Chapter 212 Cutting off the vassal?Cut off his grandma's legs
Above the court, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming with a headache.

And Zhu Zhen is very confident.

"In order not to delay the morning court, I have to get up before dawn, but you can't let me, a vassal king, come running on two legs, right? I only have a few horses around me, can't I, the king, come on horseback?"

"I just spend the whole day nitpicking. No one is perfect, and no one can withstand the criticism of others. I would like to ask, Mr. Zuodu Yushi, which foot did you take first when you went out today?" If you don’t believe me, I’ll find a reason to chop off your other foot?”

"Do you eat with chopsticks with your left hand? Or with your right hand? Do you snore when you sleep? When you go to the toilet, do you pee first, fart first, or poop first?"

"You're right, are you trying to make trouble with me? As long as our identities are swapped, I can blame you on no one. What kind of thing is coming to trouble me every day? I killed Siren's army of hundreds of thousands. , not to mention you all are in charge of the Procuratorate?"

Zhu Chu just needed to spit out his phlegm to show his inner disdain.

"There is also the eldest nephew." After Zhu Zhen scolded him angrily, he didn't feel satisfied. He directly pointed the finger at Zhu Yunwen and said: "After all, we are also a vassal king and His Majesty's biological son, not just a cat or a dog somewhere." You're a wild bastard. That little official came up and pointed fingers at me without even mentioning a single word. Did he ever take me seriously? Did he take my father seriously?"

"You call me Uncle Wang, but do you even have the slightest respect? You say I don't ask questions? Then let me ask you, have you ever asked me what happened during my period? I want to impeach you immediately. Me? Who is the one who doesn’t care about everything? My nephew, you are not the emperor yet. Why are you in such a hurry? "

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

"Puttong" didn't know who it was, so his legs went weak and he knelt down.

Then, other people also knelt down one after another, lowered their heads, trembling and afraid to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

But Zhu Zhen was not moved at all, standing there and continuing to stare at Zhu Yunzhen.

In the blink of an eye, all civil and military officials in the court knelt down, even Xu Da was no exception.

Cold sweat began to break out on Zhu Yunwen's forehead, and finally he hurriedly knelt down.

Zhu Ming's words are really treasonous.

Are you not the emperor yet?

He dares to speak, but others may not even dare to listen.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang above, his face was extremely dark, he stared at Zhu Ming, gritted his teeth, raised his hand, his fingers were trembling: "You bastard."

Zhu Zhen had completely ignored it at this time, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang as if he was breaking a jar, quietly waiting for his trial.

At this moment, I'm afraid in everyone's mind, they think Zhu Chu is doomed, right?

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang was heard shouting angrily: "Didn't you kill him?"

"Ah? Who to kill?" Zhu Zhen was stunned, no, you don't play according to the routine?
The censor of Zuodu even knocked his head on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head in surprise and wanted to ask Grandpa Huang, who did you want to kill when you said you wanted to kill him?
But he dared not.

"A mere petty official dares to point fingers at my son, a vassal king who has made great contributions to the court? The nine tribes should be punished." Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case, and he was furious.

Everyone just felt like it was winter at this time. Many people were shivering, as if a chill went from the top of their heads to their tailbones, and their blood was cold.

It’s only been a few months since the Lan Jade case?Are you going to kill him again?
And everyone seems to be able to understand why Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry.

Because Zhu Chu had indeed just returned to the capital, and even had to live in a separate courtyard of the post house. Even if other second-grade border officials returned to the capital to report on their duties, they would have their own mansions, or go to a better place to stay.

And Zhu Zhen is honored as the vassal king.

Zhu Chu still had a good reason. He didn't even have a place to live, let alone a sedan and a carriage.

You ministers still have transportation, what's wrong with me riding a horse?It's not like riding a horse in the street, so why is it so difficult?
What's more, it's the petty officials who accuse and scold without asking any questions. Many people were present at the time.

Are you bullying my son like this?
"That's not the case." Suddenly, Zhu Ming shook his head and said, "My son has also been whipped, beaten and scolded. It would be pointless to add more charges. If you want to kill me, just kill me right then and there. Why? Came up to you and made a report?"

The corners of Zhu Yunwen's mouth twitched.

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes also twitched.

Zhu Yunwen knew that when Zhu Ming said about snitching, he was talking about himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, felt that you are really crazy. You can make the decision on your own in such a big matter as murder, right?
Then you will be the emperor too, right?

