The people of Shuntianfu, but anyone who has a little knowledge, no matter how bad they like to talk about those messes after dinner, also know that the situation of the current emperor is not good.

In the past, Emperor Taizong was here, but later Emperor Taizong died and died, and Emperor Hongxi was able to barely stabilize the situation, at least there was no chaos.

But today's Emperor Xuande is different.

King Wu is very strong, but it is not King Wu who is strong, but the son of King Wu.

Therefore, after Emperor Taizong died and died, Emperor Hongxi was still able to stabilize the situation.

But Emperor Xuande couldn't.

The powerful prince of Wu and Emperor Xuande are of the same generation, but in terms of credit, especially for the Ming Dynasty, the prince of Wu is much stronger than Emperor Xuande, too much......

Everyone knows that the prince of Wu is ruthless, and it is rare to see it in eternity.

Tatar, Jiaozhi, Wa, Siam, and even the Timurid Empire, but whenever they were targeted by the prince of Wu, the final outcome was not very good.

Not only will the country be destroyed, but there will also be a large number of casualties, and even all of them will hurt the foundation, almost to the point of destroying the country.

So far, only the Khmer, Champa and Delhi Sultans have been able to guarantee complete under the Son of Wu Wang, but those have either surrendered early or have been rebelled by their own people.

In other words, those that Zhu Zhan Yan directly received in the past were all well preserved in the end, and all those who needed Zhu Zhan Yan to send troops to fight did not end well.

In such a situation, it is such a person who stands on the opposite side of the imperial court, and the people of Shuntianfu often can't help but worry when they are chatting after tea and dinner.

They were worried that once a conflict broke out in the future, whether it was the imperial court taking the lead in attacking and eradicating the disaster in advance, or Zhu Zhan Yan raising troops to appease the army and purging the monarch in accordance with Emperor Taizong's edict, they were all worried about the final result.

Judging from the current situation, everyone knows that the imperial court has little chance of winning, and they are worried that after the murderous prince of Wu enters the Shuntian Mansion, he will not be as aggressive as he did when he conquered the enemy country before.

Some people think that they will, because as the old saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Although the strategy of the prince of Wu is cruel, it is the most effective method, you have not seen the destruction of the country for many years, but it is still the Ming Dynasty in management, the original Japanese people are farming, and the young and strong are mining for the Ming Dynasty.

Human nature is inherently rebellious, and there is no shortage of people who raise each other's bars everywhere, so some people say that there are naturally people who oppose it.

Some people think that it will not, because it has been sixteen years since the seventh year of Yongle, and Zhu Zhanyan can be said to have killed countless people in the past sixteen years, but these people have an almost fixed position.

Corrupt officials, profiteers, and foreign enemies......

In the past 16 years, no one has ever heard of Zhu Zhan killing innocents indiscriminately and killing the people of the Ming Dynasty.

But neither for nor against, they did not expect the day to come so quickly, so fast that they were unprepared.

It also came so quietly, so quietly that they didn't even know anything, and the army with the two big banners of Ming and Wu entered Yingtian.

In the same way, they did not expect that the three major battalions stationed in the north of the Shuncheon Imperial City were not prepared at all.

They didn't expect that the defenders of the Shuntian Imperial City didn't even resist, and they also opened the city gate to welcome the Wu Wangjun into the city.

In the end, they couldn't have imagined that the current Empress Dowager Zhang, the British Gong Zhang Fu, and the Hubu Shangshu Xia Yuanji and others personally went out of the city to welcome Wu Wangjun into the city.

It's night, the Royal Palace.

In front of the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Zhanqi sat on the top of the Dan Majesty Stone, looked at the wide but empty Dan Qi below, looked at the exquisite dragon-shaped pattern on the Dan Majesty Stone, and let out a sigh.

Picking up the wine jug and pouring himself hard, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky with drunken eyes.

What day is it? It's the middle of the month, right? Otherwise, how could this bright moon be so round?

"Actually, you can ......"

A sigh sounded, Zhu Zhanyan turned sideways slightly, and quickly got up after seeing the comer.

"Auntie."

Zhang stretched out his right hand and asked the attendants and palace maids to stand still, and then raised his feet and walked in the direction of Zhu Zhanyan.

Standing at Zhu Zhan's side, Zhang looked at the wide Danqi below, and let out a sigh mixed with regret, disappointment, and distress.

"Actually, you're a better fit for that position than Jungji."

"And, in the big picture, you're more deserving of that position."

"Because, you can do better than Junji......"

"At the very least, I can also have the face to go down to see your grandfather and your uncle, instead of being anxious for the sake of Zhanji and the future of Daming like now."

