Chapter 887: Zhu Di enters the palace, His Majesty’s attitude
Mr. Li also added: "In addition, we can also use the influence of Qingliu people to organize a public debate and invite people from both the government and the public who have doubts about Zhu Di to participate. Through the debate, more people can see clearly.
Zhu Di’s true face.”
When Zhu Han heard this, a flash of approval flashed in his eyes. He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "Very good, these suggestions are very pertinent. We must let Zhu Di know that hypocrisy and lies
, after all, it won’t last long.”
He turned around and said to everyone with a firm gaze: "Next, our actions must be more thorough, not only to expose Zhu Di's crimes, but also to stabilize our front and ensure that every step is solid and powerful."
At this time, the military general Liu Dudu stood up and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to strengthen the patrol and guard of the capital to ensure that any troubles are under our control. At the same time, I am also willing to personally lead a team of elites.
, ready to respond to any emergencies at any time.”
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "Director Liu, I will leave the guard of the capital to you. Remember, we must not only guard against Zhu Di's direct attack, but also prevent him from doing tricks in the dark."
The staff responsible for contacting the feudal king also said at this time: "Your Majesty, regarding the feudal king's attitude, I have sent people to step up contact. I believe there will be good news soon. At the same time, I am also trying to persuade those feudal lords who are wavering in their attitude.
King, let them see the situation clearly and stand on our side."
Zhu Han nodded slightly, determination flashing in his eyes: "Very good, we must use all the forces we can unite to jointly fight against Zhu Di. Remember, our goal is to eliminate corruption in the DPRK and stabilize the Ming Dynasty."
While everyone was discussing, an announcement came from outside the door again, and an attendant hurriedly walked in, his expression much more relaxed than before: "Your Majesty, good news came from the border. Our army successfully repelled an enemy raid. Our morale is high."
Big shake!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the study room suddenly cheered up. A long-lost smile appeared on Zhu Han's face. He waved to the attendants to leave, and then said to everyone: "It seems that the soldiers on the border are also sharing our worries.
Solve problems. We must strengthen our confidence and jointly meet the next challenges."
Everyone agreed in unison.
At this time, in Zhu Di's mansion, Zhu Di was sitting in the study, playing with a delicate jade ring in his hand, but his face could not hide the look of exhaustion. Although his show of weakness today had temporarily stabilized the situation, it would not be possible in the long run.
It seems that more means are still needed to consolidate its position.
"Your Highness, today in the court, your trick of showing weakness really worked." A close advisor came forward and complimented.
Zhu Di shook his head slightly, a coldness flashed in his eyes: "It worked? It's just a temporary measure. How can that old fox Zhu Han be so easy to deal with? We must continue to make plans to ensure nothing goes wrong."
When the counselor heard this, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise. What should we do next?"
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Continue to strengthen intelligence collection and be sure to understand Zhu Han's every move. At the same time, we must also find more allies to consolidate our position. Remember, in this power game
, there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends.”
In Zhu Di's mansion, the candlelight flickered, reflecting on his stern face, adding a bit of calm and self-powerful momentum. He stood up slowly, glanced at every counselor present, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Everyone,
Today's situation is a temporary respite, but the real challenge has yet to come. Zhu Han is a man with deep intentions and should not be underestimated."
A middle-aged counselor took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "What your Highness said is absolutely true. Zhu Han's counterattack was swift and violent. If His Highness hadn't been wise and showed weakness to lure the enemy, I'm afraid the situation would have been out of control."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, but his eyes did not relax at all: "Showing weakness is only a temporary measure, the key lies in the follow-up plan. We need to monitor Zhu Han's every move more closely, especially his allies in the court and the Qingliu people.
trend."
The young counselor frowned and said slightly worriedly: "Your Highness, the Qingliu people have a wide influence among the people. If they fully support Zhu Han, it will be extremely detrimental to us."
Zhu Di sneered, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Although the Qingliu people are influential, they are also arrogant and arrogant and difficult to bribe. However, they also have weaknesses, which are reputation and morality. We can use this to spread the news
Some specious news makes them contradict themselves and makes it difficult to form a united front."
