King Yan Zhu Di returned to the mansion with a heavy expression.
As a vassal king, although he needs to attend court in the morning when he is in the capital, he has nothing else to do.
Compared with ministers who have to continue working after going to court, it is relatively easier.
"Your Highness, what happened in the court that made Your Highness feel so unhappy?"
Returning to the mansion, Zhu Di summoned Yao Guangxiao, and then retreated. Apparently they had important matters to discuss.
Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao asked.
Zhu Di snorted coldly when he heard this, and then explained.
"This morning at court, my father suddenly announced that in order to solve the famine and speed up the construction of my eldest brother's mausoleum, 3,000 people from the victims were recruited to Xiaoling Mausoleum to implement work-for-relief."
Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty's actions may be that the drunkard's intention is not to drink."
Zhu Di nodded and affirmed: "This is natural. Thousands of craftsmen have been working on eldest brother's mausoleum long ago. It has been basically completed, leaving only some fine carving work."
"How can these civilians do such a thing? They are so rough and rough. Not to mention the construction, the destruction is more or less the same."
"How could my father not even understand this? Obviously these three thousand civilians did not go to build the eldest brother's mausoleum. They must have other purposes."
Yao Guangxiao said with some confusion: "There are so many three thousand people. Could it be that they have other intentions, that is..."
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Guangxiao said: "Just to dig a grave, we wouldn't need so many manpower."
Yao Guangxiao did not directly say that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to dig up Zhu Xiongying's grave to check the condition of the bones.
But Zhu Di was naturally able to understand the meaning.
"Master, what I don't know is that ten years ago, on the second night after my eldest nephew was buried, an earth dragon suddenly rolled over."
"It happened to be in the mausoleum of my eldest nephew, which also caused the entire mausoleum to completely collapse."
"At that time, my father also sent people to excavate, but the collapse was too deep and there were too many places to move. My father was afraid of damaging the feng shui of the ancestral mausoleum, so he stopped."
"Now that Zhu Ying has appeared, with my father's temperament, he will dig out and find out the truth no matter what."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice, and the past palace secrets were also told in this way.
Yao Guangxiao immediately understood why Zhu Di was in a bad mood.
Obviously, if this is really dug out, the bones will be laid out there.
Then the Zhu Ying who is alive now is undoubtedly fake.
All Zhu Di's arrangements were immediately cancelled.
Once Zhu Yunwen is canonized as the emperor's grandson, everything will be over and there will be no way out.
Although Zhu Di now wants to be the emperor, he has no thoughts of rebellion in his heart.
Even if Zhu Yunwen really becomes the emperor, Zhu Di will not, or rather dare not, rebel.
With just the few soldiers and horses he has in hand, wouldn't rebellion be a recipe for death?
Later, I was forced to have no other choice. If I didn't rebel, I would die, and if I rebelled, I would die, so I risked my life to take advantage of it.
Due to many factors, Zhu Di finally succeeded by luck.
Throughout ancient and modern times, many vassal kings rebelled, but the only one who truly succeeded was Zhu Di.
This has a relationship that cannot be ignored with luck, strength, military talent, and Zhu Yunwen's playing of a bad hand to pieces.
If there is a flaw anywhere, it will be a failure.
So Zhu Di planned to get the throne, but he didn't expect to use rebellion to get it.
Of course, Yao Guangxiao didn't know the secrets of the palace mentioned by Zhu Di. After listening to it, the doubts in his mind suddenly disappeared.
"From this point of view, this matter is certain." Yao Guangxiao said in a deep voice.
Zhu Di nodded and said with some reluctance: "Master, look at what methods are available now."
The Xiaoling Guards who guarded the Ming Dynasty were extremely loyal to the royal family, and Zhu Di couldn't get involved at all.
Moreover, my father will definitely arrange for the surveillance of Jin Yiwei on such matters. It would be too difficult to conceal the situation and make a surreptitious move.
Yao Guangxiao was silent for a long time, thinking quickly about how to deal with it.
Seeing this, Zhu Di waited quietly, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
After a long time, Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Highness, I wonder if there is a way to let this poor monk go to the Xiaoling Mausoleum to have a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di said: "The ancestral mausoleum is heavily guarded, and even I, the king, are not allowed to enter without permission."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Di said again: "But there is a way. I can tell my father that I care about my mother and want to pay homage to her. I am sure my father will not refuse."
Yao Guangxiao nodded. Zhu Di's reason was very good. His son paid homage to his mother. As a father, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly had no reason to refuse.
So Yao Guangxiao explained: "The poor monk once followed his master to learn the art of yin and yang, and he also dabbled in Kanyu."
"Your Highness said that the earth dragon rolled over, causing the tomb to collapse. In the opinion of the poor monk, it was a defect in the ground."
"If the poor monk can carefully survey the land and calculate its geography, His Highness will only need to arrange for a few people to break ground according to the direction determined by the poor monk when digging."
"Then the poor monk is 70% sure that it can cause a second collapse."
Yao Guangxiao said confidently.
The master he once followed, Xi Yingzhen, was extremely proficient in yin and yang, astronomy and geography.
Yao Guangxiao is the heir to the mantle. Not to mention transcendence, he still learned this in 1989.
Yin Yang Shu Shu itself contains the knowledge of Feng Shui and Kan Yu. Yao Guangxiao can figure out a general situation in just a few sentences.
When Zhu Di heard this, his frown suddenly relaxed.
If the mausoleum can really cause a second collapse and be buried deep underground, perhaps the father's idea can be dispelled.
Digging a tomb is not like robbing a tomb, where you just dig a hole and get in.
Rather, it requires ground breaking over a large area and then continuous digging.
The deeper you dig, the larger the area you move.
It doesn't matter other places, but the imperial mausoleum involves the Feng Shui national destiny of the entire Ming Empire.
Furthermore, even if Yao Guangxiao has the ability to cause a second collapse, he must also be able to cause a third collapse.
The so-called can be one, two, but not three.
If it really causes three collapses, it is an ominous sign.
Even the father will have to worry about three points when the time comes.
"Then I'll trouble you, Master. After the court tomorrow morning, I will ask my father to pay homage to my mother."
After deciding on this matter, Zhu Di began to arrange personal guards to lurk among the refugees.
It was at this time,
Those strong men who came from the desert have already received orders from Zhu Ying.
Kill all the prisoners without mercy.
Then, after transporting the goods to the designated location, they ride away on horseback.
After breakfast the next day,
Zhu Di, who was originally going to visit his father and ask for sacrifices for his mother, stood in front of the empty Huagai Hall and felt sad alone.
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly left the morning court and went out of the palace to see his eldest grandson.
He did not go to Huagai Hall to handle government affairs at all.
