Yao Guangxiao, a native of Changzhou, Suzhou, became a monk at the age of 14, and his Dharma name was Daoyan.

Although he is a Buddhist, he has a restless heart.

He is not only proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but also knows astrology, gossip, physiognomy, and the art of war.

Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao met in Hongwu for 18 years.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang is from Buddhism, he also has requirements for his sons, so that there are monks around each of them to preach the scriptures and recommend blessings.

At that time, not everyone was pure in all six roots, and all four were empty.

It is extremely important to follow which vassal king to follow.

After the vassal kings came in, Yao Guangxiao saw at a glance that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, had the appearance of an emperor, so he promised to give the 'white hat vassal king' as a courtesy, and let Zhu Di choose him.

Later, Yao Guangxiao followed Zhu Di to Beiping and soon became his confidant.

If there is a big event, Zhu Di will discuss with him.

After Zhu Di's funeral was rejected, Yao Guangxiao reminded Zhu Di that the imperial court intended to cut the feudal domain, and on this ground, let Zhu Di prepare early.

But at that time, Zhu Di had not yet made up his mind, so he politely refused.

After all, rebellion is not a trivial matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang back then, had a bad life, his parents died, and the protagonist who was alive and well, it was a pity not to rebel.

And now Zhu Di not only has a car and a house, but also a beautiful wife and a lovely son.

It's okay to go out to fight, bully people of other races, and don't live too comfortably.

You let him rebel, so don't you think about it carefully?

But Zhu Le is not Zhu Di.

He was familiar with history and knew that the rebellion would succeed, so he did not hesitate to start preparations.

It's like, you know the winning numbers in the lottery, will you not buy them?

But Zhu Le still didn't expect that his prediction would succeed in turning the danger into a disaster.

If Zhu Yunwen's inspection is not predicted, I am afraid that history will be changed.

After a little groaning, Zhu Le looked at Yao Guangxiao again and said solemnly: "Master, now you should trust the judgment of this king, right?" If there's even the slightest possibility, we can't let it happen! ”

"What the prince said is reasonable, but the poor monk is not considerable."

Yao Guangxiao nodded thoughtfully.

Zhu Le said in a deep voice: "The master doesn't have to blame himself in this matter, the top priority is to make two arrangements first, one is to let the third son go to Beijing immediately to guard filial piety, and the other is to advertise the people and the army, and the court wants the king to bring illness into Beijing." ”

"Lord Wang, is this going to coerce the general trend?"

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Le and seemed to understand something.

"This king brought illness into Beijing, and it was a plague again, do you think Zhu Yunwen will accept it?"

Zhu Le asked rhetorically with interest, and said: "If this king declares a place as a country again, what will the court think of this king?" ”

"One land for one country?"

Yao Guangxiao was stunned, and said with some puzzlement: "What does this mean?" ”

"It means to sacrifice the king and save the country."

Zhu Le said meaningfully: "This king is infected with the plague, in order to protect the people of the dawn of the capital, in order to protect His Majesty and the hundred officials of the imperial court, he is willing to imprison himself in Yandi and cure the disease!" ”

At this point, he paused, and then said: "The master said, who dares to threaten to cut the vassal of this king? ”

"Hiss ....."

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but gasp when he heard Zhu Le's words.

This is simply the extreme use of the general trend.

Putting yourself on the moral high ground is equivalent to putting yourself in an invincible position.

Even if Yao Guangxiao is well versed in strategy, he has to admire Zhu Le's cleverness.

However, the plague that Zhu Le said still made him a little jealous.

"Although the prince's plan has many wins in one fell swoop, the plague should not be underestimated, is the prince really sure?"

"Master rest assured, this king never does anything that he is not sure of!"

Zhu Le smiled and comforted Yao Guangxiao, and then said to Qiu Fu outside the door: "Qiu Fu, go and catch a few mice for this king, remember not to let others find out." ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Fu was ordered to retreat, and Yao Guangxiao's face was full of doubts.

