"Bold!"

"Arrogance!"

"Zhu Zhen, you are rebellious!"

"Zhu Zhen, don't kneel down yet!"

......

After being stunned, it was the anger that rushed to the sky, whether it was the kings kneeling on the ground, or Fu Rang, Chen Ping, and even Liu Zhen, Liu Tie and others who served as guards, they were all indignant, and they all accused Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, of being rebellious.

However, all this did not affect Zhu Yunwen's mood, his right index finger lightly tapped on the bookcase, looking at the performance of everyone with interest, the most surprising thing to him was the performance of King Ning, the first person to speak should be the King of Shu, but he did not expect to be preempted by King Ning, as for the reaction of King Chu, although it was unexpected, it was under control.

For today, Zhu Yunwen made careful preparations, not only ordered the two investigation divisions and the security department to always pay attention to the trends in Beijing and various places, but also strengthened vigilance in the palace and outside the palace, he didn't want to appear in the farce of the eight kings of the Yongzheng Dynasty in the future, if there were such signs, he would immediately suppress them, and he would not be soft, but now it seems that everyone is more aware of current affairs, which makes Zhu Yunwen feel very pleased.

"That's it!" I don't know how long it took, Zhu Yunwen coughed lightly, then raised his hand, and the noise immediately stopped abruptly, and at the same time everyone quickly knelt down, only the King of Chu was still standing in the front row, his seat was arranged in the first row, and beside him were the King of Shu and the King of Qi, the King of Shu looked at the King of Chu with complicated eyes, gently pulled his clothes, and said in a low voice: "Sixth brother, kneel down!" ”

King Chu's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and his legs began to tremble a little, he looked at the emperor Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting behind the table, smiling but not smiling, sighed in his heart, gently dusted off the sleeves of his robe, and slowly leaned over and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

While speaking, Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, took out a piece of paper from his arms, folded it squarely, and raised his hands high.

At Zhu Yunwen's signal, Fu Rang took the piece of paper, and then handed it to Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen opened it first, sniffed it with his nose, and then handed it to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen looked at it for a while, suddenly shook his head, and smiled dumbly: "King Chu, your confession book is very interesting, in this way, you can read the content to everyone." ”

The King of Chu was stunned for a moment, then took the chapter and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Confession of Zhu Zhen, King of Chu:"

"Zhen has been taught by Emperor Gao and Emperor Gao since childhood, and knows that filial piety is the first thing in all walks of life, and the son said: 'The father is watching his will, but the father is not watching his deeds, and he has not changed his father's way for three years, which can be described as filial piety.'" Zhen everything is based on this, the eighteen-year-old handsome Jiang Xiahou Zhou Dexing pacified the great barbarians, when he was in Wuchang, the transcript of "Yu Zhu Hongfan" and "Da Bao Zhen" was placed on the motto, in order to prepare for the day and night to recite. ”

"For more than ten years, the minister was ordered by the first emperor, and repeatedly led the army to conquer Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang and other places. ”

"After the death of the first emperor, the fourth brother rebelled in Beijing, Wang Bi participated in it, the minister's wife is the daughter of Wang Bi, Wang Bi once sent a letter to invite the ministers to join the army, but was sternly rejected by the ministers, the ministers are the blood of the first emperor, how can they go against their last wishes and do unrighteous things? On the contrary, according to His Majesty's edict, the ministers requisitioned grain and grass, and transported soldiers, and did not dare to slack off for a day. ”

"And this time, Chen Wan has no intention of rebellion, just to eliminate the rebel party, Emperor Gao's ancestral training once said: 'There is no righteous minister in the court, and there is treachery in it, and he will raise troops to punish him, and he will clear the side of the monarch.'" Everything the ministers did was the teachings of the previous emperor. ”

"The first emperor fought horses all his life, fought a hundred battles and took the world, for the long-term peace and stability of the world, so he divided us as the vassal king, stationed in the dangerous places in the mountains and rivers in the country, for the royal family, at the same time, in view of the main backbone of the previous dynasties, the disadvantages of the decline of the branches, the development of the ancestral system, with us as the prince, our eldest son as the prince, the second son as the prince of the county, the second grandson as the general of the town, the general of the auxiliary country, the general of the Fengguo, the lieutenant of the town, the lieutenant of the auxiliary country, the lieutenant of the Fengguo, so that in less than a hundred years, the descendants of my royal family are all over the country, and our descendants are the royal family. Helping the royal family pacify the whole country, we are all royal blood, and we are naturally more concerned about political affairs and military affairs, isn't it much better than those officials elected by the imperial examination? ”

"But there were traitors in the court, thinking that the vassal king's income was too heavy, and the ministers thought it was purely a joke, and the vassal king's annual income was only 10,000 stones, that is, 10,000 taels of silver, and this kind of income was too far from those officials and even rich businessmen. The minister heard that the Bai family, the Lu family, the Cai family in the capital, and the Lu family of Su Song, etc., are all making money every day, and the family is extremely luxurious, and there are countless beautiful jades! Your Majesty, could it be that the first emperor Rong Ma made great achievements in driving out Meng Yuan and saving the people from fire and water, and his descendants are not as good as a businessman? ”

"Your Majesty, the fourth brother rebelled, and he really deserved it, but isn't Your Majesty at all wrong?"

