Chapter 131 The sound is like thunder, Yongle awakens the emperor's power!
After hearing someone calling him, Chu Ze, who almost fell asleep, quickly ran out from the side.

In a daze, he raised one hand subconsciously, and then stood in the middle of the lineup of civil and military officials.

He also asked loudly, who called himself just now.

However, after he stood up, Chu Ze finally remembered that he had come to court today when he looked at the civil and military officials who were all staring straight at him.

Moreover, he seemed to come with a script.

And just now, he seemed to have fallen asleep.
'If this guy didn't run away, why did he go for so long? '

After hearing Chu Ze's voice and seeing this guy finally stand up.

The brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Di couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

But at the same time, he also became suspicious.

The atmosphere just now has been enhanced to that point, this guy is nowhere to be seen.

But as long as this guy doesn't run away, it's a good thing.

On the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was staring at Chu Ze with eyes that wanted to eat people.

And his undisguised anger made all the officials below look at Chu Ze jokingly.

How did this young man whom he had never seen before offend His Highness the Crown Prince?

On this occasion, he was actually pulled out,

Isn't it clear that he is going to be put to death?

Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince was not always very kind in the past!Why did he target such a small character today?
Is there any anecdote in this?
Looking at Chu Ze who was standing in the middle of the civil and military ministers in a daze, none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty thought that this guy really stood up to solve the problem.

Because none of them wanted to believe that His Highness really wanted to check and balance the feudal king.

If His Majesty really changed his mind, why would such a little-known little character like Chu Ze need to stand up?
"Chu Ze, right? The prince recommended to us just now, saying that you are a capable person who can have a certain understanding of what the vassal king is doing recklessly in the feudal kingdom. Since you can be valued by the prince, then we will give it to you." An opportunity, you tell us, how should this matter be?"

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Chu Ze's 'stage fright' just now, this guy stood up now, and the play was sung to such an extent that no matter how dissatisfied Zhu Yuanzhang was, he could only continue singing the play.

And when Chu Ze heard Lao Zhu's words, he immediately realized that he probably fell asleep just now, and didn't notice the scene at all.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, regarding the fact that vassal kings are easy to slacken themselves and do evil when they are enforcing the country, my point of view is that most of the vassal kings are in the hinterland of the country when they are enforcing the country. They received education in the middle school, but they were well-clothed and well-fed since childhood, and although they occasionally tasted the hardships of the people, they were still a minority."

"So, the reason why they act recklessly in the feudal state is nothing more than the too comfortable environment, which leads to the slackness of the people. The land of the feudal state cannot grow, and the management model tends to be stable. The vassal king is actually just a false name."

"They have nothing to do, even if they have ideas, they have nothing to do, and there is no room to display them."

"Over time, ambition is obliterated, and fighting spirit is replaced by extravagance."

"Throughout history, times can always create heroes in times of crisis, and most dynasties must turn from prosperity to decline under prosperity. Why? I believe that this is caused by the decay of people's hearts caused by living too comfortably."

"The vassal kings are almost in the same situation. A stress-free life can bring them nothing but enjoyment and boredom."

"Therefore, my minister's opinion is that if the vassal king's fiefdom is moved outside Daming, the vassal kings can open up their own territory in an environment surrounded by enemies."

"Let the vassal kings reshape their ambitions in the flames of war. At the same time, it can also allow the vassal kings to seal the country and become an external barrier for Ming Dynasty."

"Blocking all dangers at the outermost periphery will not only prevent the feudal lord from becoming a disaster in the feudal kingdom, but also bring peace and prosperity to Ming Dynasty. This will kill two birds with one stone!"

After thinking of the mission he had come here today, Chu Ze also possessed a playful spirit in an instant, and began to talk about his experience with righteous words.

Of course, these things are all scripts that he prepared in advance these two days.

And Chu Ze's high-spirited talk also made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still extremely depressed, feel a little better at this moment.

