Father can be an enemy to the country

There was a forest of ceremonial guards on the street, and a cloud of guards, surrounding the carriage of the two highnesses, heading towards the imperial envoy's carriage not far away.

The eyes of the people of Nanchang City were opened. When had they seen so many princes?

"How many people are here?" The citizens couldn't help but talk about it.

"Look at the biggest flag. It has the word 'Yan' written on it, and it belongs to His Highness King Yan."

"The one with the word 'Chu' written on it is the King of Chu?"

"That's right."

"Hey, there's also a word for 'sea'."

"That's the King of the Sea." Everyone suddenly said, it turned out that there were three princes...

I just don’t know who this King of the Sea is.

On the carriage, seeing the sixth child reading the letter, the fourth child eagerly asked: "How about it? Can you agree?"

"Alas, eldest brother has already spoken." Lao Liu sighed and said, "I can only do as you are told."

"Yes, the eldest brother can't think of any other way. As younger brothers, we have to share his worries." The fourth child secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had issued a military order with the old man, and he must persuade the sixth child to accept this difficult task. task.

Unexpectedly, Lao Liu agreed so readily.

This made King Yan feel very sorry for Lao Liu, and he turned to advise him: "Don't agree so readily, you have to take the opportunity to raise conditions."

"That makes sense, okay, let me think about it." Lao Liu nodded and thought to himself, why not ask the old thief to ban Lao Qi and send him to Japan?

Just kidding, let’s extend the preferential period of Shibo Company for another five years...

"Don't worry, brother will definitely help you when the time comes." His Highness King Yan was very relaxed after having solved the big problem. He sat there with his legs crossed and said, "By the way, you don't know, Hu Xiang is sick."

"What disease?" Lao Liu asked curiously.

"What else could it be? It's just a mental illness." Lao Si smiled and said, "On the day my father received your eight hundred mile urgent call, he suddenly fell ill. At first, he said he had vomiting and diarrhea due to bad food. Later it turned into typhoid fever, and I was still bedridden when I left Beijing."

"Oh, he is afraid." Zhu Zhen said clearly: "Both Shen Liben and Xiong Qitai confessed that the "No Account Book" was compiled under his instruction. He was also the one who hid the field in the hidden house. the meaning of."

"Really?" The fourth child glared when he heard this: "Then he really deserves to die!"

"That's right, this guy's crimes are really too numerous to describe." Lao Liu also said angrily:

"He is also the general backend of the big smuggling companies in Jiangnan. The pirate leader I arrested last time, Chen Shanghai, also confessed that it was Wu Liang who ordered them to attack us. The Wu brothers and Hu Weiyong both wear the same pair of pants. I I reported this to my father... but nothing happened. So I probably won’t touch him this time."

"Why?" Lao Si asked in confusion.

"It's not too late." Lao Liu said firmly, "Father, what you have in mind this time is very rich."

"Then when will it be?" Lao Si asked: "Why is Father keeping him here? Is it because he doesn't want to take a bath?"

"The time will come when his crimes are big enough." Lao Liu replied softly: "As for why my father kept him, it's because he is very capable of doing things, and there is nothing he dares not do. It is easier to accumulate crimes. "

"What's the point of this?" The fourth child delayed a year to have a child, and he really couldn't keep up. He humbly asked for advice: "If we let him continue to mess around, the Ministry of Education will be ruined, right?"

"Maybe my father just wants it to be rotten." Zhu Zhen said quietly.

"How do you say this?" Zhu Di's pupils shrank and he asked in a low voice: "Is it not Hu Weiyong that my father wants to deal with, but the entire Zhongshu Province?"

"I think so." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been three prime ministers. Li Shanchang, Yang Xian, and Hu Weiyong, none of them are easy to use. Whoever gets there will fight against the old man and want him to 'The Holy Emperor rules from the top of his head, and all state affairs are entrusted to Zhongshu'."

"Fourth brother said, if you were the father, would you think that it was wrong to set up the Central Secretary?"

"That's really the case." Zhu Di nodded and said suddenly: "I told you why my father abolished the Ministry of Public Affairs, established the General Affairs Department, and asked the eldest brother to meet with important ministers to listen to the government since the empty seal case. Although he did not directly touch the Central Government. However, they all struck at the foundation of Zhongshu Province. It turns out that they were dissatisfied with Zhongshu Province for a long time."

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen nodded slightly. It felt great to teach his fourth brother.

"Then what do you think my father is going to do to clean up Zhongshu Province?" Zhu Di asked: "Divide Zhongshu into three provinces, Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu, like in the previous dynasty?"

