The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 49 The Eve of the Landslide and Tsunami
After dismissing the people who sent Lan Yu away, Zhu Di felt uneasy, so he quickly summoned Chief Shi Gecheng to inform him about Lan Yu's gift.

"He gave another gift?" Ge Cheng asked in surprise.

Zhu Di nodded secretly.

It is still a talented person who has seen something wrong.And the eunuchs in the mansion were arranged by Ying Tianfu, and all of them were eunuchs who got into the eyes of money.

Thinking of the virtues of the eunuchs in the mansion, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel depressed, no one could do it, how dare he use it as a confidant.

"Last year, not only the prince went to the north, but also the Marquis of Yongchang was ordered to go to the west. The prince won the battle, and the Marquis of Yongchang also won the battle. The credit is no less than that of the prince."

"So we dare not offend him." Zhu Di said helplessly.

Ge Cheng showed an expression that should have been so.

Everyone in the court knew that Yongchanghou was the sword left by the emperor to the prince, and Yongchanghou had always been loyal to the prince.

Regardless of the prestige of Marquis Yongchang in the army, or his relationship with the Prince of Chaotang, the King of Yan is really not easy to deal with Marquis Yongchang.

"A few years ago, the prince was ordered by You Zongzheng in the clan's mansion. Not long after, the Marquis of Yongchang led an army to return to the court in victory, and then gave a heavy gift alone. The prince's righteous refusal that time, it stands to reason that Marquis Yongchang shouldn't have done it this time."

Just after the analysis, Ge Cheng found it ridiculous, and couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that the Marquis of Yongchang has a hobby of giving gifts to the prince."

"Hmph, the weasel gave the chicken New Year's greetings, he is uneasy and kind." Zhu Di looked ugly, hesitated for a while, and finally revealed a secret matter between their brothers to the trustworthy Chang Shi.

"That gift was not just for us." Zhu Di had a complicated expression on his face, with joy, pride, and fear.

"My subordinates know about this." Ge Cheng understood.

In that year, the emperor changed the Dazong Zhengyuan to the clan mansion, Qin Wang and Jin Wang were appointed as Zong Ling and Zuo Zongzheng, and their positions were still above Yan Wang.

"Yes, everyone knows it." Zhu Di murmured.

"Is there any mystery?" Seeing King Yan's expression, Ge Cheng felt that things were not that simple.

Zhu Di was originally unwilling to reveal the emotional conflict between the brothers, but Lan Yu's behavior today made Zhu Di feel dangerous.

"Later, when we got together for a drink in Yingtian Mansion, the elder brother told us about Lan Yu directly. Although the elder brother didn't care about this matter and took the initiative to expose Lan Yu's conspiracy, it also made the second and third brothers who were kept in their bones ashamed Incomparable."

Zhu Di looked at Ge Cheng cautiously, "You don't know the embarrassment on our second and third brothers' faces at that time, and you can't wait to get into the empty space of the table."

The more he talked, the more he hated him. Although he escaped, Zhu Di shared the same hatred and said angrily: "Lan Yu deliberately gave gifts to our vassal king, and the second and third brothers accepted his gift according to the etiquette, and returned gifts to him. Thinking that he behaved like a villain, I turned around and told the prince specifically."

Ge Cheng understood where King Yan's anger came from, and pointed out the essence of the matter, "It's nothing at all, but after being manipulated by Marquis Yongchang, King Qin and King Jin became inhumane, and he was disgusted to win over the court's meritorious deeds. No wonder It's hard to be ashamed in front of the prince."

"The Marquis Yongchang's move is not stupid!" Ge Cheng sighed after he figured out what was going on.

"He's very smart, too smart." Zhu Di couldn't help but curse.

Compared to King Yan's anger, Ge Cheng could understand the behavior of Marquis Yongchang.

Marquis Yongchang is very smart.

The purpose of his method of alienating the relationship between the prince and his brothers is for the prince, because the prince is too kind to his brothers.

