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

Chapter 554 Zhu Biao, everything is not going well!
"Prince Yan is under house arrest by His Majesty!"

"What? Wang Dazui, what are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. What I said is true. When I was passing by the Huitong Hall after work, I happened to see the soldiers and horses led by the former prince's guards rush into the Huitong Hall and have a confrontation and dispute with King Yan's marines. Now the whole The Huitong Pavilion has been surrounded by the former Dong Palace Guards!"

"Why? Why did your Majesty do this? How kind King Yan is to our Ming Dynasty!"

……

"I know. I heard that the prince secretly placed someone next to King Yan very early. It's the commander of the Yanhua Navy who came back this time. Now this commander Xu wants to go to King Yan without the permission of King Yan. Dedicating Yanhua's sixteen armored ships and sixteen steam-powered supply ships to the imperial court, it is said that Commander Xu has been named Zhongyong Gong by His Majesty."

"Ah?! How could your Majesty do this?"

"No, isn't this repaying kindness with hatred? When Your Majesty was the crown prince, your reputation for benevolence and righteousness was far-reaching. Why did you do such an ungrateful thing just after you ascended the throne?"

"Just pretend!"

……

When the prince and the princess were children, they even hugged them personally.

"This!" Zhou Shixian's face was filled with unbelievable shock.

At this moment, we are still thinking of ways to resolve this conflict as gently as possible.

Squeak!

The news was incredible and spread like wildfire.

……

Fang Rui asked cautiously: "You haven't used the manpower of Taisunfei Comprehensive Commercial Company, right?"

A young man dressed as a merchant walked in.

Is this impossible?
"Brother Shixian thinks it's impossible?" Fang Rui smiled and shook his head: "The First Emperor was so wise and powerful, what happened to Fusu? How did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty treat his chosen prince?"

The compartment door opens.

Zhou Shixian shook his head modestly, "Director Fang, I have been doing business in Jinling City for several years. At the beginning, our Tuqiao Village business helped many people, and there are many people who, thinking of this friendship, are willing to help. Tell the people who were deceived the true information about what happened in the DPRK.”

And it spread throughout Jinling City at the fastest speed.

Although Zhou Shixian was not a student of the prince and princess.

Zhou Shixian shook his head, "How could it be possible? This would involve the grandson and concubine. If I really do this, if the prince finds out afterwards, he will beat me up."

But in the hearts of the prince and princess, it still holds great weight.

Fang Rui glanced at Zhou Shixian with envy.

He just borrowed the connections of General Zhou Lang's family and the eldest son in Jinling City.

Fang Rui waited for the young man opposite, finished the tea in the cup, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Brother Shixian is really amazing. In less than a day, Jinling City has become bustling."

The second director of the Military Intelligence Department, holding a tea cup, stared at the Huitong Pavilion in the distance, which had been surrounded by the former prince's guards.

Private room.

Fang Rui gathered his thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief, "This matter really shouldn't involve the grandson and concubine. We, the prince, are taking such a big risk and cooperating with the prince's drama to destroy the wealth that the prince has built up over the years as heir apparent." In fact, the main purpose is to protect the grandson."

Spreading outside the city and all over the world.

The window is open.

It is said that when the prince and princess were still in Tuqiao Village.

But at this moment, the entire top floor of Ming Dynasty was trying their best to press the lid.

"In the future, when the Ming Dynasty is under the rule of the new emperor Zhu Biao, the conflict between the conservatives and the reformists under his command will be very fierce, and the Taisun is likely to become the target of the conservatives against the reformists."

Sitting down opposite Fang Rui, panting, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

This time, he specially invited this Zhou Dongjia to come back.

"Can the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty be more powerful and wiser than these two?"

Even the reformist group led by Fang Xiaoru.

The conservatives are going all out to cooperate. After all, this is what they think about day and night.

Zhu Biao tried his best to control the news.

"Surrounded by people with ulterior motives, it may not be impossible for the prince to do something to dethrone the grandson, or endanger the life of the grandson."

Directly opposite the Huitong Hall is a street-side wine shop not far away.

"The relationship between father and son will probably get worse and worse."

Fang Rui explained with a smile, "In these years, the prince has not supported what the grandson has done. These collisions show that the new emperor and the grandson do not have the same ideals."