Although this guy was extremely sloppy at the beginning, at least his performance was remarkable when he got serious.

Especially the set of rhetoric he prepared is justified and well-founded, and he also uses history to look at the present.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's point of view, Chu Ze's ability to achieve this level is considered extremely good.

But when Chu Ze finished speaking, the whole hall was still silent.

If it is said that at the beginning, everyone looked at Chu Ze to see a joke, and at the same time felt that this was a poor child who was dragged out by the prince to die.

Now, in the eyes of the officials, this little guy who popped out of nowhere is a complete lunatic.

How is it different from expelling the feudal king?

Your Majesty distributed the vassal kings in the first place, and a large part of the reason was because the vassal kings could not inherit the throne, so they distributed the vassal kings. I hope that these vassal kings can also have a place to live and work in the future.

But now it's a good thing, Chu Ze's words, understatement, destroyed all the original intentions of His Majesty.

If it is said that some courtiers opposed enfeoffment at the beginning, it was just to avoid cholera in the future royal descendants, which would harm the foundation of a country.

At this time, Chu Ze's policy of conferring the vassal kings was to get rid of all the vassal kings from the root.

To expel all the vassal kings from the country, to put it nicely, is to let them go to foreign places to expand their territory and achieve their own hegemony.

But if it is not easy to say, it is completely to let them go abroad to fend for themselves, and fundamentally eradicate the threat of future vassal kings to the imperial power.

And when everyone thinks again, Chu Ze is the person recommended by His Royal Highness to stand up, so this seems to be the case.
Could it be that the prince was just pretending to be loyal and benevolent in the past, is he finally going to show his minions?

All of a sudden, various speculations reverberated in the hearts of the officials in the hall.

And the more people guess, the worse the results get.

Of course, there are still some people who just want to see how Chu Ze, who proposes such a vicious plan, will die in the end.

"Everyone, what do you think about Chu Ze's words? We said it today, and we won't blame anyone. You can speak freely!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw that this big drama finally kicked off as he wished, he also turned his attention to the officials.

At a time like this, how could no one stand up and sing the opposite?
How boring it would be if no one sang against it!

However, the more Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the more afraid the officials below were to speak.

Because in their view, this man named Chu Ze was already dead.

At this time, it is better for them to participate less.

If the time comes and accidentally burns himself, wouldn't it be a big joke?

Everyone knows that His Majesty will definitely not agree to this proposal.

Then why should they stand up at this time?
If he didn't get the credit, he might even make a fuss.

'Why does this feel a little different from the script arrangement? '

After Chu Ze finished speaking his lines, he was actually waiting for the objectors to speak.

But what he didn't expect was that after he had been talking for a long time, no one actually spoke.

This made him a little confused.

No one objected to this, so what's next?

"Father, my son has a word that I don't know whether to say or not?"

The few people holding the script in their hands thought that the play seemed to be unable to continue, but Zhu Di rolled his eyes and stood up directly.

Among those who knew the script of this great drama, he was the only one who was most eager for the smooth completion of the distribution of feudal kings.

After all, he was the first person to go out to eat crabs. This matter was related to his interests, how could he not be in a hurry?
Seeing that no one stood up to object, he simply skipped the objection link and went straight to the topic.

Isn't there no objection?
Just make a final decision and that's it!

"King Yan speaks directly, above this hall, there is no need to hide anything, just speak freely."

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di stand up, he also roughly understood what he meant.

Although it was different from the pre-arranged process, in fact Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the process, all he wanted was a result.

On this point, he and Zhu Di have the same idea.

"Father, my son is thinking, if the vassal is granted the title, can the son borrow troops from the court? It doesn't need to be too much, just a little, and it is enough to help the son win the territory he has chosen."

"And after that, if the son-in-law expands the territory outside, can he take part of the territory as his own and expand the feudal country?"

"Of course, my son is Mingchen after all, the prince of Daming. If I can gain a firm foothold abroad, then everything is thanks to the blessing of my father. I think that if I can expand the territory, I will The part that borders Daming is directly included in the territory of Daming according to [-]% of the expanded territory."

