I want to be a grandson

Chapter 31
There was a sharp look in Yao Guangxiao's eyes, and he said, "I invite His Royal Highness King Yan to prepare to be the emperor!"

Although Yao Guangxiao devoted himself to the study of classics at home and abroad and became a more famous monk at that time, he never gave up his ambition to achieve a great cause.

He pursued utilitarianism, admired the founding hero Liu Bingzhong who was a monk in the early Yuan Dynasty, and wanted to make contributions to the founding of the country.

During the Hongwu period, because most of his old friends Song Lian and Gao Qi were killed by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he was strongly dissatisfied with the politics of the Hongwu Dynasty.

In the 15th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang selected eminent monks to serve the kings and pray for the late Queen Ma.

Yao Guangxiao was recommended by others to become an important counselor of Yan Wang Zhu Di, and accompanied Yan Wang Zhu Di to the abbot of Daqingshou Temple in Beiping.

From then on, he often went in and out of Yanwang's mansion, participated in the conspiracy to seize the throne, and became Zhu Di's important counselor.

Before Zhu Di "Jing Nan" became a soldier, he recommended Yuan Gong, a fortune teller, to use divination and other methods, and through the analysis of the political and military situation at that time, he urged Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to strengthen his confidence in rebellion.

Afterwards, he supported Zhu Di all the way to successfully seize the throne and became the famous "Prime Minister in Black" in history.

And the famous white hat incident, where the king added Bai to become the emperor, was done by this person.

Since he is a counselor by his side, Zhu Di is not surprised to come up with such a scheme.

Just a little unsure and asked: "Will the father pass on the throne to me?"

Yao Guangxiao asked back: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Zhu Di frowned, as if he was talking to himself: "My father once said that if there is no prince in the court, brothers and sisters must be born, and those born by the aunt's mother must be established. Those born by the concubine's mother will not be established even if they grow up.

The only ones that the father can stand on are the second elder brother Zhu Yu, the third elder brother Zhu Wei, and the fifth younger brother Zhu Wei are not suitable..."

What he said was true. According to the "Ming History" records, Empress Ma gave birth to five sons and two daughters for Zhu Yuanzhang.

They are the eldest son Yiwen Prince Zhu Biao, the second son Qin Min Wang Zhu Xi, the third son Jin Gong Wang Zhu Yu, the fourth son Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the fifth son Zhou Ding Wang Zhu Wei, and Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing.

According to the eldest son's succession system, it was the turn of the second child, Zhu Xi.

But Zhu Di frowned again and said: "Second elder brother behaved badly, and was reprimanded by the emperor many times... Third elder brother is arrogant, lawless, brutal, commits crimes, and has many illegal things in Fengguo..."

Yao Guangxiao raised a smile and asked, "So Your Highness thinks that he has a good chance of winning?"

Seeing that he disagreed, Zhu Di couldn't help asking: "If the second elder brother, King Qin, and the third elder brother, King Jin, might not be able to convince everyone... What do you think, Master?"

Yao Guangxiao did not answer, but said: "If the emperor passes the throne from generation to generation, what if the prince's son is made the emperor's grandson?"

"impossible!"

Zhu Di waved his hands and said, "It's impossible! My nephew Yun Wen is only 15 years old, and he is neither the eldest son nor the eldest son. If we really want to make him the grandson of the emperor, who will obey him?!"

"Don't talk about my nephew Yunxuan, even Yunxie is more justified than him, but he lost his mother when he was young and was not loved by the emperor's brother. His character is too cowardly and has no fortitude at all.
Although the emperor sympathized with him, he didn't like him from the bottom of his heart, and he himself would not covet the throne at all. "

Zhu Di said with a cold snort when he got excited, and said, "On the contrary, Yun Yun is quite polite, knows filial piety, and is praised by others...

However, his grandson, who has never been born in the palace, has so much ability, no matter how much he can't get his turn!The royal father will never pass on the throne from generation to generation. "

Seeing that he was so determined, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help being secretly happy in his heart.

