Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 290 Do you know His Royal Highness' painstaking efforts?
Shuntian Mansion, Chang'an Street, Hu Mansion.

Looking at this bustling street, Hu Huang didn't know whether he was right or wrong to come to Xinjing.

Thanks to his father's blessing, he entered the cabinet at the age of [-], which was considered as fulfilling his father's wish, and he was also relatively young among the members who entered the cabinet.

Originally, he was full of confidence, but today, this first meeting made him very disappointed.

He didn't know why Emperor Hongxi chose not to send troops. It was obvious that now was the best time. Once it was lost, it might not be available again in the future.

He didn't know why Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi were sure that King Wu's lineage would eventually rebel, so they took precautions against it.

He didn't know whether this Ming Dynasty, in which Emperor Yongle died less than half a year ago, was still the same Ming Dynasty when Emperor Yongle was in power.

"Brother, drink less." Hu Mu reached out and held down his brother's hand that wanted to pour another drink.

"You and I both know that the current His Majesty is no longer the former Emperor. The former Emperor aspired to open up new territories and fight all the wars for future generations, but the current His Majesty aims to recuperate and bring peace to the people."

"Besides, you can't find any reason to refute this matter."

Hu Huang listened to his brother's words, his eyes full of disappointment.

Yes, what reason does he have?

The late emperor passed away, and he has already been enshrined in the Nazi Palace, and he will enter the mausoleum only after all preparations are completed at the Changling Mausoleum.

Everything has been prepared, and Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi has also set a date to send the late emperor to the mausoleum on the tenth day of May.

This incident alone is enough to overthrow all Hu Huang's words.

I wonder if there is anything in this world that is more important than the funeral of the late emperor?

"Relax." Hu Mu patted his brother's shoulder with some emotion in his tone.

"Perhaps, you and I have both thought wrong, and Your Majesty is the one who thinks most right."

Hearing this, Hu Xu raised his head suddenly and stared at his brother.

However, facing his brother's gaze, Hu Mu was very calm.

"Brother, have you ever thought about why His Highness Prince Wu was in such a hurry and left Xiangzhou Mansion not long after the wedding to go to the Timur Empire thousands of miles away?"

"I know, we have discussed it before. Both you and I think it is to avoid suspicion and to give the late emperor final peace of mind." Feeling the change in his brother's eyes, Hu Mu interrupted what his brother wanted to say in advance. desire.

"But, brother, have you ever thought about it, is this really what His Highness Prince Wu thinks?"

Hu Huang's eyes slowly became dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hu Mu didn't care about his brother's changes, but kept talking to himself.

"I think we were all too narrow and utilitarian before. When thinking about things, we put everyone into the framework of doing things for profit."

"But think about it, if it's not for power or that position, then after hearing that the late emperor was seriously ill, he desperately left Xiangzhou Mansion and came to Shuntian Mansion just to see the late emperor. What?"

"Think about it again, if it wasn't for power, after learning that his father had left Xiangzhou Mansion and came to Shuntian Mansion, and knowing that his arrival would cause turmoil, what did His Highness the Prince of Wu do for?"

"Is there a possibility that His Highness King Wu came to Beijing just as a son and wanted to see his father one last time before he passed away?"

"Is it possible that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu came to the capital to meet his grandfather and to reassure his father, knowing that he would arouse suspicion from all parties and put his own safety at great risk?"

"If you think so, is it true that His Highness Prince Wu has entered the Timur Empire...?"

Before Hu Mu finished speaking, he turned to look at the busy street outside the door, and there was silence for a while.

Hu Huang's eyes were dull, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

say what?
Before, he had habitually linked people's behavior with interests. What's more, the prince's line and the King of Han's line had been so fiercely competing, and now they were even more neck-and-neck.

Therefore, he very subjectively believed that Zhu Zhanhe's expedition to the west at this time was just to avoid suspicion and to tell the world that he had the ability, but did not have the idea.

But now...

Zhu Zhanhe's Western Expedition made the Eastern Chagatai Khanate fearful, because the Syr Darya River where Zhu Zhanhe is now located can enter the Pamir Plateau as long as he goes east, and further east...

You can directly threaten the rear of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate through the ancient Silk Road.

If Zhu Zhanhe only went for the war as the world thought, then why did he stop moving forward after reaching the Syr Darya River and instead start asking people to inquire about information?
After listening to his brother's words, Hu Huang had a bold idea in his mind.

An idea that is moral but hardly humane.

……

Shuntian Mansion, Qingning Palace.

After dinner, Zhu Gaochi rarely went into the study to deal with government affairs. Instead, he came to the door of Fengtian Hall and sat on the steps next to the Danbi Stone.

Fengtian Hall, the former name of Huangji Hall, is its current name.

Looking at the empty Danchi in front of him, Zhu Gaochi was carrying a wine bottle with a worried expression on his face.

"father……"

A faint voice sounded, and Zhu Gaochi turned around and saw that his son was standing on the right side of Fengtian Hall, looking at him.

"Come here." Zhu Gaochi waved.

"Do you want to ask why Hu Xu's proposal was rejected by me today?"

Zhu Gaochi guessed his son's thoughts at a glance, because not only his son, but almost everyone in Wenhua Hall today had such thoughts.

Yes, Zhu Gaochi did veto Hu Huang's proposal to send troops to the grassland on the grounds that the late emperor was about to enter the mausoleum.

But in fact, this is very unexpected, and it is still expected by everyone.

Zhu Gaochi has always been known for his benevolence, and it seems that not sending troops is the most consistent with his personality, but in fact it is not.

When the King of Wu's lineage is trying hard to express themselves, he seems to be no weaker than others, at least prove that he is no worse than the King of Wu's lineage.

Moreover, the grassland can be said to be the late emperor's heart problem. If it can be solved, the benefits to Zhu Gaochi will be obvious.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi was the one who should support sending troops the most at this time, but he vetoed it.

No one understood it, including Zhu Zhanji.

"Zhanji, what did you see from what Hu Xu said today?" Zhu Gaochi returned his gaze to the Danchi in front of him and asked his son casually.

……

Zhu Zhanji didn't know how to answer for a while.

what did he seeI saw opportunities, I saw the future, I also saw...

His own cousin.
