Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

East Palace.

The Xiongying family lived in the small courtyard in the past.

The hero stood by the guardrail of the pavilion in the palace courtyard, his face full of melancholy, self-blame, uneasiness, and anger. He stared at the burning biogas lamp in a daze.

Side hall.

Ma Qian, the grandson's concubine, stared worriedly at the back of the hero. From time to time, she quietly looked to the side, in the direction of the main hall, through the glass window.

She knew that her grandson must be feeling very uncomfortable at this moment.

After all, His Majesty, as the biological father of his great-grandson, used such despicable means to plot against his fourth uncle, who was regarded as his father by his husband.

But at this moment, if we talk about this palace courtyard.

Who can comfort my great-grandson, probably the only concubine and sister.

At a certain moment, the palace maids and eunuchs left one after another.

Ma Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cai Lu and walked out of the main hall.

Several years of palace life.

In the past, the girl with big eyes who was naughty and lively is now more restrained and steady.

Coming behind Xiongying, he deliberately joked: "You stay under the lamp for so long, do you want mosquito bites, so that you will feel more comfortable?"

The hero turned his head when he heard the sound.

"Senior sister." He said with a wry smile: "It was just the beginning of March. Where did this senior sister get mosquitoes from? I really want mosquitoes to bite me and hurt me, so maybe I won't feel so guilty."

"Senior sister, I want to go to the Huitong Hall to see how my fourth uncle and fourth aunt are doing, and to see if my little sister and the others are frightened, but I don't dare to go, I have no shame to go..."

As he spoke, Xiongying suddenly squatted down and covered his face in pain, "Father, why did he do this! Why! Isn't the fourth uncle good enough to Zhongyuan, to Daming, and to him? Isn't he not benevolent enough?"

"If he wants an armored fleet, he can definitely tell his fourth uncle and place an order with his fourth uncle Yanhua. Why..."

Cai Lu looked at Xiong Ying. He was a grandson and he was in his early twenties.

At this moment, he actually showed such a decadent side.

I can't help but feel sad.

They have known each other since they were children.

When he was on Jilong Island, he was the youngest.

There is nothing to say about her background, she is the most delicate.

There wasn't even a callus on my feet.

But training in the military camp, walking on gravel roads, sharpens your will.

The soles of my feet are bloody and bloody when I walk, and I don’t even feel pain.

But at this moment,...

After all, what happened recently has been a huge blow to the younger junior brother.

In the side hall.

Ma Qian watched Cai Lu squat down and whisper something, as if to comfort Xiong Ying.

She whispered: "It is the concubine who knows the grandson best. No wonder she didn't come out until all the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace were sent away. It would be great if the grandson would cry..."

…

"How about we go see the Queen Mother? There are many things we can't understand, but the Queen Mother must have seen further than us. Moreover, we haven't gone to pay our respects to the Queen Mother for several days."

Since what happened.

The younger brother didn't dare and thought he had no face to see the master.

I want to see His Majesty, but I can't even get close to the Royal Study or Fengtian Palace.

In short, every time he asked to see his father, he was stopped by the people around him.

In fact, it was the father who didn't want to see his junior brother at this time.

After a while.

Xiongying rubbed his eyes randomly with his palms, raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, "You made a fool of yourself in front of senior sister."

Cai Lu couldn't help but smile.

"It's okay. I sent all the maids and eunuchs away. In front of my family, this isn't called making a fool of oneself, it's called showing one's true feelings."

Xiongying smiled, stood up, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Ma Qian's side hall.

Ma Qian squatted down with a swish.

But he was still seen by Xiongying and Cailu.

The corners of Xiongying's lips twitched.

Cai Lu covered her mouth and smiled softly, saying hello: "Sister, my grandson and I are going to the palace to pay our respects to our mother. Can we come together?"

Squeak...

The door opens.

Ma Qian blushed slightly and walked quickly with small steps. She glanced at Xiongying with a guilty conscience, then quickly lowered her head and whispered: "I didn't see anything..."

Hum!

Xiongying twitched the corner of his mouth and hummed: "You might as well not say anything at all, just adding more meaning..."

Before he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out.

Cai Lu smiled and whispered: "My grandson feels much better now that you say that. Let's go quickly."

Have it?

Ma Qian looked up suspiciously.

How did she feel that she was causing trouble for her grandson?

