Chapter 298: King Zong's Banquet
Not long after Zhu Youzhen returned home, Cao Huachun got the news. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the imperial study, Zhu Xu listened to Cao Huachun's narration while looking at the recitals collected from all over Liaodong.
Cao Huachun said in a clear manner, "In the battle of the Dongjiang River, the first to get the news was Youtun, and then the continuous flying pigeons passed the book to the capital, which was for Yuan Chonghuan, and then Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter to King Xin. ”
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Our Lord Yuan is very concerned about Liaodong, which makes me very pleased." ”
Cao Huachun couldn't see anything from Zhu Xu's face, but which side general of the past dynasties dared to collude with the ministers? What's more, this 'powerful minister' is Zhu Xu is fifth brother, and he is also the younger brother of the Emperor of the Apocalypse!
For any emperor, it is not too much to put on a hat of bad intentions, and punish the nine clans.
Cao Huachun saw that Zhu Xu was not speaking, and said cautiously: "King Xin went out of the palace and returned to the house, and Yuan Chonghuan was in the palace of King Xin." ”
Zhu Xu's hand paused, turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, and said, "Yuan Chonghuan? ”
Cao Huachun bowed slightly, lowered his head, and said, "Yes." ”
Zhu Xu turned his head to look outside, stunned, and only shook his head and smiled for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan, what do you want me to do with you?" ”
Cao Huachun was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yuan, it's not suitable to stay in Liaodong." ”
Zhu Xu was speechless when he listened, in his heart, Yuan Chonghuan has always been a rare good general, as long as he quit the 'bold and reckless' mind, carefully guard Liaodong, and wait for him to clean up the internal affairs and pacify Liaodong, he will definitely take the first credit!
But this adult behaves differently everywhere, incompatible with his pace, does not obey orders, does not listen to persuasion, as if no one can subdue him.
Now that Yuan Chonghuan and King Xin have come together, no matter how far it goes, Liaodong Zhu Xu is not at ease to hand it over to him anymore.
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, thought in his heart, and said slowly, "Cao Wenzhao goes north, and there is no one to lead the Yingyang Army in Shanxi...... You can't startle the snake, you have to make a show for Jiannu, Cao Huachun, you inform Sun Chuanting, before I ascend the throne, find a time to put Yuan Chonghuan in prison for the crime, and when Sun Chengzong arrives at Shanhaiguan, and then the Ming Zhao will transfer Xiong Tingbi back to judge the crime, Xiong Tingbi doesn't have to come back, make a show for Houjin to ......"
Zhu Xu's thoughts were very clear, his words were very chaotic, Cao Huachun quietly recorded, and when the time came, he would come to remind Zhu Xu.
After a long time, Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty, do you want to beat the king again?" ”
Zhu Xu said, "The last time I was the king, didn't the king of Shu scold me behind my back, and when I summoned them, let the king of Xin come too." ”
Cao Huachun suddenly understood that the emperor was going to teach a lesson together.
After Zhu Xu dealt with Yuan Chonghuan's matter, he continued to look at the notebook,
Turning over and turning is frowning, this is the secret music on the brocade guard.
The first battle of the Dongjiang Army gave Houjin a great stimulus, Huang Taiji went around collecting craftsmen, to cast cannons, radiating out from Shen/Yang, everywhere was the movement of soldiers and horses, almost in the best efforts to raise soldiers and horses.
"That's the aftermath."
Zhu Xu muttered, Huang Taiji was annoyed, such a big move was obviously not for Dongjiang Town, but to cross the Big and Small Ling Rivers and attack the Ningjin line.
Although the soldiers and horses mobilized by Huang Taiji have far exceeded history, Liaodong is also different, after Zhu Xu's efforts for more than half a year, whether it is morale, or silver ring, food, or generals, they have achieved unprecedented unity and height!
Soldiers and horses, city defense, artillery, Zhu Xu poured out most of his strength!
However, it was inevitable that he was still apprehensive in his heart, and said, "Then pass the decree and allocate 1 million taels of silver and 300,000 stones of grain to Liaodong!" ”
Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's slightly tight side face, and wanted to comfort him that Liaodong would definitely be able to hold on, and there was no need to be so worried and difficult to let go. After hesitating for a while, he still said, "Obey!" ”
Three days later, in the Qianqing Palace, the new emperor feasted the kings of the clan.
Now it is the first year of Chongzhen, according to the roster of the Zongren Mansion, there are twenty-five princes in the Ming Dynasty, one hundred and thirty-six county kings, and other towns and countries, etc., which are endless!
Take the prince as an example, the more people there are, the more Yulu will be, and in terms of hundreds of thousands of clans in the Ming Dynasty, it is a frightening expenditure every year.
Zhu Xu walked out of the side door and walked to the dragon chair.
Nearly 200 people, led by King Ping and King Xin, bowed down and bowed, "Ministers and others meet the emperor, long live our emperor!" ”
Zhu Xu looked up and saw that there were all black heads, except for a few people, he didn't know any of them.
Zhu Xu sat down and said lightly, "Flat." ”
A group of princes thanked him, standing in two rows on both sides, bowing slightly, but looking respectful.
King Ping stood on the right, raised his hand with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, maybe you don't know a little, the minister will introduce you." ”
"This is the King of Shu, this is the Acting King, this is the King of Su, this is the King of Tang, this is the King of Gui......"
Zhu Xu listened, watched, bowed his head from time to time, stopped for a moment when he was King Gui, and said secretly in his heart: "Emperor Hongguang's Lao Tzu didn't come, but Yongli's father came." ’
After King Ping's introduction, Zhu Xu also said politely for a while, and then the banquet began.
The royal family of the Entertaining Sect is different from the ministers, these people, some of them Zhu Xu can't tell the seniority, and some are even higher than Wanli, so they can't afford to offend, so they have to deal with it carefully.
There are few people who pat on the back, and naturally there are people who look on coldly, and more people take the golden mean, neither enthusiastic nor cold, and are mixing time.
Zhu Xu coped quietly, shuttled between the banquets, drank a circle, and then returned to the front of the steps, looking at a group of people, his face was red, as if he was drunk, and said: "Fellow clansmen, you are the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, suppressing the Quartet, defending Gyeonggi, and making great contributions." Not long ago, Brother Xin told me that there were too many clans and too much land, so I should not only reduce my income, but also check the acres of land in each royal palace......"
As soon as Zhu Xu's words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Hundreds of princes were shocked, looking at Zhu Xu with an uneasy expression, and their hearts were cold.
King Lu and King Jin are all old gods, as if they haven't heard anything.
Both of them have cleared their family property, and they don't want to lose their heads anymore.
King Ping was also surprised, although he did not have a domain, he also had 3,000 acres of households, looked at Zhu Xu, and then turned his head to look at King Xin.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't say anything, he couldn't demolish Zhu Xu in person, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.
His silence made the princes more and more frightened. They have a lot of money and acres, but they have many children and grandchildren, and the expenses are very large, and the court is undoubtedly killing them by doing this!
Acting King Zhu Naijun was the first to stand up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am against it!" Now that there is a drought in all places, there is no harvest, our clan is also reducing production, and last year's silver was nearly half less, and now we have to take stock of our fields. ”
Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, also followed and stood up, opposing in a deep voice, and his words were fierce.
The King of Chu, the King of Qin and others also stood up one after another, and it didn't take long for almost all the princes in the hall to oppose it!
And Zhu Xu looked at King Xin with a smile.
