Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Emperor Yongle, who was still sleeping, with an expression neither sad nor happy.

For a moment, he just wished that Grandpa Huang could just fall asleep like this. That would be great.

Otherwise, when Grandpa Huang really wakes up, Zhu Zhanji will be finished.

However, Zhu Zhanji couldn't do it if he were asked to kill the emperor's grandfather, let alone do such an unscrupulous thing.

He could poison his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu for the throne, but he would never attack his grandfather for the throne.

So, Grandpa Huang, just keep sleeping like this!

Zhu Zhanji opened his lips lightly and uttered a sentence in a low voice.

"Grandpa Huang, don't worry, Ming Dynasty has me!"

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly walked in, bowed and whispered a few words.

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, his expression changed and he hurried out of Qianqing Palace.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Yang Pu was waiting with a very solemn expression.

"Your Highness, the navy has moved!"

"Zheng He led the navy to forcibly enter the Xinjiangkou base, and all the passes along the Yangtze River were controlled by the navy. By the time we received the news, Zheng He had completely taken over the navy's defense line!"

Zhu Zhanji's face darkened when he heard this, and he took the secret report from Yang Pu.

After just a quick glance, His Highness Taisun cursed angrily.

"Zheng He deserves to die!"

"There is no order to mobilize troops and block water veins. What does Zheng He, a traitor, want to do?"

Yang Pu didn't know how to answer when he heard this, so he could only show a wry smile.

The imperial capital of Jinling has a criss-crossing water system. Since the Six Dynasties, a series of artificial rivers have been excavated between the Qinhuai River, Zhongshan, and Xuanwu Lake, such as Yundu, Chaogou, Qingxi, and Yangwuchenghao. The inner Qinhuai River and the outer Qinhuai River Water conservancy projects such as artificial tidying, ridge cutting and linking, dredging and deep dredging have also been carried out on other rivers.

These canals connect the urban water system of Jinling with the Yangtze River, or connect the Qinhuai River water system with the Jiangnan Canal water system, or avoid the danger of the mainstream of the Yangtze River through inland rivers along the Yangtze River. In a traditional society where water transportation was the main way of transportation, they played a military role. It plays an important role in defense, material transportation, flood control and irrigation, and cultural exchanges.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Jinling and completed the construction of a water transportation system with the Qinhuai River as the center to ensure that materials in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the Taihu Basin, and the Qiantang River could safely reach the capital through waterways.

But now, Zheng He suddenly took action and led his navy to forcibly block the Jinling water veins, which was tantamount to cutting off the capital's water transportation.

If it is not resolved in time, once the news is spread, I am afraid that people in the capital will instantly panic and cause huge chaos!

"Zheng He had secretly taken refuge with the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu a long time ago. At this juncture, he suddenly blocked the Jinling water veins, presumably to support the King of Han and to make His Highness surrender to the rat weapon."

Yang Pu directly stated Zheng He's purpose and also raised his concerns.

"If it is just Zheng He's navy, that's all. His Highness can issue an order to accuse him in the name of the imperial court, and take the opportunity to deprive Zheng He of control over the navy and insert it into his own confidants."

"But what I am most worried about now is not only Zheng He, the naval commander. The naval admiral Wu Xuan is famous as the King of Han's eagle dog. At the moment, he is leading the Bohai Navy to be stationed at the Dengzhou Naval Base. If he also After receiving the news, Ming Dynasty will really be in chaos!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's face became even more ugly!

In order to defend against Japanese pirate attacks, Emperor Taizu Gao ordered the founding general Tang He to inspect the coastal defense and build a complete maritime defense line.

For example, the Bohai Navy is responsible for strategic areas such as Shandong and Liaodong, and has thousands of warships under its command. It is currently being commanded by Navy Admiral Wu Xuan, and is also responsible for the secret mission of curbing the development of Ningguo.

Zheng He has already moved, and Wu Xuan will not remain silent. The Bohai Navy has a special position. If something changes, it will affect the Ming Dynasty's control of Liaodong!

Zhu Zhanji didn't want him to lose such a huge Liaodong just after he had been in charge of the country!

"Damn these treacherous officials and traitors!"

"Now I want to kill them all!"

After scolding for a while, Zhu Zhanji also felt a little helpless.

In the past, when the prince was still there, it was not his turn to intervene in government affairs and cultivate party members. However, now that he has just taken charge of the country's governance, he realizes that he has almost no trump card.

For example, Zhu Zhanji had never paid much attention to the navy, or he had never cared about the navy at all.

Let alone placing confidants in the Navy, Zhu Zhanji had never looked at the Ming Dynasty Navy seriously.

The result was good now, these watermen gave him a heavy blow!

Zhu Zhanji took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"I issued an order to ask Zheng He what he wants to do!"

"In addition, in addition to Zheng He, Wu Xuan and others, our Ming Dynasty still has naval officers and generals who must be vigorously promoted!"

Yang Pu nodded and hurriedly took the order and left.

But his heart was filled with worries.

His Highness Taisun just thought of joining the Navy now. Isn't it a little late?

The Penal Department Prison.

Zhu Gaoxu was in a daze out of boredom.

Soon there was a rush of footsteps, and the three giants came together.

Before Zhu Gaoxu could ask, Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, spoke directly.

"Hanwang, what do you want to do?"

"Zheng He's navy mobilized troops to threaten the capital without an order. Could it be that you want the world to be in chaos?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this, and then sneered disdainfully.

"Old Jintou, whatever you want."

"Since the assassination, I have been imprisoned by you. Do you still have the nerve to question me?"

Prince Han told the truth. He had been imprisoned during this period and had no chance to meet his close friends. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net How did he know what trouble Nie Xing, Yang Shiqi and others were causing outside.

The three giants looked at each other in shock when they heard this, but they were not surprised.

Xia Yuanji coughed twice and sighed.

"Your Highness, King of Han, we all know that you did not do this."

"But in order to save you, your henchmen are about to turn the Ming Dynasty into chaos."

"Now that the emperor is in a coma, it is a time when everything is uneasy and everyone is in danger. Is it possible that His Highness the King of Han cannot bear to see the country overturned?"

While talking, Xia Yuanji handed the latest urgent report from the Ministry of War to Zhu Gaoxu.

"If it hadn't been for this sudden assassination case, we wouldn't have known that His Highness the King of Han's hand had stretched out so far."

"Zheng He Navy and Wu Xuan Navy..."

"North Zhili Guards and Garrison..."

"The Six Kings of the Southwest plus Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng..."

"There are also Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui and his Nanyang Navy who are ready to make a move..."

"Your Highness, King of Han, if we let them continue to make trouble like this, the Ming Dynasty will really be doomed!"

Zhu Gaoxu took a look at the secret report and frowned immediately.

He did not expect that Nie Xing and Yang Shiqi would be so bold and directly mobilized everyone to coerce Zhu Zhanji to release him, the prince of Han.

Although this is just a show of muscles, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the current chaos!

If it is not handled carefully, a civil war is very likely to break out in Ming Dynasty, and this sudden war will be far more tragic and serious than the Battle of Jingnan, and will sweep the entire Ming Dynasty!

Without much thought, Zhu Gaoxu knew that this must be Yang Shiqi's handiwork!

"Okay, I understand what you mean!"

"There will be no chaos in the Ming Dynasty while I am still here!"

"Tell Yang Shiqi to come see me!"
