Xu Da realized the meaning of Zhao Changge's words, and also understood how harmful this matter would be to the Ming Dynasty if Zhao Changge had not lied.
Since ancient times, turmoil caused by changes in imperial power has not been uncommon. Therefore, when His Majesty ascended the throne, in order to avoid such a thing from happening, he established the Crown Prince's orthodoxy and irreplaceable status from the beginning. Later, the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying was born. After that, he also decided on the identity of the emperor's grandson early. His Majesty used this to tell everyone that I have already made plans for the replacement of the throne, so the others should not have undue ambitions in order to This was to ensure the smooth transition of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, whether it is the prince or the grandson, anything that happens to anyone will affect your majesty's plan. Moreover, your majesty and the empress attach great importance to the grandson. The empress has not been in good health. If something happens to the grandson, I am afraid that the empress will be heartbroken. It's all going to break.
Xu Da hesitated for a moment and then stood up directly.
"Okay, I will find a way to get the prince to see you, but how to make the prince believe your words depends on you. The most I can do is help you prove it, but your identity is too bizarre. If you don't see it with your own eyes, , I’m afraid most people can’t believe it.”
"Uncle Xu, you still underestimated your weight in the prince's heart. Don't worry, as long as I can see the prince, there will always be a way to make the prince trust me." Zhao Changge said confidently.
Xu Da knew very well that the emperor's grandson could not tolerate any sloppiness in the matter, so he directly asked Zhao Changge to wait in the study. He would go into the palace to see the prince now.
Zhao Changge naturally had no objections to this. Obtaining Xu Da's trust was his first step, and the prince was also a key part of his plan. He had no status in Hongwu years and could not do many things he wanted to do. , so if you want to change the Ming Dynasty, the first thing you have to do is to improve your status.
When Xu Da came out, he saw his children standing outside the door. Xu Da didn't say a word and immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage to enter the palace.
Seeing their father leaving in a hurry, the brothers and sisters were all confused, and then they saw Zhao Changge drinking tea leisurely in the study.
Xu Huizu and others were a little cautious when facing Zhao Changge, but Xu Miaojin had no such scruples. He ran directly to the study and stared at Zhao Changge and asked, "What did you talk about to my father? Why did he go to the palace in such a hurry? "
Zhao Changge didn't want Xu Miaojin to get involved in these things. After all, there were certain risks, so he didn't say it clearly.
"It's nothing serious. By the way, there will be distinguished guests coming to your house later. Be careful not to bump into the distinguished guests."
Xu Miaojin is not an idiot. The Duke of Wei is the top dignitary in the Ming Dynasty. He can be called a distinguished guest. The first thing Xu Miaojin thinks of is the palace. In addition, his father has entered the palace in a hurry. It is not difficult to guess that his father may I went to the palace to find someone.
Seeing that Zhao Changge was unwilling to say more, Xu Miaojin was very sensible and did not ask further questions.
Xu Da on the other side hurried to the palace, but this time he did not go to see His Majesty, but went straight to the East Palace.
Under normal circumstances, the relationship between Xu Da, a general, and the prince and prince should not be too close. After all, the prince's excessive power would arouse the emperor's fear. However, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Hongwu Dynasty gave full trust to his prince, no matter what. Whether it was an official below or a servant in the palace who was close to the prince, Zhu Yuanzhang never doubted his prince. This kind of trust was extremely rare in ancient times.
When he learned that Xu Da had come to see him, Prince Zhu Biao hurriedly put down what he was busy with and walked to the gate of the East Palace in person to receive Xu Da into the hall. For a senior like Xu Da who followed his father to conquer the world, , Prince Zhu Biao has always been respectful, and will not underestimate these people because of his high status. Without these people throwing their heads and blood, there would not be the Ming Dynasty today, and Wei Guogong rarely takes the initiative Entering the palace and meeting him this time, Prince Zhu Biao felt that there must be something very important, so he paid great attention to it.
"Your Highness, I come here uninvited. I hope you won't be surprised." Xu Da sat on Zhu Biao's right hand side and said to Zhu Biao with his hands raised.
Zhu Biao waved his hand warmly: "Uncle Xu, what are you talking about? You are Gu's elder. It is Gu's honor that you can come to visit Gu. It's just that Uncle Xu, you are always busy and rarely make progress if there is no big thing." Palace, this time I didn’t go to see my father, but I came to see my father. I wonder what advice you have?”
Xu Da looked around, as if he had some words that were difficult to say. Zhu Biao immediately understood and waved his hand to ask everyone to leave.
"Uncle Xu, can you talk now?" Zhu Biao asked with a smile.
Xu Da gritted his teeth. He knew very well how bizarre what he said was, and he didn't expect Zhu Biao to believe it. However, it was about the emperor's eldest grandson, and he still hoped that Zhu Biao would take Zhao Changge seriously.
"The situation is like this..." Xu Da told most of what happened between him and Zhao Changge, but concealed some things that he thought were inconvenient to tell His Highness the Crown Prince. For example, his daughter and Zhao Changge were very close. For the sake of Xu Miaojin's reputation, Xu Da would naturally not say this to the outside world.
After listening to Xu Da's words that seemed like fantasy, Zhu Biao had a complicated expression on his face. If he hadn't known very well that Wei Guogong Xu Da was famous for being rigorous when he followed his father, he would really have doubted whether Xu Da came to follow him. He was kidding.
"Uncle Xu, are you sure you didn't deceive me with what you said?" Even if Zhu Biao trusts Xu Da again, it's really hard to believe in time travel.
Xu Da smiled bitterly: "I know that this kind of thing is really difficult to convince, but it is the fact. I believe that even if His Highness is suspicious, it is best to meet Zhao Changge. After all, it is related to the safety of the emperor's grandson. , I feel that I would rather believe it."
Zhu Biao patted his thigh lightly with his palm a few times, then stood up and made a decision.
"Uncle Xu, you are right. It is related to the safety of Xiongying. Gu cannot be underestimated. As for Zhao Changge you are talking about, Gu is indeed hard to believe, but Gu is also willing to meet him. If he is really a strange person from later generations. , it’s a blessing for me, Daming.”
After all, Zhu Biao has been taught by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child. He has always had his own opinion in doing things, and once he makes a decision, he will not regret it. Immediately, he followed Xu Da and left the East Palace.
Upon receiving the news that Prince Zhu Biao suddenly left the palace, Mao Xiang, then the commander of the Jinyi Guards, immediately told Zhu Yuanzhang about the incident.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Mao Xiang curiously, and then murmured: "Xu Da didn't come to see us, but went directly to Biao'er, and the two of them left the palace together?"
Mao Xiang bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, Duke Wei and His Highness the Crown Prince talked about something. I didn't dare to eavesdrop. But after the two of them finished talking, His Highness the Crown Prince left with Duke Wei."
His general and his prince had a little secret. Any other emperor would have been suspicious, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all.
"Okay, Biao'er always does things in a measured way, so you don't need to worry about him. Just arrange some people to protect Biao'er." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take this matter too seriously.
