Chapter 30 Chapter 135

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback by Chen Ying's thoughtless words, and said in surprise: "It's for no reason, why did I leave the capital?" Chen Ying wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: Your Highness, the emperor issued an edict this morning, and the eldest prince has already been established as the crown prince! What? When Zhu Gaoxu heard it like five thunders, he flew into a rage and said: "Yesterday, the emperor clearly wanted to move, why didn't it happen today!"I'm going to find my father's theory! Zhu Gaoxu started to leave, but Chen Ying held him back and shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't go down!"

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes and said sharply: "Why can't I go?" Chen Yingdao: "Even if the emperor's golden words are just verbal orders today, they have already been announced, and it is difficult to change them, let alone an imperial decree."If His Highness enters the palace at this time, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. Not only will he not be able to persuade the emperor to change his mind, but it will even annoy him, then it is truly irreparable! Zhu Gaoxu laughed angrily and said: Now that the crown prince has been established, if I don't argue with the emperor, is there any room for redemption?

Chen Ying said decisively: Yes, there is still a chance! Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback for a moment, then his expression eased, and he asked anxiously: "The titles of monarchs and ministers have been determined, how can there be a chance?" Chen Ying said slowly: If the crown prince can be established, he can naturally be deposed!In ancient times, there were not many princes who were established but deposed?We may not have no chance!Furthermore, the eldest prince is weak and often sick, His Highness knows this better than his ministers, now that the Emperor is in his prime, and his body is strong, I am afraid that our prince will have to walk ahead of the Emperor in the future.

Your Highness, think about it, at that time, won't it be the situation between Taizu and Jianwen again?Lessons learned from the past, can the emperor not worry?As long as we stay in the capital, we can win over a group of ministers. At that time, we will mobilize a group of ministers to remonstrate, saying that the emperor's grandson is young, and the country will be suspicious if the master is young. consider?Even if your highness is only allowed to supervise the country and regent, this opportunity Zhu Gaoxu was a little moved, and said in a huff: "Then what should I do now?"

Chen Yingdao: "Since the crown prince is established, all the princes will be crowned kings."Does your Highness know, where is your feudal domain? Zhu Gaoxu asked urgently: Where is it? Chen Yingdao: The third prince was granted the title of King Zhao, and the feudal state of Yanjing.And your Second Highness, you have been granted the title of King of Han, and you are a vassal state in Yunnan! What? When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was furious again: The eldest son became the prince, and the third son was sealed in Yanjing, but I, the son who contributed the most to the father and the emperor, was dispatched to that remote and remote place where no shit?I don't agree!I'm going to find my father's theory!

Your Highness, don't worry, don't worry!I feel that what the emperor did is clearly a good thing for your Highness, not a bad thing! Zhu Gaoxu was startled again, carefully looking at the intriguing smile on Chen Ying's face, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized, excitedly said: I understand!The mountains in Yunnan are high and the emperor is far away. Do you want me to conquer Yunnan, and when there are land and people there, I will recruit troops and accumulate strength, so that one day I will follow the story of my father and the emperor, and take over the world and replace it? Chen Ying almost fainted out of breath when she heard this, Second Highness's force value is high enough, but this IQ is really

Chen Ying said angrily: "Your Highness, if you fight against the central government with a feudal domain, and can take over the world, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, is there anyone who can succeed?"Only the current emperor is alone!Not before, and never again!Your Highness, you must not leave the center. Once you leave, not only will you have no influence on the courtiers, but you will become indifferent in the emperor's heart after a long time. At that time, the situation will really be over! Zhu Gaoxu became a little impatient, and asked back: "Then what do you want from me?"

Chen Ying said: "Your Highness, you know in your heart that among the three princes, you are the one whom the emperor loves the most; among the three princes, you are the one with the most outstanding military exploits; and the heir apparent whom the emperor originally preferred is still you."That being the case, if the battle for crown prince failed, why could the third prince be sealed in the Longxing Land of Yanjing, but why did you drive the Second Highness to Yunnan far away? Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: that fat man must have slandered in front of his father!

Chen Ying shook her head again and again: No, no, this just shows that the emperor feels ashamed of you, and the emperor still feels that you are the most suitable person to be the emperor! Zhu Gaoxu said with a hey voice: You have sent me far away to Yunnan, and you still say such things! Chen Ying said seriously: No way!Your Highness has made no mistakes, and has always been favored. Now you are crowned king. Among the three princes, your domain is the poorest and the farthest. Why?It is because the emperor thinks that your highness is the most suitable and should be the crown prince, and now forced by the ancient patriarchal system, he has no choice but to leave the eldest prince as the crown prince, and he is also worried that he is far inferior to you, the second highness, in order to avoid civil strife in the future, so he puts you away. Transfer away.

