【In the twelfth year of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxu seized the opportunity and began to frame the princelings, intending to incite Zhu Di to dethrone Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince.】

【Zhu Di found Yang Shiqi and asked about Zhu Gaochi's situation, and Yang Shiqi's answer once again pulled Zhu Gaochi back from the edge of the cliff.】

【The political situation at that time was extremely complicated. Because Zhu Di publicly reprimanded the prince and imprisoned many of the prince's cronies, many ministers believed that the prince was dead.】

【Many ministers turned against each other one after another, or simply resigned and retired. The prince Zhu Gaochi also fell into isolation. The reality made him once again experience the harshness of the world and the coldness of human relationships.】

【The ministers who had been fawning over were all gone at this time. They were afraid that they would have some relationship with the prince and affect their future. In this case, Yang Shiqi started a question-and-answer contest with Zhu Di.】

【When Yang Shiqi faced Zhu Di's question, he answered calmly and calmly: The prince is filial, and anyone who is late will be punished by his subordinates.】

【Zhu Di heard Yang Shiqi's answer, chose to believe Yang Shiqi, and finally forgave Zhu Gaochi】

【Since it was not the prince's intention, and since the prince did not intend to be negligent, Zhu Di was relieved.】

【It takes courage for Yang Shiqi to do this. When the prince is alone, taking the initiative to take responsibility for the prince requires taking a great risk.】

【Although Zhu Di did not depose Zhu Gaochi, he was never soft on his officials. Many of the ministers who assisted the prince have been imprisoned.】

【At this time, Yang Shiqi put the blame on himself. If Zhu Di gets angry, then Yang Shiqi is likely to be put in jail by Zhu Di as well.】

【But Yang Shiqi knew this, but still resolutely chose to take the responsibility on himself, and would rather go to jail than implicate the prince.】

【Yang Shiqi used his actions to tell those who are vacillating that not everyone can be bribed and not everyone follows the trend.】

【Judging from the situation at the time, Zhu Gaochi's position as crown prince will be lost sooner or later. It is not a wise move to continue to follow Zhu Gaochi, and it will also provoke Zhu Gaoxu to retaliate.】

【Therefore, Yang Shiqi did this for the sake of morality in his heart. This is what makes him different. Although he is not rigid, he is 343 a person with righteousness in his heart.】

【Just like thirty years ago, he was in poverty but still selflessly helped his friend. Thirty years later, he did something that pleased his mother.】

【Thirty years have passed. Although he is in a high position and has good food and clothing, his actions do not violate his life creed.】

【When a person is poor, his ambition is not short-lived, and true love emerges from adversity】

【It's just that everything he did eventually brought disaster to himself. After all, Zhu Gaoxu's plans were repeatedly sabotaged by Yang Shiqi, and Zhu Gaoxu had already regarded him as a key target.】

【In order to retaliate against Yang Shiqi, Zhu Gaoxu ordered the close officials he bribed to speak ill of Yang Shiqi in front of Zhu Di.】

【After Zhu Di heard many rumors and slanders, he finally couldn't resist the instigation of people around him and sent Yang Shiqi to prison.】

【After Zhu Gaochi learned that Yang Shiqi had been arrested, he was extremely anxious, but he was powerless to do anything about it, because in his current situation, he could only protect himself, but he could never protect Yang Shiqi.】

【Yang Shiqi was indeed very calm about this. He even asked someone to bring a message to Zhu Gaochi before going to prison: Your Highness has a kind heart and will become a great hero in the future. I hope that Your Highness will take care of you. No matter what situation you encounter in the future, you must persevere. Go on, never give up easily】

【At this moment, Zhu Gaochi finally realized that the person in front of him was his most important support minister and his partner in thick and thin!】

【Yang Shiqi was arrested, and Zhu Gaochi's position was already in jeopardy. Zhu Gaoxu finally took the initiative for the first time, and his conspiracy finally came to fruition.】

【The prince was hit hard, and the civil service group that helped the prince to speak was also on its deathbed. The situation was excellent and the future was very bright.】

