A piece of pork belly, dancing in the middle of the banquet.
Paired with the inaccurate piano sound.
It's like a pig-killing scene.
The kings covered their eyes, they really couldn't stand it any longer. Your Majesty, please, please, please stop King Zheng from jumping, it's so irritating to your eyes.
King Zheng was also feeling miserable.
No matter how old I am, I can still entertain people.
However, thinking about the consort Zhao Hui, I feel a little more balanced, which is at least better than losing my life.
The only thing that pleased him was that the emperor watched it with gusto.
Zhu Qiyu also found it annoying and watched with his eyes closed.
"Kings, all stand up and dance with King Zheng!"
All the kings died instantly.
How can we, the mighty Ming Dynasty vassal king, entertain people with harem?
The kings stood up slowly, stood next to King Zheng, and began to dance.
A bunch of pork belly...
The scene... prepare more toilet bowls, they can be full of vomit.
King Huai was very lucky. He was playing the piano and did not need to dance. How lucky he was.
But the hearts of the kings are not balanced.
"Please invite King Huai to dance with you!" King Ning kneeled down to invite the emperor.
It is well known that Prince Ning and Prince Huai were at odds with each other as they were both vassal kings of Jiangxi.
So King Ning took the opportunity to trip up King Huai.
Even though King Huai was a close relative prince, King Ning refused to accept it. King Ning still had the final say in Jiangxi, and he suppressed King Huai in everything.
King Huai is not happy. My family is the biological son of Emperor Renzong and a close relative prince. My family should have the final say in Jiangxi.
So he confronted King Ning everywhere, and the two families completely became enemies.
When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he kept stumbling upon the other party.
"Your Majesty..." King Huai wanted to refuse.
But the emperor waved his hand: "Yes."
The princes of the world were dancing enthusiastically in the palace, while the princes outside the palace were looking for buckets everywhere.
Zhu Qiyu was watching with his eyes closed.
Too greasy.
Can not bear to look.
After dancing for a while, Zhu Qiyu really wanted to open his eyes and waved his hand: "That's it. King Zheng has made progress in dancing. Keep up the good work."
What do you mean?
From now on, when you drink, you have to dance for fun?
Thanks to your strong psychological quality, the imperial doctor Wu Xuan came in to rescue me and was convinced by your taste.
King Zheng was panting, kowtowed and thanked him, and then sat down.
All the kings are like frost beating eggplants.
My old face is completely lost.
Next time the emperor just don't let them go to the guild hall to dance. It's embarrassing to leave them at home, which is barely acceptable.
"Kings, let's get back to business."
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to pretend: "I allow generals at all levels to participate in the general examination, but why no one comes to Beijing?"
How could we know this?
Maybe you are too cruel!
"I want to know the reason!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at the kings: "Prince Jin, you have many sons, tell me!"
King Jin trembled all over: "Your Majesty, the sons of ministers are all county kings, there are no generals."
So, I don’t know what the general is thinking.
"Then can't you take the place of those generals and tell them what they think?" Zhu Qiyu asked coldly.
"The ministers don't know!" King Jin was born with a golden key in his mouth. How could he know the hardships of generals at all levels?
"You know how useless you are to have a son!"
Zhu Qiyu became angry when he mentioned Jin Fan.
You guys don’t do anything, you give birth to a son every day, but I still have to pinch my nose and make myself a king or a general. Doesn’t Zong Lu not want money? Doesn’t the fief cost money?
The King of Jin slandered: It is better than someone who cannot give birth to a son.
"Call King Qingcheng in." Zhu Qiyu said with a sullen face.
King Qingcheng, who had just finished vomiting outside the hall, entered the hall and knelt down.
"I ask you, why are those generals unwilling to come to Beijing to take part in the examination?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"ah?"
King Qingcheng was confused. I am a county king, not a general. Who knows what is going on?
"do not you know?"
Zhu Qiyu asked in a cold voice: "Among all the vassals, you alone, King Qingcheng, have the most sons!"
