"Shouldn't I be the Grand Tutor?" Lan Yu sighed and threw himself on the Grand Tutor's chair. His expression was very lonely. For a veteran who had been serving this empire all his life, in the end, he did not receive the honor he hoped for, and seemed to have grown much older all of a sudden. For Lan Yu, he had been working so hard to fight and fight, and what supported him was his desire for honor.

In his mind, ranking the three dukes was the highest goal in his life, such as Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun, he became the most minister. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's reward did not add the three dukes as everyone guessed at the beginning, and even the three orphans whom everyone thought were the minimum.

The so-called three dukes and three orphans, the three dukes refer to the Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, and the first rank. Shaoshi, Shaofu, and Shaobao are the three orphans, who are from the first rank. They are responsible for assisting the emperor, regulating Yin and Yang, and promoting the country. Their positions are the most important. There are no fixed personnel and no special qualifications. In the Hongwu dynasty, only three people ranked in the third throne. In the third year of Hongwu, they were awarded the Taishi Li Shanchang and Xu Da Taifu. First, Chang Yuchun was awarded the Taigu. Three orphans had no one in the same rank in the long term. In the future, there were too many young people to take the title of Shaogu, and Zhang Juzheng was given the title of Shaogu and the Taishi of the Prince, which was already rare. The status of the Three Dukes was extremely respected. In the Ming Dynasty, no one could add such a position except the three in Hongwu years.

The third division and the third prince were the crown prince's grand tutor, the crown prince's grand tutor, and the crown prince's grand tutor. They were the first rank, and were responsible for tutoring the crown prince with morality and were cautious in protecting him. The crown prince's grand tutor, the crown prince's grand tutor, and the crown prince's grand tutor, and the second rank, were responsible for serving the crown prince, and taught the three princes. They were all ministers of the Eastern Palace, without a fixed number and no special qualifications. In the first year of Hongwu, Taizu had a personal mission, and was concerned that the crown prince's grand tutor was set up, and they had no rifts. So they were court officials as well as palace officials: Li Shanchang was also the crown prince's grand tutor, Xu Da was also the crown prince's grand tutor, and Chang Yuchun was the crown prince's grand tutor. Later, the third division and the third prince became a sign of favor, not specifically referring to officials of the Eastern Palace, such as Yuan Chonghuan once added the crown prince's grand tutor.

So when everyone was looking forward to Lan Yu becoming the fourth third prince in this dynasty, the title of a prince and tutor was like a piece of food that was unhappy. The absent-minded rib stuck in Lan Yu's throat, which made him very upset.

Cheng Shimei said: "Donald Liang, I'm afraid that the situation is stronger than others. The rewards issued by the emperor are very favored to you on the surface, but in fact they are always wary of you. As soon as you returned to Beijing, you immediately granted Shence Guard to King Ning and asked Li Jinglong to serve as the Five City Military Command. This is obviously a guard against you. Who knows if the Sichuan soldiers retreat, will the emperor take action against you? Duke Liang will be in trouble."

Lan Yu was on the chair of the Grand Master, his face was gloomy. What else could he not make up his mind? Several close confidants around him didn't know how to persuade him. Lan Yu suddenly asked: "Cao Zhen, why are you willing to put your life on me?"

Cao Zhen said: "In the future, some people may think that I, Cao Zhen, support Liang Gong, is to pursue fame and fortune, and gain the merit of opening up the world and following the dragon. But Zhen didn't think so in his heart. Zhen just felt that the emperor didn't like us brothers for some reason in the past few years. Hu Xiang killed a group of people, so I don't believe that Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Fei Ju, and Lu Ju really wanted to rebel. They all were all named Marquis. What's the benefit of opposing them? In the end, can they still be named Duke and King? Recently, Ye Sheng was killed because of the words of a family slave. Marquis of Yongjia, Juliangzu, was whipped to death. After death, he was punished as a Hu party. Now, Mr. Fu has been forced to death so cruelly.

Zhen is afraid that one day this knife will hit me. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to follow Liang Gong to fight. After the matter is done, Zhen should not be a high-ranking official and generous salary. Just give me a piece of countryside and be a free and easy rich man." Cao Zhen said very realistically. In fact, people really want people to believe in Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng and others, and no one will believe that even if some of them really rebel, there should not be so many princes and princes. In everyone's eyes, this is just a trick of Zhu Yuanzhang's death in rabbits and dogs.

Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, said again: "The King of Zhongshan died in an unknown way. Where did he get a carbuncle on his back and even gave him a geese? The King of Longxi, Duke Wen Zhong, actually suspected that the imperial physicians were poisoned. Even if they were given a thousand courage, they would dare to poison them? I, Lao Zhang, didn't believe that I was beaten to death, and in the end, all the imperial physicians who had treated Duke Wen Zhong were killed. What's the point of silence? In the past, I would have been secretly attacked by my brothers, and there would be a sorrow after death; or I would have been guilty of a crime. Now, I have no explanation for forced Duke Fu to death. I am tired of living such a life. Duke Liang, you have made such a great contribution. The emperor only gave you a prince tutor. The blind man can taste the taste of it. It is obvious that he has done great achievements now. How can he do in the future? Lao Zhang dare not imagine."

Cheng Shimei said: "Last time Liang Gong used Mei's plan to invite Shaanxi to train soldiers. Now the emperor left the letter to the memorial, which is obviously a drag. After the reward was given, the soldiers of the two generals Sun Rang and Mao Hai had to go back. When they left and Liang Gong's wings left, the emperor would probably take action."

"Stop talking!" Lan Yu suddenly interrupted Cheng Shimei, "Since that's the case, I am not a person who surrenders. Everyone is a brother who follows me through life and death. Since everyone says so, Lan Yu has to put his head on his belt and fuck him. If a real man is alive, he would rather die standing than live on his knees. Everyone will definitely return everyone to wealth and honor with me. Cao Zhen, Zhang Yi, how many people are there?"

The two looked at each other and it seemed that Lan Yu had made up his mind. Cao Zhen hurriedly said, "I have two hundred clans in the garden in the countryside, and there are also hundreds of people in Lao Zhang. In addition, Zhang Wen, Chen Huan, Zhushou, Cao Xing and others can also gather a thousand people. They usually practice both skills at home, and they can fight and kill people."

Lan Yu said, "Okay, since you have done it, you must do it thoroughly. On February 15th, the emperor left Zhengyang Gate to persuade farmers, and all the officials and workers in the capital must go together. Let's do it on this day. Zhuang Cheng, the vanguard of the government army will follow the team to protect the troops. Once you do it, you must disperse the soldiers of the Jinyiwei and Jinwu Guard and surround the Holy Guard, and do not let him run away." Zhuang Cheng received the order.

Lan Yu said again: "Sun Rang, Mao Hai, you two will lead the headquarters to ambush on both sides of the official road outside Zhengyang Gate. Just wait for Sun Cheng and the others to attack each other twice. Be sure to catch him and a group of princes and officials." Sun Rang, Mao Hai and the other two quickly stood up to receive the order.

"The Yulin Right Guard remains in the city, and there are all soldiers and generals in the marquis' mansions waiting for Cao Zhen's command. Your mission is to invade the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Military and Horses of the Five City, and cooperate with Huang Ke, and not allow one soldiers and soldiers in the city to be transferred out of the city to serve the king; Wang Cheng and Wang Xin, you two lead the Longjiang Right Guard and the Longxiang Guard to control the thirteen city gates in the capital, and be sure to take a fly even if you can't fly." Lan Yu ordered. Cao Zhen, Zhang Yi, Huang Ke, Wang Cheng, Wang Xin and others took the order together.

Lan Yu finally said: "All actions are subject to Gongjun's responsibility. You must obey Gongjun's orders and no mistakes are allowed."

Cheng Shimei said: "Donald Liang, in addition to military aspects, we must also make some preparations in the court."

Lan Yu said: "Zhan Hui, Minister of Personnel, Minister of Revenue Fu Youwen, Minister of Revenue, and Chief of Shangbao Si Hong, He Hong, has always had friendship with me, and Gong Junke contacted them. However, this will slow down a little in advance, and then notify them after the military plan is ready. I will say again that without my husband's order, no one should know about the matter discussed today, including your wife and children. But remember."

"Yes, please listen to Liang Gong's order!" Everyone's faces were red, and Lan Yu finally made up his mind.

...

On the seventh day of the second month, everything is not appropriate.

Zhu Zhi's injuries have been healed. Since the New Year, he has been keeping a low profile in his mansion and has just waited for the beginning of spring to leave the capital and become a vassal. Now that he is weak, he obviously won't get any benefits when he fights Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, during the New Year, he has been using the excuse that he has not healed and stayed at home to express his gratitude to the guests.

Zhu Zhi calculated the day. According to historical records, it was time for Zhu Yuanzhang to take down Lan Yu on the eighth day of the second month. The two brothers Qu You and Qu Yuan suddenly visited in the evening and brought a surprising news.

