King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

This is said.

There was silence in the hall. Zhu Gaochi was silent on the spot, totally at a loss as to how to answer this question.

Yes!

Civil officials are not good people, they are not innocent people.

Can those students who are selected to study really be good people?

Obviously this is unlikely and unrealistic.
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. One point can tell the whole picture.

no doubt
As long as we check certain people, we will definitely be able to find out what happened, and the things involved are definitely not trivial matters.

After a brief silence, Zhu Gaochi showed a look of surprise, raised his head and looked back, unsure of what Zhu Gaoxu wanted to do, and spoke carefully:

"Second brother..."

"You you you...what do you mean?"

"Are you planning to take this opportunity to attack those students from the Hanlin Academy?"

"no……"

"You are too brave, aren't you?"

"Do you know what it means to attack the students of the Hanlin Academy?"

"How many people's interests will be affected by this, how many people will I stand against because of this, and how many people will become a thorn in their eyes and flesh?"

"What on earth are you thinking about?"

"Are you really going to die? How dare you do this?"

"This, this, this...if we really do this, it will easily cause big problems."

"I suggest you think twice about this matter. You'd better think twice about it!"

"This matter is not as simple as you think, not as easy as you think."

"If you are not careful, you will put yourself in an irretrievable situation."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and saw the prince who was constantly admonishing him with a nervous look on his face. He was not shaken at all, smiled, raised his hand and waved at him, saying:

"Boss..."

"You don't have to worry about this."

"I know what to do, and I will never act recklessly on this matter."

"As for the current situation, serious illnesses require strong medicines. There is absolutely no way to drag it out and try to handle this matter lightly."

“There are some things that you don’t let certain people be afraid of, and you don’t let certain people be afraid of.”

"Some people will only think that weakness is easy to bully, and will never be afraid of it. They like to make trouble for you behind your back, and choose to pretend to obey you in many things."

"Moreover……"

"From now on, this Ming dynasty is yours, not mine."

"What do I have to fear?"

"I don't need their support, their understanding or to do things for me."

"For this reason, why should I give them a lecture with a smile, and a lecture that others will sneer at?"

“It makes absolutely no sense.”

"The most important thing right now is to be ruthless."

"so……"

"Boss, you don't need to worry about this matter. Just watch from the sidelines. You don't need to get involved in the rest of the things. Just be a good man and a peacemaker. Try your best to be a good person in this matter and improve your prestige among these people. You don't need to know anything about other things and you don't need to care about anything."

"Do you understand?"

That's what I said.

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's decisive and earnest words.

It can be said that Zhu Gaochi was stunned on the spot, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer this question.

Let him not have to worry about anything, let him be a good person in the middle, and improve his status and prestige in the hearts of these people.

To tell the truth.

Zhu Gaochi never imagined in his dreams that the King of Han before him could do this for him.

You know, I’m grateful to be able to do such a thing for him!
If this matter was really implemented as Zhu Gaoxu had envisioned, there would be no doubt that Zhu Gaoxu had truly cut off his path to the throne of the Ming Dynasty and had completely destroyed it with his own hands!
After a long time, Zhu Gaochi spoke in a halting and hesitant voice:
"No, no, no… no."

"Second brother...you you you you..."

"What do you want my brother to do? How should he deal with it?"

"you……"

In the end, even though Zhu Gaochi was eloquent, he didn't know what to say.

Isn’t that wrong?
Others are wholeheartedly doing things for his own good, without any selfish motives or other thoughts.

Is that right?

Zhu Gaoxu's sudden action and such a layout really made him a little overwhelmed, and he felt like he had no idea where to start.

It was such a sudden good thing that he didn't know what to do or how to deal with the current situation.

Talk and talk.

In the final analysis, the most important point. Before this, although he, as the eldest brother, looked like he trusted the King of Han in front of him, he really trusted him in his heart.

For this reason, I was caught off guard by what was happening in front of me and didn't know how to deal with it.

In the end, he just stood there in a daze.

After a long while, Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at the prince beside him. He roughly guessed what he was thinking and why he looked like that. He couldn't help but laugh, reached out and gently patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"What?"

"Can't bear it, or can't bear it?"

"Hahaha……"

"Don't be so sentimental, don't be so... Don't worry, we know what's going on."

"But now that things have started, you can rest assured!"

"As for the Ming Dynasty, I really have no intention of competing with you."

"This time, a group of people were cleared out, which can calm many people down."

"This will make many people behave themselves, and it will also be beneficial to the implementation of our subsequent plans."

"So don't worry, I'm doing this not only for you, but also for the future of the Zhu family."

Although the words were light and casual, the meaning contained in them still made Zhu Gaochi look sideways. His heart was inevitably a little agitated, and his face showed a little emotion. He half-closed his eyes and stared at Zhu Gaoxu, who was very close to him, for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but sighed, showing a little helplessness. He pointed at Zhu Gaoxu and shook his head and said:

"Second brother! Second child!"

"You are such a complete jerk. I really don't know what to say to you."

"Hey"

"Okay, okay, okay, since you have decided so, then everything will proceed as you envisioned!"

"Don't worry about this matter. As your elder brother, I will never let you down, will never hold you back, and will not make things difficult for you." "I will cooperate with you without reservation to carry out the current things. If something uncontrollable happens, I, as your elder brother, will definitely not let you bear and face it alone."

