Prince Zhu Heyu did not expect that his seventh brother Zhu Hejian, who had always been low-key, would actually find a way to help him.
For a moment, Zhu Heyu was both surprised and surprised, and he quickly asked: "Oh? Seventh brother, do you have any idea? Tell me quickly!"
Zhu Hejian asked instead, "Third brother, who is currently preventing you from controlling the situation in the court?"
A flash of anger flashed in Zhu Heyu's eyes, and he said: "Who else can it be? Isn't it Huang Yourong, the elder who stayed in Beijing to assist in the government? He relies on the strong support of another elder Shen Changmao from the faction, and he will not use me as the supervisor of the country at all. The prince takes it seriously and always makes things difficult for me...How can he be an auxiliary to the government? It is simply chaos in government!"
Zhu Hejian nodded and said: "As I guessed, the leaders of the various factions in the court have now followed my father on the southern tour. There is nothing to fear when there is no leader. Only Huang Yourong remains as the auxiliary minister. In the capital, I also have the full support of Shen Changmao's party, so I can create trouble for the third brother."
After a pause, Zhu Hejian expressed his suggestion and said: "So, as long as you solve Huang Yourong, Third Brother, you can easily control the situation in the DPRK! And the reason why Huang Yourong is troublesome is because he targets Third Brother everywhere. , Secondly, he has the support of Shen Changmao's party. In this case, we just need to divert Huang Yourong's attention and let the Shen-Huang alliance break up."
Zhu Heyu shook his head and frowned: "I have also thought of these and used some methods, but none of them went well.br />
Zhu Hejian said slowly: "This is because, third brother, you haven't thought of the key point yet! In fact, whether it is to divert Huang Yourong's attention, or to split the alliance between Shen and Huang, as long as one thing can be done - that is Try to cause an internal conflict between the Shen and Huang factions! In this way, the Shen and Huang alliance will naturally break up. Huang Yourong will also divert his attention and become too busy to take care of himself. At that time, third brother, you have no obstacles and can naturally control it easily. The situation between North Korea and China is over!”
At this point, Zhu Hejian added meaningfully: "And, it is actually not difficult to do this!"
Zhu Heyu didn't realize at all that he was being led by Zhu Hejian unknowingly, but he became more and more curious and asked again: "Oh? What should we do?"
Zhu Hejian smiled softly and explained patiently: "Both Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao are ambitious people. In order to compete for power over the years, they have not only clashed repeatedly, but also had deep grudges. Although they have formed an alliance now, It’s just an expedient measure to fight against Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen. They must guard against each other in private, and they will never be honest with each other! Therefore, there are many flaws in their alliance that can be exploited! "
Seeing Zhu Heyu nod thoughtfully, Zhu Hejian added: "This time my father is on tour to the south. Huang Yourong stayed in Beijing to assist the government, while Shen Changmao accompanied him south. Huang Yourong is the only one in the capital. , and the Shen Party officials only followed Huang Yourong's lead. The two parties seemed to cooperate closely, but Huang Yourong has always been the most greedy for power. I believe he will take the opportunity to infiltrate the Shen Party and expand his power. And Shen Changmao left Beijing. Precautions must have been put in place before. The two sides can be said to be seemingly incompatible but completely different from each other. This is one of the flaws;
The repeated conflicts between the two factions in the past have caused officials from both factions to suffer greatly. Many officials from the Yellow Party were suppressed by the Shen Party, and many officials from the Shen Party were persecuted by the Yellow Party. In this way, although both Shen and Huang The two factions have formed an alliance, but among the two factions, there must be many officials who are resentful and dissatisfied that they have to cooperate with their former enemies. This resentment will burst out as long as it is provoked a little. This is the second flaw;
In addition, during this southern tour, my father was accompanied by many important officials from the court, including several of Huang Yourong's right-hand assistants, such as Young Master Zhang Cheng, Minister of Rites Lin Wei, University Scholar Huo Zhengyuan and others. In this way, The Shenyang and Huang parties currently seem to be powerful, but in fact Huang Yourong's internal control has been greatly weakened. This is the third flaw!"
Having said this, Zhu Hejian looked up at Zhu Heyu and said with piercing eyes: "With these three flaws, as long as we take advantage of the situation and go with the flow, we want to split the Chen-Huang alliance, cause conflict between the two factions, and divert Huang Yourong's attention. It’s not difficult! By that time, Huang Yourong will be unable to stop the third brother from controlling the situation in the court."
