Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 404
For Zhu Gui's actions, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were naturally extremely disappointed.Zhu Gui's performance, when he was in the local area, he felt that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, not to mention greedy and cruel, and he did not know how to repent.But when he was really going to be punished, he wanted to push it away.

Zhu Yunying was not happy, but said to Old Zhu, "We also need to investigate the people below. Those who are in front of Uncle Thirteen will be punished severely if they are guilty. If those people in the guard are involved, we will not Soft hands. Local officials, we will let people deal with them later. Those individuals, we don’t think they are clean.”

Lao Zhu is absolutely satisfied with Zhu Yunying's statement and handling method, which is also Lao Zhu's style.

It is better for his own family, but Lao Zhu will not be soft on outsiders.From Lao Zhu's point of view, his son certainly made a mistake, but anyone who misled his son must be unforgivable and must be severely punished.

Those evil servants and slaves should be killed.In order to please Zhu Gui, those local civil and military officials regarded the court's laws as nothing. Naturally, these people will be severely punished, and none of these people will be let go.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying and asked, "Your thirteenth uncle, why are you going back to your hometown?"

"Let Thirteenth Uncle guard the imperial mausoleum for great-grandfather and great-grandmother for a while." Zhu Yunying said, giving his own thoughts, "It is the land of the emperor after all. Grandpa Emperor had a hard time starting a business. Uncle Thirteen also went back before. This Once, we planned to let the emperor go back, and we opened a piece of land to come out, and no one else was allowed to help."

Old Zhu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay! We should let these bastards know that this wealth is hard-won!"

Looking at Empress Ma's tablet, Zhu Yunying said, "Although there are constant offerings at Fengxian Hall, I just want to say that our ancestors also thought about the wiseness of their descendants. From now on, the five grains in Fengxian Hall will be the children of our clan. Plant it."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, looked at Zhu Gui and said, "I'm afraid that our ancestors won't eat the food provided by this bastard! These bastards have humiliated our ancestors, and we will all be ashamed!"

"Father, please be kind!" Zhu Gui cried with snot and tears, and he really knew that he was afraid, "My son, my son was just deceived!"

Old Zhu kicked Zhu Gui away angrily. Old Zhu has many sons who are successful, but there are also many children who are not successful.And this Zhu Gui, obviously one of the representatives of incompetence, made Lao Zhu feel extremely disappointed.

Obviously, this bastard just has no knowledge.If it weren't for being born in the royal family, it is estimated that he would starve to death even begging for food!

This is the slightest lack of intelligence, if it is really severely punished, it will not just let him go farming.If this is really demoted to a commoner, then it is really going to be imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang, that is the real severe punishment for a clan, and it is almost impossible to turn over severe punishment.

Zhu Yunying was not polite, and continued, "This time, grandson plans to move all the Daiwang Mansion back. Uncle Shisan's family is not suitable to go to Datong Mansion in the future."

Lao Zhu did not object this time, probably because he knew that Zhu Yunying had always disliked the vassal king.What's more, what Zhu Gui did, Lao Zhu didn't have the face to defend his son.

Zhu Gui felt that he was finished, completely finished, this time he could not stand up, and now he really regretted it.

Zhu Yunying looked at Zhu Gui and said seriously, "Uncle Shisan, we are your nephew, but we are also the emperor of Ming Dynasty. There are some things we are facing Uncle Shisan, and we don't want to make Grandpa Huang feel uncomfortable. Just remember it , only this time, after all, we are the emperor, and the common people are also our subjects!"

Zhu Gui actually wanted to refute it very much. He is an uncle, how could he be reprimanded and taught by his nephew like this.But now, he didn't dare to say anything, even if he was a favored prince, but Zhu Gui also knew very well that his status as a prince was far inferior to that of the emperor's grandson.

Lao Zhu waved his hand and said, "You just kneel here, and if we don't make an order, you just kneel here! In two days, we'll send you back to your hometown!"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he ignored Zhu Gui who was crying. When Lao Zhu turned around and left, Zhu Yunying naturally followed him quickly, and he really didn't bother to talk to Zhu Gui.

Holding Lao Zhu's arm, Zhu Yunying said, "What Uncle Thirteen did this time, my grandson is not surprised."

Old Zhu sighed, he didn't know this truth, "We are from a poor family, and they have never suffered. Let alone them, even those from the Wu Xun family, even those who fought with us, have Quite a few people forget their roots when they get rich."

"Yeah, it's not uncommon for people to be arrogant and domineering when they are rich." Zhu Yunying smiled bitterly, but also very helplessly, "This matter is also a matter of people's hearts. We think it's not just Thirteenth Uncle, but everyone can't solve it. Thirteenth Uncle No one in Datong Mansion can stop him."

