Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Chapter 204 204. The depressed prince

Zhu Yijun's physical condition deteriorated.

Previously, his main method of handling court affairs was to deliver edicts to ministers.

Now that he is seriously ill, he does not easily delegate authority to eunuchs or ministers, nor to the prince.

The operation of the entire court basically came to a standstill.

The feud between officials in the DPRK and China has become a general trend in the officialdom.

There was nothing to do and everyone was quarreling all day long.

There are many factions, and the sectarian disputes are becoming more and more fierce day by day, and they are at odds with each other.

There were many names such as Donglin Chan, Xuan Chan, Kun Chan, Qi Chan, etc., which caused a lot of trouble from the inner court to the outer court.

~~
  The Liaodong War required more than four million taels of silver each year. In order to cope with this huge military expenditure, starting from September of the 46th year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun ordered three times to increase the national land tax.

Liao's salary, suppression salary, and training salary also began to be increased.

However, the extra faction aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people all over the world, and they all jumped into the torrent of opposition to the imperial court.

~~
  Now, the prince Zhu Changluo has no power, so he is depressed and frowning.

Even though he is about to ascend the throne as emperor, he cannot inherit a mess!

But there was nothing he could do, Zhu Yijun was not dead, and Zhu Yijun still had the final say in major affairs of the court.

~~
  A strange thing happened again. Zhu Yijun was able to get up a little bit that day, so he ordered Zhu Changluo to go back. From now on, he would not be allowed to enter the palace to see him unless he obeyed the imperial edict.

Of course, it's not that Zhu Yijun has a mental problem.

Instead, he thought of many emperors in history who were often poisoned to death by their princes, or strangled to death by their princes in their sleep.

He was also afraid that Zhu Changluo was impatient and wanted to ascend the throne as emperor, so he would kill him by extraordinary means.

~~
  Father and son rarely met each other before, and Zhu Yijun didn't know Zhu Changluo very well.

Even if he lent Zhu Changluo a hundred courages, Zhu Changluo would not dare to poison his father to death, let alone strangle his father to death.

There are no cronies of Zhu Changluo in the palace.

Because he was looked down upon by his father, the people in the palace were also snobbish and looked down on him.

No one in the palace took the initiative to show kindness to Zhu Changluo or take the initiative to become Zhu Changluo's confidant.

~~
  Zhu Changluo was really depressed, but he had to obey the order and resign.

He was about to become emperor, but he was always being ordered around by Zhu Yijun, even the eunuchs, guards and maids around Zhu Yijun were not as good as him.

Indeed, after Zhu Changluo was established as the crown prince, he was still shrouded in the shadow of "gentrification" for a long time, and he was always worried that the emperor's father would replace him with Zhu Changxun, the blessed prince.

It has been 19 years since he was established as crown prince.

During these 19 years, Zhu Changluo was fearful and timid all day long, fearing that he would be deposed.

Zhu Changluo's special life experience and rough experiences made him timid and timid.

But is this his true character?

Hard to say!

However, Zhu Changluo showed an extremely cautious character.

~~
  In the past, when Zhu Changluo went out to study, it was winter, and the eunuch didn't light a fire for him to keep warm.

He was shivering with cold and did not dare to say a word. He was so angry that the official Guo Zhengyu reprimanded the eunuch.

The eunuchs lit a fire for him to keep warm.

It is truly the most ruthless imperial family.

~~
  After Zhu Changluo left the palace this time, he was even more worried, fearing that his position as prince would be deposed.

A few days later, Zhu Changluo also fell ill. The illness caused by urgency and anxiety was a heart disease!

His staff quickly came up with a plan and asked Zhu Changluo to take his eldest son Zhu Youxiao to visit Zhu Yijun in the name of the emperor's eldest grandson to explore the situation in the palace. The staff said that it was normal for the emperor's eldest grandson to visit the emperor's grandfather.

Just like Zhu Yingya before, it is most normal for a granddaughter to visit her grandfather. It is not Zhu Changluo peeking at the throne.

~~
  Therefore, Zhu Changluo acted according to his plan and brought his eldest son Zhu Youxiao to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.

But the eunuch guarding the gate actually blocked Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao and his son from entering.

Zhu Changluo did not dare to fight, thinking: If I are still the prince, the day when I will ascend the throne is not far away, bear with me!
  Wait until I ascend the throne as emperor and kill all these snobs!

If I am no longer the crown prince, it is only right and normal for me to suffer this bad luck.

~~
  Zhu Changluo and his son had been waiting outside the door from morning to night. Later, during the military affairs incident, Yang Lian, Yu Shi Zuo Guangdou, and East Palace eunuch Wang An and others entered the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. Seeing this situation, they dealt with the eunuchs and allowed Zhu Changluo and Zhu Youxiao and his son to see Zhu Yijun.

I've been feeling useless for a day.

But no matter what, Zhu Changluo has personally found out that his position as prince is still stable.

