No matter how domineering Lan Yu is, he doesn't dare to say that the army of the Ming Dynasty is the private soldier of the leader and noble. Not to mention that at this time, he is not the Liangguo Duke who is famous all over the world and has power in the future.

At this time, he still had a pure heart, and when he heard what Zhu Su said, he quickly knelt down in front of Lao Zhu, kowtowed heavily, and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Er is definitely not what he meant!" ”

"Your Majesty, in this life, Xiao Er wants to be a well-known man like his brother-in-law! I will never be a disloyal person who supports the army and respects himself! He looked up, blood was pouring out of his forehead, and his eyes were sincere.

Lao Zhu heard him mention the late love will often meet spring, and his face was slightly soothed. Zhu Su peeked at it and breathed a sigh of relief, so he said to Lan Yu while it was hot: "In this case, what's the problem with the imperial court taking back the imperial court's military power?" ”

"Not pursuing the past, allowing the title to be retained, and enjoying wealth and prosperity is already a great grace. The fact that my father can do this shows that he is not a rabbit like Zhao Da, but a real person, and wants to share wealth and wealth with all his uncles and brothers. ”

"Since you want to be happy, then let you enjoy yourself, in all dynasties, can any emperor be lenient to this? As for those who still have the vigor and want to continue to fight for a career, the imperial court to recover the ill-gotten gains saved by you and others is also a move to enforce military discipline and correct the national program. ”

"The soldier's lunch is pure, do you think that those big families who donate their land and shops to you really have no desire and no desire?"

"Eating people has a short mouth, and this is the time when the dynasty is beginning to rise, and we must set an example for future generations. Looking back, uncles and brothers because of such things outside the body, so that the father and the emperor have to endure the pain and punish according to the law of the country, isn't it because of a small loss, the one who teaches the relatives is painful, and the enemy is happy? ”

Zhu Su's words were reasonable, and many people thought about it. Lan Yu's complexion loosened slightly, but his wealth was moving, and he was indeed greedy by nature, he really couldn't let go of his military power, and he didn't want to give up those industries in his family, so he smiled bitterly: "What His Royal Highness said is not bad, but if you don't seek wealth, we don't know why to fight on the battlefield." ”

"Confused!" Zhu Su couldn't help but get angry when he saw that Lan Yu was still there. "The general loves Guan Yunchang, don't you hear the allusion of Guan Yu hanging the seal and sealing the gold and riding alone for thousands of miles?"

"Guan Yunchang has never heard of how much land or shops he has saved for future generations. But his righteous name, even you, the Marquis of Yongchang hundreds of years later, are like a high mountain. ”

"The ambition of a husband should be like the Yangtze River running east to the sea. Why should it be insulted with copper stench! ”

"Do you want to make a vigorous career, so that future generations of men look up, or do you want to stick to the hometown of wealth and nobility, mediocrity, teach people to mention you blue jade, what comes to mind is the greedy villain, although there are one or two small skills, but they don't know the righteousness, stick to the place......"

Speaking of the idol Guan Yu, Lan Yu's whole person was suddenly shocked and sobered up. Yes, if Guan Yu was obsessed with wealth and land, he would have returned to Cao Cao and become a mediocre general. No matter how brave he is, if he does it like that, at most he will be the same as Lu Bu and the like, how can he be worthy of my Lan Yu's admiration?

Now if my blue jade is obsessed with money, wouldn't it be the same as Lu Bu, who is greedy for money and lustful? The regret of his life is that he can't cook wine with Guan Yu and talk about heroes, if he is indulged in pleasure since then and is reluctant to give up those ill-gotten gains, how can he drink under the nine springs with Emperor Guan after death?

"What His Royal Highness said, Lan Yu understands!" Lan Yu finally stopped his previous dissatisfaction, and his eyes were clear. "Lan Yu is willing to give up his family wealth, just to continue to make contributions to my Ming Dynasty!"

