Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

He suddenly felt as if all this was planned by Guo Changshi!

From the early death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, to the early death of the King of Qin, and now the early death of the King of Jin, everything like this...

Guo Changshi, who always looks smiling and doesn't care about anything, seems to know everything clearly.

Otherwise, given his temperament, how could he hand over the secret skills of cement, transparent glass, and sugar to the court so easily.

He even paid so much money to the court every year!
Unless, he is confident that His Highness King Yan can take over the capital!
However, now, His Highness King Yan has truly become the leader of all kings.

Just let the weak and low self-esteem His Highness the Crown Prince go crazy again.

Even if His Majesty doesn’t have the heart to save things easily, that’s all!
Thinking about this, Monk Daoyan became excited again, "Since His Majesty has the heart to be easy to save, in order to prevent accidents, it is necessary to let the emperor's grandson get distracted again!"

"good!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly.

Guo An thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, I wonder if among all the ministers in the court, are there any ministers who would like to serve Your Highness?"

"Is your minister interested in us?"

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment.

"Exactly!"

Guo An chuckled and said, "Before, Wei Chen had made preparations for his family to move to Goryeo.

I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so impatient.

In this way, there must be ministers in the court who can see the situation clearly..."

"What Guo Qing said is so true!"

Zhu Di's face lit up, he liked this kind of upright, fair and just plan.

On the side, Master Daoyan pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Highness, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is Yu Xin. He is from Fengyang. He is good at managing money and does not flatter people. He once made a rule for attracting investment and opening up the middle and nanometers to ensure the grain reserves of the frontier fortress. The decree is based on the ancient system of reducing the clan's salary, which shows that he is focused on state affairs, and this person can lobby for one or two!"

"Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, has been promoted to the Minister of Rites since he was very old. Moreover, the Zheng family where this person belongs is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the family is governed by filial piety and righteousness.

You can persuade him with filial piety..."

"Tie Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, although he is a civil servant, he has a resolute temperament and is good at fighting. Compared with the emperor's grandson, the Minister of the Ministry of War should prefer His Highness, who has made great achievements in war!"

"Sun Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is from Xinyang, Henan. He comes from a poor family and is extremely loyal and filial. His Royal Highness, King Yan, has brought great rule to the Beiping Mansion and placed great emphasis on craftsmen. In both public and private matters, everyone in the Ministry of Industry should support His Highness!"

"Xia Shu, the Minister of Punishment, is from Luoyang, Henan Province in the Ming Dynasty. He was promoted to an official position by virtue. It is difficult to judge this person, but you can try to persuade him."

"Yang Jing, the censor of Zuodu, is from Shanyang County. He is loyal to the court, honest and upright, and has extraordinary intelligence. He should be able to see the situation clearly and lobby..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed, "Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, Tie Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Sun Xian, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xia Shu, the Minister of Punishment, and Yang Jing, the Yushi of Zuodu?"

"Exactly!"

Monk Dao Yan nodded.

On the side, Guo An widened his eyes and asked with surprise: "Master Daoyan, can you persuade all six of them?"

Seeing Guo An's expression, Dao Yan felt inexplicably happy.

"Guo Changshi, if it were in the past, His Majesty would not have Yi Chun's thoughts, and the monks would not be able to persuade anyone.

And now, since His Majesty has already had that idea, any courtier with foresight can lobby for it! "

Guo An was overjoyed and said: "In this case, please ask the Master to go and lobby as soon as possible. As long as these six courtiers surrender to His Highness, and then give His Majesty a memorial, Your Majesty will surely be able to follow the courtiers' wishes!"

"..."

Dao Yan couldn't help but glance at Guo An with a strange expression.

"Guo Changshi, don't you forget the many heroes in the imperial court!"

Guo Andao: "Did Master Dao Yan talk about the Duke of Wei, Duke Cao and others?"

Dao Yan nodded slowly, "It is these martial artists who grew up with His Highness since childhood!"

Guo Andao: "Master, why do these people need to lobby? They are all His Highness's natural allies. As long as the time is right, they will naturally speak for His Highness!"

"Amitabha!"

Master Daoyan couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name again, "Your Highness, with so many civil and military honors supporting His Highness, Your Highness will definitely be promoted to Crown Prince!"

Zhu Di said with a happy face: "Master Lao is here!"

On the side, Guo An suddenly remembered something and said again: "Your Highness, Master, don't forget those officials in the court who are good at exploiting the camp!"

"Those villains?"

Zhu Di frowned.

However, Monk Dao Yan's eyes lit up.

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slowly, "Your Highness, compared to the upright officials in the DPRK, these officials who are good at maneuvering and like money are better at lobbying.

Whatever they want, His Highness can give them..."

Zhu Di said: "We disdain their support!"

Guo An smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, if the water is clear, there will be no fish! Moreover, Your Highness will only use them for a period of time. When the big thing is completed, how to deal with them will be left to His Highness's will?"

Zhu Di hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly: "In this case, I will follow Guo Qing's wishes!"

Guo An's face was filled with joy, and he slightly raised his hand towards Master Daoyan on the side, "I wonder what Master Dao Yan means?"

"Monk, you must obey His Highness' wishes!"

Master Dao Yan nodded slightly.

Guo Andao: "In this case, Master Lao will be the one to lobby these officials!"

Dao Yan: "..."

Guo An smiled expectantly, but didn't say anything more.

