Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood.
Immediately, he took Jiang Yu and Rujun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and left the palace directly.
The palace of Prince Yan in the capital.
"Your Highness, a message has been sent that the tomb we arranged has been found by the Jin Yiwei." Yao Guangxiao said.
Of course he didn't dare let anyone track Jin Yiwei's whereabouts.
But he can arrange for people to observe the location of the fake tomb at all times. When the Jin Yiwei people come to investigate, they will know it.
"Okay, since we can get the news, Jin Yiwei must have reported the situation to his father." Zhu Di said with a smile.
So far, the implementation of the plan seems to be going very smoothly.
Not only did his father's suspicion of him gradually weaken, but the back-up plan of the arrangement was also revealed one by one.
The only thing I'm worried about is Xiaoling.
"The construction of the Xiaoling Mausoleum started yesterday. This is the key right now. As long as the coffin cannot be found, my father will have no doubts about Zhu Ying."
"Even if there is even the slightest suspicion, given my father's love for my eldest nephew, I will force him to take the throne."
Zhu Di said analytically.
During this period of time, he could already feel his father's doting on Zhu Ying.
The most obvious thing is that news came from the palace that the father no longer loves his nephew Zhu Yunwen as much as before.
It turned out that he took his comments and memorials with him every day and personally taught him the experience of governing the world.
Now I am starting to gradually distance myself from him.
If others couldn't notice anything unusual, Zhu Di knew that his father's thoughts were no longer on Zhu Yunwen.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. His Majesty King Yu's mausoleum is deep underground and difficult to dig. If it is damaged even slightly, it will collapse again."
"Furthermore, based on what the poor monk has seen, even if the coffin of His Royal Highness Prince Yu is really found by His Majesty, after an autopsy is conducted, His Majesty will most likely believe that it is Li Daitao who has died."
After Yao Guangxiao finished speaking, he thought carefully and frowned and asked: "The poor monk heard from Your Highness that King Yu grew up with Your Majesty and the Queen since childhood. I don't know if there are any other differences."
After Zhu Di heard this, he thought for a while and said: "I have never heard of this king, but ten years have passed, and there must be some subtleties that I can't find."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di was still vaguely worried.
The royal palace is different from ordinary people.
The body will be processed before burial, just like the coffin of Prince Zhu Biao. It is placed in Renzhi Hall without any smell of decay.
Moreover, the royal coffin is a stone coffin within a wooden coffin. It may not have deteriorated too much in ten years.
"Your Highness, please don't worry too much. I think the personal guards sent by Your Highness will definitely take care of this matter." Yao Guangxiao saw that Zhu Di looked a little wrong and said.
Zhu Di nodded and said, "I hope so."
Zhu Ying is his only hope for the throne, and all his trust lies in his father.
As long as the father recognizes Zhu Ying, then through observation during this period, it is very likely that Zhu Yunwen will be revoked from his position as grandson.
My father is old and does not have much time left.
According to the current average age of the Ming Dynasty, his father's sixty years old is already considered a long life.
When my eldest brother passed away, my father almost fainted with grief.
Although it is unfilial to think like this, Zhu Di must make plans in advance now.
In Zhu Di's view, as long as Zhu Ying sits on the throne.
After his father died, he would have enough reasons to drive Zhu Ying away.
How could such a ridiculous thing as the resurrection of a person who had been dead for ten years be accepted by the world?
It's just that the father is currently in the middle of the situation and his eyes are covered by his love, so he insists on thinking so.
When the time comes, dig it all out yourself.
Who else is more suitable to sit on the throne than himself.
"Your Highness, this poor monk is going out to make some arrangements for Your Majesty in the future."
After the chat, Yao Guangxiao stood up and said.
Even if Zhu Ying really takes the throne, Yao Guangxiao knows that it will not take a few words to overthrow him.
With His Majesty's temperament, as long as Zhu Ying is confirmed to inherit the throne, it is very likely that he will be able to clear all obstacles for him.
What Yao Guangxiao has to do is to find ways to make Zhu Di able to overthrow Zhu Ying after he takes the throne.
Among them, raising troops is one aspect. What is more important is the great cause.
Otherwise, if Zhu Ying really secures the throne, it will be a waste of money.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di nodded and stood up.
Of course he also understands Yao Guangxiao's thoughts, including the difficulty after Zhu Ying takes office.
Whether Zhu Ying could overthrow him when he came to power is actually a matter of two minds.
But this is his only hope.
Now, of course, he could not have imagined that Zhu Yunwen would act like that after he came to the throne.
Now Zhu Yunwen is very hidden. Not only Zhu Di, but even Zhu Yuanzhang cannot see that the kind and generous Zhu Yunwen turned out to be so cruel after he came to the throne.
If Zhu Di had known that Zhu Yunqi had only been on the throne for four years, and then he had made a fool of himself and was deprived of the throne by himself, how would he care about Zhu Ying?
The first time I saw it, I should have killed it.
"Everything is troublesome, Master." Zhu Di bowed to Yao Guangxiao and said.
It was not convenient for Zhu Di to come forward for these matters, so he could only rely on Yao Guangxiao to arrange them secretly.
"Your Highness, don't worry, this poor monk will do his best." Yao Guangxiao vowed.
It was at this time.
Excavations have already begun at Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Naturally, not all of the three thousand civilians are on board, so this is the overall arrangement for the excavation.
Less than a thousand civilians actually participated in the excavation.
More civilians need to carry the excavated soil elsewhere.
After the excavation is complete, pick it back and fill it in.
In just one day, the entire Mausoleum of King Yu had dropped four to five meters deep.
This is because they are worried that the ground will collapse again, otherwise the speed will be faster.
The further down you go, the more attention you need to pay attention to.
Among the many civilians digging, there were three rather burly men.
The three of them looked at each other inadvertently and understood.
They are the personal guards arranged by Zhu Di. They have just started digging now and are still lurking.
Before coming, Yao Guangxiao had already explained the general geographical situation to them.
When they dig a dozen meters deeper and reach the underground river, it's time for them to sacrifice themselves.
The outer city of the capital.
Rujun, the Minister of War, followed His Majesty closely, and next to him was Jiang Yu, who gave some explanations.
For example, don't be too shocked when you see Zhu Ying.
The name His Majesty uses externally and the official position he falsely claims.
These must be clear, otherwise if the secret is exposed and embarrass His Majesty, the consequences will be self-evident.
As a young boy, Rujun has great ambitions, is smart and eager to learn.
I have a photographic memory of Tang poetry and Song lyrics. I can recite poems from thousands of schools of thought at the age of six, and I have read "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" by heart at the age of ten.
At the age of sixteen, he was selected by Gongsheng students to study in the Imperial College. After entering the Imperial Academy, he studied with the current prince, relatives of the emperor, and princes.
He was the core of the princelings among civil servants. Even if the prince passed away, he was still valued by Zhu Yuanzhang.
After hearing Jiang Yu's story, Ru Yu frowned deeply.
He didn't quite agree with Zhu Ying, who he hadn't met yet.
Such strange power and chaos as being resurrected from the dead is a fantasy to Ru Rui.
Among them, there must be someone secretly plotting to bring trouble to Chaogang!
Thinking of this, determination flashed in Ru Ru's eyes.
When we meet later, he must observe carefully and look for flaws.
Even if I die, I must make His Majesty change his mind.
How could the brilliant Ming Dynasty be stolen by conspirators and sinister villains?
