Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 152 152: Zhu Biao is more terrifying than Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Yuanzhang was already on his western tour, and Zhu Yue began to retreat again at this time. Fortunately, this time the time was relatively short, and he came back in a few days.

But Concubine Zhou felt that she still needed to remind Zhu Yue not to delay his business!

"Don't worry, concubine, the child has his own sense of propriety and won't delay the business!"

Zhu Li nodded quickly and agreed.

However, Concubine Zhou took two steps forward, reached out and snatched the box Zhu Li was carrying!

After seeing what was in the box, Concubine Zhou's brows immediately wrinkled!

"Is this what you mean?"

"You bastard, you are not learning well every day!"

"I asked you why the palace recently sent several pretty maids one after another. Don't you know what else to do every day?"

Concubine Zhou directly threw the box back to Zhu Yue and glared at him angrily!

Although she has never seen this thing before, she can probably guess its purpose. After all, she has been there before!

Zhu Li, that’s so embarrassing!

Unexpectedly, he was caught and revealed by his own mother!

Mrs. Li on the side covered her mouth, trying to hold back her smile, and soon her face turned red!

……

Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Yuanzhang began his western tour, and the whole court felt as if a big mountain pressing on them had suddenly been lifted away!

Although this mountain will come back sooner or later, at least I can finally relax for a while!

In fact, this is a very contradictory mentality.

When Zhu Yuanzhang decided to tour the west, many ministers in the court stood up to oppose it, but in the end they could not persuade him to give up the idea.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is really gone, these people are the most relaxed!

Even Zhu Biao felt that during the morning court, both civil servants and military generals began to talk more. This was completely impossible when the old man was here!

"Dear gentlemen, I have a decree here, and it was approved by my father before he left the capital!"

"Xue Li, declare the decree!"

In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Biao took advantage of the end of the morning court to wink at the officials of the Hanlin Academy who were preparing.

The imperial edicts of the emperor are all handled by the Office of the Imperial Academy.

A eunuch like Wang Chen, even if he is the chief steward, is not qualified to read out the imperial edict!

After all, the imperial edict represents the emperor's will. How can a person with incomplete six faculties represent the emperor?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang left the capital, he also handed over the place of inheritance to Zhu Biao, and the jade seal was also in Zhu Biao's hands!

It can also be said that except for the fact that Zhu Biao does not have the title of emperor, the power he actually controls is no different from that of the emperor!

To put it bluntly, if Zhu Biao wants to rebel, he doesn't have to wait for the old man to return to Yingtian Mansion. Maybe the old man has not even arrived in Hanzhong, and he has already become the Supreme Emperor!

Of course, Zhu Biao would definitely not do that!

The old man wanted to give him the Zen position in advance, but he refused. What was he trying to rebel for?

The civil servants and generals in the court couldn't help but look at each other, and they were all very curious, what exactly did this imperial decree say?

This was an imperial decree announced by Zhu Biao after Zhu Yuanzhang left Beijing!

However, after Wang Chen read out this determination, the entire Fengtian Hall suddenly felt like needles were dropping. Everyone's eyes widened, and for a moment they didn't know how to react!

There is no other reason, because this imperial edict is for Huai Wang Zhu Yunzhen and Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi to join the feudal clan immediately!

It is reasonable to ask Zhu Yunxi, the King of Wu, to join the vassal state, but it is absolutely unexpected to ask Zhu Yunwen, the King of Huai, to join the vassal state!

Everyone knows that one of the brothers Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi will definitely be the next crown prince!

How could the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty become a feudal lord when he went out?

Isn't this a joke?

It took a long time for everyone to react, and then the entire Fengtian Palace exploded!

"Your Highness, you must not do this!"

"The prince is the foundation of the country, and the heirs of the prince cannot be arbitrarily vassalized!"

Academician Liu Sanwu was the first to stand up and spoke earnestly to Zhu Biao.

"Your Majesty is confused. Your Highness, why are you also confused?"

"Huai Wang Zhu Yunwen is both virtuous and virtuous, and he will be the heir apparent of the country in the future. How can he stay in a vassal state?"

"Your Highness, please think again!"

"Prince, please take back your life!"

All of a sudden, a group of civil servants all jumped out and began to persuade Zhu Biao. They all fell to their knees!

