Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 210; Underestimation

Gao Yanming knew very well what Emperor Hongwen was up to.

When the front was stable, I thought about how to deal with him every day, as well as the aristocratic family. Now that I am in trouble, I still want the aristocratic family to help?
There are such good things in the world.

Although Gao Yanming was a courtier of Dongzhou, he didn't have much respect for Emperor Hongwen in his heart.

Because in his opinion, the reason why Emperor Hongwen was able to stand out from the competition among the kings for hegemony was because he had a good wife and a good uncle.

Back then when the kings were fighting for hegemony, the capital was very lively. Several princes were fighting for power in the court.

As soon as there are too many people, the power in the hands of no prince is not strong, but what about Emperor Hongwen?
At that time, he was just a prince with a low sense of presence, and even a little timid, otherwise he would not have been fighting in the capital, so he ran to Jiangdong to escape.

It can be said that he was able to get the seat he is today, almost entirely due to the hard work of Lord Zhen Guo and Queen Wang, plus a bit of luck.

Nowadays, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are not one or two people who have Gao Yanming's thoughts.

This can be seen from the power of the court in the hands of Emperor Hongwen today.

Among the officials of Emperor Hongwen's faction, [-]% were those from poor families who did not have a deep background.

Not to mention the Ministry of War, now Emperor Hongwen only controls [-]% of the military power, and the other [-]% is in the hands of some neutral nobles, the one who holds the most is Zhen Guogong.

On the side of the civil servants, more than [-]% are from the aristocratic faction headed by Gao Yanming, and some are neutral, and the remaining [-]% are headed by Wen Songtao, that is, people from the emperor's faction.

How could Gao Yanming pay attention to an emperor with such little power.

If it weren't for the Duke of Zhen, Gao Yanming could completely suppress and beat an emperor like Emperor Hongwen, so how could he still be able to make him laugh and dance every day?
In fact, Gao Yanming and the aristocratic family had agreed that if His Majesty bowed his head, they would let go, and they would pull down after earning a lot of money.

However, during the recent period, some actions of Emperor Hongwen made Gao Yanming change his mind.

What is Emperor Hongwen's greatest reliance?
Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that it was Lord Zhen Guo, but Emperor Hongwen actually took back the post of commander of the Left Imperial Guard, which originally belonged to Duke Zhen's faction.

From Gao Yanming's point of view, Emperor Hongwen was trying to die, so he immediately changed his mind and wanted to wait a little longer.

Because the more you wait, the more anxious Emperor Hongwen will be, and when you are anxious, you will lose your mind.

In front of the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Hongwen ordered Zhen Guogong to lead troops to clean up the family, and he also knew about the refusal.

Wait a little longer, and Emperor Hongwen will be more dissatisfied with Duke Zhen, and will do more stupid things.

What Gao Yanming meant was to let them fight each other first, and then take this opportunity to get something in his hands.

"My lord, now our Majesty is in trouble."

Jin Wangfu, they are also clear about what happened in the palace today.

"Trouble? You underestimate him."

King Jin smiled and shook his head.

Not only Yan San underestimated Emperor Hongwen, but a large part of the civil and military circles in the Manchu Dynasty underestimated him.

The emperor didn't want to be so weak and weak on the surface.

For this emperor, he has a somewhat different view from Gao Yanming.

It is true that it was some luck that he was able to ascend to the throne of God at the beginning, but apart from luck, it was not entirely due to Lord Zhen Guo.

On the contrary, in his opinion, the first credit for Emperor Hongwen's ascending to the throne of God was himself. He knew how to see the situation clearly. Broken blood.

He sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight. He has nothing to do with himself, and he sees the kings consuming each other.

The second credit is luck. At that time, the Lord Zhen Guo was still Bei Wuhou, who was on the side of the northern Chu bandits. He received the order of the first emperor to fight there.

Almost all the people in his faction left the capital to avoid the vortex of the battle between the kings.

own strength is preserved.

Only then did the final decisive blow come.

That is to say, when Lord Zhen Guo returned to the court, the kings in the capital were more ruthless at each other, and they had crossed the bottom line. Although the first emperor was ill, he didn't know everything.

That's why Emperor Hongwen took a big deal.

If he is really an incompetent person, how can he manage Dongzhou in an orderly manner after ascending the throne?

"Does he still have some hidden power?"

Yan San was a little puzzled.

King Jin didn't answer him, but stood up slowly and walked out.

"My lord, where are you going?"

"Enter the palace and present His Majesty with a good solution to the crisis."

Yan San behind him was a little confused, completely unable to understand what happened to his prince?
At a time like this, shouldn't we watch the show quietly and wait for the opportunity?
Why do you still want to help, and still help His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin is seeking an audience outside."

In the imperial study, Wang De cautiously informed.

"What is he doing?"

Emperor Hongwen frowned and asked.

"The old slave doesn't know."

Wang De shook his head, and continued to ask cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you want to see me?"

"Pass it on."

Emperor Hongwen sorted out his emotions, and King Jin walked in from the outside after a while.

"The younger brother has met the emperor."

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be polite, come and sit."

Emperor Hongwen got up with a smile and walked out of the dragon case, calling to the resting place next to the Jin Dynasty.

Wang De offered two cups of tea himself.

"Emperor brother, are you still used to being in the Imperial Guard camp?"

"I'm not used to it. My younger brother still hopes to live a leisurely life before."

King Jin shook his head bluntly.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongwen was taken aback, he really didn't expect King Jin to answer him like this.

You know, in the past, he asked other courtiers, who didn't know the habit of talking, or that he would work hard to do a good job?

However, he was very satisfied with King Jin's answer.

"Brother Huang, can my younger brother stop doing it?"

King Jin asked again, with a bit of distress between his brows, as if he was very unwilling to continue working.

"That won't work."

Emperor Hongwen shook his head hastily, and then continued, "Imperial Brother, I need your help now, and Dongzhou also needs your help."

Hearing this, King Jin looked at him in a daze, his eyes full of doubts.

"Do you know what happened in court recently?"

"Well, I heard something."

"Dongzhou is very dangerous now. The gentry faction led by Gao Yanming is becoming more and more arrogant. I am being constrained everywhere."

King Jin frowned, and said immediately, "In this case, let Zhen Guogong lead the troops to teach them a lesson. If they don't obey, they will be beaten up. They will always be obedient."

"Duke Zhen?"

Emperor Hongwen sneered lightly, and the sarcasm in his eyes flashed away.

"That can't be done. You can't fight casually. If you don't do it right, it will cause chaos."
