Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne From the Start!

Chapter 35 Evil Monk: Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang Are Not Worthy of My Attention!

Although Ma Xiuying's trip to Tuqiao Village was very low-key.

But there are no secrets in the palace.

Before the carriage left the imperial city, the news had spread to the six ministries.

All officials were talking about it.

"Your Majesty allowed the Queen to go to Tuqiao Village, and brought the older princes and princesses with him. This is to teach them a lesson!"

"Your Majesty's support for the prince is really unwavering!"

"Now it seems that the Hongwu Dynasty has no chance to fight for wealth and glory by choosing the dragon of the residence. It can only bet on the prince without hesitation."

"But everyone is betting on the prince, and the return is too little. When will we have a chance to succeed? Oh... Never mind!"

"Great! No one can shake the prince's position!"

"Of course! Now is the spring plowing time. Zhu Silang is the most difficult hurdle as a farmer! Let the princes see Zhu Silang's fate with their own eyes. How dare they have a little idea about the position of the crown prince?"

"I really want to see it in person, Zhu Silang's embarrassed appearance of plowing the land with a cow!"

"Everyone, everyone, I propose that for the sake of the prince, after the court, we go to have a drink!"

"This is a good proposal!"

...

Those who support Zhu Biao are ecstatic.

Some court officials who were planning to choose Qianlong to bet on a fortune and wealth sighed and gave up completely.

The reactions of officials at all levels of the six ministries were quickly summarized by people planted by Zhu Yuanzhang and sent to the desk of the imperial study.

Imperial study.

After reading the contents of the private discussions of officials at all levels in groups of three or two...

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips slightly raised with pride.

He leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and smiled at the roof, the majestically overlooking pure gold dragon head.

"I'm right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself, his smile disappeared, and his face was firm.

Facts have proved that he was right to demote the fourth son to a commoner and expel him from the family tree!

It will take some time to kill the little thoughts of the princes.

But the thoughts of the court officials have been unified first!

In all dynasties, court officials have stood in line, divided into factions to support different princes, and participated in the fight for the throne.

In fact, it is closely related to the word "profit"!

They all want to fight for an immediate fortune and wealth!

With his support and arrangement, Biaoer has many supporters and his position seems to be very solid.

No one has ever openly opposed Biaoer.

But the more this happens, the more people have ulterior motives, but they just don't show it.

Because the more solid Biaoer's position is, it means that supporting Biaoer is icing on the cake, and the future benefits are too small!

Many low-level officials are promoted too slowly and too hard.

They just hope that the Ming Dynasty will be like other dynasties, and the princes will jump out to fight for the throne.

They choose the princes they like and support the fight for the throne.

If they succeed, they can be made a marquis and prime minister after the victory!

Step up to the sky!

There are many such examples in history!

And he...

It's just a small trick.

Sacrificed the life of a son.

Protected other children.

And by the way, he killed the ministers' ulterior motives and achieved a high degree of unity in the idea of ​​establishing a crown prince!

"We are right!"

"It's worth it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Longmu with a firm look, his lips trembling, his tone was particularly firm, and he murmured.

Huangjue Temple.

A temple that cannot be avoided in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was saved by it.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu were ordered to return to Fengyang, the place where their ancestors founded their country, to gain experience.

After arriving, they immediately came to Huangjue Temple to show their favor on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang.

And according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, they stayed at Huangjue Temple for three days to worship Buddha on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Jin Wang Zhu Yu stayed in the wing room.

"Who are you! What do you want to do!" Zhu Yu stared at the monk in front of him with sharp eyes.

This monk, who called himself Daoyan, stayed at Huangjue Temple, but broke into his room under the pretext of delivering tea.

He also said some nonsense.

Mainly indirect attack.

The fourth brother's remarks on seizing the throne.

This is the most taboo topic in the court!

What's more, the other party is a monk who should not care about the secular world!

Facing the question, Daoyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, smiled, and calmly turned the Buddhist beads, "I am Daoyan, a poor monk, proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism."

"In the eighth year of Hongwu, His Majesty issued an edict that monks proficient in Confucianism and Taoism go to Beijing to participate in the Ministry of Rites examination."

"I also participated and got a monk's robe."

"I came to see the prince this time to give him a white hat."

"White hat?" Zhu Yu was a little confused for a moment, frowning and thinking about what the last sentence meant.

Bang!

At a certain moment, he suddenly changed color, slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the door and shouting: "You evil monk, get out of here immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

He is the prince, giving him a white hat...

Emperor!

If this conversation is heard by his father, he will immediately follow the footsteps of the fourth brother!

Daoyan stood up, put his hands together, saluted calmly, and said: "What I said today will always be valid. If Your Highness changes his mind at any time, you can send someone to give this to me."

"After receiving the token, I will go through fire and water for Your Highness."

While speaking, Daoyan put the Buddhist beads in his hand on the table.

He stepped back a few steps, stopped, and added calmly with a smile: "After leaving Your Highness's door, I will go to see His Highness the King of Qin."

"But please believe me, I will always be interested in Your Highness."

After saying this, Daoyan did not stay and turned to leave.

Until Daoyan disappeared, Zhu Yu retracted his gaze and fell on the Buddhist beads on the table. His expression changed and hesitant.

Hand...

He stretched it out several times, and then retracted it with a "whoosh".

At a certain moment, he picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea irritably, and stood up to pace back and forth.

He knew very well what it meant to secretly collect this string of Buddhist beads!

...

Daoyan walked out of the courtyard where Zhu Yu was, with a brisk pace and a very calm and confident smile, as if he was sure that Zhu Yu would accept his token.

Alas!

At a certain moment, he suddenly sighed...

"A prince who dared to openly call for the throne to an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, his courage and determination are the most worthy of assistance, what a pity..."

"This king is not interested in the throne!"

"However, he is not interested in this now, but what about the future? Who can tell clearly..."

In fact, he admired Zhu Di more.

If Zhu Di had the intention to seize the throne, he would be willing to plan for him even if he was demoted to a commoner.

But by hinting at Zhu Yu, he was very sure that Zhu Di was not interested in seizing the throne!

At least now, that's the case!

Shouting for the succession was clearly a warning to the emperor.

In order to warn Zhu Yuanzhang, he dared to shout for the succession!

This kind of person is bold and determined, and he cannot be shaken.

Therefore, as a second choice, he can only choose between Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu, the King of Jin...

is the hidden dragon he temporarily chose!

"I, Yao Guangxiao, am proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and my talents are not inferior to Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang. But when the world was in chaos, I was still young. Now that the world has been settled, there is no place for me to display my talents..."

"The Buddha can create another Buddhist country."

"If this world does not give me a chance to display my talents, I will create another one!"

He said unwillingly, his steps became more determined, and he went straight to Zhu Chong's courtyard.

Outside the courtyard

He gave his name to Zhu Chong's followers: "I am Daoyan, a monk who is proficient in the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang are not worthy of my attention."

"Please tell His Royal Highness the King of Qin that I will bring you great wealth!"