"This is also a way, but it is not in line with my father's way." Zhu Zhen said with a profound expression. As the wheels rolled and the carriage shook, he felt like a taxi driver in the capital.

"Well." Zhu Di touched the short beard on his chin and nodded involuntarily: "Yes, my father has always either not done anything or never done anything. So..."

He raised his head and looked at Lao Liu in surprise: "Is it possible that the father wants to abolish the entire Zhongshu Province?"

"It's completely possible." Lao Liu's confidence comes from his high school history.

"Without Zhongshu Province, what about the Prime Minister? Wouldn't he be a bare man?" Zhu Di looked shocked.

"If the skin is gone, how can the general be attached?" Lao Liu asked in reply: "We have abolished the Ministry of Education, what is the purpose of keeping the prime minister?"

"Having said that, but..." the fourth child couldn't help but stuttered: "There have been prime ministers in all dynasties. Without the prime minister, can we still call it a court?"

"I'm just making a wild guess. Maybe my father has no such plan at all." Lao Liu accepted it as soon as he could, so as not to make the explanation unclear in the future.

"No, no, what you said makes sense. If the emperor wants to depose Zhongshu and depose the prime minister, Hu Weiyong is the best candidate to be the last prime minister." Zhu Di shook his head and said:

"He is lawless and has little foundation in the military. Father can sit back and watch him commit a big enough crime to take the opportunity to revoke the Zhongshu. But he doesn't have to worry about capsizing in the gutter."

"Wow, Fourth Brother is great!" Lao Liu finally caught the opportunity again, flattered Fourth Brother and said, "That makes sense."

"Oh haha, isn't that inspired by you?" The fourth brother was also very happy.

~~

The two brothers talked all the way to the residence of King Chu and King Hai. Of course, it belongs to King Yan now...

Zeng Tai originally wanted to arrange a reception banquet for the three ministers, but considering the current situation, Zhu Zhen decided to cancel the reception banquet. To avoid the embarrassing situation of ‘today’s guest will be tomorrow’s prisoner’.

So he took care of his fourth brother in the palace, leaving only Zeng Tai, Wang Bi, his uncle and Luo Guanzhong to accompany him.

"Hey, this Dongpo pork is cooked well. Have you changed the cook?" The fourth brother also has a tricky mouth. When he picks up the food with chopsticks, he can taste the difference.

"Oh, it's not the cook, it was cooked by my master's niece." Zhu Zhen said with some guilt: "Isn't the fourth brother here? They all followed the fourth brother to get the benefit."

"Yes, we usually can't catch it. Let's taste Miss Liu's cooking skills." Zeng Tai and Wang Bi hurriedly agreed with a smile.

"That girl from Uncle Chengyi's family, she also lives here?" The fourth child was more concerned about Liu Li's cooking skills. He glanced at the sixth child meaningfully and expressed dissatisfaction.

"Ah," Zhu Zhen said coquettishly: "Isn't it that the house in Guan's house is too small, and she is sad all day long when she sees things and misses people there? I have no choice but to let her move here. Nothing else. Meaning."

Then he pointed at Wang Bi and said, "Besides, General Wang's daughter is also here with Liu Li."

"That's it..." Zhu Di didn't say anything, and turned to exchange cups with Hu Quan and Wang Bi, and started drinking.

Zeng Tai and Luo Guanzhong, two literati, could only sit at the bottom and eat melon.

"His Royal Highness King Chu is quite shy..." Zeng Tai whispered.

"Huh, he's shy?" Luo Guanzhong chuckled, but he didn't expose the sixth brother. In fact, he was afraid that the fourth brother, his brother-in-law, would be unhappy. Say bad things about him to the second young lady of the Xu family again...

After all, besides his childhood sweetheart Liu Li, Lao Liu also had a crush on the second young lady of the Xu family.

‘Does he like it? He just wants to take advantage of others. Bah, Cao thief. ’ Teacher Luo secretly spat.

After Zhu Di toasted with Hu Quan over there, he suddenly thought of someone and asked, "Hey, Uncle Sixth, why didn't you see your second uncle?"

"Oh," Hu Quan said without blushing: "Hu Bo has gone to perform a very important secret mission, and it will take several months before he can come back."

"Really, that's really hard work." Zhu Di said enviously: "Lao Liu, you have two good uncles."

"That's right, my two uncles are the most responsible for quickly solving the case and recovering the Account Book." Of course, Zhu Zhen did not hesitate to praise him.

"No, what I did is insignificant, and it's mainly because of my second brother." Of course Hu Quan wanted to put money on his younger brother's face. "He is dedicated to serving the country with all his heart and soul."

"Everyone here deserves credit." The fourth child laughed loudly and clinked glasses with everyone, showing great friendliness.
