Chapter 89 The Prince's Resolution

When the prince thought of this, he suddenly coughed.

The dull cough sounded like a big drum, hitting the prince's heart and lungs one after another, and each stroke seemed to take off the prince's heart and lungs from his body.

"Your Highness." Someone said immediately outside.

The prince took a few deep breaths, finally suppressed the cough, tried to breathe calmly, and said, "It's okay." But after just saying these two words, he coughed twice again. Finally, he coughed out a mouthful of yellow thick phlegm, which was a stagnation.

This is the old problem of the prince.

According to modern age, the prince is still young, only in his forties.

However, according to the age of this era, the prince is no longer young. The climate in Southeast Asia has made Prince, the northerner, seriously unacceptable. The humid and rainy environment and various tropical diseases have tortured a large number of northerners, including the prince.

The prince is worse than Zhu Qizhen.

Not to mention anything else, it is much worse in terms of self-control.

Zhu Qizhen has been exercising for decades. Although the heavy work has made him unable to do it after he was 60 years old, the prince did not have such persistence. Especially when he was guarding Jiaozhi, he was greedy for the beauty of Nanyang, and had played with everything.

When I was young, I didn’t think anything, but when I was middle-aged, I came to the house in the morning.

When I was hosting the war in Myanmar, I was even more sad and my health became worse and worse.

Although Zhu Qizhen was critically ill once in the capital, he was actually just unconscious for more than a day. The prince's physical condition may not be much better than Zhu Qizhen.

It’s just that the prince has been hiding it.

The prince was very worried that if this continued, the one who waited for him would always be the crown prince and would never be able to return to the capital. This was something that the prince could not accept.

The prince took a deep breath and said, "Transfer to Wang Zhi."

Wang Zhi arrived soon.

The prince said, "Your reward will arrive soon. If you are not satisfied with the title of Java Hou, I may be able to change it. If it is decided, it will not be easy."

Wang Zhi smiled shyly and said, "If you are worried about it, your highness is not bad. You don't need to change it."

Wang Zhi was named a lord for the first time and was named Javanese, which made Wang Zhi feel unsatisfied. After all, although the titles are usually place names, they are all old places in China and have many elegant names. The name Javanese is not good at all. So I came to ask the prince, hoping to change a name.

But the matter of title is the most serious.

Almost the most important etiquette activities in the country. Like the posthumous title, once decided, they rarely change them.

At that time, the prince comforted Wang Zhi and asked him to wait. When he was granted the title of marquis, he could change his name to a better sound.

Speaking of which, it happened several years ago.

Now Wang Zhi has lost his immatureness and has no intention of being the first, and he doesn't care about any good and bad names. Besides, Wang Zhi has also made the name Java. Everyone knows that there is a powerful general in Nanyang, namely Javane. Now that he has given up, Wang Zhi is a little reluctant to let go.

The prince laughed and said, "It's good, but generally speaking, after the title is granted, the court will give the first land, and most of them are in two capitals. The last time you were granted a title, you didn't return to the capital, so I asked the grandson to help you deal with it. Now you don't return to the capital to deal with the family affairs?"

Not all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty were from Beijing or Nanjing, but after the title was granted, almost the court would let these nobles settle down in the capital, which was both a reward and a restriction.

Needless to say, the rewards are needed.

How every inch of land is valuable in the Ming Dynasty? I won’t go into details here. A mansion that meets the rank of nobles, even if the mansion itself is not mentioned, the land alone will be worth tens of thousands of taels. In addition to the land near Beijing.

In ancient times, there was no division between arable land and construction land.

Land near Beijing is likely to be involved in urban expansion, and the benefits of these nobles will only be higher.

There is no need to say about the limitations.

The court should control the relatives of these generals and not be distracted from the matter of leading troops outside to fight.

Wang Zhi was awarded a title last time, but he did not return to Beijing to deal with the family business. The prince asked the grandson to arrange someone to deal with it on behalf of Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi said: "I am unwilling to leave Your Highness. After Your Highness returns to the capital, it will not be too late for me to deal with it. I will not fly anymore."

The prince smiled softly, but his tone became heavier, and he said, "If you are alone, you will never be able to go back. What should you do?"

Wang Zhi was slightly stunned, and immediately stood up and saluted and said, "Your Highness, where is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you are born to be a crown prince, and no one can deny it. If you want to return to the capital, no one can stop you. No matter who it is, I will fight for your highness to have a bloody path."

Wang Zhi is showing loyalty.

