Chapter 22 Shangguan Haitang asks for a meeting at the top of the Forbidden City!
Baohe Hall.
"Shangguan Haitang wants to see you!"
Zhu Houzhao slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Pass it on."
The Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi suddenly led 10,000 imperial guards south.
He handed over everything in Hulong Villa to Shangguan Haitang.
Based on emotion and reason.
This Shangguan Haitang should come to meet the emperor to explain the affairs of the Huolong Villa.
We also need to find out why my godfather left so suddenly.
...
just.
It was beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectation.
The first thing Shangguan Haitang said when she saw Zhu Houzhao was: "Your Majesty! Prince Ning is likely to rebel!"
This change made Zhu Houzhao slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted.
Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao?
It would not be surprising if this person had the intention to rebel. After all, in history, he had raised an army to rebel.
"What's the evidence?"
Zhu Houzhao's indifferent tone startled Shangguan Haitang slightly.
She raised her head slightly and looked carefully at the young king in front of her.
Zhu Houzhao still looked the same as before, but his temperament was completely different from what Shangguan Haitang had seen before. If Zhu Houzhao was just a well-behaved and docile crown prince in Shangguan Haitang's heart at that time, he was now a true emperor. Even without any deliberate pressure, he still brought her a sense of oppression.
Shangguan Haitang's expression suddenly became serious, and her attitude truly changed.
"Your Majesty."
"When I took over Hulong Villa today, I found some information!"
"Mongol envoy Zhao Min once visited Prince Ning's mansion!"
"Moreover... Prince Ning's appearance is very similar to Your Majesty!"
This is the news Shangguan Haitang learned today.
With just these two pieces of information, Shangguan Haitang was able to guess a lot of things with her intelligence.
Then she summarized a lot of information about Hulong Villa.
The news she received made Shangguan Haitang extremely frightened.
Ye Gucheng, Lord of Baiyun City, also appeared in Prince Ning's Mansion within half a month.
And then only two days passed.
The news spread in the martial arts world that Ye Gucheng challenged Ximen Chuxue to a battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
If there is no conspiracy here, Shangguan Haitang would never believe it!
And there is hatred between Prince Ning and Zhu Houzhao's line.
Shangguan Haitang had also heard about it before: "Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the intelligence I have collected."
...
Zhu Houzhao picked up the information about Hulong Villa and started reading it.
At the same time, he also compared this information with the memories in his mind.
soon.
Zhu Houzhao sorted out the cause and effect, and sneered: "It seems that Prince Ning wants to collude with the Mongols."
"You also want to assassinate me on the peak of the Forbidden City on a full moon day?!"
In history, this King Ning has already caused a huge wave.
Even if it weren't for Wang Yangming, who was determined to learn great things, it would have been impossible.
I am afraid that Prince Ning will drag the Ming Dynasty into the abyss.
In this world of Zongwu, King Ning is not only powerful, but also has an army of 100,000.
He even colluded with the Mongolian tribe through Zhao Min, and had Ye Gucheng, known as the Sword Saint, as an assassin under his command.
This momentum is obviously more massive and dangerous than in history!
"I have made the same judgment." Shangguan Haitang said in a deep voice: "After collecting intelligence today, I found that King Ning had long been planning a rebellion. He has been frantically amassing wealth and plundering people's property in Jiangxi for more than ten years. He has been raising private soldiers and then built the Peerless Building to gather talents from all over the country. What else could he want?!"
When Shangguan Haitang said this, she actually had some doubts in her heart.
That is why my godfather, Tiedan Shenhou, did not discover this in advance!
Prince Ning's evil ambitions had already been revealed.
The intelligence network woven by countless secret spies trained by Huolong Villa over the past decades is also extremely terrifying.
Shangguan Haitang had only taken over Hulong Villa for half a day.
You can discover Prince Ning's intention to rebel.
But my stepfather...
Shangguan Haitang felt a little depressed.
Zhu Houzhao keenly noticed the change in Shangguan Haitang's mood. He said calmly: "Prince Ning's rebellion is actually just a small matter. Looking back at the history of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many cases of princes rebelling. Isn't it rare?!"
The struggle between princes and imperial power!
This was a struggle that lasted throughout the Ming Dynasty.
It started with Zhu Yuanzhang’s enfeoffment of feudal lords, and then was reduced during the reigns of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di.
Regarding the issue of vassal kings, when has the Ming Dynasty ever been peaceful?
In fact, Zhu Houzhao did not take this trivial matter of Prince Ning to heart.
After all, even if Prince Ning gathered 100,000 soldiers, what would that do? What about Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City?
Is there anyone stronger than 100,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders?
How can Ye Gucheng compare to Xu Yanbing? !
In other words, the collusion with the Mongols really touched Zhu Houzhao's sore spot.
"But it is common for vassal kings to rebel, but colluding with foreign races is a way to seek death!"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the temperature around the palace suddenly dropped a lot: "Hulong Villa will do its best to investigate from today on, to find out how much power Prince Ning has, and how many people he has colluded with!"
"The most important thing is to find out what the Mongols are doing!"
Compared to the Ning Wang rebellion, the Mongols are the real enemy!
Kublai Khan, a great hero of his time!
Millions of Mongolian soldiers!
This lineup and strength are much stronger than King Ning's crazy money-making and plundering of people's savings.
"Yes!" Shangguan Haitang also knew the seriousness of the matter. She came here today just to give His Majesty a reminder.
"And..." Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "You give this information to the East Factory, the Divine Marquisate, and the Six Gates, and tell them that if they can't do the job, then just hand in your resignation!!"
The Ming Dynasty except for the Hulong Villa.
There is also Zhuge Zhengwo’s Shenhou Mansion, the Six Gates controlled by Yang Heting, and Cao Zhengchun’s East Factory!
These are extremely powerful forces.
But now it seems that these people are a bit useless.
When facing envoys from various countries, he looked weak and powerless.
Now even things like Prince Ning’s rebellion cannot be investigated clearly.
Three days after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, no one came to report. What does this mean?
This also allowed Zhu Houzhao to fully understand the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhuge Zhengwo was only concerned about stability and only wanted to maintain the situation!
Prime Minister Yang Heting has great ambitions, but he just wants to seize power, govern the country, and gain eternal fame for himself!
There is no need to say more about Zhu Wusi, a loyal and courageous man!
The entire Ming Dynasty civil service group is also not worthy of being reused.
The people in later generations who are afraid of death because the water is too cold and their scalps itch can explain everything.
The Ming Dynasty has been nurturing scholars for hundreds of years, only to produce these useless people!
If Zhu Houzhao wants to unify the nine provinces, he must start by rectifying the internal situation!
Promote people like Wang Yangming who can really get things done!
He even summoned various characters to help him govern the world!
