Zhu Houzhao knew Shi Wenyi's difficulties, and glanced coldly at the vassal kings, and the Tailong Divine Sword appeared in his hand and handed it to Shi Wenyi.

"I will give you the sword I carry with me, and give you the right to cut first and then play, no matter who dares to block the investigation of Yangzhou thin horses, they will be killed."

"You can rest assured to investigate, I will give you a cover if something happens." The royal clan participated in the operation of Yangzhou Thin Horse, which also happened in the Taiwu Dynasty, for which Zhu Houzhao also killed several vassal kings.

The current dynasty that was pressed by his iron-fisted means is still like this, not to mention the vassal kings of other dynasties, there are not a few people who have been involved in Yangzhou thin horses.

If Zhu Houzhao didn't personally give Shi Wenyi a platform, Shi Wenyi might not have been able to get those lawless vassal kings.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations." Shi Wenyi took the Tailong Divine Knife and confidently assured that with the support of the emperor, he would not be afraid of anyone coming.

The imperial power concession, cut first and then play, is his confidence.

"I don't even let go of my own family, why did our old Zhu family give birth to such a cold-blooded and ruthless bastard." Seeing Zhu Houzhao aiming the butcher's knife at the vassal king group again, Lao Zhu couldn't help but scold Zhu Houzhao in his heart.

As a descendant of the old Zhu family, but does not protect the people of the old Zhu family, Zhu Houzhao is not the emperor of the old Zhu family.

Fundamentally speaking, Zhu Houzhao is very similar to Lao Zhu, with the same ruthlessness and the same ambition, but he is not like it at all.

treats Lao Zhu's own people, even if he commits a heinous crime, Lao Zhu reprimands him at most, which is vividly revealed in the body of King Qin and King Jin.

Zhu Houzhao is different, as long as it is the person who blocks the road of his grand cause, whether you are a vassal king or an official, all of them are treated equally, and they are killed.

Lao Zhu is first the emperor of the Zhu family, and then the emperor of the world, Zhu Houzhao is only the emperor of the world, and the imperial family is also among the people of the world.

This is the difference between Lao Zhu and Zhu Houzhao, and it is also the most essential difference between the two. Behind Lao Zhu, the faces of the vassal kings and ministers of various dynasties were extremely gloomy, and it was obvious that they all had a lot of interests in Yangzhou's thin horse business.

Zhu Houzhao wants to clear the existence of Yangzhou Thin Horses, that is, to cut off their financial routes, and they hate Zhu Houzhao to death in their hearts, but they feel powerless.

His personal strength dominates the world, and the power he has in his hands is enough to sweep through all, even if he hates Zhu Houzhao deep into the bone marrow, he has nothing to do with Zhu Houzhao.

Times have changed, no matter how noble the status is, no matter how huge the power, you have to succumb to the unstoppable absolute strength.

Compared with the removal of Yangzhou thin horses and the cutting off of countless people's financial routes, Zhu Houzhao's subsequent proposal to turn various dynasties into states did not even set off a little storm, and passed extremely smoothly.

The Hongwu Dynasty became Hongwu Prefecture and appointed Fang Xuanling as the state lord to preside over the affairs of Hongwu Prefecture. The Yongle Dynasty became Yongle Prefecture and appointed Du Ruhui as the state lord.

The Xiaokang Dynasty became the Xiaokang Prefecture; Hongxi Dynasty became Hongxi Prefecture; Xuande Dynasty became Shixuande Prefecture; Orthodoxy became a sinful state; Jingtai Dynasty became Jingtai Prefecture, and Chenghua Dynasty became Chenghua Prefecture; The Hongzhi Dynasty became the Hongzhi Prefecture; The Jiajing Dynasty became Jiajing Prefecture; The Longqing Dynasty became Longqing Prefecture; The Wanli Dynasty became Wanli Prefecture; The Taichang Dynasty became Taichang Prefecture; The Apocalypse Dynasty became the Apocalypse State; Chongzhen Dynasty became Chongzhen Prefecture; Turning the Fifteenth Dynasty into a big state under the new Ming Dynasty dominated by the Taiwu Dynasty, everything is a matter of course, but Lao Zhu and Zhu Di and others are as black as coal, and it is difficult to see the extreme.