How to stimulate the emperor's grandson, how to lobby the ministers in the court, and even how to get the civil and military officials of the court to support King Yan...

Master Daoyan is the best at these!

Now, everything is going in the direction he expected.

I hope Lao Zhu can hold on for a few more months as he remembers!

Otherwise, we can only use Yanshanwei and the grenades and artillery he prepared!
……

Capital.

Inside the palace.

As the bowl of bitter potion went down, the eunuch on the side quickly handed Zhu Yuanzhang a piece of candied fruit.

half an hour.

After waiting for a while, Lao Zhu slowly raised his head and asked Erhu in the corner.

"What has King Yan been busy with these days?"

Erhu quickly replied: "Reporting to your majesty, His Highness King Yan seems to have sent people to the capital. They went to Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Tie Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Sun Xian, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xia Shu, the Minister of the Punishment Department, and Yang Jing, the Yushi of Zuodu. Wait for the minister’s house!”

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's turbid eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but sneered.

"This bastard, Fourth Brother, can't stand it any longer? Ahem..."

Erhu lowered his head quietly and remained silent.Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Where are the other kings?"

Erhu replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the other vassal kings have done nothing except obeying His Majesty's order and sending officials or princes to Taiyuan!"

"They are quite honest!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and continued: "Where is the East Palace?"

A eunuch on the side trembled subconsciously.

Erhu said slowly: "Your Majesty, Huang Bandu also frequently visits the ministers of the court."

"Ugh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "We can't help Biao'er for not taking good care of his son!"

Erhu continued to remain silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but glared at Erhu, "You are already so old, but you are still so timid!"

Erhu quickly sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I'll forgive you. I'm just a rough man and I don't dare to speak nonsense about state affairs!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Then tell me, if the fourth child succeeds to the throne, can he protect our Ming Dynasty?"

Erhu was startled and quickly knelt down, his face full of panic.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I only know how to fight and kill..."

"To shut up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but scolded, "We just want to know whether we should Yishu!"

"His Majesty……"

"We order you to tell me!"

Erhu said tremblingly: "Wei Chen obeys the order! Wei Chen thinks it should be easy to store."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with sadness, "Why?"

Erhu glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang cautiously, and then said: "Wei Chen feels that when His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun succeeds to the throne, all the vassal kings that His Majesty has worked so hard to seal will be eliminated one by one.

His Highness Prince Yan will inevitably retreat to Goryeo with Prince Yan's Mansion.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no longer a vassal king.

Moreover, His Highness the Emperor Taisun trusted those civil servants and did not pay attention to the military ministers, which easily caused the Ming Dynasty to be bullied by foreign enemies. "

"His Royal Highness the King of Yan is most like Your Majesty. If His Highness the King of Yan succeeds to the throne, no vassal king will be dissatisfied or reduce the vassal. Those Mongolians in the north will not dare to make mistakes..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "So, you also want to let King Yan succeed to the throne?"

Erhu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no other intentions. I will do whatever Your Majesty asks me to do!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually, "Okay, get up. You have been following us for decades, can we still trust you?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Erhu kowtowed repeatedly, his face full of gratitude.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go and secretly summon Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu!"

"Here!"

Erhu felt relieved, responded, and hurriedly exited. He called his confidants and ordered them to leave the palace secretly.

When Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu arrived.

Zhu Yuanzhang then asked all the eunuchs in the palace to go out, leaving only the eunuch Wang Yue to wait on him.

In fact, even Erhu could only guard outside the palace.

"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are when he summons these two ministers?"

In the hall, Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu were also full of doubts.

"Ahem... Jiujiang, Yungong, you two grew up with the fourth child, and now we let you two assist the emperor's grandson.

You two are very familiar with the situation in the East Palace and Prince Yan's Mansion.

Nowadays, the emperor's grandson cannot tolerate the fourth child, and the fourth child is restless.

We have called you two here because we want to ask you two whether it is better for the emperor's grandson or the fourth son to succeed to the throne of Ming Dynasty. "

"This, Your Majesty, is a humble minister..."

The expressions of Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu suddenly changed.

Send a proposition!
To be honest, both of them are warriors.

The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, who was weak in character and did not take them seriously, was also helpless.

However, now the emperor's grandson is the monarch they assist.

And King Zhu Di of Yan...

After thinking for a while, Xu Huizu said slowly: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Although I have an affair with His Highness King Yan..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently: "There are no outsiders here, so you two don't have to say anything against your will!"

Li Jinglong: "..."

Xu Huizu: "..."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.

Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu suddenly trembled.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang, like Zhu Di, they have been afraid of him since childhood.

"Say!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Jinglong said quickly: "Replying to your majesty, I am ashamed. I choose His Highness the King of Yan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face and continued to look at Xu Huizu aside, "Where is Duke Wei?"

Xu Huizu was feeling better, and he said forcefully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, now the emperor's grandson is the crown prince, and the ministers will definitely be loyal to the emperor's grandson.

If the emperor's grandson is not the crown prince, the ministers will choose His Highness King Yan! "

Li Jinglong: "..."

Too early to say!The Xu family is indeed cunning!
"Hmph, just as naughty as your father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded him directly.

However, Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu were relaxed.

As long as His Majesty scolds them, even if he beats them both, it will be thousands of times better than gentle words!
Xu Huizu quickly replied: "I am ashamed of myself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "We are ready to store it easily!"

"..."

Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu's eyes widened in disbelief.