Zhou Shixian would personally drive the carriage for the prince and princess.

I heard that there was a lot of discussion outside.

"What about the future?"

Zhou Shixian looked at Fang Rui in shock and confusion.

The princess was pregnant with the prince and the princess, and she went to the city every time to find a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

"As soon as this incident came out, the reputation of benevolence and righteousness that the new emperor had accumulated while he was the crown prince was completely destroyed, and his golden body was smashed into pieces."

"How many times in his life can an emperor do something that is highly doubted by the world?"

Zhou Shixian nodded.

Even though he is not proficient in power struggle.

After Fang Rui peeled off the cocoon, he also understood.

The golden body he built for himself when he was the new crown prince has been smashed to pieces after this incident.

to be honest.

It's like doing business, your reputation is ruined.

Things like credibility and good reputation.

Once bankrupt.

It would be difficult to reshape it.

This is especially true for an emperor.

His reputation was ruined once.

If you do similar things in the future, you will be cautious and careful.

such as.

If in the future, the new emperor wants to depose his grandson or murder other Ming vassal kings, he must be cautious.

Over and over again, the people’s hearts and minds are gone.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power was different from that of Yanhua.

The majesty of the imperial power cannot withstand such a torment.

"Director Fang, doesn't that mean that the prince..." Zhou Shixian had a strange expression on his face.

Fang Rui obviously guessed what Zhou Shixian wanted to say.

He asked with a smile: "Brother Shixian wants to say, doesn't it mean that the prince is deliberately plotting against the new emperor?"

Zhou Shixian nodded honestly.

Somewhat embarrassing.

But this was indeed very different from the Mr. Zhu he knew.

Fang Rui shook his head.

He now knew why the prince and princess liked the old young master of the Zhou family who had a somewhat dull personality.

I'm afraid it's because of Zhou Shixian's character.

"Brother Shixian misunderstood the cause and effect of the problem. If the new emperor had not had ill intentions and placed Xu Xianchang beside the prince, and even if the new emperor had not asked Xu Xianchang to do this, how could the prince destroy the new emperor's golden body? What to say?”

"Brother Shixian may not know that Xu Xianchang has already been under the attention of the Military Intelligence Department and the Discipline Inspection Office, but we have never found any evidence before.

Under such circumstances, our prince allowed Xu Xianchang to command such an elite naval fleet. It can be said that even if Xu Xianchang was a member of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as long as Xu Xianchang did not do this, he would still be our Yanhua naval commander . "

"Hasn't the prince done enough?"

"But this new emperor, huh, at this moment, I'm afraid he is already thinking about sending troops to Yanhua after taking control of our Yanhua Navy!"

"It makes Director Fang laugh, I really can't do politics." Zhou Shixian laughed and scratched his head.

Yes.

Today the new emperor's golden body was smashed to pieces by the prince himself.

This reason lies in the new emperor.

He doesn't care about that either.

He was worried about the prince.

"Director Fang, what should we do next? The prince is now under house arrest in the Huitong Pavilion. How can we rescue the prince? Just by releasing the true news, let the people understand that the new emperor will not compromise. After all, he has bigger plans. "

"It is certainly not enough for the new emperor to give up halfway now. This new emperor has not yet reaped the benefits. He has not even fully mastered the naval fleet. However, his golden body has been broken. Moreover, he has already taken action, and his plan is bigger. The people know the truth. , Not enough for the new emperor to stop."

boom!
Fang Rui slapped the case fiercely, "It must be painful. He evaluates the pros and cons and realizes that if he continues, the losses will be huge, so he may be able to stop."

Not only did he sneak into Jinling City with hundreds of people.

Moreover, a batch of weapons was secretly transported in.

For example, a rifled, well-made, expensive flintlock gun!

He didn't mind and went on a killing spree in Jinling City.

of course.

He went on a killing spree, it must have been when the prince's safety in Jinling City was threatened and in danger.

In a killing spree.

Attracting the attention of the Ming court to him.

What really determines victory or defeat.

We still have to look at the secret fleet commanded by Ye Kai!
He was looking forward to it.

This one is more advanced.

Do not!
It can be said that this secret fleet is epoch-making in terms of design, construction, and technology.

He was particularly looking forward to this epoch-making fleet rushing into the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

Bombardment of forts along the river.