Seeing their great country become the territory controlled by others, this feeling is simply not too embarrassing, it makes them even more uncomfortable than killing them.

Zhu Houzhao's father Zhu Youzhang's face is not good-looking, not because Zhu Houzhao turned his Hongzhi Dynasty into Hongzhi Prefecture.

Instead, he was annoyed that Zhu Houzhao did not believe what he said, and said that he would properly arrange King An and his former ministers, but as a result, Zhu Houzhao did not let King An participate in the family meeting on the Zhaoming Stage.

disappointed, extremely disappointed, Zhu Youzhu understood that he, a good son, didn't take his promise to him seriously at all, and turned his head and forgot it.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't forget to arrange King An and Hongzhi's old ministers, how profound is the memory of Taiyi's peak powerhouse, how can it be forgotten.

The fundamental reason is that Zhu Houzhao is still hesitating about what kind of treatment should be given to King An and Hongzhi's former ministers.

The old ministers of Hongzhi are also tidy, let them go with the public to participate in the scientific examination, and choose the capable ones to take them.

But King An is a little tricky! Zhu Houzhao knew in his heart that King An's eyes were low and he couldn't become a big climate, so he didn't have to worry about him becoming a big trouble and threatening Zhu Qiyuan's status, and it didn't matter if he was given an idle vassal king, he would just raise a pig.

But Zhu Houzhao just promulgated the title of king for the children of the royal family on the front foot, and he gave his cheap brother the king on the back foot, how should the people of the world view him, how can he serve the public, and he still wants the face of the emperor.

The most important thing is that if King An is crowned king, what will the other vassal kings who have been stripped of their titles feel, and it will be a big trouble at that time.

Therefore, if King An wants to obtain the title of vassal king of the new Ming Dynasty, it is not something that Zhu Houzhao can decide at will, and Zhu Houzhao has to consider the impact of this matter.

There is a way to choose the lesser of two evils, in order to ensure that his will is strictly implemented, Zhu Houzhao has no choice but to be cheeky and not to keep his promise to his father.

In the angry eyes of the emperors, vassal kings, and ministers of various dynasties, the celebration banquet of Wuying Hall came to a perfect end.

Of course, this perfection is for Zhu Houzhao, and for other people who are not from the Taiwu Dynasty, there is only a stomach full of complaints and anger.

A Zhaomingtai family meeting and a Wuyingdian celebration banquet, their interests were almost deprived.

....... After the celebration banquet of Wuying Palace, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian, Gao Gong, Shen Shixing, Ye Xianggao and other ministers of various dynasties gathered together to discuss how to protect their own rights and interests.

They can see clearly that the former emperors such as Lao Zhu Zhu Di are unreliable, and if they want to maintain their own interests, they have to rely on themselves.

After scanning everyone over and over again, and making sure that there were no spies from Jinyiwei, Li Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty are unified, and the Taiwu Emperor is obviously not easy to mess with, if we want to get back the benefits we once had, we need to cooperate sincerely and plan together." ”

"What Gong Li said is very true." In order to protect their own interests, everyone abandoned their original identities. What about coming from different dynasties, in the face of naked interests, none of them are worth mentioning.

"We are already grasshoppers on a rope, I hope you don't do things that hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy." Although he was quite satisfied with everyone's attitude, Li Shanchang still warned everyone meaningfully.

It's not that he doesn't trust these people, it's that there is no trace of trust between them at all, and they are all brought together because of interests.

Gather because of profit, can also disperse because of profit, it is not good that someone sold them in order to please Zhu Houzhao, therefore, the necessary warning is to give everyone a reassuring pill, so that everyone does not think about being a wall grass.

As long as the interests are in place, there is nothing that cannot be sold, as an old fox in officialdom, Li Shanchang knows these people's temperament too well.

The grass on the wall, the wind blows on both sides, describing these officials who only have interests in their eyes. People in the rivers and lakes, for the sake of righteousness, can stick a knife in the ribs of a friend, and they will not hesitate.

And these old fritters in officialdom who have been mixed in officialdom for many years are the other extreme, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, I can insert my teammates twice.

The people in the officialdom are the most undisciplined, especially these scholars and doctors, who boast of being five people and six people in ordinary days, and they look like dogs, but in fact, they are like jackals and extremely vicious.
