Chapter 446: The Plan for Cutting the Domain
Zhu Yunwen's question was very simple, and he asked Hu Ye whether to continue to implement the new policy or to abandon those places.
Although Zhu Yunwen did not explain to Hu Ye what was in trouble, where else in the Ming Dynasty could he have the ability to resist the emperor's will?
Therefore, Hu Ye clearly knew Zhu Yunwen's intention on this issue.
"Your Majesty, the implementation of the new policy is for the peace and security of the country and the people, no matter where, as long as the new policy is stopped, it is against the sky, in the view of Weichen, the emperor should enforce it."
Hu Ye only thought for a moment before expressing his opinion.
"Oh?"
Zhu Yunwen was obviously surprised by Hu Ye's answer, he thought that Hu Ye would escape like just now, but he didn't answer so simply.
"And how do you say it's enforced?" Zhu Yunwen asked again.
"There are the military department books, the officials department books, and the criminal department books, how to implement it, there is no need for Weichen to say more, right?" Hu Ye glanced at the few people present, these were all human spirits, and threw Hu Ye's questions to them, and some of them glared angrily, obviously they didn't want to wade into this troubled water. Some looked at Hu Ye with a smile, and they must have secretly said in their hearts that this kid knew each other.
Regarding Hu Ye's answer, Zhu Yunwen was quite satisfied, nodded and said, "Okay, I called you here today to discuss with you how to enforce this new policy." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister asked the king of Zhou to do a lot of misdeeds, often associated with lawbreakers, and was the most resistant to the new deal. From the perspective of Weichen, the king of Zhou should be arrested and returned to Beijing and strictly examined, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the new policy and eliminate a harm for the local people. ”
As soon as Zhu Yunwen's words fell, Qi Tai couldn't wait to stand up, this is what he has been telling Zhu Yunwen from beginning to end, and now that there is finally a sign, he will not let go of this opportunity no matter what.
"Oh. Aiqing is reasonable, I don't know what you think? Zhu Yunwen nodded when he heard this, saying that he wanted to listen to the opinions of the rest of the people.
"Your Majesty, the notoriety of King Zhou has been a long time, and the people of Kaifeng have complained about him, and the emperor once severely criticized him, but King Zhou not only did not correct it, but intensified it. Therefore, Weichen reconsidered Lord Qi, and King Zhou should be strictly investigated. "Tyrant Zhao is not a person who keeps to himself, he always likes to do something.
If the king of Zhou is arrested in Nanjing, it will come. He can live the addiction of judging the prince.
"Your Majesty, although the emperor gave the feudal kings the right to appoint fiefdom officials, all the appointments of officials above the fifth rank must be reported to the imperial court. However, since the minister was promoted to the official department, he has never received the official promotion report of the king of Zhou, but as far as the minister knows, the king of Zhou rewarded officials in the fief and did not report to the court at all, which is disrespectful to the emperor. It really should be strictly investigated. Zhang Chun seemed to know that King Zhou was about to fall, so he simply added a handful of salt.
This is not over, the officials have evidence of guilt, and the military department naturally has evidence of guilt.
"Your Majesty. The first emperor ordered that the guards of each vassal king could only range from 9,000 to 15,000 people, but over the years, the king of Zhou has unscrupulously developed his own power. Not only was he able to collect the 5,000 troops stationed in Kaifeng Mansion for his own use, but he also recruited soldiers privately, and now the army in the hands of King Zhou is about 30,000. If the rebellion has already been revealed, if it is not captured at this time, I am afraid it will cause a big disaster! ”
Qi Tai said very strictly, as if what he said was true.
"I remember that when you came to Beijing a few days ago, I met with the prince of Zhou. The prince of Zhou once told me one thing, saying that the king of Zhou secretly colluded with the Mongols and intended to rebel. At first, I didn't believe it, but now that the audience said this, King Zhou's rebellion was clearly revealed, and it seemed that it was time for me to take action. Zhu Yunwen stood up suddenly, his eyes full of coldness.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of Wei Chen, it is not appropriate to publicize it at this time, since the king of Zhou has the intention of rebellion, he must also take precautions, and we must act in secret." Huang Zicheng spoke at this time, if he didn't say anything, I am afraid that these newly promoted scholars by Zhu Yunwen will seize his position.
"Oh, what is Aiqing's plan?"
"Your Majesty, wasn't King Ning assassinated a few days ago? Although King Yan sent someone to capture an assassin and send it to King Ning afterwards, we don't know if it's true or not. In Weichen's opinion, the emperor can send troops to the border to prevent this kind of assassination from happening again. During the march, he took advantage of Kaifeng and captured the king of Zhou in one fell swoop, if possible......"
Huang Zicheng muttered.
People say that dogs that can bark don't bite, and dogs that bite don't like to bark, Hu Ye didn't understand this sentence very well before, but now he understands, this Huang Zicheng is so vicious, this move will definitely catch King Zhou off guard, and even threaten King Ning. Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone knew what he meant, and it would be nice if he could kill two birds with one stone.
Up to now, Huang Zicheng's little good impression on Hu Ye has all been wiped out, and he was classified as Qi Tai by Hu Ye in his heart. Not only Hu Ye, but Yun Zichen also disliked Huang Zicheng.
In Yun Zichen's view, if the feudal domain is reduced, why should there be so many trumped-up charges?