"Don't worry, auntie." Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly and sat on the ground again.

"I'll arrange it, but you don't mind."

"Alas......" Zhang let out a sigh again and slowly lowered his head.

Bent down and took the wine jug from Zhu Zhanyan's hand, Zhang turned around and left.

In front of the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Zhanyan became alone again, but there was a residual sound floating in the air until it slowly disappeared.

"Good boy, I'm sorry for you......"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The people of Suncheon City all cautiously poked their heads out and watched the changes in the outside world.

The night was very peaceful, so calm that it was as if nothing had happened in Suncheon City, and there was no such tragedy and noise as if mortal enemies were fighting each other.

It seems like...... Nothing happened in general.

It seems that everything is normal, and the people of Shuntian, who have waited almost until noon, can't help but open their doors one after another.

Everything, as usual, yesterday's Wu Wangjun entered the city as if it was a dream, and it no longer existed.

It's just that what they don't know is that when the typhoon is coming, the sky and the earth will change color, and the wind will be raging and the waves will be monstrous, but the eye of the typhoon in the center is the calmest.

Beizhen Fusi, Imperial Prison.

Saihazhi respectfully led Zhu Zhan Yan down the damp steps and entered this dark prison.

Others didn't know what happened in the palace last night, but he, the commander of the brocade guard, knew best.

Not to mention that the guards of the Shuntian Imperial City and the guards of the palace have all been replaced, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and other scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion and Lu Zhen have been sent to prison, and even the people in charge of the palace have been replaced.

Not only that, this morning's morning dynasty was canceled, Zhu Zhanyan took a volume of holy decrees to the Ministry of Rites to issue an edict, everyone was at a loss, and in the end it was the Empress Dowager Zhang who came forward, and everyone found the backbone.

In the same way, at that time, they also understood that this day had changed.

However, reversals always appear again and again in this matter, making those who want to stand in line in advance to save their families, or even those who are on the rise.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

In the gloomy dungeon of the Imperial Prison, the sound of a voice made the entire silent Imperial Prison seem to wake up suddenly, and many, many prisoners who were imprisoned here couldn't help but hear the sound, look at Zhu Zhan Yan, and also look at the cell in front of Zhu Zhan Yan.

There, it was just sent in last night, and it was a scholar of the current dynasty, Yang Rong, a very popular minister.

"The winner is king, and the loser is the villain."

Yang Rong's voice sounded slowly, and his figure also walked out of the dark corner and appeared in front of Zhu Zhanyan.

"Your Royal Highness, you are the ultimate victor, in the next ...... Oh no, maybe you should call yourself a vassal by now...... It's not right, it's supposed to be a sinner......"

"Yang Rong, the criminal minister, there is nothing to say."

"Hehe......" Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly and beckoned.

Zhu Ling quickly took a chair and placed it behind Zhu Zhanyan.

Zhu Zhanyan sat down slowly and looked at Yang Rong in front of him with interest.

"It's too early to call yourself a minister in front of me, and it's not half a day...... But it's true that you're a criminal. ”

"It is indeed an unforgivable sin to bewitch the emperor, divulge the secrets of the court, and send artillery to the foreign enemy."

Yang Rong raised his head abruptly and looked at Zhu Zhanyan with a face full of incredulity.

He didn't care about what was a criminal or not, he only cared about the first sentence Zhu Zhanyan said.

"Don't overthink it." Zhu Zhanyan gently knocked on the fence of the cell, attracting Yang Rong's attention back.

"What the result is, it has nothing to do with you, I came here today because I want to know why you decided this way."

Regarding ambushing himself, or even sending artillery to Wara, Zhu Zhanyan really wanted to know what Yang Rong and the others thought.

"Why can't you decide that?" Yang Rong raised his head, as if he had figured out what he was thinking about, and also understood his ending.

"Your Royal Highness, you are not the prince, but your strength and influence are too great, so big that it is beyond the normal capacity of a dynasty."

"If this problem is not solved in advance, civil strife will come to Daming sooner or later, and the people of Daming will not only suffer from unjustified disasters, but may even fight in the same room."

"The most important thing is that at that time, foreign enemies such as Warat and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, as well as the Wa, Siam, and Timurid Empires that you have conquered by thunder before, will unite."

"At that time, our Daming will become the target of public criticism, and in the end, no matter who wins, the final outcome will still end in the weakening of Daming, or even its demise."

"So, for the sake of Daming, for the sake of the world, even if I know that you won't listen, Zirong still wants to say something here......"

"Say what?" Zhu Zhanyan didn't hold back and laughed.

"Is it for me to be killed? Or is it self-cutting? ”

"It's hard for you to say such a thing in such a situation."