In fact, Wang Zhi knew very well that the prince treated him as a confidant minister, and with his sister's relationship, there was no separation between him and the prince.

When the prince ascended the throne, he might sooner or later take a seat in the cabinet. If the prince cannot ascend the throne, the deposed prince may still be possible to survive, but the deposed prince's gang will undoubtedly die.

Wang Zhi has no other way to go.

So, all he can do is go all the way to the dark.

"No matter who it is," it has actually implied that even the emperor himself would have set a way out for the prince and a way out for himself.

"Okay." The prince's tone became serious and said, "Gou wants you to go back first and stand for Gu. At the same time, he will take the people on the boat away in batches."

Wang Zhi immediately agreed and said, "Yes." Then hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I will never refuse to die for you. But the army gathered in the capital, I-----",

The people on the ship were the three thousand private soldiers hidden secretly by the prince, not on the Ming army account book. There was no need for imperial edicts to be transferred, and the Ministry of War was attached to it, only the order of the prince was required. These thousands of people were selected by Wang Zhi. Although they could not be said to be the number one in Southeast Asia, they were also the elite among the elite.

Although there are only a thousand people, if a war really starts, it is OK to use ten thousand people.

However, when the number of troops garrisons near Beijing was at least, there were probably 100,000 or 200,000, which was caused by the special environment of Beijing. Not to mention anything else, less than 100,000 people, even the walls of Beijing may not be able to stand full.

What can these 3,000 people do in this large barracks of Beijing?

Wang Zhi was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to sacrifice himself in vain.

The prince smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

How the prince arranged it? I didn't tell Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi didn't dare to ask.

Wang Zhi said: "I obey the order."

In fact, it is not possible to say that the prince has a complete plan.

The prince knew that this matter was very confidential and must not be disclosed at all. The entire plan was tortured by the prince alone and slowly formed. It was notified whoever the plan was used, and the rest was not prepared to notify. The previous plan was just a plan.

But today, the prince finally ordered the determination to no longer surrender his hope to Zhu Qizhen. He wanted to take the initiative.

Although the prince knew that there were countless problems in this and he needed to solve them slowly, he really had arrangements for the Wang Zhi issue.

It is absolutely impossible to launch in Beijing.

The prince knew Jinyiwei and Dongchang very well. He had both cooperation and competition with Jinyiwei and Dongchang people.

This is determined by the relationship between the prince and the emperor.

When the prince had just left Beijing and was training everywhere, Zhu Qizhen handed over the local Jinyiwei to the prince, allowing the prince to observe a different Ming Dynasty through the Jinyiwei's eyes. Anything should not be seen only shows the phenomenon. However, after the prince was full of wings in Nanyang, the tasks of the local Jinyiwei and the East Factory became to monitor the prince.

The prince had to hide many things from the Jinyiwei.

After years of dealing with it.

The prince had a deep understanding of the distribution of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and knew very well what Beijing City was.

What Wang Zhi was only worried about was the combat effectiveness of Beijing Jingying, but he ignored whether this was the Jinyiwei base camp in the East Factory? It can be said that the person who sets up a stall here is probably the secret stakes and eyeliners of Jinyiwei.

Even without the Beijing army, it is completely impossible to make trouble in Beijing.

But the emperor may not have been in Beijing all the time.

Now is an opportunity.

The emperor was on patrol and there were only 20,000 cavalry by his side. The Jinyiwei Thousand Houses of Jinyiwei in various places were not as capable as the North and South Town Fushi in Beijing. This was not even the ability of the personnel, it was purely a matter of the density of the personnel. There were tens of thousands of Jinyiwei, almost half of them were in Beijing.

Where can I find this man in the Jinyiwei in various places?

However, the prince needs another chance.

A chance to go back, even if it is a short time. The prince felt a headache about this. If his guess was not wrong, it would be difficult for the emperor to let him go back, so he would go back temporarily.

This issue was of no use to discuss with Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi was good at fighting, but he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the intrigues within the court.

Just as the prince sent Wang Zhi away and slowly figured out what to do in his heart, Yang Tinghe came to visit him and brought news that he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Highness, just now, Chen Rui, the Marquis of Pingjiang, has heard that the army of Heshuote Khanate is advancing eastward and seems to be going to march. The troops on the Marquis of Pingjiang are not enough. Please send troops to support him."

"What?" the prince frowned and said, "What's going on?"

During the war before, the prince drew some of the troops of Chen Rui, the Marquis of Pingjiang, and most of them were naval soldiers. But what is this Khanate? How strong is it now? How many troops are there? Is it something? Is it something else that I want to attack this time?