If the king of Zhou wants to rebel, could it be that he has 30,000 troops, and the shrewd Hongwu Emperor will not be able to see it? Will he allow his son to rebel? Could it be that Geng Bingwen, who the emperor didn't know before, was to prevent King Zhou?
Originally, Yun Zichen was built before Zhu Yunwen directly issued a text, clearly saying that he would cut the feudal domain, cut the throne of the feudal kings in various places, become a concubine, and return the fiefs of the princes to the imperial court.
But Zhu Yunwen directly refused, so now Yun Zichen is also silent.
"Aiqing is reasonable, I don't know what Master Fang thinks?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded, feeling that what Huang Zicheng said was very reasonable, but he still liked Fang Xiaoru's opinion.
"Your Majesty, the old man is unwell, please go home to recuperate."
Fang Xiaoru didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, he knew that King Zhou's personality was a little worse, but when it came to rebellion and appointing officials privately, he didn't believe it.
But he also knew that Zhu Yunwen's intention to cut the feudal domain had been decided, and whatever he said would be useless, so he didn't talk about it directly and wanted to go home to recuperate.
Everyone knew that Fang Xiaoru was not sick, and thought that Zhu Yunwen would treat Hu Ye like he did just now, but he didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to directly agree to Fang Xiaoru's request.
"Since Master Fang feels unwell, he will go home to rest for two days, and then he will be on duty at the Hanlin Academy next day."
Hu Ye felt that it was very unfair, why didn't Fang Xiaoru want to get involved in this matter, and you Zhu Yunwen agreed? And we don't want to get involved, do you have to drag us into the fire pit? As a result, we have also become a big promoter of the cutting of the domain.
Fang Xiaoru left, and glanced at Hu Ye before leaving, it seemed that he had some opinions on Hu Ye's opinions, but he didn't mean anything else, which made Hu Ye even more unable to understand Fang Xiaoru.
Zhu Yunwen was able to pull him from the hands of the King of Han, which shows that he has something special. But so far, he has contributed to Zhu Yunwen in the compilation of Taizu's records, but in other places, it has not helped Zhu Yunwen. didn't even participate in such an important feudal cutting meeting, why did Zhu Yunwen still take such a fancy to him?
Zhu Yunwen's resolution interrupted Hu Ye's thinking, he thought that now things could not be delayed, if it was a minute and a half late, the king of Zhou would raise troops and come to Nanjing.
"Pass the order and let Cao Guogong lead the army to the north to prepare for the border in case the Mongols go south."
Zhu Yunwen finally obeyed Yun Zichen's construction, and the voice hit the west, this is just a holy decree on the surface, and there will be a secret decree next, that is Zhu Yunwen's true intention.
The plan to cut the feudal domain was decided in this way, Hu Ye only played a role in throwing bricks and attracting jade, and it seemed that this was the purpose of Zhu Yunwen calling Hu Ye over.
Hu Ye knew that even if he didn't come, Zhu Yunwen would still achieve this goal, but as soon as he came, he would be the first to bring it up, I am afraid that the people in the court would not know, but the vassal kings outside would definitely know.
"What a trick, this is pulling me onto the thief ship."
Walking out of Fengtian Palace, Hu Ye smiled bitterly, Zhu Yunwen deserves to be Zhu Yunwen, the changes he saw are only superficial, he is still the imperial grandson who took the lead on Penghu Island, but this time the enemy is not the Japanese Emperor, he is already the emperor.
"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be far-sighted."
Storm Zhao came to Hu Ye's side, thinking that Hu Ye dared to be the first to propose enforcement, and he was not small.
Hu Ye squinted at Tyrant Zhao, although this guy looks gentle and elegant, but the ghost knows what he was like when he tortured the prisoners?
"The tyrant has won the prize, the kid is just talking nonsense, but it can't compare to some people's talk, and the round one can be said to be square."
Hu Ye said casually and walked out quickly.
"Haha, Lord Qi, I didn't expect there to be such a strange person by the emperor's side." Violent Zhao laughed when he heard it, he naturally heard that Hu Ye was referring to Sang scolding Huai, and it was Qi Tai who was scolding.
Qi Tai's face was ugly, and he glanced at Tyrant Zhao with disdain, then flicked his sleeves and left.
"Lord Huang, why did the emperor let this kid bring up this matter?"
After Qi Tai left, Storm Zhao put away his smile and asked Huang Zicheng very strictly, because among them, Huang Zicheng knew Hu Ye best.
"Ahem, that kid was recommended by King Yan to come to Nanjing."
Huang Zicheng coughed, and then strode out.
"Recommended by King Yan?" Storm Zhao smiled, as if he understood something, "It's a little interesting, it's a little interesting, it looks like my criminal department is busy." ”
"What did you say?"
Zhang Chun was very curious, Hu Ye proposed to cut the domain, what are you busy with in the Criminal Department? Is it time to plan how to judge the king of Zhou? Don't you know that a royal clan like King Zhou should be handed over to the Zongren Mansion?
"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing, I just can't be idle."
He glanced at Zhang Chun with a grumbling laugh, and then followed Huang Zicheng's footsteps. He didn't understand, just Zhang Chun's pig brain, why the emperor wanted to be promoted to the secretary of the ministry.
"Lord Ru, do you know the secret?"
Zhang Chun glanced at Ru Yu and asked curiously.
Ru Yu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know anything either, and then left quickly. (To be continued......)
