Zhu Di's gaze was calm and full of oppression, as if Gu Huai's rebellious words did not make his heart fluctuate.

"Why do you all scholars dare to say such rebellious words so lightly?" Zhu Di was a little puzzled, "I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, this sentence is really good to describe you." ”

He sighed: "I understand now, why my father wanted to set the Eight Strands of Jingyi as the standard for taking scholars, and it was you and Dao Yan who were guarded against." ”

Anyway, they had already said it, and Gu Huai's demeanor was a little more natural: "The first emperor is indeed far-sighted. ”

"Oh? Do you know what that means? ”

"In fact, the first meaning of the imperial examination is neither to select talents, nor to educate the world."

Gu Huai smiled: "In the end, it's just the four words 'cage warriors', if all the smart people in the world are put into the cage of Bagu, let them study the chapters and sentences, and be poor in white scriptures, these people will not be whimsical, and they will not be easily confused by crooked ways." ”

His expression was a little strange: "In this way, the scholars have settled down, and even if there are still people in the world who want to rebel, they are just some grass cowards and the like, and they can't make a big deal." ”

Zhu Di looked at Gu Huai carefully for a long time, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is very similar to Dao Yan... In the early years, I had a talk with Dao Yan about the north-south division of the imperial examination, and what he said was not much different from what you are saying now, but it was not as thorough as you. ”

Zhu Di squinted slightly, and his voice was slightly deep: "Since you understand, dare to persuade me to rebel?" Dao Yan and I are also teachers and friends, and they speak naturally without taboo, why do you dare to say it? ”

"Does the prince want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Let's talk about lies first," Zhu Di changed his posture to a more comfortable position, "I have heard too much truth, and I occasionally want to listen to the tricks of readers." ”

"It's nothing more than stargazing," Gu Huai smiled, "Beiping has a royal spirit, Ziwei Star is moving north or something... The prince must not want to hear it, so the grass people said something else. ”

"Now that the traitors in the DPRK are in charge, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others have entered the house, ignoring the people of the world, vainly trying to restore the Zhou rites and let the emperor rule by hanging the arch, it is a joke, now that the New Year has begun, the court decree must be issued soon, and the people's grievances in the world will arise, this is one of them."

"As the fourth son of the first emperor, the prince sits in Yanbei, holds heavy troops, stands in the grassland in Mobei, and is the heart of the people.

"The small household is still preaching, but the heavenly family disregards family affection, the first emperor died two months, the king of Zhou was demoted to a concubine, and now the meaning of the imperial court to cut the domain is well known, if there is a vassal king is degraded, how will the people view Your Majesty? It's... Third. ”

Zhu Di closed his eyes, he didn't know these things, on the contrary, he knew very well, and even some things that Gu Huai didn't say, Dao Yan had said countless times in front of him.

But what's the use? No matter how much the people complain, no matter how much they feel that the imperial court's actions to cut the feudal domain are too rushed, the imperial court is still the imperial court, orthodox, and the mandate of heaven.

He Zhu Laosi should be a prince, just because he was born late, he didn't have the life of the emperor in this life, he had to come to the north to guard as soon as his father gave an order, away from the prosperous south, and as soon as the court decree came, he would lead troops into the grassland to fight the barbarians, and he couldn't have the slightest dissatisfaction.

Now that my father is gone, as a son of man, I can't even see the last side, and I can't return to Beijing for the funeral, and the position of the vassal king may not be guaranteed, and the little rabbit cub on the dragon chair clearly wants the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty to die before he can rest assured.

Sure enough, it's a lie from a reader... It's useless to say it beautifully, it's too eye-catching, it's too high-handed, the theory is one set at a time, but there is nothing left when it is implemented.

