Why did the emperor rebel?

The atmosphere in the flower hall was a bit gloomy.

What Zhu Yinxuan said was reasonable and reasonable, but it was obviously not what they wanted.

Seeing this situation, King Zhou narrowed his eyes and said.

"Then what do you mean by letting His Majesty decide?"

"Of course there is something that should be decided, so I ask His Majesty to make the decision!"

Zhu Yinxuan opened his mouth and said.

"The matter of the military colony is a foregone conclusion. You gathered here today. I don't think you intend to take back the land that the court has clarified, right?"

This……

The people below looked at each other for a while.

They originally had such a sliver of hope, but when Zhu Yinyu asked, they didn't dare to nod.

Because, the truth is the same.

They are unwilling to spit out what they eat, so now, how can the court return the land they have taken back to them?

Unless it is really against the court, otherwise, these fields will not be able to get back.

After all, they just can't swallow this breath now.

So, after pondering for a moment, Yi Wang said.

"It should belong to the imperial court. Naturally, we will not be greedy for ink. The reason why we are dissatisfied with this matter is nothing more than the fact that the ministers in the court have ulterior motives, deceive the emperor, separate the family members of the heavenly family, and use cruel methods to commit the crime of bullying the clan. Just asking for justice."

Saying this, it means that King Yi agrees with Zhu Yinxuan's opinion.

However, the other kings still hesitated.

It is of course important to vent your anger, but just venting, I always feel a little sorry for their visit.

At this time, Zhou Wang said.

"It's reasonable. When I entered the palace yesterday, what this king said to His Majesty also meant the same thing. At that time, Your Majesty said that the clan is the vassal of the country. Since it protects the country for the country, naturally the clan will not be wronged. "

Well, this attitude is clear.

To put it bluntly, the emperor can save some face for them, but, again, don't even think about taking out things that have already entered the pockets of the court.

The hopes were completely shattered, and the faces of the several feudal lords present could not help but feel a little disappointed.

However, seeing this situation, Zhu Yinxuan on the side hesitated to speak.

"Everyone, I think the most urgent task at the moment is to go up to your majesty to correct the atmosphere of the court. This time to rectify the army, the local officials, the Kedao Yushi, were instructed by Yu Qian and others, regardless of the superiority and inferiority. A person who is slaughtered by others."

"It is precisely because of this that the Ministry of Rites is now reforming the religious affairs. Therefore, as long as this trend is broken and the court officials know the order of respect and order, everything will return to normal."

There was nothing special about these words, but Zhu Yinyu spoke very slowly. Even the dullest person can realize that there is something in these words.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, King Lu asked.

"Back to normal?"

Zhu Yinxuan nodded lightly, and repeated it again.

"Back to normal!"

Those four simple words caught everyone's eyes.

The biggest pressure they are facing now actually comes from the tough attitude of the imperial court. Although the vassal king has a noble status, it also depends on who he is dealing with. In front of the huge state machine, even the vassal king has to be honest.

What's more, compared with the vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty, very little power has been stripped from their hands now.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that they value the land, property and status in their hands more.

To put it simply, the emperor is behind the court, and the emperor is firm in the matter of rectifying the army.

Because of this, whether it is the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, or the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or even the local officials, they are very confident.

Therefore, what is more serious than losing a little land is that Yu Qian used many methods that should not be used to rectify the army this time.

Moreover, these methods are useful, so the Ministry of Rites will carry out the reform of religious affairs at this time. If the kings still do not respond, then there may be some way to make progress in the future.

From this point of view, Zhu Yinyu's words really hit the nail on the head.

What they have to do now is to re-establish the authority of the clan and vassals in the court, so that these civil servants will not dare to think about them casually.

More importantly, when the imperial court passed, there were various prohibitions against the vassal kings, but most of them were useless. What is the reason?
Because although the vassal kings can't fight against the court, what they are facing is not the court as a whole.

It is very rare and unlikely that there are ministers of the Seven Ministers like Qian who hold imperial edicts to govern various places.

Therefore, most of the time, the vassal kings faced local officials, and the largest official position was only at the governor level.