Qu Yuan said: "My father was invited to the mansion by Mr. Lan last night. He stayed until the third o'clock in the morning before returning home. After returning home, my father locked himself in the study until morning. This morning, he asked us to pack up our things and escort our mother back to our hometown to live temporarily. My brothers said that they would follow the Liao King to Liaodong to make achievements soon, and that the spring would be done. My father looked solemn and angry, and ordered me to leave the capital today. We brothers felt it was very strange, so we came to ask Your Highness to make an idea."

Zhu Zhi frowned. Has Lan Yu pulled Qu Neng into the gang? Zhu Zhi asked, "Have you told other people about this?" The two shook their heads together.

Zhu Zhi said, "Okay, you'd better not say anything, wait for me to deal with it. Let's take me to see General Qu." After that, Zhu Zhi immediately got up and changed his clothes. God, Qu Neng can't fall into the Lan Yu party. If he was caught, an important piece in his Liaodong strategy would be gone.

Zhu Zhi followed the Qu family brothers to the Qu Mansion on horseback. He didn't want to attract attention and quietly entered the mansion from the back door. The Qu Mansion was quiet and no one walked around. This silence made Zhu Zhi a little uncomfortable. The Qu brothers took him to the door of the study, and Qu Yuan knocked on the door and said, "Father, are you there?" There was a sound from inside: "Come in." The three of them pushed the door and walked in.

Qu Neng sat behind the desk, his eyes looking at the uninvited guest entering the door. Zhu Zhi removed the felt hat on his head and said, "I will come and see General Qu." Qu Neng looked at him in surprise, but because he had been fighting outside for a long time, he did not know Zhu Zhi. Qu Yuan said, "This is Qiansui, the King of Liao."

Qu Neng was surprised and quickly got up from his seat and knelt down to salute. Zhu Zhi helped him up and said with a smile: "I saw the general's style in Fengtian Palace that day. I had a desire to meet him, but some trivial matters were delayed. It was not until today that I was lucky enough to see the general." Qu Neng hurriedly didn't dare to take it. The two of them exchanged greetings and sat down for a while, and the two brothers stood on both sides of Qu Neng.

Zhu Zhi said straight to the point: "The two young men have great talents. I cherish them very much. I want to take them to Liaodong with me to make achievements. I wonder if the general can give up?"

Qu Neng said: "Thank you for your wrong love, how can the dog son afford it? But the saint said that his parents are not traveling far away. They can serve in the army with their elder brothers, and they can hope that they will serve the inner son."

Zhu Zhi said: "The saint did say this, but the next sentence is that if you don't travel far, you will have a good idea. I'm afraid General Qu has other plans to condemn the two young masters, right?" Qu Neng's face changed and he had nothing to say. Zhu Zhi saw it, and he had already had a conspiracy in his heart. He took the opportunity to instruct the two brothers to go out and not allow anyone to approach the study. He had something to say to Qu Neng.

Zhu Zhi said: "In which year did General Qu join the army?"

Qu Neng said: "When you go back to your highness, you will be the last one who will be enlisted in the fifth year of Hongwu."

Zhu Zhi said: "Hehe, it took only twenty years for the general to follow Bai Ding to Feng Bo. This achievement is also a great favor in this dynasty."

Qu Neng didn't know what Zhu Zhi was going to say, so he had to respond: "It's all the grace of the emperor, what kind of achievements will be done?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Why should we be humble? Those of us in the court do not know the pain of fighting outside. These glory are what the general deserves. I wonder what the relationship between the general and General Lan is usually with?"

Qu Neng said: "I wonder what your highness meant by asking?"

Zhu Zhi said: "That day, in the hall, my father gave me wine. Only the general drank it. The other three had to wait until General Lan spoke before drinking."

Sweat was oozing from Qu Neng's head. Qu Neng had heard from his two sons that he had always thought that he was just a natural descendant and was named the prince. He only said that he was an ignorant prince. Who knew that Zhu Zhi had such careful observation ability, and he hit the knot in Qu Neng's heart in one sentence.

Qu Neng replied: "They have always been from General Lan, and the last general only followed General Lan during this expedition to the west."

Seeing that his expression had already guessed a little in his heart, Zhu Zhi said again: "If you follow General Lan, what will you get? A title of marquis or a title of Duke?"

This sentence stabbed Qu Neng hard like a sharp sword. He didn't know how much Zhu Zhi knew, but he felt as if he had seen through his heart. Qu Neng said: "I don't understand your highness's words."

Zhu Zhi stood up and snorted coldly: "If you don't want others to know, unless you don't do it, there is no airtight wall in the world. Do you think that what Lan Yu does behind his back will be hidden from the emperor's eyes?! Lan Yu asked the general to pass the mansion last night, did he bring the general into the gang and rebel with him?!"

