Geng Shaonan touched the short beard on his chin and continued, "If the Taizu's will is really just a treasure map or something, then Yan Shifan might not bet on me. So, I think it would be much better to force Yan Shifan to express his opinion and stand on my side before knowing the specific content."

Feng Wu frowned slightly: "But if Yan Shifan didn't know the content of the will, he would not cooperate with his lord. Keep watching."

Geng Shaonan laughed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "In the past, he could wait and see, but now he can't do it anymore, because the initiative in the past was in his hands, and even when I restored my identity, I asked him to help. But now, the edict of Taizu's secret book proves my identity as Prince Zhu Ming. Now I force him to express his opinion, either my ally or my enemy. If I don't stand on my side now, then if I get the throne in the future, he will not have any good results. If you are Yan Shifan, what would you choose?"

Feng Wu sighed happily: "Lord, you are forcing Yan Shifan to choose now. Before he can open the last trump card of Taizu's will, he must not choose. At least now it seems that you have a great chance of winning."

Geng Shaonan nodded and said seriously: "Yes, once he is loyal to me, even if he is on my pirate ship, he will never get off again. Even if there is no Taizu's will or this will not work as expected, he has no other choice. He can only accompany me along the way. Even if it is a court struggle, as long as the strict party helps me with all his strength, I may not lose to the prince. Feng Wu. This is the only feasible choice. Do you understand?"

Feng Wu smiled slightly: "The lord is really a god. Feng Wu can only look up and admire him. So, will we go to the capital now? It will take a while for Yan Shifan to come back from Nanjing, why don't we go directly to Nanjing City?"

Geng Shaonan sneered: "Do you really think Yan Shifan is in Nanjing? That's just a cover he put out. Since he sent Luo Longwen and his substitute to meet me, he would definitely not be in Nanjing to avoid suspicion. If what I expected was right, he should still be in the capital now, thinking about how to clear his relationship with Luo Longwen's affairs."

Feng Wuqi said: "Didn't he go on a mission to Jiangnan by the emperor's order? Can this be fake?"

Geng Shaonan smiled and said, "The emperor is far away. He just pretends to be sick on the road. He is not up to him to decide. He only talks about the cold or other reasons. He will turn back halfway. He must not make himself related to the Japanese connections in Nanjing. I heard that in Nanjing, several of his followers are secretly negotiating with the Qingliu Party members of Xu Jie to smooth the matter out, otherwise they will also make the handle of the Qingliu School in their hands. This time, because Luo Longwen is with the Jinyiwei people, the Qingliu School must consider Lu Bing's position. According to past experience, it will probably be left alone."

Feng Wu sighed: "In the most prosperous area of ​​Nanjing City, there are such large-scale fights and involves Japanese communication. Such things can be easily covered up. The Ming Dynasty is really beyond cure."

Geng Shaonan nodded: "When I didn't seize the throne before, I didn't dare to imagine that such a thing happened, but now that I already know, there is no way. Before seizing the throne, I have to rely on their various forces. This is also one of the main reasons why I want to make peace with Xu Linzong, because behind Xu Linzong and Wudang is the Qingliu School. If I want to destroy the Yan Party, I can't destroy them anymore."

Feng Wuqi said: "Don't the lord want to use the Yan Party to seize the country? Why do you want to eliminate the Yan Party again?"

Geng Shaonan looked serious and said seriously: "Because the Yan Party has exceeded the bottom line of my tolerance. In the past, I just thought that they were just greedy for money and autocracy, and framing loyal and kindness was just a party struggle. Although it was bad for state affairs, it was not out of control. But now it seems that Yan Shifan has the intention of being in touch with foreign countries and separatist and independent. This time he sent Luo Longwen to negotiate with me, and the condition was to open several ports, which was completely under his control. Even the guards of these ports were to be left to the Japanese to be responsible. This was to lead the wolf into the house. Once I wanted to attack him in the court, he would flee to these ports, lead the Japanese army invade, and even establish himself as the king."

Feng Wu gasped: "He really dared to do this?"

Geng Shaonan sighed: "After all, I am using conspiracy to seize the world, so I am not in a good position. If I really turn against him, he can announce the process of my capture of the throne while relying on the Japanese as support. If I advance, I support another royal family. If I retreat, I become the king and govern Jiangnan. The Japanese have fierce fighting power. If the internal and external responses, half of Jiangnan will no longer be owned by the Ming Dynasty. His so-called self-protection method refers to this."

Feng Wu gritted her teeth: "Then the stern party is really necessary. Fortunately, the lord did not go to Nanjing this time and did not agree to his conditions. However, if you force him to express his opinion with a gift, he will probably reiterate these conditions with you."

Geng Shaonan's eyes flashed coldly: "I can't make concessions on this condition," the Ming Dynasty and the thousands of people are not bargaining chips that can be used for trading. Let him find a way to be loyal to me first, and then talk about something else. It is okay to make him greedy for money, but it is absolutely not okay to seduce foreign aid. After I seize the country, I will slowly cut off the Yan Party with Lu Bing, and then use the Xu Jie party in the court to restrain it. In this way, I will take two steps to slowly shake the Yan Party's foundation. Only after a few years can I attack them."

Feng Wu looked at Geng Shaonan with admiration: "The lord is so amazing. With such a brilliant court method, Feng Wu really seemed to be dreaming when she heard it."

Geng Shaonan smiled slightly: "These are all means of party struggles in the courts in history books. You are my daughter's family, so it's useless to learn this. However, this time I want to reconcile with Qu Caifeng to find the possibility of negotiating with Xu Linzong, but now it seems that this is screwed up."

Feng Wu's face changed: "What's wrong with this? Did Qu Caifeng refuse to agree to mediation in the center?"

Geng Shaonan sighed: "Maybe I was too much this time. She really treated me as Xu Linzong. She had many intimate actions, and I also pushed the boat around, so I got the secret. Now she knew that I was pretending to be Xu Linzong, and she was embarrassed and angry. She wanted to tear me apart and would rather die than plead with me."
