It’s not that Li Yunze looks down on people, it’s because since Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, the princes of the Ming Dynasty have basically become synonymous with waste.
He would never worry about such opponents. What really concerned him were the civil servants who were full of tricks and had no bottom line.
"Keep an eye on these guys." Li Yunze told Liu Mian in front of him, "They have no brains and don't know what confidentiality is. Especially when they are having fun and drinking, they dare to say anything. Let your people
Listen carefully and remember. I will report back after finishing the update."
"I accept your order." Liu Mian saluted respectfully.
What he was thinking was that the prince was quite good at this matter.
After all, civil servants have no sense of confidentiality. They dare to talk about anything after a few cups of horse piss. There are really not many people who know.
"It's naturally impossible to control the Jinyiwei for a long time here." Li Yunze habitually wooed people and granted him official positions and made a wish, "If things go well, the position of commander of the Jinyiwei will be yours in the future."
Liu Mian was overjoyed and saluted repeatedly, saying that he was definitely willing to die for the prince!
When Zhao Jian Wang Zhu Gaosui was in charge of Jin Yiwei, none of them had much motivation for work.
After all, if it becomes normal for the royal family to take charge of the royal guards, then they will have no chance of success.
Now, it can be considered as seeing the light.
As for where Jin Yiwei stands, is there any need to say?
The prince here has strong soldiers and horses, and all the power of the world's soldiers and horses is in his hands.
What else is there beyond the turban besides a mouth and a pen?
As the ancients said, "The emperor would rather have the talent. He who has strong soldiers and horses will listen to him!"
Whoever has strong soldiers and horses will be on his side.
After waving Liu Mian and the others out, Li Yunze sat on a chair and continued to read various information.
When he finished reading, he stretched hard.
This time it is much better than the world in the late Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was almost nothing except the reputation of great righteousness.
Even Jin Yiwei has to spend his own money to buy it.
The army can only be rebuilt, and the civil servants are examples of negative examples.
It's like now. We have everything, including soldiers, horses, money, and all we have left is a status.
The status that Li Yunze was waiting for did not keep him waiting for too long.
After spring, Zhu Gaochi's physical condition began to deteriorate, and he even fell asleep while sitting on the dragon throne during court meetings.
The imperial doctor prescribed a warm and tonic prescription, but rarely took the initiative to offer advice, asking Your Majesty to rest and not overwork.
For an imperial doctor who always emphasizes that no fault should be regarded as merit, this is already a very responsible thing to say.
Maybe I feel embarrassed, or maybe I really feel that my health is not good.
Zhu Gaochi had a rare moment of rest.
He felt that his physical condition was gradually improving, but others did not see it that way.
After Yang Shiqi and others checked the prescription, they were all silent.
The headscarves who have read poetry and books basically know some pharmacology, and naturally they can also read prescriptions.
The prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors are not complicated at all, they are just for extending your life!
The civil servants were really anxious.
How long have these good days passed? All kinds of expenses have just begun, and the pockets are not yet full. Why is such a good emperor leaving?
Secretly inviting famous doctors to examine the prescription, and after confirming that there was nothing they could do, the civil servants quickly took action.
"Let the prince go to inspect Yingtian Mansion?" Zhu Gaochi looked better and looked at the ministers in front of him doubtfully, "Does he need to go?"
"His Majesty."
Yang Pu said frankly, "If you want to move the capital, you naturally need the prince's permission. Please ask the prince to visit Yingtian Mansion, so that he can see the scenery of Jiangnan."
In order to win over the Han'er in the North, Zhu Di moved the capital to Shuntian Prefecture despite many objections.
But Zhu Gaochi, instigated by civil servants, wanted to move the capital back to Jiangnan.
After all, for civil servants, the south is their base.
After returning to Jiangnan, I can act freely like a fish in water.
Zhu Gaochi also agreed, because the weather here in the north is bad and the environment is not as beautiful as that in the south of the Yangtze River.
The only problem now is that no one knows what the prince is thinking.
If the prince objects, then this matter will be difficult to handle.
"Okay." Zhu Gaochi himself also missed the scenery of Jiangnan and the beauty beside the bridge. "I will go and talk to the prince later."
The civil servants breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
They looked at each other for a few times, but they mentioned that the capital was about to be moved, and the princes' departure from the fiefdoms could be postponed.
Zhu Gaochi naturally accepted them all.
When the civil servants said goodbye and left, they were still very emotional.
God doesn't understand why such a good emperor, the Holy Emperor, was short-lived!
As for Li Yunze, they wished that Li Yunze could be like Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao when he inspected the city of Chang'an. It would be best if he never returned and died of illness.
When Zhu Gaochi came to the East Palace to find Li Yunze and asked him if he would like to go south to Yingtian Mansion to have a look, Li Yunze's expression was very strange.
Specifically, it's like debating whether to be a good person or not.
"Really want to move the capital to respond to Tianfu?"
"Yes." Zhu Gaochi said frankly, "It's dry and cold here, and it costs a lot to transport food through canals. It's better to go back."
Li Yunze paused for a moment, but then continued to ask, "There are many civil servants and people from Jiangnan. Aren't you worried that they will be in dire straits when they go back?"
"Don't be prejudiced against literati." Zhu Gaochi waved his hands repeatedly, "They are also serving the country and the people. With their help, I can feel much more relaxed all day long."
