Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 37 Zhu Di enters Daning alone

"Well, you are right. I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and my fourth uncle is just a vassal king. Although he has some abilities, his strength is far inferior to mine." Zhu Yunwen nodded, agreeing with Li Jinglong's statement.

Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say but I'm not sure whether I should say it or not."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here. If there is anything you want to say, just say it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is highly unlikely that the Prince of Yan will raise an army."

"Oh? Fourth uncle won't start a rebellion? What do you mean?" Zhu Yunwen looked at Li Jinglong with curiosity.

Li Jinglong organized his words and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that the Prince of Yan's current actions are more like a fierce appearance, but in fact he is extremely fearful. He seems to be fierce and vicious, but in fact he is extremely fearful. He has only one purpose, and that is to make Your Majesty give up the idea of ​​reducing the power of the vassal states."

"That makes sense!" Zhu Yunwen nodded thoughtfully. Then, with a wry smile on his face, he said, "But, there's no way I'll give up on reducing the power of the feudal lords."

"Yes, so I think the King of Yan will compromise in the end and agree to reduce the power of the princes." Li Jinglong nodded.

"Will my fourth uncle agree to reduce the power of the princes? Is that true?" Zhu Yunwen was a little confused. However, if Zhu Di could agree to reduce the power of the princes, that would be perfect.

"Of course it will, but before that, Your Majesty must not push Prince Yan too hard, lest Prince Yan become desperate and do something desperate. After all, even a rabbit bites when it is cornered." Li Jinglong said.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "Jinglong, you are right. We really can't push Fourth Uncle too hard."

The next second, he reached out and patted Li Jinglong's shoulder, smiling and saying, "Alright, you just came back, you must be exhausted, right? Go back and have a good rest."

"I'm taking my leave!" Li Jinglong bowed and turned to leave.

After Li Jinglong left, Zhu Yunwen looked up in the direction of Beiping and thought to himself, "Fourth Uncle, will you really surrender? I'm really looking forward to that day!"

Daning!

Zhu Quan's eyes widened as he looked at his son Zhu Panyu in front of him and said, "Son, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Tell me again, who's here?"

"Dad, the Fourth Prince is here." Zhu Panyan repeated with a wry smile.

"Why is Fourth Brother here?" Zhu Quan frowned, his heart full of doubts.

After a while, he calmed down and asked, "How many people did Fourth Brother bring with him?"

Zhu Panyan said, "I only brought a few guards."

"You only brought a few guards? Are you sure?" Zhu Quan's face was full of disbelief.

"Sure!" Zhu Panyan nodded.

"What's going on? What on earth is Fourth Brother doing?" Zhu Quan frowned even deeper, pondering Zhu Di's purpose.

"Dad, should I send the Fourth Prince away or bring him here?" Zhu Panyan asked.

"Bring him here." Zhu Quan let out a long breath and waved his hand.

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what Zhu Di was doing. However, since he was here, and alone, it would be better to meet him. Anyway, Zhu Di couldn't cause any trouble.

Daning is his territory.

He was afraid of Zhu Di, but in his territory, Zhu Di only brought a few guards with him, so he was not scared enough to meet him.

"Yes, Dad!" Zhu Panyan nodded and turned to leave.

It didn't take long.

Zhu Panyan, smiling broadly, led the way, followed by Zhu Di. "Fourth Prince, please!"

"Dad, the Fourth Prince is here."

Inside the room, Zhu Quan heard Zhu Panyan's words and took the initiative to go out to greet him with a smile on his face: "Fourth brother!"

"Seventeenth brother!"

Zhu Quan took Zhu Di's hand and they walked into the house. "Everyone, follow me." Zhu Panyan said to Zhang Wu and others with a smile.

Zhang Wu and others did not agree and looked at Zhu Di.

"Go." Zhu Di waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Wu bowed.

"It's my duty." Zhu Panyan took Zhang Wu and others away.

Only the brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Quan were left in the room.

"Fourth brother, you are a very busy man. How do you have time to come to me?" Zhu Quan asked tentatively.

"Haha!" Zhu Di smiled and said, "Seventeenth brother, I have an important matter that I want to discuss with you."

"Fourth brother, I'm living a good life now, but I don't want to struggle anymore." Zhu Quan shook his head. He understood what Zhu Di wanted to say and interrupted him directly.

Although he was also very resistant to Zhu Yunwen's reduction of the power of the princes, he did not want to rebel.

"Seventeenth brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse. You should listen to what I have to say first before you agree or not, right?" Zhu Di said with a smile.

Zhu Quan's smile faded, and he said, "Fourth brother, I won't hide it from you. Although I am also very dissatisfied with Yunwen's reduction of the feudal system, I will never rebel. Moreover, I will not give you any help. Of course, I will not capture you and ask for credit in front of Yunwen."

He had made the decision not to help either side, and it would not change at this moment.

"Seventeenth brother, we are brothers. Now is the time when I need help the most, but you don't help me. I'm afraid this won't work." Zhu Di still had a smile on his face and his expression was still very calm.

Zhu Quan's expression turned completely cold, and he said, "Zhu Di, don't force me!"

He knew that Zhu Di coming to see him at this time must be nothing good.

However, he was not afraid at all. Daning was his territory. Unless Zhu Di directly led his troops to fight him, he was really not afraid at all.

"Clap!"

Zhu Di did not continue speaking, but clapped his hands.

"Hmm?" Zhu Quan frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Boom!"

Tuoerhuocha, Azhashili, and Haisanandaxi walked in and said, "Your Highness!"

"Toerhuocha, Azhashili, Haisanandaxi, why are you three here?" Zhu Quan was stunned. He did not summon the three.

He soon realized that the "Prince" called by Toerhuocha, Azhashili and Haisanandaxi was not referring to him, but to Zhu Di.

In an instant, his face darkened, filled with anger: "You three are traitors, how dare you betray me."

Tuoerhuocha, Azhashili and Haisanandaxi had no expression on their faces.

Zhu Di stood up and walked to Zhu Quan, reached out and patted Zhu Quan's shoulder, with a faint smile on his face: "Seventeenth brother, calm down."

Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Di in front of him with a changeable expression.

After a long moment, he seemed to have lost all his strength and said, "Fourth Brother, you really have a good way. I've been very careful, but I didn't expect you to trick me. Can you tell me when you hooked up with these three guys?"

"Seventeenth brother, there is no point in saying this now." Zhu Di said slowly.

Zhu Quan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right!"

"What do you think? Join forces with me? Let's work together to drive that kid Yunwen off the throne, and then you and I brothers will rule the Ming Dynasty together." Zhu Di made an invitation.

Zhu Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Fourth brother, do I still have the right to refuse now?"
