My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 234
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Di felt more and more that this proposal was feasible... In fact, he was very entangled in the matter of the vassal king.

The vast majority of normal emperors want to cut down the vassals and take over the power.This is especially true for Zhu Di, who started his career as a vassal king.

But because of his opposition to Jianwen's reduction of the vassal, he raised an army to calm the situation, so he couldn't slap himself, he had to treat the vassal king kindly...at least on the surface.

The result was a very awkward result... On the one hand, Zhu Di gradually took back the military power of the vassal king to prevent the possibility of rebellion.On the other hand, Zhu Di had to ensure that the vassal king was unscrupulous in the local area, and he could not really severely punish the vassal king, nor could he cancel the vassal king.

In the end, a group of "pigs" were raised, and relying on their huge food intake, they completely ate the Ming Dynasty to the end.

Xu Jingchang's help to Zhu Di is absolutely comprehensive.

The most important one is to reinterpret Datong and give Zhu Dijingnan a more profound meaning.

With this, Zhu Di has a lot more room to do things in terms of vassal kings.

It is not impossible to even abolish some vassal kings.

"Jingchang... I have another question. You let the refugees study, you let the warriors study, and you let the clan and vassals study... You are always obsessed with this. Do you have some addiction?"

Does your kid like being a teacher?
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are also familiar with the history books...whether it is an emperor or a general, the more they pass on, the more they cannot compete with civil officials. What does your Majesty think is the reason?"

Zhu Di frowned, "Is it enlightenment?"

Xu Jingchang said: "That's right... After all, civil servants are all selected from among countless scholars, overcoming difficulties and fighting all the way. Boys' examinations, rural examinations, general examinations, palace examinations... Before entering the officialdom, they have been honed and extraordinary. Although I don't really look down on the ability of many civil servants, but their intelligence and ability are there. Generations of civil servants can be said to be the best among the best, outstanding. On the other hand, the military generals of the clan, with their innate status, naturally have no motivation to improve The circle is small, and there are basically no selections. The things you learn are either not systematic, or they are cultivated in the way of literati... This is definitely not possible!"

Zhu Di thought over and over again, and finally nodded his head, which seemed to agree with Xu Jingchang's opinion.

"Let the clan and vassal kings enroll in school, learn their skills, and once they have completed their studies, they will serve in the court. This is also to choose the best and employ people to strengthen the clan. It can also solve the cost of population breeding and benefit the local area... a great strategy!"

Zhu Di quickly summed up the benefits of this suggestion, and immediately decreed that the vassal princes from all over the country should come as soon as possible.

In fact, before Zhu Di's decree, in order to sacrifice to the heroes, Xu Jingchang had already invited the vassal kings to Beiping, otherwise the kings of Zhou and Shu would not have arrived.

This time, the rest of the princes came one after another...

The leaders among them are Qi Wang Zhu Wei, Dai Wang Zhu Gui, Gu Wang Zhu Pian, Liao Wang Zhu Zhi...these four are all one of the kings of Sai who were sealed by Lao Zhu himself, holding military power and having a detached position.

The set of things that Xu Jingchang tinkered with had already disgusted them to the extreme.

Now it is time for the vassal prince to enroll in the school again, to re-bath and educate...

"Absurd! It's really absurd! What is Xu Jingchang? How dare he say such treacherous words?" Qi Wang Zhu Mi has always had a bad temper and violent nature, so he was the first to quit.

Dai Wang Zhu Gui didn't quite understand what was going on, he just said, "Seventh Brother, I heard that this was the suggestion of Fifth Brother and Eleventh Brother, why are you scolding Xu Jingchang?"

Zhu Yu snorted coldly and said: "You don't understand, the fifth brother and the others were used by others. When he was in Yingtian, the surnamed Xu counted as the seventeenth brother. Now the seventeenth brother is still in the capital, it is Xu Jingchang who did it. Yes. He has always liked disgusting people. There is no one in the government who does not scold him."

Zhu Gui was stunned for a long time, but he had to shake his head and sigh, "How could such a magnanimous person as the king of Zhongshan have such unworthy grandchildren?"

Zhu Yu snorted: "That's their Xu family's business, I don't care about it... But if you want to manipulate me, absolutely not!"

Zhu Zhi, king of Liao, had a bit of a brain, "Seventh brother, you can't do it if you are not convinced. The aunt of Duke Ding Xu Jingchang is the queen, and now he is Shaobao, the governor of Jinyiwei, and the secretary of the Northern Paradise... There are a lot of official titles. We are afraid that we will not be able to afford to offend the government!"

Zhu Yu seemed to be there, he laughed and said, "Are you afraid?"

Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment... Zhu Yu immediately cursed, "Are you still from the Zhu family? We are nobles, the son of Huang Kao, and the vassal king of Ming Dynasty, how can we be afraid that he will fail as a little prince? I don't believe it, fourth brother You will be so obedient! If you have no guts, just take your books, go to school to study, and listen to other people's mercy! Useless trash, shame on you!"

Zhu Zhi's face was flushed by the scolding, "I'm just asking to make this matter more satisfactory. Why do you scold people like this? When the big guys are about to be of one mind, who is going to ruin the morale of the army?"

The two of them quarreled, and Zhu Gui hurriedly said, "Stop arguing, now that the enemy is at hand, you have to think about how to sue Xu Jingchang."