"There are more than a hundred generals who have been granted the title of general!"
"There are countless other generals!"
"You actually don't know what those generals are thinking?"
King Qingcheng was frightened by the emperor.
He honestly gave birth to a son in obscurity. Who did he offend?
We can't threaten your throne, so why are you targeting me like this?
Seeing the King of Qingcheng groaning, he couldn't say anything.
Zhu Qiyu burst out with evil fire: "Come on!"
The young eunuch Qin En knelt on the ground, holding a whip in both hands.
The last person who handed the whip to the emperor has become the director of the West Factory.
The King of Qingcheng was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I know what the general is thinking. Please listen to what I say in detail... Ouch!"
Suddenly he let out a scream.
The emperor didn't even hear what he said, and the big whip hit him directly.
The prince in the palace felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, like thorns on his back, and like walking on thin ice.
The reason why the emperor chose King Qingcheng was because the two generations of King Qingcheng were crazy about having sons, and the clan really didn't want to bear the burden of these bullshit generals.
Snapped!
Zhu Qiyu took the opportunity to slap him: "Why do you even think about such a trivial matter?"
"You should just open your mouth and come!"
"My brain was soaked in rouge and powder."
"Look at your face, it's so pale."
"I see you only have a few days left to live!"
King Qingcheng wanted to explain that my face turned pale from fright, not that I was sick.
I attach great importance to maintaining good health, otherwise I wouldn’t have so many sons. Folks often say that more sons means more blessings... Ouch!
"Speak!" Zhu Qiyu slapped him hard and asked him to speak.
King Qingcheng's royal crown was torn, revealing stains of blood and torn flesh.
"His Majesty."
The King of Qingcheng had to kneel straight, endured the severe pain of the whipping, and responded with a cry: "Wei Chen thinks that the generals at all levels have no talent and learning, so they dare not go to the capital to show their embarrassment and embarrass His Majesty's people... Ouch!"
He screamed.
Everything he said was true, but the emperor still slapped him.
It means that what he said is different from the answer the emperor wants!
Understood.
The emperor wanted him to say that the generals at all levels were disrespectful to the Central Committee and His Majesty, so they should be forced to the court and rectified!
"Furthermore, it is the selfish motives of the generals at all levels!"
Not beaten?
King Qingcheng knew it, and he was right this time.
"They did those dirty things in the fiefdom. They were worried about being known by the central government and afraid of being punished, so they were reluctant to enter the capital."
The whip did not fall, you are right!
The emperor's heart is really bad. He used my mouth to talk about the general's fault.
The key is that these were all imagined by the emperor forcing him to do so.
"No more?" Zhu Qiyu asked sadly.
Is it not enough to disobey the imperial edict?
King Qingcheng was afraid of the whip and immediately said: "These generals are lawless in the fiefdom, disrespect the central government, disrespect your majesty, and turn a blind eye to the imperial edict. Please punish them!"
Snapped!
What he responded to was a sharp whip.
"That's nonsense!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Generals at all levels are my relatives, how can they be disrespectful to me?"
"They are just generals, not princes!"
"Is it possible to raise an army to rebel?"
Plop!
King Qingcheng lay softly on the ground. I said it was so cruel, but the emperor didn't think it was enough?
Want to pin the label of rebellion on the general?
The emperor wants to execute all the generals!
There are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of generals at all levels in the clan.
Have they all been killed?
"Is what I said wrong? King Qingcheng?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark and his smile was strange.
"What your Majesty said is true. This humble minister had ulterior motives and made random guesses about relatives. Please forgive me!" King Qingcheng hurriedly apologized.
His response was a loud whip.
Did I let you say this?
I ask you to follow my lead and say that those generals have disobedient intentions, and then I can deal with them!
Are hundreds of thousands of wastes all being supported by the court?
I can’t bear to eat or wear them!
Raising a bunch of useless relatives? Sick?
