Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 819 Confessing the King
"Your Highness, this way please~"

Western Garden, Taiye Lake.

Liu Chao lowered his head and led Zhu Youjian to meet the emperor as ordered. Too many things had happened in the court recently. Anyone who wanted to see the emperor could not come before him unless the emperor issued an edict to specially summon them.

Among them were Zhu Youjian and others who were studying there.

There were too many things to deal with, and Zhu Youxiao didn't want anyone to disturb him. After all, the things he was facing now could bring great hidden dangers if there was any slight negligence.

Zhu Youjian followed Liu Chao and walked quickly towards Taiye Lake.

Zhu Youjian, Zhu Changxun and their group knew something about what had happened recently, especially the batches of civil and military officials being summoned before the emperor, which they could see from a long distance. This also made them realize that the court was in trouble.

The group of eunuchs who frequently went in and out of the imperial presence, none of whom dared to slack off in their work, further confirmed what they were thinking, and this also made Zhu Youjian and others extremely anxious.

The blood of the Zhu family flows in their veins. With so many things happening now, as descendants of the Zhu family, they must also do their part.

Since Zhu Youjian was named the grandson of the King of Tang and went to the court as a royal minister, Zhu Youjian, Zhu Changxun and others also hoped that this would happen one day.

If for no other reason than to help the emperor share his worries.

Perhaps human nature cannot be changed, but the environment can change a person's thoughts and vision. The more experiences one has, the greater the change will be.

Since he ascended the throne, Zhu Youxiao has regarded the royal family and vassal states as an integral part of the Ming Dynasty's rule, in order to build a new system of checks and balances.

There are some things he doesn't do, but someone has to do them eventually.

But it’s better to do it early than late!!

"Brother Emperor~"

When he arrived at Diaoyutai, he saw his royal brother leaning on a recliner, covered with a velvet blanket, as if he was sleeping soundly. Zhu Youjian hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed.

"coming."

Zhu Youxiao, who was taking a nap, heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes. He smiled and said to Zhu Youjian, "I have been very busy these past few days. I wanted to lie down for a while, but I didn't want to fall asleep."

"Brother, please take care of yourself."

Zhu Youjian showed concern on his face. Seeing that his brother was about to get up, he hurried forward to help him. "The current Ming Dynasty cannot do without you, my brother, to take charge. If you don't..."

"Haha, I'm not that fragile yet."

Zhu Youxiao interrupted with a smile: "Alright, let's stop being like this, I'll get straight to the point, I intend to make my younger brother the king, the Great Ming Xin Prince!!"

hum.

Zhu Youjian's heart tightened. He didn't expect that his royal brother summoned him here to make him a king. Could it be that his royal brother wanted him to become a vassal?
When he thought of this, Zhu Youjian became worried and anxious.

"Don't think too much. I made you king, and I never thought of asking you to become a vassal."

Zhu Youxiao saw through it at a glance, lifted his robe and stood up and said, "I plan to call you, Prince Su Zhu Shihong, Prince Ji Zhu Youdong, and Prince Lu Zhu Changxun as ministers, with you as the leader, in charge of all matters related to immigration to the border."

"I have too many things to do, but my energy is limited. I can't do everything. However, there can be no mistakes in the immigration to the border. The success or failure of this matter is related to the fate of our dynasty. I am worried about leaving it entirely to outsiders, so I plan to let you four kings and ministers shoulder the heavy burden. Do you dare to do it?"

"dare!!"

Zhu Youjian's sadness turned into joy, and he could not hide his excitement and bowed, saying: "Please rest assured, my brother, I will definitely handle this matter well and will never let you down."

Related to his childhood experiences, Zhu Youjian has always had a fear of losing something deep in his heart. If he wants to completely resolve this, he must go through something. Without experience, he will never change.

"Don't rush to express your opinion yet."

Zhu Youxiao stopped smiling and waved his hand, saying, "I want to make it clear that once you accept this mission, you have to do it well. If you don't do it well, you will be demoted and transferred to another fiefdom. You will not be allowed to stay in the Ming Dynasty from now on."

"Don't think that being a minister is an easy thing. Your status is special, but it doesn't mean you enjoy any privileges. I will treat you all equally."

"Since Changshou went to Korea, he has never dared to relax for a moment. I know that he is afraid of disappointing me and his ancestors. I also hope that you can be like Changshou."

"I understand!"

Zhu Youjian immediately stated: "If I can't do it well, I am willing to be demoted to a commoner!!"

Look, you still need experience.

Seeing Zhu Youjian like this, Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhu Youjian was not mature enough. However, this kind of energy would not be suitable anywhere else, but it was very suitable for immigration to Liaoning.

As royal ministers, Zhu Youjian and his comrades will be in charge of supervision. Whoever dares to abuse power for personal gain, commit favoritism and fraud during the immigration to Liao, and thus undermine the immigration plan, will be dealt with accordingly.

Zhu Youxiao valued Zhu Youjian's ruthlessness in killing civil servants. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Zhu Youjian to participate in court affairs in advance.

Before Zhu Youjian really matured, Zhu Youxiao positioned him as a supervisor. This was not just about administration of officials. Whenever a large-scale project was advanced to a certain stage and corrupt people were discovered, Zhu Youjian would be asked to step in and resolve the issue.

With these in hand, Zhu Youjian would be a royal minister for the rest of his life. Of course, Zhu Youxiao would never mention these ideas to Zhu Youjian.

The thing that people who long for family affection cannot bear the most is facing reality.

"I have sent someone to deliver the decree to crown my brother as king to the cabinet, and it will be announced to the whole country soon."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "The construction of Prince Xin's residence will be temporarily suspended. When the treasury is full, I will send officials to build it for my brother."

"It's okay not to build Prince Xin's residence."

Zhu Youjian stepped forward and said, "The court is facing various difficulties right now. We cannot afford to..."

"You still have to have what you are supposed to have. This is etiquette. Everyone else has it, but you don't. What does this mean?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I will tell Prince Lu and the others about this matter now, and see if they are willing to help me shoulder this heavy burden with you."

"My brother obeys the order."

Zhu Youjian bowed again.

Zhu Youxiao thought about the matter of Minister Wang for a long time. He originally wanted to wait a few years and let Zhu Youjian test the waters first. However, the events in the southeastern provinces changed many things and even changed the current situation.

Right now Zhu Youxiao has to concentrate on solving some problems, but there are also some important things that need someone to keep an eye on for him. In this case, he might as well do it in advance.

This should also be a test for them.

If they couldn't even do this well, Zhu Youxiao would give up on training them and ask them to move to overseas fiefdoms of the Ming Dynasty. They couldn't go to Korea, but they could go to Dongfan.

After all, this important maritime territory had been gradually controlled by Wei Zhongxian, and moving the vassal there was also a disguised way of strengthening the ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty! !
