The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 38 Countermeasures
The next day.

With the sound of retreating.

Ending early.

Yan Wang Zhu Di returned to the mansion with a heavy expression.

As a vassal king, although he needed to go to court early when he was in Beijing, he had nothing else to do.

Compared with the ministers who continue to work after the next dynasty, it is relatively easier.

"Your Highness, what happened in court made His Highness so unhappy."

Back at the mansion, Zhu Di called Yao Guangxiao, and then turned back around, apparently there was something important to discuss.

Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao asked.

Zhu Di snorted coldly when he heard this, and then explained.

"Early today, the emperor suddenly announced that in order to solve the famine, and at the same time speed up the construction of the mausoleum of the elder brother, 3000 people will be recruited from the victims of the disaster to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the relief will be implemented with work."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao pondered a little in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty's actions, I am afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

Zhu Di nodded and said affirmatively, "It's only natural. Thousands of craftsmen were working on the mausoleum of eldest brother earlier, and it has been basically completed, leaving only some delicate work."

"These folks, how can they do such things, rough hands and feet, not to mention building, destroying is almost the same."

"Father, how could he not understand these things? Obviously, these three thousand civilian husbands did not go to build the mausoleum of the eldest brother, and they must have other purposes."

Yao Guangxiao said with some doubts: "There are so many 3000 people, it is possible that there are other intentions, that is."

After hesitating for a while, Yao Guangxiao said, "It's just for digging the tomb, so it wouldn't take so many people."

Yao Guangxiao did not bluntly say that Zhu Yuanzhang would dig up Zhu Xiongying's grave to check the condition of the bones.

But Zhu Di can naturally understand the meaning.

"What the master doesn't know is that ten years ago, on the second night after my eldest nephew was buried, the dragon suddenly rolled over."

"It happened to be in the mausoleum of the king's nephew, which also caused the entire mausoleum to collapse completely."

"At that time, my father also sent people to dig, but the subsidence was too deep and there were too many places to move. My father was afraid that the feng shui of the ancestral mausoleum would be damaged, so he stopped."

"Now that Zhu Ying has appeared, with my father's temperament, I will dig it out no matter what."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice, the past court secrets were also told in this way.

Yao Guangxiao immediately understood why Zhu Di was in a bad mood.

Obviously, if this is really dug out, the bones will be placed there vividly by then.

So Zhu Ying who is alive now is undoubtedly a fake.

All Zhu Di's arrangements were immediately voided.

Once Zhu Yunqi was canonized as the grandson of the emperor, everything would be over, and there was nothing he could do.

Although Zhu Di wanted to be the emperor very much, he didn't have the idea of ​​rebellion in his heart.

Even if Zhu Yunqi really became the emperor, Zhu Di would not, or dare not rebel.

Just relying on the soldiers and horses in his hands, isn't rebellion courting death?

Later, he was forced to the point where there was nothing he could do. Not rebelling would be death, and rebellion would be death, so he gave up his life.

Under many factors, Zhu Di finally got away with it.

Throughout the past and present, there are many rebellions among vassal kings, but the only real success is Zhu Di.

This has something to do with luck, strength, military talent, and Zhu Yunqi's poor hand, all of which cannot be ignored.

If there is a mistake anywhere, the designation is the end of failure.

So Zhu Di planned the throne, but he didn't expect to get it by rebellion.

Of course, Yao Guangxiao didn't know about the court secrets that Zhu Di said. After listening to it, the doubts in his mind disappeared immediately.

"Looking at it this way, the matter is beyond doubt." Yao Guangxiao said in a deep voice.

Zhu Di nodded, and said unwillingly, "Master, look at what we can do now."

The Xiaoling Guard who guarded the spirit of the Ming Dynasty was extremely loyal to the royal family, and Zhu Di couldn't get involved at all.

And for such things, the emperor will definitely arrange Jin Yiwei to monitor it. It is too difficult to cheat the sky and change the sky.

Yao Guangxiao was silent for a long time, thinking about the countermeasures in his mind.

Seeing this, Zhu Di waited quietly, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

After a long time, Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Highness, I wonder if there is a way to let the poor monk go to the Xiaoling Mausoleum to have a look."

Zhu Di heard the words and said: "The ancestral mausoleum is guarded by heavy soldiers, and even this king is not allowed to enter without an order."

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Di said again: "But there is a way. I can tell my father that I miss my mother in my heart, and I want to pay a memorial service. I think my father will not refuse."

Yao Guangxiao nodded. Zhu Di's reason was very good. Zhu Yuanzhang, as his father, certainly had no reason to refuse his son's sacrifice to his mother.

So Yao Guangxiao explained: "The poor monk once learned yin and yang art from his master, and he also dabbled in geomancy."

"His Highness said that the earth dragon rolled over and caused the mausoleum to collapse. In the eyes of the poor monk, it is a defect in the ground."

"If the poor monk can carefully survey the public and calculate the geography of it, His Highness only needs to arrange a few people to break the ground according to the direction set by the poor monk when excavating."

"The poor monk is [-]% sure that it can cause a second collapse."

Yao Guangxiao said confidently.

The master he once followed, Xi Yingzhen, is extremely proficient in yin and yang, astronomy and geography.

Yao Guangxiao is the heir to the mantle, not to mention surpassing, most of the cost is still learned.

The yin and yang spell itself contains the knowledge of geomantic omen, and Yao Guangxiao can figure out a general situation with just a few sentences.

When Zhu Di heard this, his originally frowning brows suddenly relaxed.

If it is true that the mausoleum can be submerged again and buried deep in the ground, it may be possible to dispel the idea of ​​the father.

Digging a mausoleum is not like robbing a tomb, just dig a hole and get in.

Instead, it requires a large area of ​​groundbreaking, and then continues to dig deep.

The deeper you dig, the larger the moving area.

It doesn't matter about other places, but the imperial mausoleum is related to the Feng Shui national fortune of the entire Ming Empire.

Furthermore, even if Yao Guangxiao has the ability to cause a second collapse, he must also be able to cause a third collapse.

The so-called one can be two can not be three.

It would be an ominous sign if there were to be three collapses.

Even the emperor father needs to be scruples when the time comes.

"Then please trouble the master. After tomorrow morning, the king will ask the father to pay homage to the mother."

After deciding on this matter, Zhu Di will start to arrange personal guards to lurk among the refugees.

at this time,

Those strongmen who came from the desert have already received Zhu Ying's order.

All the captives were killed without mercy.

Then, after transporting the goods to the designated location, they rode away on horseback.

After the next morning morning,
Zhu Di, who was going to pay homage to his father and ask to pay homage to his mother, stood in front of the empty canopy hall and was sad alone.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly left the morning court, and impatiently went out of the palace to meet his eldest grandson.

He didn't go to the Huagai Palace to deal with government affairs at all.
