Chapter Twenty-Eight: Zhu Jianjun's First Contact with Power

At this meeting, many people were very confused.

For so many days, except for the days when the prince had just arrived, these people were nervous for a while, and then they found out that the prince seemed to be a torii.

Hardly express your own opinions.

Always an indifferent bystander.

I don't know what happened this time.

Soon they knew.

Zhu Jianjun didn't let them delay for long, and after the people arrived, he nodded and began to speak, saying: "Before leaving Beijing, Your Majesty held a lonely hand and said: 'When you go to various places, you must take loving the people as the first priority. 'I dare not forget for a while, the Yao people in the Dateng Gorge are unruly and have many incidents, but they are still the people of the court, and they were just chaotic at the head of the canal before, and now it is time to put things right. ”

Zhu Jianjun looked at Ye Sheng again and said, "Governor Ye, let's talk about it." ”

Zhu Jianjun tried his best to imitate his father in every move. Speak up, take the lead, set the tone, and let the rest be done by the people below.

Ye Sheng had a trace of excitement in his heart.

His excitement was not that Zhu Jianjun adopted his opinion, but that he climbed to the crown prince.

Since then, even if he doesn't say it, he has been labeled as a prince.

As a member of the prince's palace, the benefits are naturally inexhaustible.

He immediately got up and told the whole story of his plan.

It's just that Ye Sheng is not a smart person present. The generals led by Mao Sheng are all better than monkeys. Especially Mao Sheng, how many years of old fritters.

Of course, he was not very happy with the situation.

After all, in this way, it weakened their military exploits.

But compared to the military exploits of a small Da Tengxia, it is needless to say that it is important to have a good relationship with the crown prince, that is, the future emperor.

Mao Sheng is old, and when the prince ascends the throne, it is estimated that he will be gone, but his sons are still there.

Therefore, almost after Ye Sheng finished speaking, he clapped his hands in approval.

With Mao Sheng's support, the generals below did not dare to disobey their top bosses, and for a time this meeting was a unity meeting and a victorious meeting.

Zhu Jianjun also felt the wonderful taste of power for the first time.

Every one of the people sitting here is a big man on the outside, but the feeling of having all of them obey his will is really an indescribable feeling.

This sense of domination and conquest is more intoxicating to men than women.

Teenagers are greedy for beauty, and middle-aged and elderly people are greedy for power.

Of course, Zhu Jianjun did not forget, and after that, he sent a letter to Zhu Qizhen, explaining all the causes and consequences.

This is also what Zhu Jianjun weighed.

Use this one thing to test the degree of indulgence of his father. It is impossible for him not to play, even if he does not play, Jinyiwei and even generals at all levels will play.

After all, the crown prince is just the crown prince. Now he is still the orthodox emperor in Beijing.

Before the emperor's approval did not return. Zhu Jianjun summoned Hou Dagou again.

In the past few days, Hou Dagou has aged by more than ten years.

Hou Dagou was only in his forties, but he was as old as if he was sixty years old, and during this period of time, he was more than ten years old.

He looked like an eighty-year-old man, with hair like snow.

The reason why this is so is not that the people below are abusing him. After all, Zhu Jianjun spoke. The people below didn't dare to deal with him either. It is the torment in Hou Dagou's heart.

When Hou Dagou was captured, he was expected to die, and he was also prepared to end himself.

But at this moment, after meeting Zhu Jianjun that day, he was struggling between life and death.

The reason why he wanted to die was because of his hatred for the court and the Han people, and this hatred made him not want the Han people to make a fuss about him, so he naturally wanted to die. Dead is naturally a hundred.

But the reason why he didn't want to die was that he saw the possibility of letting his people live.

After all, no matter how much hatred there is, what about a sea of blood feud? The living always make it their first priority to be alive.

Even if his father and brother are in the spirit of heaven, they also hope that the children in the village can live safely like Han children, instead of competing with wild beasts in the deep mountains and old forests.

