Chapter 240 Meng De’s old plan

In the past month, King Yan Zhu Di has been in a bad mood. He did not expect Zhu Yunwen to send troops so decisively, which was not in line with his style of work. He and the scholars and ministers even had to discuss the rank and official title of the new military system for a month, and there was no result. However, he did not expect that he would make the decision to send troops within two or three days, which was much beyond the expectations of King Yan Zhu Di.

He also knew that this could not be the opinion of Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others. Zhu Di immediately ordered the eunuchs placed in the palace to inquire about the news. Soon he knew that this was Ye Tianming's plan, which made Zhu Di realize that in order to win the final victory, Ye Tianming must be eliminated.

At this time, as the imperial army had moved and Zhang Yi's 200,000 troops entered Hanzhong, Zhu Di had to give up his original plan to attack Qin and Jin, and concentrate on dealing with the Central Army and the Eastern Army.

But today, King Yan Zhu Di was extremely happy. Zhu Gaoxi, who had thought he had died, actually came back alive. He even bowed deeply to Lu Siyuan in front of countless people, "Zhu Di remembers the kindness of protecting my son in his heart."

In the study, as Lu Siyuan judged, after hearing that his son insisted on hiding in the temple for a month before setting off calmly, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh: "It's really my luck to have such scheming and vision. I thought you were a reckless and unwise person. It seems that I mistook you in the past."

Along the way, Lu Siyuan had already taught Zhu Gaoxi's answer. Zhu Gaoxi said modestly: "My son was indeed ignorant, unreasonable, and did not distinguish right from wrong. He acted in a willful manner in everything, causing a lot of trouble, causing a lot of trouble for his father. In fact, on the one hand, the son was ignorant, and on the other hand, it was because his son did not have a good master. Since Mr. Lu followed his son and taught me how to be a human being, he taught his son to be the help of his father but not to drag his father back. Mr. Lu's arrival is like a clear cloud and the sun has made his son feel bright. Please rest assured in the future. The son is willing to do his best to help his father achieve hegemony."

Zhu Di was very moved by his son's words. He sighed and said, "If you don't raise your education, it's your father's fault; if you don't teach strictly, it's my fault. It's because I don't ask for a master to teach you well. Now I'm relieved. I still need father-son soldiers in war. I will use you well in the future and give you a chance to show yourself. You can go down and rest for two days now!"

"Okay, the father must rest early, and the child will be retired."

Zhu Gaoxi respectfully knelt down and bowed to his father, then said goodbye. This small action actually moved Zhu Gaoxi to tears. He waved his hand, "Go! Have a good rest, you can bring anything you want, women, money, and father can satisfy you."

Zhu Gaoxi walked out of the study room, but met Yao Guangxiao in the corridor outside. He couldn't help but feel panicked. He was not afraid of anyone, but he was afraid that this old monk, his sharp eyes as if he could see through everything about him, but he was afraid in his heart, and he showed a different look.

He slowly stood up and raised his head arrogantly. This was also what Lu Siyuan taught him. The best way to deal with Yao Guangxiao was four words: Meng De's old plan.

He didn't understand what Meng De's old trick was, but he remembered the specific operation method: a little arrogant, a little arrogant, and a little reckless, and then he bought the guards who witnessed the scene with a lot of money.

"Old monk, aren't you afraid of disturbing your father's rest so late?"

Yao Guangxiao was stunned. He stopped quickly and bowed respectfully and said, "Second Prince, it is Your Highness who summoned me to see you, and I dare not refuse to obey."

"Hmph! I heard that you asked your father to sacrifice me, the old monk, you can't tell that you are a monk, but your heart is quite cruel. When you go to the West, you don't know whether Old Buddha Tathagata recognizes you as your disciple."

No matter how well Yao Guangxiao was in good health, he was still angry by Zhu Gaoxi's rudeness. He snorted heavily and walked away with his sleeves. Zhu Gaoxi looked at his back and suddenly said viciously: "Old bald donkey, if I am in power in the future, you will be the first person to kill!"

This sentence is not a pretender. This is Zhu Gaoxi's nature. He just learned that Yao Guangxiao actually persuaded his father to sacrifice himself. He couldn't help but hate Yao Guangxiao to the core. Yao Guangxiao was shocked and speeded up.

Yao Guangxiao disappeared into the darkness, but Zhu Gaoxi glanced at the two guards standing guard beside him and asked coldly: "What did you see just now? What did you hear?"

The two guards were so scared that they said quickly: "The villain saw nothing, and heard nothing."

"No! You saw it, you heard it, you heard it." Zhu Gaoxi smiled sinisterly and said, "You saw it, you were polite, and you heard it, I was complimenting."

As he said that, he took out two night pearls the size of pigeon eggs from his arms and stuffed them one by one and said, "This is a reward for you. If the father asks you, as I say, you come to me later, and I will reward you with 500 taels of silver. Do you know? Don't ruin the relationship between me and my father and son."

Such a heavy reward made the two guards stunned. He was overjoyed and half-kneeled down and swore, "I'd like to serve the second prince!"

Zhu Gaoxi laughed twice, turned around and left.

After his son said goodbye, Zhu Di stood in front of the map to ponder. He had just had an idea to ask his second son Gao Xi to deal with the two kings of Qin and Jin. He originally planned to let the general Zhu Neng deal with Qin and Jin. After all, he had already announced that the world would deal with Lan Yu. How could he break his promise? The two kings of Qin and Jin are vulnerable and can achieve their reputation as their son. Moreover, there is also a strategic genius Lu Siyuan assisting him.

At this time, the guard's report came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Master Daoyan is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Guangxiao strode in. This was his privilege and he could go directly into the study of King Yan without reporting.

