Chapter 178 Yuan Zhang's scheming

Gu Xiaonan continued: "I don't know what to do over there in Zhongshan? I always feel a sense of foreboding, I don't know what he has to do with the funeral of Prince Yiwen? I don't know who this convener is? What is the purpose? Even the traitor Cao Jing'an didn't react, it's really strange?"

Dao Yan said with a smile: "Since there is no conclusion, let's respond to all changes with no change, let's deal with this inevitable thing first, that is, the funeral of the prince in Jinling City." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But the prince and the princes have been ordered to come to the capital for a few days, and they have been staying in this inn, I don't know when they will be summoned, according to the usual practice, the prince will return to Beijing, and the princes will be summoned before the period of Prince Yiwen's funeral, but there is no news so far, is it strange?"

King Yan said: "Master, the last time Tianwu visited the palace at night, didn't it mean that my father had a secret conversation with the prince of Han and Cao Jing'an, the brocade guard, and he didn't care about the life or death of our princes. ”

Dao Yan shook his head and said: "Eh, the emperor, the emperor will also be a little selfish, but from the perspective of the old man, the emperor's scheming is difficult for anyone to guess, naturally including his Korean prince and Cao Jing'an, the prince thinks about it, how has the emperor and Queen Ma been over the years?"

King Yan said: "My father has always treated my mother as the mother of the country, and I have no two hearts, although I also favor other concubines, but it is really commendable to my mother, so I named my mother the queen." ”

Dao Yan nodded and said, "Well, from this point, you can see the emperor's true temperament! So, no matter what? No matter what you see, it may not be true, and the emperor's heart is something that the prince needs to figure out, and the emperor also needs someone to understand? There are many things that the emperor can't help himself? Do any of you really understand the emperor? Why did the emperor divide the nine kings of you to each station? Why did he indulge Cao Jing'an, the brocade-clothed guard, to kill so many loyal and good founders with such fanfare? The prince thought about it carefully? Maybe the emperor wanted to leave you a quiet, rich, serene, and peaceful tomorrow? And Cao Jing'an was just a pawn of him. ”

When King Yan heard Dao Yan say this, he frowned tightly, thought for a while, paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly said: "Master! How come this king has never thought about this? Master is really the true confidant of his father!"

Gu Xiaonan thought to himself: 'Oh my God? This Dao Yan master is really much more clever than that Liu Bowen? Is it really the roundworm in Zhu Yuanzhang's stomach? If he said so, then it is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang not to know the tricks of the Han Gong and the Jinyi guard Cao Jing'an? Then why does Zhu Yuanzhang seem to be pretending to be stupid? Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang is pretending to be stupid? He wants to remove all the obstacles that may hinder the Ming Dynasty? Including all the loyal ministers, all the traitors, all the martial arts people? Oh my God? Could it be that in addition to Cao Jing'an's design on the sixth day of the first month of this month? That old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also designed it behind his back? What are we and the martial arts people? Are we funeral goods? How could I think so? Then if I can think of it? That Master Daoyan can't think of it? It is impossible to think of it? Then since he thought of it, why did he still do it? What did he want to do?' Gu Xiaonan suddenly had a feeling of being stunned at this moment, and only felt that this was a shocking conspiracy, but how to crack it? Gu Xiaonan really had no way for the time being.

Dao Yan said: "Lord, don't worry too much, the old man will help the prince, and the old man is willing to give the prince a white hat." With that, Dao Yan left the prince's room with a smile. The prince looked at Dao Yan in the distance, and didn't know what he was talking about? But at this moment, Gu Xiaonan really heard it, he knew that the white hat was the word "emperor", and Master Dao Yan had already expressed his attitude to help Zhu Di, the king of Yan, ascend the throne as emperor.

Xue Qiao naturally didn't know what Master Dao Yan was talking about? Gu Xiaonan didn't explain, so he also said goodbye to King Yan by the way, and returned to his room, King Yan agreed, and then went to think about the mystery of Master Dao Yan, and Gu Xiaonan pulled Xue Qiao out of King Yan's room. After that, Gu Xiaonan sent Xue Qiao back to his room, and then went to arrange various affairs, and told Qingyan, Xuan Ming and Han Tingxiao all the arrangements. Everyone has no objections, and they will only have to fight to the death with Cao Jing'an on the sixth day of the first month of this month. But Gu Xiaonan returned to the room alone, lying on the bed, quietly thinking about the development of the future court. Unconsciously, Gu Xiaonan entered the dream, this time, he slept very soundly, he did not dream of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, nor did he dream of the Sky City, until he was woken up by a "holy decree" in the early morning, Gu Xiaonan vaguely heard the voice of the eunuch reading the "holy decree", Gu Xiaonan rubbed his eyes and sat up. After a while, King Yan really sent someone to find Gu Xiaonan, Gu Xiaonan didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly got dressed and came to King Yan's room, at this moment, King Yan and Master Daoyan, as well as Qingyan, Xuanming, Han Tingxiao and others were already seated, waiting for him.

Gu Xiaonan hurriedly sat down and said, "Lord Wang, what happened?"

King Yan looked at everyone, then looked at Gu Xiaonan, and said, "The holy decree has come, tomorrow the nine sons will meet their father." ”

Gu Xiaonan hurriedly said, "Isn't this exactly what the master expected?

King Yan said, "Yes, my father is finally willing to summon us, but we are uneasy, and we don't know how to deal with it."

Gu Xiaonan said: "Since the emperor summoned him, he must want to discuss with the princes on the occasion of Prince Yiwen's funeral, and prepare for the memorial service, right?"

Dao Yan stroked his beard and said: "Well, Tianwu is right, the emperor will definitely summon other important ministers, Lao Wei estimates that the Han Gong and Jinyi Wei will also be present, just so you are testing the truth, and then we will make a decision." ”

King Yan said: "At that time, there were nine sons, one from the grandson, all of whom were princes, and at present, in this post house, the three princes King Jin, the fifth prince King Wu, the sixth prince Chu Wang, the seventh prince Qi Wang, the eighth prince Tan Wang, the tenth prince Lu Wang, and the Jingjiang King. Only the King of Jin and the King of Wu, the King of Qi and the King of Ben are friendly and can be used. The other princes are simply vulnerable, and they cannot be mentioned. ”

Dao Yan said: "Lord Wang! these are enough. Let Tianwu and Xuanming accompany you as escorts, and be careful in everything. ”

King Yan nodded and said, "Well, okay! King Ming took Tianwu and Xuanming into the palace to meet his father. ”

The next day, Gu Xiaonan and Xuan Ming disguised themselves as guards, and followed King Yan and the princes to the palace. King Yan and the princes listened to the call and entered the Jinluan Palace, Gu Xiaonan and Xuan Ming waited outside the palace, at this moment, Gu Xiaonan grabbed Xuan Ming, only to see two sedan chairs in the distance stopped outside the palace, Gu Xiaonan and Xuan Ming fixed their eyes to see, it was Cao Jing'an, the head of the brocade guard, and Li Shanchang, the prince of South Korea.
