Zhu Dianpei, the king of Ning, and Zhu Qiongjing, the king of Tang, who also came to participate in the court meeting today, stood together, the two lowered their heads and glanced at each other, and they both saw the despair in each other's eyes.

It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the two of them to contribute money and troops, and he didn't cut them all in a hurry.

It is to set an example for cutting the domain.

Front, the court issued a letter to the world.

Later, King Ning cut the guards, King Tang sent money, and when the other vassal kings saw this situation happening, they could only be obediently fished by Zhu Jianji, and did not dare to rebel.

Difficult?

Yes, at the beginning, King Yan Jingnan only had 800 Yanshan guards to raise troops.

But at that time, Zhu Yunwen's cutting of the feudal domain directly wiped out the hearts of the entire royal family.

Now Zhu Jianji is cutting the feudal domain......

The leader is Zhu Jianshen!

Of course, everyone can still appease the Qingjun side, after all, there are courtiers around the Son of Heaven, as long as he says it, it is a reason to raise troops - Zhu Jianshen is also a courtier.

Here's the problem.

Back then, Zhu Yuwen was reused by Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and a group of sour Confucians.

Who is being reused by Zhu Jianji now?

The military department is still the book of the Ming Dynasty, and the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty is about to fall!

Most of the rest of the people in Jiuqing are scholars.

However, He Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, Zou Gan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Li Bing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Cheng Xin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Fu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and Xiang Zhong, the left attendant of the Criminal Department......

This large number of squires have rich experience in the army.

There is absolutely no worthiness in fighting a war.

What's more, there are still Hang Yu who can still eat on the side of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Fan Biao, a new master of army management, and Zhu Yong, Zhao Fu and others who have made brilliant achievements over the years.

plus the Zhenbei Army, regimental battalions, and local capital divisions......

The most important thing is that now Jingnan, who thinks that his little strength can be comparable to the 50,000 iron cavalry in Mobei?

The 10,000 young army of the East Palace can sweep 50,000 Mobei iron cavalry!

It's hard to take your head.

Therefore, Zhu Dianpei, the king of Ning, and Zhu Qiongjing, the king of Tang, can already foresee the future of them and the other vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiuqing and his important ministers in the court have seconded the proposal.

Zhu Jianshen bowed slightly, and his eyes fell on Zhu Qiongjing, the king of Tang, and Zhu Dianpei, the king of Ning, and said expressionlessly: "Your Royal Highnesses, King Tang and King Ning, do you have any suggestions?" ”

This is to force Zhu Dianpei and Zhu Qiongjing to express their positions.

Zhu Dianpei and Zhu Qiongjing were helpless in their hearts, but there was no way to do it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already sharpened his knives, and if the two dared to disagree, they would definitely not be able to return to Nanchang and Nanyang.

They all had to be imprisoned in the Ten Kings' Mansion for the rest of their lives, and even died violently.

And......

The two had already agreed to this.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just putting things on the table at the moment.

Zhu Dianpei thought about it for a while, knowing that his arms couldn't twist his thighs and thighs, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made Zhu Jianshen a villain, it was irreversible to let the two of them be the first birds.

Admit it.

Out of the column said loudly: "Weichen's Ning Wangfu has 800 guards, but Jiangxi Dusi has Nanchang Left Guard and Nanchang Qianwei in Nanchang, with more than 10,000 troops, which is enough to protect the safety of the people of Nanchang, and it is also enough to protect the safety of Nanchang Ning Wangfu. ”

After a pause, he said against his will: "I am prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, and it is the time for all parties to use money, but Nanchang has always been a barren place, and the taxes collected by the palace are limited to their own use, and they cannot serve the treasury, but the risk of national revitalization is the duty of my Zhu family's children, since there are only two hundred guards in the Ning Wangfu, Weichen asks to reduce the use of the Ning Wangfu!" ”

Install the latest version. 】

Take the initiative.

Make a good impression here in Zhu Jianji.

