Zhu Hongyu's original words to her were that Li Guangyuan was the uncle of the state, and if their child would be a Ming prince in the future.
Li Guangyuan, a member of the natal family, must stand up!
By letting Li Guangyuan out now, he is paving the way for the future.
The reason why Zhu Hongyu said this was not just to comfort Li Lingxiu, but because that was what he thought in his heart.
Zhu Hongyu still wants Li Guangyuan to continue climbing up!
The reason is very simple, Zhu Hongyu wants to play checks and balances!
Check and balance who?
Check and balance Zheng Chenggong!
It's not because Zheng Chenggong is disloyal, but because as the situation develops, Zhu Hongyu no longer regards Zheng Chenggong as his partner.
Treat him more as one of your subordinates!
But if this is the case, among the relatives of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the Zheng family will be too great.
The influence of the relatives is too great, which is expected to have a considerable impact on Zhu Hongyu's future appointment as the heir apparent.
In order to prevent any trouble in the future due to the establishment of a reserve, Zhu Hongyu began to make arrangements in advance.
Under the current situation where the Zheng family cannot be suppressed, Zhu Hongyu's solution is not to suppress the Zheng family, but to support Li Guangyuan.
To ensure that the rules of inheritance for the eldest son do not cause any accidents!
For future planning, Zhu Hongyu actually does not want his successor to be a genius, as long as he is an ordinary person with a normal mind.
Because, according to the political system of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is no civil strife and no problems with the inheritance system, there will be no external threats.
Even if the emperor is a fool, the political situation can still run smoothly!
The absurdity of Emperor Wuzong, Jiajing's hobby of cultivating immortals, the old homeboy Wanli who has not been in court for decades, Tianqi's hobby of carpentry...
The Ming Dynasty had a lot of weird emperors, but didn’t the political situation never cause any major troubles?
Finally, a diligent Chongzhen emerged. Alas, the Ming Dynasty fell.
It’s pretty damn ironic when you think about it!
Why do so many slaves in later generations praise our Qing emperor as a saint, and there is no one who is a fool before and after?
That's because the politics of the Qing Dynasty were highly centralized, and all power in the world was in the hands of the emperor.
As long as a weird emperor appears, the political situation will collapse in a matter of minutes.
Because for the Qing Dynasty, the role of the emperor was irreplaceable!
Therefore, the Qing Dynasty's perverted heir training mechanism is not what they want, but they have to do it.
In other words, except for boasting about the sageness of the Qing Emperor, those subordinate minions have nothing to do with the political system.
But if you look back, you can find it.
The political system of the Ming Dynasty was quite suitable for a constitutional monarchy.
It can even be said that we are only one step away from establishing a constitutional monarchy!
Zhu Hongyu is willing to be the one who kicks him!
He got the constitutional monarchy done!
Therefore, compared to a talented, wise and courageous successor, Zhu Hongyu would rather have a mediocre ordinary person as his successor.
A king with great talent and great strategy cannot tolerate his rights being restricted!
Zhu Hongyu understands this very well, because he is like this. If anyone dares to restrict his rights, he will really kill someone.
And a mediocre ordinary person may feel unwilling after his rights are restricted!
But after all, my ability is limited and I can’t do anything big!
When the time comes, at worst, Zhu Hongyu will retreat behind the scenes and take control of the overall situation.
Zhu Hongyu is now very confident in his physical fitness. He may be able to break the world record of the longest-lived emperor in history!
Well, it seems pretty good to unlock a mysterious aura that has controlled the world for decades.
…
Guangzhou Mansion, Jianguo Mansion!
Zhu Hongyu received specific news that Wu Sangui had raised troops.
Although Wu Sangui did not raise the banner of anti-Qing and completely break with the Qing Dynasty, he only claimed that he wanted to clear the emperor and kill Obai.
It seems that they have left some room for relaxation for themselves and the Qing Dynasty!
But it’s not!
Because, as we all know, to Qing Jun is equivalent to rebellion.
Wu Sangui's desire to clear the emperor's side was not much different from direct rebellion.
After Wu Sangui raised the flag, he immediately mobilized his troops to march north, dividing his troops into two groups.
He entered Shu all the way, occupied the Shu road, and launched a tentative attack on Hanzhong, which is connected to Shu.
Go all the way down the river and head towards Hunan!
The reason why he didn't go to Hubei was because Wu Sangui's maniaphobia has not been completely cured.
They were unwilling to fight against the Qing cavalry mass on the great plains north of the Yangtze River.
I thought I would stay south of the Yangtze River for a while and wait until the war situation in the south of the Yangtze River became clear before talking about anything else.
If the Ming army wins, it goes without saying that Aixinjueluo Sangui will continue to lead his troops northward, flank the Qing emperor, kill Obai, and inherit the Qing Dynasty.
But if the Qing army wins, Wu Sangui will have to decide according to the situation.
If the Qing army was victorious, he would seize the opportunity to go down the river and annihilate the main force of the Qing army, which had suffered heavy losses after the victory.
But if the Qing army's victory was not serious, then Wu Sangui would have to weigh it carefully.
There is a high probability that we will shrink back to the three southwestern provinces and rely on our geographical advantages to hold on for a while!
Looking at the detailed report on the movements of Guan Ning's army, Zhu Hongyu showed a look of joy on his face.
"Hahaha!"
"Good thing, good thing!"
"..."
Regardless of whether Wu Sangui acted a little cowardly, his rise in troops would definitely cause huge political turmoil to the Qing court.
One of the San Francisco dynasties in the south was destroyed and two were rebelled against!
Can the Qing Dynasty still trust the Han people in the world?
This is the most important thing!
It can even be said that Wu Sangui's revolt almost gave the crumbling Qing Dynasty a hard kick.
Zhu Hongyu sat on the chair, his body relaxed, showing a rare lazy look.
The overall situation of the world today is really becoming more and more clear.
The Qing Dynasty, which was as unshakable as a majestic mountain at the beginning, is now on the verge of collapse.
It can even be said that the situation faced by the Qing Dynasty now is more dangerous than the situation faced by the San Francisco Rebellion in history.
The slogan of driving out the Tartars and restoring China, which once seemed out of reach, seems to be about to come true.
As long as he can defeat the main force of the Qing court heading south this time!
That slogan, like a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, will become a reality.
At the very least, after this battle, the territory south of the Yangtze River will return to the rule of the Han family.
Every time he thought of this, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but be excited.
When the time comes, what should you do?
How to deal with the relationship with Geng Jingzhong and Wu Sangui?
Do you want to choose to be patient with them for the time being, go all out in the Northern Expedition, and finally end the Manchu Qing Dynasty?
Or should we learn from Duke Kaishen, who must first settle down when he comes out to fight outside?
Zhu Hongyu was a little undecided, but then he smiled.
Because, he found that he was thinking too much!
He has not yet dealt with the main force of the Qing court heading south, and he cannot deal with the sword hanging above his head.
No matter how much you think about it, it’s all vain!
A large corps of more than 200,000 people, placed in any country in this era, would definitely have a nation-destroying level of combat effectiveness.
Zhu Hongyu also felt guilty!
However, for Zhu Hongyu, any pressure that cannot crush him will become the driving force for him to take off.
"Go down with the order and summon all the generals in the army to discuss matters!"
The war in Guangxi was over, and the main force of the Ming army was free again. It was time for him to plan other things.
Now that Wu Sangui has launched troops against Hunan, out of everyone's unspoken understanding, Zhu Hongyu will not go to Hunan again for the time being.
