In late October of the sixteenth year of Yongli, in the city of Shenyang, in the Yamen of the Northeast Governor. Although it was late at night, the lights were still on in the lobby of the yamen.

Catch a glimpse of a copy of the Ming Pao on the table—according to Jiangbei's custom, after the reconquest of Liaodong, a newspaper was printed here, and the newspaper was the Shenyang edition of the Ming Pao, although it was only a glance at Wu Zhaoqian to see the contents of the front page.

“…… Li Ziyuan killed the monarch and usurped the throne, and the world should discuss it together...... Hey! ”

He raised his eyes and looked at Fang Yizhi in front of him, looking at the governor of the Northeast, although Wu Zhaoqian had gone to the Manchu Qing Dynasty for scientific research, and was exiled to Ningguta because of the Jiangnan Kechang case, but because of the scarcity of people in the Northeast, it was still retained for the Governor's Palace, of course, this is also directly related to Fang Gongqian's recommendation, Fang Gongqian is a member of the Fang family of Tongcheng in Nanzhili, and Fang Yizhi is his fellow clan, so he will naturally take care of him.

"First killed the king, and then usurped the throne, such a chaotic minister and thief, the whole world should discuss it, as soon as this proposal comes out, it will definitely be responded to by all parties."

Fang Yizhi just drank silently and didn't make a sound. As an official in the palace, of course he knew how the king was furious after the emperor died of a violent illness and ordered the whole army to mourn for the emperor, but despite this, the king did not directly accuse Li Ziyuan of killing the king.

On the issue of killing the king, although there are various speculations among the people, and they all point to Li Ziyuan, the king, the Min domain, and even the Jin domain did not blame the Chu domain.

Why is this happening?

The reason for this could not be simpler, because everyone has no evidence, and now, the persuasion of Li Ziyuan by the vassals of Chu has let the world see Li Ziyuan's wolf ambitions. It also makes the world ashamed.

However, to the disappointment of many, although the king questioned the cause of the emperor's death and demanded a thorough investigation into the matter, the king, who had always been known for his unswerving loyalty, chose to remain silent on the issue of succession.

The first emperor is gone, but the prince is still there, and the prince is in 10,000 years, but the king is ...... Thinking of the rumor that has always been rumored, Fang Yizhi couldn't help but feel a little distracted, if the king was really the bloodline of the Lie Emperor, then ......

"The Li family is the emperor, but he is just killing himself,"

Wu Zhaoqian looked at Fang Yizhi and suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Today, the first emperor has gone, the world can not be without an owner for a day, it stands to reason that since the prince is still here, it should naturally be succeeded by the prince, but my Ming Dynasty is still in other domains, the first emperor was originally a distant domain, and succeeded to the throne as the emperor, but it is just a chance meeting, if the heirs of Emperor Lie are here, they should inherit the unification by the heirs of Emperor Lie, I don't know if the system can be done?"

Fang Yizhi still didn't answer, just squinted at Wu Zhaoqian.

Wu Zhaoqian said it right, Zhu Youlang is indeed a distant domain, logically speaking, it really should not be inherited by him, there are close vassals closer to him than him in the Ming clan. But when it comes to orthodoxy, there is naturally no heir to Emperor Lie, who can be called more orthodox......

It's just that the heirs of Emperor Lie are alive or not?

This is both a question and a question.

Because for a long time, there have been rumors that the king is the heir of Emperor Lie, and the king has neither denied nor admitted this.

Is the king the heir of Emperor Lie?

In the past, people all over the world were curious.

Now, people in the world are more curious.

"Hancha, then in your opinion, if the Li family is the emperor, what will happen to the world?"

Fang Yizhi did not follow Wu Zhaoqian's words, and changed the topic.

"I'm afraid that the world will fall into chaos again, such as today's soldiers and horses and property are controlled by the four feudatories, if the Li family is called the emperor, I am afraid that someone will follow suit, even if the king wants to take the storm, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support alone, for the world."

Wu Zhaoqian's answer was extremely cautious, and his answer made Fang Yizhi nod in disapproval, everyone knows this ending very well, power is chaotic, who in this world doesn't want to be the emperor?

Now, the reason why everyone is silent is not just to see that Li Ziyuan will go that far?

When Li Ziyuan became the emperor, what choice would the king make?

Do you go with the flow, or do you want to ride the tide, or do you ......

When Fang Yizhi and Wu Zhaoqian were talking privately, Zhu Mingzhong, including Yu Huai's palace, was also faced with a choice.

"Zhu Cijiong......"

Talking about this name, Zhu Mingzhong's expression looked a little helpless, maybe in a few months, he will return to his "real name", he will be the heir of Emperor Minglie - Zhu Cijiong, as for the name Zhu Mingzhong, it is just a pseudonym when he was hidden in the people.

Who in the world would believe that he was the heir of Emperor Lie?

This doesn't matter, because when the time comes, there will not only be physical evidence such as jade seals, but also old ministers in the court as witnesses, they will identify with his identity, he is no longer out of thin air in this time and space, but the prince who was exiled to the people more than ten years ago, and is the most orthodox heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Zhu Youlang, he is just a distant domain, but he only became the emperor by fate, and now that he is dead, the throne of the Ming Dynasty should naturally be inherited by his true heir. As for Zhu Youlang's son......

