I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 78 Poison Strategy!Sapphire's reaction!

Liang Guo Gongfu.

Although it is located in Jinling City, where land is at a premium, this mansion still occupies a large area.

It takes about half an hour to walk from the east end to the west end of the three streets.

Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, is a prestigious existence in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, the King of Kaiping often encountered spring, the kings of Zhongshan County, Xu Da, died one after another, and Tang He retired and returned to his hometown. Lan Yu's prestige in the army was at its peak, and he was vaguely ranked as the No. 1 in the army.

On weekdays, the streets in front of Duke Liang's Mansion are quite busy, with countless people coming in and out.

After all, the nobles in the court, headed by Lan Yu, naturally had a lot of contacts.

But ever since Lan Yu was slapped and reprimanded sternly by Zhu Yunxi, Liangguo Mansion closed its doors to welcome guests and did not interact with the outside world, and the streets in front of the mansion also became clean.

Today, there was a small sedan chair that landed directly in front of Liang Guogong's mansion.

Huang Zicheng got off the sedan chair, and the waiters at the side immediately stepped forward and knocked on the closed gate of the Duke of Liang's mansion.

With a "swipe", the door opened a crack, and a head poked out from inside.

Glancing at the people outside, he said: "My master closed the door to thank the guests. We don't see outsiders. Please come back."

"I'm Huang Zicheng, Minister of Dali Temple. Please inform Liang Guogong, and I have something important to discuss." Huang Zicheng bowed his hands.

"It turns out to be Master Huang, the Minister of Dali Temple." The man hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The Minister of Dali Temple is one of the Nine Ministers and is an important minister in the court. Of course he does not dare to neglect him.

But the salutation was back to the salute, but he repeatedly refused: "Master Huang, it must be a villain who did not report. In fact, the Duke of Liang had ordered it a long time ago. If there is no imperial edict, you should not see outsiders. Your Excellency, please go back."

Huang Zicheng glared at him, and said: "It's not that I don't know about Liang Guogong's closing the door to thank guests. But today's coming here involves the establishment of a reserve. You can't afford it either."

Seeing his sharp tone, the doorman thought for a while, then turned his head and reported to the inside.

After a while, he opened the door again and said, "Master Huang, Duke Liang has invited you."

Huang Zicheng stepped in.

Although Lan Yu thanked the guests behind closed doors, he had already made up his mind and knew that the other party would definitely meet him.

In the lobby of the mansion, both the host and the guest were seated, and Lan Yu said, "Your Majesty has his own decision on the establishment of the crown prince, and it's not up to the courtiers to speak nonsense. Mr. Huang is here, if you have nothing else to do, just take a sip of thin tea, and then please go."

As the head of the nobility, he has never had anything to do with the civil officials in the court.

It's just that Huang Zicheng is the minister of Dali Temple and has a very high reputation among the scholars, so he just met him and gave him some face.

That's it too.

Fortunately, Huang Zicheng is not a nobleman, nor is he a general in the central army, otherwise, Lan Yu would never have seen him.

Huang Zicheng laughed out loud.

"Duke Liang has always acted freely and freely, but he has become so cautious now."

"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

Lan Yu glared at him, and said: "As a civil servant, you are supposed to talk about things, so naturally you don't need to be scruples. But this general has led the army for many years, and he only knows how to lead the army and fight on the battlefield. He doesn't know the important affairs of the court, so he dare not say more."

After being scolded by Zhu Yunxi, he really thought through a lot of things, and he also understood that he could no longer be as unscrupulous as before.

Huang Zicheng picked up the teacup, opened the lid, and blew lightly. When the tea was a little colder, he took a sip, put down the cup, and said, "Mr. It's because I haven't been idle all day, and I want to support King Wu as the heir apparent."

Suddenly, two rays of light shot out from Sapphire's eyes.

Although he thanked guests behind closed doors, Zhu Yuanzhang still knew about the three emperors' grandsons being crowned kings.

Lao Zhu's arrangement makes it clear that the candidate for the crown prince will be born among the three of them, but the person has not been decided yet.

As a result, those nobles are naturally ready to move.

Honorary officials are different from civil servants.

Civil servants always look forward and backward when doing things, and think a lot.

But most of Xungui were military generals, and they dared to fight.

In their view, they supported Lao Zhu as emperor in the previous wars, and they had the merit of following the dragon.

Now it is only natural to support Lao Zhu's descendants to inherit the throne.

Among the three grandsons of the emperor, Zhu Yunxi was the son of Zhu Biao and the daughter of Chang Yuchun, so he was naturally favored by military generals.

Speaking of which, Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yunxuan are also considered as legitimate sons.

why?

The Lu family was originally Zhu Biao's second concubine, and the main concubine was Chang Yuchun's daughter Chang.

However, Mrs. Chang died long ago.