"Okay, please get up, officials," Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Chu and greeted the officials instead.

The officials stood up to thank him and looked at Zhu Zhen in surprise.

Especially veterans who are familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang's character.

In the past, when His Majesty was angry, who dared to stop him?Who dares to plead for mercy?

Even when Prince Zhu Biao pleads for mercy, he is often scolded and scolded, and may not succeed.

But how could His Highness the King of Dian get rid of a crime that deserved execution in just a few words?
What would have happened if he had been there during the Lan Yu case?

They certainly would not have thought that if Zhu Zhen were here, he would only be more in favor of killing Lan Yu and would never intercede for Lan Yu.

"Something's going on," the eunuch standing by shouted, indicating that he was about to start talking about political affairs.

The officials also returned to their usual rhythm from the small episode just now, and began to report and request instructions step by step.

Now it was Zhu Xi's turn to be bored. In fact, he had been wondering from the beginning, why was he standing here?

who I am?where am I?why am i here
"I should be under the car, not in the car, to see how sweet you are," Zhu Xi even sang in his heart.

At the same time, Zhu Chu discovered one thing, that is, it was always the civilian officials who were doing the talking, but basically no one spoke on the military generals' side.

Zhu Ming approached Xu Da curiously and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Xu, why don't our generals say anything? By the way, the war in the Western Region and the northern grassland is not over yet. No more fighting?"

Xu Da rolled his eyes at him, who is your Uncle Xu?Don't try to get close, just go away.

Xu Da ignored him.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was above, noticed Zhu Chu's little movement, picked up the tea cup from the dragon table and took a sip, while signaling to the people below that it was over.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhen and asked, "What are you muttering about?"

Zhu Zhen didn't react at first, until Xu Da reminded him angrily: "Your Majesty is asking you something. What's the matter with you always staying by my side? Go over there."

Zhu Chu turned around and looked, and by coincidence, it was Li Jinglong on the other side. He immediately curled his lips: "That trash? Is he worthy of standing with me?"

Xu Da suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. What do you think of a prince?
However, Xu Da was also very helpless because Zhu Ming did have the ability to be arrogant and arrogant. He has extraordinary achievements, what can you do?
Zhu Ming then raised his head and noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang was staring at him, and said with a blank expression: "I'm asking myself if there is something wrong with my memory. Because after listening for so long, I didn't hear anyone mention the grassland in the north. , and the fact that the Western Region has not yet been recovered. What? Are you not going to fight the grassland? Do you want the Western Region? What is this morning meeting for? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark again, and he already wanted to take off his shoes impulsively.

But I heard someone among the civil servants say: "Your Highness, that is a foreign land. It is just the southern barbarians and northern Di, the eastern Yi and the western Rong. Why should we care about it?"

"What an arrogant thing," Zhu Zhen immediately gave a thumbs up.

The man had a weird look on his face, thinking he was praising himself?Or are you hurting yourself?
"The Southern Barbarians, Beidi, Dongyi, and Xirong that you call them have flattened the entire Central Plains. No, it's a land far beyond your imagination. If the sea and Siberia hadn't stopped them, they would have reached the other side of the earth. Tsk, tsk, tsk," Zhu Ming shook his head, what an arrogant idea.

"Even," Zhu Ming spoke again, "You guys who claim to be superior to others, but what others call fourth-class people are untouchables and untouchables. What can you do to be so arrogant?"

"Shut up, you bastard," Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand hearing it anymore. By the bitch in your mouth, do you mean everyone in the court including me?

Zhu Chu spread his hands: "I just want to remind everyone that the Tatars are temporarily weak now. As the saying goes, their disease will kill them. If we can't destroy them now, sooner or later they will come back. There is so much land outside the customs, what Jurchens are there?" They should all be driven out of Korea and killed."

"Shut up," Zhu Yuanzhang began to feel a headache.

Although it is now the 26th year of Hongwu, and there is no such thing as a country without conquests during the [-]th Five-Year Plan, Zhu Yuanzhang also warned Zhu Zhen: "A country that only knows how to fight for war cannot develop in the long run. Now that the Ming Dynasty has just been established, it is time to rest and recuperate. It’s better to rest with the people.”

"Your Majesty Shengming."

All civil and military officials shouted loudly.

Zhu Zhen secretly sneered. There has never been such a saying. Instead, as the country stagnates, it will suffer internal defeat due to corruption.

Zhao Kuangyin was also a general at the time, and his troops were also good at fighting.

