Chapter 570: Confused! The Ambition of Lord Xiangguo!
Latest website:
Zhu Gaoxu fell into a chair, looking dazed.
He never thought that the so-called mastermind behind the scenes would be Nie Xing or Yang Shiqi!
It's ridiculous that he led the secret guards to track down the mastermind, but he didn't know that the real mastermind was right next to him!
If he hadn't suddenly recalled that Yang Shiqi was an ambitious politician, he really wouldn't have suspected Yang Shiqi, and he wouldn't have made the trip tonight to learn all the truth!
After all, Yang Shiqi is the prince's companion, the fat and fat mentor!
It happened that he, Yang Shiqi, was once the most staunch supporter of the crown prince. Together with Nie Xing, the confidant of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty and the leader of the secret guards, he single-handedly concocted this series of major cases that have occurred in recent times, completely disrupting the entire Ming Dynasty!
Because of the two of them, Big Fatty, who originally had three to five years to live, died soon. Zhu Zhanji, the good saint and grandson who Zhu Di originally had high hopes for, completely lost his power and his holy family was no longer around. Even His Majesty the Emperor had many children because of the rift between father and son. It's a bit late.
"you……"
"What a good plan!"
Zhu Gaoxu shouted viciously, facing a difficult situation for the first time and feeling powerless.
Yes, powerlessness!
What can Zhu Gaoxu do now?
Is it possible to seriously report to Emperor Yongle and wait for him to bloodbath Nie Xing, Hu Yuancheng and other members of the Han Dynasty?
This is impossible, and Zhu Gaoxu cannot accept it.
Since the case of Zhang Fu's rebellion, Zhu Gaoxu has realized his situation and must find a way to protect himself.
He was unwilling to fight for the throne and become the Ming emperor.
After all, the two emperors Ren and Xuan after Yongle were both famous virtuous and wise emperors in history. They created the "Ren and Xuan Dynasty", which is comparable to the "Chengkang Rule" of the Zhou Dynasty, the "Wenjing Rule" of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. The Zhenguan rule of the dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxu asked himself, if he really made it to the dragon chair, what he could bring to the Ming Empire might not be as good as this father and son.
Out of respect and awe for history, Zhu Gaoxu never had the idea of fighting for the throne from the beginning to the end. It was not until Big Fat Pang suddenly became critically ill some time ago that he came up with such thoughts. It was just to seek self-protection. , unwilling to see Zhu Zhanji take charge of the government so soon.
According to Zhu Gaoxu's original plan, Emperor Yongle still had about ten years to live. Even if Big Fat Pang failed to live up to expectations, he could at least survive until he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. In total, there were still more than ten years, which was enough for Zhu Gaoxu to live for him. He built a business empire by himself to serve as a protective umbrella for the Han King's lineage and Han King's party members!
National affairs, money and food are two words!
As long as the financial power of the Ming Dynasty is in his hands, even if Zhu Zhanji intends to liquidate it in the future, he will probably be afraid of doing anything wrong.
However, as Nie Xing said, his envisioned plan was a bit too idealistic.
After all, this is the Ming Dynasty, an ancient society with strict classes!
Once his prince Zhu Gaochi ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, then Zhu Gaoxu will definitely die!
Don't look at the fact that the Han King's gang members are everywhere in the court now, it's just an appearance.
Military officers such as Liu Sheng and Xue Lu are now supporting Zhu Gaoxu because they see his potential. If the King of Han can succeed to the throne, it will bring more benefits to the military officers and ministers!
It's not that Zhu Gaoxu's personal charm is great, everything is just for profit.
When Big Fatty takes the throne and proclaims himself emperor, Zhu Gaoxu will become a loner in an instant.
Even during this period of time, he devoted all his efforts to build a business empire. However, under the deliberate suppression of Prince Zhu Zhanji, he is afraid that this business empire will fall apart in an instant!
In this Ming dynasty with strict classes and backward thinking, the emperor and the prince are the masters of everyone in the world. No one dares to disobey the rebels, let alone follow a down-and-out prince to confront the court!
Therefore, what Nie Xing just said is actually not unreasonable.
In other words, does Zhu Gaoxu have any other choices?
Yang Shiqi observed Zhu Gaoxu's face and spoke in a deep voice to break the silence.
"My lord, in fact, you have no way out for a long time, right?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can tolerate the Prince for a lifetime, but His Highness the Grand Sun will never tolerate the Prince for a while. Even if the Prince once ran thousands of miles to save His Highness the Grand Sun, this kindness will not seem so important in front of the throne!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous and kind, but he was born with a weak body and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of being at the helm of the empire!"
"His Royal Highness Taisun is not like that. As far as I know, this person is not a kind person. After all, he grew up beside the emperor since childhood. He learned the emperor's mental skills and followed the path of killing. This person is definitely not a kind person. Will tolerate anyone threatening his throne!"
Yang Shiqi once served as the prince's companion and served as a minister in the East Palace for many years. He had long understood the temperament of the prince Zhu Gaochi and the grandson Zhu Zhanji.
It is true that the good saint grandson is indeed worthy of his title of "legendary grandson". He has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, and he was personally trained by Emperor Yongle. It is not impossible that he will grow into a virtuous and wise king in the future.
But that's only the future, not now!
Compared with the current great grandson Zhu Zhanji, compared with the Han king Zhu Gaoxu, the difference is really not even a little bit!
What the Ming Dynasty needs now is a helmsman who can adapt to the general trend, seize the opportunity to start the Age of Discovery, and create a true Celestial Kingdom. UU Reading www.uukanshu.netｔ
It will take at least ten or twenty years for the grandson Zhu Zhanji to become the prince Zhu Zhanji and then the emperor Zhu Zhanji. Even if the Ming Dynasty can afford to wait, Yang Shiqi cannot afford to wait!
After the trip to Nanyang, Yang Shiqi's mentality had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
Before going to the old port of Nanyang, what he wanted to do was to achieve results as soon as possible, and then return to the Central Plains court of the Ming Dynasty to govern the center of the Ming Dynasty.
But after he helped Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui conquer the Seven Kingdoms, Yang Shiqi truly realized this vast world.
Taking charge of the center of the Ming Dynasty and governing the country and bringing peace to the world no longer appealed to Yang Shiqi.
He wanted to choose a Ming Lord to serve him, let Ming Dynasty usher in the Age of Discovery, and assist this Ming Lord to create a true celestial kingdom!
He, Yang Shiqi, wants to be the Prime Minister of this great country...!
Strong men, prosperous Tang Dynasty, so what?
Do they know that there is a broader world to the west of the Western Region?
They don't know and they can't know.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of him, and it is impossible for Yang Shiqi not to be tempted.
After traveling around the world for twenty years, Yang Shiqi desires success and fame more than anyone else, and wants to be remembered in history more than anyone else!
The Ming Dynasty now has three dragons and two pythons. Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, Prince Zhu Gaochi, and grandson Zhu Zhanji are dragons, while King Zhu Gaoxu of Han and King Zhu Gaosui of Zhao are pythons!
However, the only person who is truly worthy of Yang Shiqi's loyalty is the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu!
His Majesty the Emperor is old, His Highness the Crown Prince is frail and weak, His Highness the Grand Sun is young and vigorous, Prince Zhao is ambitious and talented...
Yang Shiqi had no other choice except Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty who was a master of martial arts and martial arts!
Moreover, Yang Shiqi was extremely convinced that Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu would bring a real prosperous age to the Ming Dynasty, a prosperous age for the people of the world!
After all, he had already done it in Peiping, hadn't he?
