"Son, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy? ”

Queen Zhang Yan saw that her second son was elected to inherit the throne, and she was guilty of angina.

Zhang Yan has been the crown princess for more than 20 years, and as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, she has really seen everything.

Others may not know much about Wang Xiao, but Zhang Yan is clear.

Even powerful characters like King Han and King Zhao were planted in Wang Xiao's hands, and they were single-handedly arranged by Emperor Taizong as the heir. Where can I, the second son who is not good at words, challenge?

Now that he jumped out and wanted to compete for the throne, how could Wang Xiao tolerate him!

looked at the second son who was only willing in the past, and at this time he was full of spirit and said that he wanted to inherit his father's and brother's legacy. Zhang Yan really wanted to cry and laugh again.

I want to cry, how can a character like Wang Xiao die easily. That's something that neither Han nor Zhao Wangye could do.

All of you people combined, can you compare to one hand of the Han prince?

The more you dance now, the worse you will fall in the future.

What I want to laugh at is that this throne is really magical. In the past, the second son, who didn't dare to say anything in front of his father and brother, was able to speak at this time.

After Zhu Zhanyong expressed his opinions, a group of scholars and ministers stepped forward and began to quote all kinds of scriptures, all kinds of alarmists, and all kinds of bad things were just around the corner, and they must immediately support the new emperor to ascend the throne.

The so-called momentum, simply put, is a lip service.

The turbans are the most powerful group of people in the world.

In their mouths, the Ming Dynasty at this time seemed to be about to die, and they must immediately support Zhu Zhanyong as the new emperor in order to appease the world.

If it was really an ignorant woman, Zhang Yan might really be fooled.

But she wasn't.

She is very clear-headed, and her political ability is not weak at all. It's just that because everyone from father-in-law to husband to son is a capable person, he doesn't have a chance to show it.

Now these turbans want to let her be fooled if they want to say a few words, it's really not easy.

To say that the most angry person in this hall at this time is not Zhang Yan, whose second son was used, but King Zheng.

King Zheng jumped up and down before, showing the image of an ambitious character who wants to win the heir in front of the whole world.

But when it came to the end, he was stunned to find that he was just a tricky maid!

If you want to say that King Zheng is in the mood at this time, it is really the same as diving from Mount Everest.

The embarrassed and indignant King Zheng wanted to be furious, wanted to expose the true face of these turbans in the court, wanted to scold Zhu Zhanyong for not having an X face, wanted to accuse Zhang Yan of controlling the government, and left the throne to her own son, and even wanted to lift up the robe to pour it on this hall.

But in the end, he endured everything.

Life is the best teacher in life, and those who have experienced hardships will truly grow.

King Zheng, who was once a sand sculpture, lowered his eyelids to cover his eyes full of resentment.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must take up the domain as soon as possible and choose a good place. When the time comes, he will secretly expand his power, win over those forces that originally belonged to Wang Xiao, accumulate his own strength, and so on.

Ten years of life and gathering, ten years of lessons.

At that time, Lao Tzu will also come to such a battle of martyrdom and get back everything he lost today!

If the script develops according to this plot, it is estimated that it will be a big drama in which the prince of Long Aotian counterattacks and becomes the emperor. Maybe there will be brainless women from another time and space, brainless who want to be the princess of the domineering prince or something.

It's a pity that King Zheng doesn't have the opportunity to forcibly feed the readers' eyes.

Just when the crowd in the hall was surging, and the ministers were eager to hold Zhang Yan's handwritten edict.

Outside the main hall there was a neat and dull sound of footsteps.

The eyes of the ministers subconsciously turned to the entrance of the main hall, but Zhang Yan looked thoughtfully at the many military meritorious nobles who had not said a word before.

Sure enough, these nobles who had been watching a play before all smiled. It seems that they already knew something.

There are many others who have the same outstanding political acumen and vision as Zhang Yan.

For example, the cabinet Sanyang, as well as Xia Yuanji, Wu and others can see that this matter is strange everywhere.

Even the King of Han, who can be called a masterpiece of a generation, was folded in Wang Xiao's hands, and he could be destroyed so easily?

It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, they won't believe it anyway.

Most of the turbans of the past dynasties are the same virtue as the holy fathers of the past dynasties.

But things can't overturn a boatload of people with a single shot. In every era, there are also people with outstanding character and faith.

These people did not participate in the support of Zhu Zhanyong, they were just observing, trying to find out the root of the matter.

It's just that Wang Xiao didn't show everyone a stage for himself.

When Wang Xiao, who was wearing an iron armor, walked into the hall with a saber in one hand, the people inside were really strange in their hearts, and they had all kinds of thoughts.

The generals all showed a look of relief on their faces and saluted Wang Xiao one after another.

King Zheng was full of jealousy, thinking that if he was born early, everything in Wang Xiao now belonged to him.

Zhu Zhanyong, who was still high-spirited before, trembled as if he was swinging, and his legs were weak and he collapsed directly on the ground.

Seeing Zhang Yan beckoning to him, Zhu Zhanyong, who was in the cold winter of the ninth month, seemed to have seen the warm sunshine, and even ran to Zhang Yan's side and hid under the chair without daring to lift his head.

As for those ministers, after experiencing the unspeakable silence at the beginning, the group of people led by them suddenly burst into tears.

"Prince, you can be regarded as back!"