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and their status is special, so no one can control them.Furthermore, although it is a fiefdom, it does not need to be governed, so naturally there is no need to worry about public grievances.

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Lao Zhu didn't know what to say, probably because he naturally knew this truth well.

"What my grandson said earlier was not random. We are planning to open a field in my hometown." Zhu Yunying said to Lao Zhu, "Although some clans may not repent after planting a field. It's just that we feel that it is more or less a problem. lesson."

For such a proposal, Lao Zhu naturally would not have any objections.He himself opened a field in the palace and cultivated it, and he often asked his ineffective descendants to help.In Lao Zhu's view, it is also appropriate to open a field in his hometown.

Although such things are a little superficial, but these things are not a bad thing, let the clan of the Ming Dynasty not completely forget their roots.

Zhu Yunying continued, "This time, at the end of the year, my grandson wants to let the vassal kings from all over the country come back. At that time, I still hope that the emperor's grandfather will contribute. When he comes back, he will not go to the vassal land again."

Lao Zhu frowned, as if he lacked confidence, "Let us cut them directly? That's not good, even though we haven't let them go for many years now. It's just that now that we cut them, they must be making trouble. .”

"It's because the emperor's uncles are going to make trouble, so we can only ask the emperor's grandpa to come forward." Zhu Yunying is also very bachelor, and said bluntly, "Nowadays, there are still some emperor uncles who want to become a feudal clan, and there are so many of them. Don't worry about the balance, but the few."

The reason is probably true, even if it is such a reason, some princes in the Ming Dynasty have already become vassals.Although the court also took back a few, there are still a few princes who are outside.

This is good if the bowl of water is level. Since there is such a policy, it is better to simply have some continuity.

Although Zhu Yunying can also have some patience, when those vassal kings who are outside the vassal make mistakes, he can justifiably "reduce the vassal", which is also a seemingly good choice.

It's just that it will probably take a lot of time if this is really the case.What's more, once it really reaches that level, when cutting the feudal clan, it's not just about simply taking back the fief, but also punishing some feudal kings, which is no small matter.

Lao Zhu was a little unhappy, but also a little disgusted, "You can't wait until we kick our legs to do these things. Is it possible that we can't agree?"

"It's a bit too much for the emperor to say that. If we cut down the feudal clan at that time, it would be no small matter." Zhu Yunying said to Lao Zhu very simply, "Just like Uncle Thirteen, if the feudal clan was cut down at that time, it would be a big deal." Third Uncle is the easiest to be reduced to a commoner."

This time Lao Zhu also fell silent, he probably knew that what Zhu Yunying said was very reasonable.Zhu Gui's actions depended on how the emperor fell. Naturally, he could justifiably cut down the vassal and question the crime, or he could hold it high and let it fall gently.

The silent old Zhu stopped talking, mainly because as the emperor, old Zhu could naturally understand some of Zhu Yunying's thoughts.

In fact, Lao Zhu could also understand some of Zhu Yunying's difficulties. Although Zhu Yunying's prestige was not small, he was just a junior.If it was Zhu Biao who wanted to cut down the feudal clan, there would be no need to worry about any opposition, just cut down the feudal clan directly.

But Zhu Yunying's side is not doing well here, there must be some rumors outside, maybe the emperor's reputation for treating the clan harshly spread, and this is very possible.

Old Zhu was no longer silent, and could only say, "Speaking of which, we really have to take care of this while we're alive, and there are some things we didn't expect."

For example, Zhu Ying died young, for example, the Wu Xun Group was weakened relatively smoothly, and Zhu Yunying's performance after ascending the throne exceeded some of Lao Zhu's expectations, etc.

All of this was somewhat beyond Lao Zhu's expectations, so the original plan to cut down the vassals can indeed be implemented, and Lao Zhu can do it.

After all, as far as Fan's affairs are concerned, this is Lao Zhu's own formulation.Now, it is natural for Lao Zhu to solve this problem by himself. It is obviously the most suitable for him to come forward, and I don't know how much more suitable than Zhu Yunying.

After a moment of silence, Lao Zhu said, "Ying'er, we think that even if we are gone in the future, you should show some sympathy to the clan and break the bones and tendons."

Seeing Zhu Yunying nodding, Old Zhu was very relieved, he didn't think Zhu Yunying was perfunctory.

But suddenly, Lao Zhu became worried again, "Don't be too soft-hearted. You are the emperor after all, and you have to consider the people of the world. You have some emperor uncles, and they are indeed useless."

Although he cares about his sons, Lao Zhu is also worried about his precious grandson being bullied.I still have to remind one thing, Lao Zhu knows that his grandson is also a person who cares about his family, so he is easy to soften his heart.

Zhu Yunying still just smiled and said nothing, as long as he knows some things in his mind.Some of his decisions are not so easy to change.
