Chapter 779: Some preparations before the poetry meeting
Zhu Di has eliminated all hidden dangers, and this time Zuihua Pavilion will attract them.
Not only those students with better knowledge, but more importantly, many informants of dignitaries are also among them.
As long as they can make a difference in Yingtian Mansion, they will all be watched closely by Zhu Di.
As Zhu Di expected, the officials were now on alert, and they started discussing countermeasures in groups.
"This poetry meeting is obviously a preparation made by the prince. If we have other concerns about this, I'm afraid we will be held accountable by then."
"But now we have no way out. If there are any concerns about this, the prince will definitely not stand idly by."
"It seems that the situation is really over for King Yan this time. If he is destroyed like this, then I really don't know what the prince will do."
Several officials have begun to secretly conspire. They don't want to put themselves in crisis like this.
They had clearly seen the situation between the DPRK and China before, and now the decisions made by the officials are likely to have some impact on them.
They cannot be hindered by anything like this.
At this time, they suddenly heard a noise outside, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Zhu Di appeared in front of them dressed in black.
Zhu Di's appearance made everyone stand in awe, and several officials stood up quickly.
"Why did you come out, His Majesty the King of Yan? You had already been banned from the palace for a long time. It would be a serious crime. If the news reaches His Majesty's ears..."
"My lord, how can you be so confused? Your Majesty has already issued an order this time. If the arrangements are not made properly, Your Majesty will not forgive you easily."
Zhu Di snorted coldly. He stepped forward and sat directly on the chair. Looking at the officials in front of him who usually discussed important matters with him, his expressions became extremely livid...
"I haven't been deposed yet, and you guys are actually here already starting to discuss how to clear up your relationship."
"Do you really think that my father doesn't know what you are doing? Don't forget that there are Yingtian Mansion's Jinyi guards in the dark, watching your every move."
It was okay if Zhu Di didn't say anything. Once he did, several officials were trembling with fear.
They never thought that they would be forced into a desperate situation by Zhu Di now. They had indeed thought before that even if something happened, they would still have a place in Yingtian Mansion.
But now I realize that things are not that simple. If Zhu Yuanzhang no longer trusts them, the consequences will be disastrous.
This is enough for them to quickly stand out among today's arrangements.
Now, just because he is close to Zhu Di in private, he has already been targeted by the talented Jin Yiwei.
The Jinyi Guards were a group of people arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. They were all highly skilled in martial arts and were hiding in the dark.
Even the most powerful experts might not be able to do anything to them.
"Then what do you think we should do now? Since the people in Jinyiwei already know our plan, we can't even make a decision now."
"It's just an opportunity seized by His Majesty to punish me. How can we just watch helplessly as our years of hard work are ruined?"
Several officials have always had close personal relationships with Zhu Di. Now that something like this has happened, there is no way for them to escape from the relationship.
They naturally knew how cruel Zhu Yuanzhang was to his men.
All the heroes in Huaixi were eliminated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and now there are very few left. They were only arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang later.
Officials now naturally no longer have the strength to fight against him.
What happened in Yingtian Mansion was beyond their imagination.
If Zhu Yuanzhang starts investigating, none of them will be able to escape the relationship.
Nowadays, to protect ourselves, we can only seek a chance.
Zhu Di looked at the officials in front of him coldly, and now he hated iron more than steel. He thought that no matter what he did, he should not be abandoned by these officials.
He looked at everyone with a hint of cunning on their faces.
"Why do you have to worry about things that haven't happened? Even if my father wants to harm me again, he naturally won't come up with many ways at this time."
Even now Zhu Di doesn't want to hide his ambition anymore, he knows it better than anyone else.
Now in Yingtian Mansion, he will definitely not let others do harm to him.
There were many things going on in the court, and as long as they were related to Zhu Biao, he would immediately arrange for people to go in.
Even if he is grounded, he still has a way to know the situation outside.
Especially this time, the poetry gathering held by Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, he thought this was an excellent opportunity.
