Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 253 Chapter 253: Fang Xiaoru and Zhu Di, one cut down the vassal and the other rebelled?

Although Zhu Xia Feng's words were a little hard to accept for Lan Yu, but as Zhu Xia Feng said, the original history has changed!

He should be lucky that Zhu Yuanzhang received this auspicious national destiny, predicted everything in advance, and also supported Zhu Yue, the king of Han, to ascend to power!

He is now a member of the King of Han Dynasty. As long as he can follow the footsteps of King Zhu Li of Han Dynasty in the future, there is no chance that he will be eliminated again!
"What happened after the Lan Jade case?"

"Is Zhu Yunwen really the emperor?"

Li Xin asked at this time.

As a group of civil servants, their feelings about the Lan Yu case were naturally not as alarming as that of Lan Yu, the person involved. At most, they were just surprised!

What makes these civil servants even more curious is what happened after the Lan Yu case?
Did Zhu Yunwen finally become the emperor?

Now everyone knows the ability of King Zhu Li of Han, or everyone can see that King of Han is definitely interested in that position!
If Prince Zhu Biao succeeds in becoming emperor, maybe everything will go as planned!
But besides Zhu Biao, who else could King Zhu Yue of Han be willing to serve as his master?

To put it bluntly, even when Zhu Biao was on the throne, the King of Han would not have any ideas about that position, but it does not mean that there will be no possibility after Zhu Biao's death!

However, with the auspicious national luck, coupled with the Hanwang Zhu Yue and the longevity pill, the old man can live for at least ten more years!
As long as the old man does not abdicate, let alone the thirty-first year of Hongwu, it will be normal even in the forty-first year of Hongwu!

Zhu Xifeng changed the topic at this time.

This is almost something that can be foreseen!

Of the four sons of the King of Han, three became emperors, and one became the crown prince for the rest of his life!
Just ask who else?
Is this a lineup that Zhu Yunwen can compete with?

"That's not right. Even if Zhu Yunwen doesn't understand, isn't there anyone who understands the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty?"

Hearing this word, all the ministers had a look of astonishment on their faces!
In fact, no one would be surprised that Zhu Yunwen would want to cut down the vassal. After all, he is a grandson, and for the many Sai kings who hold military power, it is basically impossible for them to sincerely regard their nephew as the common master of the world. !
Not to mention other things, the King of Han and the King of Yan alone are absolutely dissatisfied with Zhu Yunzhen!

However, judging from the old man's current attitude, it is estimated that after Zhu Biao's death, he will pass the throne to Han Wang Zhu Li!
To put it bluntly, what the old man is doing now is just paving the way for King Zhu Yue of Han, which is equivalent to this emperor working for the future emperor!
It's like if Zhu Biao had the intention to ascend to the throne in advance, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely happily give up his position and let everyone support Zhu Biao's ascension to the throne!
Now, King Zhu Li of Han has become the second Zhu Biao!
He even has an advantage over Zhu Biao in some aspects!

Cut off the vassal!

Although these ministers did not ask directly, they actually had guesses in their minds. There was a high probability that the King of Han would rebel, right?

With the strength and ability of the King of Han, it seems impossible to convince a young boy like Zhu Yunwen!

"Knowing that the emperor wants to cut down the vassal vassal, doesn't anyone stand up to stop it?"

"Zhu Yunwen did become emperor, and changed his reign title to Jianwen the following year!"

Zhu Xifeng thought for a while, but still did not directly say that Zhu Yuanzhang died in the 31st year of Hongwu. After all, it was a bit unlucky. Anyway, everyone knew in their hearts that the old man should be dead in the 31st year of Hongwu!

After hearing Zhu Xifeng's words, the important ministers had already figured this out, but at the same time they did not expect that in the original history, Zhu Yue, the king of Han, really did nothing to allow Zhu Yunwen to ascend the throne smoothly?

After all, the future development of the Ming Dynasty is foreseeable, and only the lineage of the Han Dynasty can make the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty so prosperous and prosperous!

But after Zhu Yue, the king of Han, took over, everyone's mentality fundamentally changed!
That is this emperor. Besides Zhu Yue, King of Han, who else is more suitable?

Even if the Lan Jade case breaks out and all the Huaixi nobles are cut off, there will definitely still be people who stand up to resist Zhu Yunwen's rise to power!
If it were before, these ministers might not be able to see this level!

I can’t find it at all!
Even Zhu Xia Feng and Zhu Xia Qiu, the sons of the King of Han, are not fuel-efficient lamps!