…

In the carriage entering the palace.

Ma Qian sat opposite Xiongying and Cailu.

Quietly look at Cai Lv.

She guessed that Cai Lu must have thought of something.

However, these words may not be appropriate for her to say.

Therefore, I want to use the mother's mouth to say it.

But how did Cai Lu know that what she wanted to tell her grandson had been thought of by her mother?

She was very sure that since the incident.

Cai Lu never went to see his mother.

…

Soon, the three heroes came to Kunning Palace.

Xiongying saw Mrs. Chang sewing a child's clothes in the pavilion in the courtyard with the help of biogas lights. She frowned slightly and said, "Mom, Wen Ji and Wen Yuan have so many clothes. Even if you love your grandson, there is no need to be so big." Do it at night, it hurts your eyes too much!”

Mrs. Chang glared angrily, "Who said Mom was sewing for Wenji and Wenyuan? This is for the fourth uncle's family, two little beans."

Xiongying suddenly realized.

The fourth uncle's family is known as the "Three Beans of the Zhu Family".

This is what Fourth Uncle said himself.

Soybean is the second brother Jindouzi.

The two little beans are Zhu Gaosui, the copper pea, and Zhu Gaosui, the silver bean.

The third brother Gao Sui is slightly two years older than his eldest son Wenyuan.

Several children are of similar age.

"Then there's no need to rush..." Xiongying's expression suddenly darkened.

Can the fourth uncle’s family leave Jinling in the future?

No.

It is even unclear whether he can keep his fourth uncle's family safe in the future if he risks his life.

Mrs. Chang smiled, lowered her head, and continued to sew. At the same time, she said: "If you don't hurry up, Mom is worried. When your fourth uncle left, Mom's clothes had not been sewn yet. If something like this happened, what would happen in the future?" It’s unknown if I can’t move around frequently…”

Xiongying suddenly raised his head.

With a face full of excitement, Mr. Chang didn't pay attention to what he said next, and asked eagerly: "Mom, did my father promise anything to you? Will he let Fourth Uncle and the others return to Yanhua?"

promise?

Chang's heart wry smile flashed away.

Immediately afterwards, he regained his composure and put down his needle and thread.

He patted the stone pier beside him and said, "Stop standing, sit down."

The three of them took their seats.

Xiongying looked at Mrs. Chang eagerly: "Mom, tell me quickly, what is going on?"

Mrs. Chang looked at the three children, and finally her eyes fell on Xiongying, and asked: "Why do you think of coming to see your mother now?"

Xiongying scratched his head and subconsciously looked at Cai Lu.

Chang didn't know where he was, it must have been his daughter-in-law's persuasion.

I was slightly surprised, but also very pleased.

She already understood that what she thought of, her daughter-in-law also thought of.

However, it was obviously more appropriate for her to say these words to Xiongying.

It was indeed taught by Miaoyun.

It is the hero's blessing that his hero can marry Cai Lu.

Fortunately, Xiongying also cherishes this girl.

That's good.

Ma Qian noticed the eye contact between Chang and Cai Lu, and became more sure of her previous judgment.

At the same time, I became more curious.

"Senior sister, did you know earlier what the Queen Mother wanted to say?" At this time, Xiongying also thought about it.

Cai Lu smiled and said, "No way, I just think that as an elder, my mother has more experience than us and may see things more clearly."

Mrs. Chang secretly smiled, her daughter-in-law was trying to save face for her son.

actually.

If it weren't for the embarrassing situation that Xiongying was caught in the middle, he would have no face to face the fourth child's self-blame.

According to Xiongying's intelligence, he should be able to guess something.

After all, when it comes to understanding Lao Si, there is not much difference between Xiongying and Cailu.

The reason why she guessed something.

It's because she knows little sister Miaoyun.

When they were young, they were good sisters and played together.

Later, he was brought into the palace by his mother, who took him with him and taught him personally.

She didn't believe it.

Your Majesty has been keeping Xu Xianchang under Laosi and Miaoyun for such a long time, but they didn't notice at all.

She believed it more.

The fourth couple was just following the current and testing the emperor.

It was giving the emperor a chance to choose.

It's just that the emperor chose a choice that many people couldn't accept.

If you follow this line of deduction, you can deduce a lot of things.

