Chapter 22: Getting Rich
After dealing with Wei Zhongxian and burying Zhu Youxiao's coffin in Deling, Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to make a windfall.
And Zhu Youzhen's start-up capital is also very simple, just a dinner party and a piece of paper.
So the next night, the lights in the Forbidden City Jianji Hall were bright, and Zhu Youzhen held a banquet here, preparing to see off those uncles and brothers who came from afar.
In order to make a fortune, Zhu Youzhen also made a bloody investment for this banquet, asking Guanglu Temple not to scruple about silver, and the imperial dining room to show the skills of housekeeping, and to let all relatives eat, drink and have fun.
For this reason, Zhu Youzhen also specially asked the Teaching Department to invite today's most popular singer.
As a result, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the vassal kings' favorability towards Zhu Youzhen, the new emperor, increased a lot.
After the nine rounds of wine, Guanglu Temple began to collect the royal lord, and then served the soup.
The vassal kings understood that the feast was coming to an end, and then they prepared to pack up and go home.
During the period of hot filial piety, the vassal kings were already choking enough, and just now they were a little caught up by the wonderful dancing of those popular singers.
So the vassal kings drank the soup and prepared to go back quickly to vent their fire, and even a few vassal kings had just colluded with the people of the Jiaofang Division, and those singers had been divided.
Just when the vassal kings got up, finally thanked Zhu Youzhen, and then turned around and was about to slap his ass and leave, Zhu Youzhen spoke.
"Uncles, slow down."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they saw Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen walking down with a tray.
"Your Majesty still has a reward?"
Everyone looked at each other with joy on their faces.
But after a while, no one could laugh.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty."
Hulala, the vassal kings who were busy going home to put out the fire just now fell to their knees at this time, and the blood was already cold and couldn't be colder anymore.
Among them, the big fat man Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was so frightened that he had fainted at this time.
It is estimated that I have high blood pressure.
On the nights of August 20, August 22, and September 1, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, secretly met with Wang Tiqian three times, secretly discussed the impeachment of the imperial history, and asked Wei Zhongxian to turn the circle on his behalf.
Zhu Zhipeng, the king of Shu, had a secret meeting with Wang Tiqian on the night of September 2, and the discussion was unknown, but he gave Wang Tiqian 20,000 taels of silver tickets.
Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, had a secret meeting with Wang Tiqian on August 30, and the discussion was unknown, but he gave Wang Tiqian 30,000 taels of silver tickets.
。。。。。。
These are all the secret meetings that Wei Zhongxian confessed before his death to incite the vassal king, and the evidence of the other vassal kings is similar to the above three.
Zhu was transcribed one by one by the inspectors, and then distributed to the vassal kings, along with Wei Zhongxian's signature.
After the imperial doctor woke up Zhu Changxun, Zhu Youzhen spoke again.
As a result, Zhu Youzhen didn't open his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Changxun fainted.
"What is the crime of a vassal king making friends with his close ministers in private?"
Zhu Youzhen's voice echoed in the Jianji Palace, and all the vassal kings were already in two wars, unable to help themselves.
"The Sect Order is here?"
Seeing that no one answered him, Zhu Youzhen ordered the current sect order - Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin.
Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, was stunned for a moment, and replied with trepidation:
"Strip the king, the king, the king, the king, the circle, the circle, the circle, the circle, the circle, the circle, the king
As soon as he finished speaking, he also fainted.
Hey, these vassal kings are really not as good as the generation.
Zhu Youzhen secretly slandered himself, and his face hated iron but not steel.
But as everyone knows, such a vassal king is a good vassal king, there are Tartars in the north of the Ming Dynasty, pirates in the south, and homeless people, so he really can't stand the toss.
"Uncles, nephews and brothers, I feel cold."
Zhu Youzhen paused, and then began to blackmail these vassal kings.
"Don't you believe me? When others clamored for two sentences, you believed it? Do you think I'll listen to those imperial historians? ”
"You are so disappointed that I am so disappointed, this world belongs to our old Zhu family, I am your own family, your brains are in water? Don't believe me, do you believe in those eunuch rebellions? ”
Zhu Youzhen said as he walked around in front of the imperial case painfully, and then scolded by name from time to time, which frightened the necks of those vassal kings.
Now that all the vassal kings are entering the palace alone, if Zhu Youzhen is ruthless and cuts them all, they have no way at all.
People are swords, I am fish and meat, and I am talking about the vassal kings who are kneeling in His Highness.
"The ministers are guilty! Ministers are guilty! ”
"The ministers were deceived by that Wei eunuch, and they fell in the way of that Wei eunuch, Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins!"
Taking advantage of Zhu Youzhen's gasping for breath, the vassal king kept kowtowing.
Suddenly, there was a knock in the Jianji Palace.
Seeing that the vassal kings were really knocking on their heads, several of them were bleeding, and Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to push it too hard, in case there were really vassal kings who couldn't hold it and were directly scared to death, then their plans would be over, and the vassal kings would really be in a hurry.
One piece and one relaxation is the way to control people.
Zhu Youzhen then waved his hand and motioned for Wang Chengen to take back the paper he had just sent.
Then in front of the vassal king, Zhu Youzhen burned all those confessions of Wei Zhongxian.
The vassal kings looked at the brazier in front of them in disbelief, and instantly understood.
"Your Majesty is merciful, and the ministers are sorry for Your Majesty."
There was another burst of bitter tears, and some vassal kings even began to slap their mouths.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly walked down the imperial steps and helped the vassal kings one by one.
"Ugh."
Inspector Zhu You sighed, and then said with a guilty face.
"They all complain about me, I don't do well as the emperor, so that all my uncles can't believe me."
When the vassal kings heard this, it was another crime.
"Don't persuade me, I do have something wrong, like the King of Liao, sealed to the bitter cold land, and there are Tartars who are wanton, the days must be bitter, I heard that there must be snow in that place for seven months a year, right?"
When Zhu Shuyan, the king of Liao, heard this, he couldn't stop his tears even more, so he had to kowtow vigorously.
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly helped up the King of Liao, turned his head and said to Zhu Luyou, the king of Jingjiang.
"King Jingjiang's life is not easy there, I heard that Guangxi is hot and humid all year round, and the miasma is rampant, and it rains every day for seven or eight months a year, and even on cloudy days, the clothes can't be dried?"
When Zhu Luyou heard this, he was busy kowtowing again.
Zhu Youzhen then pointed to a few vassal kings in remote areas, and everyone who said it was full of tears, and grievances and helplessness suddenly came to their hearts.
"Hey, it's not easy for uncles, look at this huge country for our Zhu family, I thank you today."
Saying that, Zhu Youzhen bowed deeply, so frightened that the vassal kings hurriedly knelt down and saluted back, shouting, "I can't do it, I can't do it." ”
"Make, make."
Zhu Youzhen helped up the vassal kings, and then said:
"Our great son guards the country, and the tradition of the vassal king driving the Quartet is set by our grandfather, although I am the son of heaven, but the ancestral system is still inconvenient to change."
When the vassal kings heard this, their hearts were cold again, especially the feudal kings named by Zhu Youzhen just now, and they unconsciously began to slander.
"I can't change you to say a **, look at what you just said, I thought I was going to change the fiefdom for us, grandma has a leg, and I'm happy in vain." ’
But Zhu Youzhen ignored their rapidly changing faces, paused, and said.
"Your fiefs are all ancestral systems, and I can't change them, but I have a rich business, and I want to tell your uncles that although you can't change your fiefdoms, you can help your vassal kings earn some silver and subsidize some families, I don't know what your uncles think?"
