Xiao Ran was not surprised. This was a normal choice for Zhu Di.
"Yang Shiqi, you have to find a way out for the Crown Prince's family. Although Second Brother is a little exaggerated, he still listens to me. If Second Brother can suppress Third Brother, the world won't be in chaos. You have to think of a way to protect the lives of the Crown Prince's family. I don't want future generations to say that Yongle usurped the throne and the future generations followed his example, killing each other and being laughed at by the ages. What do you think?”
Yang Shiqi naturally understood what Zhu Di meant." Your Majesty is wise. The imperial court in Nanjing is well-organized, but it's actually free. After the King of Han ascends to the throne, he can let the Crown Prince and his family go over. A tiger has no claws and fangs, so the King of Han shouldn't press him step by step. He can still eat comfortably.”
"In addition, the Emperor will write a letter and announce that all officials will make the King of Han and King of Zhao swear a blood oath that the descendants of the Zhu family will not kill each other. Otherwise, they will not be able to enter the ancestral temple and the world will attack them together.”
Zhu Di nodded when he heard Yang Shiqi's suggestion." It's feasible. Write it down in the memorial."”
"This subject will obey!" Yang Shiqi stood up and bowed to Zhu Di.
"Hey, do you still want to speak up for Taisun?”Zhu Di asked.
"I dare not!"
" If my grandson succeeds to the throne, he will definitely die under the blades of the Han King and the Zhao King. I've been thinking hard and can't find any chance of winning. If he finds out that he hates me in the future, I'll let him be. This is the most likely choice to protect the Crown Prince's family and also the most likely choice to prevent the Ming Dynasty from having internal strife.”
"I understand!"
Zhu Di waved his hand and Yang Shiqi left.
Xiao Ran supported Zhu Di." Old Master, lie down and rest!”
Zhu Di nodded." What do you think of this method?”
"I can only say that ideals are beautiful, but reality…Old Master, you can't be senile at your age!”
Zhu Di gestured with his hands." I'm going to chop you up!”
"The blood oath to not kill each other is just you deceiving yourself. Didn't I tell you before that you can call a deer a horse if you're alive? If you're not here, who will listen to you? Whether they listened or not depended on whether it would benefit them.”
"You little bastard, can't you leave some illusions for the old man?”Zhu Di naturally understood that an imperial edict was useless, but he still wanted to give it a try.
"This isn't just a battle between the Crown Prince's family and the King of Han and the King of Zhao. This is a battle between the officials of the Imperial Court and the King of Han and the King of Zhao.”
Zhu Di smiled." Alright, alright. You're right!”
"No, Old Man, you don't believe me, but the Crown Prince will be the one to succeed the throne. You have to understand the current situation. The officials of the court are all personally promoted by the Crown Prince. If we don't talk about the influence of the army, Old Man, you and the King of Han and the King of Zhao combined won't be able to defeat the Crown Prince in the court.”
Zhu Di thought about it carefully." That seems to be the case.”
"Yang Shiqi and the other two. The three Yangs are all hardcore princelings. Whether it's the Han King or the Zhao King who inherits the throne, once the situation stabilizes, these three will either be exiled or their families will be confiscated.”
"The other princelings will definitely be punished in the future. Old man, you know better than anyone what kind of personality the Han King has.”
Zhu Di felt even more troubled." I can't do anything about it. The King of Han and the King of Zhao have military power and have too much influence in the army. I don't see any chance of winning if I choose the Crown Prince's family. If I force the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, it might be another Fengtian disaster.”
Xuanwu Gate was Li Shimin's lifelong pain, and Fengtian Jingnan also disgusted Zhu Di for a lifetime.
