"The Boss didn't do anything wrong."

Zhu Di and Dao Yan were separated by a chessboard, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Dao Yan picked up a chess piece again and said, "It's not wrong to do it, in the final analysis, isn't this a matter of His Majesty's thoughts?" If you don't kill Jiang Xinghuo, don't say anything else, just the matter of cutting the feudal domain can make the momentum of the second prince who had just been tacitly suppressed by His Majesty himself surging again. ”

Zhu Di was silent.

The eldest prince Zhu Gaochi is generous and virtuous, has the style of a benevolent monarch, and is a good candidate to guard the country.

The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, Zhu Di doesn't love his eldest son, but he loves his second son who is more like him and has a better relationship.

"Tell the boss about cutting the feudal domain first, let him think about it too, aren't there so many civil servants and celebrities around him?"

"At tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the envoys of the vassal clans who came to congratulate me on my accession to the throne and the princes are here, and I will announce this."

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Dao Yan Huo Ran waved his sleeves, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground in an instant.

Zhu Di frowned and looked at Dao Yan.

Dao Yan almost gritted his teeth, glared at Zhu Di and said: "You obviously know Jiang Xinghuo's strategy, let alone a waste like Xie Jin, even talents like Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi can't come up with a plan!" Jiang Xinghuo's strategy of cutting the domain, the old man is willing to bow to the wind once, His Majesty is holding the two princes like this, and the government and the opposition will definitely stand up again in the dispute between the princes! ”

"If I don't do this, do you want to say that my plan is eavesdropping?"

"If I don't do this, won't there be a dispute between the government and the opposition?"

Zhu Di also slapped the chessboard.

With a "bang", Zhu Di, who was dressed in regular clothes, stood up, like a fierce god who was about to kill.

Dao Yan stood up without fear, the long wind blew, and the black robe hunted and hunted.

Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan in front of him, and his expression was a little dazed for a while.

He seemed to see the scene of his first encounter with the bold young monk twenty years ago.

The same saber rattling, the same mutual intransigence.

"The last time, I won't pull the bias in the future."

Then, Zhu Di picked up the chessboard and put it back, and the two sat down.

"Let the third child go to the edict prison to send a message to the second child, just say that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I will announce the matter of cutting the domain, ask him if he has any opinions, and if there is anything, write a song and ask the second child to hand it over."

"Didn't Lao Wei say that it was wrong for His Majesty to let the second prince offer this plan, and it couldn't be said by His Majesty, so let the second prince know, isn't it obvious that he is spying on him? It's a father-son centrifugation...... And it is indeed easier for him to unite the nobles, so that the nobles take the lead in expressing their support for His Majesty's decision to lift the sea ban and go to the West. ”

Dao Yan's face was no longer angry at this time, pinching the rosary with the silent appearance of a monk who had attained the Tao, he turned the rosary for a long time, and finally said.

"Your Majesty, Lao Wei knows a little about the way of divination, and he has also counted Jiang Xinghuo as a person."

"The result?" Zhu Di was a little curious.

After Dao Yan was silent, he said with a sad face.

"Don't forget it."

"What?"

"The result of the calculation is - don't forget it."

The rosary in Dao Yan's hand stopped rotating, and he pinched it tightly, and said with a wry smile.

"I don't know where this Jiang Xinghuo came from, Ji Gang has already checked, and it is definitely not Jianwen Yu Party. Jiang Xinghuo spent almost all of his first twenty years in the township, and he only went to the county seat a few times, and he was the private school teacher who taught him, and he was only a registered disciple of Fang Xiaoru. ”

Zhu Di said in amazement: "And the most amazing thing is that this Jiang Xinghuo seems to be looking forward to death every day, which is really incredible...... Ji Gang found out that Jiang Xinghuo had mentioned to his fellow inmates more than once that as long as he died, he could 'go back to eternal life'. ”

Dao Yan accurately interpreted Zhu Di's doubts: "Your Majesty feels that Jiang Xinghuo's insight seems to be a gift from heaven, and this attitude of seeking death is too abnormal, right?" ”

Zhu Di was a little dumbfounded, nodded and said, "Yes, that's how I feel." ”

"That is God's given, that is the one who seeks death."

Seeing that Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, Dao Yan said: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the immortals?" The old man had already guessed this, what if it was an immortal who had been punished in the lower realm? People don't die and go back to heaven to enjoy eternal life, naturally they are born to know, and they are naturally looking forward to dying early...... If Your Majesty is really not at ease, then ask Yuan Gong, a minister, to take a serious look. ”

Is Jiang Xinghuo an immortal?

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't pay attention to it for the time being, as for Yuan Gong, the minister who gave him and Dao Yan a fairly accurate face, he was indeed a good candidate.

Zhu Di immediately called Jinyiwei, but Ji Gang rushed to serve after dealing with the matter at hand.

"Ji Gang, you arranged for someone to go to eastern Zhejiang to invite Yuan Gong, and said that I and Master Daoyan had encountered the existence of a suspected immortal, and asked him to come and see."

After Ji Gang left, Zhu Di pondered for a moment and discussed the follow-up arrangements with Dao Yan.

"The boss doesn't have to think about it behind closed doors anymore, let him come out to do things after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"As for the second child, let him stay in the edict for a while."

"Is Your Majesty still angry with the second prince, or is he afraid that the second prince will be inconvenient to listen to Jiang Xinghuo's lecture if he leaves the edict?"

Zhu Di did not answer, but continued.

"With Jiang Xinghuo's strategy, the vassal kings and county kings will raise their salaries, and at the same time issue the 'year-end reward package', so that in recent years, the expenses of the imperial court to support the clan will be a little larger, but the more in the future, with the improvement of finances and the increase in the number of clans, compared with the original way of support, it will definitely save a lot."

Zhu Di turned his head and asked Dao Yan: "In addition, regarding the matter of maritime trade, I plan to let Ma He do it, let him first learn about the situation of the countries passing through, sea charts, products and other information, what do you think?" ”

Dao Yan bowed slightly: "Fu Jixiang believes in the great food method, my father and grandparents have been to Mecca, and I know astronomy and navigation, so it is naturally very suitable." ”

In this way, the decision to support the clan and the preliminary preparations for maritime trade were decided, and Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Master, do you have answers to Jiang Xinghuo's two questions about "The Theory of National Fortune"?"

Dao Yan pondered for a moment, remembered two questions about the dynasty, nodded affirmatively and said, "There is Lao Qu's own answer." ”

Zhu Di was also a little relieved, in his heart, Jiang Xinghuo was not an immortal after all, and of course there should be an answer to the question that arose.

"Then the master plans to listen to it together?"

Dao Yan shook his head and only said: "Whether Jiang Xinghuo is an immortal or not is just a temporary guess, in fact, Lao Wei still thinks that he is just a mortal with some resourcefulness...... But if it's only about resourcefulness, it's not that the old man doesn't understand humility, but he doesn't think that there is anyone in the world who can surpass the old man. ”

A gust of wind blew, and the black robe fluttered gently, as if silently reminding him that the "black-clothed prime minister" in front of him was the generation that assisted Zhu Di in his successful rebellion.
