"He wants to cut the domain, and he wants to deal with me, and he still has to welcome him?!"

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, in the Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang County, when the Changshi of the Fuwang Mansion came to tell Zhu Changxun that he needed to go to the gate of the palace to welcome Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Changxun lost his temper almost immediately.

"Your Highness, the form is stronger than the person, if you are soft today, you will always have a chance to get it back in the future."

Fuwang Mansion Changshi cautiously persuaded, while Zhu Changxun gritted his teeth.

In his opinion, Zhu Changluo, the father of the two Zhu Youxiao brothers, had never played with him, if it weren't for the support of civil officials, the throne should have been his.

Now that feng shui is turning, he actually has to go out to meet his unsightly son Zhu Changluo.

"Zhu Youzhen ......"

Zhu Changxun gritted his teeth, and remembered Zhu Youzhen, who was beside Zhu Changluo and was carried on his back by Zhu Youxiao, before he became a vassal......

He never dreamed that he would greet that cowardly boy who only knew how to hide behind Zhu Youxiao ten years later, and he had to listen to him!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Changxun felt that there was a fire burning in his chest......

"Your Royal Highness, time ......" The palace chief Shi vaguely reminded the time, but Zhu Changxun glared at him:

"Got it!"

After that, even if Zhu Changxun was helpless, he still called someone to send his three sons, and then went to the gate of the palace of King Fu with them.

The Luoyang wind and snow at the tail of the moon are not too big, but they are still a little cold.

The older Zhu Youxiang is okay, but the younger Zhu Youju (wood) next to him is not good.

The two shrank their necks, and Zhu Changxun, who was watching, felt distressed, so he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Zhu Youzhen, that kid hasn't come yet?" He asked the chief of the royal palace, and the long history said:

"The county officials said that they just entered Luoyang City a quarter of an hour ago, and it should be soon......"

As soon as he responded to this, Zhu Changxun and the others heard the dense sound of horses' hooves.

Zhu Youxiang is older and knows that his relationship with Zhu Youzhen and others is not good, but Zhu Youju and Zhu Youhua don't know.

The two brothers looked curiously at the end of the long road, and then saw hundreds of horsemen dressed in scarlet robes appear at the end, and a young man in a cyan round-necked robe who was guarded among them.

"What kind of score to put ......"

Looking at Zhu Youxiang's appearance, Zhu Changxun gritted his teeth, and Zhu Youxiang also pulled the two younger brothers who poked their necks into the elder.

The horses were fast-paced, and behind the team were some children dressed in coarse linen clothes and carrying baskets on their backs.

They followed the back of the procession, just to wait for the army to pull the dung, put the horse dung in the basket, and sell it for money.

Zhu Youzhen did not ask someone to drive them away, but when he came to the gate of King Fu's mansion with people, he said to Lu Wenzhao:

"Reward them with some money and let them go home."

"Yes......" Lu Wenzhao responded, and Zhu Youzhen also turned over and dismounted, and glanced at Zhu Changxun, who was not good-looking.

At present, Zhu Changxun is only thirty-six years old, his figure is not very tall, but he looks like five feet four or five inches, and his weight is not as exaggerated as in his later years, so he can only be said to be a little fat.

His face was white, and when Zhu Youzhen saw him, he knew why his imperial grandfather liked him so much.

Without him, compared to his own cheap imperial exam, Zhu Changxun looks more similar to Emperor Wanli, and it can be said that he is more similar than Zhu Youxiao.

It is understandable that people like children and grandchildren who look like themselves, and Zhu Youzhen can understand it, but this does not prevent him from attacking Zhu Changxun.

"My nephew has seen the third uncle...... Zhu Youzhen bowed his hand, and although Zhu Changxun was unwilling, he still spoke:

"No need to be polite, I don't know what King Qi's nephew is going to do when he comes to Luoyang this time."

Zhu Changxun's tone was cold, but Zhu Youzhen didn't care, but smiled heartily at Zhu Youxiang and the others:

"Presumably this is Brother Wang and the two Brother Wang!"

"Brother (brother) of King Qi is so ......" Zhu Youxiang returned the salute with his two younger brothers, and Zhu Youzhen also nodded, and then said to Zhu Changxun:

"This time, of course, there is something."