Hearing Zhu Hejian's analysis, Zhu Heyu was extremely surprised.
These days, Zhu Heyu has been thinking about how to break the Shenhuang alliance. The "princeling" officials have also put forward some ideas, but there is absolutely no one who can think clearly, orderly, and seemingly powerful like Zhu Hejian. The Shen-Huang Alliance has been analyzed by Zhu Hejian, but it can be destroyed easily like a chicken or a dog.
However, although Zhu Hejian pointed out the way forward for Zhu Heyu, if this road is to be followed smoothly, it still requires some thought and means.
Therefore, while Zhu Heyu kept nodding in agreement, he was also secretly thinking about specific plans. However, although several seemingly feasible plans emerged in Zhu Heyu's mind, these plans all had obvious flaws, but they were blocked by Zhu Heyu. He Yu rejected them one by one.
Seeing Zhu Heyu's tangled expression, a trace of disdain flashed through Zhu Hejian's eyes again. He felt that although Zhu Heyu was the crown prince, he completely lacked the talent of a conspirator.
Moreover, Zhu Hejian was really worried about the ability of the "princelings" to do things, and was very worried that he had clearly pointed out the way forward for the "princelings", but the "princelings" ended up messing up the matter.
Therefore, Zhu Hejian said again: "Speaking of which, this kind of sowing discord is really not suitable for an upright person like Third Brother. Moreover, once this matter is spread in the future, it will also damage your reputation, Third Brother." ...That’s all, if you, Third Brother, can trust me, you might as well leave this matter to me.”
"Are you going to do it?"
Zhu Heyu looked at Zhu Hejian seriously, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Zhu Hejian and Zhu Heyu were brothers with the same father and mother, so Zhu Heyu did not doubt Zhu Hejian's position, but in Zhu Heyu's impression, Zhu Hejian always kept to himself and never made friends with court officials. With little power and influence, how could Zhu Hejian complete his plan under such circumstances?
Zhu Hejian guessed what Zhu Heyu was thinking, and added: "However, my brother did not have the slightest power or influence in the previous dynasty, so I hope that the third brother can give me some support and let my officials act according to my instructions, otherwise My brother’s plan cannot be completed either.”
Seeing Zhu Hejian's confident look, and considering that he really had no specific feasible plan, Zhu Heyu was already inclined to leave this matter to Zhu Hejian.
However, considering that Zhu Hejian has been in poor health during this period, Zhu Heyu still had some concerns and hesitated: "Of course I can trust Qi brother, but Qi brother, your physical condition..."
Zhu Hejian had a firm expression and said firmly: "As long as I can relieve Third Brother's worries, my body is nothing. What's more, I'm only responsible for using my brain and lips, so I won't be too tired."
After hearing what Zhu Hejian said, Zhu Heyu finally made up his mind and said: "In this case, I will leave this matter to my seventh brother. I will instruct Cheng Yuandao, Lu Chunxiao, Guo Tang and others to follow your instructions. You can go ahead.
Just do it...even if you fail, I won't blame you. This thing is already very difficult, so you don't need to feel any pressure."
Seeing that Zhu Heyu was thinking about himself so much, Zhu Hejian looked moved and lowered his head and said: "Please rest assured, third brother, I will definitely not let third brother down!"
However, as he lowered his head, Zhu Hejian couldn't help but flash a proud smile on his lips.
Zhu Hejian never expected that this matter would go so smoothly.
With Zhu Heyu's guarantee, Zhu Hejian can not only help Zhu Heyu complete the "Business Tax Reform Plan", but also personally push Zhu Heyu into a situation where he is in danger of no return and is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Opportunity to get in touch with “princeling” officials!
Considering that there are many officials within the "princeling party" who are dissatisfied with Prince Zhu Heyu because of the "commercial tax reform plan", wouldn't this contact opportunity be a great opportunity for him to take advantage of Prince Zhu Heyu's power?
Thinking of this, Zhu Hejian couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Zhu Hejian had a vague premonition that the time for him to go to the front desk was not far away!
In the temple, when you plot against others, you are often plotted against by others! The only difference is the level of means.
In fact, just as the two brothers Zhu Heyu and Zhu Hejian were discussing how to deal with Huang Yourong, Huang Yourong was also considering a plan to deal with the crown prince Zhu Heyu!
