Zhu Youzhen took the song and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, Zhu Youzhen was a little surprised by this,

He did not understand why the civil servants would take this victory against the Manchus so seriously, and even hoped that he would sacrifice filial piety to the tomb with it.

Because after the first victory against the Manchu Qing Dynasty before, the civil officials did not suggest that they sacrifice to the filial piety tomb, why did they attach so much importance to it this time, and even said that it was a great achievement that could comfort the ancestors of Tian'en.

As the saying goes, the wind starts at the end of Qingping, and Zhu Youzhen doesn't think that the content of this piece of music is just as simple as sacrificing himself to the filial piety tomb.

Zhu Youzhen thought about it and felt that these civil officials deliberately exaggerated the merits of the Ming Dynasty's victory over the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the south, and it seemed that they were flattering themselves on the surface, but in fact, they were only afraid that they wanted to use this to kill themselves, so that they thought that they had done a good job as the emperor, and their merits were enough to compare with Yao Shun, at least they could hand over the file to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

And the purpose of these civil officials is just to discourage themselves from the Northern Expedition.

But what Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that this cabinet vote was so fast this time, and even with the celebrant and the celebrant so quickly, it can be seen that there are already many officials in the cabinet and the central department of internal affairs such as the celebrant and the celebrant who don't want to go on the Northern Expedition anymore.

"Okay, if you approve it, you will approve it, and the Ministry of Etiquette will arrange it."

Zhu Youzhen did not stop the cabinet and the celebrant from this resolution, because now there is no way to fully see the purpose of these civil officials based on this note alone, Zhu Youzhen thought of coming down the donkey with a move, and this time he first promised this advice from some civil officials, so that these civil officials mistakenly thought that they were really a little complacent and wanted to comfort Taizu and then settle down in the south, so that they could know the next move of these civil officials.

As the emperor, Zhu Youzhen did not believe that there was no civil official who did not want to go on the Northern Expedition, and there was no one who did not want to stand up at this time to stop the idea of these civil officials trying to steal peace.

Zhu Youzhen felt that only by letting these civil officials tear them apart could he achieve his goal of further reforming the interest structure of the Ming Dynasty by taking advantage of the infighting among the civilian clique.

Even, Zhu Youzhen also said directly to Lu Jiude: "This person named Cheng Jun understands the way of benevolence and filial piety, so promote him to Shao Zhan Shi." ”

On the day of the sacrifice, Zhu Youzhen cooperated very well with the ceremony arranged by the Ministry of Rites to carry out the sacrifice to Zhu Youzhen, this is not the first time he has come to the Tomb of Filial Piety, but at this moment in this day of spring 0 light, he is still the first time to come to the Tomb of Filial Piety, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Zhu Youzhen saluted Zhu Yuanzhang according to the ceremony and secretly muttered to himself: "Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang, you can't blame me for coming to this point, if it weren't for my hard work to keep this half of the country, otherwise, with the ability of your descendants, as early as three years ago, your Ming Dynasty would have been almost defeated." ”

"And now it's good, these descendants of yours don't know how to thank me, but they still sing a duet with me, but don't worry, I will clean up your unscrupulous descendants for you!"

Zhu Youzhen said that he wanted to clean up Zhu Yuanzhang's unscrupulous descendants, naturally referring to the vassal kings such as Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, and Zhu Youxiang, the king of Fu, he would not be led by the nose by these civil official groups, he is only silent about the Northern Expedition now, but how to transform the vassal king is something he has been concerned about.

However, not long after Zhu Youzhen completed the sacrifice to the filial piety tomb, Zhu Youzhen received another note, which came from Xu Ke, the priest of the country, but the content was that the palace where His Majesty Zhu Youzhen lived was not rebuilt, and the imperial tomb was not built, which made the officials feel uneasy and so on.

Zhu Youzhen saw this recital and confirmed it even more, confirming that these civil officials wanted him to shift his attention to repairing the palace and building the imperial tomb, and the implication was that he wanted to dilute the idea of the Northern Expedition.

However, this time, Zhu Youzhen chose to stay in the middle of the country, and he never gave these civil officials who did not want to go on the Northern Expedition a clear confidence.

At this time, the officials who hoped for the Northern Expedition began to think that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was still enterprising and still wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, otherwise why would they still not care about such important matters as rebuilding the palace and the imperial mausoleum.

Therefore, the officials who hoped that the imperial court could go on the Northern Expedition also began to play the sparse, and the first to play the sparse was the Zuodu Imperial History Chen Chunde, Chen Chunde directly mentioned that the people of the world should not forget that there are still twelve imperial tombs in the northern capital that no one takes care of, just like the northern capital is occupied by the Hu people, as a minister should not be at ease in the south of the Yangtze River, the Northern Expedition should be made as soon as possible, and the northern capital should be recovered to revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

When Chen Chunde said this, the officials who didn't want the Northern Expedition naturally did not dare to oppose the Northern Expedition openly, but they still found an excuse that the Northern Expedition should be suspended, on the grounds that now that the Ming Dynasty has just experienced a major war and the war in the southwest has not stopped, the imperial court should rest with the people during this time and so on.

The officials of the two factions who supported the Northern Expedition and demanded the suspension of the Northern Expedition and did not even want the Northern Expedition began to quarrel, but Zhu Youzhen, the emperor, did not participate, and now he only thought about how to solve the problem of the vassal king by taking advantage of this contradiction between the two factions of civil officials.

King Lu and King Fu naturally needless to say, they themselves and their families were going to be executed, and the other vassal kings who did not follow the incident, Zhu Youzhen's idea was to place all these vassal kings back to Beijing, but their fiefs were not canceled but were ready to be rearranged.

"Now these vassal kings are in the field, although they do not participate in local government affairs, but they do not play a role in shepherding one side for the imperial court, but they are easy to be instigated by villains to raise trouble and raise troops, threatening my Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, and now this King Lu and King Fu are this example, so the official means to recall all these vassal kings back to the capital, so that it is easy to supervise."

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Gao Hongtu, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, my Ming vassal kings actually have little influence on the imperial court in terms of rebellion, after all, they have no military power and no matter what they do, it is unjust, Weichen thinks that what they really threaten my Daming is the good land they occupy, these vassal kings have too much good land in their hands, but they don't pay taxes, so Wechen thinks that the most important thing now is how to return the land occupied by these vassal kings to the people." ”

"I've already figured out how much land these vassal kings have, and I'll give them ten times as much land in exchange," Zhu Youzhen said.

Gao Hongtu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Liu Wanchun, the head of the household department, were surprised, and Liu Wanchun exclaimed even more: "Your Majesty, didn't we say before that the biggest drawback of the vassal king is that he occupies too much land, why do you still have to exchange ten times the land?" ”

"What I said is that this ten times the land is here", Zhu You checked the location of the Americas and Oceania in the whole map of Kunyu Wanguo and said: "You can change the territory of King Gui to a certain place here, you can seal the territory of King Tang here, these lands are vast, not to mention ten acres is twenty acres, I am willing to change." ”