Immediately, Chang told Xiongying these judgments.

"So, mother never thought that your father could follow his plan to the end and destroy your fourth uncle's Yanhua."

…

"Mother has not left the palace for the past two days. I also heard that the public opinion outside is very unfavorable to your father."

"The reputation of benevolence, righteousness, and virtuousness that he built up bit by bit when he was the crown prince was all lost in one day, and his golden body was shattered!"

…

"Your fourth uncle, I gave your father the opportunity to choose. After your father chose to expose Xu Xianchang, he smashed your father's golden body."

"Is he doing this to plot the Ming Dynasty?"

Xiongying shook his head almost subconsciously, "It's impossible. Grandfather Huang told me that Grandpa Huang once mentioned to his fourth uncle that he wanted him to come back..."

Chang's expression changed.

There are people outside who speculate that in his later years, the emperor's father was tempted by Yi Chu.

But I didn't expect that my father would mention it directly to the fourth child.

She didn't mind that.

but……

Mrs. Chang hurriedly and solemnly warned the three of them: "You three are rotting in your stomachs about this matter, Xiongying. You are not allowed to tell anyone in the future!"

If this is the case, let the emperor know.

The emperor would probably be even more irritated.

Not sure what to do.

Xiongying also realized that the ups and downs of his emotions had caused his thinking to be too chaotic and he had lost his previous stability.

Then, he said distressedly: "Mom, my fourth uncle has been wronged like this for the child. The child... is even more shameless to see his fourth uncle."

Mrs. Chang glared, "If an elder does something for the junior he loves, will he want you to repay him?"

"In your heart, your fourth uncle is better than your father. Why doesn't your fourth uncle regard you as his own child? What parents do for their children, they don't want you to repay. If you don't go at this time, you have no conscience. It’s not my mother’s child. I can’t give birth to a child with no conscience and no courage like you!”

"Tomorrow, your family of three and two children will go to the Huitong Hall to visit your fourth uncle and fourth aunt. It doesn't matter how many days you stay."

…

The next day.

Just when Xiongying took his family to Huitong Hall.

In the name of visiting.

Ye Kai stopped at Ryukyu and waited for news.

Finally, Captain Yang Wang arrived with the news.

Woo woo woo...

Ryukyu Pier.

The whistle sounded in unison.

Ye Kai's face was ashen as he stood at the bow of the flagship.

Looking at the captains and staff of the ships standing in array in front of him, he loudly said: "The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is ungrateful! The villain Xu Xianchang, for so many years, has never forgotten the cliche of honor and humbleness. He has always wanted to be a master. , everyone is equal, he feels uncomfortable, this villain has betrayed the prince and our Yanhua! "

"He also regards the sixteen armored ships and sixteen steam-powered supply ships built by Yanhua with the people's fat and money as the capital for his promotion."

"Now, this little man finally got his wish and became the loyal and brave Duke of the Ming Dynasty."

…

"Now, the prince and princess are all imprisoned in Jinling City."

"Tell me what to do!"

"Fight back!"

"Bombard Jinling!"

"Bombard the palace! Rescue the prince!"

…

A group of young and passionate generals suddenly had their eyes blazing and shouted angrily.

"very good!"

Ye Kai nodded with satisfaction and immediately ordered: "Captains of each ship, immediately return to their respective ships. If there is any obstruction in the inland canal from Songjiangkou to Jinling City, use our cannons to tell those ungrateful people to imprison them." The fate of the prince and princess!"

"Set off!"

despair!

"yes!"

The uniform sound of standing at attention and the sound of taking orders sounded at the same time.

Generals at all levels raised their hands in salute and then took action.

After the signal whistles of varying lengths sounded.

Eight of the latest generation, Duke-class battleships, and sixteen steam-powered supply ships rushed out of Ryukyu Pier in a mighty manner.

The King of Ryukyu who saw him off, his subjects, broke into a cold sweat as he watched.

The King of Ryukyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered: "The Emperor is in trouble!"

He couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking.

He looked at it as a spectator.

Over the years, King Yanhua of Yanhua has been really good to Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else.

No personal experience, no right to speak.

Let’s talk about Ryukyu.

As a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

And it happens to be stuck between Yanhua, Xufu and the mainland.

these years.

Ryukyu relies on its geographical advantage. It is true that the little hen is crowned with a phoenix, and the grass chicken has become a phoenix.

