Jie Jin was panicked.
What is before him now is a dead end!
His Majesty the Emperor asked him to speak, and he had to speak otherwise, otherwise he would be disobeying the Holy Will.
But by opening his mouth, he was offending the kings of the frontiers such as King Zhu Gui and King Ning Zhu Quan to death, and he might suffer some kind of retaliation in the future!
When he thought of this, Xie Jin suddenly became even more panicked.
"Xie Xie, you have learned a lot from the past and the present. Please tell me how to make the Tian family and the clan have peace and harmony?"
Zhu Di spoke again, completely shattering the last trace of luck in Xie Jin's heart.
At this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak, and he had to speak in accordance with the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor!
"Your Majesty, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, carried out a large-scale enfeoffment, which resulted in chaos among the kings!"
"Tang Emperor Li Jinglong appointed vassal kings, which resulted in the "Anshi Rebellion"!"
"Your Majesty, since the Han and Tang dynasties, the history of the rebellions among the kings has been well documented and can serve as a lesson for others!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood Jin's choice. This was to completely beat the vassal king to death and follow the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor!
The faces of Dai Wang Zhu Gui, Ning Wang Zhu Quan, Gu Wang Zhu Sui and others were extremely gloomy, but because Emperor Yongle was right in front of them, they did not dare to have an attack. They could only stare at Jie Jin with their eyes, wishing to peel him and cramp him!
Xie Jin naturally felt these malicious glances, but now he had no way out and could only go all the way to the dark side!
If I cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor and reduce the military power of these kings, then they will be a group of tigers without claws, and I will not have to fear their revenge!
It's all Li Hongbi's damned little thief's fault!
While Jie Jin cursed Li Hongbi in his heart, he continued to speak: "Your Majesty, the original intention of emperors in the past dynasties to appoint princes was to guard the borders. However, I secretly believe that the troubles do not come from outside the borders, but from the kings themselves. ah!"
"They support their troops, vassal towns, and cede territory to become kings. They hold heavy troops in their hands. How can the world not be in chaos if things continue like this!"
"I request the emperor to take back the kings' right to control local armies and horses, and abolish the three guards of the kings!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
On the surface, Jie Jin is as stable as an old dog, but in fact he is panicking.
Regardless of whether he can succeed in reducing the vassal status tonight, he has already offended the kings to death!
So now he can only pray that the kings are afraid of the power of God and will hand over their military power honestly, otherwise he may not know how he will die in the future!
Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at the feudal kings.
"Old Thirteen (Acting King Zhu Gui), what do you think of Xie Jin's words?"
How about it?
I can't wait to kill him!
Zhu Gui's face turned red with anger, but he still did not lose his mind and do anything impulsive.
If this were placed in his fiefdom, he would have skinned and cramped a piece of shit like Jie Jin and lit a sky lantern!
"Fourth brother, I am an upright person, so just tell me!"
"We also know that you want our military power, and we also want to hand it over, but after all, our fiefdoms are in frontier areas. If you lose your military power and even the three guards are fired, then our Who will ensure safety?"
"When the time comes, won't any Tatar Huru be able to come over and cut off our heads?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
Even Li Hongbi was a little stunned.
This acting king Zhu Gui is really a piece of meat on a hob!
Although it is said that the Dog Emperor wants to cut down the vassal vassal, everyone is well aware of this and everyone knows it in their hearts.
But you can't say it to his face. Isn't this intentional to embarrass the Dog Emperor?
The Dog Emperor was just talking about the need for friendship and harmony between the Tian family and the clan, but in the blink of an eye you revealed the Dog Emperor’s real purpose, tore the Dog Emperor’s fig leaf to pieces, and slapped the Dog Emperor in the face. !
This is not about being straight-tempered, nor is this being heartless, this is just such a big fool!
Li Hongbi raised his head slightly and saw that the dog emperor's old face turned red instantly. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he wanted to stab the bastard Zhu Gui to death.
Wonderful!
It’s really wonderful!
Li Hongbi almost laughed out loud!
The dog emperor was deflated, which really made him feel comfortable and comfortable, even better than Hu Ji...
Dog Emperor, you have today too!