At this time, Zhu Yijun was already dying and it was impossible to change the prince.

Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wang An and others have also secretly prepared imperial robes for Zhu Changluo.

Jinyiwei commander Wan Yuankang is also assisting Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wang An and others to handle the matter secretly.

Because for now, Donglin Chen is secretly controlling the situation.

Ministers like Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were all from Donglin.

But Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others had such great reputations and seemed to have a lot of power, which also made Zhu Youxiao feel uncomfortable.

After all, Zhu Youxiao is the emperor's eldest grandson, and if nothing else happens, he will become the emperor.

Because my father was looked down upon by his grandfather, as well as by the civil and military ministers and eunuchs.

Zhu Youxiao didn't study much, and no one taught him how to study.

His life was very unsatisfactory and he could only play carpenter all day long. However, he was born in an imperial family and was exposed to power struggles and the bloodshed in the palace. He had some thoughts in his heart. He hoped that his father would become emperor as soon as possible to change his embarrassing life. Give him the opportunity to study and live a normal life as a prince and grandson.

~~
  Wan Yuankang chased Zhu Changluo out, stating that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes to the palace for anything in the future, he can send someone to find him first.

He will personally lead His Royal Highness into the palace to meet the Long Live Lord.

Zhu Changluo nodded, feeling warm in his heart, knowing that with Wan Yuankang's position, he could enter the palace to see the emperor at any time.

But Zhu Changluo did not dare to express his position, so he returned to the house with his beloved son.

After that, Wan Yuankang came over every morning, took the initiative to greet Zhu Changluo, and took the initiative to report matters to the palace and ministers.

Jin Yiwei has the best information, and Jin Yiwei is in the hands of Wan Yuankang.

Whether good news or bad news, Wan Yuankang's ears are the first to be reported.

This moved Zhu Changluo to tears.

He asked Wan Yuankang to block the way of all the princes, grandsons and granddaughters.

He could not see the emperor, nor could the other princes, grandsons, and granddaughters.

Wan Yuankang understood, followed orders, and acted accordingly.

~~
  Luoyang.

The back garden of Prince Fu's Mansion.

Accompanied by several maids, Zhu Yingya and Yao Xingyue strolled among the flowers and pink willows, both feeling gloomy.

Zhu Yingya was in a bad mood, and so was Yao Xingyue.

The two are called master and apprentice, and they love each other like sisters.

Based on his feeling, Yao Xingyue felt that Zhu Yingya was not anxious about emotional matters, but about matters in Kyoto and the palace, so he persuaded her in a low voice: "Princess, why don't you go to Kyoto? Now, the war in western Liaoning also needs your support. Ah! Otherwise, the weather will become more and more difficult. It has been more than half a year, and the food and salary he seized before should have been used up. The soldiers have no food and their morale is unstable. "

~~
  Zhu Yingya shook her head and said: "I can't enter Kyoto. Recently, my father sent people to Kyoto, entered the palace, and asked to see my grandfather, but they were blocked. Now it seems that this is the only thing the prince dares to do, which is to block all Someone who poses the slightest threat to him. There is no movement in other matters. It can be seen that the prince dares to block this matter. If I am not mistaken, Wan Yuankang has surrendered to the prince. "

Yao Xingyue nodded and said: "This is normal. After all, the prince is the future emperor. Anyone who is the commander of the Jinyi Guards will secretly seek refuge with the prince. However, Wan Yuankang should also care about the princess's support to him. If When the princess enters Kyoto and enters the palace, it is estimated that Wan Yuankang will not block the princess's way."

At this time, Wei Xueyan hurriedly came to report that Long live the Lord was seriously ill, the dispute between the DPRK and the Central Government was fierce, the Liaodong soldiers had no money and food, and mutinied again.

Zhu Yingya asked anxiously: "How is Liaoxi?"

~~
  Wei Xueyan's eyebrows are like crescent moons, her eyes are like bright stars, and her two small dimples are very charming.

She said with a charming smile: "General Chu Feng has a high prestige. He killed Jin soldiers several times and captured quite a few. He also launched three major measures as the prefect of Guangning. He sent generals such as Yuan He and knights such as Qin Fang to the south. When they arrived in the Shanhaiguan area, they persuaded the refugees to return to Guangning, divided their fields, gave them grain seeds and cattle, gave them resettlement expenses, and asked the soldiers to help build houses for the returning people.

Now, spring plowing in western Liaoning has become lively.

However, our army's military victory cannot conceal the Jin soldiers' determination to conquer the world.

Now, Nurhaci sent Huang Taiji to personally lobby various tribes.

There were so many tribes in the east, west and north, but Lin Dan Khan was the only one who did not agree to raise troops to help the Jin Kingdom.

All other tribes have raised troops to help the Jin Kingdom.

Next, Liaoxi still faces great danger.

It is estimated that Liaodong will not be recaptured in the short term. "
