Chapter 149 Undercurrent
Fang Xiaoru in history was just a scholar.
Today's Fang Xiaoru far exceeds the historical Fang Xiaoru. He is simply not the same person. Whether it is in knowledge or politics, it exceeds that in history.
Politically, when working around Zhu Yuanzhang, Fang Xiaoru could figure out many things without Zhu Yuanzhang's guidance at all. In terms of learning, He Xi brought a great crisis to Confucianism in this era. This kind of stimulation also evolved into the driving force for Fang Xiaoru's progress. He also learned many academic methods and methods brought by He Xi and applied them to Confucianism.
Today, Fang Xiaoru will finally officially appear on the court stage. Not just doing it secretly.
If Fang Xiaoru truly raised the status of civil servants to the level of equality with nobles, then, needless to say, Fang Xiaoru's status as a civil servant leader would be secure.
Fang Xiaoru's thoughts cannot be hidden from anyone who cares.
There is no need to hide it.
This is a conspiracy.
Zhu Yuanzhang fell into a coma, leaving the highest power in the Ming Dynasty vacant. But Zhu Yuanzhang's condition is not serious, and if nothing happens, Zhu Yuanzhang will still wake up. He is not dead.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang wakes up, how will he face what these people are doing now?
Agree? Objection?
It's hard to say.
The only way to avoid censure is probably to pull everyone over, so that the law does not blame everyone.
Xu Da may have thoughts and ideas about the future of the Xu family, but he actually doesn't care too much about Xungui's future. Li Shanchang had the idea of integrating the nobles into one body, so Li Shanchang died. Xu Da didn't dare to have this idea.
Since there is no such idea. The quality of the Xungui Group has nothing to do with Xu Da. All he needs to do is get in touch with the Xu family.
All Xu Da wanted was to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to wake up in peace and nothing would happen.
Others had their own ideas, and Xu Da was willing to provide convenience as long as it did not violate Xu Da's principles. However, Xu Da also knew the relationship between Fang Xiaoru and He Xi, so Xu Da asked He Xi, "What do you think about saving it? "
He Xi looked at Fang Xiaoru and said, "What Mr. Fang said is absolutely true."
Assessing the situation is the basic skill of a minister.
Fang Xiaoru had his own thoughts, but it had to be said that Fang Xiaoru's suggestion was not unreasonable. The most important thing was that Xu Da was tempted.
What Xu Da has been doing these years is to avoid suspicion and to monopolize power. He has never done anything. He Xi even thought that the reason why Xu Da did not suggest calling all the princes and grandsons over was actually to avoid suspicion and to avoid direct contact with these princes. Let the Xu family be suspected of participating in the heir apparent.
Now someone else has suggested that it might be just right.
After all, if the father is ill and the children and grandchildren are not around, no matter how you look at it, it is inappropriate.
Even if He Xi objects, it may not be useful.
He Xi thought to herself: "The situation is getting more and more complicated."
If a secret spreads within a small area, it is possible to keep it secret. However, dozens of Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants were notified one by one. In fact, there was no possibility of keeping it secret. Therefore, these princes all knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously ill and in a coma before entering the palace.

"Fourth brother," King Zhou stopped King Yan's carriage and said, "I came out in a hurry and didn't prepare the carriage, so I asked Fourth Brother to take me for a ride."
King Yan took a deep look at King Zhou and said, "Come up."
King Yan knew that King Zhou simply wanted to say something to King Yan. After all, King Zhou is a prince after all. Can't he find a carriage in Nanjing?
After King Zhou got on the carriage, he told King Yan exactly what Feng Sheng sent to tell him. Finally, he said: "Fourth brother, third brother is now in Taimiao. Fourth brother is the eldest son of my father. When the time comes, I will only have fourth brother to follow suit. Fourth brother, can you tell me the truth? Fourth brother really has no idea about that position." Any ideas?”
King Zhou thought about it for a long time and finally held back.
On the one hand, King Zhou thought of his inheritance in Nanyang. Although the place was small, it was enough to be king. On the other hand, King Zhou was also self-aware and knew that his own was not as good as his fourth brother's. That's why he said this to King Yan.
King Yan was also a little excited.
