Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 363;

King Ning was completely dumbfounded.

Speaking of King Ning, even though he was born in the emperor's family, his scheming is far superior to that of his peers.

But he was protected very well since he was a child. He was so smart that he was so smart, but he also had some innocence.

"How could this be? Why did my father do this?"

He couldn't figure out whether he was his father's own son, or the most favored son.

But why is he so guarded against himself?

"Why do you do this? Because he is in his prime, and because your uncle is too powerful."

"If you think about it, if you become the crown prince, he is still in his prime. Maybe it won't be so good at the beginning, but after a long time, will you be willing to be overwhelmed all the time?"

King Ning shook his head, who would like to be crushed.

Especially for the second place in the world, it will indeed be aggrieved to be suppressed last time.

"So, if you want to be in power, your uncle must hand over all his military power to break His Majesty's fear."

"But do you think that's possible?"

"Even if your uncle is willing, I will not agree, because the military power in your uncle's hand is the amulet of our mother and son. If it is gone, how will our mother and son protect themselves in this deep palace compound?"

You must know that there are many concubines in Emperor Hongwen's harem with profound backgrounds.

Especially Concubine Dong Gui, who was demoted some time ago, even though she was demoted, the power behind her is very strong, if the power behind her really moves.

Emperor Hongwen was afraid that she would be promoted to the position of imperial concubine again in an instant.

Apart from Concubine Dong Gui, there are several young concubines standing behind them, either from aristocratic families or nobles.

Emperor Hongwen is still young now, who knows if there will be another prince born in the future?
If there is no protection from the power of the Zhen Guo Gongfu, what if King Ning is allowed to sit on the crown prince?

Since ancient times, how many princes have been deposed?

King Ning nodded in understanding. It is absolutely impossible to give up his military power. It is his only backing. If it is gone, what is the use of being a prince?

"In this case, shouldn't the minister gather more strength? Why are you still?"

"Stupid child, it is right to accumulate strength, but it must be accumulated secretly. Lu Yaoyao's energy is too great, and your purpose of marrying her is too obvious."

"How could your father not see it?"

"What you have to do now is to hide your strength and bide your time."

The queen paused and continued; "Next year you will enter the six ministries. If your father asks which one you want to go to, don't choose the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households. These two goals are too big. The best choice is The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites."

"One more thing, during the term of office, even if you want to win over the courtiers, you have to hide it carefully and slowly accumulate strength."

"Since your father is afraid, we can only transfer the power on the surface to the ground."

This is the result of her discussion with Lord Zhen Guo. What she wants is to wait for King Ning to enter the Sixth Division and secretly accumulate strength.

The Duke of Zhen has delegated power a little bit, and in this way, their power has been transferred from the ground to the ground.

It can greatly reduce the vigilance of Emperor Hongwen, and wait until the time is right to win the position of the crown prince.

"My son understands, thank you for reminding me, Queen Mother."

King Ning also understood everything at this time.

"Mr. Zeng's proposal is very good. Although it failed this time, he is really thinking about you. You must not neglect it after you go back."

"Study well with him."

"Your servant can save you."

Came here in high spirits, but returned in disappointment. King Ning almost trotted when he came, but now he is a bit decadent to leave.

Back at the palace, Zeng Guang immediately came over to inquire, but King Ning's words frightened Zeng Guang to death, and he quickly bowed his hands and bowed down.

"I took it for granted. I almost made a big mistake. I implore the prince to come down."

"Sir, what's wrong?"

King Ning shook his head, helped Zeng Guang up himself, and said with a smile, "I have felt your heart, sir."

"My lord is aware of your talent. You just arrived in the capital not long ago, and you haven't observed the situation here carefully enough."

Very soon, some cold sweat broke out on Zeng Guang's back.

This statement is true at that time, his understanding of most parties in the capital is still a bit too one-sided.

As for King Ning, he took it too much for granted.

After all, in the past few years, Emperor Hongwen's love for King Ning was known to the whole world, and his impression was deep, so he naturally took it for granted.

Hearing the queens' words repeated by King Ning just now, he immediately thought of many things.

It seems that King Ning's situation is not as good as he originally imagined, and even a little dangerous. If he is a little careless, he may not have good results.

"The empress made a lot of analysis. I almost harmed His Highness. In the days to come, I will definitely understand the situation of each family in the capital. There will never be such a mistake again."

"The king trusts sir."

King Ning still believed in Zeng Guang's talent. Although he made a mistake this time, as someone who knew the situation in the capital, he didn't think about it. How long has he been here?

"I heard that King Ning has entered the palace?"

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwen asked Wang De beside him without raising his head.

"Yes, I went to Fengqi Palace, withdrew the slaves, and spent a quarter of an hour alone with the empress."

"I was not in a good mood when I left."

Emperor Hongwen nodded and did not continue speaking.

The next few days were quite stable. After what happened last time, King Ning already understood the meaning of what the queen said, and Zeng Guang was on the sidelines to guide him.

He's been keeping a low profile lately.

And the strangest thing is the Han family. During this period of time, their business in the capital has been greatly impacted.

The salt mobilized from around was hardly sold, and even if the price was lowered to be the same as snowflake salt, no one cared.

Those people would rather wait for Snowflake Salt than patronize them.

In the end, the Han family had to lower the price again. With so many goods, it cost a lot to ship them, and it was impossible to return them all.

After all, it will consume more this time around.

It's better to sell it directly at a lower price, and you can get some back more or less.

It's a pity that even if they cut the price lower than Snowflake Salt, there are still no patrons.

It is worth mentioning that after hearing the news, the patriarch Han was uncharacteristically not angry, let alone calling for someone to deal with Lu Yaoyao.

For such stability, Lu Yaoyao is also happy to be at ease.

It's freezing cold outside, she doesn't have the mind to go for a stroll outside to do some work or something.

After all, she has done a lot of things this year, and now it's time to rest.

"Miss, the second master is here."

Qiu Yu came in from the outside and reported loudly.

"Second uncle is here? Where is he?"

Lu Yaoyao put down the book in her hand and got up to go out, but before she went out, Lu Kang walked in from outside with a smile on her face.

Behind him was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as him.

After sizing it up, Lu Yaoyao frowned slightly. She had never seen this person before, and she didn't know him at all.

What did the second uncle bring him here for?
