Chapter Ninety-One: Death
Kiyohe Annex
Knowing that King Jingjiang was escorted to the capital and temporarily arranged for him, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, immediately ran to meet King Jingjiang.
His purpose is naturally not to talk to King Jingjiang about the length of the family and the shortness of the family, but to see the jokes of King Jingjiang, who is also a local vassal king, and there is another one who is about to fall into the dust like him, he is extremely happy and gloating in his heart.
"King Jingjiang, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same!"
King Ning's face was filled with a false smile, and his heart was very happy.
He's not the only one who is unlucky!
"Zhu Chenhao, what are you doing here?"
King Zhu Youqi of Jingjiang has a lofty attitude towards King Ning.
Although they are both kings of the Ming Dynasty, he thinks that King Ning is not at the same level as his King Jingjiang, who is his ancestor, and who is King Ning's ancestor, how can they be compared.
Even in his eyes, the throne of the Ming Emperor should belong to his Jingjiang King lineage, the young and the old are orderly, the respect and inferiority are different, and the source of his Jingjiang King lineage Nanchang King Zhu Xinglong is the eldest brother of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and this throne should have the share of the Jingjiang King lineage.
It's just that the destiny is not in me, so that Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the cheap as a little boy, and let Zhu Di usurp the throne successfully, so that the Ming Dynasty throne has not been his turn to be the head of the Jingjiang king.
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for many years, so I came to see King Jingjiang."
"Now that I see it, King Jingjiang is really in spirit, and his demeanor has not diminished back then!"
King Ning was not angry, he still looked smiling.
Zhu Youqi is a person who stands on the edge of the cliff and may fall into the abyss at any time, so why should he be as knowledgeable as Zhu Youqi.
I really thought that the one on the throne was Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youjiao, who was extremely tolerant of anyone, this time Zhu Youqi offended Zhu Houzhao ruthlessly, and if Zhu Youqi was not made half dead, Zhu Houzhao would not give up.
King Ning was already looking forward to Zhu Youqi being sent to Liaodong to experience the suffering he had suffered before.
"If you come to mock this king, then you don't have to."
Zhu Youqi's face was slightly cold, and anger grew in his heart.
He was forcibly taken from the palace by Jinyiwei, and then brought here under house arrest, which can be described as extremely embarrassing, untidy and messy appearance, King Ning just said that his demeanor had not diminished back then, and he was clearly mocking him.
"King Jingjiang misunderstood, this king just came to you to catch up with the past, how could he mock you!"
King Ning sat down by himself, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted the taste, this tea is not a famous tea, but he does not dislike it, compared with the ghost place in Liaodong, the current life is already very satisfying for him.
Only after experiencing pain did he understand how beautiful the capital was.
"King Jingjiang is very unwise this time, conniving at the family to kill officials, and disrespecting His Majesty, you do this, it is not good for King Jingjiang."
"Heh, it's just that he killed a dog, and he Zhu Houzhao can still kill this king."
Zhu Youqi said disdainfully, relying on the special status of King Jingjiang, he didn't believe that Zhu Houzhao could do anything to him!
His ancestor is Zhu Xinglong, the eldest brother of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Xinglong's son is Zhu Wenzheng, the first hero of the Battle of Hongdu, one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that the King of Jingjiang is not only a royal family, but also a founding noble, with a special status and status, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, it is the only one, Zhu Houzhao does not dare to touch him.
Good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts!
King Ning shook his head without a trace, Zhu Youqi was simply crazy, and still thought that Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to touch him, what did he rely on, just the three words King Jingjiang?
In other emperors, with the three words King Jingjiang, no one dares to touch Zhu Youqi, but Zhu Houzhao is not an ordinary person, in his eyes, there is no one who can't move.
Blocker, extinguish!
Whether it is the clan of the vassal king, the gentry and the wealthy families, the noble and high-ranking officials, without exception.
King Jingjiang is already a dry bone in the grave, and the end of the period is not far away!
King Ning is 100% sure that Zhu Houzhao will definitely take advantage of this matter to make a big deal, and it is even possible to completely erase the Jingjiang King's lineage from the Ming royal family.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings guarded one side, the strength was strong, and the number was not too many, and the court spent money to support it, and the money that needed to be spent did not have much burden on the Ming finances.
However, with the success of Zhu Di's Fengtianjing, the deprivation of military rights to the vassal king, and the implementation of the pig-raising policy, the vassal king had nothing to do, so he could only vigorously enclose the land to make money, indulge in lust, and reproduce offspring.
Until today, the Ming royal family has reached tens of thousands, each of which has to be raised by the imperial court with money, which is a large expenditure, Zhu Houzhao is unwilling to raise a group of pigs that are useless to him, and it is imperative to reduce the clan, this time King Jingjiang made trouble and gave Zhu Houzhao a good opportunity.
In fact, the problem of the vassal king faced by Zhu Houzhao is quite easy to solve, if it changes to the Chongzhen world, it will be called trouble, and the large number of descendants of the vassal king will be counted, and he will also make a riotous operation of using the family to pretend to be a clan and defraud the court of money.
As many as one million people from the old Zhu family, who can imagine what an incredible situation it is? Pigs are not as good as those vassal kings.
"King Jingjiang, you made a big fuss this time, Your Majesty is afraid that he will not let you go easily, you have to be mentally prepared?"
Knowing that Zhu Youqi was dying, King Ning still kindly reminded Zhu Youqi of the moment.
It's not that he suddenly changed his mind, but that he wants to push Zhu Youqi to stimulate Zhu Youqi's rebellious psychology, and with Zhu Youqi's arrogance, it will only make Zhu Houzhao more angry in the end, and Zhu Youqi will be completely finished at that time!
Although he still bears the title of King Ning, he is actually just a puppet used by Zhu Houzhao to deal with the vassal kings in various places, with no real power and no benefit.
"Zhu Houzhao is just a stinky child, he dares to do anything to this king."
Zhu Youqi said proudly, and at the same time did not forget to glance at Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, with disdain.
His ancestor is Zhu Xinglong, the king of Nanchang, and Zhu Chenhao's ancestor is Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who was played by Zhu Di, and the two of them have different identities and statuses.
Zhu Houzhao, as a descendant of Zhu Di, was ruthless to the descendants of King Ning, which was a matter of course, and he didn't think Zhu Houzhao had the courage to do so.
When he said this, his posture could be described as arrogant, and he grasped the temperament of a local vassal king to death, and he didn't notice that a pair of eyes outside the door that almost wanted to kill were staring at him.
"The Emperor's ......"
Liu Jin cautiously approached Zhu Houzhao and asked Zhu Houzhao what he meant, as long as Zhu Houzhao nodded, he immediately rushed in, took Zhu Youqi, who had no emperor, and brought him back to Dongchang to serve well.
"Humph......"
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, turned around and left, and became even more determined to kill Zhu Youqi, a king of Ning can't let the vassal kings of all places know that he is in awe, so add a king of Jingjiang.
Among the vassal kings, he has a special status and is useful to others, but to him, it is just bullshit.
King Jingjiang is dead, what he said, Lao Zhu can't stop him when he comes.