The middle-aged counselor's eyes lit up and he added: "Your Highness's clever plan! We can secretly arrange people to forge some evidence of collusion between Qingliu people and Zhu Han, and spread it to make the government and the public doubt their position."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, but then shook his head: "Although this plan is clever, it needs to be done with caution and no clues can be left. We need to ensure that all the evidence is enough to confuse the public, but cannot verify the authenticity."
At this time, a confidant in charge of intelligence hurriedly walked into the study, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Highness, a secret report has been sent from the border. Zhu Han seems to have noticed our deployment on the border and is stepping up preparations."
When Zhu Di heard this, he frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure: "Zhu Han is indeed not simple, but generals will have to deal with border issues. We need to concentrate on the situation between North Korea and China to ensure nothing goes wrong."
He turned to the counselor who was responsible for liaising with the courtiers: "You immediately send people to secretly contact those courtiers who have complaints against Zhu Han, and promise them heavy profits or coercion and inducement. Make sure they remain neutral or even turn to our side."
The counselor followed the order and left, and Zhu Di looked at another counselor in charge of military dispatch: "The deployment of troops on the border cannot be relaxed. You need to pay attention to the enemy's movements at all times and prepare a contingency plan in case Zhu Han suddenly launches an attack.
"
The military adviser bowed and obeyed the order: "The general has received the order and must strengthen the border defense to ensure the peace of the border."
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and glanced at everyone again: "Remember, we not only have to deal with the immediate crisis, but also plan for the long term. If Zhu Han is not eliminated in one day, my great cause will be difficult to accomplish. We need to work step by step and fight steadily until we are completely defeated.
He was crushed."
At this moment, another announcement came from outside the door, and an attendant hurried in and reported nervously: "Your Highness, there is news from the palace. Your Majesty seems to be quite dissatisfied with the dispute in the court today, and is considering summoning several people."
Important ministers discuss countermeasures."
When Zhu Di heard this, a coldness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Okay, I understand. You should prepare immediately. Once His Majesty summons me, I need to enter the palace immediately."
"Prepare your carriage and horses and enter the palace immediately." Zhu Di ordered his attendants in a calm and powerful voice.
After the attendants retreated, Zhu Di turned to the counselors, with a flash of determination in his eyes: "Everyone, when I enter the palace this time, I will face the doubts of His Majesty and Zhu Han. You need to closely monitor the movements of the DPRK here, especially Zhu Han's subordinates.
Take one step at a time. If there is any trouble, report it immediately."
The old counselor took a step forward, bowed and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will go all out to ensure that nothing goes wrong inside and outside the mansion."
The young counselor was slightly worried: "Your Highness, the situation in the palace is complex and ever-changing, so you need to be careful in dealing with it."
Zhu Di smiled slightly, with a confident light shining in his eyes: "It doesn't matter, I have my own countermeasures. Remember, no matter what happens, stay calm and don't mess up."
After saying that, Zhu Di put on a heavy cloak, strode out of the study and walked into the night. The carriage outside the mansion was already ready, and the attendants respectfully opened the curtain for him.
Zhu Di sat in the car and closed his eyes to rest, while his mind was rapidly calculating everything he was about to face.
Soon, the carriage drove slowly into the palace, passed through thick palace gates, and finally stopped in front of the imperial study. Zhu Di straightened his robes, took a deep breath, and walked towards the imperial study.
In the imperial study room, the lights were bright, and Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in front of the case, his brows furrowed, obviously dissatisfied with the disputes in the court. When he saw Zhu Di coming in, he raised his eyes slightly, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Di'er, you're here." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was low and majestic.
Zhu Di bowed and saluted, his attitude was respectful but not out of proportion: "I see your Majesty, I wish your Majesty long live long live."
"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Di to come forward, "I have heard about the dispute between you and Handi in the court today. You two are my humerus, why are you so tit-for-tat?"
Zhu Di stood up and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang calmly: "Your Majesty, the dispute between my son and the emperor's uncle is actually due to the weak government and the treacherous people in power. I believe that only by eliminating corruption in the court can we stabilize the Ming Dynasty."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded slightly, but there was still doubt in his eyes: "You two have your own reasons, but I would rather see you working together instead of criticizing each other."
Zhu Di smiled slightly and said in a sincere tone: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I am willing to discuss the state affairs with Handi. However, the situation in the DPRK is complicated and we need to clean up the family step by step. I boldly ask for your majesty's permission and let me be responsible for the investigation.
