Chapter 141: King Jin is out
Chapter 141: King Jin is out
Because today, the prince's line has lost the most.
Even if the prince is gone, the prince's lineage is also a lineage, because there is a place at the front, which is a must. The status of the lineage is higher than that of others, which is the inevitability of the patriarchy. However, the two brothers, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen, watched King Jin win the biggest cake, but they did not resist.
That's the problem.
Yes, King Jin is their elder, but the problem is that the political struggle doesn't care about it.
If we cannot even protect our own political interests, how will we face an even more dangerous situation in the future? How can Zhu Yuanzhang believe that one of the two of them can master the ship of Daming.
It is not without reason that the country depends on Changjun.
Even before the big storm, Zhu Yuanzhang needed a steady helmsman.
Of course, King Jin is not, but Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen are too tender.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at King Yan and King Zhou, and there was a trace of thought in his heart, but he also knew that the matter in front of him had to be dealt with first, so he called King Jin to his side and said: "It's just right, the Ministry of Rites said that someone needs someone to preside over Xiaoling, you go there and guard it." ”
King Jin was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe his ears.
First of all, King Jin didn't remember that there was this need, after all, the Ministry of Rites arranged the funeral process, and King Jin had already seen it. Naturally, it is clear what is inside.
Secondly, keeping a vigil in the mourning hall is to show one's status, but what to do at the filial piety tomb? And what's the use?
But can King Jin refuse?
Naturally, it can't.
Regardless of whether there is such an arrangement or not, when Zhu Yuanzhang speaks, this arrangement will definitely be there.
King Jin had no room to refuse.
King Jin could only salute and say, "Yes." ”
Many people present saw it, and they all knew what it meant. At least the representative, King Jin may be completely out.
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze swept over, King Yan and King Zhou. Suddenly said: "Old Five, you have to worry about things here." ”
King Zhou was stunned for a moment, glanced at King Yan, and seemed to be a little puzzled, but in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he didn't dare to refuse, and said, "Yes." ”
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang skipped King Yan and put King Zhou in charge of this matter was actually to see how King Yan reacted? To see the essence of a person, it is necessary to put the person in a special environment, put the person in an emotionally unstable situation, and thus observe the essence of the person.
Zhu Yuanzhang is this method.
He has expectations for King Yan.
At the same time, he was also worried about King Yan.
At least, he has not yet settled down in his heart, and he also does not have this mind. He had more of his mind on Queen Ma, arranging all this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Queen Ma's spiritual seat, and he secretly said in his heart: "Sister, what do you want me to do?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not stay long, and then left.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang left, the shock he brought did not leave.
King Zhou was at least much smarter than King Jin, and he immediately understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with King Jin, so he adjusted his position, with the prince in front, the prince and King Qin, the king of Jin, King Yan and him in front, and the rest in the back. But no one is particularly prominent.
However, after doing these things, King Zhou was still a little uneasy in his heart, and asked King Yan in a low voice: "Fourth brother, what do you think of this arrangement?" ”
King Yan glanced at King Zhou and said, "Not bad." ”
King Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, what does this arrangement mean?" ”
King Yan didn't look at King Zhou, and said indifferently: "You really don't know what you mean?" ”
This sentence stopped King Zhou. Because King Zhou can guess what Zhu Yuanzhang means! Because he never thought to hide it. Naked impotence.
Isn't it to pull the King of Zhou into the battlefield of seizing the heir, and push the King of Zhou, who was originally on the edge, into the center.
King Zhou saw it very clearly, the reason why he asked like this, on the one hand, King Zhou couldn't understand what Zhu Wuzhang meant, and on the other hand, he tested King Yan's attitude, because he felt that among the brothers, King Yan was the most likely, after all, King Jin was out, King Yan became the head of the clan, and King Yan's ability and prestige were in the Great Break Mongolia, and King Yan's army was mighty and well-known. The forces are not weak either. It is one of the few brothers among you.
Before King Zhou could organize the language again, King Yan had already spoken, and said, "Or do you want to ask me what I think of you, what do you mean?" ”
Yan Wang's sentence is like a tongue twister, but the meaning is very clear.
King Zhou was silent for a while, and said, "Please also ask the fourth brother for some advice." ”
King Yan said: "When I came this time, I didn't think about staying in Nanjing for a long time, and Yan Guo couldn't do without me." At this time, when I leave the grassland, everything on the grassland will fall short. I think it's on the northern frontier. So, if you really have any ideas, you just do it. I'm sticking with you. ”
King Yan's words are both true and false.
To tell the truth, what King Yan said was his true thoughts, King Yan was not interested in the throne, and he was free and easy.
But it's also a lie. A prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince.
It's just that King Yan has long formulated his own action strategy. That is to leave room and not be overly involved.
But King Yan still has a little envy of King Zhou's encounter. However, King Yan had a good relationship with King Zhou. If King Zhou becomes the emperor, King Yan can actually accept it.
King Zhou said: "Thank you, Fourth Brother." ”
"Still." King Yan said: "You also have to think clearly, the road to winning the heir, once you go up, it is likely that you will have to go all the way to the dark." There is no other way to go. ”
King Zhou fell into deep thought.
It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang's test this time was not only a test for King Yan, but also a test for King Zhou. King Yan didn't lose points. But I don't know if King Zhou lost points.
------
Because of the vigil, these vassal kings only had a small room for rest, and when King Zhou was resting, the door moved, and someone pushed the door in.
King Zhou woke up and saw that it was Feng Sheng and said, "Father-in-law, why are you here?" ”
Feng Sheng's face was serious and he said, "Long story short, I already know about today's events. I'm here this time to ask what you mean. ”
King Zhou was about to speak, Feng Sheng interrupted King Zhou's words and said, "Listen to me first, I only have two daughters, one is married to the Chang family, and there is no hope." Although there is a step-on-heir, where can I compare to my grandson, just this point, if you want to say that you have a thought, I will give my life to help you. But you are in Nanyang all the year round, I don't know the current situation, let me tell you this, Zhu Xiongying has Lan Yu behind him, He Xi, Zhu Yunwen behind Fang Xiaoru Cabinet Six and other civil officials, the power behind King Jin is a little thinner, King Yan is the son-in-law of Wei Guogong, although Xu Da has not done anything all these years, this one thing will not be fully invested, he is His Majesty's person, but the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law cannot run. As for the others, Fu Youde is rough, I know that he waits for the price to sell, and when he is old, he can't get out of bed. As for the others, you have me, I have you, plus the matter of changing the law, it can be said that in the city of Nanjing, if you don't kill people's heads, you will never win. ”
Speaking of this, Feng Sheng sighed and said, "To be honest, it's a pity for the prince. The only person in the world who can sit in this position is the prince. The prince may be embarrassed, but others can only use knives. It's just a matter of degree. ”
"If you really have this mind, then be mentally prepared. Get ready to fight. ”
When King Zhou heard Feng Sheng say this, his head buzzed for a while. When King Zhou came from Nanyang, he had this idea, but he didn't have many ideas. If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't made such a play, he wouldn't have much of a strong desire. Now suddenly there are so many problems.
The complicated situation of the imperial court, the forces of all sides of the imperial court that no one can settle, is like a crater of the prince.
In an instant, King Zhou felt a little timid in his heart.
Seeing this, Feng Sheng knew that King Zhou couldn't think clearly for a while. Feng Sheng said: "I'll go first, I'd better not let Your Majesty know when I'm here today, think about it." Feng Sheng wanted to add something, but finally turned into a sigh.
Some people died, but not completely......