"This is what Father meant!"

"It also means lonely!"

"Whether it is the King of Huai or the King of Wu, the vassal status was agreed upon with my father half a year ago, so there is no need for you to say more!"

Zhu Biao had long expected such a situation in the court, but this time, he learned Zhu Yuanzhang's arbitrary style of Qiankun, and it was absolutely impossible to change his mind just because of a few words from his ministers!

Upon hearing this, Liu Sanwu and other civil servants were all dumbfounded!

Originally they thought this was Zhu Yuanzhang's will, but Zhu Biao was actually unwilling!

In the end, this was still the result that the father and son had discussed half a year ago?

No wonder half a year ago, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly issued a decree to confer kingships on Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxi. It turned out that he was planning to let all these two emperors and grandsons go to vassal?

It may be normal for Zhu Yuanzhang to have such thoughts, but why did Zhu Biao do this?

He is the current prince!

In a few years, he may be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

And his eldest son will definitely be the next prince of the Ming Dynasty!

How can there be any reason for the prince to go out and join the vassal after he becomes the vassal king?

Could it be that after Zhu Biao becomes emperor in the future, Zhu Yunwen, who has already resigned from the feudal vassal, will be recalled to be crowned the prince?

Isn't this a fool's errand?

"Your Highness, Prince Huai must never accept vassal status!"

"Don't say that His Majesty is not here today. Even if His Majesty is in the court, I will ask him to take back this decree!"

"I forgive you for overstepping your bounds. The Crown Prince's matter is a serious matter and concerns the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. It must not be trivial!"

"Huai Wang Zhu Yunwen is the future crown prince, how can he go to a certain place to establish a vassal state?"

Liu Sanwu persuaded Zhu Biao again with an excited look on his face.

"You are not joking. Since the imperial edict has been issued, is there any reason to take it back?"

"Also...who told you that Prince Huai will be the future crown prince?"

"Not to mention that Gu is still just a crown prince. Even if Gu has ascended the throne, it is still Gu's business to appoint who will be the crown prince. When will it be your turn to make decisions for Gu?"

Zhu Biao's face suddenly darkened. He grew up reading Confucian poems and books, and he does have deep feelings for Confucianism. He has always been very tolerant and respectful of Confucian scholars like Liu Sanwu!

But in this matter, he suddenly realized that those Confucian dogmas and so-called rules really needed to be changed!

This is also the change he must face now!

He must be ruthless, otherwise there will be no need to talk about reform!

Both he and the old man know that the biggest difficulty in reform is not the reform itself, but whether Confucianism can agree!

Can the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty agree?

Whether Zhu Biao is willing or not, he must be ruthless and learn to stand on the opposite side of these Confucian officials!

Otherwise, trying to help Lao Jiu carry out the Ming Dynasty's reforms will become empty talk!

Zhu Biao's words were merciless and can be said to be quite serious!

The court was in an uproar. No one expected that Zhu Biao could say such a thing!

Listening to what he meant, Zhu Biao was not going to let Zhu Yunwen take his place?

But besides Zhu Yunwen, who else can be worthy of such a big responsibility?

Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi is not that material at all!

The remaining two little grandsons, Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yunxi, are too young, and they are not the eldest sons!

"Your Highness, you must not do this!"

"If you insist on letting King Huai seize the vassal today, I would rather die in this hall!"

Liu Sanwu obviously didn't expect Zhu Biao to be so strong in this matter, but he would not compromise like this!

In Liu Sanwu's view, as a minister, you must dare to speak out and point out the emperor's mistakes!

Especially what happened today was so wrong!

For a scholar like Liu Sanwu, what he values ​​​​is not money, but reputation!

Some people hold office for power, and some hold office for profit, but like Liu Sanwu, the only thing that holds office is reputation!

It is undeniable that he is indeed an upright official, but he may not be a good official!

But now all he can think about is persuading Zhu Biao, and he is even willing to risk his life if he really needs to!

He also believed that if his death could dissuade Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang, then he would have deserved his death and would be able to leave his name in history!

"That's right, if the Crown Prince and His Majesty insist on going their own way, then I will have to die to learn from it!"

After hearing Liu Sanwu's words, many civil servants immediately stood up. A group of Confucian scholars headed by Liu Sanwu all showed a look of resignation!

