The news that the former Qi kings Zhu Rong and Hanshan Marquis were successively stripped of their titles by the emperor for the unfavorable reasons of suppressing bandits, and were sent to prison and waited for death had an absolutely huge impact on the entire Ming Dynasty.

Because this is the first time since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne that he has taken out the killing authority of the emperor in the real sense.

Hasn't the emperor always been very polite to his relatives?

The Zongren Mansion was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water for several days, and even if several clan princes and vassal kings in Beijing met, they suddenly said a lot less to each other, and they all hurriedly said hello and ran away.

A few younger brothers have the heart to go to Zhu Di, hoping that Zhu Di, as the leader of the clan, can ask the emperor for a favor, isn't it just disadvantageous? It's a big deal to depose the people, relegate to the southwest, northwest and these frontiers to guard the border for a few years, and wait for a few years when the emperor's anger is gone, in the end, it is a family, and then take back to Nanjing.

"If you have a seed, go yourself."

Anything involving politics, Zhu Di will never stretch out a finger to touch the forbidden area, and in the face of the pleas of these brothers in front of him, he categorically refused without even thinking about it.

"Is it a family?"

Zhu Chun had just moved back to this Nanjing City, and the emperor took Zhu Zhen first in front of a group of clan relatives, no matter how you look at it, it made Zhu Chun and Zhu Zhen tremble in their hearts, and they had a feeling of entering the crocodile pool to die, so they naturally hoped that the clan relatives could unite and ask Zhu Yunwen for a favor to see if they could keep Zhu Zhen.

It's only been a few days since the big guys gathered in the Yanwang Mansion.

"Fourth brother, Zhu Yu, this kid has followed you to fight in the north since he was a child, and he was born and died before and after the saddle, so you have to open your mouth to protect this old relationship, right?"

Zhu Zhen also persuaded Zhu Di, hoping that the latter could remember the old relationship and come out below.

As long as Zhu Di is willing to take the lead, then they, who are clan relatives, will naturally be able to go to the emperor with one heart.

"Zhu Yu, this thing, is not good, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops can't even exterminate a few thousand rogues, and his father's face has been lost! I, as a brother, can't wait to pinch him to death, and follow me before and after the saddle? If you really want to be on the battlefield, as incompetent as him, the ruthlessness of military law would have been slashed a long time ago. ”

Seeing Zhu Di so ruthless and ruthless, the big guy was gone, and he looked at Zhu Zhi again. This King of Liao is a big red man in front of the emperor, in charge of the imperial merchants, and the trade throughout the country is amazing, and the dividends are amazing, so it should be said.

"Brother Zhi."

Zhu Chun was able to speak, and before he could say anything, Zhu Zhi stood up and yawned.

"A few brothers, my brother has been unwell recently, and he can't sit still, so he will go back to the house to rest."

After speaking, the soles of his feet were oiled and said that he would run, and Zhu Ling, Zhu Bai and others also said goodbye one after another.

Bao Zhu Rong?

What an international joke!

The big guy's life is more nourishing and nourishing now, although it is not like riding on the head of the law like in the fiefdom and vassal, and it is much more restrained in Pingsuli, but the prosperity of Nanjing is not comparable to those remote frontiers.

How rapid has Nanjing's development been in the past two years?

The merchants and opera troupes that come and go are like carp across the river, and several big green buildings are selected from all over the country to buy good girls, with money in their pockets, they have nothing to do to walk around in this Jinling City, and drink a few flower wines in the Qinhuai River, and the gentle township has already soaked the bones softly. For a brother who hasn't moved for many years to offend Zhu Yunwen, the emperor whose prestige is in the sky?

The big guy is very familiar with Zhu Rong?

"It's all gone, don't run to me if you have nothing to do, go to the Zongren Mansion if you have something."

Zhu Di unceremoniously gave the order to expel the guest, and Zhu Zhen and Zhu Chun got up with a wry smile and said goodbye. I also understood in my heart, it turned out that unconsciously, Zhu Yunwen had already lost the temper that they had suppressed by the vassal kings and princes of each town back then.

Maybe in the heart of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, since he ascended the throne, he has been thinking about which unlucky vassal king to sacrifice the flag.

In the capital, the eyes of the big guys are staring at Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, and they want to know when the latter plans to bring these two people out of the edict and behead them, and they are also concerned about these two people, as well as Kong Xifan, who is far away in Qufu, Shandong.

