My Daming New Empire

Page 569

Zhu Zhanji noticed Zhu Gaochi's eyes, but he was not worried.Zhu Gaochi didn't want to go to the northwest, so he didn't go.Just relying on his group of civil servants will not be able to turn the sky.

However, he also underestimated Zhu Di's bearing and his own heart. At first they planned to let him go to the northwest, just to prevent him from affecting Zhu Zhanji's supervision of the country.

There's no need for him to retreat and go to Tangchi to compile a book. It doesn't matter if he stays in the palace!

Zhu Gaochi woke up, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, and his concubines felt like they had escaped from death again. After Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji left, they came to visit him one after another in front of his hospital bed.

Zhu Zhanji thought of the current sacrificial burial system, and felt more and more inhumane of this system.

However, now is by no means the best time to propose changes to such a system.In two years, when Zhu Di returns home with a big victory, he can control the situation in Daming again. This time will be the best.

He looked at the sky and said to Liu Wan: "Go and call Yang Zhangde to see me."

In the past few days, Zhu Gaochi has been in a coma, so that it is difficult for him to meet foreign ministers, and he has become almost deaf.

He is not worried about others now, but he is afraid that the King of Han will still be wicked.

It's getting dark, and tomorrow is the grand court meeting on the fifth day of February. Even if there are any changes outside, I can't take care of it now.

However, the King of Han has lost his power. If he is really wicked, Zhu Zhanji doesn't mind digging a big hole and burying him in it.

Yang Zhangde met Zhu Di several times these days, but Zhu Zhanji had no chance to meet the prince because he had to serve the prince.

Liu Wan just went to the front hall to talk to the big Han general of Jinyiwei, and after a while, Yang Zhangde rushed to Donghua Gate.

In the Department of Counseling and Information, Yang Zhangde described the arrest experience of the past few days in detail, and finally concluded: "Those scholars are all very talkative, and they are so scared that they will pee their pants when they see knives and guns. Dozens of people were arrested every day, and none of them were stubborn, so there is no need to worry about them."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked, "Is the Han Palace still calm these days?"

A trace of doubt appeared on Yang Zhangde's face, and he said: "The Palace of the King of Han has been closed for the past few days. I have heard a piece of news these days, and I don't know if it is true or not..."

"Tell me……"

"According to the spy report from Jin Yiwei's Palace of the King of Han, the King of Han has sent messages to His Majesty in the past few days, and wants to go west with His Majesty."

Zhu Zhanji froze for a moment, then pondered for a moment and said, "The post has been delivered?"

Yang Zhangde nodded. "It's just that I didn't find out what the King of Han wrote."

Now that the post has been delivered, there should be news from the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies. Just ask Wang Yan in a while and you will know what the King of Han wants to do.

"Okay, don't worry about this matter. In the past few days, I have stepped up the monitoring of all the nobles. I still don't know that those nobles secretly took refuge in my father, which made me sleepless."

Zhu Zhanji is not afraid of enemies on the surface, but those in the dark.If he surrendered to himself and secretly turned to the prince, it would have an impact on him.

Yang Zhangde was about to go, but Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered to ask him. "Is there any news from Shandong?"

"It's only been less than half a month, and there is still no news. Should I send someone to remind me?"

"No need. The overall situation has been grasped, and individual details cannot affect the situation."

After Yang Zhangde left, Zhu Zhanji quickly got the news from Wang Yan that the King of Han had indeed sent a message to Zhu Di.

However, he did not expect to be able to lead the North Route Army alone, but applied to Zhu Di to go out with the army, and applied to Zhu Di for several boats, intending to go to Xizhou during the Western Expedition.

As long as he is not spying on the military power, Zhu Zhanji will not care.That's all for him to apply to join the South Route Army.If he dared to look at the power of the North Route Army, Zhu Zhanji would never let him go.

Li Liang reminded softly: "Your Highness, the King of Han seems to have made up his mind to go to sea now. He wants to join the army, and I'm afraid he is also afraid of His Highness."

Zhu Zhanji understood at once that he was guarding against the King of Han, but the King of Han was even more afraid of him.

Now Zhu Gaochi, who is most concerned about brotherhood, is critically ill, and Zhu Zhanji is in charge of the country.If he took advantage of Zhu Di's expedition and directly found an excuse to wipe out Zhu Gaoxu's family, he would be wronged.

So now that Zhu Gaochi is critically ill, and Zhu Di wants to go west, he dare not stay in the country.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing, he was too much of a villain to judge a gentleman's belly!

That way, I don't have to worry about him at all.

But there is still a Zhao Wang, which makes him a little bit in a dilemma.

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui has been very obedient in recent years, but while he is obedient, his greed has also increased greatly.I am not satisfied with making easy money by following the inner prisoner, and I have learned to rob and plunder.

He has caused a lot of trouble now. Although it is easy to deal with, it has ruined the credibility of the court.

Such a person is a piece of mouse droppings, spoiling a pot of soup.

But he is an uncle, and Zhu Zhanji can't directly target him.

It's better to wait for Zhu Di to leave, and then find a way to treat him, and let him know that not all money can be earned.

Returning to the Xingqing Palace from the Consultation Department, it happened that Concubine Zhang was about to leave.

Just seeing that he hadn't left after dark and stayed to eat, Zhu Zhanji knew that Concubine Zhang Gui came to find him on purpose.

She is No.1 in the name of the harem, and she has grown up by two generations.Whether it's Sun Xian, Hu Liangdi, Lan Liangdi or the others, they all have to take care of them carefully.

She didn't come here this time to pass on Zhang Fu's message, but for her other two older brothers, Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu.

Zhang Xiang is now the Commander of Shence Guard, but his position is nominal and has no authority.

Because the Zhang family wants to enshrine the feudal clan, most of the members of their family are just unemployed.

There is also Zhang Fu, who now pretends to be the commander of Jin Yiwei, but in fact he just receives an extra salary.

But since the Zhang family is going to enshrine the feudal clan, they have to prepare for the future, so now that Zhang Fu is stationed in the capital, both of them want to go out with the army.

This is just a trivial matter, even if Concubine Zhang didn't say anything, Zhu Di would probably take them directly to practice.

So Zhu Zhanji directly agreed.

But when she was leaving, Concubine Zhang Guifei said softly: "Your Majesty woke up from a dream last night. I don't know what kind of nightmare I had. I was trembling all over. I even drew my sword and beheaded a court lady."

Zhu Zhanji knew that she was worried about Zhu Di's body, but with historical experience, Zhu Zhanji knew that Zhu Di had at least three more years to live.

He just smiled, nodded, and didn't answer.

In the previous life, there were 22 years of Yongle. In this life, Zhu Di is more energetic. If he does not defeat the Timur Kingdom, I am afraid that he will not die so early.

As long as he is given two years, he has the confidence to control the entire court situation, and no matter what happens, he will be able to deal with it calmly.

Now, all we have to do is wait for tomorrow's grand meeting.

(Sorry, it's late today, try to be early tomorrow)

Chapter 43 The Dust Settles

Different from the Great Court Meeting four years ago, this time the Great Court Meeting not only had many more clans, but even many nobles who had been living at home for the elderly also appeared in the court hall.