【However, everyone has a weakness, that is, getting carried away. Because Zhu Gaoxu was in the dark before, he could often slander Zhu Gaochi, but now he is in the light, and Zhu Gaochi will also watch when he makes mistakes.】

【Zhu Gaochi did not wait long, (chdj) Zhu Gaochi paid a heavy price for his arrogance】

【With victory in sight, Zhu Gaoxu found his role model in the history books and regarded himself as such in the following years.】

【This example is Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. He often boasted: I am brave and brave, am I not like the King of Qin, Li Shimin? 】

Datang, Zhenguan period

"How does this Zhu Gaoxu resemble me?"

Li Shimin felt a little confused when he saw that Zhu Gaoxu actually boasted that he was like himself. If Zhu Di was said to be like himself, he could accept it. But when Zhu Gaoxu said that he was like himself, he really couldn't see any resemblance.

Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside him, thought for a moment. He said thoughtfully:

"Perhaps, he compared his eldest brother to..."

Changsun Wuji didn't say the last name, but everyone present understood its meaning.

After Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but snorted and said:

"Is he still planning to carry out the Xuanwumen incident in front of Zhu Di?"

"Just him?"

Li Shimin didn't say anything more, but he was very contemptuous of Zhu Gaoxu, because he had identified Zhu Di as himself, and he didn't think that a person like Zhu Gaoxu could stage a mutiny in front of him.

【What Zhu Gaoxu said naturally contains extremely profound political implications, and the profound meaning is self-evident.】

【Li Shimin and Zhu Gaojiu are both the second sons. Li Jiancheng corresponds to Zhu Gaochi, both are princes. Even their younger brothers have a rivalry. Li Yuanji corresponds to Zhu Gaosui, both are third sons.】

【Director Zhu Gaoxu hopes to replay the scene hundreds of years ago】

【His idea is very good, but when Li Shimin did this kind of thing, he never said it openly.】

【Zhu Di did not want Zhu Gaoxu to become Li Shimin, so Zhu Di gradually developed a bad feeling towards Zhu Gaoxu's arrogance and domineering attitude.】

【At that time, Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to ask Zhu Di to increase his bodyguards, which aroused Zhu Di's vigilance.】

【In May of the 13th year of Yongle, just when Zhu Gaoxu was getting carried away, Zhu Di suddenly issued an order to transfer Zhu Gaoxu to the Qingzhou area.】

【Qingzhou is located in Shandong, not far from the capital. It is a prosperous fiefdom, many times better than Yunnan.】

【But Zhu Gaoxu was unwilling to submit to the vassal state, because he could only have a chance to seize power if he stayed in the capital. Therefore, he began to behave in front of Zhu Di and refused to accept the vassal status.】

【Zhu Di was already wary of Zhu Gaoxu, so he ignored Zhu Gaoxu's cheating, but told him straightforwardly: How can he live in the capital permanently since he has been granted a vassal title?】

【Zhu Di's constant attacks on the prince were just to tell the prince not to rush to seize power. He did not want to depose Zhu Gaochi, but his actions gave Zhu Gaoxu the wrong signal.】

【It was precisely because of this wrong signal that Zhu Gaoxu thought he had an opportunity, so he became arrogant and domineering, which ultimately angered Zhu Di.】

【At this moment, the princelings, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally found an opportunity to fight back, and their counterattack gave Zhu Gaoxu no chance to regret it.】

【Because Yang Shiqi was still very important in Zhu Di's heart, Yang Shiqi didn't stay in the prison for long before he was released unharmed. However, his fellow prisoner Yang Pu was still reading in prison.】

【Yang Shiqi, who escaped from prison, naturally supported Zhu Gaochi as always, but he became low-key again, secretly observing Zhu Gaochi's every move, and preparing for a counterattack against Zhu Gaochi】

【When Zhu Di planned to send Zhu Gaoxu back to his fiefdom, he called Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi again and wanted to ask their opinions.】