Although this group of people is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, they have to bow their heads under the eaves. Even if the vassal kings are not deeply rooted in the fief, at least they are considered local snakes.

Therefore, these local officials, in most cases, are not willing to provoke them. Of course, even if they want to provoke them, these officials do not have enough power in their hands.

However, Yu Qian's tour this time has set an example for officials everywhere, that is, although they can't do anything to the vassal king, they can be unscrupulous towards people other than the vassal king.

In addition, they do not directly provoke the feudal lords, but, under the banner of the imperial court, arresting people and robbing land, when it comes to specific matters, is also rampant.

So what they really want to deter is actually these local officials. They want to let them know that there is no good fruit for angering the vassal kings.

As long as they remain in awe and fear of the vassal king, then there is always a way to get back what is lost now.

After all, they've done it before.

Thinking about it this way, the kings finally had some comfort, cheered up again, and said Ning Wang.

"That's the case, but what should I do? Is it possible to just make trouble before His Majesty?"

This question is obviously a rhetorical question, but what is surprising is that after hearing this, Zhu Yinyu nodded seriously and said.

"Why not?"

This……

King Ning was speechless for a while, not knowing how to react.

Didn't you say it yourself, wouldn't it be unreasonable to make trouble in front of His Majesty?

Why is this happening, and why not say it righteously, let you say all the irony?
King Ning was depressed for a while, but King Lu frowned and thought for a moment, and said.

"Well said, why not?"

"Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to seek an audience, and sue Your Majesty for the crime of contemptuousness and inferiority committed by the officials in the court. Let's see if Your Majesty decides for us."

While speaking, King Lu's eyes fell on King Zhou who was beside him, and asked.

"What do you think?"

"Listen to Brother Wang!"

King Zhou pondered for a moment, then nodded, and after finishing speaking, he looked sideways at Zhu Yinxuan and said.

"Turning back, I will write a memorial. You can take it back and let your father have a look. As usual, when I wait for the memorial, I always have to go through the clan's residence."

"understand……"

Zhu Yinxuan nodded, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything after all.

…………

Minwang Mansion.

Zhu Huixun was reclining on the couch, holding a memorandum in his hand, frowning and scanning line by line. Opposite him, Zhu Yinxun was sitting in a well-behaved manner.

After a while, seeing Zhu Huixun put down the memorial, Zhu Yinxun asked.

"Father, do you want to accompany this memorial?"

"Of course it is."

Zhu Huixun looked up at Zhu Yinxuan, and said calmly.

"That old fellow King Zhou, he called you over, isn't that what he was thinking about?"

While talking, Zhu Huixun seemed to have thought of something, shook his head and said.

"So, compared to Zhou Wang, Yi Wang and the others are nothing but idiots, and they still want to exclude me and Dai Wang."

"They don't even think about it. When the vassal king enters the capital, the government and the public will pay attention to it, and they will gather together to secretly discuss it so blatantly, and if it gets out, what will be the consequences..."

Zhu Huixun knew that these people didn't want him to go to today's discussion among the kings, so he didn't want to go at all.

But there was no way, King Zhou came to the door and begged Zhu Yinyu away. As King Zhou, even if he opened his mouth, he couldn't do anything.

No one in the ruling and opposition parties is a fool. No one would believe that so many feudal lords gathered in the capital just because of the reason of visiting relatives based on religious studies.

So, why did they come here, just use your brain a little bit, you can figure it out.

In this case, their secretive behavior is tantamount to deceiving their ears and stealing their bells, making people laugh.

On the contrary, what King Zhou did was the smartest.

Zhu Huixun was the order of the clan, and logically speaking, the clan was wronged, and it was justifiable for him to come forward to uphold justice and negotiate with the emperor.

These people were afraid that he and Dai Wang took the initiative to donate the land in the mansion at the beginning, and they were afraid that he would speak to the emperor, so they deliberately chose such a time, which seems clever, but in fact, who can be deceived by this trick Woolen cloth?

Even, as Zhu Huixun said, they deliberately kept a low profile and excluded Zhu Huixun, but instead gave people opportunities for people with ulterior motives to make a fuss about.

