Hear what he said.

Both Lan Yu and Chang Sheng were confused for a moment.

Lan Yu asked directly, "Are you offering a plan? I, Lan Yu, don't even know what you're dealing with. What do you need advice on?"

Zhang Wen looked at Lan Yu with a determined gaze and said, "Duke Liang is undecided. Should he accept what Marquis Heqing just said? Or should he not dismantle the current emperor's current platform? Duke Liang must have seen that they are all waiting for your words. But Duke Liang, you are, after all, the emperor's uncle, aren't you?"

Of course Zhang Wen was not wrong.

The relationship between an uncle and nephew separated by two generations was certainly unreliable. However, it still had a certain influence on Lan Yu, which was the crux of his dilemma. Otherwise, with his violent temper of "attacking his own territory because his own people didn't open the gate for him," he would have overturned the table long ago.

Lan Yu was said to have known what was in his heart.

Suddenly there was a burst of anger.

He raised his hands and overturned the table in front of him, and the pots, bowls and chopsticks on it fell to the ground with a bang.

Lan Yu pointed at Zhang Wen and angrily shouted, "Zhang Wen, you're such a jerk! When we're fighting, you always like to scheme this and that. Now that there's no war left, you're scheming against me, Lan Yu!"

Zhang Wen's heart tightened, and he swallowed his saliva, almost unable to hold it in. This was the biggest killer in the Ming Dynasty. If he got angry, who could stand it?

But he still forced himself to remain calm, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said with a firm look, "I have a plan that will satisfy both sides. I wonder if the Duke of Liang and the Duke of Kai are willing to listen to it?"

Hearing what he said, Chang Sheng next to him seemed to be moved.

Before Lan Yu lost his temper, he immediately said, "Uncle, why don't we listen to what he wants to say first?"

Everyone is in the same party. Even though he is young, he knows that Zhang Wen has always been a man of many ideas. It is certain that he will not stand up without purpose at this time.

Hearing Chang Sheng say this.

Lan Yu gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffed out. Finally, he lifted his robe and sat down again, saying coldly, "A win-win solution?"

Only then did Zhang Wen secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Pursing his lips to ease his nervousness, he said, "Your Majesty once made a huge promise to us. He said this in front of the deceased emperor's corpse, pointing at the deceased emperor's spirit tablet... The conflicts and contradictions we have now are simply because Your Majesty gave up the huge benefits he could have obtained and gave them to the people of the world. This action contradicts his previous promise, however..."

"Whether it is really contradictory or not, we are still not sure."

"Perhaps, Your Majesty is simply seeking to stabilize the Ming Empire? Or perhaps to better fulfill his promise in the future? Therefore... Duke Liang doesn't need to act too drastically. He just needs to be certain of Your Majesty's attitude."

Lan Yu pondered for a moment.

His eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhang Wen and said, "You're just talking nonsense! We also want to know His Majesty's attitude. Everyone here just now wants to know His Majesty's attitude! The key is how can you be sure?"

Seeing that Lan Yu took his words to heart.

Zhang Wen's heart finally settled down, and with a faint smile on his face, he said, "Let others test it. Why do you, Duke of Liang, have to take action?"

Lan Yu and Chang Sheng exchanged glances, obviously not understanding what Zhang Wen meant.

Chang Sheng frowned and asked doubtfully, "Letting others test it? What's the point?"

Zhang Wen said, "Zhang Yi, Marquis of Heqing, Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan...anyone will do. Although it was Marquis of Heqing who suggested that, Duke Liang and Duke Kai also saw it. The expressions of the others suddenly changed, which shows that they have been paying close attention to this matter. Sooner or later, someone will be tempted to test it."

"Especially when Marquis Heqing brought up this matter just now."

"Neither the Duke of Liang nor the Duke of Kai have ever expressed any strong opposition. They already have a general idea of ​​your attitude in their hearts—you two are not firmly and unconditionally standing behind His Majesty."

"Next, Duke Liang and Duke Kai do not need to do anything."

"Some will inevitably take action, returning to their old ways to test Your Majesty's attitude. After all, once the wind of doubt in their hearts blows, it will spring back to life."

"After they do these things, you can just see how Your Majesty handles it. If Your Majesty doesn't make things difficult for them for the sake of the people, it means that Your Majesty still remembers the promise you made."

"This way, the Duke of Liang and the Duke of Kai will both know Your Majesty's attitude and be able to obtain what they deserve in the future without damaging their uncle-nephew relationship with Your Majesty. Isn't this a win-win solution?"

"If you act privately and cause His Majesty displeasure, let others handle it."

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Lan Yu and Chang Sheng, looking confident with a faint smile on his face.

He knew that if he didn't intervene, Lan Yu would inevitably waver, perhaps even be instigated by others to oppose the young emperor currently sitting in Fengtian Hall. But then, would the Ming Dynasty, which had finally regained its balance, be shattered again, leading to an unpredictable civil war? Would the vassal kings, who had been so painstakingly suppressed, begin to stir again? Would the people suffer financially and financially? The unknown remained.

At least Zhang Wen didn't want to see such a scene. When he followed the late emperor to conquer the world, wasn't it for the sake of one day settling down in the Central Plains?

He knew that greed and ambition were bottomless pits.

Even though he still didn't know how to deal with the current situation, at least... he could delay it for a while within his ability!!!
