Chapter 131 Great Land
The kings dared not speak, and Zhu Wuli couldn’t say much either.
“Hahaha.”
Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily and said indifferently: “Why should a man be afraid of being surpassed?
I will not be afraid at all. .
If there is really a member of the clan who is stronger than me, then what's the harm in giving the throne to him? ”
Some kings’ eyes flickered and they had other thoughts in their minds.
Of course they didn’t think they were better than Zhu Houzhao, but what about Zhu Houzhao’s death?
His It is absolutely impossible for the descendants to still be such monsters
They themselves have no chance, but the descendants may not have the chance.
"As for future generations." Zhu Houzhao mentioned this point directly and said majesticly: "If one day, my descendants are ineffective and are overthrown by your descendants, that will be a good thing.
The Ming Dynasty does not need A waste becomes the emperor.”
Even though he was shocked again and again, including Zhu Wuwu, he still looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.
Since ancient times, which king would say such things?
Is Your Majesty too young?
Your Majesty must be too young and has no heirs yet.
When Your Majesty has children, he will definitely change his mind.
But the hearts of more kings became active.
Today’s words may not be legal principles in the future.
The officials who heard this were the most expressionless.
How can your Majesty say that?
"Your Majesty." Zhu Wuwu suddenly knelt down and said solemnly: "I beg your Majesty to take back your order.
If this is the case, in the future, the children of the royal family may fight each other, father and son, and brother. It will lead to the instability of the Ming Dynasty."
"It is better for the royal family to fight each other than for a useless emperor to cause chaos in the world and make the people miserable." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said firmly:
"Thirteen. Uncle, please get up, I have made up my mind.
I have said before that the people and country of the Ming Dynasty are the most important.
If my descendants are not good enough, then change them to a descendant of the clan who is.
This is my promise to you and all the Zhu family.
And if all the clan members cannot do it, then it is normal for the Ming Dynasty to change their surnames.
This is my, this is the Zhu family’s promise to all the people of Ming Dynasty.
I will announce my decree to the world. "
"No, Your Majesty! "Zhu Wuwu immediately said in horror.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this! "
"Your Majesty, how can the Ming Dynasty be given to outsiders? ”
····
The kings couldn't stand the last sentence any more and spoke one after another.
Although it was just a sentence, with Zhu Houzhao's identity and status, it would be a big flaw in the future.
Legal support for an outsider’s rebellion.
Unless someone can defeat Zhu Houzhao while he is still alive, once the decree is issued, this will be a knife hanging over the head of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.
Many officials who heard this turned completely pale.
More officials were so hot that they were beyond words.
Your Majesty~!
"Why, are you afraid?" Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said with great pride: "I am blindly afraid that others will knock me down, so I do whatever it takes to suppress others.
But I don't want to reflect, think about it Make yourself stronger
How could this be done by my Zhu family? ”
"If you have such a huge advantage, but you are still overthrown from the throne.
What does that mean?
It means that the Zhu family is ruined and rotten. Where will such a Zhu family go? Use?
It is better to perish as soon as possible, so as not to harm the people, embarrass Taizu, Taizong, and me. "
"You are afraid, which means I did the right thing. >
Look at you, what have you become in just over a hundred years?
I just want the people of the world to supervise my Zhu family and you. ”
Every king listened with mixed emotions.
Some lamented that Your Majesty is magnanimous and magnanimous.
Some were worried.
Some people are displeased with His Majesty's prodigal son.
There are also those who are excited.
There are also those who sneer secretly.
But no matter how they think, they know that they can't stop it.
Zhu Houzhao was not interested in paying attention to what they thought, and said arbitrarily: "This matter has been settled. Also, although I am not afraid of your rebellion, before I clean up the kings and clan properties, you will Stay in the capital and you are not allowed to leave.
All kings and princes under the age of twenty-five entered the Dragon Riders of Emperor Wu and received three months of training. "
The faces of all the kings changed again.
They are really trapped in the capital.
"Uncle Thirteen. "Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Wuwu.
"I am here. "Zhu Wuli responded with an extremely solemn and solemn expression.
"Uncle Thirteen, you have made many contributions and are the son of the emperor.
Nowadays, there is no rule that the royal family cannot engage in politics, the military, or business, so I restore what you should have.
I I will make you King Ding," Zhu Houzhao said kindly.
"I accept the decree and thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Mingwang was also a little happy in his heart.
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the kings and said: "By the way, the Zhu family must follow the rules in politics, the army, and business in the future.
Those in politics should take the imperial examinations, those in the military should join the army, and those in business should do business honestly.
Those who want to join the Jinyiwei and the Martial Arts Division should rely on their strength.
Anyway, take it step by step and use your own strength to make progress.
