The Mansion of King Yan.

In the pavilion in the lake, Zhu Di and Dao Yan sat opposite each other.

Not far away, Ma He stood on the aisle to Liangning.

"I can't imagine that after planning for so long, it will be in vain after all."

Zhu Di sighed softly.

Lao Zhu Feng Zhu Biao's three sons are kings, which is tantamount to announcing that the prince will definitely choose from the three of them.

Zhu Di is out.

"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen."

On Dao Yan's face, there was no half of frustration.

"Since Your Majesty has not directly appointed the prince, the matter has not yet settled."

Zhu Di looked at the lake and shook his head with a wry smile: "Who doesn't know what Your Majesty means by this?" How else can I fight? ”

He paused, and then sighed: "Behind our previous Dao Xi'er, there must be a master. ”

"But judging by his speech and demeanor that day, even if there is really someone behind him, the demon of Xi'er is far from being comparable to ordinary children."

That day, Zhu Yunxi and the craftsmen worked out the "flint musket", but he kept watching.

Witnessing the whole process of deliberation, it is also clear that the "flint gun" is something that Zhu Yunxi came up with little by little.

Dao Yan touched his beard and said with a smile: "If he wasn't smart, there wouldn't be a master who voted for him." ”

Dao Yan still insisted that behind Zhu Yunxi, someone must be behind him.

Although Zhu Yunxi is evil, it is impossible to reach that level.

It's just that after dealing with Zhu Yunxi, his evaluation of Zhu Yunxi has also increased by a few points again.

"Your Majesty is now making all three of them kings, hoping to let him do things in the name of this."

"Since ancient times, how can anyone be crowned as the king of the south? Your Majesty's heart has long been made clear to the world. ”

"The poetry of the king of the south is already known to the whole world, and he has the merit of giving advice to the imperial court, and the actions of the Pu family in Pingquanzhou, if he takes charge of Yingtianfu and accomplishes a few more practical things, then the ministers of the imperial court can no longer prevent him from being appointed as the prince on the grounds that he is young."

Dao Yan has a good understanding of this.

Zhu Di smiled: "What our father wants to do, there is never something that can't be done." Now that he has this intention, what am I fighting for? ”

Dao Yan shook his head repeatedly.

"The king of the south is young, and he is a grandson. If you want to make him the prince, it will not be easy to arouse the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di was a little puzzled.

"Our father really wants to make him the prince, even if the Manchu Dynasty opposes it, so what? With just these people, can they really get it back? ”

What Lao Zhu is determined to do, no matter how many people oppose it, it can't be stopped.

Hu Weiyong's case, Guo Huan's case, and the empty seal case...... How many ministers have their heads on the ground?

The officials in the court were all empty.

Dao Yan shook his head and laughed.

"It's different from anything else."

"If Your Majesty decides to rectify corruption, no matter how many officials oppose it, it will not be able to stop it."

"But if Your Majesty wants to establish a prince, you must make a smooth transition to the court, and you can't just rely on strong suppression."

"If the prince is newly established, he will already be the enemy of the world, and the world will not accept it, how will he inherit the unification in the future?"

"Your Majesty wants to establish a prince, and you will definitely make the government and the opposition convinced."

"If not, why didn't Your Majesty just make him the grandson? And what if you have to go to great lengths to crown him as the king of the south first? ”

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, and blurted out: "That's right." Our father doesn't need to convince the people of the world, but the newly established prince must make the people of the world surrender. ”

When he thought of this, his spirits lifted, and then he fell back again.

"Even so, what can I do?"

Dao Yan smiled and spit out three words: "Go back to Beiping." ”

Zhu Di was slightly stunned.

"The current situation has become a battle for the crown prince between the three kings."

Dao Yan analyzed: "The dispute between the country and the country is the most dangerous. Therefore, all emperors and princes must be resolute and resolute, so as not to let people have the heart of contention, so that the government and the opposition are unstable. ”

"But right now, Your Majesty wants to make the King of Nan the prince, and he is afraid that the people will not be convinced, so he can only slowly try to make three people kings at the same time, which is an unprecedented thing."

