Tianxiang Tower.

Backyard wing.

"General Geng, please take a seat."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, pointed to the chair next to him, and said politely.

He has long understood the profound meaning of Corporal Li Xian.

"I wonder why His Highness Taisun invited me here?"

Geng Bingwen hesitated for a moment, pretended to be calm and sat on the chair, and slowly asked, not straight to the point, but testing.

After all, he had never had any contact with Zhu Yunxi, and he would never come forward to rescue his son for no reason.

"I've heard about General Geng's reputation for a long time, and we've known each other for a long time. We've long wanted to meet each other, so I made an appointment with General Geng here today."

"If there is anything rude, I hope General Geng will forgive me."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, cupped his hands, and pretended to be secretive.

"There's no need to be polite. I have important matters to attend to, so I can't stay longer. I hope Your Highness will get straight to the point."

Geng Bingwen waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Alright."

"I dare to ask General Geng, do you think that my second brother Zhu Yunwen is the most suitable candidate for the future crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, or is this palace more suitable?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and asked directly.

Hearing this, Geng Bingwen's expression suddenly changed, he looked at Zhu Yunxi in surprise, and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi would get straight to the point so suddenly!

"Your Highness asked me to come here, wasn't it to rescue the child?"

Geng Bingwen frowned and said slowly, avoiding answering Zhu Yunxi's question.

"That's something to talk about later. It depends on whether General Geng's answer is consistent with what I have in mind."

Zhu Yunxi explained with a smile, as calm as water.

"Hasn't His Highness already assumed the position of grandson? Moreover, His Majesty has won His favor, so why do you still ask this question?"

Geng Bingwen hesitated and said slowly.

"To be honest, the reason why I was established as the grandson was actually because someone in our court colluded with the party and intended to assassinate the crown prince and bring trouble to the court. Therefore, I begged the emperor to make me the grandson. Make sure my second brother is fine."

"Now that the traitor Xie Linzhou has been eliminated, the original agreement has naturally come to an end. Even I don't know how long I can hold the position of great grandson."

"So, I would like to ask General Geng, who do you think is the most suitable candidate, putting all these aside?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, and told the fact that he begged Zhu Yuanzhang to pretend to make him his grandson, and then looked at Geng Bingwen seriously and continued to ask.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Geng Bingwen was surprised again, frowned and fell into deep thought.

By now, he had already guessed Zhu Yunxi's intention of inviting him here.

"I know that all the civil and military officials in the court have their own masters for many years, and they have their own masters in their hearts. However, if Your Majesty insists on appointing a grandson among the emperor's grandsons and selecting a candidate for the crown prince, many people will stand with the second brother. Side."

"After all, I have a painful past. No one would be willing to assist a loser, even if the loser is not really worthless."

Seeing that Geng Bingwen had been silent, Zhu Yunxi sighed and said meaningfully.

"If anyone still thinks His Highness is a waste today, then he is the real waste!"

Geng Bingwen hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and said seriously.

"General Geng is overly praised."

"So, who do you think is the best candidate?"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, changed the subject, and continued to ask.

"Since His Highness has asked so, I will tell you what I have to say."

"In terms of his style of conduct, His Highness is obviously more capable than the Second Emperor's grandson, and he is also a more suitable candidate."

"But His Highness has no foundation, and there must be only a handful of true supporters in the DPRK and China. He is single and weak, so it may be difficult."

"Although the Second Emperor's grandson is currently banned from the palace by His Majesty, there are far more courtiers in the court who support him than His Highness, and they are more popular among the people. Therefore, if the people and courtiers are left to choose, His Highness has no chance of winning."

"However, the matter of establishing the crown prince must ultimately be left to the decision of His Majesty. Others cannot overstep his authority and have no right to obstruct it."

Geng Bingwen pondered for a moment, then said with a serious face, and his words were flawless.

"That's why I have to establish my own foundation, not only to win over the courtiers, but also to win over the people. When the time is right, it will naturally fall into place."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and blurted out, as if in front of Geng Bingwen, he had no intention of hiding any of his thoughts.