"In this way, the minister is not only expanding his own vassal state, but also expanding the territory for my Ming Dynasty!"

"Father, I don't know my son's foolish opinion, does my father think it is feasible? If my father thinks it is feasible, my son is willing to be the first to lead the relocation of the country. Go to a foreign place, sharpen yourself, and open up the territory for our Ming Dynasty! "

After Zhu Di stood up, he not only stated the distribution ratio that had been negotiated in advance.

And by the way, directly started to apply for the battle.

The script is not important anymore, he only thinks about giving him the first place to go out.

As long as he gets this quota, he can start to prepare his power with great fanfare.

In normal times, the vassal king recruits counselors and recruits soldiers.

This is all directly related to rebellion.

And as long as he gets the first place to move the fief overseas, then he can train soldiers, recruit counselors, and forge weapons with great fanfare.

When everything is ready, he can personally lead the team to the battlefield he has longed for.

Therefore, no matter what happens today, Zhu Di will hammer this matter down.

He is going to fight.

No one can stop him.

"Your Majesty, you can't! This Chu Ze is just talking nonsense, and the feudal king is conferred on him. How is this different from exile?"

"It's bitter cold outside the Great Wall. If the vassal kings are enshrined outside, how will they develop themselves? Is it enough to rely on soldiers to develop a place? Don't you need the common people?"

"Furthermore, the feudal lords encroach on the territory of other countries, and in the future all the spearheads will still be pointed at me for it. This Chu Ze's strategy is entirely for the sake of Daming."

"He's trying to induce His Majesty and the princes to go down the road of militarism! Your Majesty, please think again, this matter must never be judged!"

When Zhu Di stood up, the officials who had been silent at first seemed to have finally noticed something was wrong.

Because they suddenly felt that His Majesty was not going to kill Chu Ze.

The prince didn't push Chu Ze out to die.

Rather, they just wanted the vassal prince to be sealed off, and Chu Ze was just an introduction.

And after realizing this, someone finally stood up and wanted to object belatedly.

But it is a pity that the best time for him to stand up has passed.

"What is militarism? What is exile? Why are you so narrow-minded. As descendants of the Ming royal family, shouldn't we just sit back and enjoy the rest of our lives and do nothing in the fief for the rest of our lives?"

"We are all the blood of the father. The father was able to end the rule of the Yuan Dynasty in the flames of war and establish the current Ming Dynasty. What a great achievement!"

"We princes, don't we want to be a bunch of maggots, lying on the father's body to suck blood?"

"Father, I, Zhu Di, have hands and feet. I admit that I can lead the army and govern one side. Why should I be afraid of foreign barbarians?"

"Building a territory, although it is not possible to rely on armor alone, it can be done only by brute force."

"But as long as I, Zhu Di, have soldiers by my side and no people, won't I attack? The land I attack is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and the people are naturally the people of my Ming Dynasty!"

"So what if enemies come from all directions? We have cannons, firecrackers and sabers! Just kill him and never come back."

"It's their honor and their blessing to be able to enter my bright land!"

"Father, my son doesn't agree with such cowardly words, and I don't think this is exile."

"The green hills are all the same in the world. Where is a man not home? Wherever I, Zhu Di, is my territory of Ming Dynasty! Since it is my territory of Ming Dynasty, it is my home. I am in my own home, how can there be such a thing as exile?" nonsense?"

"I don't know what the other brothers think, but I voluntarily asked for my order to relocate my son to the country! I will set an example for you brothers."

"I also ask the father to grant the child a heart of sincerity!"

Above the court, Zhu Di, who had put aside everything at this time, showed his ambition in front of everyone for the first time.

And above the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son squarely for the first time looking at Zhu Di who sounded like thunder below.

Is this the power of Yongle?
This kid is really good!
No wonder he can become Emperor Yongle.