The vassal king's identity is already sensitive. According to the ancestral system, it is actually a violation of the system for them to enter Beijing together. People have lived comfortably for a long time, and they don't know how much they weigh.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yinyu nodded lightly, with a look of coldness on his face, and said.

"I'm afraid it was that Prince Xiang's idea again. This person really disgraced my clan. I don't know how he encouraged Prince Yi to set up such a situation..."

So, Zhu Huixun slowly sat up straight and said.

"The two of them have been confined for so long in the ten princes' mansion. It's not surprising that they have some friendship, but Zhou Wang, this person is difficult to deal with, so be careful."

Compared with Yi Wang, who is a no-brainer, it is obvious that Zhou Wang is the one who is more thoughtful.

In fact, for Zhu Huixun, it would be a good thing not to invite him to this kind of gathering.

Even if he doesn't mention the risk of being criticized by others, in his capacity, if it comes, his attitude will be very difficult.

His patriarchal decree is not just a simple matter of governing the clan's affairs. If the clan's interests are damaged, he will naturally have to make a statement.

This is no longer a category of being unreasonable, but these vassal kings are simmering in their hearts, and they need to vent.

At this time, Zhu Huixun, as the patriarchal order, had to stand with them, otherwise, the fire would be spread on him.

Don't think that the vassal kings have no right to speak. The most important reason why King Xiang resigned was actually because the students of Zongxue made trouble every day and moved out the elders of each family.

If the patriarchal decree can't convince the crowd, then of course he has to be replaced.

Unanimous consent!

This is not the time to be reasonable at all. At this moment, the position is far more important than reason.

It is His Majesty's prerogative to be in the center and to be impartial, not his.

Therefore, Zhu Huixunman pointed out that it would be better for them to abandon themselves from the beginning to the end. When they make trouble in the palace and have troubles, they will come out to finish it by themselves. There is no risk and they will gain a good reputation. Why not for?
Unfortunately, not everyone is so easy to fool.

At least the King of Zhou was not, and his intention to bring Zhu Yinyuan over was quite obvious.

First, he said that he and others were frank and frank, and that they had not plotted anything shady. For the vassal, loyalty to the court was the major premise of everything.

The presence of Zhu Yinxuan is equivalent to the presence of Zhu Huixun, and the presence of Zhu Huixun is equivalent to the presence of the court. Even if it is spread, it may be said that it is provoking the court, but at least it will not be accused of other crimes .

The second is to drag him into trouble.

Yes, make trouble!

Yu Qian has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has his own way of being an official, just like Zhu Yinyu refuted the words of Yi Wang and others today.

Among the various fiefdoms, Yu Qian seems to be open and closed, but in fact there is a basis for everything, and he will act after making a decision.

Every step he took to persecute the vassal king must have sufficient evidence in his hands.

Therefore, if you want to rely on reasoning, these vassal kings must be wrong.

So, what they have to do is actually make trouble!
Although, under Zhu Yinyu's suggestion, they changed their direction and focused on the crimes of local officials disrespecting the vassal, arresting people in the palace beyond their authority, assaulting the king, and contempt of the clan.

However, it was just an excuse that seemed to be tenable for their troubles.

In essence, they are still taking revenge, or in other words, called Liwei.

That being the case, naturally, the more people, the better.

Sitting up from the couch, Zhu Huixun walked slowly to the desk beside him, and Zhu Yinxuan followed behind. Seeing this, the maid at the side hurried forward to grind ink.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhu Huixun placed the memorial on the table, spread it out gently, and said.

"Prince Xiang and King Yi were severely imprisoned by the emperor, so they lost their courage and acted too petty."

"We, the vassal kings, are originally relatives of the royal family. The emperor is the king of the country, but he is also the head of the clan. He should protect us."

"Private means, don't say we can't fight others, even if we can fight, what's the use except to make people laugh for nothing?"

"We feudal lords rely on the merits of the feudal clan and the Zhu family's blood flowing through their bodies. When we reach the palace, we fight for strength. Without strength, it's useless to talk about it."

"There must be a reason, but it can't be made up too well. It's enough to have something to see. If it's made up too well, it really seems to be avenged..."
