Zhu Di naturally knew that there were some problems, but he was not a treacherous or evil person.

These are not big problems, after all, they are all flesh and blood people, a little bit wrong, more like a person.

Talented people will be loyal to the king and sympathetic to the people.

The ones who are okay are the saints, they are only loyal to the people, not the king.

As an emperor, he prefers loyal ministers to Lord Qingtian.

Because the loyal ministers are the emperor's ministers, and the master Qingtian is the master of the people, and he is not loyal to the emperor.

There must be such Qingtian masters, but not many, and they cannot be in high positions, because once they are in high positions, they will kill themselves and they will not live long.

"This time, I want to ask you something."

Zhu Di finally stopped testing him and explained his reason for coming.

"I've heard a lot about Han Wang's illegal activities recently, have you heard about it?"

Yang Shiqi said very sincerely: "No."

He has been locked up for several months, and he can hear that there is a ghost.

Zhu Di glanced at him: "Then do you think that these rumors may be true because of the King of Han?"

"I don't know the King of Han well."

"The king of Han has always regarded his ministers as the prince's people, so the king of Han has always been jealous of his ministers, so anyone who is close to the king of Han has never interacted with his ministers, because the ministers do not understand."

That's right.

Zhu Di laughed, why, the King of Han misunderstood you?Are you not from the prince?

You are not, can I lock you up here?

This old guy, at this time, is still playing stupid with me.

Zhu Di didn't bother to expose him, since he wasn't going to tell the truth, there was no need to stay with him in this stinky place.

So he stood up and patted the grass clippings on his clothes, preparing to leave.

But at this time Yang Shiqi spoke up on his own.

"Your Majesty won't let the ministers guess, what kind of illegal things did the King of Han do?"

Zhu Di looked back at him: "Do you want to guess?"

"Okay, then you can guess. If you guess right, I will let you out earlier. If you guess wrong, you can stay here."

Yang Shiqi kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After kowtowing, he said.

"If my guess is correct, the King of Han still refuses to surrender."

Zhu Di frowned upon hearing this.

"What do you think, I intend to let him go to the imperial court?"

"It's not difficult to guess that the state-owned funeral is the best time for the king of Han to leave Nanjing and go to the fiefdom."

Everyone in the ruling and opposition parties knew that the reason why the King of Han had been dragging his feet and refusing to go to the feudal domain was to honor the queen.

Now that the queen has passed away, there is nothing wrong with him.

At this time, even if the emperor doesn't mention it, other ministers will inevitably propose to let the King of Han become a vassal.

After all, the King of Han has too much power, he has a large army, and he is still a prince. Staying in Nanjing is the number one factor of instability in the court.

Send him away, everyone is comfortable.

This kind of thinking is not only shared by the princelings, but also by the emperor. After all, Taizu did the same to protect Jianwen.

Although the emperor is dissatisfied with the prince now, he is the prince after all. As long as the emperor has no intention of abolishing the prince for a day, he doesn't want this turbulent factor to exist for too long.

When Yang Shiqi said this, Zhu Di felt that it was reasonable.

"Then what do you think is the purpose of King Han doing this?"

This is clearly asking the question knowingly. The king of Han refused to leave Nanjing because he was afraid that he would lose control of the court if he stayed away from the court.

Yang Shiqi understood it, and the emperor naturally understood it, so Yang Shiqi didn't say it clearly, but changed another way.

"Your Majesty, the King of Han has repeatedly refused to join the feudal clan. You can understand that he did it out of filial piety a few times ago, but now that His Majesty is moving the capital to Beiping, he still wants to stay in Nanjing. His Majesty must know better than your minister what his intentions are. "

This is a big deal, and it directly raises the theme by a latitude.

In the past, if it was said that the King of Han did not go to the vassal because he coveted the position of the crown prince, now that Yang Shiqi said so, it became that he coveted the throne.

Because if the king of Han only coveted the position of prince, then he only needs to follow the emperor, and he will go wherever the emperor goes. After all, where the emperor is, there is the center of power.

Moreover, the position of prince depends on the emperor in the end.

Although external forces such as hundreds of officials can influence, it is only influence, and the emperor himself makes the final decision.

So if you want the crown prince, you just need to follow the emperor and please him.

But now Yang Shiqi understands the goal of the King of Han as Nanjing, not the emperor. This is not a problem with the prince, but the throne.

After all, Nanjing is the imperial city of Ming Dynasty. Even after the capital is moved, it will still be the most prosperous place in the whole country in a short time.

Especially the economy, the people, and the army will not be able to be completely relocated for a while. At least in the next few years, these will be centered on Nanjing.

If they moved their capital and left Nanjing, but the King of Han stayed, wouldn't the center of the country fall into the hands of the King of Han?

By that time, wouldn't King Han become his second self?

Zhu Di was awakened by Yang Shiqi's words, and his face was instantly filled with shock.

Although he also felt that the King of Han did not have the courage at first, but now there are various signs that the King of Han is ambitious.

Compared with Li Shimin, besides criticizing the prince, don't you mean to regard yourself as Li Yuan?

Then he asked for more government soldiers with lame reasons, and now he even refuses to go to places as close as Qingzhou, and insists on staying in Nanjing.

Zhu Di's suspicion was suddenly aroused.