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to slap him again. Slapping you would give you a chance to change, but if you don't cherish it, then it's unnecessary.
"Pass an edict that generals at all levels in the world must rush to the capital on the tenth day of the sixth lunar month."
"Those who don't arrive or arrive late will be expelled from the jade plate, expelled from the surname Zhu, demoted to common people, and the whole family will be fortressed at the border."
Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold: "The King of Qingcheng and his family knowingly committed the crime and ordered them to arrive in the capital within five days. Those who are late will be exiled to the Hetao and do not need to enter the capital."
King Qingcheng opened his mouth wide. He never expected that the emperor would be so ruthless!
He has already followed the emperor's words!
Say what is on your mind!
The evil villain has already done it!
But why do you still treat me like this?
King Qingcheng's eyes flashed with anger, who doesn't have the surname Zhu? Why? Why?
"Since those generals don't regard me as a relative."
"Don't even regard me as your father."
"Then it has no value in existence."
"From now on, don't say that I am mean and unkind."
"It's obvious that I'm a favor, but they don't appreciate it!"
"Instead, you scolded me."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Humph, I treat them as relatives. I am so loyal that I fed them to the dogs!"
"you!"
"Get out!"
"What qualifications does a mere county king have to enter the palace?"
"Get out!"
Zhu Qiyu became angry when he saw King Qingcheng.
If you follow my words, maybe I will depose King Jin and let you succeed as King Jin.
But you are disobedient.
You deserve it!
"I am guilty!" The kings prostrated on the ground to plead guilty.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark.
He didn't speak for a long time.
The kings could only kneel down, and the atmosphere that had just become lively became deadlocked again.
"You are not guilty of waiting!"
"But there is a grave sin!"
"You are the kings, and you have the responsibility to educate the generals!"
"How are you educated?"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "That's right, you don't study yourself, how can you force those generals to study?"
"So those generals, other than just eating and waiting to die, are just dreaming of unrealistic dreams!"
"If I give you the authority of princes and kings."
"Believe it or not, there will be wars everywhere in the Ming Dynasty tomorrow!"
"It's just you bunch of uneducated bastards! You're causing my imperial edict to be passed down in one ear and ignored by others!"
"Go home and copy the Classic of Filial Piety a hundred times!"
"When generals at all levels enter the capital, each of them will copy the Filial Piety Sutra for one year, and they will do it on their knees! They will copy for more than five hours every day!"
"Copy the Classic of Filial Piety ten thousand times!"
"Back it down for me!"
"Let them know that their wealth was not given by their ancestors, but was given to them by me!"
"Did you hear that?"
All the kings were dumbfounded.
Kneel down and copy the Filial Piety Sutra for a year, 10,000 times, five hours a day.
This is to exhaust generals at all levels to death.
The emperor has made it clear that he just dislikes the generals at all levels too much and simply cuts out the cancer.
I was exhausted, but the happiest person was the emperor.
Anyway, it is the general who is unlucky, and it has nothing to do with them princes.
The princes outside are in pain. Those generals who govern the country are all our sons. Your Majesty, you can't be too cruel.
We are all relatives...
"I will obey the Holy Order!" The kings kowtowed.
After waiting for a long time, Zhu Qiyu still didn't let them get up.
Understood.
The emperor also had a deeper meaning.
"Wei Chen is willing to bring all his family members to the capital!" King Zheng is so smart.
Understand the emperor's meaning in seconds.
The fiefdoms have all been taken back, but your family still occupies the local palace. Are you embarrassed?
The kings secretly wept.
The emperor didn't leave them any chance.
In fact, from the moment they entered Beijing, everything they had in the place was taken back to the court, and everything was gone.
"If I directly take back the palace, will I still be accused of being mean and ungrateful?" Zhu Qiyu was both responsible and upright.
"Who dares to scold His Majesty?"
King Zheng became angry: "Your Majesty gave the trading company and the bank account to the humble minister, and exchanged a large amount of wealth for the local prince's palace."