He hadn't seen that possibility before.

But now he saw it.

Because of this so-called prince.

For ordinary people, the emperor and even the crown prince have a kind of sacredness.

The same is true for Hou Dagou.

He wondered for a moment whether this prince was a fake and lied to me. Another moment I thought, who am I, as for making up a prince to deceive me?

If this prince is real, it seems that he will not lie to me.

After a while, I wondered, was it the prince's change of mind in the past few days?

If you are disturbed, I don't know how many thoughts rush into your heart, and between gains and losses, Hou Dagou, who is already very old-looking, will become even older.

In short, personally, he is not afraid of death, but he wants more Yao people to live.

At this moment, the prince summoned him, and his heart settled down. For him, life or death is this one.

Zhu Jianjun saw Hou Dagou and immediately asked Yu Mian to take a document and hand it to Hou Dagou.

Hou Dagou took it, but it was a canonization document, with a blank space on it, which seemed to ask him to fill in his name. He looked carefully, but it was Wujing Prefecture Tusi.

There are also the following clauses.

Hou Dagou raised his head and said, "Where is this Wujing Prefecture?" ”

Yu Mian said: "In Bixi, as long as you agree, in the future, you will be the Tusi of Wujing Prefecture, and the Yao people in Dateng Gorge, all of which are under your jurisdiction, hereditary disregard, and the glory and wealth are inexhaustible." ”

Hou Dagou sneered and said, "Bixi was originally the land of my Yao people for generations, but now it is occupied by you, and you are still used to seal it for me?" ”

"Isn't it ridiculous."

Yu Mian didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Mao sneered and said: "It's not ridiculous, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, what yours and mine, the court says it's yours, it's yours, the court says it's not yours, it's not yours." ”

"Bixi is under the jurisdiction of my Ming Guangxi political envoy, if you think he is yours, let someone take it."

Zhang Mao has always shown the appearance of a humble gentleman by Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Jianjun's side, but don't forget that he is the grandson of Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian, and the son of Zhang Fu, the British duke. He was born in Jiangmen, and he has received the most orthodox Jiangmen education since he was a child. It seems that he is a humble gentleman, and if he really gives him a knife, there are many guards around Zhu Jianjun, and he may not be his opponent.

Not to mention, his family has a family background, and it is one thing to agree to appease the Yao people of Datengxia, but he does not allow these people to not know how many taels he has.

In a word, Hou Dagou's face turned red, and he said for a while: "You Han people are so domineering." ”

Zhang Mao said: "No, it's just that you mountain and wild people don't know the royal way, so you can only give some domineering." I might as well make it clear to you, the court doesn't care about you projectile lands, it's just that you are troublesome, so I sealed a few toasts to manage it. As long as the Yao people don't go down the mountain, the court doesn't care what you do in the mountains. ”

"Even after opening up the Qianjiang River waterway, all kinds of goods have passed through here, and the imperial court acquiesces to you to set up a card to collect taxes, but this price cannot exceed the imperial court's regular tax, that is, one-thirtieth."

"Even if this money is subsidized to you by the imperial court, as long as you have a good life in the future, your Hou family will be able to be in Bixi for generations in the future, otherwise, I will also let your Hou family be underground in Bixi for generations."

"Each other's things can be regarded as extremely generous, if you don't agree, someone will agree, and the person you said promised will stay in your Hou family?"

This sentence made Hou Dagou shocked.

It is true that under the pressure of the imperial court, the Yao people gathered together to keep warm, but it does not mean that the alliance of the Yao people is unbreakable.

The reason why Hou Dagou's Hou family can become the most powerful family in Datengxia may not be without some of his actions in the position of alliance leader.

No matter who replaces the Hou family after taking the throne, even if it is to show loyalty to the court, the Hou family will be exterminated, indicating that it will be cut off from before.

What will happen to the Hou family at that time? It is even more unthinkable.

Hou Dagou closed his eyes painfully and said, "I promise." ”
