Anding Palace, the main hall of Zhu Guobi's Funing Houfu in the past, was full of nobles and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, all of whom were shocked.

"Your Majesty, why did you say this..."

Even Xu Hongji couldn't guess it, he didn't know what the Emperor of the Apocalypse was thinking at the moment.

Zhao Zhilong was the calmest among all the nobles, he held the wine glass in his hand and took a sip into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, he was choked by the wine and kept lying on the table coughing.

Wang Chaofu stood at the door of the Anding Hall and watched coldly.

The inner eunuchs were amazed when they saw that these nobles with transcendent status were frightened like children by the emperor's words, and they didn't even dare to say a word.

The kung fu of one day, the emperor's power, and the weakness and grievances of the nobles have all taught them these eunuchs to understand it.

The nobles were silent for a long time, they all slowly put down the wine glasses in their hands, retreated to the sides, looked at the mess in the hall, and remained silent.

Zhu Youxiaotong's eyes were red, he raised his head suddenly, and reprimanded:

"At this moment, you are singing, dancing, and indulging in sensuality, but the Liaodong Border Army is fighting to the death with the Jiannu army in Liaoshen!"

"Since the sudden collapse of the first emperor and my accession to the throne, there has not been a day when I have lived like this, and I have not been terrified for a day..."

"It's just because I know that the soldiers of the border army in Liaodong have died in battle all the time!"

Zhu Youxiao said here, anger has become sadness, his voice is hoarse, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, looking around at the nobles under the steps.

"Since the rise of the Jiannu and the occupation of Liaodi, the people of Liaodong are in dire straits, and the officers and men of our border army often flee from the wind, and there are few who are at the edge of the line."

"Xiong Tingbi has been in Liao for several years, and his strategic scheduling, commanding troops and leading generals can be called well-organized, and he has repeatedly broken the soldiers of Jiannu, and tens of thousands of people have been enslaved by tens of thousands of people, which is why there is now Liaoshen's second year of peace."

"The people of Liaodong have rumors with each other, Xiong Tingbi's voice is so prestigious, and it is still awe-inspiring... Live up to my high expectations..."

Zhu Youxiao turned his words, stared at the speechless nobles at the bottom of the stairs, and said:

"But you and others, often boast of being the founding martial arts, every day and day after the dogs and horses, do not practice martial arts, do not know the battle, what is the use of commanding the army!"

"Could it be that you really think that I don't know, what kind of situation has the armament of this Nanzhili been slackened?"

"It's better to give up the military power as soon as possible, go back to their respective mansions, buy more good land and beautiful houses, buy some singers, drink and enjoy each other day and night, and live all year round."

Zhu Youxiao finally raised his head, looked at Xu Wenjue, the Duke of Wei, with blood-red eyes, and asked with a sneer: "What do you think of my proposal?" ”

Zhu Xungui looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and all set their eyes on Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei at the forefront, hoping that he could come up with an idea.

Xu Hongji didn't expect that the Emperor of the Apocalypse called them here today and held a banquet, and he actually wanted to play Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release the military power!

When he heard that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had summoned him, Zhu Xungui had already guessed that the emperor might be trying to save face for Zhu Guobi's rebellion.

The way to deal with it is also very simple, only the four words "the law does not blame the public".

If the nobles were to eat to death with an attitude of huddle together, Zhu Youxiao would not seem to have any way except to turn his face directly and then use troops to forcibly take it down.

Today's outing is to distract their attention, and then put forward a seemingly real condition, as long as the nobles hand over the military power, they are not at their own disposal.

Zhu Youxiao sat in the first place, quietly waiting for the reaction of the nobles.

Xu Hongji was covered in cold sweat, he didn't expect the emperor to have this trick, but for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

These nobles present are not monolithic, they easily oppose the emperor, in case someone does not follow, wouldn't they lift a stone and hit themselves in the foot.

But if you are completely soft, you will definitely lose your majesty among the nobles.

Xu Hongji's brain turned for a moment, and he suddenly smiled with relief, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Minister... For the heroic soul of the border army soldiers in Liaodong, thank Your Majesty Longen! ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and didn't reply, the meaning was obvious, he just wanted him to make an explanation.