"He also built us an extremely luxurious new palace in the capital city. His love for the clan can be seen by everyone in the world!"
"Those who curse Your Majesty are all people with evil intentions. Please punish them severely!"
Zhu Qiyu was stunned, who said the new palace would give it to you?
Tsk tsk, King Zheng is so smart.
You see that the new palace is a trap, so you take the opportunity to fill the hole, let me speak out myself, and give the new palace to you?
Zhu Qiyu was roasted on the fire.
"I feel Uncle Zheng's love for me." Zhu Qiyu did not answer directly.
The Hundred Prince's Mansion throws in a huge amount of money every day and lets the emperor pay for it?
Go crazy!
That money is enough to rebuild Hubei, but he is not willing to let the kings enjoy it.
"That's all."
"People in the world can scold me as much as they want."
"I can't stop the mouths of everyone in the world."
"Since the kings are willing to return the palace to the central government, let's move the whole family to the capital."
"When the new palace is completed, everyone will move in."
"As for generals at all levels..."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Let's sleep on the street for a while first. After the palace is completed, we can build the general's palace."
The emperor is really petty.
People who came late were also dealt with.
It is really difficult to make a living under this emperor.
"What do the kings think?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"I have no objection, so I will write a letter to my family and ask my family to come and live in the capital." Who among the kings dares to say no?
Believe it or not, who can say no, losing Wang Jue is a trivial matter, but a small life will definitely be lost.
Zhu Qiyu immediately laughed: "As expected of my family, they know how to understand me."
Oh, it’s family now?
Is it just a plaything in your hands when it's no longer useful?
You are truly transformed.
"Feng Xiao, bring over the pen and paper so that the kings can write letters."
"It just so happens that generals at all levels are coming to Beijing to attend the Spring Festival."
"Just come together."
"Bring all the wives, concubines, and children of the general's family to the capital!"
"There is no need to carry some unimportant things with you."
"When you get to the capital, you can go back and get it, or you can ask me for a reward."
"It just so happens that the imperial concubine is quite lonely in the palace. All the relatives are here, so they can enter the palace and talk to the imperial concubine."
This is Zhu Qiyu’s real purpose!
Force all the clan members to move to the capital!
The speed should be fast, and the slowness will lead to change.
The kings' eyes widened, you changed your mind and robbed it, right?
Are you not allowed to take anything from my house?
And you said you gave it to us?
You don’t know what your temper is?
You can take back the things you gave me if you want, just like a child, who can fall out of favor faster than turning the pages of a book.
The key point is that I have my own treasure, why should I want it from you?
We also want to keep face and not be eaten by others.
"I obey the decree!" The kings kowtowed.
I have a lot of inner drama, but I dare not say a word about it.
All the palace's century-old wealth belongs to the emperor. They can only bring their personal clothes into the capital, and nothing else is allowed to be touched.
This is the true purpose of the emperor.
Those before were all foreshadowing.
The emperor wanted not only the palace's wealth, but also everything in the general's palace, including mosquito legs.
"Hahaha, I knew the kings would understand me."
A smile broke out on Zhu Qiyu's face and he raised his wine glass: "I would like to toast all the kings!"
It's good to entertain kings anywhere, but the cup is a bit useless.
Feng Xiaogang brought a new cup, but the cups that the emperor usually used were smashed.
Drink it all in one gulp.
Zhu Qiyu looked drunk on his face.
Why are you so good at acting?
The kings curled their lips, there is water in your cup, we all smelled it, why are you pretending?
"The kings are indeed my relatives."
"Understand my painstaking efforts."
"Now the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and business is becoming more and more prosperous."
"I have thought about it. The future of the Royal Trading Company is promising, but the rudder of the Royal Trading Company is controlled by the palace."
"I plan to relax the clan's business restrictions."
"Allow the clan to do business."
"Kings can also do business. There is no need to put their name in the concubine's house. Each concubine's family will be a local rich man. In fact, all the money will eventually go into the prince's palace."
