Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 274 The Chaotic Suncheon

Preparing for the worst, Zhu Zhanhe tried his best to explain everything that needed to be explained, and then set off for Beijing when the chrysanthemums were in bloom at their most beautiful.

Regarding his decision, Zhu Zhanhe's rationality told him that it was a wrong decision, while his sensibility told Zhu Zhanhe that even if it was a mistake, he should go ahead.

Zhu Zhanhe has always been considered a rational person. Even when he faced the old man's big pie, he was still rational enough. He first had a showdown with the old man, and then persuaded his father to give up everything and join the feudal clan.

Therefore, he has achieved the brilliant results he has today.

But this time, his rationality failed to suppress his sensibility, because Zhu Zhanhe knew very well that this was very likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you miss it, will you regret it in the future?Zhu Zhanhe didn't know, but he knew one thing, that is, if he missed it this time, there would be no chance to make up for it.

However, Zhu Zhanhe's entry into Beijing, and his entry into Beijing at this juncture, never affected only him.

Shuntian Mansion, the Imperial Palace.

As the new capital of the Ming Dynasty, Shuntian Mansion was more prosperous than Yingtian Mansion, and the construction of the city and other aspects was also better than Yingtian Mansion.

The palace is naturally the same.

As the counterpart of Qingning Palace to Chunhe Palace of Yingtian Palace, it is not only larger and more majestic, but also has far more comprehensive facilities than Yingtian Palace.

In the Wenhua Hall of Qingning Palace, Zhu Gaochi was sitting on the throne of the prince, with a group of civil servants standing below.

Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu and Yang Rong, the three ministers of the cabinet, the six ministers, and other confidential ministers are all here, and everyone has a solemn expression on their face.

No, one person is not here: Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Everyone knows that Xia Yuanji and the Crown Prince of Wu are very close, because from the eighth year of Yongle to the present, most of the gains in the Ming treasury are related to the Crown Prince of Wu.

From the confiscation of the war, the silver mountains of the Japanese kingdom, and even the current taxation of the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is related to money, there are almost everywhere the shadow of the prince of Wu.

Although the Ming Dynasty's treasury is not full now, without Zhu Zhanhe, the Ming Dynasty's finances would probably still be as worried as before.

Except for what is used as a guarantee, there will be almost no money left.

And Xia Yuanji always only cares about money.

Therefore, during this meeting in the Wenhua Hall of Qingning Palace, almost all the important ministers were present, except for Xia Yuanji.

"Your Highness, you must be on guard..."

Seeing that no one spoke, Yang Pu looked at Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi beside him, and finally stood up first.

"Prince Wu's entry into the capital will definitely cause chaos!"

"Although it is reasonable for him to enter the capital this time, and the Crown Prince's escort with two guards can be said to be for safety, but if nothing unexpected happens, there is also movement in the Japanese country!"

"What kind of people are those people from the Wa Kingdom? Your Highness, you know better than us. Once King Wu enters the capital, there will be more than 1 people in the two guards, plus Qian Yong from the Wa Kingdom..."

"That's wrong." Yang Rong stood up and interrupted Yang Pu's words.

"I let it slip, there's also North Korea."

……

The Wenhua Palace fell into a suffocating silence.

Yes, and North Korea.

In the early spring of last year, King Lee Fang-won of Joseon passed away in the royal palace of Joseon. His eldest son, the eldest son of the Joseon Dynasty, Lee Bong, succeeded to the throne.

Let me ask, who doesn’t know that Li Zong was once deposed?Who doesn't know that it was with the support of Zhu Zhanhe that Li Zhen regained the position of prince and then ascended to the throne?

Although Zhu Zhanhe has mostly lived in Xiangzhou Prefecture and the Sultan of Delhi in recent years, and last year he sent troops to the west to attack the Timurid Empire, and had very little communication with North Korea, but after all, there is Qian Yong in the Wa Kingdom.

If the Ming Dynasty changes suddenly, who will Li Zhen, the new king of Korea, help?No one can know.

But in the eyes of Yang Rong and others, Li Zhen was able to sit on the throne only because of Zhu Zhanhe's help. Whether it was out of repayment or fear of Zhu Zhanhe's reputation, it was natural to help Zhu Zhanhe. matter.

Today, the imperial court has just ended the war with the Jianzhou rebels. Although the current capital Shuntian Mansion is close to the Great Wall and it is convenient to mobilize troops, no one dares to say that they can win against Zhu Zhanhe.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

These two years... no, not just these two years, Zhu Zhanhe became famous five years ago, and even earned the title of the God of Killing for his cruelty.

Such an enemy is still a member of the Zhu royal family, and especially has the support of military commanders...

Yang Rong didn't dare to think about it.

"You...all think so?"

After a long silence, Zhu Gaochi finally spoke, and his words cheered up Yang Rong and others.

Because, from the sound of Yang Rong and others, Zhu Gaochi was already a little moved. As long as he and others worked harder, what they thought might not be a problem.

"Your Highness..."

Yang Pu just wanted to speak, but...

"Pass down the order to make the Beiwa army ready in Weihaiwei, and the others..."

Zhu Gaochi stood up and glanced at Yang Rong and everyone else. His words had some power that he didn't have before.

"as usual!"

Yang Pu and others were startled when they heard this and were about to speak to dissuade them, but Zhu Gaochi didn't give them a chance and turned around and left.