But just after he came to power, before even the dragon throne was warmed up, and before the new emperor's prestige in the court was established, he was eager to cut down the vassals. Isn't this a random invitation?

"In the original history, Grandpa Huang passed the throne to Zhu Yunwen in the 31st year of Hongwu!"

"However, Zhu Yunwen could not wait until the second year. The first thing he did when he took office was to start cutting down the feudal vassal!"

Li Xin asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Several important ministers in the court basically have the same thoughts as Zhu Yunwen!"

"Since Grandpa Huang wants to support Zhu Yunwen to take that position, he will naturally arrange everything for him!"

"You wouldn't have expected that the proposal to reduce the vassalage was proposed by one of the ministers, but he just happened to hit it off with Zhu Yunwen!"

When Zhu Xifeng said this, he glanced at Fang Xiaoru subconsciously!
Yes, in history, after Zhu Yunwen came to power, Fang Xiaoru was the first to propose the move to reduce the vassal status. It can also be said that it played into Zhu Yunwen's ambitions!

With Fang Xiaoru taking the lead, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng supporting him, plus Zhu Yunwen, the master, who had long disliked the emperor's uncle who helped hold military power, wouldn't it be logical to reduce the vassal status?

"Master, why are you looking at me?"

Fang Xiaoru was immediately stunned!

"Because you are the one who proposed to cut down the feudal clan!"

"In the original history, you were actually the minister whom the emperor prepared to leave to Zhu Yunwen!"

"Grandpa Huang also took a fancy to your knowledge, but when he was in power, he had no intention of promoting you to the center of the imperial court. He is just waiting for Zhu Yunwen to use you personally when he comes to power!"

"This will also make you grateful to Zhu Yunwen and become more loyal to him!"

Zhu Xifeng explained seriously.

When a group of ministers heard this, all their eyes turned to Fang Xiaoru!

No one expected that Fang Xiaoru was actually the confidant of Zhu Yunwen in the original history!
Fang Xiaoru's entire body was immediately in a state of confusion!
Why did he actually become Zhu Yunwen's confidant?
Does the emperor really think highly of himself? He actually chose to assist Zhu Yunwen?
If you want to say that, wouldn't you suggest that Zhu Yunqi kill both the King of Han and the King of Yan?

For a moment, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but look a little pale when she looked at Zhu Yue and Zhu Di's faces!
In fact, from the perspective of Zhu Yunwen or Fang Xiaoru, it is human nature for them to want to reduce the vassal status, or it is a matter of course!
If the feudal king's tail is too big, he will eventually become a serious problem for the court!

This hidden danger did not become prominent during the Hongwu period, but it does not mean that it will not become prominent in the future!
After all, not everyone can withstand the temptation of the throne!
It can only be said that Fang Xiaoru and Zhu Yunwen were too anxious. They were eager to cut down the vassal vassal before they had full control of the entire court. Facts have proved that eagerness cannot eat hot tofu!
What's more, if you want to cut down the vassal, just cut down the vassal. As long as the most difficult one or two are solved, the remaining vassal kings won't be able to cause much trouble!

But Zhu Yunwen and Fang Xiaoru both like to pinch the soft persimmon!
I didn't have the courage to attack the King of Han and King Yan first, so I specially selected the few vassal kings who were easiest to control to do it. I also called it to test the attitudes of the King of Han and King Yan, and at the same time, I also cut off the wings of these two vassal kings!
But wouldn’t such a temptation be equivalent to giving King Han and King Yan time to prepare for rebellion?

You have clearly told people that I am going to cut off the vassalage, but you still expect them to stay at home and wait to die?
Therefore, there is no right or wrong in reducing the vassal state. As the new emperor, it is understandable that he wants to reduce the vassal state after he ascends the throne. However, Zhu Yunwen and Fang Xiaoru used the wrong method and smashed a good card. This is their own destiny. You will no longer be able to live if you commit evil!

"I didn't expect you, Fang Xiaoru, to want to cut down the feudal clan?"

“It’s true that people should not be judged by their appearance!”

Li Xin and others looked at Fang Xiaoru with strange eyes!
But now that Fang Xiaoru is a close minister of Han King Zhu Yue, everyone can only make fun of him. Anyway, these are things that happened in the original history, and now history has changed a long time ago!
At least Fang Xiaoru would no longer be able to assist Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunzhen, and there would be no question of cutting down the vassal!
Of course, it is not ruled out that after Han King Zhu Yue becomes emperor in the future, Fang Xiaoru will also propose to Zhu Yue to reduce the vassal status!

But this possibility is already slim!