At the end of the banquet, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly had a showdown, and Xu Hongji knew in his heart that around the current palace, he was afraid that the elite soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion had already been arranged.

If you dare to say nothing, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Guogong, who looked uncertain at the bottom of the stairs, and sneered, calling them over this time was already preparing for the worst.

In case these nobles die without repentance, relying on the many people to resist and disobey the order, then the "cup of wine to release the military power" will directly become the "Hongmen Banquet", so that they will have no return!

Of course, killing so many descendants of nobles at one time will definitely cause an uproar inside and out, but these Zhu Youxiao don't care.

No matter how the court fluctuates, it is pressed by Wei Zhongxian, and the current situation in the court is actually no longer turbulent.

In the outward market, there will be fierce turmoil at first, and the people will not understand why they are doing this, but this is not directly related to them after all.

After a long time, "Beijing Daily" can shake out all the things of Xungui, let the black become white, and let himself continue to represent justice.

This time, it is not the goal to clean up the Xungui group, Zhu Youxiao's real purpose is to use the southern tour to recover the military power that has long been lost in the Jiangnan area.

Therefore, until the end, there is no need to tear up with the Xunqi group, they still have usable value, and their influence in the local area is still not low.

If there is turmoil, we will use troops, and if we use troops, we will need to spend a lot of money, and we will have to lose troops and population.

The best result this time was that the nobles relented and successfully regained their military power.

Of course, after this, Zhu Youxiao gave grace to some of the nobles who really wanted to do things, in order to appease them, and then simmered the ones who would only enjoy the incompetence, and boiled them to death little by little.

Zhu Youxiao got up, walked up to Xu Hongji, said a few words of relief softly, suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice:

"Wei Guogong, are you loyal to me?"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked coldly, not knowing the reason, which made Xu Hongji's heart startled, thinking that the last moment had come, and said without repeating his defense:

"The ancestors of the ministers were on the body of grass mustard, and they were graced by the ancestors, and now they are favored by His Majesty and the first emperor, and they dare not live up to it."

Zhu Youxiao heard the softness in Xu Hongji's words, smiled slightly, helped him up, patted the dust off his body, pulled him to the bottom of the imperial steps, and said:

"What do you mean?"

Even Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, has already expressed his heart, and no matter what Zhu Xungui thinks in his heart, he naturally does not dare to be this up-and-coming bird.

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, and the emperor's attitude was so resolute, all the nobles hesitated for a while, but they were helpless, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison:

"The ministers are willing to smear your majesty's liver and brain, and after death, you will ——!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed, ordered everyone to be flat, and when he sat back on the throne, it was already a spring breeze, and he called for his loyalty.

At that moment, Zhu Youxiao issued another edict and ordered the internal supervisor to resume the banquet.

The attendants who had just retired re-entered the hall one after another, and the two teams of dancing girls floated to the middle of the Anding Palace, converged, and then began to dance.

They suddenly parted and flickered, accompanied by the melodious flute sound of the troupe, as if bringing the nobles into a confusing fairyland.

After a while, as soon as the music sounded, two red-clothed women floated out from each side, but I saw that they had bright eyes and bright teeth, looking forward to the brilliance, the willow waist was swaying, and the dance steps were flying.

All the nobles are somewhat knowledgeable, and they can see at a glance that these two women in red must be the top Yan Ji of Qin Huai Tower.

Xu Hongji glanced at his eyes, and found that all the inner prisoners in front of the hall were missing at this moment, and he hesitated in his heart.

It can be seen from this that the Emperor of the Apocalypse above has indeed made two preparations today.

Just as he was thinking, the white-clothed women in the hall were divided and reunited, suddenly like the stars and the moon, suddenly like a group of heroes, gathered around the two red-clothed women, as if they were about to leave.

This time, Zhu Xungui was very dull, and he didn't have the heart to have fun.

It's not that they're sad, it's just that after today, they always feel that the Emperor of the Apocalypse in front of them, who is laughing all over his face, is really calm and frightening...
