No one is born an emperor. As he ascended the throne, Zhu Qiyu is developing more and more in a direction that conforms to the emperor's identity. Family affection is no longer a priority, and imperial power is the foundation of his own existence.

The influence of the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen's reign for more than ten years could not be disappeared in just half a year. As long as he returned to the palace, even if he did not consider the loyalty of the old ministers of the "former dynasty", he could attract many ambitious people and unsatisfied people to cling to.

Zhu Qiyu has now figured out the hint between Cheng Jing and Chen Yichen. As long as the emperor lives in this world for one day, it will be the biggest threat to him. Even if he can't bear it to the end, he has to do it.

Since ancient times, there has been no room for family affection to exist in the royal family.

Facing Emperor Jingtai’s inquiry, Chen Yichen did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Chen Yichen once thought very simply, that is, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu made up his mind and killed the emperor's brother by himself, so that he could eliminate future troubles forever and completely change the historical process.

However, as Zhu Qiyu showed his emperor's qualifications and forced the Empress Dowager Sun to return to power and retreat to the harem, and slowly settled in the throne. Chen Yichen set his sights for a longer time and found that the biggest threat to Emperor Jingtai in the future was actually not Zhu Qizhen, but the crown prince Zhu Jianshen!

The civil and military officials of the court, including Empress Dowager Sun, actually silently accepted the reality of Zhu Qiyu becoming the emperor in his heart, and understood that when Zhu Qizhen returned, the new king abdicated and gave way to the wise, it was a delusion, unless it was a coup.

In order to maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty and to avoid the crisis caused by the conflict between the two emperors, as long as Zhu Qiyu treats the Supreme Emperor too much, many people are actually willing to maintain decentness and let Emperor Jingtai be a transitional emperor safely, as long as they eventually return the throne to Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen.

When the incident of the Desert Sect occurred in history, according to the order of legal system and inheritance, it was not the turn of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty to restore the throne. On the contrary, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne.

So what many people don’t know is that in theory, what the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen regained was not his own throne, but his own throne that should have belonged to his son!

So an extreme problem was placed in front of Chen Yichen, who had a God's perspective. Even if he used means to kill the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, should Zhu Qiyu attack his nephew in the future to completely ensure that his country is forever?

And compared with the king who saved the times like Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, the civil and military achievements of Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen, ascended the throne, are not a problem to describe it as the Lord of Revival who helped the Ming Dynasty to prosper.

Taking over the stormy Ming Dynasty, the Tusi Barbarians uprising in the south, quelled the Jianzhou Jurchen rebellion in the northeast, and fought the famous "Chenghua Liting". Even through several battles such as the Battle of Red Yanchi and the Battle of Weininghai, the Hetao area that has been lost since the Renxuan period, and curbed the throat of Mongolia's rise!

The battle report will deceive people, but the front line will not deceive people. Such a wise and powerful king, but because of his great martial arts and his ruthlessness towards foreign races, violates the traditional image of the Confucian king's education of "the sage inside and the king outside".

The focus in historical books is all on "Concubine Wan" who favored Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty and the reuse of eunuch Wang Zhi to open the "Western Factory", which is a tragic sense.

Of course, these are all things that happened many years later. No one knows whether the current crown prince Zhu Jianshen can still become Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty in history.

However, the direction of history may change. Chen Yichen believes that the fate cannot be changed. Zhu Qiyu’s biggest fatal weakness in the future is that there is no descendant!

Prince Zhu Jianji was weak and sick since he was born. With the medical technology of this era, he eventually died at the age of five. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu himself was not the king of longevity. He was sick and bedridden after he was less than 30 years old. He was such an only son from beginning to end.

If even the Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen is not let go in order to eliminate future troubles, it means that the Ming Xuanzong's law system has been extinct. Then who will inherit the position of the Great Order in the future and find a branch from the descendants of Ming Renzong?

Whether or not Zhu Qizhen is killed is not the key. The key is that Shen Yichen cannot predict now. After savoring the supreme power, Zhu Jianshen will treat the crown prince Zhu Jianshen.

From the perspective of the historical prophet, Zhu Jianshen cannot die, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will lead to an unknown abyss!

"Chen Qing, is this problem very difficult?"

Looking at Chen Yichen's silent for a long time and without answering, Zhu Qiyu's tone was a little cold.