He was a little tired: "What about the truth? ”

Gu Huai, who was slightly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere, was silent for a moment before continuing: "Because it is possible to fight one country in one place. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di's eyes were slightly cold, "Let's hear it." ”

The wind swept through the stone pavilion, Gu Huai sorted out the language prepared on the carriage along the way, and slowly spoke: "If you want to raise troops, it's just training, armor, time, and righteousness, that's all." ”

"If I have these actions, wouldn't it give the court a reason to use troops?" Zhu Di felt more and more bored, "The Beiping garrison was transferred, the imperial court appointed officials, and now I am also trapped in the palace, these simple things are nothing more than fantasy." ”

"What the prince said is, but there are many things that can be done secretly," Gu Huai paused, "Recruit and train soldiers, build weapons and armor, and win over court officials... These preparations are always to be done, as long as these can be done first, what about the imperial court? ”

"How?"

"Beiping is very big, there are a lot of people, recruit strong soldiers to serve as palace guards, and then train, how many specific recruits, naturally you can hide it, as long as you cover up the movement of training."

The wind blew Gu Huai's green shirt: "The grass people have been to the backyard of the palace, the palace is very large, and it is idle to be idle, used as a military camp... It must be good, too. ”

Zhu Di actually nodded: "Reasonable." ”

"Then there's the armor... This time into the grassland, presumably Ma Gonggong has already told the prince about the ins and outs, if nothing else, there is no problem with the raw materials, such a thing as raising troops... It's not okay to hold a stick and farm tools, the better the weapon, the thicker the armor, the greater the probability of success, the court can't count it, you have to make it yourself, as for the problem of making weapons and armor is too big... It can be solved underground, plant some trees around, and then build some places to raise chickens or pigs nearby, so that the underground is in full swing and the ground is not heard at all. ”

There was an extremely absurd scene in the stone pavilion, where a vassal king and a son-in-law seemed to be seriously discussing the possibility of a successful rebellion, one giving advice, the other thoughtful, as if these were not the most heinous and heinous things that shook the foundation of the rule.

"Anything else?"

"Then it's time, the prince is actually right, if he is 'seriously ill', he can naturally delay some time, but it is not enough."

Gu Huai shook his head slightly: "Only the folk are spreading... Not enough! It is necessary to convince the people, and the officials of Beiping believe that the prince is really on the verge of dying, so that the court's plan to cut the feudal domain will come to naught, so that His Majesty will not be able to attack his terminally ill uncle. ”

Gu Huai raised his gaze for the first time and looked directly into Zhu Di's eyes: "In other words, the prince must be crazy to show the people." ”

Zhu Di frowned slightly: "Do you want me to go out of the palace and pretend to be crazy and stupid?" ”

"Endure for a while, in exchange for enough time to prepare, the reward is likely to be thousands of miles, and the prince will never feel that this is a loss-making business?" Gu Huai smiled, "As long as it is successful, it will not be written in the history books, and... Don't dare to write. ”

"What about righteousness?"

"Huang, Qi and the like, isn't it a ready-made reason? The Son of Heaven was young, and he was mistakenly bewitched by traitorous ministers, and the prince, as the king of the Ming Dynasty, responded to every call and raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch, which is very reasonable... Of course, it can also be called differently. ”

The smile on Gu Huai's face was a little more mysterious: "How about 'Fengtian Jing'?" ”

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed.

He has fought all his life, and he has fought the world with the first emperor when he is young, and he has seen the scenes of blood flowing and drifting, thousands of corpses filling the river, and he has seen many cruel and terrifying pictures, but at this time, the gentle smile on the face of the green-shirted scholar in front of him made him feel more thrilling than those previous pictures.

These readers... It's really scary.

Just because of ambition, you want to make the whole world mess up?

It's just that for a moment, his evaluation of Gu Huai was a little higher, not just the so-called "grenades" and "penicillin" and other whimsical ideas, but the danger of wanting to disrupt the world and having the ability to make the world chaotic.

He chuckled softly: "It's really the way to say... If I really want to rebel, you deserve to say 'Mr. Gu'. ”

Lowering his eyes slightly, he waved his hand:

"Let's go down."