"Hey."
Li Yunze frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, does he know why the late emperor moved the capital here? Doesn't he know that the climate here is bad and there is a shortage of food? Doesn't he know that the gentle countryside in the south of the Yangtze River is the most intoxicating?"
When Zhu Di was mentioned, Zhu Gaochi felt a little unnatural.
He was speechless and found it difficult to answer for a moment.
Finally, he choked out a sentence: "The old man likes to fight, and he actually moved the capital to such a remote place just to make it easier to fight."
At this point, Li Yunze no longer wanted to talk any more.
Zhu Di grew up in the military and was well aware of the sufferings of the people.
But Zhu Gaochi grew up in Prince Yan's Mansion and lived a life of wealth and wealth.
Character is shaped by the environment and cannot be changed.
Zhu Di, like Zhu Yuanzhang, knew the nature of the civil servants, so he always suppressed them hard and did not give them a chance to rebound.
But Zhu Gaoxu felt that civil servants were available and could share his work, so that he could have more time and energy to enjoy.
As for the consequences, it's not that he doesn't know, but he thinks it's acceptable to reach out and grab some.
Li Yunze knew this, so he didn't bother to say anything about the emperor guarding the country.
It's meaningless and of no use.
"I understand." Li Yunze nodded slowly, "I'm going to Yingtian Mansion."
"Ah? Agree?" Zhu Gaochi couldn't believe it. Li Yunze actually agreed so easily?
"Yes." Li Yunze smiled and said, "I agreed."
When he stood up, Li Yunze said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body."
Li Yunze already knew the plans of the civil servants.
It is nothing more than sending him away from afar first, and then when the emperor is in power, he will immediately help a certain prince to ascend to the throne and win the title of righteousness first.
As for the nobility, of course, there are various rewards and titles to win over people.
They judge others by themselves, thinking that as long as the benefits are provided, the nobles will definitely switch sides and side with them.
At that time, an imperial edict asking Li Yunze to guard the ancestral mausoleum will be able to arrange this good saint's grandson.
Finally, you can also arrange for Jianghu strongmen to do the thing of 'wiping out everyone within three feet of the enemy's country'.
Throughout the ages, civil servants have basically used this routine to get things done.
Unlike Wu Xun, it is so simple and clear to just use the knife.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't know that his question and answer had completely disappointed Li Yunze.
After he left the capital and went south to Shuntian Prefecture, he drank soup and took medicine for a while. Zhu Gaochi felt that his body was gradually improving.
game.
On May 27th of the first year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaochi, who had just finished the hide-and-seek game, suddenly fell into a coma.
The imperial doctor prescribed emergency medicine, but it had no effect.
As a last resort, he could only take risks and use golden needles to prick his acupuncture points and add century-old ginseng to force him to regain his consciousness.
When Zhu Gaochi regained his consciousness, his first words were, "Improvingly order the prince to return to the capital."
Although there were problems like this, Zhu Gaochi really never thought about Prince Yi.
However, at this point, it was no longer up to him.
Out of concern that another emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di would appear in the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants decided to take matters into their own hands.
Historically, they were willing to support Xuanzong because Zhu Zhanji was more obedient. Although they still supported Zheng He's voyages to the West, they abandoned Annan.
And he has a lot of trust in civil servants, just like Zhu Gaochi.
Now, with Li Yunze's various behaviors before, just like Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.
The civil servants finally made up their mind to depose the prince and replace him with someone else!
"Are you going to rebel?!"
After two days of forced delay, the civil servants who were unwilling to send someone to deliver a message to Yingtian Mansion had to face Empress Zhang first.
They want to depose the prince and replace him with someone who suits their own needs, rather than really want to rebel against themselves.
So when facing Queen Zhang, she can only use secret weapons.
"Mother." A young man wearing a python robe quickly walked into the Qin'an Palace, knelt down to Queen Zhang and cried, "I am your son too, help me."
Empress Zhang looked in disbelief and looked blankly at the young man at her feet: "Zhan Yong, how could it be you?"
"Mother." Zhu Zhanyong did not call his mother the queen, but used a more intimate title.
He took a few steps on his knees and hugged Queen Zhang's legs. "All the ministers do not want my brother to succeed to the throne, but are willing to help me take the throne. Please help me~~~"
"You are a fool."
Empress Zhang also burst into tears: "Your brother is as heroic as your great-grandfather and grandpa. How could he be manipulated so easily? When he comes back, you will be in trouble."
"It's too late." Zhu Zhanyong, who was already confused, only had the chair in his heart at this time. "The civil servants all supported his son, and Wu Xun also received money. The most important thing is that he is in Yingtian Mansion.
By the time he comes back, it will be too late."
Empress Zhang, who was crying, just shook her head.
If he was arranged so easily, wouldn't the prince have failed the late emperor's arrangements?
Suddenly, the cries and screams of the eunuchs came from the inner hall: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has passed away~~~"
When the dull bell rang in Shuntian Mansion, many neatly dressed warriors in the military tent in the military camp outside the city all looked at Li Yunze who was sitting on the chair.
"The money you receive should be regarded as hard work."
Li Yunze's expression remained as usual and his voice was gentle, "Zhan Yong has promised to be promoted to a higher rank, and I all agree with it."
Having said this, he stood up holding the Yongle Sword.
