Chapter 756: The Death of King Liao
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhi who was about to die, his brain was very messy, really, he didn't know whether to be moved, angry, or surprised...... A thousand words come together, and there is only one sentence.
"Fifteenth brother, are you sick?"
Zhu Zhi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly grinned and laughed at himself, "I'm sick!" I've been sick for a long time, how many people in this Ming Dynasty clan are not sick? Fourth brother, both brothers, should we end up like this? ”
Zhu Zhi didn't know what was going on, he had been suppressed for a long time, and this time he completely broke out, and he was crazy and frightened. Zhu Di stared at him and said viciously: "Are you very dissatisfied?" ”
"It's not just dissatisfied, I hate it so much!"
Zhu Zhi clenched his fists, the green tendons on his temples protruded, his pale face was flushed, and he glared at Zhu Di angrily, "We are all the sons of our father's emperor, and we are both the nine kings, and our father is in Japan, we can do whatever we want." There are mansions, there are feudal countries, there are three guards and horses, official appointments, big and small affairs, all are decided by us! And now? We have nothing left, Fourth Brother, Your Majesty! There is only one beloved left in the younger brother, do you want to take it away? ”
Zhu Zhi roared loudly, he was weak, and after saying this, he began to cough again, with blood in his sputum, one after another, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
Faced with this situation, Zhu Gaochi on the side was shocked, he peeked at his father, no matter how Zhu Di was, he understood Zhu Zhi a little.
Zhu Gaochi followed Lao Zhu for a period of time when he was a child, and he knew very well that his imperial grandfather was a person who loved children very much, otherwise how could he, a concubine, be honored to be by his old man's side!
And it can be seen just from Zhu Yuanzhang's restoration of the division and the granting of military power to the princes.
More than 20 sons, especially the nine kings of the frontier, guarded important places, mastered heavy troops, take Zhu Di as an example, his fief Beiping used to be the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the geographical location is important, the city pattern is grand, the palace is the palace of the old Yuan, under the hands of the three elite soldiers, more than 50,000 people.
The appointment of officials in Peiping must be approved by him.
Several times the troops went out of the fortress, and the princes and generals of the imperial court had to obey Zhu Di's orders.
It is true that Zhu Laosi's ability is there, but if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's preference, where would there be such treatment! The other vassal kings are also not bad, and they deserve to say that they are soil emperors.
Zhu Zhi also enjoyed the good days, and that time was so fascinating.
He rode horses, led soldiers, set up eagles to drive dogs, dabbled in fun, and was so unhappy.
At this moment, he just wanted to say one word, it's good to have a father!
That's right, with the death of Lao Zhu, all these good things are over.
It is difficult to cut the feudal domain, and the war continues.
"Fourth brother, do you remember your promise to us at the beginning? Zhu Yunwen cut the feudal domain and forced his uncle to death. You told us to share weal and sorrow and share prosperity. But what did you do with us when you ascended the throne? ”
Zhu Zhi coughed and said at the same time, he is not afraid of anything now, and if he doesn't say it today, he is afraid that he will never have a chance to say it again.
"Not only did you take away your promises, but you took away our military power, and then stripped us of our financial rights, and fooled us with the shares of the Royal Bank. It is difficult for us to return home, so we can only live in the capital, like prisoners. Our horses, our property, our mansions, you take them all the same. In the end, let your son snatch the shares of the Royal Bank, what are we left with? Nothing! Fourth brother! At the beginning, you kept saying that you wanted to appease, and that you wanted to crusade against the puppet emperor Zhu Yunwen. But you are not as good as Zhu Yunwen, aren't you ashamed? ”
Zhu Zhi coughed up blood and scolded loudly, which was really a bloody accusation.
"Shut up!" Zhu Gao was furious, and stretched out his hand to point at Zhu Zhi, "You dare to be rude, it's crazy!" I'll let you talk nonsense! ”
Zhu Gaochi raised his fist and wanted to hit Zhu Zhi, but who knew that Zhu Di glared at him and shouted: "Let him say, I want to see how much bitter water he still has in his stomach?" ”
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Zhi angrily, "Are you very aggrieved?" You complain that I have taken all your things, and if I don't take them, you people will die sooner or later without a place to be buried! This country was brought down by his father, and he divided the feudal kings in order to consolidate the society, but ask yourself, what have you done? What about your children? Just your son, he seduced your side concubine, they got mixed together, do you think such a beast still deserves to have a feudal country? If I give Liaodong to him, what will be the consequences? ”
Zhu Di snorted coldly: "I take away what should be taken away, you become ordinary people, and you can really live a stable life, if you can't even figure this out, then you don't deserve to complain here!" ”
"Hahaha!" Zhu Zhi sneered, "Say whatever you want, my son is a bastard, but your children and grandchildren have always been good people, are they all Mingjun?" You're on the dragon chair, and you're right about anything. But don't forget, sooner or later, you will see your father's inheritance, and your father's inheritance should be inherited by our sons. Zhu Di, you brutalized your brother, far better than Zhu Yunwen, and your fate will only be inferior to Zhu Yunwen! ”
Zhu Zhi pulled his neck and roared, a mouthful of blood spurted out again, his body convulsed, rolled to the ground, and fell unconscious again.
