Chapter 1114 Countermeasures
In the Hall of Gratitude, Zhu Gaochi only left Yang Pu to talk to himself.Zhu Gaochi still believes in this Master Yang who tried his best to protect himself in the worst age, at least he believes that his selfishness will be less.

"Master Yang," Zhu Gaochi recalled, leaning on the pillow with a lonely expression: "When I was in the mansion, my father, my brothers, and nobles all had bad intentions. My life was very difficult. I remember that at that time You comforted me by saying that if you bear the humiliation and bear the burden until you become the emperor, no one will dare to target me..." Then he looked at Yang Pu and said, "Now, I am finally the emperor, but the situation still seems to have not changed..."

"This..." Yang Pu thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Actually, there has been a big improvement, at least the late Emperor, King Han, and King Zhao are no longer around." It's just the last struggle of those nobles who are unwilling to fail. The emperor must not be fooled by the night before dawn."

"Hehe...Master Yang is still so good at comforting people..." Zhu Gaochi's face improved a lot.

"The humble minister is just telling the truth." Yang Pu said with a smile.

"But this dark night before dawn is very difficult..." Zhu Gaochi also smiled, and said bitterly: "Xungui, old system, and evil law are actually three aspects of one body. Abolishing the old system and abolishing evil law will definitely destroy the honor. Your interests will definitely cause them to fight back desperately, unless I give up the reform, regardless of the survival of the country and the lives of the people, otherwise, there will be a battle with them."

"The ministers are willing to be the emperor's pawns before the emperor's horse, and they will not hesitate!" Seeing the emperor's sorrowful heart, Yang Pu burst into tears, and said with shame on his face: "It's a pity that when life and death are fought, we have no power to restrain the chicken!" The scholar is useless!" As he spoke, he raised his voice like a cuckoo weeping blood: "Your Majesty, you still have to invite Wang Xian back!"

"Don't say that, it's not your fault..." Zhu Gaochi also shed tears, took Yang Pu's hand and said, "You are capable ministers who govern the world, not materials for chaos." After finishing speaking, he Sighing infinitely melancholy, he turned his eyes unconsciously to the south, which was the direction where Wang Xian was.

Facing the oppression of nobles, Zhu Gaochi felt helpless and missed Wang Xian who was far away in Jinan...

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the feelings of ministers and others at this time, and focus on the overall situation! Quickly call Wang Xian back to Beijing to escort him!" Compared with Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and others, Yang Pu is indeed more considerate of the emperor. Some.

"Didn't I just send Jin Youzi there a few years ago?" Zhu Gaochi said helplessly, "As a result, Wang Xian sent him back directly."

"It is said that the dead are the most important, and the veteran should not say that Jin Xueshi is wrong, but now he doesn't care so much," Yang Pu said in a deep voice: "Jin Xueshi and others have always been wary of Wang Xian, and regard him as the number one enemy. Be wary of him even more than nobles. This time Jin Xueshi went to Shandong to invite people, talking empty teeth, not giving any conditions, it can be said that there is no sincerity! If you change the old minister, he will not come back! Forgive the old minister, I am afraid that Jin Xueshi I don't have any good intentions, but I want to use this strategy to drive a wedge between the emperor and Duke Zhen."

"Jin Xueshi's intentions will not be so sinister..." Zhu Gaochi shook his head and sighed: "However, last time I really thought it was easy. When Wang Xian came back, he wanted to fight to the end for me and the nobles. He has enough guarantees, how dare he make fun of his wealth and life?"

"What the emperor said is true." Yang Pu bowed and begged for orders: "The old minister is willing to go to Jinan again. As long as the emperor shows the greatest sincerity, the old minister will risk his life and invite Wang Xian back to the capital."

"Then I will trouble Master Yang." Zhu Gaochi nodded and asked, "In Master Yang's opinion, what is the greatest sincerity?"

"Wang Xian's biggest concern is nothing more than the entanglement and deep-rootedness of the nobles in the army, which will make people hard to guard against!" Yang Pu said in a deep voice, "The only way to change this situation is to abolish the military system of the five prefectures that do not belong to each other. Restore the Great Governor's Mansion in the early years of Hongwu, and control the army of the world! The army of the world is commanded by the Great Governor, who in the army dares to fight? If he becomes the Great Governor, what worries does Wang Xian have?!"

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaochi didn't expect Yang Pu to throw such a big bomb. He didn't even feel a headache for a while, and fell into deep thought: "This is a big event, a big event..."

"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about it for a long time. This matter will definitely satisfy the Lord Zhen. It will also be beneficial to the Emperor!" Yang Pu said in a deep voice, "Wang Xian dismantled and rebuilt the five-army governor's mansion. In the process, the purge of the honorable generals will naturally be completed. Although this will greatly expand the power of Lord Zhen Guo, once he takes away the benefits of the honorable generals, he will inevitably be hated by them, making it difficult for him Once you gain the hearts of the people, you will not be able to develop ambition.”

