"I didn't think she was a prisoner!" Wu Zheng argued, "I was just protecting her... from letting those sluts make trouble in her name!"

Zhu Chenyu did not refute and continued: "...Mr. Wozi came up with an idea at that time to help the eldest princess restore the throne in exchange for the support of the eldest princess for the reinvigorating that person... Brother should know that the eldest princess was hidden in Jiangnan at that time."

Wu Zheng nodded. Although he exiled Zhu Yihai and other people in the Ming Dynasty to Chenqianshan Island, after Zhu Mei was taken to Hangzhou Prefecture by himself, people who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the Jiangnan area were also quietly gathering towards Hangzhou Prefecture.

The reason why they didn't take action was because those people did not have specific actions.

Later, because the war started again, Wu Zheng could not be distracted, so he let it go.

"She... agreed?" Wu Zheng asked coldly.

"Yes... the eldest princess agreed!" Zhu Chenyu nodded, "but the eldest princess proposed another idea, that is, let Zhou Simin and I participate in this matter together!"

"What does she want to do?"

"I didn't understand at that time... I thought Zhou Simin knew it early in the morning." Zhu Chenyu thought, "That's it. This game has gradually turned into a coup from the beginning... Because the eldest princess said that no matter who advised her brother, it was useless. Mo Zhinian was the most trusted person of his brother, and the Mo family daughter was the concubine of the princess... If one day, the Mo family daughter gave birth to a child, no one could shake Mo Zhinian anymore...!"

Wu Zheng said angrily: "So you are willing to be her accomplices?"

Zhu Chenyu was interrupted and she sighed softly, "I originally doubted the purpose of the eldest princess, but in the end it turned out... the eldest princess is really planning the overall situation for her brother!"

"The overall situation? For me?" Wu Zheng sneered, "Take the entire Jiangnan as her chessboard, and tens of thousands of dead people become her chess pieces...even including Zhu Yihai and Zheng Sen?"

"Brother, please let me speak slowly."

"Okay...you say that." Wu Zheng took the lead and said with his head raised slightly.

"The eldest princess said at that time that to overthrow the Mo family, there must be real evidence. To obtain real evidence, we must lure Mo Zhinian to take the initiative... But at that time, my brother was in power, and there was no one who could lure Mo Zhinian to reveal his true form except the emperor."

"You believe it... cough... you continue talking!" Wu Zheng coughed dryly.

"I didn't believe it!" Zhu Chenyu said seriously, "Until the eldest princess sent Zhou Simin to come to me...I believed it after talking for a night!"

"What did Zhou Simin say to you?"

"The eldest princess believes that the reason why my brother has not continued to take a step forward is that he cannot get the support of the current aristocratic families, gentry, wealthy families and even many literati students in the world. This is unchangeable for my brother, because there are so many benefits in the world. If he gives it to others, he cannot give it to them... Even my brother needs to grab a share from their original vested interests, which makes it even less likely to get the support of these people."

Wu Zheng was silent, but he agreed with Zhu Mai's statement in his heart, which was the real reason why he was afraid of.

Whether it is reform or revolution, the rise of a new force must be to suppress the vested forces and then support the original oppressed forces, thereby gaining support from the oppressed forces. This is beyond refutation.

But the problem is that the people, land, wealth, and even the right to speak in this era are all in the hands of vested forces. With only Wu Zheng or a few staff members who follow Wu Zheng, their strength is far less than that of those groups.

Of course, there is a way to achieve immediate results - killing people!

As long as you swing your sword to slash at every dissident, the world will be peaceful in an instant.

But everyone knows that it is just a short-term "peace". If suppression and massacre are really useful, then dynasties will not change, and this has been the case for thousands of years!

Wu Zheng never had this idea because he knew how to hate this thing.

In order to achieve temporary peace and sow the seeds of chaos, this is not a cost-effective transaction.

Maybe you can act as a deterrent when you are alive, but one generation or two generations later?

"What else did she... ask Zhou Simin to say to you?"

"The eldest princess said that her restoration will definitely be followed by countless people loyal to the Ming Dynasty... Once a certain strength is formed, Mo obsessed with his brother has been suppressed, he may have a strange ambition... This is the best way to lead a snake out of the hole!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Chenyu paused and glanced at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng said, "What's there...but it's okay!"

Zhu Chenyu sighed, "After that night, I went to the West Lake with Zhou Simin and met the eldest princess... She said that another reason why my brother did not take the last step was that my brother had no foundation... Once he became emperor, countless people would attack him. At that time, even if my brother had military power in his hands, the world would still be in chaos!"

Wu Zheng was silent, and this was indeed reasonable.

There are only two ways to convince people. One is to convince orally, and the other is to convince!

Perhaps choosing to surrender under a strong military force is also dissatisfied.

The only difference between being a powerful minister and becoming an emperor is that there is one biggest difference between the two.

Between powerful ministers and opponents, they are ministers in the same dynasty.

But if you become emperor, even the opponents will become your subjects. Who would be happy?

This is why Cao Cao had obviously controlled the palace ban but the court could not be called emperor.

Wu Zheng, so too.

Zhu Chenyu continued: "The eldest princess said that she has this righteousness... As long as she ascends the throne, she lures Mo Guaninian into appearing, and then abdicates her brother in the name of the emperor, then her brother's opponents will have no excuse to attack her brother!"

Wu Zheng heard this and was shocked. What happened?

This is indeed the simplest and most effective method. Wu Zheng once thought that this is also the reason why he deposed and supported him twice.

But this method has a natural flaw, that is, who is willing to give up easily to others by those who ascend to the throne?

Zhu Yihai is like this, Zhu Cilang is like this, and Zhu Ma is afraid of this.

It was precisely this kind of consideration that Wu Zheng finally chose to give up this method, but now, Wu Zheng was indeed shocked when he said Zhu Chenyu's idea from Zhu Chenyu.

"Why... she chose to let you ascend the throne in the end?" Wu Zheng looked at Zhu Chenyu, "Don't tell me, your own idea is your own way of ascending the throne!"

Zhu Chenyu did not answer. She slowly turned around, glanced at Wenhua Palace, and finally stopped. Facing Wu Zheng, she said: "The eldest princess never mentioned letting me ascend the throne at first, let alone that she would collapse in this palace!"

"I have never understood why she chose to die..." Zhu Chenyu said leisurely, "I believe my brother's explanation, but I still can't understand her thoughts... If she really intends to kill her brother, how could she arrange for me to ascend the throne in the end... She clearly knew that I could not be against my brother for this absurd throne!"
