Chapter 101: Zhu Youzhu kept the behavior of the kings in mind, sat on the golden hall, unconsciously stroked the imperial case with his hand, and said slowly: "I summoned hundreds of officials today, first, let everyone meet the vassal kings. When Emperor Taizu was there, he once said that he was not the king of the Zhu family. Why is that? ”

The officials listened with bated breath one by one, they knew that the emperor was going to make a tirade, Zhu Youzhu was a diligent emperor, scheming, every sentence had his intentions, if he couldn't understand it, although the emperor was generous, but this future was only afraid......

As for the vassal kings, they had different expressions, especially King Ning, King Ning's eyes were quietly closed, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, taking Zhu Youzhang's words as the wind in his ears, but it could also be said that he was listening to his ears and his attitude was respectful. Zhu Chenhao, the king of the upper heights, sat beside King Ning and sat dangerously, but his eyes flashed with disapproval.

"If it weren't for King Yan's scheming, probably sitting here today and preaching to the hundred officials, I'm afraid it would be my father, and I'm ...... It is the crown prince of the dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand people. ”

This thought came out of his heart, and there seemed to be a trace of ignorance in Zhu Chenhao's eyes.

Li Dongyang, who was standing in second place on the left, glanced at Zhu Chenhao at this time, and then fell into deep thought.

Zhu Youzhu on the Golden Palace has already continued to speak: "This is because looking at the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, only the clan can share weal and woe with the society; Therefore, Emperor Taizu divided the kings into all sides, which is to tell his descendants that the Ming Dynasty relied on, and it was the vassal kings of all over the country, and the vassal king's heart was to the imperial court, then the society was stable, and if even the vassal king had a heart of disobedience, the temple would collapse! ”

When Zhu Youzhu spoke, his tone was very moving, almost knocking on the imperial case with his knuckles. This sentence seems to smell of gunpowder very strongly, as if it is a warning, and it seems to have insight into people's hearts, and it is as if they have noticed that there are people among the vassal kings who are not subordinate.

Many vassal kings were already in a cold sweat at this time, and they were a little frightened, Zhu Chenhao's face was blue and red, and he gritted his teeth and didn't speak. But the most calm and relaxed is the king of Ning, when King Ning said the word "no minister" in Zhu Youjiao's sonorous and powerful voice, his eyes were open, the corners of his mouth quietly rose, and a shallow smile appeared, and he seemed to be thinking in his heart: "Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, Your Majesty has a good means!" ”

While Zhu Youzhu was speaking, his eyes were also fixed on King Ning's face, and then he looked at Zhu Chenhao, the king of Shanggao, but a smile appeared on his face, and his tone became gentle: "Emperor Taizu's thoughts, I deeply believe that the imperial court can only treat the vassal king well, and only by relying on the power of the vassal king, can it be stable for a long time, so that the country will be passed on to all generations." Therefore, I take advantage of today to invite all the kings of the sect to come to Beijing, meet me, and talk about the friendship between flesh and blood. ”

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if Fang is the thunderbolt, now it is the spring breeze and drizzle, many of the feudal kings who were nervous just now laughed, and some said: "Your Majesty is right, we all rely on Your Majesty's kindness to be able to guard one side and serve Sheji." Everyone is connected by flesh and blood, and the monarchs and ministers are in harmony, so that our Ming Dynasty will be eternal forever. ”

It is King Zhou who speaks, King Zhou is Zhu Di's family, and Zhu Youzhu is the closest, he is a pot-bellied person, he always squints when he speaks, as if Maitreya is in general, and his smiling words make the atmosphere lively. Many vassal kings followed King Zhou to echo, and there was laughter in this hall.

Even those hundred officials standing on both sides took this opportunity to cough a few times at this time, or to refresh their muscles and bones.

"Your Majesty." King Ning Zhu stood up with a smile and said: "What King Zhou said, every word is beautiful, the clan of the Ming Dynasty has broken the bones and tendons, and they are all royal blood, and it is really good to be able to gather here today, talking and laughing." ”

Many vassal kings said: "King Ning said it well. ”

It's just that Zhu Youzhang's face suddenly changed, and a trace of coldness passed through his eyes, and then he returned to the same as before. Others can't understand King Ning's words, but Zhu Youzhu understands it, what King Ning just said is royal blood, behind these words, there is a faint meaning, just like saying, the blood of your emperor is the same as mine, everyone is bleeding the same blood, where is there any difference between monarchs and ministers?

How can the true dragon son be the same as them? The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different, this King Ning is so bold that he dares to compare with me!

Zhu Youzhu immediately laughed, this King Ning seems to be shrewd and harbors evil intentions, but in fact, he is just using a little cleverness to show off. This old fool thought I couldn't hear it, which was ridiculous.

It's just that in this laughing effort, Zhu Youzhu seems to be relaxed, such an old fool, although he has a bad intention, what big thing can he do? Let him make trouble, so as to show my generosity.

