Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 208: Abolish the Emperor?

"Brother Zhu, you gave me a big surprise last night!"

After the early court ended in the morning, Yuan Kai, who walked out of the imperial city with Zhu Yuanzhang, spoke with emotion on his face.

"Hehe, Duke Yuan laughed."

"After all, we are all for the good of the court!"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Biao led people to block the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army last night, revealing too much of his hidden strength.

In Yuan Kai's view, with the strength Zhu Yuanzhang demonstrated, he was no longer a younger brother who followed Yuan's family, but a powerful new family that could threaten the Yuan family's status in the court.

Especially today in the imperial court, the emperor Liu Bian was full of praise for Zhu Yuanzhang, and some even suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang should be appointed as the court captain in view of Zhu Yuanzhang's meritorious service last night.

In charge of the court's military equipment and political affairs.

Although in the end he mobilized courtiers to report and vetoed the proposal, Yuan Wei already saw that something was wrong!

Zhu Yuanzhang's power expanded too fast.

What made Yuan Kai even more puzzled was that the young emperor Liu Bian and the queen mother also favored Zhu Yuanzhang, which seemed extremely strange.

He didn't understand at all how Zhu Yuanzhang managed to do this in less than a month by taking advantage of the vain position of a Weiwei.

What annoyed Yuan Kui the most was that Zhu's status was pushed up by him.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words now, Yuan Kai still had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart.

This Zhu Yuanzhang was beyond his expectation.

And this Zhu family's strength, he really underestimated it before.

Now that the border troubles have been resolved, the central authority of the imperial court has stabilized again.

But stability does not mean balance.

The timing is quite delicate now, with He Jin's death, the Queen Mother He and Young Emperor Liu Bian in the palace lack a spokesperson outside the palace, and they must find another such person.

He originally thought that this person would be Shi Changshi, but now it seems more likely to be Zhu Yuanzhang.

But he really couldn't figure out how Zhu Yuanzhang, a minister from outside the court, could get in touch with Emperor Shao and Empress Dowager He and gain the trust of each other, despite being separated by many servants.

This is so weird.

"Father, this Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are deceiving people too much."

"He went directly to the palace without his father's permission, and asked for an imperial decree to exonerate Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan from guilt. What is he trying to do?"

"As a civil servant, he is making friends with a side general. What's the difference between him and He Jin?"

"This Zhu Yuanzhang must be rebellious. If he wants to rebel against us, he must find a way to get rid of him." Just as he returned to the mansion and sat down, Yuan Kai heard Yuan Shao shout.

He really lost face last night, and he was frightened enough.

He had seen Lu Bu's horror with his own eyes, but it was such a person who was easily suppressed by Zhu Biao.

This is just too ridiculous.

And it made him feel too insecure.

"I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang promised to provide the [-] frontier troops with food and grass for a year. The food and grass did not come from the imperial court. Where did he come from? Have you found out?"

"But there is a family of Sili who fell to Zhu Yuanzhang?" Yuan Kai ignored Yuan Shao's croaking, but frowned and asked.

"No, I have already sent people to investigate. His food and grass were not provided by the family in Sili. If the boy's people are not mistaken, he should get it directly from Jizhou." Yuan Shao said.

"Ah……!"

"It's really hard work!"

There was a gleam of coldness in Yuan Kai's eyes and he said to himself.

"Father, should we find someone to cut off their food supply?"

"Or simply...!" Yuan Shao wiped his neck with his hands while speaking.

"It's not that far yet!"

"Political struggle still has its rules. As a top family, such rules are in our best interest, but we cannot take the initiative to violate them."

"The most critical point now is to find out how they got in touch with the palace. This is very important."

"Also, we need to have more military power, especially the elite."

"At the beginning, to be honest, your performance last night disappointed my father. If you could defend the Suzaku gate, or you were the one who captured Lu Bu, then today's incident would not have happened at all."

"Remember, everything else is imaginary. Only power is real. Without power, we will be at a loss in everything we do..."

Yuan Kui groaned again when he said this: "Zhu Yuanzhang has too much manpower in Beijing, we can't sit still, let Yan Liangwenchou also come to Beijing!"

"Now that He Jin is dead, there is no point in continuing to hide these people. In the future, Luoyang will be the focus of the battle."

"Whoever can control the right to speak in Luoyang can command the world..." Yuan Kai said in a deep voice.

After Zhu Yuanzhang separated from Yuan Kui, he did not leave home.

He took Mao Xiang around Luoyang City.

"Mao Xiang, tell me what is the difference between this city and our Nanjing city?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"Report to the emperor, this place is too messy and dirty!"

Mao Xiang grinned: "There are beggars everywhere, and excrement everywhere. After staying in Nanjing for a while, returning to such a place, I really feel a little uncomfortable."

"right!"

"Not only are you not used to it, but even we are not used to it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "But it's coming soon, Jizhou is almost in order, our people are opening up the business road from Jizhou to Sili, and when our Ming's products start to appear in large quantities, Sili will appear in Luoyang City Luoyang will become better and better."

"Your Majesty, I think that according to our current strength, it is not a problem to directly kill that young emperor Liu Bian and change the name of the Ming Dynasty. Why let a little boy sit on the throne all the time!" Mao Xiang was silent for a while, and suddenly said .

"Not yet!"

"The 500-year-old Han Empire, do you think its belief in people's hearts can be collapsed if it collapses?"

"Not to mention anything else, just talk about Zhao Yun, how long has he been with Biaoer, but has he really been subdued?"

"It's not necessarily the case. He is still more loyal to the Han Dynasty."

"If we now abolish the Han Dynasty and establish our Ming Dynasty name, I'm afraid even Zhao Yun will object."

"As for people like Zhao Yun, there are countless people in the entire Han Dynasty."

"We came to this plane to recruit talents, not for an empty shell of the Han Empire."

"It doesn't make any sense to us."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he pondered for a while and couldn't help but smile: "But in this situation, we can indeed try to do something to test the reactions of the people in the world."

"Mao Xiang, how about we abolish the young emperor Liu Bian and make Liu Xie emperor?"