Yang Pu and the others looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

In their view, Zhu Gaochi's behavior was a bit too irrational.

For the court, or should I say, for them, Prince Wu is a scourge after all. The sooner it is resolved, the sooner it will be at ease.

In this world, there are actually different opinions on any issue, and it is impossible for any issue to be agreed upon by everyone.

This time, too.

……

Tongzhou, along the Wei River and into the canal, Zhu Zhanhe got off the boat at Tongzhou Pier and looked at this place he had been to once before.

Back then, Shuntian Mansion was used as the base when the old man went north to conquer the grasslands. At that time, Zhu Zhanhe came here once, but the current Shuntian Mansion is far from being comparable to that at that time.

"His Royal Highness, long time no see."

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe get off the boat, Xia Yuanji was the first to greet him.

Last time, he didn't get the edict to enter the palace, but not getting the edict doesn't mean that he didn't know about it.

On the contrary, not getting the edict may not be a good thing for him.

"Xia Shangshu, you..." Looking at Xia Yuanji, whom he had not seen for five years, Zhu Zhanhe felt a little emotional.

After five years, Xia Yuanji has aged a lot.

But yes, Xia Yuanji is 57 years old this year, and he is already reaching his sixties. Old age is the most normal thing.

After all, although Xia Yuanji is the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty, that is just a joke.

In this world, who is not human in nature?

"His Royal Highness, it's better not to hurt Weizhe's heart. It's good to know some things. Why do you have to tell them?"

Xia Yuanji joked and relaxed the atmosphere.

However, this is only temporary.

"His Royal Highness." Seeing Zhu Zhanhe sighing, Xia Yuanji put away the smile on his face.

Some things are more important than teasing him.

"There are no surprises in this trip..."

Seeing the prince's guards waiting in full force around him, although Xia Yuanji already knew the outcome of the matter, he still couldn't help asking.

"Don't you know everything?" Zhu Zhanhe smiled.

Although he had already guessed, from Xia Yuanji's words, Zhu Zhanhe determined the reason why those Ming ships appeared when he passed through the Miaodao Islands.

Sure enough, although his uncle wouldn't take the initiative to attack, it didn't mean he wouldn't take precautions.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Seeing that Xia Yuanji was about to speak, Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand and interrupted Xia Yuanji.

"How is grandpa?"

……

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area immediately became quiet.

"Alas..." Xia Yuanji sighed softly.

……

On the way to Shuntian Palace, Zhu Zhanhe learned from Xia Yuanji what the current state of Shuntian Palace was like.

In fact, it was quite good before. Although the old man couldn't afford to fall ill, he was still alive after all. In addition, Zhu Gaochi had many experiences of supervising the country's governance, and the Ming Dynasty's government did not change much because of this.

The only difference is that the deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty now has almost all the power. If the old man gets better, this situation will continue until the old man dies.

Later, when the old man's condition worsened, the imperial doctor bluntly said that he could only try his best. By that time, everyone knew the result.

Then, Zhu Gaoxu came.

With the arrival of the former King of Han, Shuntian Mansion was slightly chaotic, but it returned to normal almost instantly.

The current Zhu Gaoxu is no longer compared to the previous Zhu Gaoxu. In Daming, his influence is far less than that of his son.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu's move to come to Shuntian Mansion may seem irrational, but in fact it is the most rational approach.

He is the second son of the current emperor, so he should come due to circumstances and reasons.

The most important thing is that he is the King of Wu after all, the father of Zhu Zhanhe, Zhu Zhanqi and others. His arrival is enough to represent the entire King of Wu lineage.

In other words, Zhu Zhanhe didn't actually come.

However, no one expected that Zhu Zhanhe, who was always decisive, calm and rational, would be so irrational this time.

Even Xia Yuanji told Zhu Zhanhe in an extremely tactful way between the lines that he should not come.

However, Zhu Zhanhe laughed off Xia Yuanji's reminder.

Now he has actually let go. Once he does anything, he will not regret it.

For example, when he set fire to the mountains in Annan, he knew that many people in northern Annan were Han Chinese and had migrated there in the early days.

Even earlier, when he decided to have a showdown with the old man, he had learned this.

The carriage suddenly stopped, Zhu Zhanhe was stunned for a moment, and then turned to the right thoughtfully.

It seems that it has arrived.

"Your Highness, I can't accompany you from now on." Beside the carriage, Xia Yuanji's face was solemn. He was the last person who wanted to see this scene today.

"Your Highness, please take this seriously."

click, click, click...

The hoof hit the ground, making a crisp sound, but it drifted away.

The prince's guard driving the carriage opened the curtain of the carriage, Zhu Zhanhe bent down and walked out, stepping on the ground with the help of the prince's guard.

squeak……

Different from the friction sound when the door is opened normally, the friction sound when the Daming door is opened is heavy, and it makes people feel that the internal organs are vibrating along with it.

Zhu Zhanhe adjusted his Tuanlong uniform and looked up at the south gate of Shuntian Palace.

Opening the Daming Gate instead of letting him enter through the left gate of Chang'an shows that his every move is under the watchful eye of others.

With a carefree smile, Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand, signaling the crown prince's guards to stay put, and just led Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping towards the Daming Gate.

"His Royal Highness Prince Wu, enter the palace to have an audience!"

"His Royal Highness, Prince Wu, comes to the palace to pay homage."

"His Royal Highness, Prince Wu, comes to the palace to pay an audience..."
