Chapter 291 Deliberate design (Part 1)

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu were like two wooden carved clay figures, standing outside Zhu Di's bedroom with their eyes straight. The two stood face to face, only three meters apart, but neither looked at each other. Zhu Xi looked at the clouds floating in the sky, and Zhu Yu was stunned when he was waiting for the few palace maids waiting in the yard. The eyes of the two were dissipated, and they didn't know what they were thinking. Old Eunuch Lu stood at the gate of the bedroom with his head as if his head was wavy. He looked on the left and the right, and he was very proud.

Occasionally, it is very rare that Zhu Xi would withdraw his gaze and exchange a meaningful look with the old eunuch Lu, and then immediately threw his eyes to the clouds in the sky, as if it was a naked beauty. Zhu Li was completely like a wooden stake, staring at the palace maids in a daze. However, his ears were constantly shaking, swaying slightly from left to right, wanting to hear the words in the bedroom clearly. However, the old eunuch Lu's true energy filled the entire yard, so where could he hear any sound?

He looked back at the old eunuch Lu with a little resentment. The old eunuch Lu narrowed his eyes and showed a mysterious smile. He hummed loudly and gave Zhu Yu a bright smile like a flower-giving look. It was obvious that Zhu Yu was a little disgusted by this brilliant smile. He opened his mouth and twisted his head. So Zhu Xi immediately turned his head and looked at the old eunuch Lu and smiled.

In the bedroom, Zhu Di looked at the serious monk Daoyan and asked in a low voice: "Daoyan, what might be like for what happened this time?"

Monk Daoyan sighed and shook his head, "Your Majesty, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

Zhu Di was silent for a while, nodded and said, "How about lies?"

Monk Daoyan immediately said, "Are you lies? The two high men have some misunderstandings. Their subordinates are jealous and are angry with each other for the girls in the brothel. Your Majesty doesn't have to be angry. He turns things into small matters and small matters, and then it's over. Family harmony is prosperous, let alone the imperial family? There is no need to be too serious about the fight between brothers."

Zhu Di flattened his mouth and looked like he wanted to beat Monk Daoyan hard. He blinked his eyes and asked, "What about the truth?"

Monk Daoyan looked up at the gold pattern on the ceiling and nodded, "Well, the truth is it, this matter is a bit difficult to deal with. Hey, the Jingnan Campaign was over, and all the people in the court could be killed. During the Northern Expedition, the Second Highness did not follow the expedition, so he felt lonely and unbearable. But His Majesty asked His Majesty to handle the government affairs in Yingtian Prefecture, but His Majesty had not been made the crown prince yet. What did His Majesty think the Second Highness would think?"

Zhu Di frowned, sat on the chair and gently stroked the purple gold paperweight at his hand, looking thoughtful. Monk Daoyan glanced at him and continued, "The Second Highness and the generals are in harmony with the ministers in the court, and they handled the daily government affairs without any leakage. If the Second Highness wants to do it, he can only get along with the military generals in the court... Your Majesty thinks that Lei Zhenyuan comes to Yingtian and Murong Tian goes to Chengdu, what are you doing?"

Seeing Zhu Di, whose face gradually became a little gloomy, Monk Daoyan sighed softly, shook his head, and said as if he had seen a naughty little old man, "It is not a bad thing to make friends with ministers. If Your Majesty wants to enjoy the peace of mind in the palace in the future, will His Highness ask the Second Highness to lead the army to the war? His Highness and the Generals must handle their relationship well. However, His Highness is really too hasty. Now he is a vassal king. He is not afraid of gossiping with the imperial court!"

The Buddhist beads in his hand casually pushed into his sleeves. Monk Daoyan clenched his fist, gently hit his knee, and sighed: "Even if the officials in the court don't say anything, there are still Yuan Meng's remnants on the grassland watching. Who knows how many details they left in the Central Plains? If they use this as an excuse to deliberately provoke right and wrong, haha, wouldn't it make the government unstable?"

"But your Highness has no capable man in the army except General Lu Feng and General Lu, and his power is definitely not as good as your Second Highness. If this person has no strength, his voice will naturally not be loud. Your Highness has a hot temper. If he has committed a little, he will jump up and kill people. In this storm, it is probably because your Highness misunderstood some things and deliberately provokes right and wrong?" Monk Daoyan narrowed his eyes and said with a kind face.

Zhu Di nodded silently, and after a while, he said: "I also feel strange. If the second brother loses his temper and sends people to kill a few boss subordinates, I think it's not surprising. But this time, such a big storm was caused. The two unfilial sons actually used force to directly threaten the lives of their brothers. This made me really a little sad." Zhu Di lowered his head and rubbed the hollow carp pendant on his belt, his expression a little sad.