"Are you threatening Gu?"

Zhu Biao's face suddenly turned extremely ugly!

He foresaw that this matter would definitely encounter resistance, but he did not expect that these Confucian scholars would threaten him in such a way!

Damn it!

It’s really a good idea!

It is foreseeable that if these civil servants are really killed in the main hall today, it will definitely be a big stain on both the old man and the prince himself, and it will probably not be washed away in this life!

"I only hope to wake up His Majesty the Crown Prince and let His Majesty take back his life!"

Liu Sanwu said neither humble nor arrogantly.

"Where is the Jin Yiwei?"

Zhu Biao suddenly shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Jinyi guards were seen rushing directly into the hall.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were once again in an uproar!

What is Zhu Biao doing?

Why do you feel that after Zhu Yuanzhang left, the crown prince's style was more ruthless than that of the emperor?

Just call Jin Yiwei if you disagree?

"Liu Sanwu and others will go directly to Zhao Prison, and all three of their clans will be imprisoned first!"

"I will put my words here today. If anyone seeks death, you will not be the only one to die!"

"Everyone, including the three tribes, leaves no one behind!"

As soon as Zhu Biao said these words, Liu Sanwu and others were dumbfounded!

No one thought that Zhu Biao was more rogue than them!

They just died, but they still wanted to implicate the three tribes?

In fact, Zhu Biao had no choice but to do it. He did this because he wanted to lock Liu Sanwu and the others for a few days and use their three tribes to threaten them. At least they would not seek death and survival!

After all, it doesn't matter if they don't want to live, they have to think about their three clans, right?

All they have to do is release Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi after they have become feudal lords. By then, the deal is already done and there is nothing they can do to stop them!

Liu Sanwu and others were quickly dragged out by a group of Jinyi guards.

The remaining civil servants and generals were all looking at each other in confusion. The atmosphere in the court was so depressing and frightening that it even felt like it was back to the time when the Hu Weiyong case broke out!

Everyone thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's Western Tour left the capital and they could finally take a breath!

But I didn't expect that His Royal Highness, who has always been gentle, would be as ruthless as Zhu Yuanzhang!

The main reason is that everyone can't figure it out. What is Zhu Biao doing this for?

Could it be that when he becomes emperor in the future, he really won’t even want the crown prince?

Unlike this group of civil servants, Lan Yu and a group of Huaixi military generals felt excited at this moment.

From their perspective, they naturally hope that Zhu Yunxi can take over in the future!

But they also knew that Zhu Yunxi's character was not suitable for being an emperor at all!

But if Zhu Yunwen takes over, it will definitely not be good news for them!

But now, neither Zhu Yunwen nor Zhu Yunxi seems to have any intention of being appointed as the crown prince by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao. This is a bit intriguing!

"King Huai and King Wu will enter the vassal state in three days. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War will arrange the arrangements for the two vassal kings to enter the vassal state. The escorts can be directly selected from the Five Army Governor's Mansion!"

Zhu Biao concealed the silence of the court, but spoke slowly and in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Anyway, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen were both in the south of the Yangtze River, so they didn't need many guards at all. Two hundred guards for each of them felt a bit too much.

After all, the fiefdoms they were in were very wealthy, and a few guards could ensure the safety of the palace, and there was no need for them to go to the battlefield to fight!

With Liu Sanwu and the others having learned from the past, how can anyone else dare to have any doubts?

……

East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi just got married a few days ago, and now is the time for them to be happy.

Lu is now thinking about when to let Zhu Biao directly move Zhu Yunxi to the fiefdom, so that Zhu Yunwen's position as the future prince will be stable!

"King Huai and King Wu accept the order!"

At this moment, Wang Chen came to the East Palace courtyard.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed!

Accept the purpose?

The old man is not in the capital, so where can he get the order?

Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince issued the imperial edict directly in the name of the old man?

Could it be that the Crown Prince really planned to let Zhu Yunxi go to the vassal state as he thought, and then canonize their son Zhu Yunwen as the grandson of the emperor?

Well, that must be the case!

In Lu's view, both Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi have been crowned kings and married!

Even if you issue an imperial edict, you can't escape this matter!

After all, in her opinion, the future prince must be her son Zhu Yunwen, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Yunxi to be a loser!
