After saying a sonorous and powerful speech, Chongzhen continued: "In front of this hall, there are a total of twelve kneeling statues, among which there are Bank of China said, Qin Hui, and Fan Wencheng, the dog traitor!"

I am not afraid of being written as a tyrant by history. I will tell you today that this Fan Wencheng has been cast into this kneeling statue by me with molten iron, thinking that the traitor will be on guard in the future! ”

After saying a sonorous and powerful speech, Chongzhen led the civil and military officials to leave.

It's just that after Chongzhen left, the people left behind were like pouring water into a hot oil pot, and it boiled in an instant.

The crowd exchanged heads and talked non-stop, but the faces of a few people were unusual.

A strange-looking man, who was the man who slapped a scholar in Xuanfu before, led a six or seven-year-old child by his side, and said to the child: "Let's go, let's go home, pack up and go to Liaodong." ”

The kid was alert, and whispered, "Dad, aren't we going to prepare something about that?" ”

The man said, "No." This son of heaven is a lover of the people, and he should be in charge of the Zhu family for ten thousand years. Let's call the men and horses to go to Liaodong to join Mao Wenlong, and it is the same to fight in the army. ”

The boy was quite sensible, and when he heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and left with the man.

The other two, a scholar and a strong man, were staring at Fan Wencheng's kneeling statue with dead eyes, and one of them gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's go back!" ”

After saying that, instead of spitting like those kneeling statues like the other people, the two turned around together, squeezed out the crowd, and went straight back to the inn.

After arriving at the inn, the Confucian student whispered to the strong man: "You don't need to look for it this time." Mr. Fan is now kneeling in the Martyrs' Shrine. You and I will return to Liaodong, but report to the Great Khan. ”

The man snorted, lowered his voice and scolded: "The barbarian emperor of the dog day! It's brutal! It caused Lao Tzu to go back and be reprimanded by the Great Khan. ”

When the Confucian heard this, he smiled and said, "Isn't this right? Such tyrants will inevitably be unpopular with the people, and when our Dajin soldiers enter the customs, I am afraid that the people will eat pot pulp to welcome the king. ”

The strong man snorted, but in his heart he secretly scolded this cheap Han dog, who is my big gold and my big gold, you need to know that this big gold is our man, but it is not a Han dog like you!

Although they scolded secretly in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces, so the two began to pack up their things and prepare to leave the capital and return to Liaodong.

Even when these people with different thoughts went to work separately, Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to the Forbidden City, took a bath, recuperated his spirits, and prepared for the "family banquet" in the evening.

Until the evening, the vassal kings from all over the world arrived in the palace. The princesses of the vassal kings were all handed over to Empress Zhang of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Zhou of the Chongzhen Emperor to receive them, and the vassal kings accompanied Chongzhen to drink and feast together.

After three rounds of drinking, Chongzhen clapped his hands, and the singing and dancing stopped, and after the musicians and the dancing palace maids retreated, Chongzhen signaled to Wang Chengen.

It wasn't until the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace withdrew and went outside the hall, leaving only Wang Chengen alone, that Chongzhen looked at the vassal king in the palace.

Many vassal kings said "here" in their hearts, knowing that Chongzhen had something to say, but they didn't know what tricks they would do.

Sure enough, Chongzhen spoke: "Among you here, there are my uncles, my brothers, and my sons and nephews.

I have some heart-wrenching words today that I want to say. At this moment, there are no outsiders in the hall, no matter what you say, it is our family's business. ”

All the vassal kings were polite, saying that they must closely surround Chongzhen's side and be a good patriotic vassal king.

Chongzhen ignored it, and just asked, "I have a question in my heart, and I want to ask all my uncles and brothers.

Emperor Taizu Hongwu divided the feudal domains, for what? ”

The vassal kings looked at each other, and no one could figure out what Chongzhen was thinking.

In fact, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, the vassal kings everywhere have soldiers and generals, and when the king said it, it was not a joke.

For example, before Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was martyred, he was one of them and was named King Yan.

In Cai Zhu's thoughts, the kings of all places have a force, even if one day the emperor of the Ming Dynasty drops the chain and is about to lose the country, the kings can be the king.

Even if the kings became emperors themselves, wouldn't this meat still rot in the pot? In the end, this world is still the world of the Zhu family.

It's just that what Comrade Lao Zhu didn't expect was that not long after his death, Zhu Yunwen, the Jianwen Emperor who was fooled and lame by the civil officials, was mentally retarded and was about to cut down the domain, which led Zhu Di to engage in the Battle of Jingjing, and by the way, he took the country from his nephew.

It's just that after Zhu Di became the emperor, he thought the same as Emperor Jianwen, and felt that the power of the vassal king should not be too great, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well.

The most direct consequence is that the vassal kings everywhere are treated as pigs, except for encroaching on people's land and digging the corners of the Ming treasury, they can't do anything else.

Neither can be an official nor lead troops, simply, the vassal kings focus on creating villains, and as a result, a large part of the Ming treasury is used to raise pigs.

Of course, these vassal kings understand what is going on in their hearts, and there are also those who don't want to be pigs for the rest of their lives, but they don't dare to say it directly, otherwise will the emperor think that he also wants to learn from Zhu Di and have a martyrdom?

Seeing that none of the vassal kings made a sound, and they all played the trick of silence, Chongzhen simply made it clear: "Emperor Taizu Hongwu established the vassal king system, originally wanting the vassal princes to defend the imperial court.

But in the former feudal clan Jiannu knocked on the pass and besieged the master of the Jingshi, uncles and brothers, what are you doing? ”

When the vassal kings heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "The minister is guilty, and the minister will die!" ”

Chongzhen was the most annoyed by their appearance, so he simply flicked his sleeves and said, "Get up." ”

After all the vassal kings got up, Chongzhen said to Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty: "According to the generation, I should call the emperor's grandfather, but I don't know what you were doing at that time?" ”

Zhu Yujian is about the same age as Chongzhen, and he can be called a handsome face, but he was bluffed by Chongzhen's words, and said sneeringly: "Minister...... Minister...... The minister is guilty! ”

It turned out that when Jiannu besieged Jingshi, Zhu Yujian scattered some family wealth, and wanted to recruit soldiers and horses to enter the king of Jingqin, after the siege of Jiannu was lifted, there was a brocade guard to report it, but it was suppressed by Chongzhen, and it was above the court, and he didn't know anything about it, otherwise the impeachment of the grandson of the Tang Dynasty would have been flying all over the sky.

It's just that since Zhu Di, which vassal king still dares to recruit soldiers and horses? Want to rebel? Therefore, Zhu Yujian thought that his own matter had happened, and Chongzhen wanted to blame himself.

I didn't want Chongzhen to say: "I heard that Uncle Huang was recruiting soldiers and horses, and I was very happy in my heart. ”
