"Your Highness, Sir Qu wants to see you."
Zhu Youlang's personal eunuch Lu Ge said respectfully.
Zhu Youlang was overjoyed when he heard this.
Really expect what comes.
If you want to say who Zhu Youlang wants to see the most right now, it must be Qu Shichen.
Qu Shishu had the highest official position among the officials that Zhu Youlang had direct contact with, and he was also the first to support Zhu Youlang in seizing the throne.
Zhu Youlang regarded him as his own Zhang Liang and Xiao He.
He hurriedly walked down the attic and started jogging without even caring about his manners.
Compared with other princes' mansions, Prince Gui's mansion is not big.
This is not because Gui Wang and his family are not popular, but because they fled to Guangxi.
How could a palace built in a hurry be perfect?
However, the main palaces and pavilions are still there.
Everyone in the palace knew the relationship between Qu Shichun and their own prince, so they naturally did not dare to neglect him.
At this moment, Qu Shichun was resting and drinking tea in the side hall.
Seeing His Royal Highness King Gui coming in a hurry, Qu Shishu stood up quickly to greet him.
"Your Majesty, Qu Shishu, pays homage to His Highness King Gui.
He is a thousand years old."
Qu Shiqi bowed to Zhu Youlang, and Zhu Youlang smiled and helped him up.
"Mr.
Qu, I just wanted to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to come."
In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang issued an imperial edict requiring all officials to kneel down and salute when meeting the prince.
Even if you are a first-rank official, you have to kneel down and kowtow.
But it is no longer the early Ming Dynasty.
Regardless of the military officers, the status of civil servants has reached its peak.
Even the emperor rules the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats.
Civil servants are not even afraid of the emperor, they are afraid of a mere vassal king It is very rare for Qu Shichun to be able to salute Zhu Youlang like this.
Zhu Youlang naturally would not be harsh on this kind of thing, and took the initiative to give Qu Shichen a seat.
"Your Majesty, I have come to report something important to you."
Qu Shichun said calmly.
"Oh, but there is news from Fujian."
Although some people from Prince Gui's Mansion also went to Fujian, Qu Shishu was definitely not idle either.
Judging from Qu Shiqi's posture, there should be some clues.
"That's not true."
Qu Shishu paused, then continued: "It's Ding Kuichu, he relaxed."
Zhu Youlang was disappointed after hearing the first half of the sentence, but he felt refreshed after hearing the second half.
"Why did that guy suddenly change his temper?"
In Zhu Youlang's view, Ding Kuichu was nothing more than a veteran who had been in official circles for many years.
This kind of person is inconspicuous and will never jump out if he looks slow and calm on weekdays.
This is also the reason why Zhu Youlang repeatedly made insinuations to get Ding Kuichu to express his position, but Ding Kuichu's attitude has always been ambiguous.
But what happened today?
Ding Kuichu actually let go Zhu Youlang still felt a little unbelievable.
He paused and said, "Is it because of Fujian?"
Qu Shishu nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise.
Although I have not obtained conclusive evidence yet, an informant reported that Ding Kuichu has been in contact with Zheng Zhilong recently."
I see Zhu Youlang suddenly realized.

If so this would explain it.
Ding Kuichu had been in contact with Zheng Zhilong, and he must have learned about Zheng Zhilong's decision to cooperate with him through conversation, so he simply pierced the window paper.
This is of course a good thing for Zhu Youlang.
You can never have too many allies and supporters.
One Qu Shichun is not enough, but adding Zheng Zhilong and Ding Kuichu is almost enough.
Both of them are local powerful factions.
The combined military strength of the two provinces is about 200,000.
Plus the soldiers of Guangxi, they can barely fight against the imperial court.
"Zheng Zhilong, Ding Kuichu" Zhu Youlang repeatedly tapped his fingers, pondered for a moment and said: "Since the two are on the same front, Ding Kuichu's attitude is that of Zheng Zhilong.
Now that Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian are connected into one, Mr.
Qu thinks when should he raise troops to clear the emperor's side?
" Seeing Zhu Youlang's eagerness, Qu Shiqi waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be rushed.
Although our three families are now allies, the connection between them is very loose.
If we really want to fight a tough battle, it will definitely not be enough.
Besides, At this time, the imperial court has just won a great victory in Sichuan, and its reputation is at its peak.
It is feared that the army will be unknown if it launches an attack at this time."
Qu Shichun's words are not unreasonable.
After all, once something like rebellion is done, there is no possibility of turning back.
If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person.
Therefore, you must be fully prepared.
Take the Qingjun side mentioned by Zhu Youlang just now.
Since you are using this banner, you must be able to list the crimes.
Didn't Emperor Yongle also list Huang Zicheng and other guilty officials when he was in trouble?
And who are you, Zhu Youlang, going to write about?
"This is not difficult.
The imperial court won the battle in Sichuan, but it cannot change the fact that the emperor was bewitched by traitors.
Then we can label the factory guards as traitors."
Dongchang, Jinyiwei, including the Neichang that was later established, have always been the targets of verbal and written criticism by civil servants.
There is certainly no big problem in using them as traitors and vilifying them verbally and in writing.
But Qu Shiqi still felt that this intensity was not enough.
"If His Highness insists on starting things as early as possible, I'm afraid he can't use the banner of Qingjun."
Zhu Youlang was stunned.
Qu Shiqi has always supported his decision.
But now Qu Shichun wants to openly oppose He was slightly unhappy, but still suppressed his temper and asked: "Sir, there is a better choice."
Qu Shishu sighed in his heart.
Although His Royal Highness King Gui has noble blood, his temperament is still too impatient and not calm enough.
Then let him help King Gui control the rhythm.
"Does Your Highness know the identity of the emperor today?"
Seeing him asking such a question, Zhu Youlang frowned and said, "Of course I know this.
The current emperor is the crown prince of Yizong."
Qu Shichen raised his eyebrows and said, "What if he isn't?"
Zhu Youlang woke up as if from a dream, feeling ecstatic in his heart.
Wonderful, wonderful!
Why didn't he think of such a good reason?
Compared with this, Qing Junzi is nothing worth mentioning.

The side of Qingjun refers to the emperor being bewitched by traitors, and the ministers come forward to eradicate the traitors for the emperor.
The emperor himself still does not have many problems.
But what Qu Shichu means is to question Zhu Cixiang's true identity and fundamentally deny the legitimacy of your succession to the throne.
"When he broke into the siege of Shenjing, Emperor Yizong was unable to escape.
He, the queen, the imperial concubine, and several princes were all in trouble.
Why was he the only one to escape?
Maybe he just looked similar to the prince of Yizong."
Tsk tsk, now even Zhu Youlang has to admire Qu Shiqi's viciousness.
If the prince is fake, the legitimacy of his ascension to the throne will naturally disappear.
Then Zhu Youlang's revolt is justified.
If he replaces him, it will safeguard the Huangming bloodline.
"But the reason is just guessing is not enough."
"There don't need to be many reasons, just one is enough.
If he is really the son of Yizong, how could he re-use the gang of people who killed his father?"
