The four vassal kings were still hesitating, and they were already surrounded. Moreover, the guards who rushed over each had their weapons, and they looked like they were vicious, and they were eager to eat a few of them.

Zhu Gaosui, the bastard, shouted even louder, "Escort, escort!" ”

Something is wrong?

Obviously, he wanted to settle accounts with Xu Jingchang, but how did he become an assassin?

We don't want to kill you, not at all!

Acting Wang Zhu Gui's brain was still more flexible, and he hurriedly shouted, "Don't get me wrong, we're looking for Xu Jingchang, don't get me wrong!" ”

Zhu Yu saw that the wind was not in the right direction, and also shouted, "We are here to see Your Majesty, not to plot against you...... Xu Jingchang, you framed us! ”

At this time, Xu Jingchang had already run to the main hall, Zhu Di was sitting upright, and when he saw him sweating and panting, he couldn't help but reproach: "Anyway, he is also an important minister of the imperial court, and he is about to get married, there is no solemnity, what kind of system is it?" ”

Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are not dignified, it's really too big, and it has to be like this." ”

"How old? Can you still rebel? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "It is true that there are people who have rebelled, and the minister will now impeach Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, Zhu Gui, the king of Liao, Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Lu, the king of Gu...... The four kings came in and had the intention of assassinating His Majesty. ”

Zhu Di frowned and snorted, "What about them? Bring it to me! ”

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui escorted the four princes and came in from the outside.

Seeing Zhu Di, these four people were wronged, "Your Majesty, your brother has been bullied, I beg Your Majesty to call the shots for your brother!" ”

"Xu Jingchang is uneasy and kind, he framed Zhongliang!"

"Your Majesty, let the ministers call the shots!"

……

Zhu Di frowned, they were arguing like this, Zhu Di couldn't understand it, so he could only hum: "Be quiet, I'm not confused, say them one by one." ”

The four princes immediately shut up, they were hesitating who would say first...... Xu Jingchang saw the stitches, "Your Majesty, the four kings are shouting to kill the ministers, if you don't believe Your Majesty, you can ask, is this the case?" ”

Zhu Di frowned and looked at a few people, "Xu Jingchang is right?" ”

Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, said: "There is such a thing, but ......"

"Shut up!" Xu Jingchang suddenly shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister is the governor of Jinyi Wei, and the Son of Heaven is close to the minister, if they want to kill the minister, it is the side of the Qing monarch!" ”

Zhu Di listened to it in his ears, and his face changed suddenly!

The Son of Heaven is sacred, extraordinary...... Therefore, if you want to rebel, it is best not to attack the Son of Heaven directly, but to say that the Son of Heaven was deceived by the ministers around him, so he must clear the side of the monarch.

As for whether you will be cleaned up in the end...... Just look at Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Di has just staged a perfect Qing Jun side, which makes these three words have a special meaning in the Ming Dynasty.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" Zhu Di questioned the four stinky younger brothers with thunderous anger.

No matter how stupid King Qi and the others were, they understood what was going on, they were cheated by Xu Jingchang.

"Your Majesty, Xu Jingchang is isolated from inside and outside, and does not let us face the king, he is a traitor, and Your Majesty must believe him."

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Rong angrily and snorted, "I ask you, do you want to kill Xu Jingchang?" Did you say that? ”

Zhu Yan was shocked, and his momentum was gone.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui stood up at the same time, "Playing the father, the sons and ministers can see it clearly, several uncles are chasing Dingguogong, arrogant and very domineering!" ”

These four vassal kings are crying, two nephews, we are a family, we are all surnamed Zhu, you can't turn your elbows out!

"King Qi, I asked you, did you say that you wanted to kill Xu Jingchang?"

Faced with Zhu Di's questioning again, King Qi had to admit, "The courtier's brother is just angry for a while, how can the minister have this thought......"

"Don't say it."

Zhu Di suddenly stood up and said angrily: "I have always loved you, the imperial examination and the imperial brother are gone, I have tried my best to take care of you and sympathize with you...... Jianwen cut the domain, if I hadn't saved you, I don't know how many would have survived? I don't want you to take care of the overall situation and serve the country wholeheartedly, but you can't be so arrogant and bold! ”

Zhu Di walked in front of Zhu Yan and stretched out his hand to poke his head, "Do you know who Dingguo Gong is?" He is the deputy envoy of Pingzhang, the governor of Jinyi Wei, and the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, and the prince of Shaobao...... I have given him the responsibility of teaching the prince. Such an important minister, you dare to chase him around? How dare you do it right under my nose. I ask you, those local officials, whose status is not as good as Xu Jingchang, are not in Beiping, far away from my eyes. Are you beating and scolding at will, taking what you want? ”

Although Zhu Di did not clean up the four people on the charge of rebellion on the side of the Qing monarch, he spoke more and more seriously, and actually mentioned what they were doing in the fiefdom.

The four princes finally felt that something was wrong, the fourth brother was using the topic to play!