So rich!

Ryukyu is in such an important position for Yanhua in terms of military, politics and economy.

Logically speaking, Yanhua does not want to annex Ryukyu.

At least, we should win over Ryukyu politically and even station troops there, right?

Does he know that Yanhua is in the far west and just buys an island?

He also wanted to get closer to Yanhua.

I hope Ryukyu’s current prosperity will not become a flash in the pan.

Zeng secretly sent his confidants to Yanjing to tell King Yan that Ryukyu was willing to sell an island to Yanhua to ensure a closer connection between Yanhua mainland and Xufu Province.

Actually, if you can.

It would be no problem for Ryukyu to seek refuge with Yanhua.

But at that time, King Yan did not accept his kindness.

It is clearly informed that Ryukyu is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

Yanhua didn't want to be separated from Daming because of this.

I just hope that Ryukyu can ensure that Yanhua's merchant ships can dock for supplies, and that naval ships can temporarily apply for docking if they encounter bad weather or ship malfunctions.

Look!

This is what happened to King Yan.

He really couldn't understand why the new emperor wanted to target King Yan.

It's okay now.

A more advanced warship rushed towards Jinling City.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will probably face the roar of cannons.

General Ye Kai temporarily docked at the dock. He was invited to visit eight new ships in person.

So advanced!

…

Half a day later.

It's approaching noon.

Songjiangkou.

Toot toot…

"Enemy attack!"

"Yanhua Navy!"

"Quick! Quick, board the ship quickly, all warships leave the harbor and block the Yanhua Navy!"

…

The entire Songjiangkou division camp was in chaos.

The navy soldiers, urged by the generals waving their whips, boarded the warship.

Inside the animal powered cabin.

Two cows were pulling in circles as hard as they could.

The warship slowly sailed towards the entrance to the sea.

The soldiers stood on the ship, looking confusedly at the fleet with billowing smoke in the distance.

Discussing quietly.

"What a huge battleship, at least twice as big as sixteen armored ships!"

"Didn't you say that all of King Yanhua's naval warships, except for the supply ships, have been controlled by the traitor Xu Xianchang?"

"Hmph! Why does King Yan only have one fleet? This must be a trump card. Look, we have done something ungrateful here, and retribution is coming!"

…

Yu Tongyuan retired.

Although Zhu Biao diverted all the main force and senior generals of the Songjiangkou Division to several other fleets.

Or, simply let the navy generals go to the army to lead the troops.

It can be said that the Chaohu system in Songjiangkou, the main force of the navy, has been cleaned up.

But the ordinary soldiers below.

His feelings for Yanhua Navy have not changed.

Zhu Biao is not unclear about this situation.

But there was nothing he could do.

You can't, just replace the ordinary soldiers below.

Then, this naval force is left with nothing but an empty frame.

soon.

The eight Duke-class battleships commanded by Ye Kai were at the mouth of the sea, facing off against the Ming Navy from afar.

The Ming Dynasty Navy has already sent people to Jinling, eight hundred miles away to send an urgent warning.

And Songjiangkou.

This is the entrance to the sea for Jinling trade.

At this moment, all maritime merchants who want to enter the inland waterways are also crowded nearby.

Countless merchants and crewmen looked at the two sides confronting each other in fear.

Ye Kai stood at the bow of the flagship, holding a telescope and observing the Songjiangkou Division. He shook his head and sneered: "Songjiangkou Division, compared to the period of Yu Tong's rule, the combat effectiveness has not dropped at all."

A general joked: "This is the inevitable result of the new emperor deposing Yu and purging the Chaohu Clique that has good relations with us."

Ye Kai lowered the telescope, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "After all, ordinary navy officers and our Yanhua Navy have also trained in the open sea, drank together, and approached step by step in front of the naval formation. Three rounds of Rapid fire intimidation! If the navy doesn't move out of the way, we will have no choice but to attack."

Anyway, here goes the trip.

Stand firmly in the way.

They are all enemies of Yanhua!

Woo woo woo...

The messenger whistle sounded rhythmically.

At some point.

Boom boom…

The flagship fired first.

Immediately, the other seven warships, with a total of more than 400 artillery pieces, fired at the same time.

The war artillery fire between Yanhua and Ming Dynasty.

It’s played!
