If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 105 The Luck Compass in Front of the Royal Gate
Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, there are somewhat undercurrents in Nanjing.

After all, no one is a fool. The emperor suddenly wants to summon all the vassal kings to come to Beijing to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. This is obviously because something big is going to happen, rather than the emperor suddenly missing his brothers and wanting to talk about their family relationships.

If Zhu Di cared so much about brotherhood, he would not have taken away the military power of all the feudal kings directly after Jingnan and wanted to continue to withdraw from the feudal clan.

It can be seen from this that this time the emperor summoned the vassal kings from all over the world to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, most likely it was related to the vassals.

Although Zhu Gaosui already knew that Zhu Di was going to restore the military power of the vassal king and implement the duty assignment, because he had been locked up in the military camp during this period, the news was not revealed to him.

Even in order to prevent the second child from knowing the news in advance so that he could go to the emperor to express his loyalty before him, Zhu Gaosui did not tell Zhu Gaoxu about it.

So much so that the King of Han had been holding back his anger in the military camp during this period, and did not think about the matter of vassalage at all.

Although Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji also knew about this matter, as the prince, Zhu Gaochi clearly knew the importance of this matter, so he kept a very strict tone. Even Princess Zhang, who was in charge of the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, said They knew nothing about this matter, and were still speculating on why the emperor wanted to summon all the vassal kings from all over the world during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As for Zhu Zhanji, during this period, in addition to spending most of his energy on tracking down Jingnan's orphans and assassins, he was also focusing on building the destiny compass.

Zhu Gaochi left this matter to him, which gave Zhu Zhanji the urge to finally be reused and to prove himself.

If it was before, Zhu Zhanji had no feeling about this, but when Zhu Zhanji had begun to train the army to exercise military power, and even got involved in the government affairs, and began to make suggestions for the court, he was still playing hide-and-seek with a group of assassins. This inevitably made Zhu Zhanji feel a little unbalanced.

Originally, Zhu Zhanji didn't care about the group of so-called Jingnan orphan assassins. He knew that Zhu Di actually didn't care that much about the assassination incident itself.

After all, he was the emperor who conquered the world on horseback. A mere assassination was not worth mentioning to Zhu Di. The reason why he asked Zhu Zhanji to investigate this matter was, on the one hand, to find out these people.

No matter what, this is an assassination attempt that happened in the capital. If these people are not arrested and the mastermind behind the scenes is not found out, then the emperor's face really doesn't know where to put it.

Even more seriously, if the assassin who assassinated the emperor cannot be caught, it will appear that the court and the emperor himself are incompetent, and it will cause further trouble in the already unstable world.

Therefore, the emperor needs an explanation, and the people of the world also need an explanation.

As for whether this explanation was to chop off the heads of a group of assassins or the mastermind behind the scenes, it actually didn't matter to the emperor.

That's why Zhu Di handed over this matter to Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's eldest grandson, instead of letting someone with more experience or ability to investigate. Otherwise, would he really think that the Jin Yiwei was just a decoration and couldn't find out anything like this?

This is essentially just the emperor training Zhu Zhanji. As for Zhu Zhanji being able to find out the clues about Jingnan's orphans, he also caught Sun Ruowei and the others, pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud, and traced that they indeed had The mastermind behind the scenes and what happened to Emperor Jianwen back then can only be said to be an unexpected gain.

Zhu Di was still very concerned about Jianwen. After all, he had no regrets about anything else in his life. The only thing that always worried him was that he had snatched the throne from his nephew. He was afraid that after his death, he would meet Zhu Yuanzhang underground and be unable to explain.

To say who Zhu Di was most afraid of meeting in his life, it was only his father, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because of this, Zhu Zhanji knew that it didn't matter whether these assassins were killed or not. As long as he could fish out Jianwen behind them, it didn't matter if they let them go.

So he is currently preparing to take a long-term approach to fishing for big fish, and does not need to pay too much attention to tracking down the assassin for the time being.On the contrary, Zhu Zhanji was very interested in building a destiny compass because it involved the theories of destiny and destiny.

This also made him very involved in this matter, doing almost everything himself in order to build the destiny compass.

The incident itself has aroused considerable attention and criticism from both the government and the public.

After all, all dynasties, ever since the rise of Confucianism, have been very repulsive to the theory of ghosts and gods. The so-called respect for ghosts and gods and keeping away from them means that the emperor should not have anything to do with these things. As long as the emperor believes in the theory of ghosts and gods and wants to pursue immortality , that is Hunjun.

Or to put it more bluntly, the power to explain the destiny, the way of heaven, or heaven is in the hands of Confucians after the Han Dynasty.

Only Confucians have the power and qualifications to explain what God means. Others can explain the destiny of heaven, as long as it means the same thing as Confucians.

But if it is different, what will be shaken is the legitimacy and legal principles of Confucianism, and Confucianism will use all its strength to target it.

Therefore, during this period of time, the ministers in the court never stopped making excuses, refuting this matter in various ways, and even felt that it was a waste of people and money, a ridiculous move that harmed the country.

Some of them even say that the fate of the country and destiny are so vast that they are not the will of the people but the will of God. It is an act of arrogance and arrogance to explain the fate of the country based on the will of the people.

Of course, this kind of statement would be stopped by the Shangguan before it was handed over to the emperor, because such remarks were really seeking death.

Even if he said this in the Yongle Dynasty, it would set off a big case and involve everyone.

But even so, a large number of weighty pieces of information were still sent to the emperor himself. After all, there were some pieces of information that even the prince could not suppress.

But when these notes were handed to the emperor, nothing was written.

Obviously, Zhu Di didn't care about the ministers' intentions.

For Zhu Di, it was not the turn of these ministers to point fingers or make irresponsible remarks about what he wanted to do.

Although he is not his father Zhu Yuanzhang, he was taught by Emperor Hongwu himself. It cannot be said that he learned Zhu Yuanzhang's character [-]%, but he was also carved out of the same mold.

When you want to do something, even nine cows can't pull it back.

Therefore, even though all the courtiers were opposed, only the Ministry of Revenue, who had previously communicated with Zhu Zhanjun, supported this matter. The fortune compass was still set up outside Fengtian Gate, where the courtiers went to court every day.

The reason why we chose to build the Luck Compass here is to prevent anyone from destroying it. After all, Fengtianmen is where the emperor went to the Royal Gate to listen to politics in the morning. It is also the main entrance to the palace. There are people guarding it at all times to prevent all human intentions. Possibility of destruction.

And this undoubtedly disgusted the ministers who came to court every day.