"I'm curious, are you Confucian students who study Cheng Zhu Lixue inherently shameless, so you can blend with Cheng Zhu Lixue so thoroughly?"

"Or is Cheng Zhu Lixue so powerful, so powerful that he has transformed all of you into such a shameless appearance?"

"Although I advocate ram science, and I suggested it to my grandfather to make ram science a national study, but I also learned Cheng Zhu Lixue since I was a child, why didn't this Cheng Zhu Lixue transform me?"

"Everyone's critics, have you forgotten what the countries I have taken down are like now? Or did you deliberately ignore it? ”

"It's okay, I can tell you that except for the group of low castes who are used to being cheap bones in the Delhi Sultan, the other countries can basically be said to have no one in ten, except for the newly taken Timurid Empire, and now Siam and Khmer and other places, there are more Han Chinese than their nationals."

"As for the Wa Kingdom...... Hehe, their youth and strength have long been insufficient for us to mine, and if I hadn't started the slave trade with the former Ottoman Empire and the current Kingdom of Naples in the territory of the Japanese Kingdom now, it is estimated that the Japanese Kingdom would not be young and strong now. ”

"Is such a group of enemies worthy of being called enemies?"

"Also, why do you think that Da Ming will end up losing both sides and being profited by others?"

"I arrived at Shuntianfu yesterday, and I am already in control of the overall situation today, and even the Queen Mother is on my side."

"What do you want to say?"

Yang Rong was silent when he heard this.

Zhu Zhanyan's merciless words tore off the last layer of his fig leaf.

What kind of person is Yang Rong?

The cabinet Sanyang is famous in history, but in fact, few people know that the contraction strategy of the Ming Dynasty since the Xuande Dynasty was implemented under the repeated suggestions of Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi.

Since the Xuande Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty gave up Jiaozhi and shrunk the northern defense line into the Great Wall, which eventually led to the loss of the two guards of Daning and Kaiping, so that they also went south first, and the Baozong was captured in Tumubao, and the entire Ming Dynasty was almost forced to move south like the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Is Yang Rong really as good as history says, even perfect?

Don't talk about it, for the current Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanyan also has a slight affection for so many literati.

Although Xia Yuanji is open-minded when he sees money, he is still principled, at least he can distinguish right from wrong, and he supports himself unconditionally just because he can make money for the treasury.

Yu Qian won't say it, although the current Yu Qian has not grown up, and in history, Yu Qian opened the precedent of the Ming Dynasty's strong and weak monarchs, but it is still the same sentence, it is Jun's problem, it is Jun's incompetence, not Yu Qian's problem.

The last one is Chen Xun.

Zhu Zhanyan beckoned, and Chen Xun walked out from the corner and stood in front of Xia Yuanji.

"You, you can really toss people......"

As soon as Chen Xun came out, he complained to Zhu Zhanyan.

"Calling people over from afar, the result is to let the family take over such a mess, and you are the only one who can do it."

"What? You're not satisfied? Zhu Zhanyan chuckled.

"The thirty-third year of Hongwu in front of you (the name of Jianwen was abolished after Zhu Dijing's martyrdom, and the first year of Jianwen was the thirty-second year of Hongwu) came out, and he still entered this Wenyuan Pavilion by stopping Emperor Taizong in the palace."

"Now that you are allowed to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion directly, you have also achieved the first assistant of the cabinet in front of you, who has not done it for more than 20 years, and is in charge of the government, are you still not satisfied?"

"From the perspective of ordinary people, it is indeed very high, but you are not a good person......

Yang Rong looked at the pair of "gentlemen and ministers" in front of him, a little confused.

He had never seen such a "monarch and minister", and he couldn't understand what these two people were saying.

However, Zhu Zhanyan's next words shocked Yang Rong.

"Let you take charge of the government, everything must be discussed by Zhang Fu, Xia Yuanji and Yu Qian, and finally presented to the Queen Mother, and you can only enter the Sixth Department after the Queen Mother's consent, and then implement it, in order to protect your name."

"If you are allowed to take charge of the government without any restrictions, then you don't have to be the head of the cabinet, just wait to be poked in the backbone and killed."

Zhu Zhanyan and Chen Xun had a good conversation, but Yang Rong's face was full of jealousy and remorse.

Originally, he had already left his back hand, just waiting for Zhu Zhan Yan to ascend the throne and become emperor, and finally gave Zhu Zhan Yan a hand of jade and stones.

However, now he found out that Zhu Zhanyan's mind was far deeper than he imagined, even deeper than that of a person who was over half a hundred years old.

The two major chapters are equal to the previous four chapters, and the remaining chapter of the day before yesterday is missing.