After that, Zhu Youzhen said unceremoniously:

"The clan was reformed, and at the behest of His Majesty, the fields of the feudal lords were abolished and replaced with cash."

"Nian Fu Fan is the blood of the emperor's grandfather and the brother of the emperor, so the prince of the Fu Fan has 10,000 taels of silver and 3,000 taels of the county king."

Who wants your money?! Zhu Changxun scolded in his heart.

You must know that although the Fu Domain is a new domain, Zhu Changxun is favored by Wanli, and the number of fields is 2 million mu.

These two million acres of land were allocated from Henan, Huguang, Shandong and other provinces, and were collected according to the imperial court's thirty endowments and handed over to the vassal king.

In other words, Zhu Changxun can earn more than 100,000 stones every year just by farming.

This is not counting the 1,300 Huai salt granted to him by Emperor Wanli, the Huai salt does not have to pay taxes at all, and the annual income seems to be only a few thousand taels of silver, but Zhu Changxun, like Zhu Youzhen, uses a small amount of salt to lead and sells a large amount of private salt.

In this way, the annual income of the Fu Fan is more than 100,000 taels, and this is only the annual income.

In fact, from the beginning of the dispute over the country, Emperor Wanli often gave Zhu Changxun the rare treasures collected by the mine supervisor.

When Zhu Changxun got married, he spent 300,000 taels of silver, and the construction of the palace cost another 280,000 taels.

It is precisely because of the indulgence of Emperor Wanli that Zhu Changxun was able to sit on an equal footing with the Zhou domain as a new domain.

How much silver did the cheap emperor's grandfather give his good third uncle, Zhu Youzhen didn't know.

But what he knows is that he has to spit out as much as he eats.

The "pig killing plate" of overseas feudal lords is aimed at this group of clans with silver......

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen raised the corners of his mouth, and then said to Zhu Changxun:

"Third uncle, don't you invite your nephew to sit in the carrier hall?"

The ...... asked Zhu Changxun to frown, but he still made a gesture of please, and Zhu Youzhen stepped over without fear and walked towards the palace.

Seeing this, Lu Wenzhao immediately lined up in two rows with hundreds of horsemen to escort Zhu Youzhen into the Fuwang Mansion, while Zhu Changxun walked to the carrier hall with his three children with jealous eyes.

I have to say that the construction scale of Luoyang Fuwangfu is large, which is not much better than the Zhou Wangfu of the Zhou Domain.

The wall is one zhang high all around, and there are inner palaces, outer palaces, and four palace gatehouses.

At the beginning, Zhu Changxun made Luoyang a feudal domain, "enjoying a great country and being a feudal auxiliary", and his status was very prominent.

However, the original scenery has become a hot potato now, and Zhu Youzhen also has a headache for Fu Fan.

If Wenchen can deal with his two brothers, then there is no doubt that he supports Zhu Changxun.

It is also simple to solve this matter, that is, Zhu Youzhen directly pulled out a knife and slaughtered himself, a good third uncle.

But the problem is that Zhu Youzhen can see that his royal brother doesn't want to fall into the name of slaughtering his relatives.

Even if Zhu Youzhen caused an accident by himself and let a group of people from the Fu Fan die in an accident, those Wenchen would still take advantage of the topic to play.

How powerful the literati's pen is, Zhu Youzhen has a deep understanding of this.

Therefore, since you can't kill, it becomes a good way to drive the opponent far away, and you can get a lot of silver.

Sitting in the carrier hall, without Zhu Youzhen opening his mouth, Lu Wenzhao asked people to lay a wide world map in front of Zhu Changxun.

Zhu Changxun glanced at it, and at the end he only said one sentence: "This picture is very good, much better than "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu". ”

"Hehe......" These words made Zhu Youzhen laugh when he heard it, and couldn't help but say:

"Third uncle, why do you pretend not to understand? I'm afraid you already know what your nephew said to Zhou Fan and the other feudal clans, right? ”

"How's it like to be a feudal overseas?"

Zhu Youzhen got straight to the point, and Zhu Changxun's facial muscles twitched when he heard it.

At this moment, he had already come up with hundreds of possibilities for Zhu Youzhen to kill him.

Crossing the sea and falling overboard to die......