Shandong is the base camp of his Confucian family for thousands of years, even if there is a little bit of trouble, it is categorically impossible to hide it, Zhu Rong and Yang Wen were locked in the prisoner car with their front feet, and the eyeliner of the back foot reported the news into his Kong Xifan's ears.

What does the emperor's decree mean?

Let him Kong Xifan take full charge of the suppression of bandits?

Thinking about it, the corners of Kong Xifan's mouth hung into a smile.

This emperor is young in the end, although he relied on good luck to make good achievements in Liaodong, southwest, and southeast one after another, adding a layer of supreme prestige to his head, he was still tender and couldn't hold his breath.

"The clan relatives are heavy, now the emperor can't believe any of them, and when he arrives, the affairs of Shandong still have to rely on me."

In the Qufu County Yazhong, Kong Xifan was slightly drunk, and boasted to a few henchmen proudly: "If he knows, this bandit in Shandong is originally commanded by me Kong Xifan, and he still doesn't make his angry three corpse gods jump violently, and lead his neck to kill himself in front of Zhu Hongwu's painting, ah?" Hahahaha. ”

Let me kill myself? I'm afraid you're losing your mind.

Several of Kong Xifan's henchmen were the bandits of this group of bandits and the bandit leaders of the Qufu private army, and they all laughed out loud at the moment.

"County Zun, this emperor is unavailable, but he will entrust the tens of thousands of troops of the Shandong capital to you, let the little one say, we might as well lead the army south and attack Nanjing, and everyone will push you to be the emperor at that time."

In the back hall, there was a deathly silence.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the bandit leader who said this was slapped by Kong Xifan and fell to the ground.

Kong Xifan's face was as cold as ice, and he gritted his teeth: "If you drink too much, get out, otherwise if you talk too much nonsense, Lao Tzu will skin you alive!" ”

Could it be that this Kong Xifan is still a loyal minister?

Of course, this group of bandits and rogues would not think that Kong Xifan had a temper because of the rebellion, and he was angry purely because of the last sentence.

Push him Kong Xifan to be the emperor? What about the Holy Father?

This Kong family, who said that he didn't count it?

"Get up and eat honestly."

Kong Xifan shook his robe, sat back in his place, and pinched the wine glass: "Everyone, drink together." ”

Several bandits were frightened, and they were busy smiling and drinking with a glass, and it was the drunken and reckless man who had been slapped in the face, and at this time he also woke up, and sat trembling like a quail.

"Don't look at the emperor who gave us these hundreds of thousands of troops, it's useless."

Kong Xifan sneered disdainfully: "This is all his Zhu family's private army, these years Nanjing Zhongjun preaching has been hot, so he sent a few portraits to the emperor to send to the barracks, and the soldiers up and down all took the emperor as their own father, against him?" Don't you think you're dying fast enough? ”

The emperor is still not to be underestimated.

Although Kong Xifan's eyes were drunk and hazy, his heart has always been the same as that of Ming Spiegel: "Back then, our emperor was still a child, and when he was the grandson, he looked very well-behaved, why did he grow crooked in the past two years?"

I asked Huang Zicheng to persuade him to cut the domain, it was all very smooth, just waiting for him to ascend the throne, stirring up the world's vassal kings, we are arranging someone to help him quell the rebellion of the vassal kings, and cut off the heads of those clan relatives, who else can he, the emperor, rely on in the court?

Only the disciples of my Confucian family can help him rule the world, he will be the emperor, and the Holy Father will be the hidden emperor! Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard to fight the country, didn't it end up in our hands? ”

Speaking of this, Kong Xifan sighed: "Huang Zicheng is a waste, and Qi Tai is also a waste!" I can't even teach a child well, I said it, let Zhu Yunwen go to Zhu Hongwu's side less, you see now, it is estimated that Zhu Hongwu has opened a small stove for his grandson in private, and he can learn from Zhu Hongwu that he can live in the main town, and it has delayed the situation of my Kong family for decades in vain. ”

The emperor is only in his twenties this year, and in which year and month did he die?

"I asked Tyrant Zhao to persuade the emperor to appoint the crown prince, but there is no letter until now, alas."

Kong Xifan shook his head in annoyance, and was about to raise a cup to drink again, when he saw someone running in in a panic and kneeling at the threshold.

"County Honor, the Holy Father wants to see you."

Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, what a big deal, the Holy Father showed up?
