Chapter 42: Learn to be obedient

King Ning was silent, this eldest nephew must not have a good heart when he summoned him back, and he didn't dare to speculate, so as not to anger Zhu Houzhao.

Now that he's back, Liaodong doesn't want to go back again!

"Uncle Huang, I've suffered all these years!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a sigh, and his tone was full of concern.

But the more enthusiastic he became, the more uneasy King Ning was in his heart, and he was able to use his rebellion as an excuse to empty most of the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan, Zhu Houzhao is definitely not a soft-hearted person, and the reason why he is kind and angry with him must also be useful to him.

Employing people forward, not facing backwards, the traditional skills of the old Zhu family!

"The sinners deserve it."

"I don't know what Your Majesty has to tell you to find the guilty minister."

If he doesn't figure out Zhu Houzhao's purpose, he won't be at ease, there's no way, he's already scared!

Seeing that King Ning was so knowledgeable about current affairs, Zhu Houzhao no longer played any uncle-nephew harmony with him, and said straightforwardly: "I really need Uncle Huang's help in something, as long as Uncle Huang can help me facilitate this matter, I can restore Uncle Huang's title of prince." ”

King Ning was slightly stunned, although he was thrown to Liaodong to cultivate land due to the failure of the rebellion, but his title of prince was not revoked, Zhu Houzhao tempted him with the restoration of the king title, what is the difference between it and the white wolf with empty gloves!

wants to use him as a pawn and not give him any benefits, which is very good.

But he has no choice, unless he wants to go back to Liaodong to continue farming, he doesn't think about himself, he also has to think about his children, the descendants of the dignified Ming royal family have been nesting in Liaodong, and he has to suffer from Zhang Yong's angry eunuch, what is it like.

"The criminal minister is a deserving person, and his majesty's mercy can save his life, and his majesty's kindness to the criminal minister is higher than the sky, and the criminal minister only hates that he can't go to the soup for his majesty, and his liver and brain are ruined."

In the end, King Ning still chose to give in and do things for Zhu Houzhao, he may have no power in the second half of his life, but at least it will not be a problem to enjoy his old age.

In Liaodong, he had seen too many people burying their bones in the wasteland, and he didn't want to end up in such a dismal end.

Zhu Houzhao was extremely satisfied with King Ning's attitude, and sure enough, only in Liaodong can people who are disobedient learn to be obedient, and let people who are "iron-clad" know that they are afraid of imperial power.

"Uncle Huang said that it was funny, you and I are both descendants of the Zhu family, descendants of Taizu, how can I bear to let you go to the soup."

"I just want Uncle Huang to say something and set an example for the kings of the world."

Zhu Houzhao no longer grinded, and said his meaning straightforwardly: "Uncle Huang must have heard that I have recently changed the law in Daxing, but there are many obstacles, among which the kings are even more difficult to overcome, I hope that Uncle Huang can support my change." ”

"What does Your Majesty want the guilty minister to do?"

King Ning asked calmly, but his mind became more and more confused, what ability did he, a vassal king who failed to rebel, have the ability to support Zhu Houzhao.

"The kings of the world have occupied a large amount of land since the division of Taizu, how did most of these lands come about, presumably the emperor also knows that I hope that the emperor can sacrifice all the land, set an example for the kings, and call on the kings to support the law."

"I do this for the sake of our Zhu family, there will be less and less land, and there will be more and more displaced people, once it reaches the point of no return, the Ming Dynasty will come to an end, and Uncle Huang, as a descendant of Taizu, must not want to see that situation happen!"

Zhu Houzhao said in a high-sounding manner that part of his changes were for the people of the world, but more for himself and for his imperial power.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the coast of the land, it is not the king's ministers, everything in the Ming Dynasty is his, the Ming Dynasty can only have his voice, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty is also his, and if he eats him, he has to spit it all out for him, the vassal king group is like this, and other interest groups are no exception.

King Ning was covered in cold sweat, he understood everything, why did he rebel, Zhu Houzhao didn't kill him, and kept his king title, just waiting for this day!

As early as when he failed in his rebellion and was captured alive, his fiefdom and family property were all confiscated, and it was all used as an excuse to support Zhu Houzhao's reform, anyway, he didn't have to do anything, but if he really did what Zhu Houzhao said, the impact would be great, and he would become the public enemy of the kings of the world.

King Ning supported the emperor's change of law and handed over all his belongings, if the vassal kings of various places did not respond, then Zhu Houzhao would have a reason to deal with the kings, only caring about his own selfish interests, regardless of the country's social affairs, this alone can easily handle the kings.

Taking King Ning as an example, in response to Zhu Houzhao's changes, and handing over the land he plundered by various means, it is tantamount to cutting flesh and bloodletting on the bodies of the kings, they will never be able to do it, when it comes to greed, the vassal kings of various places are no less than the various power groups, and even more than that.

With King Ning as a benchmark, whether the vassal kings of all places support it or not, they will not be able to escape the palm of Zhu Houzhao's hand, unless they dare to learn from King Ning to rebel.

But do they dare, they don't dare, after Zhu Di succeeded in Fengtianjing, because he was also born as a vassal king, he was extremely vigilant and jealous of the vassal king's group, deprived the vassal king of all kinds of rights, completely raised them as pigs, let them make money and enclose the land, it was okay to do nonsense, rebellion, whether he could hold a knife or not was a problem.

If it weren't for the freak like Wang Yangming, with the support of the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan, he might really be able to make some good noise.

was able to raise an army to rebel, and there were many people to support him, King Ning's brain was still enough, and he instantly figured out the pros and cons of Zhu Houzhao asking him to speak out in support of the change, and it was a little difficult to choose for a while.

If you support Zhu Houzhao, even if you have no worries in the second half of your life, you will offend the vassal group to death, and if you don't support Zhu Houzhao, the ghost place in Liaodong may be the place where he is buried.

After thinking for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, King Ning finally made the right choice: "Your Majesty has a plan for my Ming Dynasty to build a thousand years of inheritance, and the guilty ministers have no reason to obey." ”

Most of the vassal kings are like stupid pigs, and they can't become any climate, even if they offend to death, it doesn't matter.

As long as I can live comfortably, I don't care if the vassal kings everywhere will die or live.

King Ning can be regarded as completely open, although he and all the kings of the world belong to the vassal king group, but he is now difficult to protect himself, what qualifications do he have to consider for the vassal kings of various places, and the most important thing is to live freely.

"Uncle Huang is full of patriotism, I am very relieved, I hope that other imperial uncles can also be as sensible as Uncle Huang, and think more about the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Hou came as soon as he opened his mouth according to the scene, and he didn't notice that the reason why King Ning became so obedient was all due to Zhang Yong, one of his eight tigers.

Don't eat well, don't dress well, don't sleep well, and work non-stop all day and night, under the oppression of all kinds of means, not to mention King Ning, who has been pampered since childhood, is those who often boast that they are iron-clad and are not afraid of everything The scholars have long had a nervous breakdown and learned to be obedient, but it is useless to learn to be obedient, and it is impossible for those people to come back before Liaodong is thoroughly developed.