After a pause, Yang Pu continued: "Secondly, it is better to fight against one person than against a group. In the future, when Your Majesty's birds are exhausted and the good bows are hidden, Wang Xian is alone, and the emperor can arrange him however he wants? "

"..." Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered, obviously moved a lot by Yang Pu's words.But this is a big matter, and he knows very well that once he agrees, it will cause earth-shaking changes.And it's hard to say whether this change will be beneficial or unfavorable to me and the royal family in the end...

Yang Pu said what he should say, so he stood quietly by the side, waiting for the emperor to make up his mind.

This idea is really difficult to take, Zhu Gaochi pondered for half an hour, still hesitating.Until the eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is back." Zhu Zhanji is still a grandson, not only he himself feels awkward, but others also feel awkward, so he coincidentally changed his name to His Majesty.It's just that they don't know, this title annoys Zhu Zhanji even more.

"Master Yang, go back and rest first. Let me think about what you said." Zhu Gaochi looked at Yang Pu, and said softly, "I have nothing but one thing to be proud of, and that is how I look at people." He said like It was emphasizing to himself, and it seemed to be explaining to Yang Pu: "I never believe that Wang Xian will be a usurper, so if I use him, I will never think of cheating him." As he said, Emperor Hongxi showed bitterness He smiled and said: "My royal family has cheated him too many times, as long as I cheat him once, I will never get his loyalty again..."

"The emperor has no doubts about employing people, and the benevolent is invincible." Yang Pu bowed deeply, bowed and retreated.

.

After Yang Pu retired, Zhu Zhanji appeared in the Thanksgiving Hall.Talking with Yang Pu exhausted the emperor's energy, Zhu Gaochi lay on the dragon bed drowsy, looked at the algae well on the top of the hall, and asked quietly, "What did they say?"

"Reporting to my father, the nobles are already afraid of causing such a catastrophe on impulse. I only hope that the emperor will forgive their sins..." Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Gaochi, but did not notice the emperor's expression was different. If there was any change, he continued: "In addition, they guarded the Zi Palace of the late emperor, in case someone would destroy it, not to obstruct anything. The emperor can send someone to inspect it at any time..."

"Hmph!" Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid, nothing can be found out now..."

"If the father thinks so, there is nothing I can do about it." Zhu Zhanji turned his head away, and said in a muffled voice: "Anyway, there should be no trouble tomorrow, and the son is lucky to fulfill his mission. Go to sleep."

"You should rest early too..." Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, lowering his eyelids.

Zhu Zhanji looked at his father, who had closed his eyes, without blinking, and retreated silently for a long time.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes. He could clearly feel the chill in his son's eyes, mixed feelings in his heart, and couldn't sleep all night.

.

The next day, the wind stopped and the snow stopped, and Longevity Hill was extremely cold.

Although the mausoleum-wailing farce and murderous tragedy happened just yesterday, the emperor Daxing's Ancuo ceremony still had to continue.After all, if the old emperor is not buried in the soil, no one will be able to go home...

The atmosphere in Changling was more like a funeral than yesterday. The civil servants with bruised noses and swollen faces could cry heart-piercingly without brewing emotions, and many of them even fainted from crying directly.The nobles didn't give up too much, and their energetic cries echoed in the valley, shaking the snow on the branches, fluttering and falling non-stop.

Zhu Gaochi felt very bored, because these guys were crying for themselves through the late emperor's funeral.But the emperor also had to admit that this was a good opportunity to let off steam. Thinking about how hard he had endured for so many years, he finally became the emperor. not human.Emperor Hongxi was in so much pain that he couldn't bear to live, and burst into tears at the top of his voice!

I don't know if it was because of the cry that was ten times louder than yesterday that the Emperor Daxing finally calmed down. In short, when the 120 and eight Jinyiwei re-passed the rope through the big bar, and then exerted their strength together under the command of the officer, that The big golden nanmu coffin, which could not be lifted yesterday, was lifted up without hindrance!

Emperor Hongxi's hanging heart finally let go.The Minister of the Ministry of Rites, fearing that something might happen again, directly skipped a few irrelevant ceremonies, and ordered people to quickly bury Emperor Daxing's coffin into the ground for safety.

The coffin was carried into the underground palace by Jin Yiwei, and more than a hundred cypress coffins were carried by officers and soldiers. Inside were eunuchs and palace concubines who were buried for Emperor Yongle... Originally, there were voices in the government and the public that Xu Miaojin should also be buried for the late emperor, but in this case In fact, the attitudes of the big bosses of all parties are very rare, the person who suggested it was severely punished, and no one dared to mention it again...

When the burial objects were also sent into the underground palace, the craftsmen lowered the huge stone gate of the underground palace, then destroyed the mechanism, and began to fill in the sealing soil...

Emperor Yongle, who has dominated the world for 30 years and dominated the world for [-] years, finally bid farewell to the world...

Then, without staying for a moment, Emperor Hongxi and his ministers left Changling, left Longevity Hill, and returned to the capital as soon as they returned home.

Everyone knows that the dispute in Changling is just a rehearsal, and the real battle will start only after returning to the capital!