"As long as you can be loyal to me as soon as possible in the future, it will naturally benefit you."
Several officials looked at each other in confusion, and finally prepared to give it a try. After all, Zhu Di was Zhu Yuanzhang's son, and he would not be beheaded even if he made a big mistake.
Their results were quite different. Now the officials no longer cared about anything else. They all knelt down to express their feelings when they saw Zhu Di.
"Your Highness, King Yan, we are all devoted to you, and we have put in so much effort so that His Highness can achieve something."
"No matter how much trouble occurs in the future, we will stand by His Highness without hesitation."
"That's right. Even the nine tribes will not hesitate to be implicated. Please ask Your Highness to provide us with more opportunities."
When an official looked at Zhu Di, he seemed to have seen the last hope.
Zhu Di naturally did not let a few of them lose some opportunities in vain.
In the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, this poetry meeting had already gathered the most talented people in Yingtian Mansion.
Spreading rumors now can shift the direction of the wind to Zhu Biao. Zhu Di wanted to see how Zhu Yuanzhang would solve it if the same thing happened to Zhu Biao.
"You should ask those students to spread some rumors as soon as possible, especially targeting the emperor's uncle and the prince, saying that they want to form a clique with those officials for personal gain during this teachers' meeting."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "He also said frankly that the emperor's uncle also secretly raised a group of people around him. The emperor's uncle's announcement covered it up, and now it has caused a lot of sensation."
The officials were stunned when they heard Zhu Di's words. They never thought that Zhu Di would be so cruel this time.
If something really happened, they still haven't been able to solve it.
Once this rumor spreads, Zhu Biao will definitely be able to trace the person who spread the rumor in the future, which will have some impact on them after all.
"Your Highness King Yan, you really choose to do this, but if the Jin Yiwei people investigate, I'm afraid..."
The officials suddenly did not dare to speak. Once this rumor affected Zhu Di and Zhu Biao, Zhu Di would definitely conduct an in-depth investigation based on his personality.
They really didn't want to take risks, but Zhu Di seemed to have already made up his mind. He looked at the people in front of him and snorted coldly.
"Uncle Huang has already separated from his father. Now is the best time to see how loyal those students are."
When everyone heard Zhu Di's words, they did not dare to refute, and then they followed Zhu Di's arrangements and spread rumors everywhere.
Zhu Di and Yueru are both planning the poetry meeting, and they have been getting closer in the past few days.
When Furong saw Zhu Di, she quickly stepped forward and specially reserved a seat for Zhu Di. Zhu Di was a little surprised to see Furong.
"I remember that you were a dancing girl trained by Yueru. I heard that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Furong felt a little embarrassed when Zhu Di asked him. He quickly stood in front of Zhu Di and told Zhu Di everything.
I have learned a lot since I came to Zuihua Pavilion.
Without exception, they were playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dancing. He was very talented in these and was praised by Yueru several times.
"Sister Yueru often teaches us that women do not need to be attached to men. They have their own skills and can protect themselves."
Furong's voice couldn't help but choked with sobs as she spoke.
Thinking of those days I lived in the past, I can't help but feel a little sad, but fortunately I managed to survive.
"So he would hire some teachers to teach the sisters how to read and write."
Zhu Di admired Yueru even more after listening to Fu Rong's words.
As a woman, he can always consider his sisters. Many teachers in Yingtian Mansion look down upon the women in Zuihua Pavilion the most.
Thinking that they have already entered the mortal world, no matter how much they read or write, they are not as good as men.
It would be truly amazing to be able to invite those scholars to the Zuihua Pavilion to impart knowledge to them.
Zhu Di couldn't help but admire Yueru.
"In this poetry gathering, you are also prepared to show your face in front of the dignitaries, so that you can win their favor and find a good future for yourself."
Zhu Di was also very interested in the Poetry Society. He only wanted the people who came to be rich or noble.
If we can let those dignitaries have some fun in Zuihua Pavilion, we can also find some support for these women.
