Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 219
Even though it was spring when the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, the atmosphere of the Daming Palace was like autumn, full of desolation.

It's going to change.

When the distance from Zhu Yuanzhang's Zen throne and the day of Zhu Biao's ascension to the throne is getting closer and closer, the world suddenly has an undercurrent.

No one wants to grab more power in the new dynasty, but power is limited, so we must fight, fight, and grab!
The cruelty of political struggle is that you die or I die.

Qi De walked briskly into Wenyuan Pavilion, met with Zhu Biao, and heard the latter's concern.

"Who can manage Liaodong?"

Is this question for Liaodong, no, it's not even a question.

Zid knew that his chance had come.

"Your Highness, the matter in Liaodong is of great importance and involves the stability of the country. The ministers are humble and insignificant, so I dare not speak nonsense."

It seems that Qi De said nothing, but he said too much.

"Yes, the importance of Liaodong involves the stability of the country."

Zhu Biao nodded frequently: "For many years, Liaodong has been in the hands of foreigners, and it was finally recovered by the state. It is the time when the people are determined. The central government must strengthen the management of Liaodong, so I am alone thinking whether to cancel it temporarily. The Liaodong Economic Strategy will be temporarily managed by my lonely brother, and after a few years, Liaodong will be the same as the Inner Province, and then the province will be set up with the third department."

Zid's heart beat wildly.

Sure enough, he guessed right, Zhu Biao has become more and more like Zhu Yuanzhang in the past few years, and he has begun to know what is the art of balance.

Liaodong is too important, and the important thing must belong to the central government, instead of letting a courtier think about how to reform.

"Your Highness is wise."

With Qi De's support, Zhu Biao's own mind became more determined.

Perhaps even Zhu Biao himself didn't notice that since the Liaodong case came out, his trust in foreign ministers was gradually decreasing.

Could Zhang Wei be Chen Yunfu's henchman?

And Chen Yunfu, would he really be a minister of power as the fourth child said?

In such silence, Jixiang brought a piece of information that Zhu Biao was unwilling to but had to believe.

What Zhu Di said was true, Chen Yunfu's behavior outside Beiping City was indeed extremely rampant and rude.

"This kid, it seems that he is indeed floating, and he needs to beat him."

Inside and outside the capital, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking towards the north at this moment.

While waiting like this, Chen Yunfu finally rushed back from Liaodong.

At this moment, it is the middle of the year, and there are less than four months left before the winter solstice.

"You have to be careful. During this period of time, the atmosphere in the capital is not quite right."

Before Chen Yunfu entered the palace, Shao Zhi met the former at the West Chang'an Gate, and whispered a word to Chen Yunfu.

"A few months ago, King Yan came to Beijing, and he didn't know what was going on with the crown prince. During this time, Qi De was frequently summoned by the crown prince."

"He himself is a scholar of Zuochunfang University, so it's common sense to get close to the prince, it's okay."

Chen Yunfu smiled back, and then walked into the palace with a calm expression.

Everything was within his expectations.

Arriving outside Wenyuan Pavilion, Chen Yunfu was summoned by Zhu Biao.

"Yunfu, you are back."

We haven't seen each other for a few months, and now the monarch and ministers are meeting, it would be a lie to say that they don't want to, so Zhu Biao forgot what Zhu Di and Qi De said before, and his heart is only full of brotherhood with Chen Yunfu.

"Let Your Highness wait for a long time."

Chen Yunfu clasped his hands and said: "Originally, we could come back soon, but it's rare to go to Liaodong, so I took a look around. Liaodong is too big, so it will inevitably delay the trip."

"Really, please tell me about the current situation in Liaodong."

Zhu Biao was also interested and wanted to listen to Liaodong's report.

Chen Yunfu naturally talked eloquently, reporting all the current situation in Liaodong, Zhu Biao couldn't help nodding, and finally said with emotion.

"Liaodong has been able to develop so well in the past few years. As a strategy of Liaodong, Zhang Wei still owes a lot to the court."

"Yeah, although the merits are not worth it, after all there is a saying that flaws cannot conceal virtues. This time, it is just a crime committed by local officials. Zhang Wei, as Liaodong Jing, is slightly guilty of negligence."

"So, what's your opinion?"

Chen Yunfu carefully said: "Let Zhang Wei be removed from his post and investigated first. If there is no other act of perverting the law, he will temporarily put it on hold. After two years, the rumors have passed, and he will be reinstated."

"But the great situation in Liaodong cannot be delayed. Zhang Wei has been dismissed. Who can take over Liaodong?"

When Zhu Biao said these words, Qi De, who was also in Wenyuan Pavilion, raised his head instantly and stared at Chen Yunfu with piercing eyes.

"I don't have any suitable candidates to recommend for the time being."

Chen Yunfu frowned, and said cautiously: "Why don't you let the King of Yan take over the power first, what do you think, Your Highness?"

What's the situation?
Zid's eyes widened in disbelief, and then his pupils were instantly ignited with excitement.

This is really a no-brainer.

Chen Yunfu, Chen Yunfu, you've been so smart for a lifetime, this time you have to jump into this fire pit if you don't want to.

Wait for the fire to burn you.

And Zhu Biao was also stunned, never thinking that Chen Yunfu would suggest that Zhu Di be in charge of Liaodong.

Didn't the fourth child say that he and Chen Yunfu were already at odds with each other?

It was agreed that Chen Yunfu had the ambition to cultivate party members.

"Well, let's think about it."

Zhu Biao felt caught off guard, and didn't know how to give an answer for a while, so he said: "Yunfu has been working hard for several months, let's go home first today, and wait until tomorrow, and go to Gu's house for dinner."

"Yes, I retire."

Seeing the back of Chen Yunfu leaving, Zhu Biao turned his head to look at Qi De, and frowned.

"What do you think?"

Qi De suppressed the excitement in his heart, cupped his hands and said solemnly: "I am thinking, what is the relationship between Du Yushi and His Highness King Yan?"

"What do you mean?"

"Could it be that the two of you are inseparable from each other?" Qi De said cautiously: "I heard that there was a brother named Dao Yan in Tianjie Temple before Du Yushi returned to vulgarity, and now he is the guest of His Highness King Yan's house."

"So, the fourth child was acting in front of Gu before? The purpose is to take over Liaodong smoothly."

"It's hard for me to say, but Liaodong has a population of one million and one hundred thousand elites."

At this moment, Qi De has already seen Chen Yunfu's miserable end and the prosperous scene when the feudal clans were abolished.

The one who laughs last will be me!

Zhu Biao remained silent, only feeling that his brain was becoming more and more insufficient. Now he felt that both Zhu Di and Chen Yunfu were fake.

Who can believe what the two say, and who can't?

Turning his eyes to the blue sky outside the hall, Zhu Biao felt that everything in front of him was so confusing.

He couldn't see clearly.

"Prince, His Majesty sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he will leave for Beijing soon."

Ji Xiang hurried to Zhu Biao's ear and delivered an extremely important message.

Zhu Yuanzhang is coming back!
