The capital has reached a critical moment, and everyone is nervous, and Liu Chun at this moment is also happy to look at the news sent by Xu Zengshou.

Liu Chun was very pleased, he couldn't help rubbing his hands, if it could be logical, it would be great.

"Daughter-in-law, do you know? His Majesty has summoned King Yan to Beijing! ”

That's right!

It's the old imperial calendar that has been happening for a long time.

Backward communications are really killing individuals.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Di to enter Beijing, and Xu Zengshou immediately sent a letter to Liu Chun, and the messenger was urgent for 800 miles. Regardless of the cost, rush to Yunnan.

When Liu Chun got the news, Zhu Di had been in Beijing for several days, and the matter of the so-called auspicious Qilin was still on the way, and I don't know how long it would take before it could be delivered to Liu Chun.

No way, this is the way it is, how nice it would be to have a phone? Even if it's wired! Without a telephone, the telegram could make do, otherwise the delivery of the message would be too slow.

"I'm going to start a new course!"

"Yes, yes!"

Zhu Gaosui said happily: "Sir, it's good if you teach me, and the disciple will definitely carry it forward." ”

Liu Chun looked at him, this kid was a thief, and he looked like a little fox, which made Liu Chun very dissatisfied.

"No, you're not a scholar, you can't bear it! I need scientists who can dive into research and invent countless useful things...... You kid, you're a player, it's too far off! ”

Zhu Gaosui didn't care, "Master, it's okay if you look down on me, but the problem is that those two goods are also unreliable!" Needless to say, my eldest brother didn't even come, and he stayed in Beiping! My second brother...... He is ambitious, I guess, if my father really has any hope of becoming the prince and inheriting the Ming dynasty, he will compete with the boss for the position of prince. Although my disciple is not talented, I am honest, well-behaved, and sensible...... The best way to inherit the mantle of the master! ”

Liu Chun pinched Zhu Gaosui with his eyelids, "It's wronged to say that you are a little fox, you are an old fox now!" ”

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "It's not all masters who teach well!" ”

"Don't be poor, go, go to your second brother and tell him the news."

Liu Chun took Zhu Gaosui to Zhu Gaoxu's military camp, this kid really likes to fight, he has been with Tang Zhao during this time, not only learning the art of war, but also personally commanding several battles, fighting quite well, Tang Zhao praised him.

"Second brother, our father has entered Beijing."

"Oh!" Zhu Gaoxu replied without being salty, his eyes were still staring at the sand table in front of him, and in his hand, there were two small flags, red and green.

Zhu Gaosui saw that he was distracted, thinking that he hadn't heard clearly, so he leaned closer and said, "Our father was recruited into the capital by the emperor's grandfather!" Maybe our dad will take a step higher! Did you know? ”

Zhu Gaoxu finally turned his head and smiled contemptuously, "This is all destined by God, what is there to be surprised about." ”

"Heaven is predestined? You, how do you know? Zhu Gaosui asked in surprise.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled at Liu Chun, "Mr. is on my father's side, that is the destiny of heaven!" ”

In a word, Zhu Gaosui almost vomited, he stared at the second brother, and said very seriously: "If I could beat you, I would have beaten you down a long time ago!" You can't be too shameless to pat yourself on the back! ”

Zhu Gaoxu directly pushed the third brother aside to cool off.

He resisted his excitement, walked in front of Liu Chun, and grinned as soon as he spoke...... The calmness just now is all faked!

"Sir, do you think my father will get his wish?"

"Hard to say!"

Liu Chun replied very simply, he walked to the front of the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you like to fight?" Fighting a war pays attention to knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, so we might as well deduce it and see what the odds of King Yan are? ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded happily, "This method is good!" Zhu Gaosui also came over, and the three masters and apprentices quickly started the deduction...... There is no doubt that this time, Zhu Di has many more good cards in his hand.

The first big card is Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, there is no doubt that His Majesty the Emperor has the heart to make Zhu Di the crown prince.

The second is the support of the law-changing faction.

You must know that in history, Zhu Di has not received the support of civil officials, even after becoming the emperor, the entire civil official system would rather stand behind Zhu Gaochi than completely obey Zhu Di.

Emperor Yongle was obsessed with the use of troops abroad, and his achievements in internal affairs were not as great as Zhu Yuanzhang's, perhaps this was also one of the factors.

As for the third card, that is the support of the nobles. After Wang Bi's case, the princes were completely disappointed in the East Palace, and the meaning of the turn was very clear.

Judging from these three big cards, Zhu Di is almost certain to win.

But what can't be ignored is that Zhu Yunwen also has one more card! And it's also at the level of the king bomb!

