Zhu Di's army alone could not achieve great things.
He needed allies, and his ally was Prince Ning Zhu Quan.
But now, Zhu Yunwen planned to completely subdue Zhu Quan and make him work for her!
Daning is located outside Xifengkou, belonging to the ancient Huizhou, connected to the left of Liao in the east and Xuanfu in the west. It is an important town of Youyan.
It was not without reason that Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted such an important town to Zhu Quan.
When Mr. Cai Dongfan wrote the Ming Tong Jian, he had such an evaluation: "Among the sons of Taizu, King Yan is good at fighting, and King Ning is good at scheming.”
In other words, in Cai Dongfan's judgment, conspirators and rebels like Zhu Di were only good at fighting, while Prince Ning was the resourceful person.
In fact, directly reading the text was one-sided.
Other than the word 'kind', there were other skills mixed in.
Prince Ning was not only wise and resourceful, but also brave and good at fighting. He had joined forces with the other Sai Kings several times to suppress the Beihuang Region.
In the side hall.
After Zhu Quan bowed, Zhu Yunwen smiled and arranged for Jiang An and the others to leave. She then sat down and said to Zhu Quan,"Imperial Uncle Ning, before we part, zhen specially summoned you into the palace because there are some things that I am worried about and hope Imperial Uncle Ning can help zhen.”
Zhu Quan was only 20 years old this year. He had a fair face and a long beard. He had a refined demeanor. Seeing that Zhu Yunwen spoke calmly without the arrogance of an emperor, he relaxed and said softly,"Your Majesty's matter is the matter of the Great Ming Dynasty and the matter of the officials. As long as Your Majesty asks, I dare not refuse.”
Zhu Yunwen held the tea bowl and slightly tasted the fragrance. She said,"I wonder what Imperial Uncle Ning thinks of the King of Yan?”
Zhu Quan was shocked. He looked at the calm Zhu Yunwen and secretly became vigilant."The King of Yan is the pillar of the empire's north. He has strategy, courage, and is good at military affairs.”
"Hehe, this evaluation is very fair. But the more it is like this, the more uneasy I am.”
Zhu Yunwen took out the secret report written by Li Jiujiang. Zhu Quan bowed and took the secret report. He returned to his seat and opened it. His face immediately turned pale.
Although Li Jiujiang had placed his focus on Zhu Di and even implicated Xu Huizu, he had also implicated himself!
This traitor!
He actually betrayed him and the King of Yan! Li Jiujiang, oh Li Jiujiang, from now on, I will be irreconcilable with you!
What else could he say!
" Your Majesty!" Zhu Quan hurriedly knelt down and shouted," Your Majesty, I have no second thoughts. This is Li Jiujiang's words of flattery…"
"I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the King of Yan.”
Zhu Yunwen asked in a deep voice.
At this moment, Zhu Quan was not in the mood to care about the King of Yan. He continued,"Your Majesty, I've been feeling unwell recently and wish to stay in the capital to seek medical advice. As for Daning, please select another good general…"
The best way to protect himself was to stay under His Majesty's nose.
In the Ming Dynasty, distance did not increase beauty, but only suspicion.
If he were to risk his life outside and any minister said that he had colluded with the five military governors with ill intentions, he would not even have the chance to explain himself.
Yi Fan, resolutely Yi Fan!
Zhu Quan was terrified.
Zhu Yunwen stepped forward and helped Zhu Quan up. She smiled and said,"Imperial Uncle Ning, if I didn't trust you, why would I take out this secret report? I know what Imperial Uncle Ning has done in Daning. Sigh…"
Zhu Quan thought to himself,'If you believe me, does that mean you don't believe in your fourth brother, Zhu Di?'
Looking at the Emperor sighing, could it be that he was worried that Fourth Brother would rebel?
It shouldn't be. Although Fourth Brother was fierce, he wouldn't hit a rock with an egg and seek his own death.
After all, there were four hundred thousand soldiers in the capital, and there were four hundred thousand soldiers around the Beiping Prefecture, not including the other local guards and the Great Ming Navy.
"I'm willing to share your worries, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Quan gritted his teeth.
I'm sorry, Fourth Brother. I was forced to do so. If you want to blame someone, blame Li Jiujiang, that shameless traitor.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Quan and laughed,"Forget about sharing the burden. Let's deduce the future situation in Beiping.”
"Deduction?"
Zhu Quan was puzzled.
This thing could be deduced?
Your Majesty, do you think you are Zhuge Liang? A shabby thatched cottage can predict three parts of the world, but you are in the Ming Imperial Palace…
Zhu Yunwen walked to the table and unfolded the scroll, revealing the map of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunwen picked up the bamboo stick beside him and pointed to the location of Beiping Prefecture on the map. He said to Zhu Quan,"Imperial Uncle Yan is a man of great talent, and his thoughts are heavy. I took into account my kinship, repeatedly on guard, deployed troops in Peiping, only for the loyalty of Yan's imperial uncle.”
"Of course, human ambition is like boiling oil on a fire. I am worried. Now that there are only the two of us, I will speak frankly. If Imperial Uncle Yan really has second thoughts, what will he do?”
Zhu Quan looked at the map and listened to Zhu Yunwen's words. He almost wanted to pray for the King of Yan. The rebellion hasn't even begun, but His Majesty has already determined that you're going to rebel. He even plans to deduce how you're going to rebel.
Ling, your life is too tragic…
"How does Your Majesty think Fourth Brother, no, the King of Yan will act?”
Zhu Quan had no choice but to cooperate.
Zhu Yunwen pointed at Beiping Prefecture and said,"If the King of Yan wants to plan something, it's not as simple as just saying it. He will first prepare weapons and food, and train his troops. It's fine for soldiers and food, but the forging of weapons requires movement. Therefore, he would arrange for people to dig a hole in the King Yan's residence to forge weapons. Then, he would raise poultry on it to cover up the commotion…"
The corner of Zhu Quan's mouth twitched slightly. His Majesty could think of such a method?
Zhu Yunwen continued,"In order to buy time and reduce my concerns about him, he will use a very ruthless method…"
"Eh? What methods?"
Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Yunwen in shock.
Zhu Yunwen laughed and said,"If I don't give up my military power, how can I eliminate my concerns?" It was nothing more than that he was very sick, or very injured, or that he had gone crazy.”
"Crazy? Are you crazy?"
Zhu Quan widened his eyes as if he was listening to a story.
However, wasn't His Majesty's storytelling a little too lousy?
One had to know that Zhu Di was brave beyond compare. It was easy for him to ride a horse for a hundred miles. Would such a strong man go crazy?
"Of course, there are many people who pretend to be crazy to avoid disaster, such as Sun Bin, Sima Yi, Tang Bohu…" Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently.
"Wait, Your Majesty, Sun Binchen knows, and Sima Yichen also knows. Who is this Tang Bohu?”
Zhu Quan thought of himself as a scholar and knew a lot, but he had never heard of a person named Tang Bohu in history.
Zhu Yunwen was depressed.
You don't know who Tang Bohu is, but your great-great-grandson Zhu Chenhao does.
However, if he changed history, Zhu Quan would not go to Nanchang. Then his great-great-grandson would not have the chance to rebel, and Tang Bohu would not have the chance to pretend to be crazy.
Zhu Yunwen didn't know how many unpredictable things would happen in the future of the Ming Dynasty if she kept flapping her wings like a butterfly…Would those amazing figures in history still appear? I am the emperor, where will the Ming Dynasty go?
Could he really control this huge ship?