Zhu Di stared at him for a while, flicked his sleeves, and returned directly to the palace.
Along the way, Zhu Di was excited, angry, and helpless.
Whether it is to raise troops and abolish the feudal state, from Zhu Di's point of view and from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with it. But in the eyes of those whose interests have been harmed, especially the clan vassal kings, they can't bear it anymore.
From having everything, to having nothing.
The entanglement and anger of these vassal kings can be imagined.
Not everyone can focus on curing diseases and saving people like Zhu Hu. Most of them indulge in indulgence, desperately marrying daughters-in-law, desperately trying to have children. Although I can't get the world, I can eat the world.
That's what many vassal kings do.
In contrast, Zhu Zhi's pursuit is still different.
He was madly infatuated with Qian, a young girl who was full of energy and touching...... He felt like he was about to burn.
She sings, dances, tells about her life as a child, and tells the joy of the countryside...... She is like an elf, gushing out of a clear spring, nourishing Zhu Zhi, making this prince obsessed and sinking, even at all costs, let alone caring about anything.
Although Zhu Di didn't understand why Zhu Zhi was like this, there was no shortage of strange things in the Zhu family, and there were more serious ones than this, and the royal family has always been rich in strange things, Zhu Di pondered for a long time, suddenly raised his head, and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Did my father force them too hard?" ”
How dare Zhu Gaochi answer, and his father didn't want to ask his opinion, the big fat man was still very clear about this.
It's just that Zhu Gaochi feels that the affairs of the vassal royal clan must be resolved, and if there is no suitable strategy, sooner or later, his children and grandchildren will also face this situation.
This matter will become a nightmare that haunts the Ming royal family.
Zhu Di really didn't ask Zhu Gaochi what he meant, he just said casually, the real problem still had to be solved by him, and the father and son returned to the palace.
That night, crying came from the Liao Wangfu, and Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, coughed up blood and died.
After King Ning, another vassal king died.
Unlike the death of King Ning last time, the death of King Liao actually made many clans feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes. In less than a day, someone began to tell the conversation between the two brothers.
In particular, Zhu Zhi questioned Zhu Di, saying that it was difficult for him to raise troops, and as a result, he treated the vassal kings even more cruelly and ruthlessly.
These words completely ignited public opinion.
Above the court, no one dared to jump out, and no one spoke for Zhu Zhi without opening his eyes. But among the people, there are many discussions, and the voices accusing Zhu Di are endless.
"Emperor, the slave and maid let the people below keep an eye on it, spreading remarks everywhere, and slandering the emperor, the slave and maid have already found some of them, so this is angry for the emperor!"
It was Mu Eun who spoke.
In the matter of the Zhengdao Academy last time, Liu Chun reminded him that he should care about the public opinion of the people, the situation in the Ming Dynasty was far more complicated than before, and as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, he must be more agile.
Mu En did what Liu Chun said, don't say it, he used it immediately, the old eunuch was also happy and excited, the Taifu was really powerful, and the opportunity for Dongchang to make meritorious service came!
But Zhu Di was not so excited, "Even if you catch it now, it's just catching some shrimp and small fish." ”
Mu En was unconvinced: "Even so, it can also shock people's hearts, so that those beasts dare not talk nonsense." ”
Zhu Di groaned slightly, "Since that's the case, you can do it." ”
When Mu En received the order, Zhu Di's brows did not stretch at all, but became more solemn.
Vassal king, clan ...... How can it be completely solved, it is really worrying?
But at this time, news came again.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Guilang, the prince of Liao, took poison...... He's dead! ”
"What?"
Zhu Di was suddenly furious, and before he could deal with him, this beast actually died by himself, Zhu Di's eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized that he was afraid that he was going to be in trouble.
Sure enough.
Just after Zhu Guilang's death, the cause of his death suddenly became lively.
Some people say that he was angry with his father and committed suicide in shame and panic, but some people say that he was reluctant to part with the Qian family, so he committed suicide in depression.
Father and son, infatuated with the same woman, how capable is this Qian? It's simply Daji's rebirth, Yang Guifei's rebirth?
There are even rumors that it was Zhu Di who fell in love with the Qian family, so he framed him and forced the father and son of the King of Liao to death!
"Ridiculous! Shameless! ”
Zhu Di was furious, I can't run away, you just want to be black, right?
I wanted to deal with it properly, but I didn't expect you to find it yourself.
"Spread the decree, call all the vassal kings of the Zongren Yuan to the palace, I have something to ask them!"
With the will conveyed, all the vassal kings were alarmed, and the fate of the Ming clan is estimated to be revealed soon, King Qi, King Shu, King Su, King Qing, King An, King Yi...... With grief and indignation, they rushed to the noon gate.
Coincidentally, Liu Chun also investigated the case of Mi Yunwei's smuggling, returned to the capital, and happened to meet them, and the two sides were not harmonious......
