Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 541 Explosion! Zhu Di’s war propaganda!

At the junction of Fujian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is a mountain on which a tunnel is located.

A Jin Yiwei Qianhu wearing Feiyu uniform was playing with a walnut in one hand and pressing the hilt of the saber on his waist with the other.

A few gentry in luxurious clothes were working hard to fill the hole with earth.

There were several corpses placed in the pit.

A moment later, when the pit where the corpse was buried was filled up, several gentry came over wiping their sweat and said, "Zhao Qianhu, all the servants who buried the explosives in the tunnel have been eliminated. Now, only we know about this matter, Zhu Silang." If you die in this tunnel, no one will be able to hold us accountable!”

Zhao Qianhu looked at the few young gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who came forward to do this.

These people were all found by Gu Xuewen with help.

Zhao Qianhu nodded slightly, the corners of his lips moving slightly.

Just when I was about to speak.

rustling...

The sound of rapid footsteps came from the forest below the hillside.

Soon, a Jin Yiwei Baihu came to Zhao Qianhu panting.

Whispering...

Zhao Qianhu's brows gradually tightened.

Several young gentlemen who were already nervous and excited about assassinating Zhu Di saw this scene and looked at each other, feeling inexplicably more nervous.

……

blah blah blah...

In the rhythmic roar.

Zhu Di sat by the window and looked at the scene outside through the glass window.

Since it has arrived near the provincial border.

There are no more people along the railway line. Along the way, there are constant crowds of people welcoming people, so there is no need to draw the curtains.

He can more conveniently observe the railway built by Yanhua for the imperial court.

At a certain moment, the entire carriage was shrouded in darkness.

The train enters a tunnel.

After a while, bright sunlight shone into the car again.

Tie Xuan suppressed the worries in his heart and introduced with a smile: "Your Majesty, through this tunnel, you will enter the boundary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang..."

Boom!

Before Tie Xuan could finish his words, a violent roar suddenly came from the tunnel behind him.

The expressions of Tie Xuan and everyone in the carriage suddenly changed.

"master!"

"Shiro!"

"Is your lord okay?"

……

The entourage riding in other carriages rushed over in confusion.

Zhu Di, Tie Xuan, and Zhang Sanfeng opened the car windows, stuck their heads out, and looked at the billowing dust waves in the tunnel behind.

Tie Xuan's face turned pale.

Watching Zhu Di sit back in his seat, he remained silent and suggested: "Your Majesty, I would like to suggest that we stop moving forward temporarily."

He needs to deploy manpower!
Otherwise, something big will happen!

This has just entered the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions!
Zhu Di shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, do you think the explosion just now was a mistake?"

He doesn't think so.

Or, from the very beginning, this explosion was intended to give him a warning, and to take the lead in making the situation tense before he arrived at Aurous Hill.

Adding fuel to the conflict in Jinling.

Or, the other party really wants to blow up the tunnel to deal with him.

But for unknown reasons, the plan was temporarily changed.

Since the plan has been changed here, something must have happened that made the people behind the plan no longer dare to act rashly.

Then, next, the other party will not set up an ambush along the way.

Although Tie Xuan knew that Zhu Di's analysis was reasonable.

But he did not listen.

The train drove more than ten miles away from the tunnel and when it approached a county town, it was immediately ordered to stop.

At the same time, he notified the head of the train to open the way, took his official seal, and headed to Qiantang Mansion as quickly as possible to seek assistance from the two towns affiliated to King Zhou.

Taking the decision without authorization, the two towns of Zhou and Wang were asked to help control all key points in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and along the railway.

He also communicated with the chief envoys of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, invited the chief envoys of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the train, and asked the chief envoys of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to accompany him and escort Zhu Di back to Beijing.

……

Just when Tie Hyun arranged all this.

Behind, in the mountain forest of the collapsed tunnel.

Several confused gentry looked at Zhao Qianhu in confusion, "Zhao Qianhu, why don't you take action? The message from Gu Dong's family is that there are big shots in Jinling backing us and want us to blow up Zhu Silang!"

Zhao Qianhu looked at several gentry and explained: "I just received news that not only were the King of Yan Zhu Di and his party on the train, but also Tie Xuan, one of the leaders of the reformists, Zhang Sanfeng was also on the train. If these three people are all We cannot afford the impact if something goes wrong.”

He didn't want to get involved in this matter.

His immediate boss, Ji Gang, sent him a message asking him to make his own decision based on the situation.

What does it mean?
Just do it and you will be rewarded.

But if things go wrong, he will most likely be used as a scapegoat at a critical moment!

The collective response of various groups in Fujian.

Tie Xuan accompanied him.

He had long been afraid and didn't want to do it.

Zhang Sanfeng, a living god with great Taoist influence, personally escorted him.

Just gave him an excuse.

