After the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the brothers moved to Chunhe Palace and had the second party.
But unlike the usual hilarious scenes, the atmosphere this time was a bit serious.
"What's the matter with you? Why are you all so grim-faced?" Monk Laosi and Zhanger, who had just returned to Beijing, were confused.
"There is something," the prince nodded and said thoughtfully: "You have been busy carrying on the family line this year and have not been exposed to many things. Let the third child tell you about it first."
"Okay." Zhu Bian cleared his throat and said sternly to the confused fourth child: "To put it simply, we princelings are at odds with the Hu Party!"
"Princeling?" The fourth child looked puzzled.
"They are the people with lofty ideals who firmly support the elder brother and fight against Hu Weiyong's party to the end!" Lao Liu pointed at the brothers and said with a proud face: "We are the core brothers in fighting tigers!"
"But," the fourth child asked still puzzled: "The eldest brother has already taken charge of the government on behalf of his father? How can Hu Weiyong be so virtuous as to compete with the eldest brother? His official position is nothing more than a decree."
"First, my father forbids it." The prince gave a wry smile and explained in person: "Second, Hu Weiyong is not only the prime minister of the dynasty, he is also the spokesperson of the Huaixi nobles, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium, and the maritime power. My father said that he wants me to learn from it.
, how to get along with powerful ministers, as a brother, I have to do it reluctantly and fight with him."
"..." The fourth child pondered for a moment. Although he seemed to be the same as the second child, he had a delicate mind and was very politically minded. He soon had an idea of the situation in the DPRK——
Obviously, the father lived in seclusion behind the scenes and pushed the prince to manage the government for him. The conflict between the king and the king, which had been very acute before, naturally turned into a conflict between the prince and Hu Weiyong.
My father felt happy and relaxed now, but my eldest brother just sat on the wax.
Although the prince is highly popular and is the next emperor whom everyone expects, he is not an emperor after all. Nor is he Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor who single-handedly created the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the pressure that the eldest brother puts on ministers is not at the same level as that of his father.
.
And the world is like this. Your kindness will always be misunderstood by others as easy to bully.
Naturally, those people who had never dared to jump under the high pressure of their father could not help but start jumping.
I now dare to say things that I didn’t dare to say before; I dare to do things that I didn’t dare to do before. Naturally, the eldest brother is under great pressure and has to cheer up to fight with them...
"Tell me, brother, what do you need me to do?!" After thinking clearly about the whole story, the fourth child immediately patted his chest and said, "It's no problem even if you ask me to kill the guy named Hu with a knife!"
"Haha, that's not necessary." The prince couldn't help but laugh and said: "My father said that he wanted me to have a good fight with him, but he didn't say that we should destroy him. You can appreciate the difference here carefully."
"I understand, fight without breaking up." Lao Si nodded.
"Smart, my fourth brother has a high level of understanding." The prince happily toasted with him and said calmly:
"My father has his own considerations. He may feel that now is not the time to take down Hu Weiyong. The so-called 'unpredictable power of heaven' is nothing like that. As sons, we can only follow the path drawn by him.
, a dojo is built inside the shell of a conch lion."
"Brother has been wronged." The fourth child said sadly.
"Actually, I didn't understand it at first, and I was even a little resentful." The prince put down his wine glass and sighed softly:
"I feel that my father ordered me to visit the ministers every day to handle government affairs, but he did not give me the right to replace the ministers. As a result, I was trapped in a tight siege, and the dignified prince had to quarrel with the ministers personally. Since ancient times, the most important thing for crown princes is to support their hopes. How can I be so early?
The end?"
"That's right." The brothers nodded in unison, complaining about the eldest brother, and someone else muttered something in a low voice, "Old thieves just like to do random things..."
"But then I thought about it clearly. My father should have learned from history, and was afraid that I would make the same mistake as the prince Yuan Shun." The prince chuckled lightly, and the clouds between his brows disappeared and said: "My father has taken great pains for us, as a son.
You can’t help but experience it carefully.”
The prince of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, who is now the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Aiyou Shili Dala, was also in charge of the government at the beginning, and also faced the challenge of the powerful minister Polo Timur.
He then brutally cut off Polo Timur's military power on the grounds that he was domineering in holding troops and hiding "rebellious ministers". Unexpectedly, Polo Timur also sent troops to the capital in the name of "Qing Jun Side" to plot to change the prince.
As a result, the prince was defeated twice and had to escape from the capital overnight. If Emperor Yuan Shun had not lost his country and fled north, he would never have had the chance to become emperor again...

"I think my father regards Hu Weiyong as a touchstone to sharpen me," Zhu Biao said in a low voice: "When the old man can control the situation, he will train me out, and there will be no danger of succumbing to the emperor in the future."
"It makes sense." The brothers nodded one after another. Even the sixth child didn't dare to say that the old thief was unfounded. After all, all dynasties will experience the second-generation crisis——
The rebellious group of founding heroes were actually suppressed by the founding emperor's personal prestige. But the founding emperor would always grow old, and imperial power would always have to be handed over. Can the second-generation emperor continue to suppress these increasingly arrogant uncles?
?It has become the biggest crisis related to the survival of the country.
If you can't resist it, you will be the Qin and Sui Dynasties. Only if you can survive it, you can become the Han and Tang Dynasties.
As the founding prince of the Ming Dynasty, the prince naturally had to experience this crisis. In fact, the fundamental purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's various arrangements was to help him and the Ming Dynasty successfully survive the second generation crisis in the future.
Once I figured this out, I suddenly became enlightened.
"If you want to find a touchstone for your eldest brother, Hu Weiyong is indeed the most suitable person." The brothers suddenly realized: "He is strong enough, crazy enough, and his influence is broad enough."
"What's even better is that his strength does not come from himself," Lao San said sharply:
"But part of it comes from my father, and part of it comes from Li Shanchang. The foundation is very weak. This can't be seen at ordinary times, but when it comes to a critical moment, he will die, so his father will rest assured and let him fight with his elder brother.
.”
"Regardless of whether the power is his own, but he is really strong now, which makes me a little embarrassed." The prince said, looking at the grown-up brothers with eyes filled with relief. "Fortunately, with you, Hu Weiyong will be able to
He is strong, and I am confident that I can defeat him!"
"Don't worry, brother, we are all brothers. If anyone named Hu dares to bully you, I will put his eyes in his eyes!" said the third child with a smile.
"I, the Black Tiger, will take out your heart!" Lao Si showed his fist as big as a jealous bowl.
"I'm a monkey stealing peaches." Lao Liu stretched out his hand and made a fist.
"I, I will make his anus wet..." Lao Wu whispered.
"Haha, okay, with so many princes serving him, Hu Xiang is really blessed!" The prince happily patted the third and fourth sons sitting on the left and right, and then said to King Yan:
"Fourth Brother, we are going to start with the easy stuff and then the tough stuff, and gradually cut off Prime Minister Hu's wings so that he can become a clean prime minister."
"Yeah." The fourth child nodded, and then the third child continued to brag:
"Lao Liu and I have captured the big families in Suzhou, which is the heart of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If we win over them, the big families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will have no choice but to surrender."
"Next step, we are going to deal with his maritime power with lightning speed!" Lao Liu said solemnly: "After tonight, destroy this imperial power!"
