Chapter Seventy-Three: Stop King Yan
Zhu Yunwen watched Wang Jinghong listen to his words like this, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The emperor's grandfather often told me that only the dead will not stand in the way of the living, but the lonely is benevolent, and he is unwilling to throw all of you into the prison one by one.
The eunuchs and palace maids in Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom all knelt on the ground honestly and didn't dare to reply.
Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly, and then waved his hand to summon his henchman eunuch.
"Let Lord Qi Tai and Lord Huang Zicheng come to the imperial study!"
"Slave and maid command!"
Zhu Yunwen turned around, looked at the body of the emperor's grandfather and shed two tears, wiped them dry, and went to the imperial study in a hurry.
After Zhu Yunwen arrived at the imperial study, Qi Tai Huang Zicheng had already arrived.
Qi Tai saw Zhu Yunwen, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness Taisun, it is imperative that His Royal Highness Taisun immediately ask the vassal kings of all places to stop entering Beijing, as early as a few days, the vassal kings of all places have already received the news that the emperor can't stand it, but I am afraid that the distance is almost to Yingtian!" ”
After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "They are all the sons of the emperor's grandfather, and they are Gu's uncle, why don't they let them enter Beijing?" ”
Qi Tai immediately said: "Your Highness, this is easy to do, Your Highness said that this is the edict of the former emperor to seal their mouths, even if they don't believe it, they can only do so!" ”
Huang Zicheng shook his head on the side.
"In fact, it is not necessary to let the vassal kings from all over the country not enter Beijing, as long as His Royal Highness does not enter Beijing if he is not at ease, such as His Royal Highness King Yan who is far away in Beiping!"
"Other vassal kings are not easy to find a reason, but His Royal Highness King Yan is very easy to find, His Royal Highness only needs to say that King Yan is in Beiping, Beiping is the top priority of my Ming Dynasty, and it is the barrier of my Ming Dynasty's northern frontier, if there is no King Yan in town, the Warat people take advantage of the situation to attack that, as long as there is this reason, King Yan will not be able to enter Beijing no matter how much he wants to!"
"In addition, we can also ask King Yan to hand over his three sons, and let the three sons go to Beijing to fulfill their filial piety, this can restrain King Yan and prevent him from entering Beijing, and secondly, these three sons of King Yan can also be used as protons!"
After hearing this, Qi Tai clapped his hands and praised again and again: "This is good, this is good, Your Highness will act according to Lord Huang's method, as long as there is such a reason, King Yan will not be able to enter the capital even if he is dissatisfied!" ”
Zhu Yunwen nodded after hearing this, but he was still worried.
"It's not just King Yan who is worried, the emperor's grandfather once said this before his death, if one day Lone is powerless in the government, let the twenty uncles enter Beijing, and then the emperor's grandfather will die."
"Why did Grandfather Huang mention the name of Uncle Twenty before leaving? Why bring him up? Why do you say that one day if I have no power in the government, is it possible that in the heart of the emperor's grandfather, he actually wants me to give up the position of the prince to the twenty uncles? ”
After Qi Tai Huang Zicheng heard this, he was taken aback, the two looked at each other, and then Qi Tai said.
"Could it be that our real enemy is not King Yan, but King Han? Could it be that the last trip to Liaodong has changed his mind? Yes, it may not be impossible! ”
Huang Zicheng shook his head after hearing this.
"No, no, no, the prince is the foundation of the country, His Royal Highness the prince has been the prince for so many years, how could the emperor easily change the prince? It's just that maybe the emperor just wanted King Han to be an auxiliary minister, not necessarily to pass the throne to King Han. ”
Zhu Yunwen said: "Lone thinks the same way, the emperor's grandfather may not want to hand over the throne to the twenty uncles, but when the emperor's grandfather said this, he didn't say the second half, if the emperor's grandfather said it, it would be easy to do, but if he didn't say it, in case the matter was known by King Han, he used it to blackmail Lone into abdicating, what should Lone do?" ”
Qi Tai thought for a moment.
"That is it, please order that all the palace people present will be taken down and executed immediately, and the news must not be allowed to leak out, only the dead will not stand in the way of the living!"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "Not long after the death of the emperor's grandfather, the palace people who served the emperor's grandfather were killed alone, and at that time, the vassal kings everywhere were afraid that it would be difficult to know that something was going on in the palace." ”
Qi Tai continued: "This matter is also easy to do, Your Highness might as well say to the outside world that these palace people did not serve the emperor effectively, which caused the death of the first emperor, and these palace people will be buried in the first emperor!" ”
Huang Zicheng immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible, in fact, there is no need to kill so many people, the first emperor died, if all the palace people who served the former emperor were killed, it would definitely attract the attention of others, even if it was for the reason of martyrdom." ”
"Your Highness is orthodox, why should you be so nervous? The emperor did not say that King Han should return to Beijing as an auxiliary minister, but he also did not let King Han return to Beijing to take over the throne! ”
"Therefore, from the point of view of the following officials, His Royal Highness only needs to sit firmly on Mount Tai, ascend the throne steadily, and let the people of the world welcome the new monarch with the attitude of an orthodox prince!"
Zhu Yunwen listened and nodded.
"Yes, that's right, the emperor's grandfather just mentioned the name of the twentieth uncle, and didn't let him do anything, Lone is the prince of the country, and he is not a rebel, why is Lone so nervous? Really. ”
"But if King Yan is not allowed to return to Beijing, will King Han return to Beijing? King Han's son has just been born, so he won't use this reason to hand over the child again, right? ”
After hearing this, Qi Tai thought for a while and then said: "Your Highness, King Han is different from King Yan, although King Han also has hundreds of thousands of Liaodong soldiers, but in the end, these hundreds of thousands of Liaodong soldiers are not as good as the Beiping army and horses. ”
"So King Han doesn't have to be so careful, just let him enter Beijing, and then whether King Han can return to Liaodong or not depends on His Highness's words! If His Highness wants him to go back, let him go back, and if His Highness doesn't want him to go back, then he can only stay in Jingshi forever. ”
"As for what kind of corn, the minister still said that, the grain in this world is not only grown in the land of Liaodong, I should be as fertile as the land of Tianjing Division!"
"If he likes to farm, His Highness will reward him with a piece of fertile land for him to plant, as long as he doesn't let him leave!"
This time, Qitai Huang Zicheng's opinions were finally unanimous, and Huang Zicheng praised.
"In this way, it is very good, this person is under the nose of His Highness, and he is still afraid that he will make waves?"
Seeing that everything was almost arranged, Zhu Yunwen finally relieved his heart, and then said to the two adults.
"That's it, according to the wishes of the two adults, but if only the prince of King Yan is allowed to return to Beijing, what if King Yan finds other reasons not to let his three sons enter Beijing? After all, my fourth uncle is very smart. ”