Zhu Youzhu immediately said: "What King Ning said is right, everyone gathered together today, it is gratifying, but ten days ago, when the vassal kings came to Beijing in a row, didn't King Ning say that he wanted the children of the clan to compare and learn?" ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Jinjun directly, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

What should come always has to come, since this is the case, Zhu Youzhu Suo Xing proposed it first, so that he showed his self-confidence. And many people were quietly surprised when they saw Zhu Youzhu propose it first, but anyone who knew a little bit of the inside story knew that King Ning proposed this competition, which was clearly to insult the royal family.

It's just that Zhu Youzhu put it forward generously, which is worth pondering, could it be that His Majesty has already grasped it? Or is there something else going on?

Not only the vassal kings, but also Zhu Jinjun's eyes at this time also wiped a trace of doubt. He glanced at Zhu Chenhao, who was a little uneasy beside him, and quietly put his hand on the back of his hand, Zhu Chenhao looked at Zhu Jinjun with suspicious eyes, the eyes of the father and son met, and then Zhu Chenhao nodded, as if he had an opinion, he stood up and said to Zhu Youjiao: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang is not talented, I have heard that His Royal Highness the Prince is smart and full of wealth, and today I want to open my eyes." ”

The provocation of his sentence was already obvious, so much so that when he said the words "intelligent and full of economy", a sarcastic smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

However, his behavior made many princes look at him dissatisfied, you must know that the tutors of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are often not strict, after all, there is no difference between reading and not reading, what is the use of reading books? Anyway, there is a lifetime of glory and wealth, ordinary vassal kings, in fact, do not attach importance to education, although they will invite some celebrities to teach at home, but the management is not strict, with the heirs willing to work hard. So there are a lot of straw bales here, and what's more, some people don't even know a few big characters, and now King Ning is proposing to compete with the article, he wants to let the king of the high be in the limelight, but he wants everyone to be this foil, out of this ugly, look at the people who are not pleasing to the eye of the king of the high are naturally there are many people.

Zhu Youzhu nodded his head, and then said: "You said well, I have made several decrees to advocate people to read, to learn the model of saints, and to read books, so that they can know right and wrong, know etiquette, and be loyal to the monarch and filial piety." I am here today to let the civil and military officials to testify, and see who is the talent of our Zhu clan in our clan. ”

He raised his eyes and said, "Xuantai Meow enters the hall!" ”

"Xuan ...... Tai Meow Zi entered the temple ......"

A sharp summons rang out from near and far, and the voice resounded.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Chengfeng entered the hall side by side, Zhu Houzhao looked relaxed, yesterday played mahjong for a day, it is not easy to think about it, he has always been a noisy xingzi, the more people, the more he is spirited, when he sees so many people looking at himself, not only does he not feel timid, but his face is full of red light, and he obediently walked to the hall and saluted Zhu Youzhang, and said: "Erchen has seen his father." ”

Liu Chengfeng belongs to the thick-skinned kind, originally he was not qualified to come, but Zhu Houzhao asked him to cheer Zhu Houzhao up, of course the palace people outside did not dare to stop him, so he was pulled by Zhu Houzhao.

Liu Chengfeng also saluted Zhu Youzhang: "Weichen has seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhu saw them and said slowly: "Liu Aiqing is in the middle of the class, Houzhao, you have seen Zhu Chenhao, the king of the upper school, he wants to compare with you, are you willing to try it with him?" ”

Zhu Hou didn't even look at Zhu Chenhao, and said: "This is great, I can meet with all the clansmen, and my sons dare to disobey their orders." ”

Among the hundreds of officials, many people have already made a slight smile, and Zhu Houzhao's demeanor made many ministers nod secretly, feeling that this prince had not seen him for a few days, and he actually had a little bearing.

"Okay, in that case, come here, move the bookcase, bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but I don't know who will do the question?" Zhu Youzhu didn't drag the mud and water, but this time it was Zhu Jinjun, which meant a bit like letting you let the horse come.

Zhu Jinjun said: "Cabinet scholar Xie Qian is upright and will never cheat, and the old minister thinks he can." ”

Xie Qian's name of uprightness is indeed known in the United States, he is straightforward, can speak well, the biggest advantage is to do things impartially, even if he hates you, but the official affairs are separated, there was once a speech official impeached him for illegality, a few years later, the official was convicted, Xie Qian thought that the official was not guilty, so that he collided with the emperor on the spot, smashed the tea cup in front of the emperor, the emperor had no choice, and then called the Dali Temple to remand for retrial, and then the official was not guilty, and the official was reinstated.

Xie Qian's reputation is great, even the emperor may not be able to force him to submit, Zhu Jinjun chose Xie Qian as the examiner, which can be regarded as a bit of insight.

Zhu Youzhu smiled quietly and said generously: "In this case, please ask Xie Aiqing to solve the question." ”

Xie Qianzhan stood up and arched his hand: "The minister obeys the order." ”

At this time, the eunuchs had already placed dozens of bookcases in the palace, and the bookcases were full of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and the officials retreated some of them, and even the vassal kings stood up and retreated to the side, leaving only a group of vassal princes, young county kings and Zhu Houzhao in the palace.

A eunuch stood up, bowed down and said, "Please ask Master Xie for the question." ”！。
