Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Prince, a word full of feudal characteristics.

As the son of the emperor, the prince and the emperor have always been a pair with natural conflicts. Except for a few model fathers and sons, the relationship between many princes and emperors is not very good, and there are even considerable conflicts.

The prince wants to be emperor, and the emperor doesn't want to give up his power, it's that simple.

But Emperor Hongxi was different.

The prince of Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi was named Zhu Zhanji, the first son of the current Empress Zhang of the Ming Dynasty. The three words "eldest son" were fully reflected in him. It can be said that except for the Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang who was reborn from the dead, no one in the world had more legal power than Zhu Zhanji to be the next emperor.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanji also had a very good relationship with his father, which was also attributed to Ming Chengzu Zhu Di. Since Zhu Di ascended the throne, he particularly liked his grandson Zhu Zhanji and taught him personally. In a sense, the frail Zhu Gaochi was able to become emperor, which was also due to the contribution of this good grandson.

Therefore, Zhou Li was a little curious why Yu Qian did not mention Zhu Zhanji when he was talking about his own people.

"My eldest nephew..."

The King of Han gloated and said, "He is extremely dissatisfied with you."

"so."

Zhou Li said something strange and asked, "Do I know him?"

"I know him, but I don't know him either."

The King of Han said something very strange, and then laughed, "Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore. Yu Qian, tell him what's going on."

"Prince..."

Yu Qian sighed, a strange look appeared on his face, and he said with difficulty: "The prince has reached the rebellious stage."

?

It was visible to the naked eye that a huge question mark appeared on Zhou Li’s head.

"To be precise, my nephew thinks there is nothing wrong with what the prime minister did. He thinks that as long as the prime minister does not fight for the throne, he is actually a very capable person."

Putting his legs on the table, the King of Han said gloatingly: "Who knew that my nephew's brain was seriously ill and thought that the prime minister would not covet the throne. Now, he is determined to help the prime minister implement the new policy. He said he would not participate, nor would he stop it."

Yu Qian sighed and held his forehead. Obviously, he did not expect the prince to become like this. As the prince's guardian, he felt very ashamed.

"So... didn't you educate him?"

Tang Wan said in disbelief: "Won't the prince's father teach him a lesson? What about the stick? What about the flying elbow? What about the uppercut? What about the swinging punch to the jaw?"

Is this the parent-child game your dad and you usually play?
Obviously, King Han and Yu Qian were both shocked by the Tang family's philosophy of "filial sons are produced through sticks, fists, kicks and elbows". They had never seen such a father-son relationship where the parents enjoyed fighting with each other.

“It’s hard to manage.”

The King of Han shook his head and said with emotion: "My nephew is indeed very capable. He is at odds with his father because his father disagrees with the new policy. You said it's not good for me to get involved, after all, it's his private matter. What's more, my nephew didn't say he would help the prime minister, so I don't bother to care."

"Ah."

Zhou Li took note of it.

Tang Wan on the side began to gloat over the prince's misfortune. She already knew that this prince would not have a good ending. In other words, Zhou Li would not be particularly friendly to the prince until he changed his ways.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing."

Zhou Li looked at the King of Han and Yu Qian and said, "Do you want to hear my plan?"

"nature."

Yu Qian nodded. His tone towards Zhou Li was very gentle, much gentler than when he spoke to the King of Han.

"We are here to cooperate with you."

Throwing an orange to Zhou Li, the King of Han said with a smile: "Boy, you are the commander now."

"Okay." After peeling the orange peel and throwing it into Tang Wan's mouth, Zhou Li leaned forward slightly and said:

"Now we are facing a prime minister who controls two-thirds of the dragon and tiger energy of the Ming Dynasty, has nine-tenths of his followers in the court, and has a meticulous mind and the thinking ability of seventeen genius souls, right?"

"Ah."

The King of Han nodded, "Almost."

"That sounds desperate enough."

Zhou Li said this with a smile, then he thought about it and said, "That's easy."

"Simple?"

The King of Han was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Where is it simple?"

"All of this we are talking about is centered around one person."

Raising a finger, Zhou Li said two words:
"Prime Minister."

The King of Han was stunned and didn't quite understand.

"Mr. Zhou means..."

Yu Qian saw what Zhou Li was thinking, but he wasn't quite sure.

"If it was a ball, everything would be very troublesome. Very troublesome."

Zhou Li made a gesture and then said, "With the prime minister as the center and his followers surrounding him, it is difficult for us to break through such a ball. Because we have to tear open the outer wrapping step by step, and we have to be careful not to let the falling debris hit the Ming Dynasty. All this will become very difficult."

Then, Zhou Li took out a piece of paper from the side and spread it flat on the table, then took a piece of candy from Tang Wan's hand and placed it in the center of the paper.

"But what if they were a piece of paper?"

Zhou Li asked.

"Beheading."

Yu Qian said in a deep voice: "The connection between the prime minister and other officials is deep, but not deep enough. Their connection is based on the fact that the prime minister is powerful. Therefore, as long as the prime minister dies, they will be leaderless and at a loss."

"When the time comes, it will be the best option for us to take them over."

Zhou Li said calmly: "So I said that this matter is actually very simple, because as long as the prime minister dies, or shows that he is not strong enough, our advantage will be established instantly. We only need to push all the sins to the prime minister and let him bear it all, and everything will end smoothly."

The King of Han came to his senses at this time, "You mean, these people surrounded the Prime Minister just because he has a big fist?"

"Yes."

Zhou Li nodded and said calmly: "People have inertia and need a step. The Prime Minister's advantages are obvious, so obvious that they cover up his disadvantages."

"Many relationships in the court are not simply between superiors and subordinates. They include students, former officials, party members, and relatives. These eight words cannot be completely severed in eight years as prime minister."

"The network of relationships he built originated from only himself. He was strong enough, so he could control nine out of ten officials. The prime minister was like a ball filled with water. Once he broke, the water would pour out."

Zhou Li looked out the window, squinted his eyes, and said softly:

"You can't poke him, because you have too many constraints. You are officials in the court, members of the royal family. If you poke the prime minister, you will also be poke at the same time."

"We are different."

Zhou Li stood up holding Tang Wan, with a slight smile on his face.

"I wish I could burst his prostate." (End of this chapter)