"In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the first emperor decreed that there were fifteen countries that would not be conquered, and he earnestly admonished: 'All the four sides are limited to mountains and seas, and they are isolated in a corner, and the land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to make orders. If he doesn't think about it and scratches me, it's ominous. He is not a problem for China, and it is also ominous for me to raise troops and commit minor offenses. I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's prosperity and strength, be greedy for a moment of military exploits, and raise troops for no reason, resulting in injuries. ’”

However, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he raised troops to conquer Korea for no reason, and now there are still hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in North Korea, and countless military rations are consumed every day, and Li Fangyuan is still on the run. In addition, I heard that His Majesty still wants to conquer the Wa Kingdom and Annam, so how many troops do you need? How much folk fat and ointment do you need? Your Majesty, have you thought about it? ”

"The first emperor was benevolent and generous, preferential treatment of honorable ministers, for retired honorary officials, there are preferential treatment of tax reduction, and this treatment is also extended to children and grandchildren, which makes them relieved of their worries, willing to go to the soup for the Ming Dynasty, bow to the end, they are the backbone of His Majesty's rule of the world; In addition, in order to cultivate the reserve talents of the Ming Dynasty, the first emperor also had tax exemptions and exemptions for meritorious scholars, which not only relieved the worries of poor scholars, but also stimulated their self-motivation. These policies are all measures of the state to give preferential treatment to talents, and are long-term policies for the country's stable development. However, there are traitors in the DPRK and China who advocate abolishing this policy and implementing 'the gentry pay grain as one'! Your Majesty, this move will inevitably lead to the centrifugation of the gentry, and in the long run, the minister is worried that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is unstable and the country will not be eternal, please Your Majesty will be clear! ”

"Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou Tusi, has been more than a thousand years ago, the farthest can be traced back to the period of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, they use marriage, proton and other means between each other, sometimes encroachment, sometimes united, now it is intertwined, pull a hair and move the whole body, with the wisdom of the first emperor, can not 'change the land and return to the stream', can only slowly figure it. The minister thinks that although there are problems with the Tusi system, it is also a long-term peace and stability policy, why does Your Majesty have to poke this hornet's nest? Once the southwest soldiers are in trouble and endanger Huguang and Sichuan, then the world will inevitably shake, and once the Ming Dynasty is shaken, Your Majesty will be a sinner for the ages! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, leaned down and knelt down, crying silently: "Your Majesty, the minister does not have the intention of rebellion, but only the traitorous ministers in the court. They are just for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers have a heart of Dan, and they have no intention of murdering Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

......

"Yes, our income is not high! Who said we were too high? 10,000 taels a year, what can you do? ”

"yes, yes!"

"Be quiet, who really eats on Yulu? As if others don't know! ”

"yes, be quiet!"

......

"A country that is not to be conquered? Although the first emperor said it, like Li Fangyuan, he must teach a lesson, but it is indeed a little bad to make trouble like this! ”

"But you can't stop fighting, it depends on how Your Majesty ends!"

......

"'The gentry pay in one'? And what's going on? That's a big deal! ”

"Yes, the world's scholars are not yet upside down!"

"Yes, these sour shows are okay and they still have to make some trouble, I'm afraid it's even more troublesome now!"

"It's really like what the sixth brother said, it will shake the country's foundation!"

"Shhhh

"Don't let Your Majesty hear!"

"Well, okay!"

......

"'Changing the land and returning to the stream'? It doesn't seem to be so easy, I've seen those toasts, all of them are obedient on the surface, but they are unruly in their hearts, and they are all people who don't obey the king! 'Change the land and return to the stream', they will definitely rebel! ”

"Yes, the sixth brother has been fighting the barbarians for many years, and he should know the inside story of the barbarians, isn't it a bit arbitrary for His Majesty to do this!"

"Yes, 'changing the land and returning to the stream' is really unreliable!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is a little inconsiderate!"

......

Zhu Zhen did not read the content of the letter word for word, but added some interjections, expressing a piece of filial piety and true feelings between the lines.

As he read it, some princes couldn't help but whisper and whisper their opinions, while others lowered their heads and sneered, not saying a word......
