Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 399 Zongfan should set an example

Whenever you encounter big changes, you should have determination.

Even if the storm is coming, you must be calm and calm.

Look for opportunities in crises.

Seek breakthroughs in opportunities.

Only by taking advantage of the situation can we achieve great things!

Zhu Youxiao knew very well what kind of Ming Dynasty he took over, so when faced with choices and challenges, the only thing he could do was to stick to his own opinion.

Do what he thinks is right.

Take the path he thinks is right.

Anyone who achieves great things must have a strong will!

Being indecisive, looking forward and backward, and worrying about gains and losses is destined to fail, and you may even become the prey of others.

In a harsh environment, any shortcomings in character are extremely fatal!

This is the cruel reality.

……

Forbidden City.

Qianqing Palace.

Today is destined to be an unusual day. The sects and vassal families from all over the country who had earlier respected the emperor's edict were finally summoned by the emperor after a long wait in Shanglin Garden. A large group of princes, princes, and even generals and auxiliaries of the country were summoned. The generals of the country and others went to the Forbidden City in a mighty manner, which shocked the capital.

It was even because of this incident that the previously hotly discussed rebellion of Sichuan Guiping was directly suppressed.

"I have finally been summoned by the Emperor. I wonder what the Emperor will say to me this time."

"I don't know. Anyway, I've almost had enough of this Shanglin Garden. It's all good, but it's not as good as one-third of an acre of my own land."

"Have you heard that the chieftain of Sichuan and Guizhou has rebelled? I heard that there is quite a big fight."

"What do I have to do with this? But speaking of it, the King of Shu has not come to the capital yet, so he won't be stranded in Sichuan because of this matter, right?"

"It's really hard to tell..."

On the way to Qianqing Palace, a group of people wearing various robes gathered together in small groups, talking quietly as they walked.

For the vast majority of sects and clans, since the new king Ke succeeded to the throne, many of them have been murmuring in their hearts, why? This is not the end of the Fu Fan line.

Speaking of which, the battle over the country in the Wanli Dynasty, although the battle has always focused on the central court, the sects and vassals in various parts of the Ming Dynasty are also very aware of the reasons.

But then again, the ancestral system inherited from the Ming Dynasty is destined to prevent people like them from participating in state affairs, otherwise they will be targeted by the civil servants, which will be unpleasant. Even if the trouble is serious, it will be very serious to be deprived of the title. ordinary.

It is precisely this that makes the vassal clans in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, as long as their families are well-off, close their doors and live their own luxurious life. As for those who are in decline and have no family, they can't even take care of food and clothing.

The vassal clan is not allowed to get involved in politics, join the military, or do business. The many restrictions set are all to avoid separatism.

However, this one-size-fits-all approach is destined to produce very few talents in the Ming Dynasty clan, especially the lower-level clan groups. In some cases, their lives are even worse than those of the local people.

"Even now, there are still many sects and clans who have not arrived in the capital yet." In a guard room, Zhu Youjian, who was standing at the window and observing, frowned and said: "His Majesty decreed this It’s been a long time, even if I’m walking, it’s time to come to the capital.”

"That's because you don't understand them."

Zhu Yujian, who was standing next to him, had a cold look in his eyes. He focused on one person and clenched his hands down, "They are not simple!"

Ok?

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart. He glanced at Zhu Yujian and saw that his eyes were fixed on one place, so he followed Zhu Yujian's gaze.

Zhu Shuoji, the king of the old Tang Dynasty! At this moment, Zhu Youjian knew what was going on. Before Zhu Yujian was taken to the capital, he lived with his father in the Chengfeng Division. They said they were living, but in fact they were imprisoned. Why?

It's not that Wang Huo of the old Tang Dynasty was having a concubine and was blown away by the wind on his pillow. He was disgusted with Zhu Yujian and his son.

If Zhu You hadn't reprimanded the eunuchs of the inner court, went to the Tang Palace to take Zhu Yujian to the capital, and even killed his concubine with a cane, Zhu Yujian's current situation in the Tang Palace would still be very bad.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian both had rough experiences. Although their experiences were different, it was precisely this experience that made their personalities fall into the same category.

But they are all lucky.

And among the entire Zhu family clan, are there few who have experienced something like theirs?

The scene changes.

A large number of sects and vassal clans who entered the palace were led to the main hall by the eunuchs of the inner court when they arrived at the Qianqing Palace. However, the crowd with various emotions and thoughts were stunned when they stepped into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. .

Hanging maps come into view.

Situation map of Liaodong region.

Situation map of Sichuan-Guizhou region.

Disaster map of Shandong region.

Map of the Great Works of the Zhili Region.

After seeing these clearly marked maps, many of the sects and clans who entered the palace showed different expressions. This visual impact actually made some people feel that a storm was coming in their hearts.

The imperial court encountered so many difficulties?

"A Jianlu rebellion could actually pose such a threat to Liaodong?"

"There shouldn't be so many questions, right?"

"Are these real or fake?!"

In a sense, the pig-raising policy of the Ming dynasty clan was indeed very good. The clans and clans distributed in various places knew very little about major events at the national and dynastic level.

They seem to be living in luxurious prisons, content to enjoy themselves in their respective territories, and have little knowledge of the outside world.

It's just that their special status is destined to be unusual in the local area. Even if they don't want to do anything, the people below will do something in their name, either overtly or covertly.

What's more, many sects and clans are extremely greedy. In order to maintain their luxurious life, they are trying their best to seize the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Just like under the rule of Henan, a large number of vassals and clans annexed land, causing a large number of farmers to go bankrupt, which caused many small families to be fragmented.

"What you see is true. This is the situation the court is facing now."

And under this situation, a voice sounded, causing the crowd gathered in the hall to follow the sound, and saw Zhu Youxiao, wearing a regimental dragon robe, walking in from outside the hall with his head held high, followed by Zhu Youxiao. Jian and Zhu Yujian, followed closely by Wei Zhongxian, Liu Ruoyu and other eunuchs from the inner court.

The moment he saw Zhu Yujian, the expression of Old Tang Wang standing in the crowd became a little unnatural.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!!"

Under the sound of salutes, Old Tang King came back to his senses and bowed to the emperor like the crowd.

"Today I called you into the palace, not outsiders. It's just for one thing."

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the salutes of the people in front of him. He walked towards the dragon chair with his head held high. His sonorous voice echoed in the hall, "Now the country of Ming Dynasty is facing a crisis. The imperial court is facing a crisis." There are too many difficulties, Zongfan should set an example! For me, for my Zhu family, share the worries and solve the difficulties!!!"