Rush to the gate of Jinling City.

The expressions and reactions of the new emperor and those conservatives.

"Director Fang, look! King Qin and the others!"

Fang Rui came back to his senses and looked in the direction of Zhou Shixian's finger.

In front of the Huitong Hall.

A group of vassal kings led by the King of Qin apparently had a dispute with the Crown Prince Wei Lv.

……

Huitong Pavilion.

The room where you stay. Xu Miaoyun, Wu Yunqige, Jindouzi, Qihua...

It's all here.

Qihua stood at the door and looked at Zhu Di. She stood at the door of the study and stared at the big tree in the courtyard that had just sprouted new buds. She was in a daze.

Turning around, he pouted and asked angrily: "Mother, why did uncle do this? I don't even recognize him now. Uncle was not like this before!"

Zhu Gaojie, whose nickname is Silver Douzi, was born from Golden Douzi, Bronze Peas and Wuyun Qige.

The three famous Zhu family members all looked at Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun hid her worries in her heart, looked at the four children, and taught with a smile: "Just imagine, from childhood to adulthood, you are all the best. What you do is the most powerful and outstanding, and You have been praised by everyone, but at some point, someone suddenly appears who is better than you. How do you feel?"

"Mother, I will be jealous..."

Yindouzi, who was just four years old, spoke immediately.

Wu Yunqige stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhu Gaojie's ear, "You can have envy. What's the point of being jealous? What's the use of being jealous? You can work hard on your own and use better people as examples for you to catch up with!"

Jin Douzi grinned and said: "Auntie, you pulled my ears and taught me a lesson since I was a child. Now it's over. It's finally your son's turn to suffer this."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and glared at Jindouzi.

Looking at the four children, he continued: "This is why your uncle has changed."

Big brother is very stable.

He is also very tolerant.

He waited until his father and mother passed away before taking action.

have to say.

The ability of the eldest brother rests on the princes of all dynasties.

Such as Li Jiancheng, Li Chengqian...

I'm afraid, history is different from what everyone sees now.

"The fourth child, the fourth child..."

At this moment, angry shouts came from outside.

Xu Miaoyun and Wu Yunqige got up and came out with the children.

He saw Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan walking in quickly.

They said a few words to each other.

Zhu Di took the two of them to the study.

Yong Ming has been following Zhu Di.

Xu Miaoyun made tea herself, closed the door and left, and the study fell into silence.

Zhu Di laughed at himself, "Second brother, third brother, don't laugh at me. Miaoyun made such a fuss. After what happened, she had to do it herself for everything I put in my mouth..."

"Shut up!"

Zhu Ming glared and scolded angrily. The hand holding the tea cup trembled with anger. He was angry and funny at the same time. He scolded with a smile: "It's so urgent. Do you still have the intention to show off your love as a couple in front of me and your third brother?"

Zhu Di smiled.

The tense and angry atmosphere around Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan was also diluted a lot.

Zhu Xi put down the teacup.

He said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, your third brother and I are here to inform you..."

Immediately, Zhu Xi sent him an order to Yao Guangxiao from Beiping to lead his troops southward. At the same time, the kings made a feint plan to contain the local forces of the Ming Dynasty, and told Zhu Di in detail.

Zhu Di was very moved. After hearing this, he shook his head and said solemnly: "Second brother, you can't do this."

"Even if, at this time, we push Xiongying to that position in this way, and we take all the blame, yes, this can block the mouths of the world, but we can be sure that Xiongying can survive on his own. The level in your own heart?”

"With this heavy burden of forcing his father to take the throne, weighing on Xiongying's heart, will it crush Xiongying? Will it cause a major change in the personality of the most capable third-generation heir of our old Zhu family?"

"Will he become another big brother?"

"My elder brother has become like this. In fact, it has nothing to do with me. Of course, even if this is true, I will not feel any guilt because of it."

It can't be possible, he has already left the Ming Dynasty.

You have to keep a low profile, right?
After all.

The eldest brother is still not strong enough in his heart.

Historically, the eldest brother was eventually crushed by his father's harsh demands.

Unexpectedly, he changed history.

The eldest brother became the emperor.

His character was crushed.

He was at the door of the study just now, and he kept thinking whether his eldest brother died of illness in the 27th year of Hongwu, as happened in history.

