Chapter 144: The fish die and the net breaks

Ji Gang's mood is not as warm as this spring March.

He almost had a bad face. When all the people from the Hanlin Academy retreated, he looked around the military officers of the garrison office and shouted: "Everyone retreats, Hao Fenglou, stay!"

Everyone dared not be negligent and said goodbye.

Only Ji Gang and Hao Fenglou were left in the hall. Ji Gang almost took a step forward, grabbed Hao Fenglou's collar and stared at Hao Fenglou: "Boy, you're crazy. Are you going to kill everyone for a few redundant personnel who have been abolished? Do you know that Your Majesty had already ordered His Highness the King of Han to be a vassal, and the prince was also eyeing him and was waiting for the opportunity. Do you know that if you make such a fuss today, your Majesty will make His Majesty determined. Do you know how many people will get in? Now, the King of Han and I will be killed by you!"

Ji Gang's eyes were red. He was one of the few people around Han King who were more sober about the current situation.

Now His Majesty has confirmed the crown prince. The purpose of doing this is of course to cut off the Han King's thoughts and save the brothers from fighting each other. Under this background, His Majesty has always hoped that the Han King would be able to become a vassal, but the Han King was lying in the capital. As a father, Zhu Di was obviously hesitant.

But Hao Fenglou directly incited the Jinyiwei to fight against the prince. What would the emperor think? In his opinion, the Jinyiwei was Ji Gang, and Ji Gang was the King of Han. How could he not doubt that it was the King of Han who was provoking and wanted to kill each other.

The two people present, whether Ji Gang or Hao Fenglou, knew in their hearts what kind of person the emperor was. Once he learned from his mistakes and made up some determination, he would no longer have feelings to say. If the prince would say anything bad about it at this time, His Majesty would be furious and would force the King of Han to vassal Yunnan. At the same time, he would start to remove the King of Han's wings. By then, Ji Gang would be destined to become a victim.

Ji Gang was almost furious. The reason why he swallowed his anger was that he did not want to cause the current situation. However, Hao Fenglou actually pulled him down directly, which was almost expected. In less than a few hours, a storm was about to hit him. No, it was more than a storm. It was simply a tragic disaster, and it might even be possible. All the Han Wang gang members would be crushed to pieces.

Hao Fenglou looked at Ji Gang straight. Facing Ji Gang who was furious, he was fearless: "Mr. Ji, don't forget that His Highness, the King of Han, will not be a vassal. Since he has made up his mind, does Master Ji think he can be spared? Once Your Majesty is determined to let the Prince be the Emperor, sooner or later he will clear the obstacles for His Highness. If you follow His Highness, you will never have a good end."

Ji Gang's eyes turned red: "It's not now, we at least have a chance. Instead of hitting someone's knife like now."

Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes: "In fact, it is not impossible for the King of Han to stay in the capital. As long as His Majesty does not make up his mind for a day, you will be safe."

"What did you say?" Ji Gang looked at Hao Fenglou coldly: "Although Your Majesty has not made it clear in recent days, he already understands the meaning. Even Queen Xu's side also means this... Besides, now..."

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "This is an opportunity. Your Highness can try it. Your Highness must give it a try. That is, now, victory or defeat will be here."

Hao Fenglou didn't want to get involved in the open and secret struggle between the prince and His Highness, but this time, he had to participate because he had to survive in this crack. Of course, others provoked him. Since that's the case, he had to fight.

Hao Fenglou said: "It's not advisable to go to see the King of Han now. Time is tight, and there may be a lot of delays. The King of Han or the Lord, even if he is humble, he will be doomed. I just don't know, does Lord Ji dare to fight?"

Ji Gang squinted his eyes and looked at Hao Fenglou coldly: "Why should the King of Han believe you? Why do I believe you?"

Hao Fenglou said lightly: "Because next, His Highness the Crown Prince will fight back and ferment what has just happened. It won't take long to see countless officials in the court write letters to impeachment, implicating the affairs of the Jinyiwei, implicating the son-in-law Wang Ning, implicating the governor Qiu Fu, and even implicating the King of Han and King Zhao, King of Han, and King Zhao are His Majesty's legitimate son, so they will naturally be unscathed. However, once the trouble begins, His Majesty must make a choice. In fact, His Majesty has made a choice, and he chose the prince. Since both sides are incompatible, His Majesty will be stable.

