Chapter 73: The King of Han Becomes a Vassal
Zhu Di lost patience and said in a cold tone: "I ask you, do you want to be a vassal?" ”
"I don't want to!"
"Good!"
Zhu Di nodded and left directly.
……
An hour later, the eunuch of the Qin Cha led the wolf-like brocade guards to come and read the decree:
"Fengtian carried the emperor and summoned him:
The king of Han has committed many lawlessness, has no eyes on the king, and does not think of repentance...... Now, deprived of the crown clothes, expelled from the palace, and entered the Xihua Gate to think about it behind closed doors, admire this! ”
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "I want to see the emperor's ......!" ”
"I'm sorry King Han, the emperor doesn't want to see you." The eunuch cleared his throat and looked at the Jinyi guard behind him, "Why don't you send King Han to Xihuamen quickly?" ”
Jin Yiwei stepped forward and saluted, "The king of Han has been offended, and he is also acting according to orders." ”
As he spoke, he ignored Zhu Gaoxu's fragrant mouth and forcibly escorted him out of the palace.
~
The news spread quickly, and all the officials were shocked when they heard it.
No one thought that King Han, who had infinite scenery in the past, would end up like this and be directly imprisoned.
They all understand that the king of Han is sunset, and there is no hope of turning over.
For a while, the threshold of the East Palace was about to be broken, showing loyalty and worshipping the dock, which made Xiaochubby a big head.
...
Qianqing Palace.
Xiaopang persuaded: "Father and emperor think twice, the second brother is not guilty of this, it is better to lift the ban and let him go!" ”
After all, he is a brother, and he doesn't want his brother to be so miserable.
Zhu Di snorted coldly: "The benevolence of a woman, how to be an emperor?" ”
"But he's your own son!" Xiaopang said, "Could it be that my father really wants to abolish him?" ”
Zhu Di froze for a moment, and flicked his sleeves angrily, "Why not?" If I die, will you be able to stop him? ”
"Hold on!"
Xiaopang is very confident, "He can't make waves, if he doesn't have this confidence, then I don't want to be this prince." ”
Zhu Di glanced at him in surprise, with a rare look of satisfaction in his eyes, he pondered for a moment, and sighed: "I'll be the wicked, you go and be a good person, let him be a vassal as soon as possible, and he can't delay any longer." ”
"Yes, my son obeys." Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Father, the queen mother doesn't know about the second brother's imprisonment, right?" ”
"No, I didn't." How dare Zhu Di let her know.
Xiaopang was completely relieved, and turned to the Yongqing Marquis Mansion, and took Li Qing to Xihuamen together.
~
Zhu Gaoxu's python robe faded, wearing only plain clothes, drinking alone, full of grievances and unwillingness.
"King Han."
"Second brother."
Regarding the greeting between the two, Zhu Gaoxu continued to eat and drink as if he had not heard it.
The two glanced at each other, walked to the table and sat down, Xiaopang was not polite, concentrated on eating and drinking, and could make more than the second child.
In a short time, a table of wine and food was almost ready.
Zhu Gaoxu could no longer be indifferent, and broke his defense: "I'm like this, and you're still robbing me?!" ”
"Don't be so stingy, big brother will compensate you for another table." Chubby said with a smile.
However, his overtures were exchanged for Zhu Gaoxu's ridicule, "Don't be pretty, I'm like this now, I'm afraid you can wake up laughing if you don't dream." ”
"Second brother, where is this, eldest brother is not that kind of person."
Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly, don't look over, "Don't pretend, there is no longer a threat to your status now, you are not allowed to go to the temple to incense?" ”
Xiao Fat smashed his mouth, and was about to say something, but was preempted by Li Qing.
"King Han, if you become a prince, or even an emperor, what will you do?"
"Of course, it is to conquer Mobei and pacify the grassland." Zhu Gaoxu was proud and looked at the boss with disdain, "Are you okay?" ”
"I can't!" Chubby said truthfully.
Li Qing also nodded: "The King of Han is brave and brave, and he is far better than the prince in leading troops to fight, but ...... These emperors have already done it, and they have done it very well, will the king of Han only copy the emperor's homework? ”
"You fart ......!" Zhu Gaoxu roared, "I don't have a chance, if I am in the position of the boss, I will be much better than him." ”
"How?"