"So many years."

"I have always been very cautious. I dare not do many things and I dare not say many words."

"As for the current situation, let's go crazy with you."

"Hahaha"

"Brothers are united, and their profits will break the gold."

Hearing this and seeing the appearance of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look sideways slightly. He looked back in disbelief, unable to believe his ears and eyes.

To tell the truth.

He really didn't expect that the prince, who was usually cautious and prudent, could actually say such words and express such an attitude so bluntly.

His originally silent and solemn expression slowly melted away in the unknown plot, and his smile was no longer as perfunctory as before. He turned his head and stared at Zhu Gaochi with interest for a long while, then reached out and put his arm around the prince's fat and broad shoulders, laughing: "Hahaha, good, good. With your words, we can rest assured about this matter."

Da da da.
at this time.

As the two were talking happily, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall which was filled with hearty laughter, pulling their cheerful mood back. They couldn't help but look towards the place where the sound came from.

The figure that came into view was none other than Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, who had responded to the call and rushed over as quickly as possible.

Feeling the two gazes focused on him, Ji Gang couldn't help but tense up. He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and quickly bowed his hands, hunched over and said:
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty the Prince of Han, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I wonder if you, my Lords, have any important business to tell me in such a hurry to summon me?"

After hearing this, the two brothers looked at each other. Zhu Gaoxu nodded to the prince imperceptibly, indicating that he would handle the matter. Then his face suddenly darkened and his expression became extremely serious. He said:
"Ji Gang."

"As the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, you should be aware of what happened in the court today, right?"

"There is no need for me to explain this matter to you one by one, right?"

Ji Gang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know a thing or two."

After receiving a definite answer, Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay! I'm glad to know."

"In that case, let's not introduce it in detail."

"Today, all the courtiers who are attending the court session, you and the king will closely monitor everyone and record every action of everyone in detail. This will be of great use to the king."

"If you discover someone doing something wrong, you don't need to take action in advance. Just report it in detail."

"As for the rest, I will wait until everyone is gathered together and then I will deal with them."

"Do you understand?"

This statement.

It was said so bluntly, what could he not understand?
Isn't it just the worry that someone is doing bad things behind the scenes and instigating certain people to gather and cause trouble?

This is the only thing he has in mind.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, Ji Gang turned to the two people on the stage and respectfully bowed his hands, saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do and will never give the thieves any chance to take advantage of me."

"but."

Ji Gang paused as he spoke, as if he had thought of something. His expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he spoke carefully:

"This matter is of great importance. I don't have the ability to conceal it from Your Majesty, nor do I dare to hide it from Your Majesty."

"so."

"I will report everything that happens in the near future to your Majesty in detail."

"I hope the prince and His Highness will not blame me for this matter."

"It is indeed my duty as a humble official."

Yo ho.

What else did you think it was?

It turned out that he wanted to report this matter to Emperor Yongle who was on an expedition to the northern desert!
Naturally, the two of them would not have any objections to this. After all, Ji Gang was able to seek truth from facts and put the matter out in the open in front of the two of them. This was not only giving the two of them a huge face, but also a violation of the Jinyiwei's proper duties.

When others give them face, they naturally won't act arrogantly.

Then, the two looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, nodded at him without comment, and laughed at the same time, waved their hands and replied:

"No problem."

"For this matter, please follow the normal procedures and report what needs to be reported. We have no objection."

"As for the old man, you should inform him and report it as required."

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, you can leave first!"

"Yes! I will take my leave!"

Ji Gang bowed his body and quickly retreated.

Then, the whole hall fell silent again. Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Crown Prince beside him, pondered for a moment and asked:
"Boss, do you have anything else to discuss?"

"If not, how about we brothers go back to our own homes and prepare for what we need to do right now?"

to this end.

Zhu Gaochi paused, frowned and thought for a moment, then replied:

"Fine!"

"Everything that needs to be said and done has been done."

"There's nothing going on here, so let's just say goodbye!"

Say it.

Zhu Gaochi turned around and walked down the stairs without any hesitation, and waved at Zhu Gaoxu with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something in his mind. A cold and stern expression emerged on his originally calm face. He looked at the figure of the prince who disappeared at the gate and muttered to himself in a low voice:

"Boss"

"We have made it clear what we should do and what we should say."

"I hope you can take care of yourself in this matter, and don't be stubborn and try to be cunning about certain things."

"If not, you'd really be going too far."

"I'm afraid our anger is not so easy to bear."

at the same time.

Compared with the indignation of the civil and military officials who left the palace and retired from court, the military generals seemed to be indifferent to the matter and did not take it to heart at all. Therefore, this matter had no impact on them at all, and would not pose any threat to their interests and positions. In a sense, for all the military generals and meritorious soldiers, this move was of great benefit to them.

Why?

There is no need to say much or doubt about Mohist's ability. The warships floating on the river have already explained everything.

For military generals, they naturally hope that the weapons provided by the court will be as powerful as possible, so that they can be invincible in battle, completely ignore the enemy and bravely make military achievements.

Naturally, these military generals would be happy to see this happen.

Compared to the military commanders, the civil officials looked at each other with extremely disgusted and uncomfortable expressions, which were even uglier than if they had eaten a fly. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say. (End of this chapter)
