It can be said that the cutting of the feudal domain is related to the fortunes of the country, and the whole country is paying attention to it. The degree of attention is even more than the battle of Ningjin, if the most concerned thing in the Apocalypse is selected, the cutting of the domain can definitely be ranked in the top three.

When the decree was issued to summon the vassal kings to Beijing to discuss the new policy, the entire empire was boiling for a moment, but very few publicly stated their positions. After an instant boil, the entire empire seemed to quickly calm down again. A few days later, the entire empire and even the Jingshi seemed extraordinarily calm, so calm that it seemed that no one was paying attention to this matter anymore, whether it was among the people or in the court, they had selectively forgotten about this matter, and no one mentioned this matter again.

"Your Majesty, except for the occasional mention of this matter by the people, it seems that no one has talked about the matter of cutting the feudal domain these days." Wang Sai'er reported.

"Why is there no one talking about such a big thing as cutting the feudal domain all of a sudden? Don't you think it's abnormal? Zhu Youxiao asked.

Judging from the information obtained by the ministers, the officials were reluctant to talk about this matter, because although the matter of cutting the feudal domain was a foregone conclusion, it was still difficult to predict who would win and who would lose. The common people did not talk about it because they were influenced by the merchants, and now the teahouse is not allowed to talk about the cutting of the feudal clan except for reading the newspaper, because they are afraid of getting into trouble. Wang Sai'er said.

"Why do officials think it's unpredictable?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously.

"Since the implementation of the new policy, Your Majesty has offended businessmen with measures such as tax collection, anti-corruption and abolition of fire consumption and other measures have offended officials everywhere, and measures such as reorganizing the army have offended soldiers everywhere. Many people think that His Majesty is too radical, and the outcome of this matter will be unpredictable. Wang Sai'er analyzed.

"Am I so annoying?" Zhu Youxiao said to Zhang Yan with a smile.

"The emperor is for the people of the world, and for the sake of the country, he will offend so many villains." Zhang Yan said softly.

"I'm not silver, I can't be liked by everyone. The merchants were mercenary, the officials were corrupt, and even more so in the old army, I just wanted to do something good for the people, and I would attract the opposition of so many people. I don't care, maybe it's a good thing that the empire is in chaos, and there will be great governance after the chaos. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, if the vassal king really rebels, how confident do you have?" Zhang Yan asked softly.

"Faith! Of course I have faith, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a decision. Wang Sai'er, do you think that if the vassal king rebels, I will win? Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said.

"The minister didn't dare to say it." Wang Sai'er said softly.

"Say, I want to hear your opinion." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The minister thinks that the number of five or five, His Majesty's new army is unparalleled in the world, but the support of the vassal kings is more than that of Your Majesty." Wang Sai'er said.

"Have you ever heard of the war of public opinion? I have two major weapons in my hands, one is the new army, and the other is the "Daming Imperial Daily", and if my "Daming Imperial Daily" is used properly, it can say that the black is white. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Murder and heart! Your Majesty's Move! Wang Sai'er suddenly realized.

"If there is a need, not only the "Daming Imperial Daily" must serve me, the "Daming Confucian Daily" must also serve me, and the non-governmental tabloids must also serve me. What do you think my chances of winning are now? Zhu Youxiao said.

"If the people can stand on Your Majesty's side, Your Majesty has an eighty percent chance of winning the final victory." Wang Sai'er said.

"Why is it only eighty percent?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously.

"In order to succeed in anything, the right time, place, and people are all very important, but the more important point is luck." Wang Sai'er explained.

"Luck is really important, and if Providence is not on my side, I have nothing to say." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, the vassal kings haven't rebelled yet, maybe they will all come to Beijing." Zhang Yan said softly.

"I call this a rainy day, not to mention that I think that the chances of the vassal kings rebelling are more than seventy percent, and I must prepare in advance. If there is no rebellion, it will be a happy thing for all. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, Tian Ergeng and Li Yongzhen ask to see you." Wang Liqian said.

"Wang Sai'er, go down first, remember that you have to arrange your people to Shaanxi, Huguang, and Henan as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

"Let them in." Zhu Youxiao said.

……

In this special period, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the two major organs that Zhu Youxiao relies on the most, and now Zhu Youxiao is more willing to use them than the ministers of the imperial court.

"What has happened in Jingshi these days?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Jingshi seems to be quiet on the surface these days, but the eyeliners left in Jingshi by the vassal kings from all over the world have all moved." Tian Ergeng reported.

"Be specific." Zhu Youxiao said.

"On Xin Chou Day, King Fu's people begged to see Han Ge Lao, but Han Ge Lao said that he was sick and refused, and then he asked to see Wei Ge Lao, and was rejected by Wei Ge Lao...... Tian Ergeng read one by one.

"You mean that all the ministers of the cabinet are now closed to each other after returning home, except for dealing with the affairs of the imperial court?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, but there are not a few ministers who have contact with the vassal king, and the ministers have all been recorded, do you need the ministers to read it to Your Majesty?" Tian Ergeng said.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Someone can have contact with the people of the Jingshi army?" ”

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin, the King of Lu, the King of Chu, the King of Qing, the King of Fu and other princes have all asked to see Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Dudu and Zhang Weixian Zhang Guogong, but the two also refused to see the guests, but some of the relatives secretly had contact with the vassal kings. On Renyin Day, Yangwu Hou Xue Lian secretly met with Fuwang's people in Fanzi Hutong, but I don't know what they talked about for the time being......" Li Yongzhen also reported one by one.

"Any other news?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The minister heard a news that someone asked for an apocalypse gun for 10,000 taels." Tian Ergeng said.

"Does anyone want to assassinate me?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously. The possibility of using a flintlock pistol or a bow to assassinate Zhu Youxiao in Jingshi is almost zero, but if there is an Apocalypse Gun, the chances of success are greatly increased. The Apocalypse Gun is a novelty, with the longest range of any light weapon at present, and there is a lack of effective means of defense against this novelty for the time being.

"The minister immediately sent someone to take charge of this matter." Tian Ergeng said immediately.

"This matter must not be taken lightly and must be strictly investigated." Zhu Youxiao admonished.

"No."
