idea of rebellion when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive.

It seems that he is also an old grudge man.

But it is obviously impossible for him to make his attitude clear now.

After all, although Zhu Yuanzhang's health is not as good as before, Yu Wei is still there, even if Zhu Di is added, the two of them will not be able to compete with the imperial court at all.

And according to Zhu Gui's original plan, this is also a path he will not choose unless he has to.

But if he doesn't stabilize Zhu Di now, I'm afraid he will be regarded as a threat by Zhu Di.

So Zhu Gui said: "Fourth brother, you really think highly of this king, Yunzhou is not as good as Yandi, where the land is barren, the population is withered, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is very limited, and this king is only good at doing some small business, if you really talk about fighting, the gap between this king and the fourth brother is still too big." ”

Zhu Gui euphemistically expressed his thoughts, that is, he was not unwilling to cooperate, but his family was thin and his strength was limited.

Zhu Di seemed to have expected Zhu Gui to say this, he stood up, put his hand on Zhu Gui's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, if that day really comes, the matter of the war will be handed over to this king, you just need to provide some firearms to the fourth brother, and after the matter is completed, we can divide the world equally." ”

Divide the world equally? I believe you're a ghost.

Zhu Gui remembered that after Zhu Di seized the world in history, he completely implemented the policy of cutting the feudal domain, and several other feudal kings also became nominal existences.

However, at this time, Zhu Gui showed a very excited look: "This is naturally the best, but maybe there are other ways to solve this problem, unless it is a last resort, it is best for our Zhu family descendants not to kill each other, that will only make future generations laugh." ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he just snorted coldly, obviously disdainful of Zhu Gui's statement.

But that's right, Zhu Yuanzhang himself killed several sons, he is not afraid of the jokes of future generations, will Zhu Di be worried?

In fact, this time Zhu Di came to Zhu Gui to express his thoughts on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to bind Zhu Gui, so that even if he was not on his side, he could not fall to the court.

Mainly because the firearms in Zhu Gui's hands can really affect the battle situation, Zhu Di's strength is at an absolute disadvantage compared with the imperial court, if the imperial court army has firearms again, then he doesn't have to fight.

On the other hand, once Zhu Di's army can be equipped with firearms on a large scale, his chances of victory will be improved a lot.

This is also the reason why Zhu Di did not hesitate to take risks to tell Zhu Gui his thoughts.

And he only told Zhu Gui alone, and even Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun didn't know about it, which shows that Zhu Di attaches great importance to Zhu Gui.

The two talked for another half an hour, and Zhu Di also wanted to buy a batch of three-eyed guns from Zhu Gui, but Zhu Gui politely refused, but he didn't completely refuse, but gave him a little hope.

The two sides agreed that if it really came to the day when the feudal domain was cut, Zhu Gui would fully cooperate with Zhu Di and provide him with a large number of firearms at the same time.

Zhu Di left satisfied.

Zhu Gui sat alone in the living room rubbing his forehead, and at the same time with both sides of the snake, he still felt exhausted.

But now is the growth period of his career, and before his strength is enough to deter others, he can only use strategy to increase his side's chips.

……

On the third day of Zhu Gui's arrival in Nanjing, the prince's zombie finally officially began.

This is the most solemn funeral since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

All the princes, vassal kings, ministers, and half of the concubines participated.

Hundreds of thousands of people throughout the city of Nanjing have left the city and gone to the suburbs.

The address of the royal cemetery has long been chosen.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum has also been built for many years, but I didn't expect the crown prince Zhu Biao to walk in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and become the first member of the royal family to be buried here (several feudal kings who died before were arranged in the corner of the cemetery).

After the funeral procession circled around the city several times, they went all the way out of the city to the mountain where the cemetery was located, followed by the procession that stretched for dozens of miles.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wore a plain suit and sat on top of Luanjia, and he looked even more haggard at this time.
