Chapter 321: Future Decision-Makers

No one wants to be killed, willing to die.

Yang Rong is the same.

When he learned that Zhu Zhan Yan had escaped under the ambush of Wara, Yang Rong knew that this matter could not be good, so he made a lot of preparations in advance.

Emperor Taizong issued an edict before his death, giving King Wu a lineage of Fengtian Jingjing...... It's a qualification.

But it's also a hole.

Since it is difficult to preach the heavens and clear the monarch's side, it means that it is to eliminate the traitors, not to replace them and ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Therefore, once Zhu Zhanji raised troops to the north, drove Zhu Zhanji from that position, and ascended the throne as emperor, those people arranged by Yang Rong in Ying Tianfu in advance would go south and contact Liu Sheng.

In addition, Zhu Zhan's accusation of rebellion will also be told to the world, and at that time, Zhu Zhan will face the triple blow of popular popularity, civil strife and the vassal king.

Why is there a vassal king?

Do you feel that there is one person missing from this Shuntianfu? King Zhao, who previously declared that Fengtian was martyred...... Nowhere to be found.

It's just that Zhu Zhanyan's decision caught Yang Rong by surprise, and Yang Rong can't be blamed for this, because he also has experience from his predecessors.

If it weren't for his Yang Rong opening his mouth to remind, the first thing Emperor Taizong would do was not to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship Emperor Taizu Gao, but to ascend the throne and claim the emperor.

There was a suspicion of rebellion, but he was just wrapped in a cloak of Fengtian Jingjing, and it is conceivable that if Emperor Taizong did not go to the imperial mausoleum to worship first, but chose to ascend the throne and become the emperor, how would the people of the world poke his backbone.

However, Zhu Zhanji did not do that.

He didn't even make any preparations to sit in that position.

Yang Rong could never have imagined that in the end, Zhu Zhanyu would choose to make Emperor Xuande a puppet, and let Chen Xun be the main body, supplemented by Zhang Fu, Zhang Sheng, Xia Yuanji and Yu Qian, to control the government.

The most important thing is that in Zhu Zhan's arrangement, the last order, that is, the last procedure for the implementation of any policy, is actually in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhang.

How is this going on?

Yang Rong was confused.

Is the current court still the same as before? Undoubtedly, not really.

But is the current court what he imagined Zhu Zhan to be after entering Beijing?

Neither is it.

Today's Zhang Fu is a wall grass that blows on both sides, and everything he wants to do is to ensure that he can spend the rest of his life in peace, and he will not play any role in future government decision-making.

How many years has Chen Xun followed Zhu Zhanyan? Seven or eight years have passed, and in Yang Rong's opinion, this person's personality is extreme, just like Zhu Zhanyan.

Needless to say, Xia Yuanji has always worn a pair of pants with Zhu Zhanyan.

As for Yu Qian...... The land rights are small and do not play a role.

The real problem lies with the Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhang Sheng.

One is the biological mother of today's son and the queen mother of the dynasty, and the other is a relative, the uncle of today's son and the queen mother's brother.

Zhu Zhanyan arranged such two people into the decision-making group, and the last one, which can be said to be the most important, was given to the Queen Mother.

For a while, Yang Rong couldn't tell whether Zhu Zhanyan was trying to rebel or whether he was really on the side of Qingjun.

Royal Palace, Kunning Palace.

As the queen's bedroom, the current Zhang family still lives here, because it is still the first year of Hongxi, and her son's Xuande year has not yet arrived.

Zhu Zhanyan sat at the bottom, Chen Xun and Xia Yuanji stood beside him, and across from him sat Zhang Sheng.

"Auntie, you should be clear about Zhan Yan's thoughts, right?"

Looking at the Zhang family above, Zhu Zhanyan spoke.

"In this way, the imperial court should be able to stabilize and not have any major changes, but it just needs to clean up some people."

"His Royal Highness." Zhang Sheng looked at his sister, stood up after receiving her sister's eyes, and bowed.

"From a secular point of view, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's arrangement gives me great rights, and it is a good thing for us, and it stands to reason that we have no reason not to accept it."

"But ......"

Zhang Sheng looked at his sister sitting above, and then at Zhu Zhanyan in front of him, and there was some hesitation between his words.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly.

"Then forgive the offended officer." Zhang Sheng folded his hands in front of his chest with a serious expression.

"Emperor Taizu Gao once said that it is forbidden for the harem to interfere in politics, and it is absolutely not allowed for the Ming Dynasty to have the dictatorship of foreign relatives, so the decision on His Royal Highness the Prince ......"

Zhang Sheng looked at his sister sitting on it again, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want to think about it again?" ”

……

There was a brief silence in the Kunning Palace.

Click, click, click......

The sound of Zhu Zhanyan constantly knocking on the armrest of the seat was like a soul-inducing death knell, not as if it was knocking on the armrest, as if it was knocking on the hearts of Zhang and Zhang Sheng.