Lao Zhu has issued an order to right Lu's family.

In this way, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxu are naturally regarded as legitimate sons.

However, in the eyes of those generals who support Zhu Yunxi, Xungui, they are nothing like this, Zhu Yunxi is the real legitimate son.

"King Wu is your nephew and grandson. If you intend to embrace him as the crown prince, it is a matter of course."

Huang Zicheng said softly.

He was right.

Before that, Lan Yu did intend to let Zhu Yunxi inherit the throne.

In his opinion, this is what it should be.

After all, Zhu Yunxi is Zhu Biao's real son.

It's my own relatives again, who can I hug if I don't hug him?

But after being beaten and scolded by Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu figured it out.

Lao Zhu will never allow outsiders to take power and endanger the imperial power.

If Zhu Yunxi is really established as the crown prince, then the end of his life will come.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could kill Mrs. Gou Yi, Lao Zhu would also kill him.

After understanding this point, he no longer had the slightest interest in Zhu Yunxi's succession to the throne.

Hearing what Huang Zicheng said at this moment, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said, "Is the crown prince worthy of support by a courtier? Master Huang's words have gone beyond the mark."

"If you dare to say more, don't blame me for writing a letter to Your Majesty. Sir Shen has a disobedient heart."

Huang Zicheng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again.

"Liangguo's words are serious."

"It's just that Duke Liang has no intention, but others may not think so!"

Lan Yu said: "I stay behind closed doors in the mansion, so who cares what other people think?"

Huang Zicheng laughed and said, "That's a bad statement. Did Duke Liang ever hear that, "Everyone's mouth shines like gold, but their accumulation is like a waste of bones."

"Duke Liang is in the bureau, so who would believe him if he said that he is not stained with dust?"

Lan Yu's face slowly darkened.

"I'm a rough person. Mr. Huang has said so many things in a roundabout way, but I can't always understand them. If you have any advice, you might as well just say it."

"Okay!" Huang Zicheng nodded, and said: "Although Your Majesty established three kings at the same time, Duke Liang must be very clear about who he wants to be the heir apparent."

Sapphire nodded slightly.

Of course he could see that Lao Zhu's choice for the crown prince was the Southern King Zhu Yunxian.

Otherwise, he would not be named King of the South.

However, Zhu Yunxi is indeed extremely intelligent.

From Lan Yu's point of view, it is indeed the best candidate for him to inherit the throne.

As for the rules about establishing direct descendants rather than concubines, and establishing elders rather than virtuous people, let them go to hell.

I started a rebellion just to break the rules.

Huang Zicheng observed the situation and saw that Lan Yu did not object, so he continued: "Although Your Majesty thinks so, the current situation may not be as Your Majesty intended."

"The civil servants in the court prefer Prince Heng more, and you must know that."

"The generals in the army, the state Qi Xungui, hope that the King of Wu will inherit the great order."

"On the contrary, it is His Majesty's favorite Southern King. He is alone and alone, with no one to support him."

Lan Yu narrowed her eyes and said, "What does Master Huang mean?"

Huang Zicheng said with a smile: "The Duke of Liang is loyal to the country, serves the public good, and does not show favoritism. I admire him very much!"

"However, His Majesty does not know the heart of Duke Liang, nor do the soldiers in the army. It is hidden in the heart, so how can outsiders not misunderstand it?"

"If you don't speak out, the generals in the army and the nobles in the court will think that you support the King of Wu and want to make him the crown prince. After all, you and the King of Wu are relatives."

Lan Yu hurriedly said: "Heaven and earth are above, I, Lan Yu, have absolutely no such intentions."

Huang Zicheng said: "It's not that I don't believe you, but that the world has trouble believing you."

He paused and said: "The old man has an idea, so that His Majesty and the honorable court officials will no longer doubt you."

Lan Yu asked: "Master Huang, please make it clear."

Huang Zicheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and then said: "The meaning in your Majesty's heart is as clear as the sun and the moon."

"As a subject, we eat the king's salary and bear the king's worries."

"Why don't you, Duke Liang, write to your majesty, asking you to make King Nan your crown prince?"

"Your Majesty is worrying about this matter. The Duke of Liang has written a letter, and the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty will be moved upon hearing the news."

"In this way, Duke Liang can not only clear his own suspicions, express his feelings to the nobles of the court and the generals, but also use the Holy Heart to relieve His Majesty's worries. Why not do it?"

He earnestly induces.

When Lan Yu heard the words, her eyes lit up immediately, she slapped her thigh and said: "Master Huang is right, why didn't I think of it? I will write a letter right away, asking Your Majesty to make King Nan the heir apparent."

He was overjoyed.

At the corner of Huang Zicheng's mouth, there was an imperceptible sinister sneer, in which there was a hint of disdain and a bit of complacency.
