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

Chapter 729 The feudal king also investigates
  The matter of rectifying Buddhism was thus determined and implemented immediately.

Executed throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was very resolute and he did not allow anyone to object. Even if the people or Buddhists wanted to object, it would be of no use. Lao Zhu became stronger, but he didn't care so much.

Anyone who dares to disobey will be either captured or killed.

After the morning court, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xuan back. In addition to arranging the rectification of Buddhism, there were also matters concerning the vassal king.

As the news spread, the opposition from the vassal kings became more intense. Within a short period of time, vassal kings not far from Yingtian had come back with memorials one after another. For example, Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu in Wuchang, directly asked people to take a boat along. Jiang Shui came back and delivered the memorial to Lao Zhu as quickly as possible.

What Zhu Zhen wanted to express was, of course, his opposition, but he did not dare to oppose it openly. Instead, he showed off his pity, saying how hard it was to live in Wuchang, how much food was needed to raise and train soldiers, and how he could not eat at all if he did not evade taxes, etc. .

He also owns a lot of land and works in collusion with the local Buddhist temple.

Of course, I don't want to carry this measure through to the end. I have to fight for my own interests.

"Bastard!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading Zhu Zhen's memorial, he slapped the table hard and couldn't help but curse.

Zhu Xuan looked at it and said, "Uncle Six, this is nonsense."

There are many similar memorials.

However, most of them were not from feudal lords, but from other officials, landowners and wealthy families.

There are still many memorials from the vassal king that are too late to be sent back, but they will send them back to object, and it is only a matter of time. This decree of rectification and strict investigation can offend many people.

Zhu Xuan must have offended his imperial uncle quite a lot.

Even if those imperial uncles want to rebel, he thinks it is not impossible, but now Lao Zhu is suppressing them, so that they dare not have such an idea.

Other people who had thoughts of rebellion and wanted to rise up to resist this decree had long been strangled in the cradle by Lao Zhu.

"My dear grandson thinks, what should we do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Zhu Xuan thought for a while and said: "Since Uncle Liu said he can't afford food, then his grandson will help him raise the soldiers in Chu District. Grandson will pay for all the military pay and rations himself. Uncle Sixth will be self-sufficient in his fields in Chu District." , You don’t need to raise troops, so you naturally don’t need so many fields.”

His idea was also very direct. He had the right to distribute military pay and rations to the soldiers in the Chu District.

If Zhu Zhen wants to do something in the future, he can make the soldiers in the Chu Guard Station deprived of food with just one order, unless Zhu Zhen secretly hides a lot of grain, or annexes or conceals more land without being discovered by the court.

Zhu Xuan even wondered whether this approach would force the imperial uncles to rebel.

If he rebelled, many things would be easier for him to handle.

There is no need to think of ways to reduce vassal vassals and implement grace orders.

Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang understand his sweet grandson's thoughts? He pondered for a while, clapped his hands and said, "Then do as your sweet grandson said. Those bastards take our tolerance for them as connivance, hum!"

Those bastard sons really gave him a headache, all of them.

"This matter must be pushed forward to the end."

"No matter who comes, they can't stop them. If we don't kill a lot of people, we're already giving them face."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the rest of the memorial and cursed again.

Many officials, and even nobles, presented their memorials, defending themselves and at the same time objecting in subtle ways in an attempt to change Lao Zhu's mind.

If Lao Zhu could change, then he would no longer be the emperor who only knew how to serve the people.

Zhu Xuan said softly: "Grandpa Huang, calm down, they are just struggling helplessly like this."

They threw all this part of the memorial aside, without even wanting to take another look at it, and then dealt with other matters and made arrangements for Xu Miaojin and the others to enter the palace.

-

"Even the vassal king is investigating?" When Zhu Di got the news, he said in surprise: "My little nephew discovered this matter, and he must be the one behind it. For the sake of that child, my father has to be strict with his other children and grandchildren." check."

He didn't know how bitter this sentence was.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was a super protective person.

King Qin had done so many bastard things, but Zhu Yuanzhang thought he couldn't see it, and Zhu Di was ready to rebel. In the end, he could still be a commoner without having his whole family beheaded. These are all manifestations of protecting the calf.

Now for Zhu Xuan, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer protects his calf.

It is impossible for Zhu Di not to be bitter.

"Husband."

Xu Miaoyun said resentfully: "You are talking nonsense again. What if there are Jin Yiwei watching nearby and let them hear you?"

“If you hear it, hear it.”

Zhu Di snorted lightly, but did not dare to talk about Zhu Xuan anymore, and said: "We are in Peiping, it seems to be clean, right?"

Xu Miaoyun shook his head and said: "You have always been in charge of our home in Beiping. How could I know so much? But with the boss in Beiping, even if there is something dirty, he would have taken it out long ago. The boss is not like you."

Zhu Gaochi has a reputation for kindness, and he also knows how to size up situations and opportunities, and knows what should be done and what should not be done.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di thought it made some sense and said fondly: "We have been away from Peiping for a long time. I don't know what the boss and the others are doing. I hope nothing happens in Peiping."

He can trust Zhu Gaochi, but he does not trust Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

The second and third children can do anything.

"Father won't let us go back."

Xu Miaoyun said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. If we go back, won't we cause trouble for the boss and the others? It's better not to go back, isn't it?"

Zhu Di sighed: "What you said makes sense. We are common people, so we should do things like common people!"

When you are in Shuntian, there is no need to worry about things so far away from Peking.

But their worries are actually necessary.

At this time in Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping, brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui felt a little restless.

"Grandpa Huang is going to check on us."

Zhu Gaoxu said worriedly: "It's all Zhu Yunxuan, why is he doing so many things when he has nothing to do? Grandpa Huang is coming to investigate, what should we do?"

What he is worried about is not the problems of those fields.

But they were worried that if the court came to investigate, it would be easy to find out what they had done.

However, Yan Fan also had some fields that were hidden by them. Zhu Di did not do this, and neither did Zhu Gaochi. This was done by Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, and the purpose was naturally to save more military rations.

They want to raise troops and cannot lack military rations.

Although it can be grown in grasslands, Liaodong and other places, the more military rations, the better.

"Your Highness, please be quiet."

Han Jun said calmly: "The imperial court asked the Jin Yiwei to investigate, so let them investigate, but the attitude must be correct."

"How to behave properly?"

Zhu Gaosui asked.

Han Jun said: "Take the initiative to admit your mistakes, cooperate actively, hand over our fields, pay all the taxes owed, and take the initiative to sue other wealthy landlords who conceal their land. Doing this will save a lot of trouble for those who come to investigate. Coax them well and control your big brother, and then everything will be fine."

This is a relatively stable approach for them.