The curtain listens to the government, and the relatives are autocratic.

These two words sound quite beautiful at first glance, after all, if you really do it, it will be a veritable person under one person above ten thousand people, and the person who is "under one person" is still a puppet.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand.

The attendants and maids in the Kunning Palace were all stunned for a moment, but they quickly lowered their heads and retreated, and closed the door.

"Auntie, I won't tell you what you have or don't." Zhu Zhanyan slowly got up, stood in front of Zhang's family, and bowed very solemnly.

Zhang hurriedly stood up.

Just now she can saddle like a mountain and wait for Zhu Zhan Yan to make the final decision, because she knows that now it is her son who has done wrong, and Zhu Zhan Yan is the one who stands up to correct the mistake.

And most importantly...... Although she is the queen mother, she is also a female dependent, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is a death order.

Without Zhu Zhanyan opening, nothing is useless.

Now that Zhu Zhanyan has gotten up, she naturally can't sit upright as always.

"For the throne, I'll be honest, there is indeed a ...... Had an idea. ”

Zhu Zhanyan didn't know what his eldest aunt thought, but he just picked out some things that could be said and were his true thoughts.

It's just that as soon as he said this, he suddenly shocked Zhang and Zhang Sheng.

"But ......"

Zhu Zhanyan sighed lightly and looked behind Zhang.

There, there is a tablet, which is the spiritual seat of Emperor Hongxi, the fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's actually similar to my father, the throne is just a way for me to prove myself, maybe you think it's hypocritical, but it's actually true."

"At least, if my cousin hadn't gone too far this time and sent all the artillery to Wara, I would probably just go to my grandfather's tomb to pay respects, and then go back."

"But after seeing what my cousin did, I'm a little glad that I'm back, and I'm glad that I kept a hand in the first place."

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan's heart was really filled with a trace of fear.

Fortunately, I stood up at the beginning and didn't hand over the white phosphor egg to the old man, if I handed it over, I'm afraid it would have been in the hands of my cousin now.

If this is the case, then it is estimated that when you are attacked, you will not be facing artillery, but white phosphorus eggs.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan turned his head to look at Zhang and Zhang Sheng.

"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that I still have something to do now, I would have chosen to stay in Shuntianfu, at least for three and a half years."

"However, there are some things I have to do, and the Timurid Empire also needs to follow up, and if the canal over there is completed, the Ming Dynasty will communicate with the West and become the real Celestial Empire."

"So, I'll only stay in Suncheon for a while, about half a year to a year and a half."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan beckoned and summoned Chen Xun and Xia Yuanji over.

"Auntie, for you, Zhan Gully is respectful, because you can choose to stand on Zhan Gully's side in that situation, not only is it reasonable, but also understands the situation."

"When I went to Yunnan in the early years, I told my father that there were only three people in the entire palace who could make me admire and respect."

"Grandpa, Uncle, and you."

"Zhan Yan ......" Zhang was stunned for a moment, with a complicated look on his face, even with a little shame.

"Chen Xun was a subordinate official of Zhan Qi when he was in Xiangzhou Mansion, and the affairs of Xiangzhou Mansion over the years are thanks to his help, otherwise my father and Zhan Qi would not have worked."

Regarding Zhang's reaction, Zhu Zhanyan just smiled slightly and didn't care.

"Although he didn't have any official position before, it was not the first time he was in power, and with him, the general direction of the imperial court was safe."

"Xia Yuanji, let's not talk about this, since my grandfather ascended the throne, he has been the head of the household, our absolute minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he has never made a mistake in anything for so many years."

"In addition, Zhang Dudu ......"

"His Royal Highness." Zhang Sheng, who was ordered, hurriedly bowed down.

"Although you are helping your cousin in this matter, you are also helping your cousin try his best to make amends."

Zhu Zhanyan said as he took out a letter from his sleeve pocket.

"I know that you plan to mediate with Warat on the one hand, try your best to create an opportunity for me to completely annihilate the Warat ambush soldiers, and at the same time you want to take everything on your own."

"Although it seems to me that this is a bit stupid, not a smart person, but it is a good minister."

"However, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and relatives are not allowed to take power, this is a rule that has been set since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, and I dare not change it at will."

"So ......"

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and looked at Zhang.

……

On the surface, the entire Shuntian Mansion is peaceful, and there is no sign of overturning at all, but in this peaceful atmosphere, the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be the largest dynasty in the world, has changed the sky.

Qingning Palace.

Zhu Zhanji sat on the steps at the entrance of the hall, with a drop of wine jar scattered on the ground, several palace maids and chamberlains hiding far away, only two women stood behind him with worried faces.

"Stand down, everybody."

A slightly dull voice remembered, which made everyone stunned, and even made Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting still, stand up suddenly.