Now with this explosion, the deputy commander Ji Gang has been given an explanation, and the situation has been controlled within an acceptable range.

At the same time, it also helps the conservatives to make the situation tense.

Everything has been explained.

He believed that the deputy commander would definitely support his approach.

He knew that although the deputy commander intended to make friends with the powerful conservatives, he would never be willing to be a knife in the hands of the conservatives.

"Zhang Sanfeng!"

"I see!"

"This is good, this is good..."

……

Clang!
Just when a few gentry relaxed and muttered, Zhao Qianhu and Baihu who came to report the news drew their swords at the same time.

After a while, several gentry turned into corpses and lay on the ground.

Zhao Qianhu wiped the blood on the knife with the gentry's lapel.

Baihu asked: "Qianhu, what should we do with these people? Should we destroy their bodies and eliminate all traces of them?"

"Destroy the corpses and eliminate traces?" Zhao Qianhu looked at the several dead gentry and said with a joking smile: "Destroy the corpses and eliminate traces. How can we give Zhu Silang an explanation?"

"When such a big explosion occurs, even if the court is pretending, it will still be investigated."

"At that time, our colleagues in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will confiscate their homes and exterminate their families, and at the same time cut off the clues from Jinling. This explosion will be characterized as a desperate act by gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who are dissatisfied with the two ideals of King Yan and Zhu Di. Do something that is outrageous to both humans and gods!”

"Go to Jinling immediately and report this matter to the deputy commander. At the same time, please ask the deputy commander to inform the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions as soon as possible. Our colleagues in Jinyiwei will make this matter a solid case!"

Regarding this matter, it was Gu Xuewen, the son-in-law of the Shen family, who came forward to contact these gentry.

But he knew it very well.

This is the largest private industrial and commercial owner in Zhili.

Behind them stood many dignitaries of Jinling.

Gu Xuewen is just the white glove of these powerful people.

Behind this incident, top conservatives in Jinling must be involved.

Therefore, whether it is the deputy commander or the big shots hiding behind the scenes, they will never let the clues of this matter point to Jinling.

It can only be limited to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

On these unlucky guys!
……

Zhu Di was delayed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for two days.

After Tie Xuan arranged everything, he set off again.

However, this time there was an extra governor from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ma Quan, on the train!

The former Guanglu Shaoqing.

Father-in-law of Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen. Now, he has served as the chief envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the third largest tax-paying province in the imperial court, and is a third-rank official.

……

blah blah blah...

The rhythmic sound of collisions entered the carriage specially prepared by Tie Xuan for Zhu Di to work in.

In fact, it is a carriage exclusive to the Chief Envoy.

Ma Quan tremblingly sat across a table across from Zhu Di.

I cursed my mother in my heart.

Although he is considered a core member of the Falling Yan Alliance.

But he never thought that such a thing would happen!

Tie Xuan unceremoniously asked him to accompany this person back to the court. He was obviously taking his father, the grandson's concubine and a third-rank official of the imperial court, as a hostage to protect the person in front of him.

Of course he didn't want to get on this train of death.

But that bastard Tie Hyun directly stated that if he didn't do it, he would have something up his sleeve, and he would have reason to suspect that he was involved in the tunnel bombing.

Heaven and earth conscience.

He has no idea.

Moreover, even if you give him some courage, he would not dare to participate!
He sharpened his head, worked hard to become the core of the anti-Yan alliance, and tried his best to flatter Lu Ben, but it was just opportunistic, in order to advance further in the officialdom.

It turns out.

His choice was absolutely correct.

Soon after he was accepted by Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong and became a core member of the anti-Yan alliance.

His eldest daughter became the grandson's concubine.

The second daughter became the concubine of His Highness Yunwen.

In a short period of time, the Ma family became a prominent figure in the court.

Later, he was appointed as the chief envoy of the third rank.

It is also the province of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang were first surpassed by Fujian, and then three years ago by Zhili, which had rapid industrial development, it became the third largest tax-paying province in the Ming Dynasty.

However, Jiangsu and Zhejiang's position in the Ming Dynasty's fiscal and taxation system is still very prominent.

Although the ranking has dropped.

But in recent years, taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have doubled compared with the early years of Hongwu.

He can serve as the chief envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and the official of Xinjiang.

If it weren't for his two daughters and the status of core members of the Falling Yan Alliance, it would never have been his turn.

Of course, he can't compare with Tie Xuan and Lian Zining.

One is directly under the jurisdiction and the other is a demonstration area.

Both of them were second-grade political envoys.

Only half a level lower than the cabinet elders.

No matter how noble he is, he is nothing in front of this person!

As the chief envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This King of Yan almost died under his rule.

If he really wanted to pursue it, he would be unable to eat and walk around in circles.