This thought flashed through Zhu Changxun's mind, and he said in the next second: "Living alone in the Central Plains, overseas is barren, and I don't want to leave." ”

"Eh......" Zhu Youzhen got up with a smile and said:

"Overseas vassals are a national policy, how can the third uncle covet the gentle hometown of the Central Plains?"

"Don't say that the third uncle, you, are nephews, and in the future, you also need to go overseas."

After that, Zhu Youzhen took his pear blossom tree from Lu Wenzhao, and then pointed to Nanya Dao:

"At present, all the feudal domains are preparing to establish a domain here, all because the land of Tianzhu has been developed for thousands of years, and after it is laid, there will be fertile land and mineral deposits."

"If the third uncle is not willing to be here, then he can also go to Levia (Africa), although Levia is undeveloped and is a wild land, but the local products are rich and suitable for the domain."

"Oh...... Then since this is the case, it is better to leave it to the prince's nephew. Zhu Changxun's expression and appearance made Zhu Youzhen squint.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's squinting, Zhu Changxun was inexplicably a little panicked, but quickly calmed down.

There are only a handful of relatives of the old Zhu family who were killed, as long as they don't rebel, they won't end up in a different place at all, even if they rebel, then with the identity of less than three suits, they will at most imprison the Fengyang high wall.

Thinking of this, Zhu Changxun cheered up again, and Zhu Youzhen continued:

"Third uncle, why do you bother? Staying in the Central Plains is not a good thing for you. ”

In front of Zhu Youxiang and others, Zhu Youzhen vaguely threatened Zhu Changxun.

Maybe for Zhu Youzhen, the other feudal clans still need to be kind and pleasant, but he is not so polite to the Fu Domain.

The other feudal domains, except for Zhu Youzhen's three imperial uncles in the capital, did not have the strength and reputation to threaten the rule of their imperial brothers at all.

But Zhu Changxun is different, just by virtue of the dispute between Wanli and the ministers, he has the name of raising troops.

The ghost knows if Wenchen will find out a copy of the edict left by Emperor Wanli, and the content is still the edict of Zhu Changxun.

Although Zhu Youzhen is confident that he will lead the troops to suppress Wenchen while making small moves, if he can put an end to it, then why let it develop to the worst?

"Third uncle, what do you mean by staying in Daming? He was imprisoned in Luoyang all day long, and was not allowed to move around. ”

"It's better to go there and be free, isn't it?"

Zhu Youzhen said, got up and walked to Zhu Changxun's side, and said to Zhu Changxun:

"If the third uncle is not at ease, he can choose his own ship, choose his own people, and follow the fleet to the West to go overseas after three years."

"At that time, you can first establish a shipyard overseas, and then use the ships from your own shipyard to send yourself overseas."

"You can rest assured......" Zhu Changxun was nervous, but he still pretended to be calm.

"Hehe......" Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, just smiled, and then said:

"This map is left here, if the third uncle has a place to look, he can choose it."

"It's just that this land will be abolished from today, and the land that the third uncle bought by himself can be sold to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, or it can be kept for land."

"One acre of land for 100 acres overseas, if you don't worry about the soldiers and horses, you can also train these three royal brothers after three years."

Saying that, Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Youxiang and the three of them, and the moment Zhu Youxiang and Zhu Youzhen looked at each other, they lowered their heads inexplicably.

"Think about it, don't become the pawns of those corrupt people......"

Zhu Youzhen reminded vaguely, and Zhu Changxun is not a fool, he knows the meaning of the other party's words.

"That's all there is to it, the salt introduction and the field will be abolished from today, and the third uncle can receive the silver every year."

Leaving the last sentence, Zhu Youzhen turned around and left with Lu Wenzhao and the others.

Zhu Changxun looked at his distant back, and then looked at the map spread on the ground, his facial muscles twitched, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He wanted to resist, but the problem was that judging from the current news, the outer Gongwei battalion in Shanxi had entered the boundary of Henan, and the Gongwei battalion in Beizhili had also gone south to Shandong.

Henan and Shandong already have soldiers and horses directly under Zhu Youzhen, and it is impossible for him to recruit troops even if he wants to now.

"Xiang'er, starting today, you and your two younger brothers will study the book of war together."

Zhu Changxun opened his mouth to Zhu Youxiang with a gloomy face, and Zhu Youxiang opened his mouth, wanting to speak and stopped, but finally obeyed: "Erchen takes the order......"

