"Some things may not work if you do them."
"But doing nothing will definitely not work."
"If you have an idea and act on it, you have a high probability of success. Your Highness should know this very well."
Yao Guangxiao continued to lie.
Zhu Rui's eyes fell on Yao Guangxiao again and asked coldly: "What do you want to do?"
Yao Guangxiao sighed: "I just want to help you, and I also want to help His Highness King Yan! His Highness King Yan and I cherish each other, we are both superiors and subordinates, and we are friends. He ended up where he is now because of His Highness the Emperor Taisun. . Sometimes, for the sake of my friends, I dare to do anything. Even if there is no possibility for His Highness King Yan in the future, it will be possible for His Highness King Zhou. If you have a good relationship with His Highness King Yan, I can assist His Highness."
Zhu Xi didn't even believe the punctuation in this series of words.
This monk was tossing so many things, it was definitely not just for King Yan, he must have other plans, but Zhu Xi did have thoughts, and when he heard Yao Guangxiao's deception, those thoughts came to him again.
Are you really willing?
Not willing to give in, that’s for sure.
An illegitimate child is not qualified to sit in that position.
Yao Guangxiao added: "Actually, there is one thing that the Ming vassal kings have never been able to see through."
"whats the matter?"
Zhu Xi asked curiously.
"Cutting the feudal lordship!"
Yao Guangxiao said calmly: "Our Ming vassal king is very special and can have military power. When His Majesty was still there, you were still willing to obey the court and could defend the Ming Dynasty, expel enemies and ensure safety. But His Majesty is no longer here, and you have military power. He is a prince, will he have any ideas in the fief? It is impossible! Even if the prince is still there, His Highness King Yan will have some ideas. "
Zhu Xi was silent.
In fact, he knew about the feudal king's problem.
It's just that Yao Guangxiao's words were so direct, and even revealed Zhu Di's rebellion. To his surprise, this monk was really courageous, and he was also very keen on deceiving people to rebel.
"Actually, the person you cannot see through the most is Prince Zhu Biao."
"When he was here, he was already very afraid of you."
"Although the prince's reputation is just and his status cannot be shaken, that's because His Majesty is here to suppress all unstable factors."
"Once His Majesty is gone and the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, for safety reasons and for the sake of having no worries about the future, he will not be easy on the vassal king."
"The word "cutting down the feudal clan" must have appeared in the prince's mind a long time ago. In addition, the current emperor's grandson will definitely want to cut down the feudal clan in the future. Do you really want to give up everything you have now and have everything taken back by the court?"
Yao Guangxiao's somewhat seductive words echoed in the room.
Everything he said pierced Zhu Xi's heart.
Based on his understanding, Prince Zhu Biao may have really had the idea of cutting down the vassal vassal.
The problem of the vassal king is indeed very troublesome.
If Zhu Xi were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he would also want to reduce the vassal status, or raise other brothers like pigs without giving them any power, let alone any military power.
It seems that in the eyes of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the reduction of vassal vassals was a matter of course and something that must be done.
"what you up to?"
Zhu Ru asked again, but this time his tone was much calmer.
Yao Guangxiao laughed and said: "I wanted to lead His Highness to resist. His Highness King Yan resisted, but failed and was demoted to a commoner. From that time on, I realized a shortcoming."
"What's the shortcoming?"
"The resistance of a vassal king is not enough."
"So you just grabbed me?"
"That's not all!"
Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: "With the instructions of His Highness King Yan, I will also win over other vassal kings to form an alliance to resist the emperor's grandson and the reduction of the vassal in the future. The emperor's grandson's performance of cutting the vassal is already obvious. King Yan His Highness was demoted, and the new King of Yan no longer had any power. There was Tiexuan in Beiping, Ping'an in Hetao, and Shengyong in the northwest. These were all his arrangements. Under this arrangement, at least half of the troops in the north of the Ming Dynasty, It is under the control of the emperor’s grandson.”
Zhu Rui does not deny these.
It cannot be denied.
After all, they are all facts.
Yao Guangxiao added: "His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson's plan is to reduce the vassal state. Once implemented, the northern army will immediately suppress the vassal kings in the border areas. The vassal kings in the border areas have the greatest military power. Once they are suppressed, the vassal kings in the interior can easily It’s up to you.”
Zhu Ru frowned worriedly.
Yao Guangxiao put down his wine glass, raised his head slightly, and sighed: "Our emperor's grandson's methods are almost as sharp and ruthless as His Majesty's. If he wants to take action, I'm afraid that none of you, His Royal Highness, will be able to escape, and you will be defeated one by one. Only by joining forces can we create all possibilities.”
It seems that the general trend is to cut down the feudal vassals.
As long as Zhu Xuan comes to power and Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer around, he will definitely carry out the vassal reduction to the end.
"Master, what do you think I should do?"
Zhu Tong is very excited about this alliance. No one wants to be cut off, nor does he want to have his power, wealth, and honor taken away. Plus, he is very unwilling to do so.
"As long as His Royal Highness King Zhou believes in my arrangements, everything is possible!"
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "I am helping His Highness King Yan, and His Highness King Zhou is helping himself. If His Highness agrees, I will be responsible for helping His Highness lobby other Highnesses to form an alliance. If things succeed in the future, Your Highness will still have the opportunity to sit on the throne. That location.”
Zhu Tie sneered, still distrustful of this bad monk's words, and asked: "What about my fourth brother?"
Yao Guangxiao said helplessly: "Your Highness has become a commoner, and now he is used to it. He only wants to protect his brother's power and wealth. He doesn't want to ask for anything more. After that, he just wants to be an ordinary free prince."
Zhu Xi still couldn't believe this sentence.
Zhu Ju knew very well what the fourth child's ambition was.
However, since the cooperation is so hypocritical, other things are no longer important. Let's continue the cooperation first and truly achieve the alliance of the feudal kings.
Maybe to resist and change the situation, they really need to unite as brothers.
Thinking about the end, Zhu Xi nodded slightly.
If you are not willing to give in, then go completely crazy once!
Once the old man is dead, they can do whatever they want.

Categorize.
When Ping An came here, he saw a small town just like this. A large number of merchants gathered in Guihua, and there were also a large number of Monan herdsmen who brought cattle, sheep and other things to Guihua for trade.
It looks quite harmonious.
Ping An knew that these Monan herdsmen were their next targets.
We want them to be naturalized in the Ming Dynasty and become common people in the Ming Dynasty, just like the name of this town.
"General!"
In the first trade, Shen Bin personally came to take charge of the business, worried that the people below him would not be able to do well.
"Boss Shen has a wide network of contacts!"
Ping An smiled and said: "In such a short period of time, so many caravans can be gathered to go north."
Shen Bin did not ask for credit or take any credit. He laughed and said: "It's all His Majesty's kindness that inspired the caravan. This has nothing to do with me. As long as the naturalized horse market can do it, I will feel relieved. I can finally give His Highness a Explain."
The current naturalized horse market is doing very well, it is lively and prosperous, and there are no problems.
But just when Ping An was inspecting the horse market, a soldier from his subordinates came over and said a few words in his ear.