……

Zhu Di personally made a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Ma Fang, "Try the Yunwu tea produced in Penglai Wushan. This is our specialty of Yanhua. Mr. Ma will help you taste it."

"Your Majesty has resigned." Ma Quan trembled and held up the tea cup with trembling hands.

The hot tea soup hits your mouth.

I felt nervous and scared, and I really couldn’t taste anything from the drink.

Zhu Di saw all Ma Quan's fear in his eyes and smiled, "Master Ma, if Yun Wen tries to challenge Xiongying in the future, as a father-in-law, with your palms and backs full of flesh, who will you support?"

Boom!

Ma Quan suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His hand shook violently, and hot tea spilled on the back of his hand. He didn't care, his face was pale, his eyes were trembling, and he looked at Zhu Di blankly.

Zhu Di said to himself: "Speaking of which, Xiaoqian is just the concubine of Xiongying, and the heirs she gave birth to will not be able to inherit the throne according to the imperial ancestral system of our Ming Dynasty. But your other daughter Ma Ru is different. Yunwen's principal concubine, if Yunwen takes that position, your grandson will be able to legitimately inherit the position left by our old man..."

Pfft!
Ma Quan couldn't sit still anymore and slid from the chair to the ground.

Kneeling on the ground, he kept kowtowing and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Xianguan, Xianguan... Xianguan doesn't have such big ambitions. I am very satisfied with my current achievements... Your Majesty... this... This is really the official's sincere words..."

The smile on Zhu Di's face faded, and he sat in an armchair, looking at Ma Quan with cold eyes.

He almost got bombed.

Gotta get something!
Over the years, Zhu Yunwen has been almost inseparable from his eldest brother.

In his opinion, this is not a good thing.

Next, when the eldest brother ascends the throne, Zhu Yunwen is very likely to challenge Xiongying.

As for the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen does have this ability.

Lu Ben is a representative figure of conservative forces.

As his grandson, Zhu Yunwen can indeed get the support of a large part of the conservative forces.

Of course, some conservatives will not support Zhu Yunwen.

Some people are conservative though.

But at the same time, they are also staunch supporters of establishing a direct line of succession.

In short, once the eldest brother takes the throne.

Zhu Yunwen does have the ability to challenge heroes.

Ma Quan served as the chief envoy of the third province.

He can hold a conservative attitude towards the two concepts, but he hopes that through this matter, this person will not dare to favor Zhu Yunwen.

After a while, Zhu Di stood up, walked around the table, personally helped the kowtowing horses up, and came to the fixed sofa placed on the left side of the carriage.

After sitting down, Zhu Di glanced at Ma Quan, who was sitting on the edge of the single sofa, and continued to say coldly: "Master Ma has a relationship with the hero, so there are some things that I am willing to talk to you through the skylight."

"I can tell Mr. Ma with certainty that if the Ming Dynasty throne is passed to Xiongying, it will be fine. If it were any other person, I will issue a war mobilization to Yanhua on the day I receive the news. I, Yanhua, will do my best. Raise the navy and army and fight back to the Central Plains!"

"Except for Xiongying, no one else in the Zhu family can hope to secure the throne of the Ming Dynasty, unless they are sure that they can compete with me, Zhu Di, for world supremacy!"

……

Ma Quan's face turned pale.

He didn't expect that this person would speak so directly and thoroughly!

"I know you have a conservative attitude towards the two concepts, which is okay. I also know that you are very close to Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong, but this is a big problem. In my opinion, Mr. Ma's butt is crooked. …”

"Yes, yes, your lord, I know what to do from now on." Ma Quan responded repeatedly.

Of course he didn't dare to tell anyone about the anti-Yan alliance.

After all, this matter is too fatal.

But he also made up his mind that from now on, while continuing to make excuses with Lu Ben and others, he would actively move closer to his grandson.

In short, at least in the fight for the crown prince position.

We must unswervingly support Taisun!
He knew that Lu Ben actually wanted Zhu Yunwen to replace Taisun.

He had even made a vague promise to him.

But now...

Go to hell Luben!
When the hero said directly, no one except Taisun Xiongying recognized the throne of Ming Dynasty.

Whoever dares to replace the hero on the throne will be killed by the navy and army to fight for dominance in the Central Plains.

If he chooses to support Zhu Yunwen again.

That's stupid!

"Master Ma, when the hero ascends the throne in the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely enter a period of rapid development, and will definitely support his children to go out like me."

"I can also promise that I will leave the best land in Shangzhou (America) for Xiaoqian and Xiongying's children, and Yanhua will give him all support!"

When Ma Quan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He knows Shangzhou!

If his grandson can get a piece of the most fertile land, he can also get industrial assistance and support from Yanhua.

Even if you don't become emperor in the Central Plains.

It is also a very good choice.

At this moment, he even had the urge to tell King Yan about the alliance that defeated Yan.

Do you want to say it?
