Chapter 19: Thoughts on the Imperial Family

Although Zhu Di couldn't agree with Xu Zilin's meaning, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was true.

As long as the people below have a little trouble, the emperor is very worried, for fear that something will happen in the future.

And Zhu Di, the reason why he doesn't have these troubles for the time being is because although he is now sitting firmly in the country, he still wants to fight in all directions, and by the way, find his eldest nephew, he has never believed what everyone said, Zhu Yunwen who has died.

Although he saw the so-called scorched corpse of Zhu Yunwen back then, somehow, Zhu Di always thought that Zhu Yunwen was just cheating to death, and then the golden cicada broke out of his shell and left.

"Then according to your meaning, how should you deal with those heroes who want to rebel."

Xu Zilin shook his head at Zhu Di.

"First, you don't know if the other party really wants to rebel; Second, even if they really want to rebel, they should also ask why the other party has such thoughts, is it because His Majesty has done something different from what they originally thought, so they want to be replaced? ”

Zhu Di lowered his head slightly.

He had to admit that Xu Zilin's remarks made him feel insightful.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Di raised his head.

"I know what you said, it seems that if Your Majesty has really been so suspicious all the time, it may not be in anyone's hands after that. ”

Xu Zilin chuckled.

Of course, he knew who would be on the throne in the future.

But he didn't mean to hide it.

"Isn't the current position of the East Palace very stable, Your Majesty has no intention of changing people, although the second prince is brave in battle, has made a lot of achievements, and has the style of His Majesty back then, but he is ambitious and unruly, and there will be an outbreak in the future."

As soon as he heard Xu Zilin start to talk about his son, Zhu Di's interest suddenly rose.

"Why do you know so much about royalty?"

Xu Zilin looked up at the sky, but when he looked up, he realized that he was in the house now and couldn't see the sky outside at all.

Only then did he lower his head and look at Zhu Di in front of him.

"The reason why I know them well is because I know enough about this era, and, coupled with my governance of the entire Penglai County, do you think I won't know about those princes?"

Zhu Di didn't speak, but his eyes sank.

Indeed, all the things Xu Zilin revealed are not in line with the current idea.

Although Zhu Di was suspicious, he still did not press Xu Zilin.

"Then can you tell me about the Third Prince?"

Xu Zilin was a little surprised.

He looked at Zhu Di for a long time and didn't speak.

"Why do you care so much about the children of the royal family, who are you?"

Zhu Di's heart trembled suddenly, and Xu Zilin's questioning tone seemed to have known that his identity was not ordinary.

But Zhu Di can't reveal his identity at this time.

"To tell you the truth, my father's generation was an official in the court, and to be honest, we are going to stand in line now."

Although Xu Zilin still didn't quite believe what Zhu Di said, he couldn't say anything flawed, he just felt that something was wrong.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Zilin spoke: "If you have to stand in line, you can follow the prince, but how long the prince can last in the future is not something that can be settled now." ”

Zhu Di frowned, and even a fly could be killed in the center of his eyebrows.

"Why, after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he will face the situation of brothers turning against each other and killing each other?"

Xu Zilin shook his head.

"These are not necessarily, maybe they will be faced by the time he ascends the throne."

Zhu Di didn't speak again, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

"But if you want to know about the three princes, I can tell you a thing or two."

When Zhu Di heard this, he continued to raise his head.

"The third prince, the relationship with the second prince seems to have been very good, so to speak, if one of the two people rebels, then the other person must also be an accomplice."

A flash of disbelief flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

Although it flashed, it was still captured by Xu Zilin.

Xu Zilin raised his hand and picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then continued to look at Zhu Di in front of him.

"To tell the truth, the three princes of today, no matter who succeeds to the throne, I can't look down on any of them, none of them have such great skills, just because the current emperor has no other heirs, otherwise the emperor would not have made the eldest prince the prince."

Zhu Di nodded involuntarily.

"I ...... It makes sense, I think so too. ”

He almost revealed his identity as soon as he opened his mouth, but fortunately he came back again.

"Oh yes, there's one more thing, about the tax you talked about last time, someone in the palace has already started to adjust, do you want to take a look? If something is wrong, you can say it and ask them to adjust it. ”

Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Xu Zilin expectantly.

He sees the development of Penglai County, and he also believes that if Xu Zilin can give himself a few suggestions, then this method must be a good method that the palace minister can't say.

It's just that Xu Zilin was a little hesitant.

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the court.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter, after all, the matter above the court, I am a small county order, what qualifications do I have to suggest."

Xu Zilin only hopes that he can live happily in Penglai County, and he doesn't want to be involved in the turmoil of the royal family.

"Lord County Commander, I know that you are a person with great ideas and skills, although you have rejected me, I still hope that you can give me some advice, please consider it."

"I really don't want to get involved in the imperial court, no one in the royal family has ever known about my existence, if they know that I can manage the entire county like this with an ordinary county order, I'm afraid they will either accept me or kill me."

Xu Zilin rubbed his head a little irritably.

He didn't want to be able to become a celebrity next to the emperor.

But the truth is that no matter who is known to you in the royal family, you may not have good fruit to eat.

Zhu Di knew Xu Zilin's worries, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

"That's it, if you really don't want to help the people of the world, then that's it."

With that, Zhu Di stood up and prepared to leave.

But it was Zhu Di's words that made Xu Zilin suddenly have some different feelings in his heart.

He looked up at Zhu Di's back, and when Zhu Di walked to the door and was about to push the door to leave, he spoke.

"Wait a minute, I can take a look, if this method is reliable, it will really be implemented in the future, no matter who asks, you can't expose me."