"I know everything."
Having said that.
The kings were so frightened that they begged for mercy.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It's human nature, I know how you squandered the land."
"When you get to the capital, can you not spend money? Can you not squander it?"
"It's nothing more than waiting for me to let go of you, and your tentacles will enter all walks of life."
"Instead of supporting a group of white gloves and letting others take advantage of it, it's better to do it yourself."
"I will release your business restrictions."
"However, the full amount of taxes must be paid to the court every year."
"The ugly words are ahead. Whoever dares to evade taxes or refuse to pay taxes, I will take off his head!"
When the kings heard this, they thought this was a good thing!
Turn what was secretly into the light.
But isn't this the pit the emperor buried?
They were all frightened by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have never discussed this before."
King Zhou quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please take back your order. I will wait in the capital and enjoy the shares of the bank and the trading company. I am already grateful and do not dare to ask for more."
He expressed his loyalty to the emperor, but the kings wanted to kill him.
but.
Zhu Qiyu stared at him with narrowed eyes.
Is King Zhou showing his loyalty?
Absolutely not, but there are some business matters that cannot be discussed openly, so that's why the emperor was stopped.
Actually, to put it bluntly.
If the emperor restricts people from doing business, will they stop doing business?
Who are behind those business gangs?
Who is behind those businesses in the city?
Aren’t they the ones in power?
Aren’t all kings, courtiers, and even magistrates and bullies all those in power? Do you need to put it so clearly?
What's the point of hiding one's ears and stealing the bell?
If the courtiers were here, they would definitely advise them, thinking that the kings would rebel if they had money.
But don’t you think about it, you have banned kings from practicing in the past, so are there no ambitious people anymore? Is their palace really so poor?
Stop it.
They are all just a fig leaf, a fig leaf used to deceive oneself.
Zhu Qiyu brought the two most precious things to Ming Dynasty, one is freedom and the other is truth.
Those fake things are still fake no matter how whitewashed they are.
Don't treat the common people as fools. Everyone has a scale in their mind. Whether they are good or bad, the people know clearly in their hearts.
"King Zhou is so innocent, he doesn't do any business at all."
Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "But as far as I know, there are more than 400,000 taels of cash buried in the pigsty of Prince Zhou's Mansion."
"King Zhou, can you tell me?"
"Where did the money come from? Did I reward you?"
King Zhou turned pale.
When was his house ransacked?
How did you find the money?
Why didn't he receive any news?
According to his original plan, he would secretly convert the money into banknotes and invest them in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to earn money from the sea.
However, how was he discovered by the emperor?
This is a mind-blowing thing!
King Zhou's expression changed sharply.
However, the kings shuddered!
Was their palace also touched by the emperor?
The factory guards are terrible.
"King Zhou, is that money yours?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Weichen is wronged, Weichen is wronged, that money is not Weichen's, no!" King Zhou gritted his teeth and said no.
He didn't dare admit it.
Once admitted, it becomes impossible to explain.
That's not money earned from business, but from the sea. That money is not clean.
The emperor knew that he would not only withdraw the feudal vassal, but also kill the clan!
"It's not your money, but it's buried in your house. It's strange." Zhu Qiyu played with the wine glass, meaningfully.
Although the palaces of the kings were not raided, they had already been thoroughly touched.
As long as his decree is passed down, not a single fly will fly out.
Unless someone from the palace commits suicide by swallowing silver.
Then he can cut people open and dig out the money.
Silver will never run away.
"Your Majesty, please make it clear that Qian Weichen didn't know anything about it!" King Zhou refused to admit it after being beaten to death.
On the contrary, it aroused Zhu Qiyu's interest.
The money should be unclear.
What could frighten the prince like this?
maritime!
Zhu Qiyu immediately understood that King Zhou made money at sea.
It's right to think about it. Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Seas, and the silver from the sea poured into his own money like a tide. How could future generations not know about it?
