Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, finally arrived at Jinling City after a few days, and at the same time, there were dozens of princes and county kings such as Zhu Yiming, King of Xiang, Zhu Changxun, King of Fu, and Zhu Yuyun, King of Tang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are only one generation higher than Zhu Youxiao, and there are also several generations higher than Zhu Youxiao, and in the intimate relationship, King Fu is undoubtedly related to the blood, and King Xiang is also considered to be close to the royal family at the same time.

Therefore, in comparison, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, who dared to pretend to be the great-grandfather of His Majesty the current emperor Zhu Youxiao, seemed to be a relatively distant relative.

None of the other feudal lords who were close to the Imperial Family thought that they would be punished or severely punished by His Majesty the Emperor during this visit, because they did not believe that His Majesty would disregard his relatives and morals.

In their opinion, even if His Majesty really wanted some radical newspapers and periodicals to say that a strong man would break his wrist, directly eradicate the vassal king, reduce him to a commoner, and deal with those who committed serious crimes according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, and other vassal kings who had no close blood relationship would undoubtedly be the easiest targets to be rectified.

But Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, is very confident, he now believes in Ruan Dacheng's advice, and feels that as long as he puts his attitude right first, His Majesty can let him go back.

The gate of the palace slowly opened, and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, walked out and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree to announce the audience of the vassal kings of all places." ”

Zhu Changxun, the head of the Fu King, walked in with a group of people.

Zhu Youxiao felt dizzy as soon as he looked at these vassal kings as soon as he came, and he stood up directly in horror.

Own relatives turned out so much!

If this is a critical juncture, Guan is use his own Zhu family to form an army of hundreds of thousands.

"It's hard for you to invite, Emperor Taizu Gao's birthday will not come to Beijing to pay homage, and my face will be lost by you", Zhu Youxiao said with a smile and got up and said: "Let you come now, naturally let you also pay tribute to the spirit of Emperor Taizu Gao, and bless me with the peace of the Ming Dynasty!" The second is to let you give me ideas on how to solve some of the difficulties that still exist in the Ming Dynasty, such as the problem that the treasury has less money and grain than last year. ”

Just when Zhu Youxiao said this, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, added: "Your Majesty, the vassal king is not allowed to interfere in politics." ”

"That's good, but I didn't say to let you do things, I just asked you to give me a detailed reference, now you are all rich, the annual increase in land production is not less than 1,000 acres, and the annual income is no less than 10,000 stones, but my Ming Dynasty is getting poorer and poorer, you say, whose fault is this."

Zhu Youxiao's question also stumped these vassal kings, these vassal kings couldn't answer, they naturally didn't want to admit that it was their vassal kings who dragged down the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't dare to say that it was the sin of poor governance today.

And Zhu Youxiao directly said what they didn't want to hear, and saw Zhu Youxiao stand up directly and point at the Fuwang Zhu Changxun and said, "It's you!" ”

"You are leading the court to a huge amount of money one by one, but you are still constantly looting the people's wealth and seizing the people's land to enrich yourself, don't think that I don't know what you have done!"

Zhu Youxiao was so scared that Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, couldn't help but chuckle, his knees were weak, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down in front of Zhu Youxiao.

……

He didn't say anything more about these vassal kings who arrived early, but for those who were late or simply didn't come by order, Zhu Youxiao simply ordered that these vassal kings who didn't come to resist the order be downgraded to a higher level, and their hereditary interests were canceled.

In addition, the feudal kings who disrespected the edict were punished with a penalty of two years and half of the one-year salary.

The late vassal kings also canceled the hereditary reckonage, and demoted them to two levels, and fined them for one year.

In this way, many vassal kings can't help but cry out for wrongdoing, especially those who didn't come, only saying that they were just following the ancestral system, but they were canceled for no reason.

Some vassal kings were even more dissatisfied because of this, threatening that there must be treacherous ministers in the court, and it was necessary for them to enter the king of Jingqin as the vassal king.

But now these vassal kings are more worried than Zhu Di, the king of Yan back then, shouting fiercely one by one, but few people have the courage to confront the central court.

Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, was aware of the current affairs, saying that he was the king of the Ming Dynasty, but he could not worry about His Majesty for the Ming Dynasty, so he felt extremely ashamed, and at the same time published an article in the Daming Daily to support His Majesty to punish these feudal kings for disrespecting or being late, and even suggested that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao should impose more severe punishments on these vassal kings.

Regarding the phenomenon that the country is in danger and the people's livelihood is difficult, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, said that he was willing to donate half of his land to Huangzhuang, and then let Huangzhuang contract the landless people; In this way, it can save the people from suffering, and will not be suspected of interfering in politics by a vassal king.

Not only that, but Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, also suggested whether it was possible to allow local vassal kings to freely engage in other professions other than politics, especially in academic fields such as literature and medicine.

In any case, the vassal kings were rich, and most of them were not illiterate, so it was easy to produce talents in this area.

Even, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, himself asked Zhu Youxiao to allow him to visit and intern in Daming Daily for a period of time, so that he could familiarize himself with the specific process of opening a newspaper, and after he returned to the fiefdom in the future, he would also open his own Huguang report in Huguang.

Zhu Youxiao immediately agreed to the request of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, and directly asked people to pass the decree to the chief writer Zhang Dai, who personally took Zhu Huakui to familiarize himself with the process of the newspaper.

……

Just when Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, was ready to take a good look at the production line of Daming Daily, the time to worship Xiaoling also arrived.

Wang Wenkui, Fang Dayou, Chen Mingxia, Mao Bijiang and others, who were originally the governors of Yingtian, also began to be escorted out of their cells.

These people were all covered in bruises at the moment, and they couldn't bear the torture, and they almost shouted out everything they could know, but they ended up biting more scholars.

They now hate the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao who sat on the high stage, and they also hate Li Mingrui, who covered the sky with one hand.

They all raised their heads and looked at Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Emperor on the jade steps, who knew that at this look, Chen Mingxia first screamed by himself, and then fell to the ground.

When someone poured a basin of cold water on his face, and Chen Mingxia woke up again, Zhu Youxiao was already standing in front of him and asked: "Chen Mingxia, Chen Mingxia who is famous in Jiangnan, right, I remember that you said that I was a Bai Ding who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, and now I ask you, is it really that I don't know how to learn." ”

"No, it's not, crime, the sinners have no eyes, please punish Your Majesty!"

Chen Mingxia knelt down towards Zhu Youxiao in great pain as he spoke, and when he knelt, Wang Wenkui, the governor of the original Heavenly Patrol, also followed: "The old minister is dazzled, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
