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

Chapter 730 Joining the Alliance
  "How could we be so aggrieved?"

Zhu Gaosui felt dissatisfied first and did not want to hand over everything, let alone please others.

As the grandsons of the Ming Dynasty, they have a distinguished status, and they are used to being in power in Peiping, so their minds are a little wandering. Now they have the idea of ​​​​not taking anyone else into consideration except Lao Zhu.

"If you don't do this, the plan of your two highnesses will completely fail, and your lives may even be in danger, which will implicate King Yan and the princess. Is this what you want?"

Han Jun asked rhetorically.

Of course this is not what they want, but if they don't do this, there seems to be no other way.

If Jin Yiwei fails to cooperate, they will be unable to bear the consequences.

Zhu Gaosui wanted to say a few words unhappily, but Zhu Gaoxu interrupted: "Lao San, I think Mr. Han is right. You must endure it when necessary. Let's do this for the time being!"

"That's how you two should be."

Han Jun said calmly: "I will give you two a plan later. In addition, Zhu Gaochi must be under control and don't let him do anything else."

"Of course we know."

Zhu Gaoxu affirmed.

After the three people discussed it, Han Jun quickly went down.

At the same time, Zhu Gaochi also got the relevant news. He frowned and thought: "If Grandpa Huang wants to investigate us, he will definitely ask the Jin Yiwei to investigate. What should I do to spread the word about what happened in Peking?"

As long as the little cousin knows the current situation in Peiping, he will definitely take action.

If he doesn't do this, if things happen in the future, they may not even be able to leave any descendants of Yan Fan.

Thinking of the nonsense of his two younger brothers, Zhu Gaochi wanted to slap them hard.

Except for Yan Fan, the other vassal kings felt bad after receiving the news.

There are also many vassal kings, like Zhu Zhen, who complain in court and then oppose them through the humiliation. They don't want to care about the behavior of noble officials, they just want to ensure their own interests.

However, either he didn't get a response, or he was scolded severely by Lao Zhu in the memorial he reviewed.

The feudal king was helpless, and others were helpless.

-

Wuchang.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the leader of Wu, established his capital in Ezhou and renamed it Wuchang, which means prosperity through military force.

The vassal territory of Chu King Zhu Zhen is here. He is different from those vassal kings who only know how to have fun. He is a vassal king who can fight, which perfectly fits the requirements of prosperity through force.

Not long after he first came to Wuchang, Zhu Zhen pacified the Dayong barbarians, and then worked with Tang He and Zhou Dexing to quell the barbarian rebellions of Tongguwei and Sizhou, and later wiped out the Huguang barbarians.

In the Huguang area, it has a certain prestige.

Under Zhu Zhen, in addition to his own three guards, he can also manage all local guards.

They belong to a type of vassal kings who have many soldiers and generals and are good at fighting, just like Zhu Di and Zhu Quan. However, Zhu Quan and the others guard the northern frontier, while Zhu Zhen is responsible for guarding the barbarians and natives in the south.

The relationship between Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di is also quite good.

Lao Zhu's investigation will of course fall on Zhu Zhen. He usually annexes land, evades taxes, etc. in Wuchang and other places. He has done all the things he shouldn't have done.

After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's order to thoroughly investigate the matter, Zhu Zhen felt very bad and immediately sent the memorial back to do misfortune. However, what he got was a scolding from Lao Zhu, which made his face turn red.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored his objections and insisted on taking action against the vassal king, which made Zhu Zhen very dissatisfied and clenched his hands into fists, but he could do nothing. “Has your Highness received a response?”

In front of Zhu Zhen, there was also a monk sitting.

He has an incense scar on his bald head, wears a cassock, and has Buddhist beads. He is an out-and-out monk, but this monk is also very unruly. He eats meat and drinks wine, is ruthless, and dares to do anything.

This monk is none other than Yao Guangxiao.

After persuading Zhu Wei to join the vassal alliance, Yao Guangxiao was still worried about how to convince other vassal kings, when the imperial court came out with this decree. For him, it was almost like providing help in a timely manner. He could use this opportunity and reason to do what he wanted to do. things.

"The whole thing was discovered by Zhu Yunxuan when he went back to Fengyang to worship his ancestors. He then reported it to His Majesty, so he used such drastic measures."

"According to my guess about His Majesty, he will definitely protect you from the beginning. He doesn't want to investigate you, but just wants to turn a blind eye. After all, you are his own descendants. Unlike other nobles, he is not willing to be cruel. Check it?"

"Your Majesty thinks so, but Zhu Yunxuan may not necessarily think so."

"Zhu Yunxuan is very afraid of your highness, your vassal king. His highness, King Yan, has been turned into a commoner by him."

"Your Majesty will conduct a strict investigation. There must be Zhu Yunxuan behind it. Your Highness, King Chu, just imagine that he has been so cruel to you before he became the emperor. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely cut down the vassal and leave you with nothing."

"If we simply cut the vassalage, it might be okay. But I'm afraid that when we cut the vassalage, I might do something bad, such as killing people, or use various means to force you to death. It's not impossible."

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu doesn't want to think that the family fortune he has worked hard for in Chu will be completely lost, right?"

"Don't want to hand over military power and let it be slaughtered and manipulated by Zhu Yunxuan?"

Yao Guangxiao's words have a certain temptation for Zhu Zhen.

And he also felt that Yao Guangxiao was right. Zhu Xuan was so cruel to their uncles before he became emperor. If he became emperor, it might be a better end to cut down the vassal vassal.

The feeling of threat filled his whole body.

Zhu Zhen felt scared and asked: "So you came to convince me to help you rebel? My fourth brother used to trust you, but your fourth brother was forced to be a commoner by you. How can I trust you?"

He was moved, but he was also full of fear towards Yao Guangxiao.

This bad monk has done so many things. He has absolutely no good intentions, does not do good things, and is full of bad intentions.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Yan, has been kind to me."

Yao Guangxiao recited a Buddha's name, and then said slowly: "I am doing this now just to avenge His Highness King Yan. There is no need for His Highness King Chu to worry! His Highness King Yan's failure was just because he was not sufficiently prepared."

Zhu Zhen asked: "How can we be fully prepared?"

He looked straight at Yao Guangxiao.

"Before coming to Wuchang, I met His Highness King Zhou and he agreed."

Yao Guangxiao's words made Zhu Zhen open his mouth in surprise. He felt that Yao Guangxiao must have some intention to avoid doing good things, and it was not just as simple as avenging Zhu Di.

"I have received an order from His Highness King Yan to form an alliance of vassals for him." Yao Guangxiao said again.

Zhu Di had never issued such an order, but Yao Guangxiao borrowed Zhu Di's name, and the effect was still there.

"alliance?"

Zhu Zhen narrowed his eyes and felt that Yao Guangxiao and the others were playing a big game. Are they trying to involve all the Ming vassals?
  "Your Highness, don't worry. I don't want to harm you, nor do I mean to implicate all the vassal kings, nor am I going to be disadvantageous to you. I just want to work with His Highness, King Yan, to lead you to resist, that's all."

Yao Guangxiao seemed to see through Zhu Zhen's worries, looked directly at Zhu Zhen, and said: "Your Highness doesn't want to be cut off from the vassal, or even be tortured to death by Zhu Yunxuan, right?"