Whether Zhu Changxun accepted his fate or not, Zhu Youzhen did not know, but it was very easy for the soldiers and horses of Shanxi and Northern Zhili to enter Shandong and Henan to dismantle the guards.

He led his troops to move to Bishui Pass, quietly waiting for the guards in the two provinces to be removed.

Compared with the resistance of the local guards, in fact, the obstacle to the real abolition of the two provinces came mainly from the imperial court......

——————

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......"

Time passed, and the world ushered in the first day of the first month of the third year of the Apocalypse.

The rebels of the White Lotus Sect in various places were encircled and suppressed one after another, and the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor were removed in Henan and Shandong.

Several vassal kings in Shaanxi were willing to give up their fields in exchange for receiving silver every year.

The 300,000 main auxiliary troops in Guizhou withdrew more than 100,000 at once, which made the pressure on Yu Chongming and others drop sharply.

But just a few thousand miles away, most of them are mountains and forests, and they can't support the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command at all.

Zhu Xieyuan's continuous encirclement and suppression, I believe that it will not take long to completely quell the rebellion.

Millions of displaced people in Henan and Shandong, as well as lazy people in the three provinces, began to move to Liaodong at the same time as the health center was abolished.

Zhu Youjian was not surprised, but he didn't know that the capital was noisy......

"Abolish Shandong, Henan and other local health centers, may I ask Your Majesty, you do this! Why is it that the scholars from the world's guards are born?! ”

In the capital, unlike the previous two years, this time the court meeting was not held in the Wenhua Palace, but came to the Huangji Hall of the three major halls of the outer court.

After getting more than two million taels of silver from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to repair the three major halls.

The three major halls of the Emperor's Palace, the Middle Pole Palace, and the Jianji Palace, after more than 20 years, finally re-established.

However, because of financial problems, the repair speed of the Middle Pole Hall and the Jianji Hall was very slow, and the Huangji Hall was completed before the Zhengdan Festival because of Zhu Youxiao's design and arrangement.

Because of this, the magnificent Huangji Hall once again became the home of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and Zhu Youxiao also prepared a lot for this Great Dynasty Meeting.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as the court meeting began, someone would start impeachment.

It seems that after the last year's Great Dynasty Meeting climbed the Longzui Cannon, the Great Dynasty Meeting also lost its former peace, and the person impeached this time was not the mouth cannon within the Donglin Party, but the Qi Party......

At this moment, Qi Shijiao, the leader of the Qi Party, is questioning the emperor, and he has completely lost the appearance of getting by in the past.

His questioning is also because most of the officials within the Qi Party are military officials from the Du Siwei Office and the Bei Wei Wei Office.

This time, the rebellion in Shandong and Henan was suppressed, and the Qi Party originally wanted to spend a year with its tail between its legs, after all, the rebellion was organized on their territory.

But the problem is that they can't stand Zhu Youzhen's toss and dismantle the health centers in Shandong and Henan, which is undoubtedly to dig up the roots of the party......

Not only the Qi Party, but also some officials within the Donglin Party are officials from Henan Wei, so after Qi Shijiao stood up, some Wenchen in Donglin also wore court clothes, held wat boards, and shouted sadly:

"Your Majesty, aren't the guards your courtiers—"

"Please Your Majesty stop King Qi, don't let the world's guards chill!"

The hundred officials sang, and Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair of the Imperial Palace, because his face was blocked by Yuhan, so the ministers couldn't see his specific expression.

However, it is not difficult to guess that the emperor should be very angry at the moment......

"I ...... Didn't you give acres of land to the soldiers and soldiers......"

The voice that was so calm that he couldn't hear a trace of emotion sounded in the Imperial Palace, which made many Wenchen "chuckle" in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, the ministers, etc., do not mean that there are no military households and no military tuntian, but ......" Qi Shijiao wanted to explain, but Zhu Youxiao forcibly said:

"The reform of the King of Qi is in accordance with my will, and the military tuntian in the family of the military family and the son of the soldier is retained after the abolition of the guard post according to the number of hours granted by the official position at the beginning."

"If the acres have been preserved, why should there be dissatisfaction? Could it be that the soldiers of Shandong and Henan provinces have seized the military tuntian? ”

"This is naturally not, please Your Majesty to calm your anger......" Qi Shijiao continued to respond, and lowered his head.

