"Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear, and the minister will definitely do it." Zhu Qiugui replied without hesitation.

"First, half of the land occupied by the Jin king's line must be surrendered, and I will use it to compensate the soldiers who died in battle; second, the title of the King of Jin will be inherited from today; Third, in the future, the king of Jin will only enjoy the glory of the title, and will no longer enjoy the fortune. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Zhu Youxiao's three articles really made Zhu Qiugui feel painful, it was like pain from his internal organs to his hair.

"King Jin, I guarantee that someone from your King Jin line will definitely enter the center of the empire within ten years, and this is my bottom line, if King Jin doesn't agree, then we can only deal with it impartially." Zhu Youxiao threatened.

"Minister...... The minister promised His Majesty that it was. After Zhu Qiugui said this, tears were about to come out. Regarding Zhu Youxiao's statement that someone in the Jin Dynasty's lineage must enter the center within ten years, he selectively ignored it.

"King Jin, I also promise you that from today onwards, everyone in the King of Jin line can be an official, a soldier or a businessman, and there is no limit. I believe that the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao will not be too bad, and maybe in a few years, there will be generals or confidential ministers who will regain the glory of the Jin Dynasty. In addition, I want you to take the initiative to play tomorrow and ask me to do what I want. Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhu Youxiao felt that it was best to let Zhu Qiugui bring it up by himself, which was an explanation to other feudal kings and court officials in the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Youxiao was operating behind it.

"The minister understands, thank Your Majesty Longen!" Zhu Qiugui said.

Now it's useless for Zhu Youxiao to say anything, he can't listen to it.

According to Zhu Youxiao's downgraded title, after decades of King Jin's lineage, many people will be reduced to ordinary people and will no longer enjoy royal preferential treatment; No longer enjoy the feast, which is the most fatal for the Jin kings, which means that they must seek new means of livelihood, and many people are used to the days of clothes and food to open their mouths;

Surrender half of the land, this kind of punishment is the heaviest for Zhu Qiugui, although Zhu Qiugui is also the king of Jin, but most of the land that is handed over is really his, compared to the other Jin kings, is life or death and he cares, as the saying goes: a generation of two representatives. He didn't really care about their lives or deaths.

At the same time, Zhu Qiugui also realized that Zhu Youxiao was about to make a move against the vassal king, but he just happened to hit the muzzle of his gun.

……

Zhu Qiugui returned to his mansion in Datong like a frosted eggplant.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Qiugui's son, Zhu Xianxuan, saw Zhu Qiugui's appearance and knew that the situation was not quite right.

"Hey, Your Majesty ......" Zhu Qiugui told Zhu Xianxuan the whole thing.

"Father, I am the king of Jin, loyal to the country, Your Majesty just for a little nothing, just treat our King Jin for a little nothing, doesn't Your Majesty take into account the feelings of Emperor Taizu Gao at all?" Zhu Xianxuan said indignantly.

According to the system of Zhu Youxiao's downgrading and inheritance, when Zhu Xianxuan inherited the title, he could no longer be a prince, but became a county king, or a county king without Yulu.

"Don't you see that Your Majesty is going to cut the domain? It's just that this king just happened to hit him on the muzzle. Zhu Qiugui said coldly.

"Isn't Your Majesty afraid that the kings of the world will turn against him?" Zhu Xianxuan looked around and whispered vigilantly.

"Your Majesty is now in power, and the new army in his hand is the most elite of the Ming army, and even the Mongols cannot compete with it. Your Majesty wants to cut the domain, who dares to disagree? Zhu Qiugui said softly.

"Father, are we really going to ask Your Majesty for such a slashing chapter tomorrow?" Zhu Xianxuan asked.

"People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, even if the king does not ask, Your Majesty will do it, if your Majesty does it first, the final result of our Jin king's lineage is that there is not much left, not to mention the prince, even your position as the king of the county may not be able to be kept." Zhu Qiugui said in a mournful voice.

"It's too much to deceive, it's too much to deceive." Zhu Xianxuan said angrily.

"You'd better be honest in the near future, don't fall into the hands of Your Majesty again, Your Majesty may simply demote you to a civilian, or even trap you." Zhu Qiugui saw Zhu Xianxuan with an angry face and said coldly.

"Got it, Father." Zhu Xianxuan said.

……

The next day, Zhu Qiugui wrote a letter in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's intention to take the initiative to request the reduction of the domain.

As the saying goes: acting has to play a full set.

After Zhu Youxiao received Zhu Qiugui's recital, he praised Zhu Qiugui's patriotic behavior in front of the ministers, and specially approved that the king of Jin could serve as an official, military or businessman in the future.

Zhu Qiugui's behavior was also supported and praised by some unknown officials, and now the financial expenditure of the imperial family accounted for more than half of the imperial expenditure, and in 1602, the financial expenditure of the imperial family reached 15.26 million taels, which not only included Yulu, but also many other things, which caused a great burden on the imperial finances, and now the treasury still owes the local feudal kings Yulu can not pay.

But there are also some shrewd officials who smell the conspiracy, and they don't believe that Zhu Qiugui is so generous, especially when Zhu Qiugui gave such a recital the day after he met Zhu Youxiao, which was obviously instructed by Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Qiugui was also silent about all these discussions, and after he met Zhu Youxiao, he closed the door and said that he was sick and no longer saw anyone. However, Zhu Qiugui was really sick, Zhu Youxiao's flesh-scraping knife made him heartbreaking, and the whole person was much older.

……

Tian Ergeng was very fast, and in just two days, he provided Zhu Youxiao with a lot of confessions and evidence. According to Tian Ergeng's habits, he must be able to use torture, and it is a big punishment, he has already prepared the punishment of Jinyiwei, and now the whole prison is wailing, like hell on earth, and few people who enter can come out completely. But Zhu Youxiao can't scruple so much, he must end the matter as soon as possible.

As the interrogation deepened, more and more officials were involved, and nearly seventy percent of the officials in Shanxi Province were involved, most of them were related to corruption and bribery, and officials from other provinces, ministers of Beijing, and even cabinet ministers were involved.

Zhao Nanxing played again, hoping that Zhu Youxiao would stop pursuing the case.

"I decided to listen to Zhao Aiqing's opinion and stop investigating this case, Zhao Aiqing patrolled Shanxi, added the Taibao, rewarded 100 taels of platinum, four pieces of colored silk, a big red python on the surface, and four stones of moon rice." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