A group of people threw themselves at Wang Xiao's feet, hissing as hard as they could, and expressed their loyalty to him with tears streaming down their faces. It's as if the people who put others to the throne before were another group of aliens.

And Wang Xiao's reaction was even more jaw-dropping, he helped everyone up with a spring breeze, and said good words to appease. It's like I don't even know what happened here.

Yang Shiqi lowered his head and sighed silently.

If Wang Xiao had a seizure on the spot, whether it was beheaded, raided or exiled, the matter could be regarded as the end of it.

But at this moment, Wang Xiao's performance is telling everyone that this matter has just begun.

After appeasing the hundred officials, Wang Xiao greeted the queen.

After a brief chat, I said goodbye and left.

Wang Xiao didn't need to say anything, as long as others appeared here, no one would be able to compete with him.

From beginning to end, Wang Xiao didn't look at Zhu Zhanyong more.

After Wang Xiao left, Zhang Yan took Zhu Zhanyong's hand and said very seriously, "Son, from today onwards, you will study in the mansion." Not a single outsider is allowed to see him, and he is not allowed to leave the house for a single step. Do you understand? ”

Zhu Zhanyong was a little confused, but he still sensed the danger approaching and decided to listen to his mother.

Wang Xiao laughed with those civil officials because he wanted to settle accounts after the autumn.

And he didn't pay attention to Zhu Zhanyong, because Zhang Yan clearly told him to protect this second son, which was angry and ignored.

As soon as he died in his life, he was already doomed the moment Wang Xiao walked into the hall.

The next thing is to go through the program.

The first thing to do is to send Emperor Hongxi to the Mausoleum.

Located at the foot of the west peak of Tianshou Mountain, the Xianling Mausoleum is the burial place of Emperor Hongxi and Empress Zhang.

Of course, at this moment, Xianling has only completed the preliminary exploration and design work, and has not started at all.

The construction of such a place as the imperial tomb will only begin after the emperor ascends the throne, and I have never heard of anyone who started to build the imperial tomb when he became the crown prince.

Emperor Hongxi only served as emperor for ten months, and he was bent on moving the capital to respond to Tianfu. Therefore, the construction of the tomb did not start at all.

The so-called burial is just a ceremony, and it will not be sent in until the actual construction of the mausoleum is completed.

Because Wang Xiao abolished the funeral system, the five concubines who were originally martyred for Zhu Gaochi in history all survived.

After doing these things, the next logical step is for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

What I did ten months ago is now being repeated, and everyone is familiar with it.

Following the world of embroidered spring knives, Wang Xiao sat on the dragon chair again, and it was also Ming's.

It's a different world, otherwise it's really a mess.

Wang Xiao also became the second emperor to ascend the throne in the Forbidden City after Zhu Gaochi.

Wang Xiao arranged so much and arranged so much before.

Now that even the big gift has been completed, then the next step should be to meet the sword soldiers.

The first to be unlucky was King Zheng, who let him jump up and down with his ambitions, and there is no one who was the queen before and is now the queen mother's mother.

King Zheng's punishment was very heavy, and he was directly demoted to a concubine, completely losing his royal status. And he was sent to the distant Qiongzhou, and he was never allowed to leave that island.

This kind of punishment is even more miserable in the eyes of King Zheng than cutting him.

After that, the unlucky one was Zhu Zhanyong, the king of Yue, who was also deprived of his royal status. It's just that he was allowed to stay in Suncheonfu.

With the care of the Queen Mother, at least food and clothing are worry-free.

Wang Xiao took advantage of this competition for the throne, and the first clear decree issued was to cut the domain.

Zhu Yuanzhang was retro and engaged in a sub-sealing system. He divided his twenty-five sons into various parts of the world as vassal kings.

This kind of behavior of turning back the clock on history naturally comes at a price.

Emperor Jianwen, who succeeded to the throne, and Emperor Yongle were busy cutting feudal domains almost all their lives.

The kings of Lu, Qin, and Jin died as early as the Hongwu period.

Emperor Jianwen cut the five kings of Zhou, Xiang, Qi, Dai and Min. When he was about to attack Zhu Di, the Battle of Jingyan broke out.

When Zhu Di raised his army, almost all the remaining kings supported him.

But when Zhu Di became the Son of Heaven, he was much more ruthless than Emperor Jianwen when he cut the domain.

Although he did not directly destroy those kings, he even restored four of the five kings who had been cut down before. However, he succeeded in using various means to recover the military power of various royal palaces, and at the same time strictly restricted their economic income and power in all aspects.

You must know that when Zhu Yuanzhang divided the kings, the royal palace soldiers were tens of thousands at every turn. The vassal kings of Bibian could even command the border army, and even the nobles of the kingdom had to be controlled by them.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also stipulated that once there are traitors in the court, all the princes must prepare for war, and as long as the Son of Heaven sends a secret edict, they must immediately raise troops to serve the king.

Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements made the vassal kings of the early Ming Dynasty have soldiers, power, money, and even righteousness.

The power is far greater than that of previous generations.

And Zhu Di spent twenty years to take away all the military money, power, and righteousness of the vassal kings, leaving only a group of waste that was fed as pigs.

Originally, everyone thought that this was the case with the Ming Dynasty's vassal policy.

But no one thought that the first thing Wang Xiao did after he ascended the throne was to cut the feudal domain again!