"In this way, although it gave King Nan the opportunity to prove his ability, it also put the court in the storm."

Zhu Di listened to him, and his expression slowly became solemn.

"Your Majesty's body is already in its last years, and it won't last too long."

"Once the three kings are established, all three will have a chance."

"King Heng is the eldest grandson, if Your Majesty makes him the prince, the government and the opposition will not be able to say anything against it, and now it is just the king, but the civil officials behind King Heng will not be willing."

"King Wu has the support of noble and military ministers, and his power is huge, and now he has the opportunity to compete for the crown, how can he not fight for it?"

"Your Majesty's favorite King of the South, but on the contrary, he is the most lonely."

"It's just that he has both saints, and he is so intelligent, and he also has his advantages."

"The three kings are vying for the crown prince, I'm afraid it won't be long before the court situation will be in chaos."

Dao Yan's voice was flat and not loud, but what he said could be described as earth-shattering.

Zhu Di's face became heavier and heavier, fluctuating and changing.

"If the three of them are inextricably linked, the dynasty will be unstable and the world will be in chaos. Then His Majesty plans for the world and the Ming Dynasty, so he can only exclude all three of them and set up another prince. ”

"I heard that King Nan just went to Yingtianfu today, and the merchants of Jinling City have decided to strike the market."

Dao Yan then said.

Zhu Di's expression gradually brightened a lot, and he asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

"You go back to Peking first." Dao Yan said: "His Royal Highness returned to the border army to lead the troops, and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight." ”

"No matter which of the three of them wins in the end, the court will definitely be devastated in its vitality."

"At that time, if Your Majesty chooses another prince, Your Highness will still have a chance."

"If not, His Highness has hundreds of thousands of border troops in his hands, which is still the way to advance."

"Ma He and I are still in Jinling City, as long as Your Majesty does not establish a prince for a day, there will be room for things to turn around."

"If something can be done, I will send a message back to Beiping with a carrier pigeon, and His Highness can act according to the plan."

Yanwangfu raised a lot of carrier pigeons, and when he came to Yingtian, he specially brought a lot.

But these carrier pigeons can only send messages back to Beiping, and there is no way to pass on the information again.

Of course, Dao Yan stayed in Yingtian, and if there was something, he would release the carrier pigeon and go back to report the news, which was enough.

Zhu Di was silent for a long time, nodded, and sighed with a smile: "It's a pity that Xi'er is not the eldest son, otherwise, I don't have to fight." ”

Dao Yan smiled: "This is the will of heaven." ”

Zhu Di asked with a smile: "I think that as soon as he took charge of Yingtianfu, the merchants of Jinling went on a collective strike, according to your opinion, how should he deal with it?" ”

Dao Yan groaned: "Generally speaking, it is nothing more than a means to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, but this strike, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to quell down." If he really did, he would have fallen into the hands of that group of people. ”

"In the current situation, I am afraid that in a day, the impeachment recital should fly like snowflakes to the inner court."

He thought about it for a while, and found that for a while, he couldn't think of a good solution.

Behind these businessmen's strikes, there are the Xungui clique and the civil official clique.

The two sides were originally incompatible, but this time they joined forces with a tacit understanding, just to give Zhu Yunxi a dismissal.

If Zhu Yunxi used thunderous means to do thunderbolts, they would definitely use this as an excuse to set off a shocking storm.

But if this is not done, it will be difficult to calm the crisis of the boycott and let Jinling City resume the market.

Unless Zhu Yunxi backs down and promises not to impose commercial taxes.

The more Dao Yan thought about it, the more he felt that this matter seemed simple, but it was very tricky to deal with.

……

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Then I won't care about it for now." Tomorrow will be played, and the return journey will be back to Beiping. ”

"Just let them fight!"
