I opened the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 179 Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao

The man in black took a step forward, and the heavy footsteps were particularly clear in the silence.

He paused and continued, "The secret organization you are investigating, the mastermind behind it..."

Having said this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes revealing a hint of fear and hesitation.

My heart tightened instantly, and I asked anxiously, "Who is it?"

The man in black took a deep breath, as if gathering up his courage, and then slowly uttered a few words: "Yes, it is the most trusted minister of the current emperor. He, he has been secretly manipulating all this, trying to overthrow the government and proclaim himself emperor!"

"Yao Guangxiao? Or Zheng He?"

After hearing the stuttering of the man in black, I couldn't help but blurt out two names!

After all, in my understanding of traveling through time and space, the two super-bigwigs that my father-in-law, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, relied on and trusted the most were Yao Guangxiao and Zheng He!

Yao Guangxiao, the imperial teacher of the time! This wise and resourceful monk played a key role in Zhu Di's conquest of the world.

He was far-sighted and could analyze the situation accurately. At the beginning of Zhu Di's uprising, the forces of all parties were complicated and the situation was unclear.

Yao Guangxiao carefully studied the movements of various forces, the deployment of troops, and the public opinion. He accurately judged the weaknesses of the imperial army and the advantages of Zhu Di, and formulated a strategic policy for Zhu Di to break through with local advantages and gradually expand the sphere of influence.

When Zhu Di was hesitant, Yao Guangxiao always strengthened his determination. When Zhu Di was hesitant about starting a rebellion and worried about the consequences of failure, Yao Guangxiao encouraged Zhu Di with his unique insights and firm beliefs.

He explained the general situation of the world to Zhu Di, analyzed the possibility of success, and used many successful uprisings in history as examples to make Zhu Di understand that now was the best time to seize the world.

Yao Guangxiao was not only able to make plans behind the scenes, but also to step forward at critical moments. During the planning stage of the war, Yao Guangxiao often talked with Zhu Di all night long to develop detailed battle plans for each battle.

He cleverly arranged tactics based on factors such as the strength of the enemy and our side and the terrain, enabling Zhu Di's army to defeat the larger force with fewer troops in many battles and achieve key victories.

During the battle, when Zhu Di's army suffered setbacks and morale was low, Yao Guangxiao personally went to the front line to analyze the situation for the soldiers and emphasized the inevitability of victory.

With his passionate words and firm belief, he reignited the soldiers' fighting spirit, stabilized the military morale, and laid the foundation for subsequent victories.

His wisdom and strategy were like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating the smooth road for Zhu Di to seize the throne!

Zheng He was like a shining star in the court, attracting much attention.

His mastery of court etiquette is amazing!

From the cumbersome court rituals to daily court interactions, he knew every detail.

Whether receiving foreign envoys or arranging a palace banquet, Zheng He was able to arrange it in an appropriate and decent manner, making each event demonstrate the royal majesty and style.

Zheng He was well-known for his thoughtful and meticulous work. Although the palace affairs were numerous and complicated, he was always able to sort them out in an orderly manner.

From the purchase and distribution of daily necessities to the repair and maintenance of the palace, he personally took care of every detail to ensure that there were no mistakes in every link and handled various affairs in the palace in an orderly manner.

In addition, Zheng He was smart and brave. When faced with emergencies and difficult problems, he could always respond quickly and deal with them calmly.

He has excellent organizational and coordination skills, and can effectively mobilize resources from all parties and unite the strength of the people.

Whenever Zhu Di needed someone to deal with some difficult internal affairs, Zheng He always stepped forward.

With his keen insight and decisive decision-making ability, he quickly finds the key to the problem and develops practical solutions.

Moreover, he was extremely efficient in carrying out his tasks and always completed them successfully within the specified time or even ahead of schedule, never letting Zhu Di down!

His loyalty and steadiness earned Zhu Di's trust. No matter what kind of temptation or pressure he faced, Zheng He always remained loyal to Zhu Di and never betrayed him.

His steady character made Zhu Di feel at ease to entrust important matters to him, and he never let down this trust, becoming Zhu Di's indispensable and capable assistant in court affairs.