"See Your Highness!" Yao Guangxiao bowed and bowed.

Zhu Di closed his thoughts and hurriedly said, "Master, don't have to be too polite, please sit down!"

Zhu Di sat down and said straight to the point: "I came to the master to discuss with the master how to get rid of Ye Tianming. With this person here, I have repeatedly made me misunderstood."

"I guess your highness came to me for this reason."

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said, "Actually, Huang Zicheng and others want to get rid of Ye Tianming more than us, just borrow his hands."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "I also know that I can use Huang Zicheng. The key is to find Ye Tianming's handle, and I can't use Li Weizheng's affairs to make a fuss. He has cut off his relationship with Li Weizheng and will not be effective."

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and said, "I heard a rumor. There is a rumor that the late emperor once gave Ye Tianming a secret decree, but this is just a rumor. I don't know whether it is true. However, we can make a breakthrough from this direction. If the rumor is true, we can make a fuss about this matter."

"This is a good way." Zhu Di thought about it and added: "In fact, it is very simple to investigate this matter. Just find the eunuch who served the last emperor at that time and you can get clues. Ye Tianming's affairs cannot be delayed. You have to supervise this matter in person."

"I understand!"

After discussing the matter against Ye Tianming, Zhu Di asked with great enthusiasm: "Did you notice that Gao Xi has changed this time when he returns?"

Yao Guangxiao's heart was thrilled. He knew Zhu Di so well. Zhu Di said this, and most of them had the idea of ​​re-establishing a prince again. In fact, Yao Guangxiao was also very regretful this time. He was unable to kill Zhu Gaoxi with the hands of the court and let him escape back. He had been working hard to get rid of Zhu Gaoxi in the past two years because he knew that Zhu Di wanted Gaoxi to replace Gao Chi in his bones.

Although I knew that Zhu Di would be unhappy, Yao Guangxiao still said bluntly: "I just met the Second Prince in the corridor and did not find any changes in the Second Prince. He is still so rude and unwise. Your Highness should know the eight words "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." If he changes in front of the palace, I think this is actually Lu Siyuan's advance arrangement."

Zhu Di was indeed a little unhappy. His face slightly darkened and said, "Even if Lu Siyuan teaches him, there is nothing wrong with him. He should have taught Xier like this, eliminated his anger, taught him to understand the truth, and respected his parents. I always thought that people would change. After this hardship, I felt that my son became mature and sensible. He might be able to inherit my great cause in the future."

Yao Guangxiao immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the eldest prince is kind and kind, and treats people with lenient heart. He is the eldest son. It is the way to consolidate the foundation when he inherits His Highness's great cause. Especially in the face of a great enemy, Your Highness must not act rashly and shake the morale of the soldiers."

Zhu Di no longer wants to listen anymore. He knew that if he mentioned using Gao Xi as the head coach to attack Qin Jin, Yao Guangxiao would definitely object. There is no need to discuss this with him again. He waved his hand and said lightly: "Sir, I have thought too much. I didn't say that I must change the prince. As Mr. said, this is the foundation of the country. Whether it is Yan State or the Ming Dynasty in the future, I will consider this matter carefully. However, both the prince's teacher and also teach Chi'er well for me, so that he can touch women less, eat less and move more, and he will have a lot of trouble in the future. His body will not work."

Yao Guangxiao retired, and Zhu Di walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. Yao Guangxiao swept his excitement and he began to feel upset again. In fact, he was also in various troubles like the court. First of all, the trouble of the army was chaotic. The surrendered army of Qin and Jin, the army of Zhou, the army of the court, hundreds of thousands of troops were mixed together, and the quality was mixed, especially the morale of more than 200,000 Hebei troops was not yet settled, which made him dare not use it easily;

The second trouble was that he received news again that the King of Qi was reduced to the vassal states, and his 40,000 guards were plotted to leave by Li Wei. Li Wei was in the east and west, and he also had nearly 300,000 troops in his hands, especially Li Wei was really watching the tiger fight. No one could see how great his ambition was now.

The third trouble is that the court directly declared his rebellion. In contrast, his call for quelling Lan Yu was much weaker. He has now lost his righteousness and urgently needs a glamorous excuse that is recognized by the people of the world.

Just when Zhu Di was worried, his chief guard walked in and reported: "Your Highness, his subordinates found two guards on duty in the corridor, and had brought them and were waiting outside the door."

"Let them come in."

Yao Guangxiao just said that he met Gao Xi in the corridor and said that he was still rude and rude. He was a little unbelievable. He felt that his son had really changed, so he must confirm it again.

The two guards walked in and fell to their knees, "See Your Highness!"

"I'll ask you, the Second Prince met a military advisor when he went out just now. Are you on duty next to him?"

"Report to Your Highness, when the Second Prince went out, we met the military advisor in the corridor, and we were right next to you."

Zhu Di nodded and asked, "What is the second prince's attitude towards the military advisor? Are he very rude and rude?"

The two guards had already discussed it. Even if they didn't care about the money, they wouldn't dare to tell the truth. After all, Zhu Gaoxi was the son of the King of Yan. A guard said carefully: "Report to your highness, the two subordinates did not see the second prince rude. We only saw that the second prince was very respectful to the military advisor. He was very afraid of the military advisor and kept lowering his head and did not dare to talk back."

Zhu Di suddenly heard something in their words, and then asked quickly: "Are you saying that the military advisor scolding the second prince?"

"Yes! The military advisor's attitude was very strict. In the end, the second prince was sweating profusely and was trembling, and he didn't even dare to let out a breath of excitement."

"I understand, you guys go down!"