But in the end?How was the Song Dynasty bullied?

For example, the Tang Dynasty was glorious and powerful for a while, but eventually fell.

When a country begins to be content with the status quo and does not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, it will begin to regress.

What's more, land is limited, but the population will continue to multiply, and if someone annexes the land, sooner or later, a country or a dynasty will eventually perish.

Unless the key to breaking the situation is found, such as high-tech development in the industrialization era, or cutting leeks in batches, or transferring internal conflicts away.

That is to say, continue to create wars, continue to expand territory, and continue to win. Only in this way can the country continue to grow.

How many years has it been since the founding of the country?Internal conflicts are about to begin. How about killing several groups of people?
Of course, Zhu Zhen was not a real fool, so he didn't say these words.

But he stopped talking, but Zhu Yuanzhang came to him again and said, "Why don't you talk again?"

Zhu Ming was helpless. What kind of trouble would this father want to make?As a vassal king, I can only stand here to give you face. I am getting carried away, right?

Rolling his eyes, Zhu Yu said: "I have nothing to say to my father. How about I tell you about the decisive battle between me and Sirenfa?" "No need," Zhu Yuanzhang said in his heart. Forget it, he will get bored if he learns the same story over and over again.

"However," Zhu Yuanzhang said suddenly: "I have good news to tell you. You were only 12 years old when you became a vassal. Now that Yunnan has been pacified, why don't you stay in the capital for a little longer, and at the same time I I have already planned for you to go to the Imperial College to further your studies."

"Look at how decent you are with the way you speak and behave now. It's time to study hard."

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a malicious smile.

Zhu Ming was shocked. He was actually asked to go to school?As expected of you, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu, my biological father.

There is no limit to your deceitful son.

"I dare to ask my father, can I not go?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming with curiosity on his face: "Do you want to be an ignorant bastard?"

"My son is a vassal king, and he is a vassal king guarding the border. Defending the family and the country is not a big deal, so all he needs to do is know how to mount a horse and fight," Zhu Zhen said bravely.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, deliberately patted Long Ben, and said, "But you asked us for a chair to sit on before. Do you think this chair is really so easy to sit on?"

There was an uproar in the court, and then it quickly fell into silence.

But everyone looked at Zhu Zhen, and he actually asked His Majesty for a chair?What chair do you want?Dragon chair?
Among the civil servants, Zhu Yunwen stared at Zhu Ming, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and shock and anger.

Even Xu Da was shocked. He knew that this kid was a fool, but it wasn't like that, right?Is it okay to ask His Majesty for a chair?

Facing the suspicious gazes of the civil and military officials in the court, Zhu Ming felt a little pressure, and finally he could only grit his teeth and said, "Isn't it okay for me to go? You should have told me earlier. If you had told me, I wouldn't have gone long ago."

Why do you want to let everyone in the world know your ambition?You might as well tell the world that I am going to rebel.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled proudly, brat, I can't cure you anymore?

"Okay, retreat from the court," Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

All the officials quickly knelt down and worshiped.

"Zhu Chu, come with me," Zhu Yuanzhang greeted again before leaving.

Zhu Ming originally wanted to leave, but when he heard this, he could only lower his head and follow the eunuch to the back hall.

While others were leaving, they gathered together in twos and threes and communicated in low voices.

What exactly is going on?

Judging from His Majesty's attitude towards the King of Dian, isn't he too doting and sheltering?It's like no one is allowed to say a single bad word about the King of Dian.

There was also a group of people surrounding Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Why does Your Majesty suddenly have a preference for the King of Dian?" someone said worriedly.

Zhu Yunwen fell into silence, but couldn't help but recall the state when he came to the palace to find the emperor's grandfather yesterday.

At that time, for some reason, Grandpa Huang suddenly burst into tears again, crying and missing Prince Zhu Biao.

At that moment, Zhu Yunwen hurried over and cried bitterly with Grandpa Huang.

Grandpa Huang kept holding his hand and praising him as a good grandson.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but raise his head confidently and said: "Don't worry, he can't be a threat. After all, he is only our eighteenth uncle, and he is not as big a threat as my other uncles."

What Zhu Yunwen was talking about was naturally those direct sons of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Besides, I have a closer relationship with Grandpa Huang, so the advantage is mine.

Then Zhu Yunwen left surrounded by everyone. He also had his own official business to be busy with.

After all, he is the emperor's grandson. Although he is not as good as the original prince Zhu Biao, he has already begun to supervise the country and participate in all political affairs.