As a king, no one would hope that the minister who serves for him would always have two hearts. So Zhu Qiyu subconsciously concluded Chen Yichen's silence as his "nostalgia" for the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Faced with Zhu Qiyu's questioning, Chen Yichen took a deep breath and then slowly said: "I hope that the Ming Dynasty ruled by Your Majesty can move far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties and achieve great success in the Tang Dynasties!"

No matter what the situation is, Chen Yichen cannot say the words of regicide, but when he compared Zhu Qiyu with Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, the answer was self-evident.

The way to treat Zhu Qizhen is needed to treat a Ming version of the "Xuanwu Gate Change"!

Zhu Qiyu understood such a simple and straightforward metaphor, and in a sense it was also the answer he expected to get.

Many times people are like this. They have already made a decision in their hearts, but they can't make up this decision. They need others to kick them away.

Zhu Qiyu called Chen Yichen to the Yushu room for questions today, but in fact he wanted the other party to help him make up his mind!

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhu Qiyu found that he was not as relieved as he imagined. On the contrary, he felt like he was pressing on a big stone and couldn't breathe.

After being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "I understand, Chen Qing, please step down."

Zhu Qiyu now needs some space for her own, and she is a brother and brother who grew up with her!

"I, take your leave."

Chen Yichen bowed and said nothing more, preparing to leave the imperial study room.

However, just as he was about to turn around and step across the threshold, Zhu Qiyu's voice came again: "I think Shen Qing should be the candidate for the president of the Jisi exam."

Chen Yichen's advice on killing the king almost showed that he and the emperor no longer had any involvement, and he completely turned to his own side. At the same time, compared to his fear in his heart, Zhu Qiyu cherished the other party's talents more, and there was no perfect person in the world.

Even if Chen Yichen has the ambition of a powerful minister, as long as he can suppress his control of military power, he can use it well for himself.

As the saying goes, those who are superior should have clear rewards and punishments. The position of president of the examination is Zhu Qiyu's reward for Chen Yichen's "answer".

"I, thank your Majesty for your kindness!"

The reputation and qualifications of the court are not only the early opportunity to be admitted to the government, but also the ability to serve as a candidate for one or even several sessions during his career as a senior official!

For example, Cao Nai, Chen Xun and others were appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet, but were suppressed by the six ministries during their tenure. The reason was that they had no chance to serve as the president of the examination. If they wanted to choose a confidant from the junior officials, they could not find the most suitable candidate.

Now that Zhu Qiyu has made Chen Yichen the president of the examination, he undoubtedly opened another door to power!

The importance and influence of the president of the examination were also known by Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu. He looked at Chen Yichen who bowed to him and added meaningfully: "Chen Qing, don't let me down."

"I will definitely live up to my entrustedness!"

"Go."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand with some self-deprecating thought that such instructions were actually meaningless, and as an emperor, he should not add this sentence.

Chen Yichen naturally saw the self-deprecating expression on Zhu Qiyu's face, but he did not say much and still obediently took the order and withdrew from the imperial study room.

After walking out of the imperial study room, Chen Yichen discovered that there was a long-lost sunshine outside the house, dyeing the entire silver-covered Forbidden City with a touch of gold.

"As long as you don't disappoint the people of the world, I will not disappoint you."

After muttering this sentence from his mouth, Chen Yichen strode out of the palace.

Looking at Chen Yichen's back leaving, Yin Chengjing, the inner supervisor, walked into the imperial study room, stood silently beside Zhu Qiyu with a mocking expression, and asked, "Your Majesty, have you made a decision?"

Compared with "foreign ministers" like Chen Yichen, Cheng Jing has been Zhu Qiyu's teacher since the time of Prince Hui's residence, and he has not had so many concerns about many things.

"Chen Yichen used the analogy of Emperor Taizong of Tang. He wanted me to follow the Xuanwu Sect's change and kill my brother..."

Hearing Zhu Qiyu's answer, Cheng Jing had no surprise on his face. Chen Yichen, who was only temporarily appointed as the Censor of the Chief Censor during the flood control in Shandong, dared to kill the king behind his back. It is not surprising that he dared to mention the monarch's murder now.

"Cheng Jing, after all, he is my brother, and I have promised my mother that she will welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the palace. What do you think I should do?"

When he said this, Zhu Qiyu's face was full of pain. Only in front of Cheng Jing, who had absolute trust, could he take off his disguise as an emperor and truly express his emotions in his heart.