Because the development of the times has become predictable with the premise of time travel, and everyone has an idea of ​​what the future will be like!
It was impossible for Fang Xiaoru to consider the question of whether to abolish the vassal clan or not!

Even if the Northern Ming Dynasty and the Western Daming Dynasty were to split from the Ming Dynasty in the future, it would not be solved by cutting down the vassalage!

They are not here to steal your throne, they are here to build their own country and become the emperor!

Fang Xiaoru looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say!

"What then?"

"Has the imperial court succeeded in reducing vassal status?"

Li Xin couldn't help but ask.

“It was quite successful at first!”

"Starting from King Zhou, Zhu Yunwen successively succeeded four vassal kings. The most pitiful one was the twelfth uncle Xiang King Zhu Bai. Because he was falsely accused of treason, he had to lead his whole family to self-immolate to prove his innocence, which cost the lives of his whole family!"

When Zhu Xifeng said this, he was also sighing!

Xiaoru's expression below is even more embarrassing!

Why were so many vassal kings deposed, and even King Zhu Bai of Hunan set himself on fire with his whole family?
Moreover, he still had to take the blame in the original history. He was definitely directly responsible!
Fortunately, these things will never happen again, and only the people here today know about it. If the feudal kings really want to know these things, then they will hate me to death in the future?

"Fang Xiaoru, I didn't expect you to be quite cruel!"

"I remembered! No wonder Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were suddenly placed as local officials a few years ago. It turned out to be because His Majesty already knew these things! Are they assigned directly?"

At this moment, Li Xin suddenly remembered that Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were suddenly transferred away from the center of the imperial court for no reason two years ago, and he immediately thought of this matter!
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhu Biao again.

"Yes, my father also told us about this matter, so we tried to find a way to transfer these two people out of the capital and keep them away from the center of the imperial court!"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and nodded.

This matter was handled by him alone, and it was also left to Li Xin, the Minister of Civil Affairs!
When everyone heard this, they all showed a look of surprise, and at the same time, their eyes looking at Fang Xiaoru became even more surprised!
Compared to Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, shouldn't Fang Xiaoru deserve to be suppressed more?

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, after knowing these things, it would be polite not to directly find a reason to kill these three people!
I guess it was just for the sake of Prince Zhu Biao that I chose a compromise way to handle this matter!
As for Fang Xiaoru still appearing in the center of the imperial court, it is entirely because he became a member of the King of Han!
Only then did Fang Xiaoru realize why the emperor suddenly transferred him to teach in the Han Palace!
This is tantamount to giving him another chance to enter the center of the imperial court!
Fortunately, I seized this opportunity and now I have become a member of King Zhu Li of Han Dynasty. Otherwise, even if I were not eliminated, I would probably have to hide in some nook and cranny for the rest of my life!

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but feel happy!
At the same time, I feel a little more grateful to Zhu Li, King of Han Dynasty!

Because it was Han Wang Zhu Yue’s suggestion to transfer him to teach in the Han Dynasty Palace!
"What then?"

"After the self-immolation of Xiang King Zhu Bai, is Zhu Yunwen still planning to continue to reduce the vassal status?"

Lan Yu asked again at this time.

"He would like to continue cutting down the vassalage, but it's a pity that the fourth uncle will not give him this chance again!"

"The first one among the vassal kings to rebel was the fourth uncle!"

"He launched the campaign of Jingnan and Qing Jun, and he also coerced Ning Wang Zhu Quan and marched south together!"

Zhu Xifeng did not hide anything and directly told Zhu Di about his rebellion.

Hearing this, Lan Yu and others all focused their attention on Zhu Di again!
Sure enough, His Highness Prince Yan is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Not only did he rebel by himself, but he actually dragged Prince Ning and Zhu Quan into the water!
Zhu Di immediately realized Fang Xiaoru's situation at the previous moment and smiled awkwardly!
"Let me tell you, if Zhu Yunwen hadn't gone too far and even forced Lao Twelve to death, I wouldn't have rebelled, right?"

Zhu Di even made up a seemingly reasonable excuse for himself!

What's more, Zhu Yunwen has already used knives on the vassal kings. He can't just wait for Zhu Yunwen to chop off his head, right?
"What the Fourth Uncle said is right, it was all Zhu Yunwen who sought his own death!"

"Actually, as long as Zhu Yunwen has any brains, he should first solve King Yan's troubles before thinking about anything else!"

"But it wasn't long after the Fourth Uncle Yan King's side rebelled. He actually wanted to take a preemptive strike against Hanzhong!"

Zhu Xifeng's next words surprised Lan Yu and others again!
