Give enough sphere of influence and expanding escorts is almost a dream for the Hao family. For the court or Zhu Di, Dingnan is just an indifferent place to transform, but for the Hao family, this is not the case.

The population of Jiaozhi and Dingnan is now as high as 20 million, and the Han population is also as large as 7 million, and it is still increasing. This has become a super force in the entire West. Once the court entrusts such power, it is actually equivalent to putting the entire West in the hands of the Hao family.

Of course, most people in Jinling have limited eyes. Whether it is Siam Jiaozhi, in their eyes, it is worthless.

Of course, this is not because Zhu Di did not have the importance of understanding there, but the actual reason is very simple. For a huge empire, with their current production level, it is simply not enough to properly digest Siam.

Siam is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. In other words, whether it is the transmission of government orders, the dispatch of officials, or the dispatch of troops to guard the army, it is actually not worth it. What's more, even if you collect more food and taxes from Dingnan, the loss of escorting them to Beijing along the way is astronomical. Maybe in the end, the court had already lost money before the food and taxes arrived. The territory of the empire was still limited by its production level. The Ming Dynasty could not devote any effort to someone who was thousands of miles away.

But the current model is quite like a contractor, and the Hao family is a contractor. What they do is to keep the court in Nan and Jiaozhi, pay taxes on time, and strengthen the influence and control of the court in the West, so that the court has no worries about the south.

Zhu Di brought out this sweetness. It was nothing more than telling Hao Fenglou that you should do your business for me and that you really have to wait until I have a few mistakes. You will go back to Langshan and be your Anle Gong. After all, the prince is not a person with civil and military skills. As long as you go back to Langshan, will you really have to start a war for revenge?

Zhu Di did this, but it seemed that he had to do it. In fact, although he had great martial arts, he actually never won the hearts of the people. This person is of course a narrow category, because the word "human" in the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than scholars and gentry. As for others, he did not even have real citizenship. Military men were ordinary men and pigs and dogs that could be driven at will, roughly the same as the Russian soldiers known as gray beasts in the Tsar era. As for ordinary people, it seemed that Taizu really gave them a favorable position back then. After all, the status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and farmers was only inferior to scholars, but this was actually a joke. Because these people had no wealth, were ignorant, and most of them were heavily in debt and could not even have enough food to eat, so they talked about "people".

From the beginning, this country was controlled by the scholars and officials. Zhu Di certainly knew that the rule of law governed by the scholars and officials could be ruled by the emperor and officials together, and the country could be stable forever. Therefore, even if he could kill Fang Xiaoru, he would never abandon the "scholars". He could be angry and killed several ministers, but he would never be able to bury all scholars. This is his contradiction. He knew that his descendants must rely on the scholars and officials to govern the country, and he also knew that the prince won the hearts of the people.

, it is not a bad thing to be supported by scholars. His son will definitely be able to defend his family business and continue his hard-earned country. But on the other hand, he is the public enemy in the eyes of these people. This assassination made him more aware of the crisis hidden behind this contradiction, so the only thing he can do now is to curb the prince, but he has to compromise with the prince. If he curbs the prince, he must use loyal people. But looking at the world, how many people can be loyal?

There are only two kinds of people around him, one is a scholar. These people had worn a pair of pants with the prince, and I am afraid that there were countless people who wished they would die as soon as possible and then happily create a peaceful and prosperous era with the prince. The other is the so-called heroes of the Jingnan Dynasty. Many of these people are Zhu Di's old brothers and good friends. However, Zhu Di's sad discovery was that these people may not be reliable, and it was ridiculous to say the reasons. They made great contributions and achieved success. Now they have titles and farms, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and shared the Ming Dynasty with the Ming Dynasty.

Enjoy peace, but the Ming Dynasty belongs to Zhu Di, but in the future, the world will still belong to the crown prince. Now that I want to curb the crown prince for the emperor, I will naturally have no chance of survival in my life, but what should I do with my children and grandchildren? So although they can be loyal, they have to plan a long-term path for their children and grandchildren. Whether it is the Zhu family, Zhang family, or Zhou family, they often adopt an indifferent attitude towards the many struggles in the court and adhere to neutrality. Everyone hopes to please both sides. This kind of thinking makes Zhu Di feel even more disappointed.

