Giving enough sphere of influence and expanding the guards, this is almost the dream of the Hao family, for the imperial court or for Zhu Di, Dingnan is just an innocuous place, but for the Hao family, it is not the case.

The population of Jiaozhi and Dingnan is now as high as 20 million, and the number of Han people is also as high as 7 million, and it is still increasing, which has become a super force in the entire West, once the imperial court entrusts such power, in fact, it is equivalent to putting the entire West in the hands of the Hao family.

Naturally, most of the people in Jinling have limited eyes, no matter whether they are Siamese Jiaozhi, in their eyes, they are worthless.

Of course, this is not that Zhu Di does not have that kind of insight into the importance of going there, but the actual reason is very simple, for a huge empire, with their current level of production, it is simply not enough to properly digest Siam.

Siam is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, whether it is the transmission of government decrees, the dispatch of officials, the stationing of soldiers and horses, in fact, it is impossible to draw, not to mention that even if more grain is collected from Dingnan, the loss of escorting into Beijing along the way is also astronomical.

The current model is quite like a contractor, the Hao family is the contractor, what they do is to sit in the south and Jiaozhi for the imperial court, pay taxes on time, and strengthen the influence and control of the imperial court in the West, so that the imperial court does not have to worry about the south.

Zhu Di took out this sweetness. It's nothing more than telling sù Hao Fenglou, you can rest assured that you will do things for me, and you really have to wait until I have three long and two short. You have gone back to Langshan to be your Anle Gong, the prince is not a person of civil rule and martial arts after all, as long as you go back to Langshan, do you really want to start a war in order to retaliate?

Zhu Di did this, and it seems that he had to do it, in fact. Although he is a great martial artist, in fact, he has never won the hearts of the people. This person, of course, is a narrow category, because in the Ming Dynasty, those who could afford the word human were nothing more than scholars and gentry. As for the rest. Not even a true citizen, the warrior was a horseman, a pig and dog that could be driven at will, roughly like the Russian soldiers of the tsarist era who were called gray-skinned beasts. As for the ordinary people, it seems that Taizu did give them a privileged status back then, after all, the status of a farmer. It's only under the scholars, but it's actually a joke. Because these people don't have any family wealth, they can't read anything, and most of them are in debt, they can't even eat, and they talk about 'people'.

This country, from the very beginning, was controlled by scholars, of course Zhu Di knew that the country controlled by scholars, the Son of Heaven and scholars ruled the world together, so that they could have long-term peace and stability, so even if he could kill Fang Xiaoru, it would never be possible to abandon it. Scholar', he can be angry, kill a few ministers, but can never bury all the scholars, this is where his contradiction lies, he knows that his children and grandchildren, must rely on scholars to govern the country, and also knows that the prince has won the hearts of the people, and it is not a bad thing to get the support of scholars, and his son will be able to keep the family business and continue his hard-won society. But on the other hand, he is the public enemy in the eyes of these people, and this assassination made him more aware of the hidden crisis behind this contradiction, so the only thing he can do at the moment is to contain the prince, but he has to compromise with the prince, and to curb the prince, he must use loyal people, but looking at the world, how many people can be loyal?

There are only two kinds of people around him, one is a scholar, these people have already worn a pair of pants with the prince, I am afraid that there are many people, who can't wait for themselves to die as soon as possible, and then happily create a peaceful and prosperous world with the prince. The other kind, the so-called Jingnan heroes, many of these people are Zhu Di's old brothers, and they are Zhu Di's good friends, but Zhu Di sadly found that these people may not be reliable, and the reason is ridiculous, they have made great contributions, achieved fame, and now have a title, a grange, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and share peace with the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty is of course Zhu Di's, but in the future, the world is still the prince's, and now for the emperor to curb the prince, in his own life, naturally there is nothing to do, But what about your children and grandchildren? Whether it is the Zhu family, the Zhang family, or the Zhou family, they often take a disregard for the many battles between the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and abide by neutrality.