But Zhu Le didn't intend to explain.

Because even if he explained, he couldn't understand it.

.......

At the same time, the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Wuying Palace.

Zhu Guanwen is brainwashing Fang Xiaoru.

No way, this guy's fate is too miserable.

Zhu Guanwen didn't want him to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Mr. Fang, do you know what is the most important thing in the world?"

Zhu Guanwen sat opposite Fang Xiaoru and asked in a sincere tone.

Fang Xiaoru thought for a while and said, "Jiangshan Sheji! ”

"That Ming Dynasty, in Mr. Fang's words, can it beat the Zhou Dynasty?"

"This...."

Fang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, stroked his beard and said: "If His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun ascends the throne and changes to the Zhou system, he should be able to match each other!" ”

He didn't say anything to death, he just wanted to leave some leeway.

But Zhu Guanwen didn't want to leave room for him, and asked: "The Zhou Dynasty implemented a sub-feudal system, and our dynasty also implemented a sub-feudal system, why did Mr. Fang suggest that the feudal domain be cut alone?" ”

"Huh?"

Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, Didn't you agree to cut the domain? How to ask me in reverse!

But I heard Zhu Guanwen continue: "The Zhou Dynasty implemented the sub-feudal system, extending the national fortune for 800 years, and our dynasty implemented the sub-feudal system, why can't it be longer?" ”

"This...."

Fang Xiaoru hesitated: "This is different!" ”

"What's the difference?"

"Zhou Tianzi divided the kings, and all the kings recognized the rule of Zhou Tianzi, but the vassal kings of our dynasty were not really."

"Oh?" Zhu Guanwen raised his eyebrows: "According to Mr. Fang's statement, those uncles of Lone don't recognize Lone?" ”

"Can't say that, it's just ....."

"Just what? If Mr. Fang has something to say, you might as well say it directly! ”

Zhu Guanwen looked at Fang Xiaoru with a solemn face, Fang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, and said: "The more than 20 vassal kings set up by the first emperor can command local armies, although they only ask about local political affairs, and these vassal kings are also in charge of troops ranging from 3,000 to 10,000. ”

"Even if the imperial army passes through the fiefdom of the vassal king, it must be approved by the vassal king."

"In the long run, the prestige of the imperial court will gradually be lost!"

"Meaning, Mr. Fang doesn't approve of the sub-sealing system?"

Zhu Guanwen grasped the key point, but Fang Xiaoru denied it: "It's not, it's mainly the feudal kings of the first emperor, and they are not very peaceful." ”

"I see!"

Zhu Guanwen nodded abruptly and said, "It turns out that Mr. Fang is not worried about those uncles who are lonely. ”

"Why does His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson ask knowingly?"

Fang Xiaoru frowned.

He felt that Zhu Guanwen was teasing himself.

But Zhu Guanwen changed the topic and said: "Two days ago, Mr. Huang and Mr. Qi came to find Gu and asked Gu to start cutting the domain after he ascended the throne. ”

"Why is that?" Fang Xiaoru was a little puzzled.

Zhu Guanwen muttered: "Compared with the sub-feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, the sub-feudal system of our dynasty is more perfect, and those vassal kings are all the sons of the emperor's grandfather, even if they are restless, they dare not rebel openly." ”

"If Lone just ascended the throne and cut the domain, one is incompatible with etiquette, and the other is unkind, which makes the uncles who are already disobedient to Lone hate Lone even more!"

"His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson is benevolent, and the ministers are deeply admired, but the trouble of the vassal king must be solved after all!"

Fang Xiaoru said: "The trouble of the vassal king is not the rebellion of the vassal king, but their harm to the place!" ”

"Zhou Tianzi divided the kings, and the kings were governing the country with their hearts, but most of the current vassal kings were selfish and despicable."

"Even so, there is no rush for a while."

Zhu Guanwen looked at Fang Xiaoru and said frankly: "I came to Mr. Fang, but I actually wanted Mr. Fang to help me!" ”