"When you stop breaking, you will suffer from chaos. If you stop breaking and stopping, you will suffer from future troubles."

"Emperor, what we have never carried out is not the way of benevolence and righteousness, but the way of kings and dominance!"

Cheng Jing never regarded himself as an imperial teacher, and never asked the emperor to call himself a gentleman like Wang Zhen.

But this time, he was like a teacher, giving Zhu Qiyu a course on imperial power.

Hearing Cheng Jing's words, Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was no sign of pain on his face, and it turned into a kind of indifference.

"I know what to do."

"Then I will say something more, Your Majesty must not be too hasty."

Cheng Jing is an old man who has experienced the rebellion between Jingnan and Han King. The Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen must die, but he cannot die immediately on the way back or after returning to the palace. In this way, even if he is a fool, he understands that the person who takes action is the new king.

If Zhu Qiyu had the control of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, it would be fine if all officials and people knew about it. Who dares to raise objections?

But the problem is that Zhu Qiyu does not.

Only when Zhu Qizhen is safe and sound can the Empress Dowager be willing to retreat to the harem and no longer interfere in politics. Only when the ministers and ministers who are loyal to the court can maintain superficial peace and place their future expectations on the crown prince Zhu Jianshen.

Once the fragile balance is broken, unless Zhu Qiyu can fully control the inside and outside the court, the empress dowager will definitely not give up. If it is a little more ruthless, it is not impossible to contact foreign ministers to depose the emperor and support the crown prince ascend the throne in advance.

Now there is almost no one who truly surrenders to Zhu Qiyu.

On the contrary, the old-fashioned honorees who were dissatisfied with the matter of inheriting the title were caught in a lot of people!

At a certain point in the future, the silent "death of illness" is the most suitable method for Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Listening to Cheng Jing’s reminder, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, “Don’t worry.”

After saying that, Zhu Qiyu looked out the window, with a hint of cold light in his eyes.

On the other hand, Chen Yichen walked out of the palace, but saw Zhao Hongjie waiting for him at the palace gate.

"Yangbei, Your Majesty has not pursued you for deceiving the monarch, right?"

"Your Majesty, you forgot."

Chen Yichen smiled and replied, "The Supreme Emperor is about to return to the palace, but it is much more important than his own "crime of deceiving the king". Zhu Qiyu has no intention to care about these things."

"Just kidding, but then again, your move is too bold. If Zhu Ji had no impulse to grab the letter, I wouldn't know how to end it."

"If he could calm down his anger, it wouldn't be Zhu Ji."

After all, he was also a "brother" who grew up with his family in Yingtianfu since childhood. He was very familiar with Zhu Ji's nature. It is no exaggeration to know himself and his enemy to use it on him.

If it were another person, Chen Yichen would not have used this method.

After chatting about Zhu Ji for a few words, Zhao Hongjie looked around vigilantly, then lowered his voice and said, "Xiangbei, is the assassination outside the Emperor's Pass? Is this matter related to you?"

In the assassination incident of Zhu Qizhen, Datong General Guo Deng was able to conceal the identity of the assassin, but he could not conceal the whole matter. As the Jinyiwei, the spy agency of the Ming Dynasty, he learned about it immediately and was ready to investigate.

Zhao Hongjie had a vague premonition in his heart that this may have something to do with Chen Yichen. After all, it is still a bit difficult to find a second bold person in the Ming Dynasty.

He must confirm the matter in person before he can decide how to investigate in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to cover it up if he finds out something.

"yes."

He nodded simply, Chen Yichen did not hide it from Zhao Hongjie.

Hearing this answer, Zhao Hongjie subconsciously took a breath. Even if the Emperor takes action, killing him is still within the category of monarchicide!

Is Chen Yichen really tired of living? How dare he do such things?

After a brief shock, Zhao Hongjie calmed down and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll find a way to deal with the aftermath."

Zhao Hongjie has never forgotten the scene of killing Han Yong over the years. He doesn't want anyone to follow Han Yong's footsteps in order to keep the secret!

"It's trouble."

Brothers who are born and die need to say a lot of things. Chen Yichen patted Zhao Hongjie's arm, and everything was indifferent.

"By the way, Datong Ye Wujue also brings news. The Supreme Emperor seems to have left a dragon seed in the thorns. The pregnant woman is still the sister of the Grand Master Yesen."