"Specifically......" Zhu Gaoxu was stuck, and he couldn't say anything to prove himself for a while, and said hatefully, "You deliberately came to entertain me, right?" ”
"Not really." Xiaopang took over, "Actually, being a prince, or even an emperor, is not as beautiful as you imagined, if there is a choice, the eldest brother really wants to change with you." ”
"Huh." Zhu Gaoxu sneered, "You are now the crown prince, of course you can say that, how tall you are!" ”
Xiaopang smiled helplessly and said, "That's it, the eldest brother will give you half an hour, as long as you can come up with a strategy that benefits the country and the people and can be implemented smoothly, the eldest brother will give you the position of the prince." ”
He said it sincerely, but Zhu Gaoxu had been deceived by Zhu Di and was afraid, so he didn't believe it at all.
"You let? Are you the emperor? ”
"I have lied to you since I was a child?" Chubby asked rhetorically.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, fell into thought, and after a quarter of an hour, just as he was about to speak, Li Qing added: "If it's a fight, kill and kill, forget it, now the Ming Dynasty can't stand the toss, and you know that the treasury has no money." ”
"......" Zhu Gaoxu was irrefutable and was silent again.
Time passed minute by minute, but he didn't have a clue at all, and Zhu Gaoxu sadly found that he didn't seem to know anything except fighting and killing.
Seeing this, Xiaopang persuaded: "Second brother, let's go to the domain, enjoy life, what's wrong with eating, drinking and having fun?" ”
After a pause, "What is so good about being the emperor except for accepting the worship of hundreds of officials every day and being more majestic?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason.
After being entangled for a long time, he said dejectedly: "Okay, I can afford to lose, you win, I'll go." ”
Xiaopang smiled, and Li Qing also relaxed.
Finally, there is no need for internal friction, all energy can be put into reforming the new policy, and the people can rest.
……
Zhu Gaoxu was very decisive, and after returning to the palace, he immediately asked people to pack up their things, and it was night after tidying up, but he couldn't stay for a moment and set off overnight.
He doesn't have much opinion on the boss, he is angry with Zhu Di's father.
did not inform Zhu Di, and took his wife and children to Le'an Prefecture.
The palace was locked in dark, and only Li Qing sent him out of the city.
Outside the city, Zhu Gaoxu looked back at Jinling City again, the corners of his mouth flashed with a touch of self-deprecation, and he glanced at Li Qing again, "No need to send it, I won't come back in this life!" ”
"You don't have to ...... it"
Before Li Qing finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu got into the sedan chair and said coldly: "Let's go!" ”
The sedan chair driver raised his whip, the wheels rolled, and the honor guard followed.
The carriage gradually moved away, and after a while, it disappeared into the night, Li Qing sighed and turned the horse back.
……
The next day, the morning dynasty.
The news of the Han king's appointment spread in the court, the civil officials smiled happily, and the military generals were silent.
Taking this opportunity, Zhu Di officially included the apportionment into the new policy of Yongle.
In the court, Li Qing supported, Xia Yuanji helped, Jian Yi and dilute mud, and Zhu Di issued an edict of 'shooting the first bird', and no one in the Manchu Dynasty objected.
Although the officials were unhappy, the national policy was finally put on the agenda and gradually implemented in the places where the acres of land had been cleared.
The progress of the situation was unexpectedly smooth, and among them, it was indispensable for the Han King Zhu Gaoxu to become a vassal.
Sacrifice the king of Han alone, and make thousands of people happy.
The Yongle New Deal is in full swing, but Li Qing, the initiator, is extremely idle, and the specific implementation has Xia Yuanji, the upper and lower levels, and the Ministry of Officials.
Except for seeing the queen, Li Qing basically had nothing to do.
In fact, he is not the only one who is idle, Zhu Di is also very idle, who let him have a good child?
Under Xiaopang's operation, the new policy was carried out in an orderly manner, and it has been proved that most of the civil officials are still very capable if they work hard.
Of course, these are all Chubby who has fought for their welfare, and their family's taxes enjoy a seven-percent discount.
In order to compete with the officials for welfare, Xiaopang hardened his father in the court, and the father and son almost fought, but finally saved the interests of the officials.
The ministers are grateful, and even the generals have greatly reduced their prejudice against Chubby, and they also have a lot of land, and Chubby's persistence has allowed them to enjoy the benefits.
No matter how troublesome it is, once someone is more troublesome than him, then his mood will be much better.
This is the psychology of civil officials, and the New Deal cannot be stopped, and it is not unacceptable that this result can be achieved.
Taking money to do things has been the same since ancient times.
The prince has paid so much for them, and they will not let the prince pay in vain, and they work very hard.
Of course, it is more important not to work hard, and the discount is canceled.
The really unlucky are those landlords and rich gentry who have nothing to do with and have no background, and after the land is apportioned into the mu, those people pay ten percent of the taxes.
