Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Depart from Jingqing and head to the southwest.

Zhu Xuan has completed another big thing, and Jing Qing is responsible for the southwest side. For the time being, he can rest assured.

However, Zhu Xuan is still thinking about the second major issue, which is related to the vassal king. He can only do it once, so he should do it first to let the vassal king know that no matter what they do, the court can see it.

They may be able to restrain themselves a little in the future.

This morning, Zhu Xuan held a court meeting.

Although the vassal king did not come to court and did not need to go to court, the content of today's court meeting was aimed at the vassal king. It was necessary to impeach the vassal king, but it was not urgent. Cao Tai had been brought back, and Bao Zhao and the others also interrogated him. After that, we summarized this matter as soon as we came to court.

The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have thoroughly investigated the entire case, and it is indeed the Cao family's problem. They have also helped Lu Song redress his grievances, and handed over the people who deserved to be killed to Jin Yiwei.

Because it is necessary to peel off the skin and make the grass grow, there is no department in the entire Ming Dynasty that is more professional than Jin Yiwei.

The remaining relatives of Cao Tai are slaves and maids. They will always have a low status and cannot escape from this status.

This is how this case came to an end.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court were furious at Cao Tai.

Zhu Xuan felt quite satisfied after listening to their report. He nodded slightly and said, "You did a good job and handled this matter very well. Very good!"

Zhu Xuan said again: "Do you have anything else to report?"

The first person to appear was Shen Qian.

There was no foreshadowing, no emphasis on the abhorrence of the nobles, and they were impeached as soon as they arrived, for fear of having any negative effects.

"whats the matter?"

"I have something to report!"

Especially the Xungui group, there are more people missing.

Under severe punishment, those with problems were admitted one after another.

Zhu Xuan also asked a very cooperative question, as if he was pretending not to understand what was about to happen, and acted out this drama with Shen Qian.

In addition to this case, there is also a thorough investigation of the Bingma Division, Ying Tianfu and Xungui, which is also in full swing. Ke Tianlang and others have reported, many people have been arrested, and many people have been punished, so that today The number of officials in the DPRK has decreased.

He knew very well that when Zhu Xuan asked this question, he was giving himself a code.

Even Xungui was complaining. They hated it. Cao Tai was messing around in Anfeng County and set this fire on fire. They didn't know what to do.

Of course Zhu Xuan understood Shen Qian's little thoughts, and said: "It must have been discovered early, otherwise the Cao family would continue to do evil, and I don't know how many people would be killed by the Cao family."

They shouted loudly, saying that they did not dare to take credit, they just did their part and so on.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness!"

No matter what, we have to go out and impeach the feudal king.

Before impeaching the feudal king, there must be a prelude.

Shen Qian said loudly: "Your Majesty relied on his own power, oppressed the people, and acted lawlessly. Fortunately, His Majesty and His Highness found out in time, strictly investigated the Honorable, restored the reputation of the court, and prevented the people from feeling cold."

Swallow them all into the flames.

"Xungui is like this. In our Ming Dynasty, there are people more powerful than Xungui."

Shen Qian said loudly. Finally, they came to the important point, but at this time, the hall suddenly fell silent, and they did not dare to talk nonsense.

Within the scope of Ming Dynasty, what group is more powerful than Xungui?
They didn't need to think about it to know that it was the feudal king's group. Shen Qian was so stubborn that she dared to impeach the feudal king? We must know that His Majesty is still fine now. With his protective character, wouldn't it mean that Lao Zhu would be targeted when he impeached the vassal king?
Zhu Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked: "You are talking about a person more powerful than Xungui, but are you talking about the vassal king?"

"That's right!"

Shen Qian looked very selfless, upright and not afraid of death, and said solemnly: "The power of the vassal king is higher than the honor. He is in the fiefdom. It is difficult for the court to know the specific situation of the vassal king. They can do whatever they want in the fiefdom. , maybe he will go even further than Xun Gui."

Use the honorable matter to impeach the king of the vassal in the court.

What you did was a bit brave!
Those ministers did not dare to express any thoughts on this matter.

Zhu Xuan still wanted to act, pretending not to care: "Shen Qian, what you said is too serious. How could the vassal king defend the Ming Dynasty do such a random thing? Their power is relatively high, but they are all The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty will not harm the Ming Dynasty.”

Shen Qian said loudly: "Has His Highness forgotten that he concealed the land before?"

As soon as this was said, everyone nodded slightly.

Although the hiding of the land is not entirely the fault of the feudal king, it is indeed wrong for the feudal king and the Buddhist temple to mess around. This is a typical example.

"Your Highness!"

At this moment, Xie Sheng stepped forward and said: "In the thirty-sixth year of Hongwu, King Zhu Zhi of Liao indulged his soldiers and robbed the land. In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, King Zhu Gui fell in love with a woman, but the woman refused to obey him. He robbed his fiancé by force, and hung his fiancé on a tree outside the city for three days, leaving him to die in the sun. In the 30th year of Hongwu, Chu King Zhu Zhen fell in love with a strange stone, but the owner refused to give it up, so the King of Chu forcibly gave it to him. The master accused him of a crime, confiscated his house and exterminated his family, and took the strange stone as his own..."

Xie Sheng is the helper Shen Qian hired to complete the tasks assigned by Zhu Xuan.

The two of them sang in harmony and brought up the feudal king's problem.

In fact, all the things that the feudal king did were sent back by the Jin Yiwei. They all had records in the Procuratorate, but no one dared to bring them up.

In the past, Lao Zhu was in power and was more protective. If something like this happened, he would just issue an imperial edict or verbal edict and let people scold him. The Jin Yiwei did not dare to deal with it, and the Procuratorate did not dare to impeach it.

In recent years, Zhu Xuan has gradually appeared on the stage.

Due to the subtle changes in Zhu Xuan's attitude towards the feudal king, the feudal king restrained himself a lot and did not dare to do what he did before.

But I still do it, but I do it more covertly and find a scapegoat. If something goes wrong, push it out and let the scapegoat take the blame and remove the responsibility.

Those vassal kings were never fuel-efficient lamps.

They are more powerful and indeed dare to do anything. There is nothing they dare not do.

"The king of the valley, Zhu Su, forcibly imposed additional taxes on merchants going north, up to 500,000 taels a year. At the same time, he colluded with the merchants to oppress the people in Xuanfu and committed evil..."

Xie Sheng is still going on.

They took this opportunity to tell all the matters about the vassal kings that they had records in the procuratorate but did not dare to impeach.

Anyway, with Zhu Xuan's support, Zhu Yuanzhang acquiesced and prepared to beat the feudal king. They were not afraid of anything and dared to say anything.

Even if those feudal kings got angry, they would not give up. Yan Guan had a very special status in the court. You could not just kill him if you wanted to. Under normal circumstances, you could not kill Yan Guan casually.

"There is also King Ning Zhu Quan who embezzled military pay. He deducted 30% of the military pay sent by the court and left 70%. He was dragging his feet and was unwilling to distribute all the money. Many border troops were dissatisfied."

Seeing Xie Sheng finished speaking, Shen Qian added one last sentence.

However, as soon as this sentence came out, all the officials present were in an uproar. (End of chapter)