What, can Zhu Zhi know about Lan Yu's secret matter except for the mistakes? What should he do? If he sues himself, it would be the crime of raiding the house and extermination. Qu Neng was confused and suddenly saw the sword hanging on the wall. His pupils suddenly contracted.

The murderous aura of the people crawling out of the dead suddenly came out, and even Zhu Zhi felt something, but he still said extremely calmly: "If I go to report it, the one who comes to see you at this time is the Jinyiwei, not me! Even if the general can kill me at this time, can he escape by the fifteenth day of the first day of the lunar month? General Qu can no longer be obsessed with it. I value the general's talent and have a good relationship with the two young masters, so I came to persuade the general to stop his horse!"

Zhu Zhi's words made Qu Neng's chaotic heart blow into a fresh air. He was just at a loss and was now quickly restrained his murderous aura and said, "How can Your Highness know this?"

Zhu Zhi said: "How do I know that the general doesn't need to care about it. Now the general needs to care about his own wealth and life. I can't watch two good brothers follow the general to hell." Qu Neng collapsed on the chair of the Grand Master, with a depressed expression.

Zhu Zhi knew that his psychological defense was about to collapse, and said, "General, think about it carefully. You are not General Lan's personal personalities. He brought you into the group to value your current position and seek help. Even if he succeeds by chance, can the general get greater glory? You have to consider a risk in everything. The general takes risks for his own selfishness. Once he fails, he will have to pay the life of his family. Where can he do what he wants to do? "

Originally, Qu Neng was not Lan Yu's direct line, but he just brought the governor's office of the rear army, and Lan Yu wanted to bring him into the gang. Even if Lan Yu succeeded, could he really be a duke as he promised? Qu Neng alone didn't believe it very much. So in the face of such a life-threatening matter, Qu Neng could only perfunctory Lan Yu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he made a long-term plan. In his heart, he didn't really want to rebel against the court, but he was not sure. Lan Yu had accumulated merits for a long time, and his troops were everywhere inside and outside the army. If the rebellion succeeded, would he be involved in the murder?

This question of survival is still a destruction. Qu Neng had closed the door and thought for a night, but still couldn't come up with a solution. He had to ask his two youngest sons to take his wife to the countryside to avoid disaster. Now it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang was prepared. If he was to be wiser, he would be really not pleased by the time.

Thinking of this, Qu could hold his heart straight and slash, so he might as well believe the prince in front of him. He sighed and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, you can be punished for death, Lan Yu does have the intention of being unjust. Please give him a clear way."

Zhu Zhi hurriedly helped him up and said, "It's not too late to stop the cliff. The general is a smart person. As long as you stand firmly on the side of the emperor, you can keep you rich and noble. I am here, can you testify for the general. What did Lan Yu ask the general to do?"

Qu Neng told Zhu Zhi all the things he had happened in the mansion last night, which scared Zhu Zhi to his shock. He originally wanted to pull Qu Neng back, but he didn't expect to hear such amazing news: Lan Yu wanted to take action in advance and would grab the door and enter the palace today night.

It turned out that Lan Yu recruited Qu Neng into the mansion to show off with him and pointed out two ways to follow him, either helping him to raise trouble or stay in the Lan Mansion honestly, and actually put him under house arrest. Qu Neng had no choice but to agree to Lan Yu as the inner supporter of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and was released from the mansion. Lan Yu asked Qu Neng to return to the Governor's Office before falling into black tonight and issue a transfer order for the army that was taking action.

Zhu Zhi was really surprised to hear the news. According to history, Lan Yu will be captured in the hall tomorrow. What was the reason why Lan Yu suddenly had to take action tonight early? Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang's plan was leaked to him? Fortunately, he wanted to save Qu Neng, otherwise by dawn tomorrow, the world of Ming Dynasty would really become his surname Lan.

Zhu Zhi paced back and forth in the house, trying to calm himself as much as possible. What should he do in the face of the changes in front of him? After a moment, Zhu Zhi said, "General Qu, do you want to make meritorious service?" Qu Neng nodded quickly.

Zhu Zhi said again: "Okay, you go back to the governor's office immediately, bring your confidants, and arrest all the rebels who dare to rebel. In addition, except for the emperor's imperial edict and my token, the general shall not obey anyone's orders and issue any orders. This is my token. Please follow the two young masters tonight. If necessary, you will come to contact the general with this token. After today." As he said that, Zhu Zhi took off his Liao King's waist card and gave Qu Neng to see.

Qu Neng knelt down and said, "It's all up to Your Highness to send you."
