Yao Guangxiao could certainly guess that under Huang Zicheng's persuasion, Zhu Yunwen's attention would be focused on the Prince of Yan.

That's what he wanted.

He wanted to create chaos in the situation, but in fact Yao Guangxiao understood it better than Prince Yan.

If Zhu Ying had not interfered, there would have been almost no possibility for Prince Yan to ascend to the throne.

Although he has been making alliances and laying hidden cards everywhere.

But that's the current situation.

Once Your Majesty passes away and Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, the matter will be a foregone conclusion and it will be difficult to stir up any trouble again.

Although Yao Guangxiao now guessed that His Majesty might take action against the Huaixi military generals group, he did not expect that he would be so cruel.

Almost all the main generals of the Huaixi military group were wiped out.

With the troops of Prince Yan's Mansion, it is simply impossible to fight against the entire Ming Dynasty. The difference is huge.

Yao Guangxiao, who had just returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, had a gleam in his eyes.

"If Zhu Ying can't make it here, then we can only wait for the right opportunity."

Yao Guangxiao was not loyal to Zhu Di.

But as it stands now, only Zhu Di has the potential to realize his ambitions.

If Zhu Ying hadn't been there, Yao Guangxiao would have made some arrangements long ago.

That is to reduce the power of the feudal lords.

The reason why Huang Zicheng knew that Yao Guangxiao was staying in Prince Yan's Mansion but trusted him very much.

The key point is the idea of ​​reducing the power of the feudal lords proposed by Yao Guangxiao when he was chatting with Huang Zicheng.

Reducing the power of the vassal states was obviously a very disadvantageous thing for the Prince of Yan.

However, Yao Guangxiao repeatedly mentioned the dangers of rebellion by vassal kings.

In Huang Zicheng's opinion, Yao Guangxiao's mind was obviously not on Prince Yan. He should be loyal to the royal family like himself, rather than to a vassal king.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Yao Guangxiao and Huang Zicheng talked about the detailed strategies of reducing the power of the feudal lords many times.

Where to start, how to intimidate the kings, and a series of countermeasures.

Especially now that Zhu Yunwen has been designated as the Crown Prince, Yao Guangxiao's remarks are deeply agreed upon by Huang Zicheng.

He even regarded him as a close friend and invited Yao Guangxiao to join the Donggong team many times.

But he was rejected by Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao knew clearly that although the Prince of Yan himself longed for the throne, if he wanted to rebel, that would be another matter.

Not only is the risk of rebellion too great, the key point is that at the moment, Prince of Yan Zhu Di himself has no chance of winning.

How can a few tens of thousands of personal soldiers resist the millions of powerful troops of the Ming Dynasty?

However, what Yao Guangxiao wanted to do was to force Zhu Di.

If you don’t want to object, that’s fine.

Then I will try my best to force you to rebel.

Only when the situation is chaotic can Yao Guangxiao realize his ambitions.

For this reason, such a small matter as letting Prince Yan take the blame for Zhu Ying is not worth mentioning at all.

Even after entering Prince Yan's Mansion, he did not discuss this matter with Prince Yan at all.

"I have received news that the Xiaoling Mausoleum hopes that my father can personally go there during the excavation and sacrifice to suppress the resentment of my eldest nephew's untimely death."

"After hearing this, the emperor ordered that the ceremony be stopped today. Instead of going there, he ordered Zhu Ying to go and offer sacrifices."

Prince of Yan Zhu Di talked about things in the palace with a smile.

"It seems that Your Majesty has great trust in Zhu Ying. He wants him to participate in such matters." Yao Guangxiao replied.

"I'll have to leave the excavation to the master. This is the key and there can't be any mistakes."

"Once the mausoleum was excavated and the coffin was opened for autopsy, my eldest nephew appeared in the coffin."

"If this happens, all our efforts will be wasted. No matter how much the emperor thinks of Zhu Ying, he will never allow him to inherit the throne."

Zhu Di said with some concern.

He knew in his heart that the real body of his eldest nephew must still be lying in the coffin in the mausoleum.

The Zhu Ying outside is just a fake because she looks similar.

He didn't expect that his father really cared so much. The earth dragon had already rolled over and buried deep underground.

It was also necessary to organize so many laborers to completely excavate the entire mausoleum.

This move was really unexpected.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Whether we can dig it out or not is not the question for now. I have already explained it clearly to Your Highness's guards. It won't take much effort to make the mausoleum collapse again."

Yao Guangxiao said confidently that he had always been very proud of his abilities.

That is because he knows both astronomy and geography.

Therefore, he was extremely unwilling to lead an ordinary life and had great ambitions in his heart.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "I have already told my personal guards that no matter what, it must be accomplished."

These personal guards sent over were no different from death squads.

When he accepted this task from Zhu Di, he was already determined to die.

Zhu Di knew that given his father's temperament, he would definitely guard against it to the death.

The Xiaoling Mausoleum was already heavily guarded by the Xiaoling Guards. It would be extremely difficult to carry out any action under the eyes of the Xiaoling Guards.

Zhu Di was well aware of the possibility of collapse during excavation.

Once a collapse occurs, the guards who are digging will basically not survive, and there is a very high possibility that they will be buried alive.

The personal guards selected by Zhu Di were all his absolute confidants, and their loyalty was beyond doubt.

When they joined the disaster relief team, their parents, wives and children had already been properly arranged by Zhu Di.

Even if you complete the mission and are lucky enough to avoid a collapse, it is absolutely impossible to come back alive.

"Then please wait and see, Your Highness." Yao Guangxiao said in a deep voice.

Zhu Di nodded. Whether Zhu Ying's plan would succeed depended on this one move.

…

On Qinhuai Street.

Zhu Yingzheng and the servant who came to deliver the message rushed towards the teahouse.

At this time in the afternoon, Zhu Ying was either in the yard or wandering the streets.

It was the servant who came to report just now.

It is said that an eunuch from the palace placed a large order at the teahouse.

He directly gave a deposit of fifty strings of cash and asked the teahouse to prepare a large amount of breakfast as a sacrifice.

Tomorrow morning, we will be sent to the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zhongshan.

The eunuchs were coming, such a big event, so naturally Zhu Ying, the host, had to come forward to receive them.

Zhu Ying, who got the news, rushed over immediately.

"Sure enough, the early Ming Dynasty was completely different. The palace placed an order and even gave a deposit."

As soon as he arrived at the teahouse, Zhu Ying thought to himself.

Even now when we deliver breakfast to the noble families, others will eat it first and then settle the bill after three or five days.

Zhu Ying had not had much contact with the affairs in the palace, so the behavior of giving money first made Zhu Ying feel a little surprised.

But I didn't think much about it. After all, it involved an important royal site like the Xiaoling Mausoleum. It was reasonable for the eunuchs to be cautious.

The hall of the teahouse had obviously been cleared out long ago, and there was not a single customer.

There were only a few palace guards and a eunuch who looked quite old and was dressed in eunuch's clothes, sitting there sipping tea and waiting.

"My name is Zhu Ying, and I'm the owner of the teahouse. Nice to meet you, sir. I don't know what your name is."

Zhu Ying asked with neither humility nor arrogance, he bowed slightly and said.

The eunuch who came here was Liu He, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.

Although he had heard about Zhu Ying from His Majesty a long time ago, he also called him His Royal Highness Changsun.

But this was the first time I saw the real person, and even though I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help but shake my hands and almost broke the teacup.