Monk Daoyan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. Do you think that someone might be making trouble in this matter? Daoyan thinks that someone might be making trouble in it. The one who assassinated the Second Prince's subordinates was definitely not the His Highness's subordinates. His Highness's subordinates could not find such a powerful person unless it was Lord Lu Feng, Lord Lu or Lord Li Huli and others who took action personally. Hey, Lord Lu's cultivation is much more profound than ordinary warriors, and it is more than enough to injure a few generals. But Lord Lu has been in Yingtian Mansion, so where can he have time to do this?"

Zhu Di nodded, and when he heard the monk Daoyan's opinion, his doubts about Lu Feng immediately disappeared. Isn't that what are the masters under Lu Feng going to find so many masters? What are some of the Jinyiwei characters? Zhu Di still doesn't know? Just Zhou Chu, Lu An, and Lin Shi, these three slaves, don't say that they don't have time to run out of Yingtian Mansion, even if they go to Gaoyang Palace, they can't come out alive under the siege of thousands of guards.

As for Shui Yuanzi, Zhu Di didn't even expect him to go up to his head. If this old madman went to Gaoyang Palace to attack, he would probably not have hurt many people, but Gaoyang Palace would have to be settled.

When Monk Daoyan saw Zhu Di's relief look, he immediately smiled sinisterly: "The Second Highness has killed too many people in the vassal states, especially when he has slaughtered those martial arts gangs, those who follow others will prosper, and those who go against others will perish. Many martial arts masters are a little unable to bear it. The Central Plains martial arts world is so big that more than a dozen innate masters can still be found, and perhaps there are more hidden masters? Haha, as long as there are two or three people taking the lead and in a hurry, I am afraid that the Second Highness's guards of his royal palace will not be able to resist it."

After a pause, Monk Daoyan picked up the incense tea and took a sip, let out a 'tsk' sound of admiration, and continued: "After suffering this loss, Your Majesty doesn't know about the temper of the Second Prince? He must have to find someone to vent his anger! But who are you looking for? Isn't the ready-made candidate there? Your Majesty!... Hey, as long as the Second Prince wants to attack in secret, Your Majesty has no masters. The elites of the Nether Palace have been stripped away by Lord Lu Feng and Lu. Now they are all serving Your Majesty in the palace, how can you stop Your Majesty's revenge?"

Slowly putting down the teacup, Monk Daoyan's mind turned a few thoughts and continued: "But, Lord Lu must be clear about his temper. What can be hidden from His Majesty's eyes? Lord Lu is afraid that he will not be willing to let go with the Second Prince, so he will inevitably use some tricks and feet in secret... For example, give the thieves who rob tributes, and give them sloppy eyes and so on, hehe, Daoyan guessed, Lord Lu might even get the benefits from it!" Monk Daoyan's face was full of mystery.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di nodded suddenly and snorted coldly: "I just said that at the gate of Yingtian Mansion, the tribute convoy was actually kidnapped. The Jinyiwei had not received any news. The relationship was like this. Lu Feng, this little kid, still lacked consideration, and he played such tricks behind his back. Hey!... Well, after all, he is still young, why don't you think more carefully? You have to scold him well, um..." Zhu Di seemed to suddenly become enlightened, a little annoyed but a little relieved and shouted.

Monk Daoyan smiled faintly, squinted his eyes and said, "The rest is easy to explain. Lord Lu put the second prince out of thin air. How can the second prince not get angry? Of course, he has to send a large number of masters to trouble Lord Lu. However, Yingtian Mansion was under the control of Lord Lu. The Jinyiwei, the Governor's Office, and the army of broken camps came out. I am afraid that the second prince suffered a lot of secret losses! But in this way, the matter is naturally getting bigger and bigger. Which courtiers are not smart people? Can you not know what happened?"

Zhu Di was so angry that he slapped his thighs and twitched his eyes and shouted, "A group of bastards, they can do this kind of thing."

Monk Daoyan pulled the corner of his mouth, showed a warm smile, and said calmly: "This matter, Your Majesty doesn't need to make a big deal, so that the Lord and the Second Highness will not be even more grudges. In the future, brothers will not get along with each other. At the same time, this is also for the safety of Your Highness. The Second Highness has tens of thousands of soldiers and has recruited countless experts from the martial arts world. If he is determined and according to the second Highness's temper, what can't be done? I'm afraid that the only thing he dares not do is offend Your Highness, but killing Lu Feng and stabbing his elder brother may not be afraid of this."

Zhu Di murmured viciously: "He dares?"

Monk Taoyan smiled sinisterly: "For the sake of the throne, what are you afraid of? Your Majesty, you have to be careful. This matter is either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Now the two sides are fighting happily. If you don't think of a way out, you may be half of the ministers in the court will die in half a year and August!" Monk Taoyan's face was very calm, but his eyes were like gluttonous spirit cats, staring at Zhu Di without blinking.