The case of corruption in the DPRK and China should be corrected."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and looked at Zhu Di deeply: "Since you have this determination, I will give you this power. But remember, you must handle it impartially and do not engage in malpractice for personal gain."
Zhu Di bowed and accepted the order: "I will do my best to live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
Returning to the mansion, Zhu Di immediately summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures.
"Everyone, Your Majesty has given me permission to investigate the corruption case in the DPRK." Zhu Di's voice was steady and powerful, and he glanced at the counselors. "This is a God-given opportunity. We must seize this opportunity to completely eliminate the corruption in the DPRK.
"
When the counselors heard this, they all looked happy, but then they regained their composure and began to discuss specific plans. Every next step will be crucial, and if there is a slight mistake, the whole game may be lost.
"Your Highness, we need to make a list of corrupt officials first, and then investigate them one by one." The old counselor suggested.
"Yes, but we must ensure that the evidence is conclusive so as not to alert the enemy." The young counselor added.
Zhu Di nodded in agreement: "You two will be responsible for this matter. You must act carefully and don't let the news leak out."
Then, he looked at the counselor in charge of intelligence: "You need to continue to strengthen intelligence collection, especially regarding the movements of Zhu Han and his party members. I want to make sure that I am fully aware of everything."
The intelligence counselor bowed and accepted the order: "I will live up to His Highness's trust."
When Zhu Di returned to the mansion, he did not relax a little because of the emperor's permission. Instead, his expression became more solemn. All the counselors had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw him returning, they all stood up and saluted.
"Your Highness, how is the situation?" The old counselor spoke first, with a hint of concern in his tone.
Zhu Di waved his hand gently, motioning for everyone to sit down, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty has given me permission to investigate the corruption case in the DPRK, but this also means that our actions will be more transparent, and Zhu Han and others will definitely
Be extra vigilant.”
The young counselor frowned: "Your Highness, wouldn't this make our actions more difficult?"
Zhu Di smiled slightly, his eyes shining with wisdom: "Difficulties are natural, but they are also opportunities. We must use this opportunity to dig out the moths that are hidden deeper."
He turned to the counselor in charge of intelligence: "You immediately send more manpower. Not only to monitor Zhu Han and his party members, but also to go deep into those officials who appear to be honest but are actually corrupt to find their handles."
The intelligence counselor bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to my trust."
At this time, a counselor who was responsible for liaising with the courtiers stepped forward with a slightly worried expression: "Your Highness, many officials in the court are suspicious of your move and are worried that you will take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents."
Zhu Di snorted coldly, his eyes blazing: "Doubts? That's their guilty conscience! Tell them, I, Zhu Di, act openly and aboveboard. I only ask about right and wrong, not about relatives. As long as they behave upright and sit upright, why are they afraid of my investigation?"
The old counselor nodded in agreement: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. As long as we act in accordance with the law, we will naturally win people's hearts. But Your Highness also needs to pay attention. Zhu Han and others will not sit still and wait for death. They may set a trap to lure us and others."
Get into the trap."
Zhu Di smiled slightly, and his eyes revealed a confident confidence: "Trap? That's exactly what I expected. Only by letting them move can we find the flaw and hit it with one hit."
He stood up and glanced at the counselors: "Everyone, this investigation and investigation of corruption is not only to stabilize the court, but also for the future of the Ming Dynasty. We want the people of the world to see that I, Zhu Di, truly care about the Ming Dynasty!
"
When all the counselors heard this, they stood up one after another and responded in unison: "I am willing to do your best for Your Highness!"
Following Zhu Di's order, a thunderous operation targeting corruption in the DPRK and China quietly began. Zhu Di personally took command and used the power in his hands to step by step approach the worms hiding in the dark.
At the same time, Zhu Han also noticed Zhu Di's movements. This was a battle of life and death, and he had to go all out. So on the one hand, he strengthened his surveillance of Zhu Di, and on the other hand, he accelerated the pace of exposing Zhu Di's crimes.
.
The two forces launched a fierce confrontation in the court, with undercurrents surging in the court and the situation changing rapidly. In this contest of power and resourcefulness, who will have the last laugh has yet to be revealed.