"Cutting the grass and eradicating the ......"

Again, Shi Lei's previous suggestion came to Zhu Mingzhong's mind.

"The king, the grass must be eradicated, as long as Zhu Cixuan is in one day, even if he does not intend to seize the throne, but he is the prince after all, he will inevitably speculate on the camp one day, and plan for him by his side, today's king is benevolent, but it will harm him, if he plots rebellion, how can he be implicated?"

Qian Lei, who has always been actively making suggestions for the king's "further", looked at the silent king and persuaded again.

Zhu Youlang is dead!

When he learned of his death, Qian Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he also felt that there were too many doubts about his death, as for poisoning Li Ziyuan, it seemed to him that it was even more nonsense, and finally there was an opportunity to control the court, how could he Li Ziyuan miss it, and he had to use the most stupid method to kill the king and usurp the throne?

But on the other hand, of course, Qian Lei understood that Zhu Youlang died at the right time, and as soon as he died like this, the obstacles that had always prevented the king from going further were eliminated, especially the death in Li Ziyuan's "hands", which gave the king an excuse to crusade against him.

Although he secretly applauded Zhu Youlang's death, Qian Lei also saw another potential threat - Zhu Cixuan, he is Zhu Youlang's son, the crown prince of Emperor Yongli, and the heir of Emperor Daming.

Zhu Youlang is dead, but Zhu Cixuan is alive, as long as he lives, it will be a threat to the king! Since it is a threat, it should be eliminated.

"My lord, the sea is stormy, if the ship sinks, or the boat is tired, the water and soil are not adapted, and you suffer from a sudden illness, it is inevitable......"

As a minister, he should naturally do his best to do everything for the Lord, and the Lord is ashamed of his ministers, which has been the truth for thousands of years.

When Qian Lei took the initiative to "give advice", Shi Lei did not speak, he had countless ways to solve Zhu Cixuan's problem.

But will the king agree?

"When Emperor Gao ascended the throne, committed to expelling Hulu, restore China, for this to sweep away all kinds of separatist forces, in order to reunify my China, Sichuan Ming Yuzhen, Jiangxi Chen Youliang, have been called emperors, after the Gao Emperor swept away the heroes, Ming Yuzhen's son Ming Sheng surrendered, Ming Sheng surrendered to my Ming Dynasty, once and the Red Turban Army, another rebel leader Chen Youliang's son Chen Li often met and complained. Although these two are still teenagers, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that they will be bewitched and endanger the Ming regime in the future, how will Emperor Gao deal with the two of them? ”

In the face of Qian Lei's persuasion, Zhu Mingzhong did not directly refute him, but took out the old things of Emperor Gao.

The king's rhetorical question made Qian Lei's face change suddenly, and he replied after a while.

At the beginning, there were also ministers who persuaded Emperor Gao to kill two people to settle Jiangshan, Emperor Gao was benevolent and righteous, and he did not want to kill the two of them. Myeongsheng and his mother, Empress Peng, and 27 others were sent to Goryeo, and announced that "no officials, no people". After Myeongsheng and his entourage came to Goryeo, King Gongchou of Goryeo offered Yan'an and Baichuan counties as tribute to Myeongseung's family, and provided them with Heungguksa Temple located in Lijing-ri, north of Songdu, as a residence with slaves and maids. After Myeongseung arrived in Goryeo, he married the daughter of King Yoon Hee, the governor of Goryeo, and had four sons, who have been passed down from generation to generation on the Korean Peninsula. As for Chen Li, the same is true......"

"Don't be afraid of the elderly, compared to Mingsheng, Chen Li's life has been very difficult. However, although it was hard, it did not hurt his life, and in the end, he had to die a good death. Back then, Emperor Gao was still like this to outsiders, how could Zhu harm his own clan's relatives? ”

Staring at Qian Lei, Zhu Mingzhong asked rhetorically, his rhetorical question made Qian Lei's forehead suddenly sweat, and Shi Lei lowered his eyes, he knew that he knew that unless Zhu Cixuan really plotted rebellion, the king would not want his life anyway.

"Back then, Emperor Gao did not hurt the lives of Mingsheng and Chen Li, and Emperor Chengzu could not hurt the lives of Jianshu. After this catastrophe, the clan drifted away, and after several difficulties, it can be said that there is no one in a hundred, and the affection of the relatives of the vassals is not hurt at all? ”

At this time, Zhu Mingzhong looked like he was scrupling about family affection, but after this sigh, he pondered for a while, and then said.

"Lone once heard the minister mentioned that when the first emperor occupied the city, he once said that if he could live a stable life here, it would not hurt, although the words of the first emperor would inevitably lose his mind, but his feelings were pitiful, well, he would seal the country in Zhancheng in the future!"

Seal the country and occupy the city!

Qian Lei, who was originally only thinking about killing, heard this, and his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he said after a while.

"King Gaoyi!"

What is the great king Gaoyi, this is clearly exile in disguise! If he is exiled from the Ming Dynasty, how can he threaten the king again? Even, the king's words made Qian Lei's mind think of those relatives and those people, who are more or less always a threat to the king, and they should follow suit!

Zhu Mingzhong didn't know what Qian Lei thought, knowing that they had already understood their thoughts, so he diverted the topic and said.

"Cangshui, what's wrong with it now?"