Because of this, Yao Guangxiao and Zheng He became the people Zhu Di relied on and trusted the most.

When this shout came out of my mouth, it was like a bolt from the blue, and immediately everyone present was shocked and speechless.

Yueying's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "How is it possible? They are usually polite and loyal, how could they do such a treasonous thing?"

The man in black sneered, "This is just his disguise. On the surface, he is loyal to His Majesty, but secretly he is colluding with various forces, training assassins, and planning this shocking conspiracy."

I frowned, trying to digest this shocking news: "So do they have any specific plans?"

The man in black was silent for a moment, as if recalling something, and then he said, "As far as I know, he plans to take action when the emperor goes out of the palace tomorrow to pay tribute to the heroes who founded the Ming Dynasty. The emperor, thinking of the outstanding contributions of the founding heroes, decided to go to the Heroes Shrine to hold a grand sacrifice to show respect and remembrance. The traitor saw this opportunity and wanted to control the defense of the capital first, and then force the emperor to abdicate and usurp the throne."

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

Xueqi's face turned pale: "Then we must inform His Majesty as soon as possible and strengthen our defenses."

The man in black shook his head: "It's too late. They will take action tomorrow."

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and fear and tension spread in everyone's heart.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly shook, and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He said with difficulty: "I... I was discovered by them and poisoned... If I can bring the news to you, I... will die without regrets." After saying that, he fell to the ground with a bang.

Everyone was in a panic, but I knew that a life-and-death battle was about to begin...

We looked at the dead man in black lying on the ground, and we were all shocked and at a loss for what to do. I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself down, and said loudly: "Don't panic! We have to find a way to deal with it quickly!"

Yueying tightly grasped my arm, her eyes full of anxiety, and cried out in a tender voice: "Husband, what should I do?"

I frowned, my brain working rapidly, and after thinking for a moment, I said, "Don't panic, let's go back to the mansion and discuss it carefully."

When I returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion, I quickly gathered all fourteen beautiful wives together.

Chunhua was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body trembled. She said in a trembling voice: "Oh my God, husband, what should we do? Are we just going to watch those two treacherous ministers succeed in their conspiracy? I'm scared, husband, please protect me." As she spoke, she deliberately twisted her slender waist to show her graceful figure.

Xiaoling was so anxious that she stamped her feet and cried out coquettishly, "No, husband, we have to find a way to stop them! Look how anxious I am, my heart is about to jump out of my chest, husband, please think of a solution quickly." As she spoke, she puffed out her plump chest, but accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and almost fell.

My sister blinked her big watery eyes and said in a tender voice, "Brother Xiangtian, how about we send someone to notify the other loyal ministers? People are discussing with you so gently, you must listen." As she spoke, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her long beautiful legs, but she tripped over the chair next to her and stumbled into my arms.

The princess shook her head, her expression solemn, and twisted her waist and said, "It's too late. The two treacherous officials will take action tomorrow. We have to find a solution on our own."

Niu Lili stepped forward at this time, twisting her sexy hips, and said: "Husband, how about we rush directly into the palace to protect the emperor? I'm not afraid. With my husband by my side, I dare to do anything."

I glared at her and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense. We must have a thorough plan and not act rashly."

Xi Shi opened her red lips and said softly, "My dear husband, I think we can first try to find out the specific deployment of the two treacherous ministers. My graceful figure depends entirely on your protection." As she spoke, she slightly turned sideways, showing off her graceful curves.

Diao Chan also nodded and agreed coquettishly, "Yes, Brother Xiangtian, only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Brother, look at my charming appearance, you must not let me suffer any grievances." As she spoke, she gently stroked her hair.

Qingzhao pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and said tenderly: "But how can we know their detailed deployment? I am so worried, my husband must be distressed."

At this time, Lu Xiaofeng stood up and said crisply: "Husband, let me go to get some information. I am very good at lightness skills and it is not easy to be discovered. Husband, look at my posture, I can definitely complete the task." After saying that, he turned around lightly.

Chu Liuxiang was not to be outdone, and said coquettishly, "I'll go too, Brother Xiangtian. One more person means more strength. Brother, don't forget about me. I'm doing this wholeheartedly for you." As she spoke, she approached me, her body swaying.