Zhu Yu thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "It's not easy, Xu Jingchang encouraged the fourth brother to change the ancestral system of feudal lords, just based on this, he is a traitor like Qitai Huang Zicheng. Let's go see the fourth brother together, Make it clear to him face to face, I am not afraid that he will not agree."

Violate the ancestral system!

I have to say, this is really a good crime.

These few people discussed it and agreed decisively, but Zhu Zhi reminded him not to speak too harshly. Xu Jingchang's position is based on it, so it's better not to offend Xu Jingchang.

Zhu Yu and the others agreed with their mouths, but they didn't think so in their hearts.

This is a battle between life and death, how can there be any sense of proportion?
If you don't kill Xu Jingchang, Xu Jingchang will kill you.

Fight!

The movements of the vassal kings did not escape Xu Jingchang's eyes.

"King Qi, King Gu, King Dai, King Liao... They didn't support His Majesty together in the battle of Jingnan, and now they are getting together and conspiring to deal with me. I'm so proud of myself!" Xu Jingchang said, He glanced at Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu who was sitting next to him.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly and said: "They all know nothing about death. The vassal kings colluded with each other and conspired against others...I will take people now, arrest them, present them to the emperor, and demote them all to common people."

I have to say that Zhu Gaoxu is really ruthless.

"I said, His Royal Highness, they are all your uncles, a family, are you not afraid of being talked about?"

Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said, "I'm looking for land everywhere now, and those who are still blocking me in the entire Nine Sides are these Sai kings... whoever delays my earning money, I will never stop with them!"

Xu Jingchang was terrified, and couldn't help but stick out his thumb, "The king of Han is so brave!"

Then Xu Jingchang said again: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, just wait for them to throw themselves into the trap."

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, "Can they be so stupid?"

Xu Jingchang couldn't help laughing, "Then how smart do you think they are?"

Another day...Xu Jingchang went to Yan Wang Mansion in person.

Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, hurried over to greet him, and knelt down on one knee, "I pay my respects to the governor."

After the last lesson, Ji Gang was in awe of Xu Jingchang, and he didn't dare to neglect him at all.

Xu Jingchang also had a warm smile on his face, "Commander Ji, where His Majesty is, there must be absolutely no negligence, and he must be guarded like a palace. Are you ready?"

Ji Gang immediately said loudly: "Please rest assured, the chief inspector, Jin Yiwei will go all out and dare not be negligent."

Xu Jingchang smiled and nodded, he turned around, and then sat down at the concierge of the palace. Before he finished his cup of tea, there was chaos outside.

Several vassal kings were aggressive and directly killed them.

"We want to see His Majesty."

Ji Gang smiled and said: "If you go back to King Qi, His Majesty is not here today, so please go back."

Zhu Yu was furious, "What do you mean? How dare you lie to us?"

The acting king Zhu Gui also said: "Your Majesty is clearly in the city, you, a small Jinyiwei commander, dare to isolate the inside and outside, and block our clan and vassal, you are deceiving the sky!"

Zhu Yu snorted, "Don't talk nonsense with him, let's rush in together."

Ji Gang suffocated, but he was always sober and knew his own weight. He was really not qualified to stop several vassal kings.

Fortunately, Xu Jingchang laughed at this time.

"Yo, so it's your highness, it's not easy!"

Zhu Yu squinted at Xu Jingchang, and snorted, "You don't need to lie to us, let us see Your Majesty quickly."

Xu Jingchang said calmly: "Your Majesty has too many things to do, and you are not the only vassals who have come to Beiping. If you want to see Your Majesty, please tell me what it is? If it doesn't matter, go back first!"

"You dare to stop us?" Zhu Yu was furious, "Your Majesty said to be kind to the clan when he took the throne. Now you are segregated from the inside and outside, and you are slandering. You have bad intentions, you little treacherous minister!"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and smiled.

In the Ming Dynasty, some warriors scolded him as treacherous ministers, and some civil servants scolded him. Now that he has finally received the scolding from the clan, and gathered the curses of all the people, what can he summon?
"How do you write treachery? I'm not married yet... There are at least a hundred beauties in your Prince Qi's mansion. When it comes to your ability to cause harm to King Qi, the word traitor cannot be counted on my head."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Mi broke his guard completely, he gritted his teeth angrily, "You are slandering this king, you are too hateful. Let's go up together, arrest this treacherous minister, and hand it over to His Majesty."

As they said that, they jumped up.

Seeing it, Xu Jingchang suddenly changed his expression, showing panic, "What are you doing? Do you want to kill someone?"

Zhu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, I want to kill you, a treacherous minister! Kill him!"

The Four Great Fortress Kings came rushing towards them...and at this moment, Xu Jingchang turned around suddenly and ran directly to the Palace of King Yan...As soon as he ran, Zhu Yu and others chased after him.

It turned out that the guards in Jinyi standing in front, the emperor's guards, actually moved away one after another.

Just like that, a Duke in front and four princes in the rear rushed into Prince Yan's mansion.

After entering, Xu Jingchang yelled at the top of his voice again, "Come on, come on quickly! The vassal king is going to kill the emperor and his ministers! A vassal king is going to kill someone!"

These four people didn't realize anything, Zhu Yu snorted angrily, "You're the one who killed them!"

At this moment, they ran another distance, and they were not far from the main hall. Xu Jingchang exhausted all his strength and yelled sharply: "Come on, there are traitors who want to clear the king's side!"

On the side of the Qing emperor?
The four vassal kings were stunned. At this moment, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui each led their troops and cut off their retreat...
