Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1404 Emperor's Treasure

  Everyone has an idea.

   What's more, he is still a nobleman.

  For example, Zhu Zhixiong.

  Zhu Zhiyu, as a royal family and a vassal king, wants to go further, which is very reasonable.

   And... isn't this just the time of meeting?

  He is busy almost every day.

make friends.

   At this time, His Majesty is critically ill, and there is no news from the palace at all. The more so, the greater the speculation and criticism from the outside world.

  It's clear... His Majesty is about to make a big deal.

  This enfeoffment really caused many royal families to complain.

  They are all descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao. The emperor enjoys a peaceful life in Beijing. When we go to sea, God knows if we can reach the fief alive.

  This enfeoffment, to put it bluntly, is a continuation of the national policy of voyages to the West, which was presided over by Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan's **** is really harmful. He tricked everyone into buying a house, and even wanted to trick everyone into going to Huangjinzhou.

   This housing loan, you Fang Jifan will pay it back?

   What's more frightening is that His Majesty is still in power, and His Majesty is still kind, so everyone still has something to discuss.

  Once the new king ascends the throne, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will become the Son of Heaven. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heartless nature and wearing a pair of trousers with Fang Jifan, in the future... will there be a way out?

  Many people complain.

  Anxiety also pervaded.

  Using these complaints, Zhu Zhixiu can be said to be like a fish in water.

  He had a lot of silver and made good friends everywhere.

   Banquets are held in the mansion every day, and there are many clans and ministers, and even many military officials.

  The wine was over, Zhu Zhiyu was supported by his concubine to the side hall, someone brought tea, he sat down, took a sip of tea, and exhaled.

  Several clan members who were closest to him sat down and looked at Zhu Zhixiu.

   "Uncle Wang, you have heard the news. His Majesty called the clan and important officials into the palace... It's a bit strange that there is no news from the palace after such a big battle."

   The person who spoke was the third son of King Jin, the king of Anxi County, named Zhu Biao.

  Zhu Biaozhen is very young, and he is the second son. He only succeeded to a county prince.

Zhu Zhixie sighed: "I think it's because His Majesty has run out of oil and the lamp is dry. At this time, I have to call the prince and all the ministers to entrust the funeral. Hey... Speaking of it, His Majesty today can be regarded as a wise man. Unfilial, we wait, why are we so anxious all day long. Now His Majesty is going to make a big deal, and our hard days are coming."

  Everyone showed worry.

Zhu Biaozhen thought of something: "Uncle Wang, I feel very uneasy recently, it seems...the factory guards are watching us, Uncle Wang, will we be...could be detected by the factory guards? What, when..."

  Zhu Zhiyu smiled and stroked his beard.

  He is already regarded as a great wise man in the clan.

  Looking at the worried juniors.

  Zhu Zhiyu said lightly: "The crux of the problem lies here."

  He paused: "If Your Majesty's dragon body is safe, what we are waiting for here will be detected by the factory guards, and we will inevitably face disaster. Then King Ning, isn't he a role model for us?"

As he said that, Zhu Zhixiu said again: "But... the problem happens to be here. Your Majesty is critically ill, the new king has not yet been established, the lord is young and the country is suspicious, and the officials are uneasy. Think about it. At this juncture, if Your Majesty finds out, many The clans of the entire family have been secretly connected, and even have a close relationship with many ministers, and...the Beijing camp, there are people in the Beijing camp who are friendly with us, let's say the Shenji camp, the commander of the Shenji camp can almost be with us This king has become a brother. Think about it, what will His Majesty think of it?"

  Everyone was silent, looking at Zhu Zhixiu suspiciously.

Zhu Zhixiu smiled: "At this time, His Majesty was furious when he heard the news, but he has reached this point, and it is too late to eradicate what he thinks is a threat. The crown prince is ignoring him again. At this time, His Majesty's heart... I think there is only Be afraid."

   Fear…

   Yes, things went wrong when they least expected.

   Can you not be afraid?

  Those who are dying, think about what will happen after death, whether their descendants will be safe or not, and even... trigger an unpredictable rebellion.

"The more worried your Majesty is, the less he dares to act rashly, because he knows very well that there are countless potential enemies of His Majesty the Crown Prince. If you do it rashly, not to mention that His Majesty does not know when he will die, people will be panicked, and...he also It is impossible to predict how many people will be involved in this matter once we do it, and how much power we have accumulated behind us, if we can't control it well, then... things will get out of control, and His Majesty may die, and he will not be able to survive."

  Everyone nodded.

good…

"I contacted a lot of people. In fact, it was for the factory guards to see. After the factory guards saw it, they went to tell His Majesty and let him know that our clan is a noble family. We are not weak or bullied. They are all Taizu After Emperor Gao, they will be emperors, we recognize them, but if they make us uneasy, this... can't be done! If he wants to live a good life, we should live a good life, we can't live a good life, and he can't rest in peace when he dies."

