Princess Yan saw King Yan favoring his second son and didn't like the prince at all, so she said immediately.

"Your Highness, no matter what, Gao Chi is your eldest son. Do you have such distrust in him?"

Zhu Di sighed after hearing this: "It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that I've seen him since he was a child, and I really don't know what his strengths are."

Don't say this, the princess can't stand it anymore, not even Yao Guangxiao can stand it.

"Amitabha, Your Highness, you can't say this. Your Highness always leads troops out of the city to invite the Yuan people to attack. The reason why you can go there safely and securely is because of the contribution of the Crown Prince."

"I remember last year there was a severe drought in Peiping, and the people's crops were almost lost. At that time, His Highness was fighting in Mobei. If the crown prince hadn't made the decision to open warehouses to store grain and open porridge sheds for disaster relief, I'm afraid how many people in Peiping would have starved to death.

.”

"But even if the warehouses are opened to release half of the grain stored in Beiping, the supply of grain and grass in His Highness's army is still very small. I think back when King Zhongshan was marching north, the Daming Canal was silted up and it was difficult to control the supply of grain and grass to Mobei."

"Although the prime minister at the time, Hu Weiyong, set up a Kaizhong law enforcement agency and triggered the subsequent empty seal case, after all, the grain and grass were indeed transported to Mobei. Without Hu Weiyong's measures, I am afraid that Beiping might have been captured by Wang Baobao by now.

"

"When the late emperor discussed meritorious service and rewarded him, the King of Zhongshan was not the first to defeat Wang Baobao, but the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong. This shows that when the two armies fought, the soldiers on the battlefield fought hard to determine the chance of victory, but the same logistics was also very important.

Important means that while opening a warehouse to provide food relief, he can also support the food and grass needed by His Highness to lead the troops to fight. Isn't this his strength?"

King Yan was speechless when he heard this.

"My words are a bit extreme. Gao Chi is indeed very capable, but I am King Sai. As my eldest son, and the future King Yan, if he cannot even lead troops in battle, what will happen to me?

I believe he can protect the city of Beiping and the people. How can he protect the north gate of Ming Dynasty?"

Princess Yan was too lazy to continue discussing this topic with King Yan, so she immediately stood up and left angrily.

Yao Guangxiao watched the princess leave and smiled: "Your Highness, in many cases, bravery on the battlefield is not the key to victory or defeat. The three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin, were able to lead troops in battle because he was able to use personal force.

Can he defeat Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu? No!"

"The soldier Han Xin is the best at commanding from a position of command. The strategy of ambush from all sides does not rely on Han Xin's personal bravery, right?"

"Your Highness, at this critical moment, Your Highness must not entertain the idea of ​​changing the title of Crown Prince. Now our future is uncertain. Whether His Highness, the King of Yan, can retain the throne and pass it on to the next generation of Crown Prince is still unknown."

King Yan still listened to Yao Guangxiao's words.

"Thank you Master, I have learned from you! So what should we do next?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "We just need to wait and see what happens next. When His Highness returned to the capital southward, Lao Na once went to the outside of the pass to prevent His Highness the King of Han from entering the pass. But now there are reports of war coming from Liaodong, and Uliangha led his army to attack the pass.

It turns out that this gives His Highness King Han a good reason to go back."

"As for the King of Han leading troops to attack the soldiers of Guangning this time, it depends on what the civil and military ministers in the court and His Majesty Jianwen think of it. If it is a big deal, it is a rebellion. If it is a small matter, it is actually the King of Han.

His Highness is eager to return to Beijing, but no matter what, His Highness the King of Han cannot escape the blame this time, and it may also be the beginning of His Majesty the current Emperor's reduction of vassal status."

After hearing the words, King Yan stood up and walked slowly: "The master of this king's book once told me that we should unite other vassal kings as much as possible, with King Han as the main one, because I have soldiers and horses and can fight, and King Han has the

forage."

"Then should we help Old Twenty at this time? After all, without him as a big source of food in the rear, I really feel that if one day we raise an army, we will only be struggling to support ourselves.

"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "Your Highness, you must not show up at this time. According to our original plan, even if we want to reduce the vassal, we will not start with King Sai."

"But now that His Highness King Han's incident has happened, the imperial court's decree and the royal guards are probably on their way. If His Highness tries to stop him at this time, I'm afraid that the court's spearhead will be transferred to His Highness in an instant. Your Majesty is worried now.

If you have any reason to attack His Highness, wouldn’t this be like handing the hilt of the knife to someone else?”

King Yan said: "But if something happens to King Han, what should I do? Do I have to sit back and watch this happen?"

Yao Guangxiao also said helplessly: "Your Highness can only do this now. I hope that His Highness the King of Han can be safe and resolve this crisis."

…

Zhu Song has been staying at the palace for the past few days, not going anywhere, not even looking at the cornfield, because if Zhu Song's guess is correct in the past few days, the royal guards sent by the imperial court should be arriving soon.

Jinyiwei came to cut down the vassal. Although Zhu Song had the imperial edict as his final trump card, he still didn't know whether Jianwen would completely overturn the table and become a human being.

If this is the case, let alone an imperial edict, what is the use of another edict? Unless it is to bring the old man back from the underworld, maybe Jianwen will be afraid.

At this moment, Lao Cao hurriedly came back to report.

"Your Highness, they have entered the city! The imperial court has sent imperial guards to enter the city!"

Zhu Song looked at the panicked Lao Cao.

"Why are you panicking? Are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?"

Lao Cao nodded as he remembered the things His Highness asked him to get.

"Your Highness has already done it. Your Highness really wants to do it."

Zhu Song sighed: "At this point, I can't think of a better way. I can only do this for the time being. As long as this period can be avoided, as long as the court does not attack me first, I can continue to fight with you.

Let them play!"

Zhu Song said as he walked towards the backyard. At this moment, the bedroom had been decorated and there was blood everywhere on the ground.

Princess Han looked nervously at Her Highness, who looked pale.

"Does Your Highness really want to do this?"

Zhu Song smiled bitterly: "My efforts for so many days cannot be in vain. After all, bloodletting is a very painful thing."

Zhu Song took off his clothes as he spoke, only to see a bandage tied around his left shoulder. There was blood in the bandage, and all the blood on the ground came from Zhu Song without exception.

Zhu Song planned to pretend to be sick and deceive the group of royal guards.

Mainly using animal blood such as pig blood, dog blood, etc. Zhu Song was afraid that he would not be able to hide it from these guards. After all, it was the emperor's secret service. There must be something. When these guys tortured prisoners in the prison, they knew best about human blood.