【Zhu Di said: I heard that there have been many rumors about the King of Han's lawlessness recently. Do you know?】

【This question was asked to Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi, but their reactions were quite different.】

【Although Jian Yi was loyal to the prince, he was also frightened. He was deeply worried that this was another trap. If he told the truth, he would suffer another disaster, so he pretended that he did not know.】

【Zhu Di was disappointed and could only look at Yang Shiqi, waiting for Yang Shiqi's reply.】

【But Yang Shiqi was very excited. He had been waiting for this day for who knows how long.】

【Yang Shiqi understood that Zhu Gaoxu had lost the trust of Zhu Di, and now was the best opportunity to defeat Zhu Gaoxu. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back!】

【Naturally, Yang Shiqi knew all about Zhu Gaoxu's illegal behavior, but as a political veteran, he knew very well that with Zhu Di's indulgence, these illegal behaviors could not bring down Zhu Gaoxu. Xie Jin is the best example.】

【Therefore, he chose to be patient, endure until the right time, and then kill Zhu Gaoxu with one blow. Now was the time】

【Yang Shiqi told Zhu Di that the King of Han refused to go to the place where he was granted vassal status twice. Now that his majesty is moving the capital, he asked to stay in Nanjing, but his majesty understood his intention.】

【The words were very plain, but if you think about it carefully, you can see that these words are full of murderous intentions. They want to kill Zhu Gaoxu. Yang Shiqi is really sophisticated in his tactics.】

【Zhu Di was shocked by Yang Shiqi's words. Zhu Gaoxu refused to leave again and again. Now that the capital is about to be moved, he insists on staying in Nanjing. What on earth does he want to do?!】

【You know, the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty at that time was in the south of the Yangtze River. When Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, unified the world, he achieved his hegemony in Nanjing.】

【If Zhu Gaoxu is allowed to establish a foothold in Nanjing and then goes to the north, then whose world will be his in the future?】

【We can't delay it any longer, let him get out immediately!】

【In March of the fifteenth year of Yongle, Zhu Di ignored Zhu Gaoxu's repeated pleas and forcibly sealed him to Le'an Prefecture. Zhu Gaoxu was very dissatisfied, but had no choice but to do so.】

【He has realized that Zhu Di hates him, and he has no chance to use legal means to inherit the throne in this life.】

【Otherwise, like his father, he would rebel and take the throne, or else he would go to Le'an Prefecture and be a vassal king for the rest of his life.】

【But will Zhu Di give him a chance to rebel? 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【If you look at the location of Zhu Gaoxu's fiefdom, you will find that Zhu Di had actually guarded against his move.】

【Le'an Prefecture is very close to Beijing, but far away from Nanjing. Zhu Gaoxu was transferred away from his hometown and placed under the emperor's nose. Even if there was to be an attack in the future, it could be destroyed at dawn and dusk, and Zhu Gaoxu would not be given a chance at all.】

【At this point, the battle for the crown prince has temporarily come to an end. After a long and arduous struggle, the princelings have stabilized the throne of the prince.】

【The princelings won a great victory, and Zhu Gaoxu's many years of plotting and planning were finally in vain. At least Zhu Di would never consider making him the prince again.】

【But how could Zhu Gaoxu give up? He had put everything into it, how could he give up like this?】

【Although he ruled Shandong, Zhu Gaoxu completely transferred his conspiracy activities underground and colluded with his associates to prepare for a comeback.】

【This time, Zhu Gaojiu planned to wait for the right moment and prepare to launch a mutiny. This was his only chance.】

【Although he is currently trapped in Le'an Prefecture, Shandong Province, Zhu Gaoxu believes that he will never stay here like this all his life.】

【Zhu Gaoxu understands how much Zhu Di likes to fight. Sooner or later, he will go out to attack the Tatars. At that time, he will definitely be called by his father to charge into battle again.】

【By then, everything will still have a chance】

【The only solution for now is to hibernate and wait quietly until the day comes when the time comes.】.......The dividing line..