Zhu Di continued to scold: "As the king of the clan, you must set an example and lead the world. We can't corrupt our Ming dynasty, and we can't embarrass the imperial exam! ”

Zhu Di was very emotional, "When I was named King Yan, I immediately went to Fengyang, when I was in Fengyang, I wanted to know the people's suffering, to know that it was not easy to start a business in the imperial examination, and to learn how to be a vassal king...... When you are young, you are late, and your father loves you and does not let you suffer. As a result, you are getting more and more nonsense, you really forgot, our Zhu family goes back three generations, what the hell is it for! Rampant and bullying the people, ask yourselves, are you not ashamed? ”

At this moment, all of Zhu Di's dissatisfaction with the brothers of the vassal king was released, and they were all scolded stupidly.

King Qi could only kneel and kowtow, "Fourth brother, the younger brothers are confused for a while, please raise your noble hand and give the younger brothers a chance to reform themselves, and the younger brothers must change their minds......"

"It's late!"

Zhu Di suddenly shouted angrily: "Didn't the imperial examination warn you at the beginning? How did you ever take the words of the imperial examination to heart? Now, I'm afraid that I won't take my fourth brother seriously. The son is not a grandfather, let alone a brother. You are chasing Xu Jingchang today, which seems to be an unintentional move, but in fact, it reveals that you have no awe, and you don't take the national law to heart at all. It hurts me to see you like this! ”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, he wanted to kill them, but he couldn't do it, as a brother, it was really not easy.

The four princes could only kneel on the ground, trembling and begging.

At this moment, Xu Jingchang saw it in his eyes and hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, I think that although the actions of the four kings are arrogant, they are the Ming clan, the son of Emperor Taizu, and the siblings of His Majesty...... It's not hopeless to think of them. ”

Zhu Di rolled his eyelids, "You are the one who sues them, and you are the one who pleads." What exactly are you going to do? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "The minister is really worried that they intend to rebel, but the minister listened to His Majesty's words and gained something. Back then, Emperor Taizu asked His Majesty to go to Fengyang to experience the suffering of the people, and His Majesty benefited a lot, right? ”

Zhu Di nodded, "That's still there...... I walked all the way, and every time I passed by, I stayed in the people's houses and ate the same things as the people. When I arrived in Fengyang, I went to visit everywhere again, knowing that the imperial examination was difficult at the beginning, and even went to the field to plough the fields. There was also a plague of locusts and relief for the victims. ”

Recalling the past, Zhu Di was very emotional, "As a child of the clan, you can't be diligent and not divided, let alone ignorant of the people's suffering, act recklessly, and ruin the foundation of the Zhu family." ”

Xu Jingchang immediately said: "My Emperor Shengming...... But the minister also wants to say that after many years, if I go to Fengyang at this time, I am afraid that I will not have the original state of mind, and His Majesty seems to have another way to help several princes choose a school and understand these things well, so as to be a good prince. ”

Zhu Di thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are right, it is true that you want to set up a school to teach the children of the clan...... By the way, Xu Jingchang, don't you have experience in running a school! Tell me about it. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this school is the most taboo empty talk, especially for the children of the clan, you can't just learn the four books, five classics, and eight articles...... It is necessary to prescribe the right medicine and teach the real skills. A vassal king must be proficient in military affairs and be able to lead troops, and martial arts courses are indispensable. The vassal king also needs to know civil affairs, finance and taxation, criminal names, great work, and rivers...... The rest of astronomy, calendars, and medicine should also be dabbled. In short, they need to be well-versed and excellent in character and learning, so that they can be competent in the duties of vassal kings. ”

These four princes were confused when they heard this, and they wanted to make them all-rounders in civil and military affairs?

Is that what it means?

Zhu Di smiled and nodded, "Xu Jingchang, what you said is good, I agree with it...... Can you run this school well? ”

"Your Majesty, there are still some difficulties, but the minister is full of confidence. If His Majesty can transfer the money of the palace to the ministers to run the school, it will be the best. ”

Zhu Di snorted: "No, don't mess with your thoughts, how can I rob my brothers of Yulu, you are simply a bad idea...... But running a school cannot be without money. In this way, the three guards of the palace will be temporarily abolished, and this money will be transferred to you to run a school, and when they have learned well, they can serve as the vassal king, and I am arranging people for them. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Xu Jingchang is about to kowtow to Zhu Di, you Zhu Laosi is really ruthless, although there are a lot of vassal kings, but after all, they are only one person, but the three guards of the palace are at least five or six thousand, and the king of Yisai has more soldiers and horses, and the expenses that can be saved by cutting their military power can be compared to Yulu?

Between their singing and harmony, they have arranged several vassal kings clearly.

King Qi and the others are not fools, especially Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, who has the biggest temper...... There is nothing left, and it will fall into the hands of Xu Jingchang as a student!

"Fourth brother! Do you treat your little brother like this? It's chilling! You might as well kill your little brother, let me go to the imperial examination, and beg him to be the old man's master. ”

"Shut up!" Zhu Di was furious, "What are you talking about?" ”

King Qi was stunned, and he also felt panicked, and fell to the ground to plead guilty.

At this time, Xu Jingchang said again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what King Qi said and this means means that he wants to enter the academy and study hard to understand reason, Your Majesty must not be punished without teaching." ”

Zhu Di said coldly: "Can you teach him well?" ”

Xu Jingchang said calmly: "It's not just a bad student, it's not difficult at all." ”