Now when the emperor passes the throne, he actually has two choices. Passing on to children and grandchildren. When King Jin was in front, King Yan didn't feel it yet, but now King Jin's series of operations have caused King Jin to lose the opportunity. King Yan became the eldest among the princes.
He is also the legitimate son.
The chances of King Yan ascending to the throne were greatly increased.
How could King Yan not be excited? He had no idea about the throne. However, he calmed down immediately. After all, he knew that on the battlefield, the more victory was in sight, the more cautious he had to be. Be careful of the trapped beast fight, the enemy will come back at the last moment.
Anything can happen on the battlefield.
The same is true in politics.
King Yan took a deep breath and said to King Zhou: "It depends on God's will."
"God's will?" King Zhou said.
King Yan said in a serious tone: "God's will."
King Zhou’s rhetorical question was not nonsense. He was sure of King Yan’s implication. The so-called God’s will was Zhu Yuanzhang’s intention. He also understood King Yan’s thoughts. King Yan also wanted to compete for this position, but he only learned from King Jin’s lesson. , it’s not that obvious.
King Zhou said: "My brother has no one else to help me. However, I understand my father-in-law's righteousness and will definitely obey God's will."
The implication of King Zhou was that he was willing to introduce Feng Sheng to King Yan. Persuaded Feng Sheng to support King Yan.
For King Yan, this is naturally good news. But King Yan shook his head and said: "This matter only depends on God's will. God's will is unpredictable. Do your best to obey God's will. Other than that, it is better to do less."
King Zhou said: "My brother understands."
King Zhou had finally made up his mind. After all, he has no desperate ambition to participate in the inheritance. However, in his opinion, it was good to support King Yan. After all, among the brothers, he had the highest relationship with King Yan. He supports King Yan to ascend the throne, and King Yan will not treat him badly in the future.
And the two brothers were not the fastest.
The fastest one to arrive was Zhu Yunwen.
At this moment in Qianqing Palace.
He Xi had to admit that Zhu Yunwen had extraordinary abilities.
Zhu Yuanzhang was ill, and He Xi was very worried. Princess Anqing took care of Zhu Yuanzhang with all her heart. Staying by the bedside. But compared with Zhu Yunwen, he is far behind. ,
Even though He Xi was complaining deep down that Zhu Yunwen was putting on a show. But He Xi also admires him for being able to show off to this level.
Almost everything about Zhu Yuanzhang, including his excrement and urine, was handled by Zhu Yunwen. Except for convenience, he knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's bed, with tears in his eyes, and was extremely sincere. It seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang was not allowed to leave his sight for a moment.
It seems that Princess Anqing doesn't care anymore.
That's not to say that Princess Anqing doesn't know how to urinate and feces. It's just that there are people who do such things. What do so many maids and eunuchs in the Qing Palace do? Do you need Princess Anqing to do it yourself? Well, even if Princess Anqing wants to take action, He Xi doesn't think Princess Anqing can do it well. After all, Princess Anqing has never done anything like serving others since she was a child.
I want to do it, but I don’t know where to start.
It's better to leave it to the people around you.
It's just that the same is true for Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen's level of wealth and wealth since childhood was only higher than that of Princess Anqing, not lower than Princess Anqing. Princess Anqing had not done the same thing, so how could Zhu Yunwen have done it? But at this moment, it doesn't matter whether Zhu Yunwen has done it or not, whether he has done it well or not.
The important thing is that Zhu Yunwen played his cards to seize the throne.
Just the word "filial piety".
He Xi didn't know whether Zhu Yunwen thought of it himself or who pointed it out. After all, bringing out filial piety when seizing a legitimate son is an old practice and nothing new at all. Legend has it that when Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were fighting for the throne, Cao Cao was about to go on an expedition. Cao Zhi wrote an article eloquently, wishing Cao Cao a victory. When Cao Pi said goodbye, he wept silently and looked worried about Cao Cao.
It made Cao Cao feel that Cao Zhi was frivolous and not as sincere as Cao Pi.
It is also said that when Xianfeng and Prince Gong were fighting for the throne, the two went out hunting. Prince Gong had many prey, but Xianfeng did not get any. Daoguang asked the reason, and Xianfeng said that he remembered that it was spring and the female beast was pregnant, and he couldn't bear it.
So Xianfeng won.
Some people died, but not completely...
