"Your Majesty must not let King Yan go to America!"
Han Du firmly objected, "The emperor does not know that America is a real land given by God. The territory alone is larger than the current Ming Dynasty plus the South China Sea, and the land is vast and fertile. The central plain covers thousands of miles, and there is arable land.
It is more than twice that of the Ming Dynasty."
"Not only do rivers comparable to the Yangtze River pass through the Great Plains, there are also five great lakes, each of which is comparable to Poyang Lake."
"There is abundant water, countless land, and various minerals. If King Yan had taken root in the past, he would have been able to create an empire comparable to the Ming Dynasty in just a few decades."
"At that time, how should the Ming Dynasty deal with itself? How should the Emperor deal with himself? Your Majesty, you are letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"
Zhu Biao was shocked when he heard this. He had never known that America was like this.
Although there were indigenous people who followed Han Du to the Ming Dynasty, they were just tribes living by the sea. How could they know about the Central Plains?
Even though the imperial court later organized several fleets to go to America, they always hung around the seaside and never went deep into the interior.
Therefore, Ming Dynasty has always had a very limited understanding of the situation in America. Even Zhu Biao does not know what big rivers and lakes there are in America. ??
After lowering his head and thinking about it, Zhu Biao still insisted on his idea.
"After all, America is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. So what if the fourth child can make a comeback? I am not afraid today, and I believe my descendants will not be afraid in the future either!"
Zhu Biao has this confidence because Zhu Yunye makes him very satisfied in every aspect.
Looking at the extremely domineering Zhu Biao, Han Du disagreed. He quickly advised, "Your Majesty, who can say clearly what will happen in the future? Just like when the Emperor ascended the throne, did he ever think that King Yan would rebel?
?」
Of course Zhu Biao would not have thought of this, otherwise nothing would have happened to Zhu Di.
Han Du saw Zhu Biao deep in thought, "Your Majesty, we cannot control future troubles, but we can nip them in the bud now."
Zhu Biao looked at Han Du quietly and sighed, "Do you have to kill the fourth child?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that I want to put him to death. It's that if he doesn't die, the people of the world will lose their hearts, and there will be endless disasters!" Han Du said firmly.
"But he is my biological brother!" Zhu Biao was furious.
"He is also the sinner who dug up the Yellow River embankment!" Han Du stared back without fear.
Even Han Du could barely forgive Zhu Di when he raised his troops. After all, the people were not greatly affected. But Han Du would never forgive him for exploding the Yellow River, causing countless people to suffer in vain.
"How presumptuous! It's not your turn to make the decision yet! Stand back!"
Zhu Biao felt that he had lowered his attitude low enough. If Han Du still refused to let go, then he would not visit him again.
gas.
"Emperor" Han Du's eyes were red, staring at Zhu Biao with disappointment.
"Back off!"
Wang Yue quickly stepped forward and wanted to pull Han Du away.
Han Du resisted at first, but when he saw Wang Yue's winks one after another, he backed down.
During the three consecutive morning court meetings, Zhu Biao tried to ignore Zhu Di's culpability by avoiding the most important issues, but Han Du tried his best to stop him each time.
"What does Han Du want to do? Do you think that since he is the chief minister of the cabinet, there is nothing I can do about him?"
Even in Kunning Palace, you can hear Zhu Biao's roaring voice and the sound of smashing things one after another.
"Mother, won't you go and try to persuade me?"
Every time the female officer heard a sound, her shoulders could not help but tremble, and she looked at the empress with worry. Han Jingyun stood at the door of the palace and looked towards Qianqing Palace with helplessness on his face. One of these two men was her eldest brother. , one is her emperor, what can she do?
"Leave it to them!" Han Jingyun cursed angrily and turned back towards the imperial garden. She didn't care!
Wang Yue followed in front of him and endured waves of Zhu Biao's roars. It was as if he was in the midst of an angry wave and would be drowned at any time.
"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down."
Zhu Biao suddenly glared at Wang Yue, not bothering to argue with him, and shouted, "I have made a decree to remove Han Du from all official positions. If he wants to take charge of it, it depends on whether I agree or not!"
"According to the order!"
Wang Yue breathed a huge sigh of relief, that's fine
"The decree has arrived!"
When Han Du saw Wang Yue coming to announce the decree in person, his heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition lingered in his heart.
As expected, Zhu Biao dismissed all his official positions for Zhu Di.
Wang Yue looked at Han Du with fear and tentatively said, "Master, please accept the order."
Now Wang Yue doesn't ask for anything, he just hopes that Han Du can take over the imperial edict so that he can go back and deliver the mission. But he must not cause any more trouble.
Han Du knelt on the ground without saying a word, looking at the imperial edict handed to him, but did not reach out to take it.
"Husband" An Qing stretched out his hand and pulled Han Du's lapel.
Han Du sighed helplessly and took it with both hands, "I accept the order."
"My lord, please be at ease. Your Majesty still has great trust in your lord." After saying this, Wang Yue did not dare to stay at all, and quickly turned around and left, not even using the usual rules he had used in the past.