But Zhu Yunwen also began to take over some government affairs.

At the same time, on the other side, Zhu Yuan was called to the previous side hall again by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After entering, Zhu Yuanzhang asked everyone to go out, leaving only the father and son.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat there and glanced at Zhu Zhen, who was standing in front of the door, looking ready to run away at any time. He couldn't help laughing and said: "What? Are you afraid that I will whip you? Aren't you afraid?"

"The main reason is that Father, you are too heavy. It doesn't matter how many strokes you take. My waist can't stand it when you sit on it for a few times," Zhu Ming said casually.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he glared at him, pointed to the side and said, "There is a chair there. If you want to sit on it, move it yourself."

Zhu Yu raised his eyebrows, Zhu Yuanzhang was so weird today.

But he was not afraid, so he walked over generously, sat down directly, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Good guys, the two of them sat flush with each other.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, "How can you be equal to me here?"

But I also know that this kid is very cunning. Once he becomes cunning, he even dares to shout rebellion against himself, and even wants to separate the family and give Yunnan to him, so that he can build a bigger empire for Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to argue with him, lest he would make him angry to death, so he would do as he wished.

"楩儿," Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

Zhu Ming shuddered, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly, and murmured: "Dad, don't be like this, you have something to say, and I'm afraid of you like this."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang like this made Zhu Zhen worried that he might want to kill himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head funny and angrily, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said: "Actually, no one in the world knows that your eldest brother, Biao'er, may have been scared to death by us."

"What?" Zhu Zhen was shocked and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

How can it be?Zhu Yuanzhang's preference for Zhu Biao is obvious to all. Throughout history, who would doubt Zhu Yuanzhang's love for Zhu Biao?

But Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and sighed and said: "I was too anxious to hand over this country to him. But I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to grasp it, so I wanted to pave the way for him. But I just chose to be a homebody. Kindhearted, he doesn't know our good intentions. Those corrupt officials can never be killed. There are also those arrogant and powerful generals. Some of them have been sealed to the end, but they don't know how to advance or retreat, and they still want to continue to ask for things. Again Yes, do we want to give away the country?"

"We said something harsh that day, but we didn't expect that Biao'er was so frightened that he fell ill and even died."

"When you left yesterday, you said the same thing as Biao'er. The most ruthless emperor's family."

"Zhen'er, we originally had a hundred, a thousand or even ten thousand ways to deal with you. We could have sent Jin Yiwei to ransack the Mu family, and even threatened you with the woman you had in Yunnan."

After hearing this, Zhu Xi suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief, clenched his fists, and already had the urge to punch his father.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Don't stare at us yet. You can't scare us. After all, we are your father. In fact, I don't know how to deal with you now. You also told Yunwen today that he is not the emperor yet. .”

"That kid Yunwen is very scheming. When Biao'er fell ill, he took care of him with all his clothes on. After that, he stayed with us. In fact, we know his intentions. It's a pity that your second brother and third brother are nothing. It's really hard to be a fool. Great responsibility. Otherwise, it won’t be your nephew’s turn.”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly revealed a lot of what was in his heart.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was never mediocre. Even when he was old, he was still wise and powerful.

He knew that Zhu Yunwen had a motive, and it was definitely not as white lotus as he appeared on the surface.

Otherwise, Zhu Yunwen would not have cut down the vassal vassal as soon as he came to power.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was even more helpless. The second and third sons could not stand up, so what could he do?
If the fourth child is established, what should the second child and the third child do?What if they rebel?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to establish Zhu Yunwen.

"You were worried that Yunwen would cut down the vassalage, but you went against him, and you offended him today. Why don't we worry that he would cut down the vassalage, or even cause you brothers to fight against each other?"

"Today there are still only you and me, father and son. Please explain to us. Is the only way to deal with the vassal king is to cut down the vassal?"

This was what Zhu Yuanzhang was most worried about and cared about in his later years.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want the disasters of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty to occur.

But he saw with his own eyes that the Yuan Dynasty perished because of the strong ministers and weak masters.

But he didn't know what to do.

Zhu Yunwen asked what to do if the vassal king rebelled, and Zhu Zhen said that Zhu Yunwen would definitely weaken the vassal.

Especially the two of them had a lot of conflicts.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became curious. Does this son have the answer?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhen directly scolded: "Cutting down the feudal clan? Cutting off his grandma's legs."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around to find the soles of his shoes.

Because Zhu Yunwen's grandmother is Queen Ma.