"You don't need to abandon your family wealth, but if you have expropriated money or ill-gotten wealth from others, you can't keep it from now on!" Lao Zhu, who had been listening quietly on the side, spoke out at this time. Thorn-headed Blue Jade admitted his mistake on the spot and voluntarily paid his family money, which undoubtedly made him very satisfied with this positive demonstration.

He glanced at Zhu Su approvingly, and then said to the nobles present: "We know that you all carry the tiger talisman used for troop transfer. ”

"If anyone is willing to rest here, you will put the tiger talisman into this bronze tassel now. If we do what we say, not only will you not have to pay your wealth, but you will also receive three times as much money. ”

"But if you don't want to pay the tiger talisman and want to continue to lead the troops...... Let's assume that you have already thought about your mistakes and are willing to hand over your ill-gotten gains. ”

"We will send Jinyi Wei to investigate well and visit one by one. If you honestly hand over your ill-gotten gains, we will not be guilty of the past, and you will continue to be your leading general. ”

"But if someone delays and doesn't pay, or wants to take advantage of loopholes, we have said everything we should say, and we will never tolerate it."

"Don't be unpredictable!"

The terrible imperial majesty once again enveloped the whole hall, and the faces of the nobles were as pale as earth, but no one dared to say a word. It took a long time for Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng and several others to hand over the talismans, which also meant that they were willing to give up their military power and die in the countryside with glory and wealth.

"Okay." Lao Zhu didn't frown at them coldly, but his tone was quite pleased. "Come, pass on our will, Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng will restore the titles of Marquis of Yan'an and Marquis of Ji'an from now on, increase the salary by three times, and return them to the fief. His children and grandchildren from generation to generation can enjoy the glory and be related to my Ming Dynasty! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng knelt on the ground, because they were unclear with Hu Weiyong, these two brothers and sisters who thought they could rely on Hu Weiyong's power to go one step further and win the title of Duke of the Kingdom were once again removed from the title by Lao Zhu, and the military power in his hands was also swept away, which is also the reason why he was able to hand over the talisman happily.

It's just the military power of 1,800 people, so it's better to honestly take it out and exchange it for wealth.

Now that the knighthood can be restored, it is a surprise for these two people. Like Zhu Liangzu and others in the past, he was already demoted to a concubine by Lao Zhu, and he didn't even have the opportunity to enter the palace today.

Seeing that the two brothers did not anger His Majesty, but received the emperor's favor, some other Huaixi nobles also slightly let go of the big stone in their hearts, and a few more people mustered up the courage to step forward and put the tiger talisman in their arms into the bronze stalk. Lao Zhu also appeased them one by one, and there was no anger or disdain.

These people are also relieved.

"Alright. No one is willing to hand over the military power, so let's assume that you are willing to take the initiative to pay your family wealth and accept the purge of the imperial court. "Old Zhu Dao.

Everyone in the audience was silent, after all, everyone gave up a lot of things, although it was their own choice, but it was also painful.

"Come on, send Ji'an Hou and Yan'an Hou back to their homes." Lao Zhu ordered. "The others stay for the time being, we still have military affairs to talk about."

When Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng and others heard this, they hurriedly retired. They knew that from now on, they would no longer be the core of the Ming Dynasty. If the emperor wants to talk about national affairs, he will naturally ask them to avoid suspicion.

These people are stunned in their hearts, but they have no turning back when they open their bows, they are willing to fall into depravity, and they are willing to be eliminated for the sake of the petty profits in front of them......

"Alright." not only solved the problem of avoiding death, but also screened out those who had no fighting spirit among the nobles, and Lao Zhu's mood was quite relaxed. He poured himself a bowl of Kuding tea and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained next, let's talk to you about some benefits that you are interested in." ”

As he spoke, Lao Zhu gestured to Zhu Biao and Zhu Su, and the two brothers agreed, and Zhu Su opened the long box that Fang had just brought. And Zhu Biao left the table, obviously taking over Lao Zhu's words.