But why is the sea still closed?
In fact, all the emperors who tried to open the sea had troubles.
Why?
Because the money goes into the pockets of those in power.
Courtiers, civil and military officials all received a share.
The merchants of the Ming Dynasty had no social status at all. The people who really stood behind them were the people in power and the courtiers.
I just didn't expect that the King of Zhou also took a sip of the soup. So what about the other kings? Did they also take a sip of the soup?
Only I don’t!
At the beginning, the civil servants wanted to put me in a cage, which was really far-reaching.
I used my money bag to tightly control my internal funds, making me a puppet on the strings of the civil service group.
hehe.
The money in the Ming Dynasty went into the court and into the pockets of the gentry.
Money from abroad went into the pockets of merchants and courtiers.
It has nothing to do with me.
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Qiyu's mouth. If you don't want to play with me, then I will have fun with you.
"Since King Zhou doesn't know, just return to your seat."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Kings, King Zhou understands my difficulties."
"It is for the sake of the central government and future generations of kings to prevent me from giving the power of business to the kings."
"But as far as I know, Prince Zhou's Mansion spends seven million taels of silver every year on accounting, which is more than what the palace spends."
"I used to think that King Zhou was good at managing money, and I wanted to learn from him."
"Now I know that King Zhou lives his life based on Zong Lu."
"It seems the record is inaccurate."
Zhu Qiyu smiled.
King Zhou sweated like rain.
He walked to the middle of the hall and kept kowtowing: "Wei Chen is frugal in his mansion, and he will never spend so much money. The records are untrue. The records are untrue."
"There is no need to explain, King Zhou. I believe you. You don't even care about more than 400,000 taels of silver. How can you care about the expenses of millions of taels of silver."
After all, the emperor thought that the money belonged to the Zhou Palace.
King Zhou is afraid. If he really investigates, he will be finished!
The whole Zhou Fan is finished!
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, and tell the truth!"
"That money is the dirty money earned by Wei Chen's legitimate wife, Wang, through usury loans outside!"
The King of Zhou took the risk: "Wei Chen has read the books of saints and sages since he was a child. He believes that filial piety and brotherhood are the first, and benevolence and kindness are the most important. He advocates Buddhism without desires and denies the desire for external things."
"So Wei Chen thought the money was dirty, so he buried it in the pig pen and didn't allow anyone to use it!"
"I don't dare to speak out because I don't want to expose my family scandal. I beg your majesty to forgive me!"
"Please return this money to the central government and use it to save all people and atone for the sins of the Wang family!"
King Zhou is smart enough.
He is worthy of being a prince who has accumulated a good reputation outside.
Put the blame on the legitimate wife. Anyway, the legitimate wife Wang had nothing to do, and his sons were all concubines.
He saw that the woman was disgusted, so he might as well take the opportunity to push her out to take the blame, and then straighten his wife Zhang, so that his sons would become legitimate sons.
"It seems that King Zhou is not having a good time in the palace."
"I will send factory guards to find out."
"If Wang is guilty, I will give her death and kill her family."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark: "But if King Zhou lies, then I will have to deal with Zhou Fan!"
The king of Zhou was not the only one to deal with it.
But the entire Zhou Fan.
There are nearly thirty county princes in the Zhou vassal, the most among all the vassals!
The whole of Henan is almost closed to them.
Still not satisfied?
"I obey the decree!" King Zhou trembled.
He is a famous wise king.
The emperor gave him a knife, and the emperor was sprayed by the literati like a dog.
The usury incident will only destroy his reputation, and he also trades his reputation for his own life.
Because the money cannot be explained, I dare not let the emperor know.
However, as long as he leaves this banquet, someone will naturally cover him up, and the most he will lose is his reputation.
Maybe he can also take the opportunity to become famous. He killed his wife to prove it, which is a good reputation.
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I give you the authority to do business."
"Let the palace be self-sufficient."
"The Center will support you."
