Chapter 44: Zhu Youji, the emperor's grandson
At this moment, Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, led the princess Zhu Nanxi, Lord Hua Yiming, Lord Guo Shaohong, the king of Fenyang County, Guo Zonghui, and Wang Yueban, the superintendent of the class, to a teahouse.
So a few people sat upright.
Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, said straight to the point: "Today, I want to discuss with you about the establishment of the prince. What do you think? ”
"King Shu, the saint has been in poor dragon health recently, I'm afraid it won't take much time, and the matter of establishing a prince is imminent!"
Lord Guo Shaohong was respectful and said in a slur manner, as if there was a lot of regret in his words.
"The matter of establishing a prince is related to the safety of the country and society, isn't it a matter of casual discussion and joke."
Guo Zonghui's expression was extremely serious, and his words were full of disdain for the people around him.
"Hey, King of Fenyang County, I know that you have a great opinion on this matter, but you have to remember one thing, my Hanyang Dynasty is now full of chaotic parties, and the power in the court has been controlled by the civil official group and the eunuch group.
Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, looked calm, and said to Guo Zonghui is pointing out the country, but Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, did not seem to understand one thing, that is, for the matter of establishing a prince, for Guo Zonghui, the biggest problem is that whether the newly appointed king can fight those chaotic parties and eunuchs is a big problem.
"Well, you sincerely want to establish the prince, then, what do you think of the imperial grandson Zhu Youji?"
Wait, Guo Zonghui also seems to have a good understanding of this problem.
"King of Fenyang County, that's what I thought before with Lord Guo and Inspector Wang, if I can, I will hand over the great cause of the family and country to the emperor's grandson."
Lord Hua Yiming's words are full of serious taste.
"Well, Zhu Youji is indeed a good candidate, but at present, the crown prince of our Hanyang Dynasty is the object of support from many civilian groups."
Lord Guo Shaohong said respectfully.
"Wait, is the crown prince you are talking about Zhu Changluo?"
The King of Shu asked.
"Exactly."
Master Guo Shaohong replied.
"Now my Hanyang Dynasty implements the primogeniture inheritance system, and it is understandable that the next prince is Zhu Changluo, but unfortunately, Zhu Youji is not Zhu Changluo's child, but this person has had great ambitions since he was a child, and is determined to build my Hanyang Dynasty into a militaristic country, if there is a chance to let Zhu Youji succeed to the throne, it is definitely a great blessing on the road of militarism in my Hanyang Dynasty."
Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, said with emotion.
"You don't have to think too much about these dreams of these great invasions of other countries, even if Emperor Taizu Gao once had this idea, we are not qualified to evaluate it. These are right and wrong, and the so-called idea of invading other countries is just an illusion of our Hanyang Dynasty, because in recent years, the problem of the Liaodong army eating empty salaries has become more and more serious. Where else can we get the money to invade other countries with an army that is getting bigger and bigger? ”
Guo Zonghui said unceremoniously.
"Since I was a child, I have followed my father to study military books, learn political thought, and learn the way of governing the country and cultivating oneself to level the world, this is the truth of right and wrong, do you think I will not know, His Royal Highness the King of the County?"
Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, looked at Guo Zonghui with a serious look.
Guo Zonghui looked at the dark eyes of Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, and suddenly sighed and said, "Hehe, in my opinion, it is better to talk directly to Zhu Youji, the imperial grandson, about these things."
"If you want to make the emperor's grandson the prince, and at the same time destroy those civil official groups and those eunuch groups, I personally suggest that those generals in the border area who are advantageous to those elite soldiers and horses should be transferred back first."
Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, said calmly.
"Hmph, it's good if you're happy!" Guo Zonghui said with a disdainful expression.
In this way, at noon on the third day, the generals of the border area, the general Li Hao, the general of Dingyuan, Yin Xiaoshuai, and the general Pan Gangfeng, led 15,000 people to the Beijing division.
As soon as Li Hao, Yin Xiaoshuai, and Pan Gangfeng came to Beijing, they met Zhu Zinuo, the long-lost king of Shu.
Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, led Li Hao, Yin Xiaoshuai, and Pan Gangfeng to a secret room, and suddenly appeared in Li Hao, Yin Xiaoshuai, Pan Gangfeng saw a person with eyes like torches, firm eyes, and the air of an emperor, that's right, this person is the emperor's grandson Zhu Youji.
"King Shu, dare to ask who this is?"
General Pan Gangfeng said with a puzzled expression.
"This person is the emperor's grandson Zhu Youji, everyone, please kneel down and salute!"
Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, said with a serious face.
"Meet the Imperial Grandson!"
Li Hao, Yin Xiaoshuai, and Pan Gangfeng hurriedly knelt down, saluted, and said in unison.
"No courtesy, flat!"
"Emperor Xie's grandson!"
"Generals, what do you think of the current situation around Huaxia?" Zhu Youji, the imperial grandson, said politely.
"Emperor Qiyu's grandson, at present, the Shengyang Empire has closed off the country, prohibiting their silver and gold materials from flowing into our Huaxia Kingdom, this kind of severance of contact is a fatal blow to the economic development of our Hanyang Dynasty." General Pan Gangfeng said respectfully.
"Emperor Qiyu's grandson, now the Hanyang Dynasty has entered the form of asset monopoly, and those people in the civil and official groups have monopolized and occupied a large amount of state assets, if they are not suppressed by the policy, it will be!" Li Hao said hesitantly.
"Emperor Qiyu's grandson, at present, the phenomenon of empty salaries abounds in the army of my Hanyang Dynasty, and the overall combat effectiveness of the army is low, think about it!" Yin Xiaoshuai said confidently.
"Okay, okay, three generals, you are suffering, Lone has roughly understood. It is to suppress the civilian clique and demand their money, and I think this matter must only be done by that person! Zhu Youji, the imperial grandson, squinted his eyes and said confidently.
"Who?" Pan Gangfeng asked.
"Father-in-law Yang Xiguang!" Zhu Youji replied.
"He, he holds most of the rights in the East Factory, and he may not even be able to do it now, how can he be able to control a large number of these military and government rights?" Li Hao said with a confused expression.
"No, in fact, you all think wrong, he does have the ability to overthrow all those civil and official groups and eunuchs, as long as he strikes at the arrogance of these eunuchs and civil official groups, and collects their money for himself, it is the source of a steady stream of funds for the soldiers and horses of my Hanyang Dynasty!" Zhu Youji suddenly spoke, and his eyes revealed full of confidence and firmness.
When Yin Xiaoshuai heard this, he recalled Yang Xiguang's father-in-law, when Emperor Zhu Yijun rewarded him with a good horse, the father-in-law who led the horse was Yang Xiguang.
Zhu Zinuo, the king of Shu, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the imperial grandson, your vision is a little more realistic than ours."
