In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, in his fifties, Zhu Youjian was wearing a dragon robe and a black sand winged crown, and sat behind the imperial desk with a tired expression.

Zhu Youjian's life was ups and downs. When he was young, because his grandfather didn't like his father, he was locked in the Tang Dynasty's mansion and almost starved to death in the mansion.

After inheriting the title of King of Tang, he had a few good years. Because he raised an army without permission to defend the king, he was demoted to a commoner of the Tang Dynasty and imprisoned within the high walls of Fengyang.

The Chongzhen Dynasty was destroyed and after Hongguang ascended the throne, he was released from prison and restored his title. However, he had not lived a good life for a few days, and because of the Qing army's invasion of the south, he lived a displaced life.

After that, Zhu Youjian was made emperor, but his life was indeed not stable. The internal and external pressures took too much energy.

It can be said that Zhu Youjian, who lived in his fifties, never thought of any blessing in his life.

His early life of hunger and cold, coupled with his hard work day and night after ascending the throne, was almost dragging down his body.

Zhu Youjian, who is over 50 years old, is no longer as energetic as before.

At this time, although Zhu Youjian was a little tired, he still held on to check the studies of the eldest son Zhu Linyuan.

Zhu Linyuan is now nine years old. Under Zhu Youjian's strict requirements, he already looks like a little adult.

At this time, Zhu Linyuan was carrying the classics that the teacher had just taught to Zhu Youjian. Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisory Bureau, hurried in and whispered: "Your Majesty, Master He led a group of ministers and said he had something to ask for a meeting!"

When Zhu Youjian heard the words, he waved his hand, "Let them wait!"

After saying that, he continued to ask Zhu Linyuan to recite the books. In Zhu Youjian's opinion, cultivating a qualified successor for the empire is one of his most important things at the moment.

Pang Tianshou waited for a while, and saw that the emperor had no intention of ending for a while, and couldn't help but whisper again: "Your Majesty, Master He said it's about the crown prince!"

When Zhu Youjian heard the words, he looked at Pang Tianshou. The latter immediately lowered his head and lowered his hands. Zhu Youjian frowned and then smiled and said to Zhu Linyuan: "Let's just be here today! The homework taught by the masters, the emperor must study hard, and come to me again tomorrow!"

Zhu Linyuan bowed obediently, "My son understand!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and asked the eunuch to take Zhu Linyuan to Queen Zeng in the harem, and then said to Pang Tianshou: "Let them come in!"

Soon after, He Tengjiao and his group entered the imperial study room and saluted them together, "I will pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what should I report?"

He Tengjiao immediately took out the two letters, "Your Majesty, the Eastern Palace secretly colluded with the outer town, secretly undermined the court's national policy, and fought against the will of the Holy One. Please abolish the position of Zhu Yihai as the crown prince!"

Zhu Youjian was slightly stunned, his fatigue was swept away, and his eyes lit up.

"Come on!" Zhu Youjian said anxiously.

Pang Tianshou hurriedly took the letter and transferred it to the presentation. After Zhu Youjian took it, he read it quickly and was immediately energetic.

Zhu Youjian had long wanted to abolish Zhu Yihai, but he had no excuses. Zhu Yihai was also very cautious and made up his mind that as long as he did not make mistakes and with his prestige and achievements, Zhu Youjian would have no reason to abolish him and establish a new crown prince.

In the past year, although Zhu Youjian drove some ministers who supported Zhu Yihai out of the court, he had no choice but to deal with Zhu Yihai, which made him very sad.

These two letters were equivalent to giving Zhu Youjian an excuse, and he immediately realized the value of these two letters.

"He is so bold!" Zhu Youjian suddenly became furious, "Zhu Yihai actually dispatched troops privately on my back, and intended to destroy the peace talks. It was simply bold. What did he mean?"

He Tengjiao said: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Palace intends to raise the trouble and hinder the court from reducing the vassal states, so as to unite with the vassal states, threaten the court, and plan for the throne!"

Zhu Youjian said angrily: "I must not let him succeed! I will destroy him now!"

Nowadays, several major ministers are all confidant ministers promoted by Zhu Youjian, but after hearing Zhu Youjian's words, they are still frightened.

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!" Grand Secretary Zhang Tongchang said anxiously: "The East Palace has the support of Zhejiang Army and its prestige is very high. Not to mention Li Chengdong, Zhang Mingzhen, and Zhao Bo'an from Jiangdong each have nearly 100,000 people. Just say that there are Wu Zhaosheng 30,000 Zhejiang troops in this Nanjing city! Your Majesty acts rashly, Nanjing is in danger! The court is in danger!"

Yang Wencong didn't agree with it in his heart, but he stood alone at the end, lowered his head, and did not say a word, thinking about how to reveal the news.

Zhu Youjian was unwilling to miss such an opportunity and turned his eyes to He Tengjiao, "What is He Ge's unit thinking?"

He Tengjiao said: "Your Majesty, I think the crown prince colluded with vassal states and secretly undermined the national policy of the court and committed serious crimes. It must be abolished. However, the Eastern Palace colluded with foreign towns and had a strong power, and the court must be prepared!"

Zhu Youjian said in a deep voice: "Speak!"

He Tengjiao said: "Your Majesty, first of all, the court needs to dispatch troops to deal with the possible rebellion. Secondly, to solve the power of the Eastern Palace, the key is to control Zhu Yihai. As long as you control Zhu Yihai and put him under house arrest, the outer town will be a mess. At that time, the court will give titles and appease them, and the situation will be temporarily stabilized!"

Zhu Youjian pondered in his heart, and it would inevitably cause turmoil within the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is indeed a good opportunity now. Zhao Ming, the chief general of Zhejiang, was not in Jiangdong and went to Nanyang. General Fang Guoan defected to the court again. As long as he controlled Zhu Yihai, Li Chengdong, Zhang Mingzhen, and Wu Zhaosheng might not dare to move.

In addition, while the Qing army was attacking Liaodong and restraining Donghai Town, the Qing army's own energy was also devoted to the outside of the pass and had no time to look south. It was an excellent time for him to resolve internal conflicts.

Of course, Zhu Youjian must also consider how he should deal with it in case of rebellion and whether he has the ability to exterminate it.

After a while of contemplation, Zhu Youjian suddenly said, "Transfer my will to be named King of Xichuan, Jin Shenghuan, and Wang Deren as Duke of the Kingdom, and gave Fang Guoan the second son Yin to the Kingdom, and then dispatched Duke of Shaanxi Li Guo and Duke of Su Gao Yigong to secretly lead troops into the capital to make a plan!"

The largest vassal states in the Ming Dynasty were actually not the Zhejiang-based towns, but Sun Kewang, who occupied most of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. However, the land controlled by Sun Kewang is relatively closed and far away from the political center, and the threat to Zhu Youjian is temporarily less than that of Zhu Yihai.

Previously, Zhu Youjian promised that Sun Kewang would conquer Chengdu and he would be appointed as king. However, after Sun Kewang took Chengdu, Zhu Youjian was reluctant to conquer Sun Kewang to be king.

Now, in order to prevent the abolition of Zhu Yihai and trigger a rebellion in the Zhejiang clan, Sun Kewang took the opportunity to provoke trouble. Zhu Youjian finally made up his mind to confer the king of Sun Kewang to stabilize the largest vassal state in the southwest.

At the same time, he also gave some rewards to his subordinates to win people's hearts and respond to major changes.

He Tengjiao immediately received the order, "I obey the order!"
