Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Feeling his gaze, Emperor Hongwen snorted angrily.

"I am also the monarch of Dongzhou after all, can't I even see some things happening in the capital?"

As the monarch of Dongzhou, the capital is completely his courtyard, how could he not know what happened here?

Prince Li's Mansion has popped up frequently recently, how could he not notice?
Now that you notice it, you will definitely find someone to pay attention to it.

"Our old Uncle Wang has been low-key and dormant for most of his life, but he didn't expect to want to move up when he was about to come."

"Ok?"

King Jin narrowed his eyes, and immediately grasped the key words in Emperor Hongwen's words.

Move up?
Prince Li is already a first-rank prince, and at the top, he is the emperor.

This Prince Li actually has such thoughts?I have to say that King Jin was really surprised.

If he remembers correctly, Prince Lao Li is almost seventy years old, and he still wants to move up, really.
But after thinking about it, maybe he has been unwilling all these years.

He remembered hearing something about the late Emperor when he was young.

There were quite a few princes in the generation of the first emperor. After all, the father of the first emperor, the grandfather of King Jin, was the founding king of Dongzhou.

Ben was a member of the clan in the former dynasty, and he lived a better life when he was young. After going through turbulent times, he gained a lot of beauties, and at the same time, many local gentry gave women for their clinging relationship.

Therefore, Taizu had a total of sixteen sons, the first emperor was the seventh son, and the prince Li was the twelveth son.

Although the rankings of the two brothers are relatively far apart, the age difference is less than two years old.

The mothers of the two were also the daughters of some noble gentry at that time. Among the many women of the Taizu, their status was not high. After all, there were many women around the Taizu, and many of them had status.

Either they were the daughters of some high-ranking officials from the previous dynasty, or they were the daughters of aristocratic families.

After all, if Dongzhou wanted to establish a country, it would not be enough to rely on war alone. It also needed the support of all parties. The support of the aristocratic family for Taizu was very large, and it all relied on these in-laws.

It's just that with the success of Taizu's founding of the country, these aristocratic families became a little unclear. In the generation of the late emperor, there were several factions fighting for each other.

At one point, the situation in Dongzhou collapsed at that point. In his anger, Taizu directly waved his butcher knife to deal with many restless aristocratic families.

The aristocratic families here are not the ones now. Although these aristocratic families also helped Taizu at that time, the relationship was not too deep, and after the founding of Dongzhou, these aristocratic families were not too noisy.

In addition, Taizu used a knife at that time, and all these guys were very honest, and Taizu also needed these people to help stabilize the situation of Dongzhou people, so these people were allowed to survive.

It is precisely because of this willingness that the mother and concubine of the first emperor and the concubine of Prince Li are just the daughters of noble gentry, and naturally they cannot be compared with the women from these rich families.

So the relationship between the two women is relatively close on weekdays. Firstly, they can't compete with other women, and secondly, both of them have princes who can keep their status, and they just want to live in peace, so there is no conflict.

The two mothers and concubines got close, so the relationship between the late Emperor and Prince Li was naturally close as well.

And as the fight for the throne became more and more fierce, Taizu also moved the knife, and many brothers who were jumping more happily were cleaned up.

Among the remaining ones, apart from some who can only eat, drink and have fun, there are only princes whose mother clan is not strong.

After the chaotic situation, Taizu also understood that if the prince's mother clan was strong, it would not be a good thing for Dongzhou's future, so when choosing a successor later, the prince's mother clan was the first consideration.

This made both the late Emperor and Prince Li come into his sight.

Then there is training and training.

Both Emperor Xian and Prince Li were very good candidates, but in the end the seat fell to Emperor Xian.

Since then, Prince Li, who was able to compete with the late emperor, has changed, becoming low-key and not showing off.

So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now that he is almost seventy years old and still has thoughts, it is enough to see that he is very unwilling to miss the throne.

It's just that there is one thing he can't figure out. He has been dormant for so many years. In the past years, Dongzhou has also experienced many problems. Why he didn't move at that time, and now Emperor Hongwen cleared the court.

Dongzhou court and people are very stable, but he moved.

As if seeing his doubts, Emperor Hongwen's complexion became a little ugly.

"My people in front of me received a message that people from Prince Li's Mansion had contact with people from Zhen Guogong's mansion."

As soon as these words came out, King Jin's eyes shrank suddenly.

"You mean, Prince Li might already know about it?"

"It's not certain yet, but judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that we already know it."

King Jin's complexion became serious in an instant. This is a big deal. If Prince Li is exposed, the whole Dongzhou will probably be shaken by it.

At the same time, the situation that has finally stabilized now may collapse in an instant.

There's going to be big trouble.

Such a sentence popped up in King Jin's heart.

However, Emperor Hongwen on the opposite side was relatively calm at that time.

"But you don't have to worry too much."

"It's not a worry, if."

Before King Jin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Hongwen with a smile.

"It's been so many years, so what if he knows? Who would believe it without evidence?"

"And think about it, if he had evidence, how could he be so cautious?"

Hearing this, King Jin's originally chaotic heart calmed down slightly, nodded and said, "That's true, but this matter is still very troublesome."

"Since you have already guessed the situation of Prince Li, why did you give the position of commanding the army in the North to Prince Li's son?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen smiled and said, "If he wants to fight, then give it. As for what he will do in the future, I can't predict it, but if he is honest, I don't mind pretending not to know, if he is not honest."

He didn't say the following words, but Jin Wang understood.

That's right, if Prince Li is honest and pretends not to know anything, his family can still be saved. If he is dishonest, then with the support of the Northern Land military power, he will definitely move.

Once he moved, without evidence, he would commit rebellion and treason, and then Emperor Hongwen would be able to get rid of Prince Li's family openly and aboveboard.

This is better than allowing Prince Li's family to plan secretly in the capital to find evidence.

After all, he is a prince and the uncle of Emperor Hongwen. Although he has kept a low profile for so many years, his status in the clan is not low. It is impossible to deal with it, let alone kill him.

"You're taking a risk."

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward."

Emperor Hongwen is a character who likes to gamble, didn't he gamble when he dealt with Duke Zhen?

"Besides, don't you still have you here? I believe you won't let him succeed."