"His Royal Highness King Yan supports the change, so the civil officials and gentry who oppose the change will become the biggest supporters of the East Palace. However, Jiangnan is the base camp of this group of people, and in the case of the retirement of the princes and the lack of leading figures, the trend of civil officials controlling the court is becoming more and more obvious. Don't forget, the Ming Dynasty still ruled the country by courtesy, and His Majesty wanted to be easy to store, so he had to take into account the opinions of these civil officials, and it was reasonable to clean up the patriarchy. ”

Liu Chun still has a sentence that he hasn't said, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed too old, and no one knows whether he has the energy to complete the great cause of easy storage.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the contrast of forces between the two sides on the sand table, and he suddenly snorted, "Gentry, gentry!" If my father ascends the throne, he will sweep away the gentry! ”

Zhu Gaosui snorted and said disdainfully: "Do you think you have a lot of courage?" Just abolish the gentry? What about the doctors? What about civil servants? What about science readers? Aren't these guys annoying? If you want me to say, we should invite Master Confucius out of the Temple of Literature! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. Our father should depose Confucianism and respect science alone! Offering the statue of Mozi in the Temple of Literature, right? ”

"To what!" Zhu Gaoxu said solemnly: "Although Mozi is the founder of the mountain, Mr. is the real master, and it should be for Mr. ”

"Shut up!"

Yoo Chun slammed the heads of two students who were out of tune!

"You guys be serious, it's your father's business, and it has nothing to do with me." The implication is that you should be more attentive.

Zhu Gaoxu spread his hands helplessly, "Master, it's useless for us to care, from the capital to Yunnan, eight hundred miles to expedit, it will take about a month, and in the event of heavy rain, it will not be delivered in two months." Back and forth, half a year has passed. Maybe my father was canonized as a prince, but we don't know anything! ”

At this time, Liu Chun was also deflated.

Indeed, the mountains and rivers are long and the distances are far away, which is really inconvenient.

"No, we have to do something! Can't wait! ”

Liu Chun feels that no matter whether history will be rewritten or not, he has to take action and do something, which is better than not doing well!

"Go south! Be sure to head south! Seize an outlet to the sea and send news by sea, at least half the time. In order to participate in the last magnificent history of the Hongwu Dynasty, Liu Chun also used his strength to eat.

He first formed a large legation with various gifts...... That's right, a gift! Very expensive gift.

Originally, Liu Chun planned to use Tusi as a precursor to annex the whole of Burma.

Now that Yoo Chun has changed his mind, as long as Burma can open up to trade and accept various conditions, especially if he can lease a port to him, Yoo Chun can keep Burma.

Of course, this reservation has a time limit, and now that Burma has been laid, it is just cheaper toast. It is better to open up trade, attract more Han Chinese maritime merchants to come, and when they occupy the coast, they will send troops from Yunnan to attack from both sides and swallow Burma into their stomachs.

It was none other than Liu Chun's cheap uncle Feng Cheng who was the envoy to the south!

"Okay, you kid really can do it! My uncle is a lot old, are you willing to let me go south? ”

Liu Chun shrugged his shoulders, "There's no way, I just got married, and my mother hasn't conceived yet, so I can't take risks!" Unlike your uncle, you have lived for so long, and you have never done anything earth-shattering, if you really died in Myanmar, maybe you could write a few more strokes in the history books! ”

"Phew!"

Feng Cheng smacked Liu Chun fiercely, listen, is this human talk?

Why is Lao Tzu so unlucky to put on such a conscienceless thing as you!

Feng Cheng laughed angrily, "Little rabbit, you don't have to look down on me!" Let me tell you, our old Feng is different from before! Feng Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed, "Light me three thousand firecrackers!" Go south now! ”

When these soldiers marched with neat steps, carrying firearms and artillery, and marching south with high morale, Liu Chun suddenly had a premonition that maybe Uncle Cheap would be impressive this time!

Not to mention that Feng Cheng was gone, Liu Chun discussed with Zhao Mian again, asking him to send another team of envoys to Annan in the name of Qincha.

At this moment, Annan is still a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, but Annan is very chaotic in the country, and it borders the land of the Ming Dynasty, so their pressure is not small.

Liu Chun planned to rely on coercion to get Annan to hand over a port, so that the sea route to the east of Yunnan would also be unblocked...... Everything that can be done has been done, all that remains is to wait for the news, about half a month later, suddenly, extremely secret news was sent from the capital, not Xu Zengshou's!

"Lord Liu, Your Majesty went to Tanglin, and on the way back, he was overly sad, seriously ill, and in critical condition!"

"Ahh Liu Chun couldn't help but whisper...... Could it be that Lao Zhu can't hold on?
