[Section 293] The plan
The poison indeed came from Liu Ruyun.
It was Zhu Yunwen who instructed him to do it after discussing with Liu Ruyun. Now Zhu Yunwen and Liu Ruyun have formed an alliance and are bent on regaining control. The next step is for Zhu Yunwen to return to the throne and Liu Ruyun to become a marquis.
In the past few months, Liu Ruyun thought about it and did a lot of things, and they went surprisingly smoothly. The poison that Liu Ruyun put on Zhu Di was not a fatal poison, but a poison that could control the mind. Zhu Yunwen thought carefully about it, if he was poisoned to death
Zhu Di, according to the imperial edict, the cabinet will immediately welcome Zhu Gaochi to take over. Zhu Gaochi has handled government affairs and logistics in the court for many years. The ministers in the court get along well with him and have many party members. Moreover, Zhu Gaochi has a kind personality and is very popular with the courtiers. It is unlikely that he will be defeated once he takes office.
Replace.
That group of literati will fight tooth and nail for Zhu Gaochi, and it will definitely not be an easy path to rebel again.
Zhu Gaochi's son, Zhu Zhanji, is even more popular among people, and is regarded by the Zhu family as the master of ZTE. If Zhu Gaochi is assassinated, Zhu Zhanji will be welcomed to the throne in advance. This man is smart and bold, making it even more difficult to replace him.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen believed that stabbing Zhu Di with a sword was not the best way.
The best way is to confuse Zhu Di's mind and let him issue an order to depose the prince. Then Zhu Yunwen appears, forcing Zhu Di to admit his mistake of usurping the throne and tell the world. Then he abdicates the throne to welcome the real dragon emperor, and justifiably allows Zhu Yunwen to return to the Forbidden City.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to walk back to the Forbidden City in an honest manner, so he had to be able to control Zhu Di's mind.
This plan is bold but impeccable.
Liu Ruyun, who is in a high position, is now the most suitable candidate to get close to Zhu Di.
The timing of Liu Ruyun's appearance was when there was a power vacuum among Zhu Di's cronies. It was the right time and the right place. He killed Wudang, destroyed Shaolin, and unified the world. Liu Ruyun's martial arts was higher than that of the White Dragon King, and his contribution was greater than that of Zheng He, and he was docile and obedient.
No wonder Zhu Di obeyed his advice.
Zhu Gaochi visited Emperor Yongle every day to pay his respects, and he naturally noticed something was wrong. Zhu Gaochi felt that the emperor was often absent-minded and in a trance. It was very different from his usual wise and wise state. That day, he lost his temper with Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi mentioned this concern to his teacher Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi accidentally learned that the chief physician of Tai Hospital, Dr. Sun, had resigned and returned to his hometown, so he found someone to inquire secretly. At first, Dr. Sun was hesitant, but later, under coercion and inducement, he really asked about the suspected poisoning of Zhu Di. Dr. Sun said that people from Tai Hospital
They had all been bribed by Dongchang, and no one dared to tell the truth. He even suspected that the poison came from Tai Hospital.
Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi were shocked when they heard the news. This was a regicide rebellion in Dongchang. Could it be that no one was in charge? Zhu Gaochi didn't believe in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. There was no one who could take care of Dongchang. But Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong went out to operate for a long time before they realized that
, in just six months, Liu Ruyun has controlled everyone, and no one dares to speak for Zhu Gaochi.
How did Liu Ruyun achieve this?
It turned out that Zhu Yunwen was hiding in the Dongji Office, and he discovered that the Seven Guards of Dongmen had sent spies everywhere to monitor the ministers, and recorded all the deeds in books in detail. The dirty things written in these books were all the dirty things the ministers had done secretly.
Things include bribery, adultery, murder, etc.
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he saw it. Didn't this mean he had obtained the leverage of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty?
He sent Liu Ruyun to visit ministers and ministers one by one, and confided the information to these officials. Everyone knew that Liu Ruyun belonged directly to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di was fond of killing ministers. No one who heard these records would not kneel down and beg for mercy, and beg for the net to be opened.
one side.
In this way, relying on the information collected by the White Dragon King in the past, Liu Ruyun controlled almost all the officials above the third rank in just six months. Except for the prince's masters Yang Shaoqi, Yang Rong, and Hu Hui.
Yang Shaoqi discovered that the situation had reversed, and that Zhu Di was vaguely dissatisfied with the prince. For the prince's safety, Yang Shiqi took it upon himself to send dead men to investigate Dongchang.
The dead man was discovered not long after he entered the East Factory undercover and was injured by Liu Ruyun. He dragged his dying body back to Yang Shiqi and told Yang Shiqi that there was a mysterious white-clothed swordsman in the East Factory who had great martial arts skills and Liu Ruyun was against him.
Follow his advice. That's why Yang Shiqi composed the song "The factory gathers two demons and refuses to bring down the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Bi didn't know so many details behind it. He only knew that Liu Ruyun and the swordsman in white in the East Factory were beyond his reach. This matter was more dangerous than looking for Emperor Jianwen.