Now, Zhu Dianpei, the king of Ning, no longer has the slightest ambition, and he has only one idea now: follow Zhu Jianji to drink soup.

So just cooperate with it.

There must be soup to drink.

Otherwise, Zhu Jianshen would be so stupid to be this wicked person.

Zhu Qiongjing secretly said Good guy, King Ning, you are going to sell Lao Tzu, shouldn't Lao Tzu talk about the matter of cutting the degree, you said, what did Lao Tzu say?

Helpless, Zhu Qiongwei had to second.

Zhu Jianji sighed, "Is it just a cut?" ”

Zhu Dianpei and Zhu Qiongwei felt bitter in their hearts, sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not bypass the vassal king so easily, and cut the use of this matter, in fact, it is a symptom rather than a cure.

One reason why the Ming treasury had no money was to raise the vassal king.

And one of the biggest drawbacks of raising a vassal king is that the taxes of the domain are collected by the vassal king himself, and it does not enter the treasury, and there are dozens of vassal kings in the country plus various county kings, how much place can be left to collect taxes from the imperial court?

Therefore, Zhu Jianji's real goal must be to pay taxes.

And Zhu Jianji also said it.

Zhu Dianpei took a deep breath, knowing the current affairs for Junjie, since he has already stood in line, then stand to the end, don't have any scruples and luck, and immediately said: "For the sake of the country's strength and prosperity, fill the treasury, of course, not only to reduce the use of the vassal king, but also to carry out tax reform, if Weichen is not mistaken, Fang Ying rebelled back then, he went to Nanyang Tang Wangfu, Tang King Zhu Qiongjing was forced to be helpless, and gave Fang Ying a lot of grain and grass, and later Zhu Yong led the Jinyi Weiqin King from the Huguang Division, and when passing by Nanyang Mansion, Tang King Zhu Qiongjing was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, also in order to make up for his mistakes, he sent Zhu Yong a large amount of military salaries and grain and grass, where did King Tang get the money in Nanyang? Of course, it's from the taxes. The vassal kings all over the country, especially the vassal kings in the rich places south of the Yangtze River, are like the Tang kings, in this case, the tax will be reformed, and such a large amount of money can fill the treasury, and the country will be strong, so that the children of my Zhu family can enjoy the prosperous scenery created by His Majesty and His Royal Highness for a long time! ”

Get out!

Not to mention Zhu Jianji, even the ministers were shocked when they heard this.

Ning Wang ......

It's so ruthless!

directly sold Tang Wang, who had gotten along well with him for half a year.

When it is broken, it is broken.

Ning Wang Zhu Dianpei is definitely a talent!

Zhu Qiongjing was shocked inexplicably.

Lao Tzu was sold by Zhu Dianpei!

What to do?

The beheaded Zhu Qiongjing has a low EQ evaluation in the court and the opposition, and he is actually not stupid, he is not stupid when he sees this, and he is afraid that His Majesty and His Royal Highness will investigate the matter of the year, and immediately come out, "Weichen seconded the proposal!" ”

Hurry up and take a stand.

Let's reform the tax reform, anyway, the guards have been reduced, and the imperial court appropriations have also been reduced.

Even if two million taels are paid this time, the rest of Tang Wangfu's money will not be spent by himself and his descendants in a few lifetimes, and Zhu Dianpei's thoughts Zhu Qiongjing also understands.

He, Zhu Dianpei, chose to follow Zhu Jianji to drink soup.

I, Zhu Qiongjing, can also go and drink soup.

Seeing the statements of the two vassal kings, the full hall of civil and military affairs was really convinced, His Royal Highness the Prince's operation was simply an antelope hanging horns without a trace, so who else in the world would dare to object?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Although it is not possible to deal with trivial matters.

But to engage in this conspiracy......

It's too strong!

Zhu Jianji was also happy, how could he not know the thoughts of these two vassal kings.

That's fine.

Since you are interested, I will give you a sip of soup to drink.