However, Marquis Yongchang's methods were too unscrupulous, and he didn't take the vassal king seriously at all.

This kind of demeanor without a vassal king, even I feel the same, not to mention King Yan, King Jin of Qin must hate Marquis Yongchang even more.

The Marquis of Yongchang is really capable of making King Yan, who has always been deep in the city, so angry.

"He suddenly gave gifts to the prince again. Is it really because he won the battle last year and got a lot of money so he respected the prince?"

Ge Cheng said worriedly.

Zhu Di sneered when he heard Chang Shi's worry.

If other generals would care about their vassals, Zhu Di would believe it, but he didn't believe a single word of Lan Yu's words.

"The prince is not in good health." Zhu Di finally revealed the news that only a few people in the entire Beiping Mansion knew.

Ge Cheng's smiling face stopped immediately, and his breathing became heavier.

After a while, Ge Cheng, who gradually regained his composure, couldn't help asking: "Is the news reliable? My lord, this matter cannot be sloppy, and it will cause fatalities."

Although Ge Cheng is a vassal of King Yan, he is also very familiar with the court, and vassals must understand the court's movements.

The emperor is old.

All his actions in the past two years have revolved around the prince, making preparations for the prince's stable enthronement.

If what King Yan said was true, and the prince really had something wrong, Ge Cheng didn't even dare to imagine what kind of landslide and tsunami would come to the court next.

Because the crown prince's failure means that the current core of power has collapsed, and the old emperor, how can he bear the pain to deal with the next succession of imperial power in the great pain of bereavement.

The emperor is extremely strict to the prince, but everyone knows that the emperor loves the prince as much as he is strict.

Success here, defeat here.

Now in the entire court, whether it is officials, military generals or nobles, all aspects are arranged by the emperor according to the character and relationship of the prince.

If the prince is present, it will be as stable as Mount Tai, and if the prince is not present, the balance will be lost.

"We have already discussed this matter with the second and third brothers in private." Zhu Di said worriedly.Although their brothers had disagreements, they all walked on thin ice in this matter.

"My lord." Ge Cheng said heavily: "It's better not to do anything at a time like this, so as to respond to all changes with the same."

"Second brother has panicked, and even asked the long history in his mansion to search for famous doctors in Xi'an and take him to Yingtian Mansion." Zhu Di looked at Ge Cheng helplessly.

"Lan Yu suddenly came to the door with a gift, and we lost our sense of proportion. You can help me out with an idea. The father knows that the second brother knows about the prince. If we continue to pretend that we don't know, will it cause more suspicion?"

Ge Cheng completely understood why King Yan would suddenly tell himself these things.

Yan Wang is really calm.

Ge Cheng only felt heavy in his heart, and his voice became a little hoarse.

"Things have come to this point. Qin Wangfu made a mistake first. We might as well send a famous doctor to the palace. Show others openly. If you hide it, it will cause problems easily. It will emphatically show the prince's concern for his brother. Instead No shame."

"I have no shame in my heart." Zhu Di repeated, with a complicated expression on his face, if only things were really that simple.

Not only the court and the army, but also the enfeoffment of their vassal kings by the father against all opinions, is also based on the elder brother.

If the elder brother is gone.

What will happen to their princes?Zhu Di didn't believe that his father didn't think about it.

"The eldest son's movements should be quieter. In the current palace, it is best not to have any movement at all, otherwise the greater the movement, the easier it is for accidents." Ge Cheng was no longer helping the eldest son, but took the initiative to ask the eldest son's question.

He has already seen the great danger in the future, so he couldn't help asking tentatively, "Will the prince do it?"

Zhu Di subconsciously nodded.

Yao Guangxiao has already gone to Yingtian Mansion, according to the news he sent back, the crown prince is already in serious trouble.

Ge Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, no wonder some people said that King Yan is the most powerful of the feudal lords.