If you don’t have the strength, don’t even try to get it by relying on your status. That’s impossible.
I will never give the position of Ming Dynasty to an incompetent person, no matter who he is. ”
It would be best for the kings to accept this and not be surprised.
“Okay, let’s get here first today and stay in the capital.
If you should go to Emperor Wu Dragon Cavalry, go to Emperor Emperor Dragon Cavalry. If you don’t need to go, think about it and do something in the future. What? How to train your own sons and grandsons?
Of course, if you don’t want to be honest, you can leave the capital secretly and raise a flag to rebel. I will definitely lead the Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry and accept your challenge. ”
"If you fail then, I won't be polite.
Instigate war with selfish desires and endanger the people. All participants will be killed, and the lineage will be abolished as common people.
But even if They are descendants of the rebels, and I will still give them a chance.
If they show great talent and make achievements, they can restore their titles and improve their titles.
In short, the Ming Dynasty royal family. Starting from me, what matters is merit and ability.”
"Everyone, please step back."
Zhu Houzhao said the last part in a thunderous voice.
He walked away, leaving behind all the Ming kings with complicated expressions.
Looking at the leaving figure.
Suddenly, many kings lost their anger and resentment.
Because they truly felt an open, aboveboard atmosphere and selflessness.
Maybe some people, including many of them, feel a little silly.
But they felt a sense of long-lost trust.
Trust in the Emperor.
There is also an indescribable majesty.
Especially young people, there is no lack of reverence and admiration in their eyes.
Even King Jin and others who were about to be beheaded had much less hatred and resentment.
Because they know that their descendants still have a chance.
The kings and their princes slowly left, leaving with complicated emotions.
There are too many things happening today.
The emperor wants to demote his rank from generation to generation, to investigate himself, and to punish him accordingly.
These are difficult for them to accept.
But the emperor relaxed the constraints on the clan and gave them the opportunity to improve their titles and gain power.
Even those really shocking words can even give him the throne.
It also made them grateful, happy, even admired and so on.
In this short period of time, they suffered too much impact, and most of the kings were confused.
They need to think carefully and calm down.
Even Zhu Wuwu was feeling confused at this moment.
He thought a lot.
There are far more than these Ming kings.
But all the officials and various people who heard that voice were far from calm.
Most of them looked towards the palace with a shocking look of hotness and reverence in their eyes.
The small courtyard behind the Sutra Pavilion.
Zheng Gong’s eyes were full of vicissitudes, and his face was moved.
“Taizong, you and Taizu are all inferior to Your Majesty.
The Ming Dynasty will surely reach unprecedented heights in the hands of His Majesty. "
Cabinet.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian were silent for a long time.
Three pairs of eyes with fluctuations showed that they could not calm down at all.
“So Your Majesty! Never before! It's really a great blessing for me to meet you. "Li Dongyang spoke, with a little trembling.
"It is even more fortunate for the people of the Ming Dynasty." Xie Qian said in a condensed voice.
"There should be too many people outside who have been influenced by His Majesty.
The Ming Dynasty is really going to change." Liu Jian glanced outside the cabinet and murmured softly A sound.
"Yes, it's going to change."
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian nodded, their eyes flashing with excitement and complex emotions.
Even they are not immune to this.
What about others?
····
Secretary of Ceremony.
Liu Jin smiled slightly, shook his head, and sighed.
This is Your Majesty!
The light and majesty made them, eunuchs, willing to die, and they could not have those dirty thoughts.
Immediately, there was strong pride and pride in his eyes.
····
Outside the palace gate, in a carriage.
A swordsman dressed in white as snow, with a lonely temperament, and a handsome face with a heartfelt smile.
The veins in the hand holding the sword were already exposed.
“Hahahaha.”
Suddenly, he laughed out loud.
When the laughter stopped, he said softly: "Father, our Zhu family has a unique emperor. I will take back our title in a dignified way."
····
Countless people inside and outside the palace were in agitated moods and could not calm down.
The news is still spreading rapidly.
But this kind of dissemination is naturally inferior to the issuance of the imperial edict.
Not long after, several imperial edicts came from the palace.
"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, Zhao said: The King of Jin and King Dai... are sentenced to death and demoted to the fourth rank. I admire this."
"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, Zhao said: The King of Qin and the King of Shu... ··I accept this.”
“I accept this, the Emperor Zhao said: Thoroughly investigate the kings and clan members, and check their properties...”
“I accept this, the Emperor. Said: The title of the royal family has been reduced from generation to generation... The rule that the children of the royal family are not allowed to engage in politics, the military, or business is abolished, and they can freely engage in career. If they have merit, their titles can be restored and promoted. I admire this. "
"The Emperor of Heaven, Zhao said: This is my Zhu Houzhao..."