"Since it won't, there's nothing to argue!" Zhu Youxiao set the tone of the matter and said:

"Grant the king of Qi to be the general strategy of recovering Liao, control the soldiers and horses of Shanxi, Beizhili, Liaodong, Shandong, and Henan provinces, and wave his army before the end of the autumn harvest, and this year must recover the entire territory of Liaodong!"

"Your Majesty thinks twice—"

Zhu Youxiao's words blew everyone up.

Zhu Youzhen's military ability has been recognized, and with such military ability to command the recovery of the entire territory of Liaodong, it is bound to be easy to recover Liao.

If Zhu Youzhen easily recovers Liao, then the emperor's prestige will be pushed to an unparalleled level.

After the restoration of Liao, I am afraid that the whole Tianxia Guard will be abolished.

Such a move made the eight parties of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuankun, Donglin, Qin, Sichuan, and Fujian join together, and it is rare to refute the emperor with a unified opinion.

On this New Year's Day, in this Imperial Palace, and in this great court meeting, the imperial power and Wenchen clashed, and this confrontation shocked everyone.

How many years, since the dispute over the country, the Ming civil officials have not been so united for more than ten years.

But even if they united this time, they still seemed very weak in the face of imperial power.

The nine sides have been eliminated from the five sides, and the remaining four sides have less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and even fewer than 50,000 can pull out field fighters.

At this point, not all soldiers and horses may be driven by civilian officials.

How many soldiers and horses are there in the capital at the moment? The three guards of the imperial city, the general of the Han Dynasty, Wanping, Daxing camp, Jingying, and the five cities of the Soldiers and Horses......

Nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, if you really want to play a coup d'état, Wenchen can't enter the imperial city at all.

Of the 200,000 soldiers and horses, excluding the three guards and two battalions directly under the emperor and the Han generals, there were only 170,000 left.

But the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division can bully the people, and the Beijing camp only has the ability to defend the city.

Expect these 170,000 people to break through the imperial city? Just kidding......

Before they could reach the imperial city, Lu Long, Shenwu, Yingyang and other guards stationed in the north waved their troops south to encircle and suppress the traitors.

Frontal combat, unfavorable ......

Roundabout fighting, no......

For a time, Wenchen was in a dilemma, because neither in terms of righteousness nor in other aspects, they could not reject the emperor's move to dismiss Wei Suotian.

If the emperor abolished Wei Suotian and merged it into the imperial village, they would naturally have an excuse to refuse.

But the current dismantling measures that are being carried out in the south are to divide the land to the people......

The people are not stupid, and when they look at the fields that have been divided, they will not believe the nonsense of the so-called fellow villagers at all.

Unless the so-called townsmen can give them more land, how can this means, the courtiers and the local gentry be able to use it?

If you can't show it and refute it, then you can only honestly let Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qi, serve as the general manager of the restoration of Liao, and after the restoration of Liao, the whole country will be abolished.

Does Zhu Youzhen have this strength? The mother is undoubted.

With more than 400,000 soldiers and horses under his command, he can completely dismantle the remaining provinces.

If it weren't for the 400,000 soldiers and horses who still needed to defend the long Great Wall, I'm afraid Zhu Youzhen would have freed up his hands to clean them up.

Zhu Youzhen, that is an even more difficult existence than the emperor sitting on the dragon chair right now.

"Scatter!"

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao no longer debated with Wenchen, or torn his face.

The matter in the southwest has been roughly finalized, Sun Chuanting and others led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Central Plains has 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Zhu Youzhen.

Shanxi, North Zhili, and Liaodong also have their own soldiers and horses stationed.

It can be said that at present, two-thirds of the territory of the Ming Dynasty is accompanied by soldiers and horses implicated by Zhu Youzhen.

Wenchen's political methods are good, but no matter how well he plays political methods, he can't play with knives made of steel.

The knife is stuck in the neck, what to say and what not to say, they know better than anyone else.

Zhu Youxiao left in front of the ministers like this, and the atmosphere of the court meeting in the third year of the Apocalypse was extremely stiff.

"Tearing ...... face"

These four words are in everyone's hearts, and the only thing that Wenchen can rely on now is the governance power of local officials.

I don't know if with this power, I can still wrestle with the imperial power for a few years......