Immediately said: "Your Highness, are you sure that the emperor will choose one of the princes to be the crown prince?"

Zhu Di said very firmly: "Yes! Father will definitely! And I believe that I have a great chance of winning! Once a crown prince is to be elected, I will definitely have the highest voice in the court!"

Yao Guangxiao said with joy on his face at this time: "Then I wish the prince a successful victory and his wish will come true soon!"

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao again, with a look of wisdom in his hands, and said, "Does Master also see it that way?"

Yao Guangxiao still had a smile on his face and said: "How my subordinates view it does not affect the ending. Your Highness has the heart to seize the throne. My subordinates congratulate Your Highness!"

After Zhu Di talked about it, his inner thinking also lit up.

That's right, the father is getting old, can he still cultivate an underage emperor's grandson?
What's more, a grandson of the emperor is a concubine, not a descendant, not a son, and his name is not correct, which runs counter to the "Ancestral Precepts" promulgated by the father himself. The father will never do such a contradictory thing!

The other emperor's grandson is the first son, even though he is the second son, he is still the first son.

But when he thought of Zhu Yunxi's submissive appearance, he didn't take it to heart at all. Who would regard him as an opponent?ridiculous!
The one who can compete with him is his brother.

The second brother and the third brother are really useless, and the father knows very well that they should have little hope.

Then it should be my turn!

As for the other brothers, except for the fifth brother, they are all concubines, and their hopes are even more bleak because of the disharmony of etiquette...

But you can't help it!

If the boat capsized in the gutter, it would be a big joke!

So he said: "Although this king has some hopes, other brothers have to be on guard. Apart from the second brother, third brother and fifth brother, the other princes also need to pay attention, so as not to overturn the gutter..."

"Zhu Quan, the seventeenth brother, was named King Ning last year. He was smart and studious since he was a child. He is good at strategy and scheming. Don't be careless.

Although he has not yet entered the feudal domain, Daning has [-] armored soldiers and [-] chariots, among which the Duoyan Sanwei cavalrymen are all brave and good at fighting, which shows that the emperor loves him..."

Staring at Yao Guangxiao again, he said, "Master, the crown prince has passed away. We feudal lords can only pay homage on the spot, but we also need to send people to pay homage. How about this king, would you like to trouble Master to take a trip?"

Yao Guangxiao said hastily, "Your Highness has some shortcomings, and all his subordinates obey..."

"Then Master Lao will take a trip."

After seeing off Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di stood on the city tower and looked at the sunset in the sky. Under the reflection of the red clouds, his face was ruddy.

Always with a smug smile.

The position of the prince is like a delicious prey. When the prince Zhu Biao is still alive, no one will covet it, even if he has such an idea, it will only be deeply buried in his heart.

Because the prince Zhu Biao is too popular among the brothers and among the civil and military officials.

Every brother knows that he can't compete with him, can't compete, can't compete.

Besides, there was his strict father Zhu Yuanzhang standing next to him, who would dare to think rashly?
But it's different now, the crown prince is gone, and the father is getting older, maybe he will decide the successor soon.

Especially for Zhu Di, who has a relatively high grasp on the bright side, it seems that the position of prince should belong to him both emotionally and rationally.

And Zhu Di thought so too!

So now Zhu Di was a little excited.

And he also understood that although he sent his confidants there, he could do nothing, and he didn't even dare to do anything.

No prince would dare to do anything under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose!

According to his temper, the more he plans and strives for it, the more likely he will be suspicious of it. Maybe it should be yours, but Zhu Yuanzhang can give it to someone else in a fit of anger!
Zhu Di only hoped to get the news soon!

If there is really something that is not good for him, Yao Guangxiao can reverse it in time.

But he didn't know that Yao Guangxiao walked out of the palace with a treacherous smile on his lips, and said, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment... just right!"
