Chapter 379: The Arrival of the Kings
() Coming to the door, Zhu Yunwen also breathed a long sigh of relief, at least in his opinion, the fourth uncle should not have the heart of rebellion. He looked back at the courtiers around him, and instructed them to allow Zheng He to enter the palace, as well as to settle the other entourages of King Yan, and finally said,
"Also, let King Yan move to the Dongnuan Pavilion, and during this time, I will also live in this Qianqing Palace, you go and tell Huang Zicheng about them."
"Minion Command."
The courtiers agreed to do it.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt that most of the burden on his body was instantly relieved, and the rest were no longer difficult, because compared to the fourth uncle, the other uncles didn't matter. If they can obey themselves, then they can smoothly promote the matter of cutting the feudal domain until it is completed, and in the end, the fourth uncle must be the auxiliary minister around him, and the uncle and nephew will protect the Ming Dynasty together, which is really good.
But what he thinks in his heart, those ministers naturally don't know that today Zhu Di entered the court and walked the imperial road, ascended to the throne without kneeling, in their opinion, it is natural that "it is tolerable, which is unbearable". Some of them just talked about it, but some still wanted to remind the emperor, no, the household servant Zhuo Jing asked to see him again.
Above the court, Zhuo Jing couldn't help it, but at that time, Zeng Fengshao opened his mouth first, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say. Now seeing that the emperor put Zhu Di under house arrest in the palace, he said in his heart, this is a good time, and he must not be let go back, so he immediately wrote down a recital and came to the palace to wait for the decree.
Hearing that he was coming, Zhu Yunwen had guessed his intention, but the minister came but avoided it, this is not his style, so he said,
"Let him in."
The inner courtiers went to pass the word, and there was not much time, Zhuo Jing walked in, knelt down and kowtowed, and said after he was flat,
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book."
"Even if you have a book, can't you play it again in the early dynasty, why are you in such a hurry to see me?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at him and said.
Zhuo Jing saluted upward,
"Back to Your Majesty, what the minister played, I think Your Majesty should have made a decision early."
"Yes,"
Zhu Yunwen chuckled and said,
"Okay, show it to me."
quickly looked at it, and saw that it was still as he expected, it was to impeach King Yan, and in the middle of the compromise, Zhuo Jing advocated that Zhu Di should be eliminated immediately to prevent future troubles.
He actually asked me to get rid of the fourth uncle-
Zhu Yunwen was very unhappy in his heart, and said secretly, the person you want to get rid of, that is my fourth uncle, and now there is only one one left among the elders who can still get close, why do these ministers have to let me bear the name of killing my uncle?
Thinking in his heart, he put aside the folds he had seen,
"Okay, I've already seen it, Zhuo Qing retreat."
"But, Your Majesty, this King Yan is powerful, if you don't get rid of it early, I'm afraid it will be too late in the future!"
Zhuo Jing refused to give up and continued to work hard to advise.
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said,
"I have already said that King Yan and I are close relatives, so you don't need to discuss this matter anymore."
"Your Majesty!"
Zhuo Jing raised his voice anxiously,
"Aren't Yang Jian and Yang Guang close relatives back then?!"
"Presumptuous,"
Zhu Yunwen walked in front of him in a few steps, raised his hand and slapped him with his sleeve and said,
"Don't talk nonsense, don't give me a step down quickly!"
"Minister, retire."
Zhuo Jing knew that it would be difficult to convince the emperor no matter what, so he had to kowtow and retreat.
Do they think I'm conniving at the fourth uncle?
Zhu Yunwen looked at the folds in his hand and began to sulk, the fourth uncle was the only prince who came to the Hajj by edict, if he detained him and imprisoned him, how could it be justified? Now it's time to move on to the other kings.
Thinking of this, he immediately remembered the matter of this pilgrimage to the new king, these uncles of his really didn't take their nephew in their eyes, it seems that they have to give them a little color, find a suitable punishment, and kill the majesty of the kings, but who should they attack?
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen thought of one person, that is, his seventh uncle, Zhu Rong, the king of Qi.
Speaking of this King of Qi, he is also one of the vassal kings who have a very close relationship with King Yan, and he has a proud temperament, and he has never looked at himself once when he has met several times. What's more, in the joint drill provoked by the fourth uncle last time, he who was not the king of Sai actually led his troops to follow, and several other Sai kings could not move for the time being, but this King of Qi was different, and this time he was just going to take him.
made up his mind in this way, and Zhu Yunwen immediately found Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai and asked them to collect information about Zhu Rong, the king of Qi.
After that, whether he wanted to or not, Zhu Di was still moved to the Dongnuan Pavilion, mainly because Zhu Yunwen didn't want him to be disturbed by other people, and he didn't want to see the fourth uncle and those subordinates who went to serve him, talking and laughing, so he put him beside him, and he could also watch him all day long and observe his actions at any time.
During this period, Zhu Di was nested in the warm pavilion every day, refusing to take a step, the only thing he did was to let Zheng He go to the imperial study, take a lot of books, and then bury his head in watching. Sometimes Zhu Yunwen would call him out compulsively, and tried to ask some things in the court, but every time he was pushed back with the excuse of "the minister is the vassal king and must not interfere in politics". It's just that the tone in which he said these words was not so much cautious as he was still in a mood and a temper.
The more arrogant he is, the more his fourth uncle, His Royal Highness King Yan-
Zhu Yunwen felt more and more that there was no need to attack him for the time being, his decision to solve the other kings first, and finally decide how to deal with the fourth uncle depending on the situation.
Time passed day by day......
Finally, after hearing the report, his uncles basically entered Beijing one after another, and he can be said to be fully prepared, and Zhu Yunwen is about to take the next step.
When he got up early, he instructed the chamberlain to tell Zhu Di to prepare for the court, and when they met, Zhu Yunwen found that the fourth uncle's face was a little pale, thinking that he had been busy with rent exemption and tax reduction in the past few days, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, why did he suddenly become like this, and asked busily,
"What's wrong with Fourth Uncle, is he unwell?"
"No, I just didn't get much sleep last night."
While talking, Zhu Di barely cheered up and said,
"It's out of the way, Your Majesty, let's go."
"Okay,"
Zhu Yunwen nodded and ordered,
"Let's go to court."
It is still on the Fengtian Palace, but today after the civil and military officials congratulated, they retreated, and with the passage of "announcing the king's visit", the kings came up to the hall and bowed together.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at his uncles, and felt that someone had not arrived, so he raised his hand and said,
"Uncles of the Emperor, stand still, stand aside."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although it still seems a little reluctant, it will eventually surrender.