Zhu Di gave Zhu Gui a vicious look. If he hadn't maintained his identity, he would have wanted to kick this damn idiot to death!
"Old Thirteen, what are you talking about?"
What words?
That’s the truth!
Li Hongbi was going crazy laughing!
"Of course, I also know that your fiefdoms are all located in the bitter cold areas of the frontier fortress. Therefore, I have discussed with the officials and decided to re-select fiefdoms for the twelve frontier fortress kings. It is up to you to choose. How about it?"
Hearing this, the faces of Zhu Gui, Zhu Quan and others changed slightly and looked a little better.
If you surrender your military power, you can change the fiefdom, which is indeed barely acceptable.
They have now finally understood that this bullshit Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet is basically the Hongmen Banquet of the Dog Emperor!
If they don't hand over their military power today, they may be in trouble!
In this case, we can only accept our fate. At least Emperor Yongle is not like that little beast Zhu Yunwen, who acts ruthlessly and unscrupulously. It is obviously to reduce the vassal and to gain military power in the hands of the kings. Before attacking people, he has to concoct a series of unfounded plans. For the crime, he would be satisfied if all the kings canonized by Taizu were deposed as common people!
At least, if they give in now and hand over their military power, they can still be princes and live a lifetime of prosperity, wealth and food and clothing, which doesn't seem to be unacceptable!
"Furthermore, the measures formulated by Emperor Taizu Gao were based on the specific circumstances of the Hongwu Dynasty. Now that we have reached the Yongle Dynasty, some of the rules are not so suitable."
"I believe that the Heavenly Family, be it a sect or a vassal, is a close relative of the same blood and flesh, so we should have more interactions to strengthen our relationship and maintain the friendship of all relatives."
"From now on, if the kings want to travel to visit friends, etc., they can report to the court for permission before traveling. In addition, I will regularly summon a group of kings to the capital to host banquets to entertain the whole blood clan!"
Zhu Di then threw out the second chip, which made all the kings very excited.
Doesn’t this mean that they can travel around and have fun in the future?
What's the point of being in a fiefdom all the time and not being allowed to come and go at will without an edict? Even if you stay in a nice place for a long time, you will get tired of it!
If you can travel around and have fun, this is the treatment that the Ming Dynasty Prince should have!
All the vassal kings' eyes lit up, and they were all a little moved.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Di continued to increase his firepower.
"One more thing, members of the Ming Dynasty clan are not allowed to participate in the business of the four people (scholars, farmers, industry and commerce). This is based on the protection of the people, and it is understandable."
"But in the long run, the clan members will all become mediocre. This is not what I want. Therefore, from now on, clan members can develop and cultivate hobbies, such as compiling classics, painting, poetry and songs, attending Zen and worshiping Buddha, and meditating. The imperial court will fully support you in cultivating Taoism and so on."
Upon hearing this third item, the faces of the kings instantly became very happy.
It's not that they like these hobbies, but they really feel the kindness released by His Majesty the Emperor!
In short, as long as you are willing to hand over military power, you can have fun and enjoy yourself however you want, and the court will relax restrictions. Compared with the strict rules set by their father, this is really too relaxed!
In that case, what are you waiting for?
Is it possible to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to fall out with you directly, and then imitate Zhu Yunwen?
Dai Wang Zhu Gui, Ning Wang Zhu Quan and others looked at each other and made a decision immediately.
"Your majesty is wise, I am willing to offer you three bodyguards!"
"There is also my brother, who is willing to pay back..."
A famous vassal king immediately expressed his stance and handed over military power directly and decisively.
Seeing this, Zhu Di was immediately overjoyed and secretly relieved.
If it wasn't really necessary, he really didn't want to take action against these blood brothers and bear the infamy of slaughtering his clan members!
Fortunately, they are quite sensible and don't need me to be this evil person!
All of this is due to Li Hongbi.
When he thought of this, Zhu Di looked at Li Hongbi.
As a result, his smile froze in the next moment.
I saw Li Hongbi sneaking out of the hall at some point and sitting on his seat, enjoying a meal, and toasting each other with people around him from time to time...
Well, did I let you out?
You bastard, you dare to eat and drink directly?
