Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 755; What do you think of King Jin?

At Dong Xiang's residence, someone from the palace sent him a letter a few days ago.

The person who wrote the letter was Concubine Dong. After reading the contents of the letter, Prime Minister Dong was a little uncertain.

To be honest, he was very moved by Dong Bin's thoughts.

After all, if the third prince takes that position, then the Dong family will be able to grow and develop steadily for a long time to come.

There is no longer any need to worry that Emperor Hongwen will attack their Dong family.

Because the third prince still needs the Dong family.

At the same time, he was also a little afraid, if Emperor Hongwen really wanted to establish the third prince, then he would definitely straighten Dong Concubine, so that the third prince could be given the status of a descendant.

After all, since Queen Wang was abolished and mad, the position in the middle palace has been vacant, and there are many affairs in the harem that need to be dealt with.

If this time comes, the Dong family will be promoted to become relatives in one fell swoop. Although it can help the third prince, Emperor Hongwen is afraid that his relatives will become big.

Therefore, he did not dare to decide what the result would be. If he failed to do this, he might lose the Dong family's hundreds of years of inheritance.

Then he could only write a letter back to tell the patriarch, those elders in the clan.

Calculating the time, I should be able to come back by letter today.

Sure enough, in the evening, the clan replied.

He hurriedly took the letter and went to the study. After reading it, Dong Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The letter stated that although the Dong family needs stability, they don't need to rely on gambling to make themselves stable.

There are many benefits to supporting the third prince, but it is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of exterminating your family.

He also said that the current situation of Dong's family is very good. There are people in the court, but they can't reach the point where the emperor is afraid. Can it be compared to being greedy?
Regarding the statement in the patriarch's letter, Dong Xiang still agrees quite a bit. The current situation of the Dong family is not bad, and it is still considered stable, so it is already very good.

Thinking about the four major families back then, there are only two left now.

The Luo family even lost a lot of things in order to protect themselves, but their Dong family became the biggest winner. There are many officials in the court, and he himself is deeply trusted by the emperor.

As long as the Dong family kept their duty, Emperor Hongwen would definitely not touch them.

In addition to the above content, the patriarch did not completely reject Dong Bin.

Just tell Xiang Dong to tell Concubine Dong that the third prince is still young, so don't worry about it, we'll talk about it when he grows up.

If it is a malleable talent, the Dong family will definitely support one or two.

Moreover, the third prince's current advantage is so obvious, so don't be too radical, just let nature take its course, if it is too radical, it may backfire.

The next day, Concubine Dong received a letter from Prime Minister Dong.

After reading it, she sat there for a long time without saying a word, and burned the letter after a while.

For Dong Xiang's persuasion, she obviously listened to it. Now that the advantage is so obvious, why bother to fight and make the emperor feel uncomfortable?
The left and right children are still young, let's take a look first.

She also didn't think about letting her son win the crown prince right now, she just wanted to see the Dong family's attitude.

Now the Dong family obviously wants to help them, this attitude is enough, and she can also have some confidence.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwen nodded after listening to Wang De's words, not surprised at all.

"It seems that the matter of the heir has to be put on the agenda, so as not to make some people think that they shouldn't have, and then harm others and themselves."

Now the last chance under his knee is the third prince. In the harem, there has been quite a lot of activity in Concubine Dong recently.

Many concubines who have no children now often go back to Concubine Dong to sit and enhance their relationship.

"Your Majesty, if this is revealed now, it will be bad, right?"

"Some things have to be tried first, don't they?"

"Recently, I always feel that I don't have enough energy, and I don't have the heart to deal with government affairs."

Since he planned to resign, many of his thoughts have faded away, and he would fantasize about his life after resigning from time to time.

Especially envious of the kind of life of Wanfu princess Lu Yaoyao.

In the past few years in this position, he couldn't get close to his children, because the emperor's words and deeds would always give the outside world a lot of guesswork.

He is also a person, and he also wants his children and grandchildren to be around his knees. He took the seat that should not belong to him by accident, and he has been sitting in it for so many years.

Others may think that the emperor is very comfortable, but he understands it.

Especially in the past few years, he couldn't grasp the real power at all, but he has grasped it in the past few years. At first, he still felt that it felt good.

But as time went by, he also felt the feeling of having power, just like that, with countless government affairs overwhelming him every day, and when the Northland was in chaos, he couldn't sleep or eat day and night.

Anyway, I have to pay it back, so why not return it early, so that I can enjoy the happiness early.

As a person around him, Wang De naturally noticed some changes in Emperor Hongwen early on.

"Well, go and get Xiang Dong."

Wang De stepped back in response.

Not long after, Dong Xiang came, still very puzzled, why did the emperor suddenly call him here?
"I have seen the emperor."

"Excuse me, come and sit here."

"I asked Aiqing to come here today, just to ask about some private matters."

Hearing this, Dong Lian hurriedly saluted, and then walked to the side and sat down.

"Aiqing, what do you think about Li Chu?"

As soon as this remark came out, Dong Xiang's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that it was not good. This must be because the emperor knew about his correspondence with Dong Concubine.

Even he got up quickly, cupped his hands and said in a panicked voice: "Your Majesty, I dare not have any thoughts."

"No need to be like this, sit down, I asked you to come here, there is no other meaning."

"Sooner or later, the crown prince will be established. It has been delayed for so long. Now I have fewer and fewer children under my knees. I don't want anyone to have any accidents because of this position."

"Aiqing, please tell me what you think."

Hearing this, Dong Xiang felt very bitter, what should he say?
"Your Majesty is in his prime of life, so there is no rush. The crown prince needs to grow up and be cultivated."

"Oh? How should I say, the candidate in Aiqing's heart is the third prince?"

As soon as these words came out, Dong Xiang fell to his knees, already sure in his heart that the emperor was beating him.

"I dare not."

This time Emperor Hongwen didn't ask him to get up, but said calmly; "The third prince is still young, I can't wait for him to grow up, but I have someone to choose, Aiqing, would you like to know?"

"Sir."

Can this thing think about it?No, but the emperor asked this, and he had to say it.

"Also ask the emperor to show you."

"King Jin."

Hearing these two words, Dong Xiang's heart trembled, but soon he stabilized his heart and began to think.

After a while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin is indeed good, both civil and military, and has a high reputation among the people, but I'm afraid this is a bit unreasonable."
