Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"Come on, I won't make fun of you anymore."

"I've been hearing this all the way here. 'Your Majesty is wise,' 'Thank you for saving my life,' and so on. My ears are almost callused from hearing it. It's the same in my part of Xi'an, and it's the same in your part of Shanxi."

"Can you listen to this?"

"I can't stand listening to it anyway!"

"If this continues, the entire Ming Dynasty will really become the domain of that little bastard Zhu Yunhuan! No! It's that bastard standing behind him and stirring up trouble!"

Zhu Chong was not the kind of person who would hide things. When he was in a bad mood, he could beat and kill the maids and servants in his house at will, and he could also abuse the people in his fiefdom at will. The current situation was extremely unpleasant, so he said it directly.

Zhu Gang looked at Long Fan in silence.

Long Han stood up, forced a smile, and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Qin is right! Someone dared to take advantage of the young master to seize the throne of the Ming Dynasty. This is truly a heinous act! Let the whole world fight against them!"

Hear this.

Zhu Chong couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Okay, okay! Third brother, you really mean it. When Zhu Yunhuan ascended the throne, we shouldn't have listened to Fourth brother and endured this!"

"Now that it comes to this."

"Let's get straight to the point and cut to the chase."

"Right now, the rest of the Ming Dynasty is very stable, and the people are turning south. But Zhu Yunhuan's base is the only one that is in turmoil, and it can be said to be in utter chaos. Even the court officials have some complaints about this. After all, my father died not long ago, and there are always people who support and are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, or even just loyal to my father."

"We might as well take advantage of this opportunity!"

"Let's combine our strength and quietly march towards Yingtian Prefecture! There shouldn't be too many troops inside and outside Yingtian Prefecture. As long as we can catch them off guard and incite the people of Yingtian Prefecture to turn against us, we may be able to take Yingtian Prefecture!"

"The people are in agreement, and mobilizing troops takes time."

"The nobles of Huaixi are not gods who can block all attacks!"

Zhu Chong knew that it would be difficult for either him or Zhu Gang to accomplish this task alone, and that at least two people would have to work together to have a chance of success. Everyone knew these thoughts and considerations, so there was no need to hide them.

He paused slightly.

She casually opened a new teacup on the coffee table next to Zhu Gang, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it in a few gulps to moisten her mouth.

Then he spoke again: "If you have no objection, then let's divide the benefits."

"We'll do this together, and we'll split the profits. Your territory in Shanxi is large, and you have more troops. According to the original order of things, I should be the one to sit in the Fengtian Palace. So... let's march into Yingtian Prefecture and directly seize his base. After this is accomplished, we'll each own half of the Ming Dynasty!"

He placed the cup in his hand heavily on the coffee table, his eyes suddenly showing a cruel murderous intent. He was a cruel man, but not a stupid one.

As Zhu Chong's words fell.

The entire hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

Zhu Gang didn't say anything.

But one heart was beating wildly and rapidly.

Zhu Chong did say what he was thinking. Even before Zhu Chong came here, he and Long Han were still thinking about this matter. Now Zhu Chong's words were like someone bringing a pillow to someone when he was sleepy.

Zhu Gang subconsciously looked at his chief secretary, Long Fan.

There was a barely perceptible murderous intent in Long Han's eyes. This murderous intent was nothing else but looking at Zhu Chong from behind.

Zhu Gang and Long Han had been master and servant for many years, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were close friends. Of course, he immediately understood what Long Han meant. In fact, they had even reached a consensus on this point: after the matter was accomplished, they would deal with Zhu Gang!

In this way, Zhu Gang became the most likely heir.

After pulling Zhu Yunhuan down, it was natural for him to sit on the dragon throne in the Fengtian Hall!

The two exchanged a knowing look.

Zhu Chong said everything he needed to say. The two of them were talking in the same direction, so Zhu Gang naturally didn't say anything more. Instead, he slowly raised his hand, facing Zhu Chong with his palm, as if he wanted to high-five him.

"I like your straightforwardness! Unlike the fourth brother, who is always dithering and delaying my important matters!" Zhu Chong showed a heartless smile on his face and immediately raised his hand to high-five Zhu Gang.

High five to make an alliance.

This thing is done.

……

Yingtian Prefecture, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yunhuan was sitting behind the Dragon Desk processing the memorials he had submitted. As the sixth issue of the newspaper was published and spread to every corner of the Ming Dynasty, the number of memorials increased a lot.

For nothing else.

Zhu Yunhuan had done such a great thing, and the people were crying and kneeling. Of course, there was no reason for local officials to remain silent. They should have quickly submitted memorials and flattered him. This was the way to get ahead in officialdom.

After all, if you submit a memorial, His Majesty may not remember you, but if you don't submit a memorial, His Majesty will remember you.

Thanks to this, Zhu Yunhuan was able to understand the situation and reactions of various places regarding this matter in the shortest possible time, although he was a little tired.

At this time.

Ma Sanbao walked in slowly from outside.

His eyes were slightly solemn as he spoke, "Your Majesty, Commander Song has requested an audience. He said...there's something going on in Xi'an..."