Zhu Di's face looked ugly. He was silent and kept silent. Monk Daoyan sighed and said with a profound meaning: "Your Majesty, although you have good health in the dragon body and have obtained the spiritual skills of Taoism presented by Lord Lu (focused on). It is not a problem to live a thousand or eight hundred. It is just around the corner to fly straight to the heaven world. However, for the stability of the government and for the livelihood of the people of the world, you still have to think seriously. Which of these four princes do you like the most? Even if you don't explain it, you have to express it."

Monk Daoyan easily added the last weight: "The Third Highness conquered Cangfeng Castle, but built his own Tianwu Palace. Are the masters of this Tianwu Palace? They have been very diligent in the capital recently. When I was observing the celestial phenomena in Wangxing Tower, I watched the spies of the Jinyiwei running around the eaves of Yingtian Mansion, but it was so lively... Besides..." Monk Daoyan deliberately paused and blinked his eyes.

Zhu Di shouted in a deep voice: "What's more? Could it be that the third brother dares to send someone to the eldest brother and the second brother to provoke trouble? He has such a courage? Even if he has such a courage, he... Oh... I have never paid attention to this third brother. According to his temper, if something happens to the world, he will have already jumped out to get benefits. Why did the two brothers fight so happily this time, and thousands of people were killed and injured, and he has no reaction at all?"

Monk Daoyan smiled almost gloatingly, and he did not hide his gloating expression. "Oh, Your Majesty, you should be happy. The Third Highness is a promising one. In the past, he only robbed women on the street with his martial arts masters, but now he will steal other things secretly... Hey, this time the conflict between the Great Highness and the Second Highness was that the generals under the Second Highness were attacked? Haha, Cangfeng Castle has great potential in the world."

Zhu Di looked at Monk Daoyan coldly and snorted coldly: "Daoyan, are you very happy?"

Monk Daoyan narrowed his eyes and smiled proudly. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I dare not, but I am just wondering where did Your Majesty's wise and magical martial arts go when conquering the whole world? Could it be that it is true that it is difficult for a clean official to make up for family affairs? But Your Majesty is not those mediocre ministers. Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor with great achievements!"

Zhu Di took a long breath and his face suddenly became peaceful. He stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Daoyan, is this your truth?"

Monk Daoyan nodded and said calmly: "This is my truth! The Second Prince is unsteady and does something that should not be done. When he encounters something, he takes his anger at others, which has caused this dispute. Your Highness, hehe, since Your Highness can manage government affairs in order when His Majesty fights Yuanmeng, he is naturally not a person who is easily humiliated. And the Third Prince, hehe, the Third Prince is really a bit unfathomable, and I don't know the links."

Zhu Di raised his head and murmured to himself: "Murong Tian, ​​Lei Zhenyuan, Lei Xiaotian... um..."

Monk Daoyan immediately explained: "These people are used to conquer the world, but are they used to govern the world, and are the source of turmoil in the world. The generals want to expand their territory, which is ambition, but they are used on themselves in the Ming Dynasty, but they are ambitious... Murong Tian and the others are talented in tigers. If they are not careful, they must be careful of their bites."

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are Lu Feng, Li Hu, but they are?"

Monk Daoyan said with great ease: "Li Hu, a bull, and he walked with his reins. What can he do? Lu Feng, I'm guilty first. Lu Feng, he is..." Monk Daoyan carefully lowered his voice, for fear that the old eunuch Lu at the door could hear it. "Mr. Lu Feng, Lu is a hunting dog, hey, I'm guilty again, he is a mad dog. As long as he gives him a high official and generous salary, he dares to bite people all over the world and never care about the consequences. Your Majesty accepts it with deep grace, and he can't turn out the palm of Your Majesty's hand."

Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction and nodded in praise: "Daoyan is indeed a talented person. A tiger needs to put on a robe. A hunting dog can use him to come to protect the house with confidence. Well, I understand... I will ask the second brother to lead the army to the north and let him go to Juyongguan to guard it, so as to avoid causing trouble with his subordinates. As for Lu Feng, it seems that he can give him more power. Hey, as long as he is not allowed to participate in the government affairs, what can he do?"

Monk Daoyan nodded and praised, "Your Majesty is wise." He smiled very satisfied, his face full of joy. Isn't this the result he asked for? He attacked Zhu Xi and promoted Zhu Xi to the throne. As for Zhu Ren, Monk Daoyan and Zhu Di did not take it seriously. Tianwu Palace has potential power in the world? Then, remove this potential power and they will not be able to make waves. The biggest thing is to calm down the battle between Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu, which is the most urgent task.

Monk Daoyan muttered in his heart: "Hey, all the civil and military officials in the court know that the Second Highness sent several waves of assassins to assassinate Lu Feng, but Your Majesty would not ask, and the Second Highness would not be foolish enough to run over and say that he had sent a wave of people here? In short, this charge has been detained on him. Hahaha, my junior brother Lu Feng, you can't blame the monk for saying bad things about you. In front of Your Majesty, I can't always talk about your benefits, right?"
