My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 132 The Recalling Technique from King Yan
Since Li You left, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, as the elder brothers, have not returned to their own rooms in Zhu Gaoyue's courtyard.

The women in Prince Yan's mansion had already followed him back to his fiefdom when he returned to his homeland.

Thinking of this, the brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Right now, things are turbulent and the situation in Yingtian Prefecture is treacherous.

If the women stayed behind, they would have to take care of the children, which would be even more detrimental to the current situation.

house.

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, making a light "tap-tap" sound. After a while, he spoke:

"The reduction of the feudal lords... has begun. This time, Li Jinglong went to Datong. On the surface, he said that he was going to prepare for the border. But more likely, I am afraid that he wanted to use this opportunity to capture the King of Dai in one fell swoop and imprison him in Yingtian Prefecture."

At this point, Zhu Gaosui spoke coldly:
"Our new emperor is very smart in his calculations. Before Grandfather the Emperor passed away, he only said that he would not kill Uncle Prince, but he did not say that he could not be imprisoned."

"This abacus bead is about to fall on my face..."

When Zhu Gaoyu heard this, he couldn't help but speak:

"Why don't we run away?"

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes. "There are so many descendants of princes in Yingtian Prefecture right now. Who wouldn't want to run away? The question is... can you run away?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu felt something was wrong.

Not for anything else, just for the pair of sparkling eyes when Zhu Gaoyu looked at him.

He pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable:
"Why do you look at me like that?"

It's like a dog seeing a bone.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoyu smiled and bared his big white teeth:

"Brother, don't you have me here? Brother, you are so brave and powerful that you can even kill the Northern Yuan people on the grassland. For Brother, the blockade of Jinling City is just a snap of a finger!"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui both laughed immediately and sat leisurely aside, looking like they were watching the fun.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu was clearly being praised, but after hearing Zhu Gaoyu's answer, he felt as if this guy was flattering him more than he deserved.

He couldn't help rolling his eyes:
"I can fight. But if I really want to escape from Yingtian Prefecture, with so many soldiers from the Military Department, I can't possibly fight my way out by outnumbering a hundred or even a thousand, right?"

Zhu Gaoyu thought about it and suddenly thought of his father who was far away in Peking.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Actually, it's not difficult to go back. I just need Dad's cooperation."

Ok?
The three brothers' eyes lit up.

Especially Zhu Gaochi, although he is fat, he has a smart mind!

Zhu Gaochi lowered his voice and said:
"You mean... starting with the symptoms of the disease, let Dad pretend to be sick, so that we can go back to take care of him naturally?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his first reaction was disbelief:

"Will the emperor let us go back? If we leave, won't our father lose his last concern? He can't be that stupid..."

Before Zhu Gaoxu finished his last sentence, he saw several other brothers looking at him in unison with strange eyes.

Zhu Gaosui in particular felt like he wanted to laugh but couldn't:

"If it were anyone else, this strategy would definitely not work. But if it were the person sitting on the chair right now... I'm really not sure!"

Zhu Gaoxu thought about the trouble that Emperor Jianwen had caused not long after he came to power, and for a moment he could not help but remain silent.

Fang Xiaoru was in charge of the reform, which caused the nobles in Yingtian Prefecture to secretly complain, leading to a rift between the emperor and his subjects.

The two scholars Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were responsible for reducing the power of the feudal lords.

To be honest, Zhu Gaoxu really couldn't understand why Emperor Jianwen was so anxious to reduce the power of the vassal states when he obviously had such a big advantage, making everyone want to jump off the wall in desperation...

To be disrespectful, if Zhu Gaoxu had been the emperor, no matter how impatient he was, he would have been more inclined to take it slow and gradual in weakening the many princes. In this way, from generation to generation, the princes would not have such great power.

As the saying goes, things will be perfect if you take it easy, and people will be at peace if they take it easy. It's such a simple truth, could it be that Zhu Yunwen didn't understand it even though he had read so many books?
If Zhu Gaoyu heard the second brother's thoughts, he would definitely say that knowing is easier said than done.

How can it be so easy to integrate knowledge and action and become a saint?

As the brothers talked, they began to write letters.

……

Beiping.

After returning from Yingtian, Zhu Di had already made up his mind to quell the rebellion.

Compared to being cornered and forced to rebel, he now has more time to prepare.

At this time, the King of Yan stood in the back garden, looking at the soldiers training in front of him, with a gleam of light in his tiger eyes.

The only difference was that behind King Yan, there were several people wearing the same armor and with similar faces and figures to King Yan.

Yao Guangxiao just stood beside Prince Yan, and the inverted triangle eyes on his face made him look extremely ferocious.

But there was often an incomprehensible smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him seem even more unpredictable and like a collection of contradictions.