What's better?
At least, it can leave a wise chapter in the history of future generations.

I will leave him behind, and future generations will feel sorry for my eldest brother.

of course.

The current eldest brother is also a qualified emperor.

for what he did.

That's what an emperor should do.

It's just that the current eldest brother is less benevolent and more unscrupulous in his actions.

"Don't worry, we have suspected Xu Xianchang for a long time. When we come back this time, we are just following the trend..."

Zhu Di did not hide his plans from Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan.

"At this moment, off the coast of Songjiangkou, a more powerful and advanced fleet is cruising downstream under the commander-in-chief of Ye Cheng's son, Ye Kai. As long as the news is received, this fleet will rush into Songjiangkou, even if it is If we start a war, we will reach the gates of Jinling City!”

Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan looked at each other in shock.

……

After a long time.

The two of them came out of the Huitong Hall under Zhu Di's instructions.

"Second brother, how is fourth brother?"

"Second brother, let's go find eldest brother. If eldest brother wants fourth brother's fleet, we can give it to him, but eldest brother must let fourth brother return to Yanhua, otherwise, I will turn against him!"

……

"Shut up!" Zhu Xi kicked the thirteenth old Zhu Gui in the leg, glared fiercely, and then sternly warned all the brothers, "Go back to your house and stay with me. If anyone dares to act nonsense again, I will break your legs. Don’t forget, before his death, my father appointed me as the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion!”

After driving away a group of brothers.

Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan got into the same carriage.

now.

it's getting dark.

Through the street lights.

Zhu Fang looked at Huitong Pavilion, which was getting farther and farther away.

At a certain moment, he turned around and sighed: "The fourth child took the risk and took advantage of the situation to destroy the golden body of the eldest brother. It is for the heroes and for us!"

"I hope that after the fourth child's counterattack begins, the elder brother will stop when it hurts. If he goes crazy and wants to destroy the boat, don't blame me for falling out with him!"

Zhu Fan said nothing.

He just clenched his fists and nodded.

Although the fourth child just said that he wanted to be a hero and break the golden body of his elder brother.

But they are not fools.

How could we not know that this time, the fourth child was not just for the hero.

And for the brothers.

……

Royal study room.

Zhu Biao couldn't sit still.

Standing at the door of the study and looking around.

Song Sansi came in a hurry, panting. As soon as he got close, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Xu Xianchang hasn't convinced those Yanhua naval generals yet?"

Song Sansi looked at Zhu Biao's eager expression, sighed quietly, and shook his head, "Except for a few people who have been following Xu Xianchang, everyone else did not let go. In addition..."

Zhu Biao frowned: "Say!"

"Your Majesty..." Song Sansi hesitated: "The news just came back from downstream that three Yanhua merchant ships were sunk, and the remaining merchant ships all rushed out of Songjiangkou."

"What are the forts doing for food?" Zhu Biao suddenly became furious.

The news is out!
Song Sansi's mouth was full of bitterness.

In the final analysis, it was the lack of training at the forts along the way that resulted in poor artillery skills.

Song Sansi hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty, if these merchant ships want to rush back to Yanhua, even if they go to Jilong Island, at the speed of hybrid merchant ships, it will take at least a month. The court still has a month."

Zhu Biao took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety and anger.

This matter was not going well from the beginning.

In front of him, Lao Si proposed that Yanhua break off diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty.

He even threatened war.

Later also...

"Go and urge Xu Xianchang. Three days. Within three days, we must control this navy. At the same time, make two preparations. Transfer the court's sailors to the ships. Let Xu Xianchang's confidants teach our sailors first. Get to know the ship.”

"Yes!"

Song Sansi took the order and left in a hurry.

Walking down the stairs, when I met Ji Gang, I didn't even bother to say hello.

Ji Gang trotted all the way to Zhu Biao's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, today the King of Qin is the leader. After the kings forced their way out of the hall, did they declare on behalf of the king that they would rebel?"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"I know, keep an eye on the kings. As long as they don't take actual actions and just talk, let them talk for the time being. It's for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. They will always understand."

……

Outside Songjiangkou.

The sea was pitch black.

Dozens of merchant ships galloped away from the pursuit of the Ming Navy.

While running wildly, he blew the horn on the dark night sea, hoping to attract the attention of the reconnaissance ship sent by Ye Kai.