Hao Fenglou is different, Hao Fenglou's temperament has always been bold, besides, he and the prince have a grudge, his family's family business is also thousands of miles away in Langshan, plus his ability is not bad, he is the only object of Zhu Di's wooing.

After listening to Zhu Di's words, Hao Fenglou didn't twist, and immediately said, "Weichen thanks." ”

Lanruo Temple.

A little novice walked briskly into the meditation room.

Yao Guangxiao, who was dying, was already in a coma at this moment, but when Xiao Shami whispered something in his ear, those eyes suddenly opened, Yao Guangxiao's face turned red, and after coughing desperately, he said, "Ahem...... Ahem...... It became ...... It seems to have been done, but this gift is not enough, there is still a lesson, but he still needs to be given a lesson, he is young after all, and he doesn't know the truth of beating the water dog...... Ahem...... This is the last lesson, and I hope he knows what it means to eliminate evil and kill everything...... You...... You go and give the order to Chunsheng, go and ......"

The small novices here, it is impossible to leave the Purple Mountain for a lifetime, and they can't leave the Lanruo Temple, saying that it is the novices, it is better to say that they are the people of Shenwuwei, these years, the center of Shenwuwei are in Lanruo Temple, which makes the operation of Shenwuwei, the vast majority, are influenced by Yao Guangxiao.

The little novice nodded and walked away quickly.

Yao Guangxiao is no longer really done, but there is a smile on his face, this smile has not been painful, but content.

He had strategized, created the current situation, and changed the direction of the entire Ming Dynasty, and now, even now, even if he is dying of old age and close to running out of oil for a few years, he still wants to change the direction again for this world, for all living beings in this world, the fate of the world for decades or even hundreds of years, is actually like a chess piece, at his mercy, his thoughts, and even a humorous grotesque idea, can change countless individuals, to affect the rise and fall of every family, everyone's life and death, honor and disgrace.

"Something is done, and the merit and fame ...... are hidden" In this small meditation room, this inconspicuous monk, when he showed the last smile, finally really closed his eyes, the world was pure, but the whole world, but it seemed to be like a locomotive that was changed by him, and adjusted the direction again, where will it go, and what will change, is the peaceful and prosperous world, is the emperor's paradise, or, is everywhere there is killing, is countless people displaced, is human life like grass, these, the monk never thinks, He only plays chess, playing chess is his pleasure, he has only been well versed in this way all his life, and he only cares about this game, the fate of the chess pieces, too far away from him.

Just like a child who sets fire in the garden, this is only his pleasure, and his pleasure is only to play with fire, but what does it matter to him with the countless insects and ants in the garden, he can't see it, he can't see it, and there will be no mercy from the heavens, because he is only responsible for setting fires, finding pleasure in the fire, enjoying the pleasure of the moment.

Yao Guangxiao, who was an arsonist, had already died, but just an hour later, Jingshi actually caught fire.

The East Palace Treasury was on fire, the fire was amazing, in the East Palace, countless people made a mess, even the prince Zhu Gaochi, was also surprised, under the support of many guards and palace people, the fire quickly stayed away from the fire, in fact, this fire, compared to the ordinary fire, may not be big, because this fire, only burned a few houses, but burned half of the courtyard, but the chaos and reverie caused by it, is amazing.

Because not long ago, His Majesty was assassinated, and now, even the crown prince has been 'assassinated', His Royal Highness the prince can be said to be in shock, and the other palace people and guards are also apprehensive. The guards searched for the Assassins, but all they got were charred and unrecognizable corpses, apparently there were signs of deliberate arson, but God knows who the arsonists were.

If it was in the past, this news would of course cause a lot of shock, but now, it is very different, so someone immediately rushed into the palace to report, and in the warm pavilion, the Son of Heaven was still discussing with Hao Fenglou about the 'palace ban and precautions', and the tiptoeing eunuch fell down in the warm pavilion breathlessly and told the situation in the East Palace.

Zhu Di's face did not have any reaction. (To be continued......)