Zhu Di seemed to be thinking about something:
"I have heard of Yuan Gong's fame. It is said that he read the fortune for the Southern Palace Doctor Puhua Timur. Later, Puhua Timur was stripped of his official seal as he said, but his name was passed down to future generations."

The smile on Yao Guangxiao's face remained:

"Not only that, Yuan Gong has also seen me."

Zhu Di became slightly interested and raised his eyebrows:
"Oh?"

Just as he was about to say something, an old man with full earlobes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, who looked vigorous and energetic, slowly came over. He glanced at the people standing in a row, and without changing his expression, he walked straight towards the direction where Zhu Di was, and then knelt down.

It is facing Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

Seeing this, Zhu Di just asked:

"Sir, why do you only worship me?"

As he said this, Zhu Di calmly waved his hand to block the troops on his left and right, leaving only Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Gong by his side.

However, Yuan Gong then said something earth-shattering:

"Your Majesty is the Emperor of Taiping. I have seen generals and talented people from all over the country gather in Peking because of you."

As he was speaking, Yuan Gong's next words made Zhu Di narrow his eyes slightly and look seriously at the fortune teller in front of him.

"In addition, I also know that the prince has just received a letter from Yingtian. In the letter, the prince's son proposed a plan for the prince to pretend to be sick so that the prince and the prince will return to Beiping for some reason."

Facing Zhu Di's gaze, Yuan Gong remained calm and continued to talk.

At the end, King Yan only asked one question:
"Sir, do you think this plan can be successful?"

Yuan Gong smiled faintly: "If this plan is to succeed, we only need to look at four people."

A dark light flashed across King Yan's eyes, but he still spoke:
"Who?"

"Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Xu Zengshou, and Duke Wei."

……

Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Yunwen rubbed his swollen and painful brows. Despite his young age, two dark spots appeared under his eyes, which made his young face look even more tired.

He had watched the emperor handle government affairs before, and although he knew that being an emperor would be tiring, he never expected it to be so tiring!

Zhu Yunwen felt overwhelmed when he looked at the mountain of memorials.

Especially in the memorials to the emperor, apart from some flattering words praising his achievements, most of them were the nobles' opposition and suggestions on the reform methods.

The tones in these memorials vary in severity.

But no matter what, Zhu Yunwen still felt uncomfortable after seeing it.

This kind of mentality is probably...Are you teaching me how to do things?
Zhu Yunwen frowned and flipped through the memorial in his hand.

Suddenly, he opened the memorial sent by Prince Yan.

Upon seeing this, there was even a deep mark of the word "chuan" (chuan) between Zhu Yunwen's eyebrows.

Prince Yan...is sick?
Moreover, this symptom is related to the previous symptoms...

The content and symptoms in the memorial were well-founded, and what had happened could also serve as evidence. For a while, it was really difficult for Zhu Yunwen to judge whether the memorial from Prince Yan about his illness was true or false.

It's okay if I get sick.

Zhu Yunwen even secretly wished that the Prince of Yan would die of illness, so that the biggest problem of reducing the power of the princes would be solved.

The difficult thing is... he wanted to recall the crown prince and his other sons and return to Peking to take care of him.

In the memorial, Prince Yan's words were extremely cautious and humble, just like a terminally ill father who wanted to see his son for the last time before he died.

His words were so sincere that even Zhu Yunwen was moved.

Zhu Yunwen began to hesitate again.

After thinking for a moment, he cleared his throat and said:

"Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, Huang Zicheng, Imperial Academy Attendant, and Qi Tai, Minister of War, are here to see you."

After saying this, Zhu Yunwen frowned and thought for a moment: "Summon Xu Zengshou to see the emperor again."

I do not know how long it has been.

There were footsteps coming from outside the hall.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and asked them to stand up first. Then he asked the eunuch to pass the memorial in his hand to them and read it first.

After Qi Tai finished reading the contents of the memorial, his first reaction was to speak: "Your Majesty! Zhu Gaoyu and others cannot be released! As long as the Prince of Yan is here, the Prince of Yan will not dare to act rashly. If he is released, the Prince of Yan will have no last scruples in his actions... Your Majesty, you must not release them!"

As the Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu frowned when he heard this.

When Xu Zengshou saw this, his heart suddenly tightened.

Compared with Xu Huizu, who holds a title, Xu Zengshou can be said to be a man of little influence.

My eldest brother has always disliked Zhu Gaoxu and has also ignored Prince Yan. As early as when the late emperor was still alive, he was a staunch royalist.

Now that the Prince of Yan has left the capital, Zhu Gaoyu has been in more frequent contact with the Duke of Wei's Mansion because of Xu Qin.

But who is Xu Huizu?
How could he change his mind and speak up for Zhu Gaoyu and others?
In this situation, if Xu Huizu got involved, Zhu Gaoyu and others might be trapped like trapped beasts and die in Yingtian Prefecture!
