Shuntianfu, Chang'an Street, Hufu.

Looking at this bustling street, Hu Sui didn't know for a moment whether he was right or wrong to come to Xinjing.

Thanks to his father, he entered the cabinet at the age of his establishment, which can be regarded as fulfilling his father's wish, and he is also the youngest member of the cabinet.

Originally, he was full of confidence, but today, this first meeting, he was very disappointed.

He didn't know why Emperor Hongxi chose not to send troops, obviously now is the best time, once he loses it, he may not have it again in the future.

He didn't know why Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi were convinced that King Wu's line would eventually rebel, so they took precautions against it.

He didn't know if this Yongle Emperor had only died for less than half a year, or if it was not the Ming when the Yongle Emperor was in power.

"Brother, drink less." Hu Mu reached out and pressed his brother's hand to pour the wine again.

"You and I both know that the current majesty is not the first emperor, the first emperor was determined to expand the territory and finish the war for future generations, but the current majesty aims to recuperate and recuperate the people."

"Besides, you can't find any reason to refute it."

Hu Sui listened to his brother's words, his eyes were full of loss.

yes, what reason does he have?

The first emperor died, and he had already joined the Fengnazi Palace, and he would enter the tomb when everything was prepared on the Changling side.

Everything has been prepared, and Emperor Zhu Gaochi of Hongxi has also set a date, preparing to send the emperor to the mausoleum on the tenth day of the fifth month.

This alone is enough to overturn all of Hu Sui's words.

I also want to know, what in this world can be more important than the funeral of the former emperor?

"Relax." Hu Mu patted his brother's shoulder, with a little emotion in his tone.

"Perhaps, you and my brother are wrong, and Your Majesty is the one who thinks the most right."

Hearing this, Hu Sui raised his head sharply and stared at his younger brother deadly.

However, in the face of his brother's gaze, Hu Mu was very calm.

"Brother, have you ever wondered why His Royal Highness King Wu was in such a hurry and left Xiangzhou Mansion not long after the wedding and went to the Timurid Empire, thousands of miles away?"

"I know, we have discussed before, and you and I both think that it is to avoid suspicion and to give the emperor the final stability." Feeling the change in his brother's gaze, Hu Mu interrupted his brother's desire to speak in advance.

"But, brother, have you ever thought that His Royal Highness King Wu really thinks like this?"

Hu Sui's eyes slowly glazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hu Mu didn't care about the changes in his brother, but talked to himself.

"I think we were too narrow-minded, too utilitarian, and put everyone in the framework of doing things for the sake of profit."

"But think about it, if it wasn't for the right, not for that position, then after hearing that the emperor was seriously ill, he desperately left Xiangzhou Mansion and came to this Shuntian Mansion, just to see His Royal Highness King Wu, what was it for?"

"Think about it again, if it weren't for the sake of power, after learning that his father left Xiangzhou Mansion and came to Shuntian Mansion, knowing that his arrival would cause turbulent waves, His Royal Highness King Wu, what was it for?"

"Is it possible that His Royal Highness King Wu entered Beijing just as a son and wanted to see his father one last time before he died?"

"Is it possible that His Royal Highness King Wu entered Beijing when he knew that he would arouse suspicion from all parties and that his own safety was also a great threat, not only to see his grandfather, but also to reassure his father?"

"If you think so, His Royal Highness King Wu entered the Timurid Empire this time, isn't it ......?"

Hu Mu didn't finish his words, turned his head to look at the bustling street outside the door, and there was silence for a while.

Hu Sui's eyes were glazed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Say what?

Previously, he habitually linked people's behavior with interests, not to mention that the prince and the king of Han fought so fiercely at the beginning, and now it is showing a momentum of no distinction between the top and the bottom.

Therefore, he subjectively believes that Zhu Zhanyan went west at this time just to avoid suspicion, just to tell the world that he has that ability, but he doesn't have that idea.

But now, ......

Zhu Zhan's westward expedition made the Eastern Chagatai Khanate rumorful, because Zhu Zhan's current Syr Darya River can enter the Pamir Plateau as long as it goes east, and then to the east......

It was possible to pass through the ancient Silk Road and directly threaten the rear of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

If Zhu Zhan Yan only went to fight as the world thought, then why did he stop advancing after arriving at the Syr Darya, but began to let people go around to find out the news?

After listening to his brother's words, a bold idea rose in Hu Sui's heart.

An idea that is ethical, but hardly human.

……

Shuntianfu, Qingning Palace.

After dinner, Zhu Gaochi rarely rushed into the study to deal with government affairs, but came to the door of the Fengtian Hall and sat on the steps next to the Dan Majesty Stone.

Fengtian Palace, which is the former name of the Huangji Palace, is the current name.

Looking at the empty Danqi in front of him, Zhu Gaochi was carrying the wine jug, his face full of worries.

"Daddy......"

A slightly faint voice sounded, and Zhu Gaochi turned his head to see that his son was standing on the right side of the Fengtian Temple, looking at him.

"Come here." Zhu Gaochi beckoned.

"Do you want to ask why Hu Sui's proposal was rejected by me today?"

Zhu Gaochi guessed his son's thoughts at a glance, because not only his own son, but almost everyone in Wenhua Hall today thinks like this.

That's right, Zhu Gaochi did veto Hu Sui's proposal to send troops to the grassland on the grounds that the former emperor was about to enter the mausoleum.

But in reality, it was quite unexpected, and it was a surprise for everyone.

Zhu Gaochi has always been known for his benevolence, and it seems that not sending troops is the most suitable for his personality, but in fact, it is not.

When King Wu is trying to show himself, he seems to be not weaker than others, at least to prove that he is no worse than King Wu.

Moreover, the grassland can be said to be the heart disease of the first emperor, if it can be solved, the benefits to Zhu Gaochi are obvious.

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Gaochi was the one who should support the most sending troops, but he vetoed it.

Everyone didn't understand, and so did Zhu Zhanji.

"Zhanji, what did you see through what Hu Sui said today?" Zhu Gaochi's gaze refocused on the Danqi in front of him, and asked his son casually.

……

Zhu Zhanji didn't know how to answer for a while.

What did he see? I saw the opportunity, I saw the future, and I saw the ......

own cousin.