Hao Fenglou is different. Hao Fenglou has always been bold in nature. Besides, he has a grudge against the prince, and his family business is also in Lang Son thousands of miles away. In addition, his ability is already good, so he is the only target Zhu Di wins over.

After hearing Zhu Di's words, Hao Fenglou did not feel embarrassed and immediately said, "I thank you for your kindness."

Lanruo Temple.

A little shaman quickly walked into the Zen room.

Yao Guangxiao was in a coma at this moment, but when the little shady monk whispered in his ear, his eyes suddenly opened, Yao Guangxiao's face flushed, and after coughing desperately, he said, "Cough cough... Cough cough... It's done... It seems that it's done, but this gift is not enough. There is still a class that needs to be taught to him. He is young after all, and he doesn't know the reason for hitting the dog in the water... Cough cough... This is the last lesson. I hope he knows what it means to eliminate evil and kill all the things... You... Go and send an order to Chunsheng, go..."

The little novice monks here will never leave Zijin Mountain in their entire lives. They cannot live without Lanruo Temple. It is better to be a person from Shenwu Guard. In recent years, the center of Shenwu Guard has been in Lanruo Temple, which has led to the vast majority of the business of Shenwu Guards being influenced by Yao Guangxiao.

The little novice nodded and left quickly.

Yao Guangxiao was really out of reach, but a smile appeared on his face. This smile was not painful, but contentment.

He once planned and created the times and changed the direction of the entire Ming Dynasty. Now, even now, even in the years when he was old and was almost exhausted, he still wanted to change the direction again for the world and the countless people in the world. The fate of decades and even hundreds of years was like a chess piece, at his disposal. His thoughts, or even a humorous and bizarre idea, could change countless individuals and affect the rise and fall of every family, the life and death of each person.

"After the matter, I will leave, and I will hide my merits and fame..." In this small Zen room, the inconspicuous monk finally closed his eyes when he showed his last smile. The world was pure, but the whole world seemed like a locomotive whose tracks were changed by him. He adjusted his direction again. Where will it go and what will change? It is a peaceful and prosperous era, a paradise of imperial Taoism, or it is a killing everywhere, a wandering person, and a life like a grass introduction. The monk never thought about these. He only played chess, and playing chess was his pleasure. He had only been familiar with this in his life, and he was only concerned about this game. The fate of the chess piece was too far away from him.

Just like a child setting fire in a garden, this is just his pleasure. His pleasure lies only in playing with fire. But in the garden, countless insects and ants have nothing to do with him. If he can't see it, he will not feel sad or pity, because he is only responsible for setting fire, finding fun in the fire and enjoying temporary joy.

As an arsonist, Yao Guangxiao had already gone to immortality, but just one hour later, the capital caught fire.

A fire broke out in the warehouse of the East Palace, and the fire was incredible. In the East Palace, countless people were in chaos. Even Prince Zhu Gaochi was shocked. He quickly moved away from the fire point with many guards and palace servants. In fact, this fire was not necessarily big compared to an ordinary fire, because this fire only burned several houses and half of the courtyard, but the chaos and imagination caused was amazing.

Because not long ago, His Majesty was assassinated, and now, even the prince has been "assassinated". His Highness is still in shock, and other palace servants and guards are still scared. The guards arrested assassins everywhere, but what they got was only a few burnt and unrecognizable corpses. Obviously, there were traces of intentional arson here, but God knew who the arson was.

If it were in the past, this news would certainly cause a lot of shock, but now it is very different, so someone immediately entered the palace to report. In the warm pavilion, the emperor was still discussing the "precautions for the palace" with Hao Fenglou. The eunuch who had tiptoed to fall into the warm pavilion was out of breath and told the situation of the Eastern Palace.
