Chapter 123 Lao Zhu is in trouble
Hu Weiyong still thought very beautifully.

He hoped that eventually the imperial court would send someone to Lingnan.

Let's not talk about picking peaches!

However, with so much wealth, you can always make some money.

It would be even better if his people could come to Lingnan and become governors or something like that!

It's beautiful to imagine.

Of course, Hu Weiyong also had imagination about the cruelty of power struggle.

In fact, he didn't really want to break up with Zhu Xi.

Therefore, Hu Weiyong and Zhu Xi went to war.

But he disagreed and withdrew King Qin's vassal at this time!
why?

Since ancient times, power struggles have been bloody.

Didn’t you see that when the Tang Dynasty was founded, it was just like the Ming Dynasty now? Then the Xuanwu Gate Incident broke out, and Li Shimin killed his brother and his enemies in order to gain power?
There is also Zhao Kuangyi of the Song Dynasty, the shadow of the candle and the sound of the axe!
If at this time, in Lingnan, the court wanted to withdraw King Qin's title, it would force King Qin to start an uprising on the spot.

Moreover, he didn't have to fight all the way to Aurous Hill.

When King Qin's army comes in, the emperor, queen, and all the civil and military officials will be under his control.

Then let alone the position of prince.

Maybe the throne needs to be replaced!

Naturally, Hu Weiyong could not let such a scene happen.

But actually?
Did Zhu Yuanzhang really want to abolish Zhu Xiang?
In the evening, Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang washed their feet together.

Queen Ma has big feet, so she is also known as Horse Big Foot.

But Zhu Yuanzhang never disliked it.

The poor and humble couple have come all the way and gone through countless ups and downs before they are where they are today.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always had the tradition of washing and soaking his feet with Queen Ma at night.

At this time, the husband and wife wash their feet together and chat together.

Queen Ma said: "Today, I lost my bet with Ping'er."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously: "What are you betting on?"

"It's the dress I made for Meng'er. He said it could be sold for more than 10 taels, but I didn't believe it..." Empress Ma said with a smile: "In the end, I, as a mother, am not as knowledgeable as him. ”

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!"

Zhu Yuanzhang comforted him: "You don't have to take it to heart. Moreover, no matter how much he stirs up, isn't he still the child coming out of your belly? By the way, since it is a bet, there must be a bet. What did you lose to him?" The current King of Qin is rich all over the world! My treasury is not as rich as his, so I would like to hear what he wants from you, my queen."

"Be filial."

Empress Ma pursed her lips and smiled and said: "He wants me to come to Lingnan to live for a month after the wedding. At that time, he promises to provide pick-up and drop-off services, and I can come from Jinling to Lingnan in about a day."

"This is not possible!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said with a straight face: "You have come to Lingnan, what will you do in the palace? The three palaces and six courtyards have to be taken care of by you, the queen! Otherwise, those concubines will not be able to take care of them. Is there a big quarrel?”

"Why, can't you control your little wives without me?"

Empress Ma said angrily: "They say it's in my care, but in fact it doesn't matter what you, the emperor, say? Besides, I am the empress and I have already agreed to Ping'er's affairs. Do you want me to regret it?"

"Okay, one month is enough, but one more day won't do!" Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless and suddenly took Queen Ma's hand and said, "Queen, there is something in my heart..."

"But the boss's illness?" Queen Ma asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

In fact, what weighed on his heart was not only Zhu Biao's illness, but also the sorrow of having to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person in the future.There is also the issue related to the succession of the country.

Originally, Zhu Biao would not die for more than ten years, and his son would have grown up by then.

But now...

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "When I came to see the prince this time, he was indeed ill and looked much weaker. Chen'er said that he had some powerful doctors under his command, but he could only keep the prince in Lingnan every day. He will continue to receive treatment every day to alleviate the onset of his condition. As a result, he will no longer be able to hold the position of prince."

"Then what exactly is the emperor planning to do?"

Empress Ma said: "The position of the East Palace is the foundation of the country. Although I am a womanly person, I shouldn't talk too much, but I think..."

"The prince is seriously ill, but he is the eldest son after all. I, the eldest son of Zhu, can't do it, but I still have an eldest grandson! It's just... that baby is still too young." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "If we establish the emperor's grandson, I'm afraid that the whole court will Everyone will object."

The resistance is too great!
The officials will not be happy.

Moreover, the vassal kings would not be happy either.

Is the boss that good?

He is your son, aren’t the rest of us?

Why do you still want to establish a son for me even though I can no longer do it?

Even the eldest son’s son is less than one year old…

Of course, civil and military officials will also give advice.

How can an emperor who is less than one year old be able to handle government affairs?
If something unexpected happens to Zhu Yuanzhang, the consequences for this newly established dynasty will be difficult to predict.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not have this reason.

However, he also has difficulties.

It was he who led this group of old brothers to conquer the Ming Dynasty.

He knew very well the abilities of these heroes.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very clear about their ambitions.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that after his death, his successor would not be able to control these people.

If Zhu Biao was here, he would not have any worries in this regard.

Because the Huai Clan Group, the largest group of heroes under Zhu Yuanzhang, was loyal to the prince Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao was completely able to suppress these heroes, and even the vassal kings were all very convinced of Zhu Biao.

This is why, no matter how well Zhu Xun performed in Lingnan, Zhu Yuanzhang never thought about changing the prince.

But now that something happened to Zhu Biao, the position of the prince must be considered in the long term.

After more than 20 years of hard work, all the hard work was in vain, and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had difficulties.

Is it a son or a grandson?
Zhu Yuanzhang also figured it out later.

When raising a son, I was worried that they would not be able to control those heroes. Wouldn't it be even worse if I raised a grandson who was not yet one year old?That's why Zhu Yuanzhang sighed like this and said to Queen Ma: "Now I am also in trouble. The matter of establishing the emperor's grandson will definitely not work."

"You!"

Queen Ma still liked Zhu Xi, because at this time, King Jin and King Yan were actually still young, and Queen Ma personally visited Lingnan twice and knew the development of Lingnan, so she complained: "Can't you consider Xi'er?"

"Do you think I didn't consider it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Originally, Biao'er also submitted a petition to advise, thinking that Chen'er was the best candidate for the crown prince, and I also planned to appoint him, but... Today, the Prime Minister of the Left, Hu Weiyong, went to court to impeach the King of Qin for six major crimes. Each of them , are all real and extremely serious!”

"This Hu Weiyong!"

When Queen Ma heard this, she immediately became angry.

Daqing Lao Zhu said so much in a roundabout way just to tell her this matter!