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: Then send me to Yunnan?Even if I go to Yanjing, I still have his son in my heart, but my father Chen Yingdao: Yanjing is the land of dragon prosperity. The barbarism in the north is my confidant's serious trouble. The emperor has always attached great importance to it. In the future, he must visit Yanjing and pay attention to the frontiers. If you go to Yanjing, the Second Highness, how can father and son be spared? meet?The emperor is afraid of seeing you now, because the emperor feels that he has failed His Highness, Your Highness, do you understand? Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flickered. After thinking carefully for a while, he finally understood what Chen Ying meant. His anger calmed down, and he asked calmly: "I understand, so what should we do now?"

Chen Ying said: "The crown prince is very powerful right now, whatever we do, I'm afraid we will all become his stepping stones."For the time being, we will do nothing, but stay in Yanjing no matter what! As Chen Ying said, she whispered to Zhu Gaoxu's ear At the foot of Jilong Mountain, it was very lively.There is a constant flow of pedestrians on the street, and silk hats, shadows, and brocade clothes can be found everywhere. The center of the Ming Dynasty is rich and prosperous, and it is naturally incomparable to other places. Make a pot of tea in the teahouse, eat a box of small snacks, sit comfortably, chatting; spit on the street, trying to tell people's fortunes; Lifting the sedan chair, going south to north, east to west, bustling, endless, noisy. According to the mountain situation, the ridge is high, the eaves are upturned, and the black tiles are white. There is a place, just above the gate, a gold plaque hangs high, and it reads: "Spring Breeze Tower!" Chunfenglou is a high-end restaurant, but it is a little inferior to the 16th floor of Jinling built under the order of Taizu, but the place for banquets is chosen here, for the sake of the word "spring breeze" . The entire Chunfeng Building was booked out, and many court officials came to attend, in the name of cleaning up the dust for the Fu Guogong who returned from Liaodong. Of course, in fact, this is an official from the prince's faction who is the most important hero of the faction. Open the celebration banquet.Naturally, in addition to the qualified officials from the Prince's Faction, there are also many officials from the Fence Facility who are cramming to squeeze into the Prince's boat. These officials are not low-ranking, but they are old, treacherous and slippery types. Before the situation is clear, they will not express their position easily.Sending charcoal in the snow is of course more rewarding, but once you are in the wrong team, you may have to burn charcoal to kill yourself. These officials are either high enough, old, or lack of speculative spirit. Of course, we have to try our best to win over this kind of people. Once they succeed, they will be defiant. How can such a thing last long? However, Lu Zhen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was also present here, which was indeed unexpected by many people. This old man is too shameless. Yesterday he acted as the vanguard for the second prince to fight for the reserve, but today he transformed himself into the Duke of the Second Prince. The guest of honor doesn't even need a buffer stage.Many officials were quite surprised to see him, but Mr. Lu sat on the table calmly, talking and laughing happily, and didn't care about other people's strange eyes. For such an official whose skin is thicker than the city wall, everyone can only be amazed. This is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, one of the nine ministers. He is willing to stand up. Xia Xun is of course welcome. He hopes that all the officials who have opposed him will now vote for the prince. They are good under the sect, so naturally they won't make things difficult for Lu Zhen. In the restaurant, the varnished pear-wood carved window lattices were all opened, and the thin bamboo curtains of Xiangfei were lowered to block the sun, and the cool wind blows in, making the whole hall cool.Xia Xun was dressed in a moon-white robe inlaid with soap silk, wearing net gauze, and sat in the first seat.It was originally inappropriate for the First Prince to interact with them openly, and now that he is the Crown Prince, he has to avoid suspicion, so he can't come, and everyone is happy when the Crown Prince is away. Feather fans and towels, chatting and laughing happily. The screens on both sides of the building keep the musicians behind, only the melody can be heard, the red carpet is spread in front of the banquet, and several enchanting dancers are dancing. As for the adults, there are only officials and no wine waiters Fucai's girl is gone. How can an official of this level have a party next to a woman to wait on her? Even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, it is a bit out of date. Haha, Mr. Shaobao, the gentleman toasts you! Xie Jin has a good capacity for drinking, and he drank in a hurry. Before others persuaded him, he bottomed out a glass of wine. After a few glasses, his face was flushed. He also has a loud voice, and if you really want to talk about it, among Xia Xun's positions, titles, officials, and nobles, the Duke is the most respected, but he didn't call the Duke today, and deliberately called Xia Xun the Prince Shaobao, with a different intention. obvious. Xia Xun raised his cup with a smile, and glanced at a seat in the corner. The seats were filled with lower-level officials. Liu Yujue was also in the seat, and the seat was facing him. Looking at him, he raised his glass and smiled at him.Xia Xun shivered secretly: My God!Xiao Liu is also in his twenties, why is he still like a big girl, this smile is full of charms, fortunately we are brothers, otherwise people would think that we have some kind of love for him when he smiles at me like this Woolen cloth! Xia Xun hurriedly looked away, touched Xie Jin, but whispered in his heart: Ji Gang hasn't come yet
