The banquet hall with porridge and burnt meat was silent, until Zhu Zhen's cold voice broke the dead silence:

"Some people think that Yunnan is remote, rampant, and barbaric, and the officers and soldiers will withdraw sooner or later, so as soon as they hear the news, they can't wait to show their true colors, jump up and rebel, and end up like this."

"This king is here to clearly tell those people with ill intentions that the official army will not leave when it comes, no matter how many difficulties there are, we can overcome them, and we will definitely take root in Yunnan!" Zhu Zhen waved his arms and said sonorously: "The Ming Dynasty is not the Yuan Dynasty, and it has the determination and ability to manage Yunnan well." All those who are contrary to the imperial court, no matter what his identity, will all end up with these people! ”

"Therefore, Yunnan has not set up any Xuanfu and Xuanfu Division, and all of your official positions are prefects, prefectures, and counties, and officials in other provinces, except for the orders of the court, although they are thousands of miles away, they all go to Que to take up posts. During his tenure, he must also follow the orders of the imperial court, guard the herdsmen, pay taxes and help the famine, and listen to the propaganda...... The obligation to be fulfilled is also indispensable. Like the Yuan Dynasty, the days when they only surrendered in name but in fact did not listen to the tune or the announcement are gone forever! ”

Although the imperial court still allows your children and grandchildren to succeed in principle, since you are already officials of the imperial court, you will be demoted if you don't do well, and if the problem is serious, you will be dismissed. If it involves rebellion, sedition, etc., and the crime is unforgivable, the descendants will not want to inherit this matter, and let's go to the Yama Hall to reunite together! ”

The "......" toasts were terrified when they heard it, and they were like pins and needles one by one. There are ten big toasts who were burned alive as a base, who dares to take the words of the prince as a deaf ear? Nima is so brutal......

"But you don't have to worry too much, as long as you always hold that string in your heart and firmly guard the red line, the court will still treat you preferentially. For general offenses, the first offense is reprimanded, and the second offense is fined, and the third offense will be demoted. There is only one rebellion, which is an untouchable red line, and if you commit it once, you will be killed without forgiveness, and you will be removed from your official position forever! ”

"Then some people will ask, if I hadn't rebelled, wouldn't I have been implicated? This king clearly tells you, no, the court will never easily label you as a rebel - the reason is very simple, the purpose of the court is the long-term peace and stability of Yunnan, for the courtiers loyal to the court, it is too late to protect, how can you do that kind of thing that the relatives and enemies are happy? Zhu Zhen slowed down his tone and said to the local officials:

"This king will now announce a rule that no matter how big the crime you have committed, the government must give you the opportunity to defend yourself, and the king himself has seen and approved it without objection, and the government can punish you. If there is any objection, it must be retried by the higher yamen. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" When the toasts heard this, their hearts were tightly knitted, and they finally relaxed a little. With the guarantee of the prince, their position is guaranteed, at least they don't have to worry about being framed by the officials.

Originally, the chief secretary had objections to this article, thinking that it was self-tying and asking for trouble. But Zhu Zhen believes that Tusi must be given a place to reason, otherwise they will use their own methods to find justice. That's more troublesome.

"Of course, for those who have meritorious service, the court will definitely reward them, including promotions, of course. As long as you do a good job, the prefect can be promoted to the governor, the governor can be promoted to the prefect, and the prefect can also be promoted to the yamen of the capital department and the yamen of the political department. In a word, there must be a reward if there is a punishment, and there will be a reward for punishment! ”

"Uh-huh!" All the local officials nodded one after another, and now they were in a better mood.

"Oh yes, the reward for counterinsurgency needs to be emphasized in particular - for Shangguan's rebellion, if his subordinates can quell the rebellion, then Shangguan's official position is his. If you assist the imperial court to quell the rebellion, then after the war, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, and those who have made great contributions will get their positions. If no one helps the court, the court will also have the ability to quell the rebellion on its own, but then the official position will be a bad official. Isn't this king fair? ”

"Yes, yes, fair, the prince is really fair." All the local officials nodded hurriedly, and the momentum of the same hatred and hatred also disappeared with these words.

"The porridge is ready, and at the end I will talk about something light." When Zhu Zhen saw that the eunuchs began to scoop Laba porridge into the big wooden barrel, he became more and more kind and pleasant:

"Tell you about myself, this king Zhu Zhen, the sixth son of today, the king of Chu in the Ming Dynasty and the king of Yunnan, the governor of Yunnan, the commander of the military and politics, the control of civil and military, acting cheaply, and the following three grades are cut first and then played."

"The king's greatest hobby is people...... Oh no, counterinsurgency. And the king's biggest ability is to make money. Zhu Zhen continued: "But it's not to make money for yourself, but to make a fortune with everyone." You can go to the Jiangnan and Lingnan areas to inquire, has this king bragged? ”

"How can the prince brag? The prince is the god of wealth of the Ming Dynasty...... "The toasts have already inquired about his details, and they are busy flattering.

"Do you believe that if you listen to the king and do what the king says, your life will be ten times better than before? And there is no need to exploit your own people at all, but it can benefit them, and make them even more loyal to you. Zhu Zhen asked loudly.

"Believe!" The local officials replied in unison.

"Good!" Zhu Zhen laughed and picked up the porridge bowl and said loudly: "Eat porridge!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" All the local officials picked up the bowls together and ate Laba porridge with hula and hula.

~~

The prince's porridge bowl is too big, and the ingredients in the porridge are sufficient. The toasts ate three bowls per capita, and the porridge in their stomachs was almost rippling to their throats.

Zhu Zhen ate eight bowls of porridge before he put down the bowl satisfied, patted the slightly bulging lower abdomen, and smiled at the toasts: "Are you full?" It's not enough, it's ......."

"Eat enough, eat enough."

"I can't eat it, I can't eat it." The toasts were dumbfounded, they had never seen such an edible one in their lives.

In fact, not only Zhu Zhen, but also Mu Ying Lanyu and Feng Cheng's gang all started with six or seven bowls per capita. General's belly, where does the general's belly come from?

And although the toasts are rich, their lives are not rich, and they are basically thin and small, how can they have such a large amount of food?

"When we're full, we'll move to the school." Zhu Zhen picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said lightly: "This king also prepared an after-dinner program for you. ”

"Hey, good." When the toasts heard this, their legs and stomachs turned straight, and their hearts said that they wouldn't kill again, right?

At this time, the eunuchs withdrew the curtains that stood in front of them, and then the local officials saw a scene that they would never forget—

I saw behind the curtains, and there was a huge army in a strict formation.