Without Han Du's opposition, Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin
With the joint efforts of the two, the court quickly punished Zhu Di.
Exile thirty thousand miles!
This punishment was extremely subtle. It not only saved Zhu Di's life, but also gave the people an explanation. After all, in the eyes of the people, being exiled for three thousand miles was a heinous crime. Wouldn't being exiled for thirty thousand miles be even worse?
Prince Yan's Mansion is still guarded by sergeants, but it is no longer completely closed to anyone as before.
With a creaking sound, the palace door was opened. Zhu Di looked up and saw the person he had longed for.
Hallucination? Zhu Di couldn't help but rub his eyes.
"My lord, are you okay?" Xu Miaoyun stepped forward quickly.
"Father" and the three brothers Zhu Gaochi also came to Zhu Di and knelt down to worship him.
Zhu Di was still a little confused, "Why are you here?"
He had arranged for Xu Miaoyun and others before raising the army. Didn't he escape the pursuit of the court? Zhu Di's face couldn't help but darken.
Xu Miaoyun explained in a low voice, "The news of the prince's defeat in the capital reached Shanxi, and those who had taken refuge with the prince panicked. After they were caught by the court, they confessed our whereabouts."
"Damn it!" Zhu Di couldn't help but yelled angrily, "We already knew these bitches were unreliable!"
Then he looked at Xu Miaoyun with pity on his face, and sighed, "I feel sorry for you. Now it seems that we have to go on the road together. But this is good, our family is not alone on the road to Huangquan."
"Father has misunderstood!" Zhu Gaochi quickly handed over his hand, "The emperor has never thought of killing father, and nothing will happen to us."
Zhu Di was suddenly startled, and the shock in his eyes was even greater than that of the few people he saw just now. He couldn't wait to ask sharply, "What are you talking about?"
Xu Miaoyun quickly comforted Zhu Di, nodded seriously and replied, "Gao Chi is right, the emperor does not want to kill us. He just wants to exile the prince to America."
When Zhu Di heard this, he was lying to say that he was unhappy. No one was willing to die if the ants could survive, and he was no exception.
But he was extremely unfamiliar with America, "America? Where is this?"
When Xu Miaoyun saw Zhu Di looking at him, she quickly shook her head, "I don't know either."
"I know, I know." Zhu Gaoxu immediately spoke out before his eldest brother.
"You know?" Zhu Di frowned slightly. He didn't even know something, but the second child knew it, which made his old face a little worried.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't notice the difference in his father's expression at all, and nodded quickly, "My son heard in the academy that America is 30,000 miles away."
Outside, there is a very wide sea separated from Ming Dynasty. But it is said that America is a good place. I heard that sweet potato and sweet potato are the
Han Du brought it back from America."
Zhu Di glanced at his silly son. Thirty thousand miles overseas, isn't this the end of the world? Is there any good place there? It's because this son is so easy to fool that he believed Han Du's words.
But in this situation, as long as he can, Zhu Di doesn't care about the ends of the earth. As long as he doesn't go to the underworld, he dares to go anywhere!
While Zhu Di's family was reminiscing about old times, Wang Yue walked in from outside the palace.
Because of his line of sight, Zhu Di saw Wang Yue at a glance, "What are you doing here?"
Wang Yue smiled and bowed, "Greetings to the prince. The emperor has a decree to summon the prince and his family to the palace."
Qianqing Palace.
When Zhu Di saw Zhu Biao, he did not salute. Instead, he walked in directly, moved a chair and sat opposite Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao watched his actions quietly, not paying attention at all. After he sat down, he asked, "What? Look at you, are you surprised?"
Zhu Di was silent for a while, then breathed out, "It's not an accident, it's a disappointment!"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the tea cup and leaned back on the dragon chair. He asked with a faint smile, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore and asked sharply, "We don't know what the father likes so much about you that he wants you to be the emperor?"
"Why can't I be the emperor?" Zhu Biao asked with a calm expression on his face without getting angry.
Zhu Di immediately said, "You are indecisive and benevolent. Since you have rebelled this time, you should resolutely kill him instead of just exile him. By doing this, aren't you encouraging other vassal kings to follow suit?"
"Your Majesty," Princess Yan heard from behind and couldn't help but scream.
Zhu Biao pressed his palm slightly to indicate that she was okay.
Then he looked at Zhu Di and said, "Han Du said the same thing as you."
Zhu Di's face was slightly unnatural. The reason why he said these words just now was because, firstly, this was indeed a doubt in his heart. Secondly, he knew that since Zhu Biao chose to let him go, he would not kill him easily again.
But Han Du is different. This bitch Han Du really wants his life!
Moreover, it is still the kind of thing that I want to think about day and night.
"Then why didn't your emperor adopt it?"
Zhu Biao did not answer, but said, "Didn't you say that you would do better if you were the emperor? I will give you this opportunity and let the world see whether I am qualified to sit on this throne."
Zhu Di frowned. Of course he could tell that this was not the real reason, but since Zhu Biao didn't say it, there was no way he could force Zhu Biao to say it.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Why can't I understand it?"