No matter which sentence these words were spread out, they would probably cause an uproar, so Zhu Yunxi's frankness shocked Geng Bingwen time and time again.

"Your Highness, do you want me to swear allegiance?"

Geng Bingwen raised his eyebrows after thinking deeply and asked slowly.

"Right on my mind."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and spoke frankly.

"But I have been idle at home for a long time. I have not been involved in court affairs for many years. I am afraid that as an idle man, I cannot help His Highness."

Geng Bingwen said with a wry smile.

"Even if the lion king retires to the mountains and forests due to old age, he is still the king of beasts! With General Geng's prestige in the military, as long as you raise your arms and call for help, there will be countless responders!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head, looked at Geng Bingwen meaningfully, and said seriously.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Geng Bingwen was shocked again. He looked at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He did not expect that Zhu Yunxi would be so ambitious and would even think of using himself to intervene in the army and cultivate power in the army!

Zhu Yunxi did not chase after him, but looked at Geng Bingwen sincerely with a faint smile, waiting for Geng Bingwen's reply.

He knows deeply that since ancient times, those who are in charge of the army can rule the world!

Why did King Yan Zhu Di become the highest-ranking prince among the princes after Zhu Biao's death despite not having the eldest son? !

It is precisely because he holds the military power! The bravery and skill of Yanbei's army is known to all the world!

"Your Highness, can you really let Quanzi come out of the Criminal Department unharmed?"

After Geng Bingwen hesitated for a moment, he looked at Zhu Yunxi seriously and asked.

"No joke!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded affirmatively and answered without thinking.

"it is good!"

"I still have a question in my mind, and I hope Your Highness will tell you the truth!"

Geng Bingwen nodded, hesitated, and said meaningfully.

"All ears."

Zhu Yunxi raised his hand to signal, without any hesitation.

"Is the recent case of Xie Linzhou and the murder of Lu Wenbo related to His Highness?"

Geng Bingwen looked directly at Zhu Yunxi and asked slowly.

He originally had such a guess after the Northern War. It was not until Zhu Yunxi personally admitted that he wanted to compete for the position of crown prince that his guess came to mind again, and he became more and more certain!

So many things happened some time ago, maybe it was really planned by the grandson in front of me!

Because if Zhu Yunxi wants to become the crown prince, then the second emperor's grandson and King Yan will be his biggest obstacles! And everything happened to Xie Linzhou and the Lu family overnight. There can't be such a coincidence in the world!

"That's right, not only is it related, but it is also controlled by me!"

"Xie Linzhou is not a traitor at all. There is no so-called traitor in the government who colludes with the party. Everything is just an illusion deliberately created by me, because I know that he is the fourth uncle's son."

"At that time, Zhang Yu, the commander of the Secret Supervision Department under Fourth Uncle, was in Kyoto, so I led Li Jinglong to suspect that Xie Linzhou was a traitor who colluded with the party, and sent people to attack the northern border contact point lurking in Kyoto. , put the blame on the Lu family!"

"As soon as this incident came out, Zhang Yu led the secret supervision department to attack the Lu family and killed Lu Wenbo!"

"At this point, Jinxiu Palace and Fourth Uncle will be completely incompatible with each other! In this way, I will have time to develop and expand my own power, and only then will we be able to have the frank treatment between you and me tonight."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, and after a slight hesitation, he calmly recounted the chaos that occurred in Kyoto some time ago. His calm demeanor seemed to be narrating the storyline in the book "The Ming Dynasty".

But after hearing all this, Geng Bingwen was completely stunned on his chair, eyes wide open, looking at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief.

He didn't expect that everything was the handiwork of the grandson in front of him! Such a scheming city is simply terrifying!

What he didn't expect even more was that this grandson seemed to really tell him everything and didn't hide anything!

If this matter is leaked out, it will definitely shock Kyoto. Not to mention the ownership of the crown prince, I am afraid that the grandson in front of me will die without a burial place!

Your Majesty, King Yan, and Jinxiu Palace will not let him go easily...