To consolidate the position of the prince, to calm the situation and to cut off the ambition of the King of Han, a hero will definitely cut off his arm and eliminate all those who Your Majesty think should not exist in this world. Lord Ji is one, Governor Qiu is one, and even the prince-consor Wang Ning is also imprisoned. All the military officers involved in Yanshan Guard are not spared. Do you remember Taizu? Do you still remember the eldest grandson of Jianwen? Taizu can do this, and once Your Majesty makes up his mind, it will be the same. So, if we do nothing, it is just waiting for death. Why, don’t you want to fight?"

Ji Gang looked at Hao Fenglou coldly, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's go and see the King of Han."

Eastern Palace.

The copied memorials will be delivered here on time.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi has been very busy recently, and His Majesty has become more and more dependent on him. The result of relying on him is that many complicated government affairs have been copied to the East Palace at the same time, and he will be approved by him, and then sent to the palace to let Zhu Di decide in the final decision.

Even so, Zhu Gaochi still took the time to meet officials and discuss knowledge with the Hanlins.

But today, the atmosphere in the East Palace seems to be different.

When Xie Jin heard the news, he arrived at the first time, and Huang Huai, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi, Hu Guang and others were also here.

The matter has been made clear, and the whole story is very clear. Under the instigation of Hao Fenglou, the Jinyiwei collectively questioned and resisted the layoff of redundant personnel. The layoff of redundant personnel was the first major thing that Zhu Gaochi did after his position gradually consolidated. The effect seemed to be good. But he never thought that when he arrived at the Jinyiwei, he suddenly encountered trouble.

Zhu Gaochi, who had a big belly, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Obviously, he hates Hao Fenglou deeply. Today, the Jinyiwei can disobey his orders, so tomorrow there will be a second and third yamen looking for other excuses to ignore Zhu Gaochi's authority. What the ruling people are most afraid of is not how difficult it is, but whether they will encounter resistance when promoting government affairs. Once someone sees through his hands and feet, no one will take you seriously.

Zhu Gaochi breathed and looked at Xie Jin: "What do you think about Master Xie?"

Xie Jin looked at Zhu Gaochi deeply: "Your Highness, this is an opportunity!"

Zhu Gaochi's body shook, and he quickly regained his rationality from his anger, and seemed to have captured something.

Xie Jin said lightly: "The reason why Your Majesty confirmed Your Highness's title is many factors, and it is hard for me to list them one by one. What I want to say today is one of them. Your Majesty does not want to be Emperor Wen of Sui, so..."

Everyone present knew it.

There are countless examples in history. From Qin Shihuang to Emperor Yang of Sui, the biggest reason for the collapse of the dynasty they founded was that the disaster caused Xiao Wall. Because the crown prince was not confirmed, the struggle within the empire was particularly fierce, and brothers were killed, which eventually shook the foundation of the country.

Therefore, Zhu Di had to confirm the system of inheritance of the eldest son and had to choose the crown prince. However, the King of Han was still strong and hesitant. The emperor favored the King of Han, so he was hesitant. Now, he could use this matter to do something and give the King of Han a fatal blow.

Zhu Gaochi's fat lips trembled, and his eyes became meaningful: "Is this possible?"

Xie Jin said word by word: "It depends on how to fan the flames."

Zhu Gaochi stood up with the desk and glanced at everyone: "It's time to have an explanation, then, it's today." He looked at Xie Jin with high hopes: "Master Xie, you go and arrange it."

Xie Jin nodded, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Zhu Di is a person who can't sit still, but there are exceptions.

These days, he has been staying in the warm room honestly every day, and Duke Xu Huizu of Wei also entered the palace every few days. This pair of "old friends" have been like paint and glue recently.

However... there are exceptions. Sometimes, unscrupulous quarrels will occur in the warm room, and the quarrels will be loud, which scares everyone torment.

This movement made Empress Xu very frightened, and she quickly called Zheng He to inquire.

Zheng He did not dare to hide it, so he had to make up the whole story: "Empress, is it for Mr. Yao to build a temple?"

Empress Xu was confused: "Mr. Yao built a temple and what does it do with Your Majesty? What's the matter with Duke of Wei? What's there to fight for?"

Zheng He smiled bitterly.

In fact, it was difficult for him to understand that when a monk built a temple, the emperor and Duke of Wei could argue with the sketch, and they had been arguing for several days in a row.

Zheng He could not understand such behavior, and it was difficult for him to understand the enthusiasm of Zhu Di and Xu Huizu.

However, Zhu Di and Xu Huizu seemed to have devoted themselves completely. They were obviously a little idle and too comfortable to be interested in this sketch.

Finally, Empress Xu exclaimed: "Let's go, let them go. If there is any dispute, come and report it immediately. I am afraid. I finally calm down for a few days. If something happens again, how can this happen?"

Zheng Hehe nodded: "I obey the will of the Empress."