I nodded and reminded him, "Okay, be careful."

At this moment, Yueying, who was always calm, couldn't help but say, "My husband, I think we still need to consider how to deal with the various variables that may arise." As Yueying spoke, she moved her lotus steps lightly, her figure graceful and moving.

The lively Xueqi frowned and said, "Then we must quickly find a way to inform the emperor to change the route of the sacrifice."

I shook my head and calmly analyzed: "No, this will alert the enemy and make them act in advance."

The straightforward concubine said, "My Lord, how about we arrange our own people in the palace just in case."

The clever Gege continued, "Yes, or we can set a trap on the sacrificial route in advance."

Chang'e, who was always gentle, said worriedly: "Husband, if anything goes wrong with the emperor, we will have no good days. I am so weak, it all depends on you." As she spoke, she swayed her waist gently.

Li Lili bit her lip and said firmly: "We must not let the two treacherous ministers succeed in their scheme. Husband, I will always be with you." At the same time, she deliberately puffed out her chest.

After a few hours, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang came back.

Lu Xiaofeng ran out of breath and said anxiously: "Husband, it's bad. Those two treacherous officials have arranged many people in various places in the capital, and they have also bribed many imperial guards."

Chu Liuxiang continued, "They plan to attack the emperor on his way to offer sacrifices, and then take control of the palace during the chaos."

I clenched my fists, glared at them, and cursed, "These two crazy guys!"

Yueying said, "Husband, what should we do then?"

I thought for a moment, then said calmly and methodically: "We need to divide our forces into several groups to deal with this crisis. Chunhua, Xiaoling, and Feimei, quickly gather the servants in our house. Not only should you prepare all kinds of sophisticated weapons, but you should also check whether the weapons are intact and usable. In addition, organize the servants to conduct drills and make sure they obey orders during the action. There must not be any confusion!"

At this time, Chunhua nodded slightly, raised her breasts that were about to burst out, and twisted her waist slightly, showing her graceful posture; Xiaoling put her hands on her hips, her hips were surging, and she responded confidently: "Don't worry, husband!"

Mei Fei glanced at me coquettishly, bit her lips lightly, her fullness on her breasts surged with her breathing, and turned around to carry out her mission.

"Gege, Niu Lili, Xishi, you are responsible for contacting those ministers who are on good terms with me and are reliable and loyal. Tell them the urgency of the situation, and ask them to gather their trusted followers and make emergency preparations. At the same time, tell them to act carefully and not let the news leak out!"

The princess bowed gracefully, her graceful figure was fascinating, and her eyes were firm; Niu Lili twisted her sexy breasts and hips, and said confidently: "I will definitely live up to my husband's mission!"

Xi Shi flicked her sleeves, her delicate body trembling slightly, and said softly, "Husband, don't worry."

"Diao Chan, Qingzhao, Chang'e, the three of you go to the storehouse to select precious medicinal materials and prepare some antidotes. Remember, prepare several antidotes with different effects to prevent the enemy from using various insidious poisons."

Diao Chan moved lightly, her figure swaying, her towering breasts attracting attention; Qingzhao frowned slightly, her tenderness revealed determination, her hips swaying with a different kind of charm; Chang'e nodded and smiled, her voluptuous figure exuding charming charm, and responded: "I know, husband."

"Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, Li Lili, follow me to the road that must be taken for the sacrifice and ambush. We must carefully survey the terrain, find the best hiding place, act according to circumstances, and be ready to deal with any possible situation at any time!"

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were lively, her body swayed slightly, and her full breasts were faintly visible; Chu Liuxiang's eyes were seductive, her hips were raised, and she said in a tender voice: "Yes, husband."; Li Lili smiled, raised her chest and head, and said confidently: "Husband, I will follow you closely!"

"We live in Anle Palace and have our own Jinyiwei Imperial Guards. We must fully mobilize their forces for this operation. Those who are responsible for contacting ministers must be escorted by the Imperial Guards to ensure safety; those who prepare antidotes must have the Imperial Guards help carry the herbs; and those who summon the servants also need the Imperial Guards to help maintain order."

"My dears! Do you understand?"

The wives nodded one after another and quickly acted according to the arrangements...