They relied on their own strength to gain a foothold in Yingtian Mansion. Even with Zhu Di's help, it was not easy.
Furong listened to Zhu Di's words and nodded gently.
"What the prince said is that Furong will go practice dancing right now."
Yueru just watched Fu Rong and Zhu Di talking, and her face turned a little pale.
He held the handkerchief in his hand tightly, suddenly feeling a little jealous.
Zhu Di turned around and glanced at Yueru.
"Zhang Fengnian will come to Zuihua Pavilion in a while to measure the girls. You just picked some people and made some clothes for them."
Yueru's eyes widened and she looked at Zhu Di in disbelief.
"Your Majesty means to ask Zhang Fengnian to make clothes for us personally. How can this be so difficult? I will just ask the girls to go to the silk and satin shop together. I won't bother shopkeeper Zhang."
Zhang Fengnian is Zhu Di's most trusted businessman. He has long been praised by others for doing business in Yingtian Mansion.
Yueru knew that there was a lot of difference between her and Zhang Fengnian, but it was not enough for Zhang Fengnian to make clothes for them.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little ashamed of myself.
Zhu Di smiled faintly, took a sip of tea from the side, and looked Yueru up and down.
"Your figure is indeed good. As the saying goes, your unparalleled beauty is nothing more than this. After you dress up well, you will surely amaze everyone. I have asked Zhang Fengnian to prepare."
If Yue was praised like this by Zhu Di, the jealousy in her heart just disappeared, and she looked extremely shy when she saw Zhu Di.
"Yue Ru will go and prepare now. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
After he left, Zhu Di pretended not to see the lust in his eyes.
He Fengyu beside him was so angry that he was blowing his beard and staring. He looked at Zhu Di, stamped his feet on the ground, and his face became gloomy.
"Master, I can finally see that Yue Ruxinyue is with you. No matter how hard I try, I can't get into his eyes. If that's the case, why should I work so hard? It's better to let it go."
Zhu Di frowned slightly and turned his head to look at He Fengyu.
"Why bother arguing about those endless things? As long as you are capable, there will naturally be many women who will bow down to your talent."
Zhu Di looked at He Fengyu in front of him with a deep look. He knew very well what Yueru wanted.
A woman works alone in Yingtian Mansion. What she wants is someone to rely on.
But He Fengyu was young and didn't understand the woman's thoughts at all. Even if he wanted to be nice to Yue Ru, I'm afraid Yueru would only treat him as a younger brother.
"Yueru is a businessman, and I'm afraid you won't be able to give him what he wants in this lifetime."
He Fengyu lowered his head slightly as he listened, feeling extremely annoyed.
He has reached the age of marriage, and in fact, he also thinks about having a wife and children, which makes Kangtou full of ambition and wants to stretch out.
Now he realizes how slim this hope is for him.
Zhu Di didn't notice He Fengyu's troubled thoughts.
Carefully pondering some of the information obtained from Zuihua Pavilion, and preparing to take action against these ministers in the court as soon as possible.
He wanted to see who would dare to do harm to him.
The situation in Yingtian Mansion has already exceeded expectations. Now officials have begun to worry about their own future. This is what Zhu Di wants.
Zhang Fengnian started from the Silk and Satin Shop and went all the way to Zuihua Pavilion.
Along the way, he heard a lot of rumors.
People on both sides of the street are spreading rumors that many dignitaries will come to pay tribute to this poetry gathering, and many of them have close contacts with Zhu Di in private.
"I heard they said that the prince is now so powerful that he must have had many contacts with these officials in private. King Yan was completely used by him."
"No matter how powerful King Yan is now, there is no way he can compare with King Ying."
"Originally, there was a lot of bloodshed in this poetry gathering, which caused an uproar in Yingtian Mansion."
Zhang Fengnian was sitting in the carriage and heard all this clearly.
He frowned slightly, he really didn't expect rumors about Yingtian Mansion to spread so quickly.
How long can the mastermind behind the scenes last?
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Zuihua Pavilion, and Zhang Fengnian walked into the Yage.