  Zhu Zhixie stood up and smiled: "So... I'm waiting, not to rebel, but to wrestle secretly. Use these methods to let His Majesty make a choice before making a big move."

   "Uncle Wang, what choice."

"It's very simple. It's a question of who the prince entrusts Gu to. If His Majesty still trusts Fang Jifan, then... people like Ouyang Zhi will definitely take this opportunity to stand out, and even... people like Ouyang Zhi will join the cabinet. Of course, if this is the case , Your Majesty must predict that a rebellion is about to start. Our goal is to be on the side of the Qing Emperor, and if Your Majesty does not want this rebellion, then...he may make another choice, such as...decree to leave Zong Dear, don’t let them join the feudal clan, and at the same time, choose a few highly respected princes from the clan to assist the prince together with the cabinet scholars. Only in this way can the relationship between the prince and the clan be eased.”

  Everyone suddenly realized.

I see.

  Thinking about it carefully, it really is so.

  Does Your Majesty want to kill each other, or do you want a Fang Jifan?

   This seems like an easy choice.

  The former may not only lead to a rebellion, but also may let the world see that the clans of the Ming Dynasty will fight each other. Liu Han's Rebellion of Seven Kingdoms, Sima Family's Rebellion of Eight Kingdoms, Xuanwumen's Change, Zhao Song's Ax Light and Candle Shadow, and the Jingnan Battle of this Dynasty, there are too many precedents.

  His Majesty decreed to depose Fang Jifan directly, exile him to Huangjinzhou, and ease the relationship with the clan, so that such a thing could be avoided.

  Because...he hoped that his son would ascend the throne smoothly.

  At this time...he had run out of fuel, and since he didn't know how many followers Zhu Zhixiong had, he had no time to resolve this matter, so he could only ease relations with the clan and buy time for the prince.

"Once Fang Jifan and his disciples completely collapse, then... the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and we, the uncles of the new emperor, can intervene in the government affairs. We are all descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao, If we hadn't been driven to a desperate situation, how could we bear to see our brothers and sisters fight each other? In fact... His Majesty knows what we want. He only needs to sacrifice one Fang Jifan. What is it to him? Compared with the country and the country, how can your majesty not think carefully?"

  Of course Zhu Zhixiu didn’t tell them that this was just his first plan.

  As long as Fang Jifan is condemned, no, even if His Majesty only orders Fang Jifan to go to sea immediately and the new king ascends the throne, everything will be smooth.

  Without Fang Jifan, His Highness the Crown Prince's mischievous temperament, I'm afraid it won't take long before it will cause complaints from the whole court. Only then... will there be a real chance.

  Zhu Zhiyu smiled: "So, tomorrow is the most important thing. In front of His Majesty, let His Majesty make a decision early. Thinking about it, His Majesty should issue a will tomorrow. It is also the time when His Majesty is weakest. This is the best time."

  Zhu Biao nodded again and again, thinking that it made sense, so many clan relatives, compared with Fang Jifan, His Majesty should know how important they are.

  However...he was still a little uneasy: "But if...if... His Majesty refuses."

"He has no time." Zhu Zhixiong said lightly: "If His Majesty had another year to live, he might have made another choice, but now that his time is approaching, he will definitely make the best choice for His Highness the Crown Prince. He also I definitely don't want, at this time, to kill each other, I don't want to push all the clan relatives to the opposite side, no matter what, the world belongs to the Zhu family..."

   "Of course..." Zhu Zhixiu looked like he was holding Zhizhu, and laughed: "For safety, I have already made arrangements."

   "Arrangement... what arrangement?"

  Zhu Zhiyu actually took out a seal from his sleeve, and with a click, the seal rolled on the copy.

  Everyone was dumbfounded, and all of them turned pale with shock: "This...this is..."

"This is the emperor's treasure. Of course, it's a fake, but speaking of it... it's all thanks to His Royal Highness. There are plenty of these things in His Royal Highness's Zhan Shi's Mansion. I only need to spend a little money, and there are people from Zhan Shi's Mansion." , I stole one, not to mention, this thing can almost be confused with the real thing, it is even more real than the real thing, with this, if this king makes a decree, send it to the Shenji Camp, and order the Shenji Camp Commander, lead troops tomorrow, quickly surround Xishan Academy, and say, this is the emperor's order...Think about it..."

When Zhu Zhixiu said this, he became excited, and he clenched his fists: "Let's take this opportunity to wipe out all the people in Xishan Academy. If the news reaches His Majesty, His Majesty is already exhausted, what kind of fear will he feel?" , In this panic and anger, he thought that Xishan Academy had been cut off, the tree was done, and the raw rice was cooked. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, he could only admit it with his nose, and at this time, it was time for Fang Jifan to face a catastrophe. , Your Majesty must make a choice that benefits us!"