Wealth is always in the hands of a few people, and it has never changed.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
The kings knew that this was the emperor giving them sweet dates and asking them to hand over local property. Don't anger the emperor, otherwise they would be beaten when the time comes.
"but!"
"The palace is moving, and your relatives will also move into the capital!"
"I am thinking about you. If you are lonely in Beijing, you must have relatives to communicate with."
"And those princesses who got married should not live in exile."
"Those who have to go to Beijing, let's go to Beijing together."
Zhu Qiyu finally exposed all his intentions!
That's right!
He not only wanted to move the kings to the capital.
The Wangfu is a behemoth in the local area, and it relies not only on the Wangfu, but also on the intertwined relationships between the Wangfu.
He wants to move all these relationships to Beijing.
As for their money in the local area, it will naturally be returned to the factory guards, and all of it will go into internal funds.
This is his true purpose.
All the kings were dumbfounded.
The emperor wants to completely cut off their local foundation.
They were all moved to the capital and placed under the emperor's nose. If the emperor became suspicious, he could bring them out and kill them.
But can they resist?
Dare to resist?
The married daughter's family also moved to the capital.
This method is too damaging!
"What do the kings think?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.
"I have no objections!" All the kings bowed.
"Hahaha, you are indeed my relative, and you know how to understand me."
Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly: "Everyone, get up. There are not so many rules at today's family dinner."
You can pull it down.
When you are in a good mood, you say there are no rules, but when you are in a bad mood, a small mistake can kill someone.
"Use your chopsticks."
"From now on, I can see whoever I want to see in Beijing."
"As relatives, you can have family ties by moving around more."
"Otherwise, wouldn't family ties become more and more distant?"
Zhu Qiyu made amends for himself: "So are your relatives. They are all in Beijing, so it is convenient to move back and forth."
"Besides, Gyeongsang is prosperous and you can get everything you want. Isn't it more comfortable than those in remote areas?"
When today's imperial edict is spread, there will be scoldings from outside.
However, he doesn't care how others scold him.
He must achieve his purpose.
Of course, when the Jiangnan literati comes to Beijing, who will dare to scold him?
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" The kings kowtowed.
"When you get back, think about what you want to do."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "I plan to develop Liaodong, march into Mobei, and convert Hu into Han."
"These are all business opportunities."
"I told you in advance, you have status and capital, you can definitely take a seat first."
No one wants to invest in Nuergandusi.
He wanted the kings to focus on developing Nuergandusi.
First, the kings can drive merchants to invest in Nuergandusi, which will force the people to immigrate to Nuergandusi.
Secondly, it is to divert the attention of the kings. Don’t always worry about my position. My position must be passed on to my son. Whoever dares to have the slightest thought, I will kill the nine tribes of whom!
"It's freezing cold here, how can there be any business opportunities?" Prince Huai muttered in a low voice.
"Who said there are no business opportunities?"
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, King Huai was so frightened that he knelt down to plead guilty.
"stand up."
"I have found crops that are resistant to cold weather."
"Next year, it will be promoted to Liaodong."
"Wait until I take back Wu Liangha first, and then take back Nu'er Gandusi."
"Prince Huai, tell me, is this a business opportunity?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Yes, yes, your Majesty said so." Prince Huai's mind was empty.
"Tell me, where are the business opportunities?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
King Huai was immediately stunned.
How could I know?
After muttering for a long time, he said: "Going to Liaodong to farm?"
"Idiot, can you farm?"
Zhu Qiyu was angry that he would not argue: "Wuliangha, Wuliangha, use your brain!"
"If we want to Chineseize Wuliangha, what does Wuliangha lack?"
"They have no money. Do they have horses, cattle or sheep?"
“Can we exchange daily necessities for their horses, cattle and sheep?”
"Fool!"
"And Nuergandusi, how many natives are there?"
"Don't you like ginseng and dongzhu? The natives of Nuergandusi have many of them!"
"You don't want to exchange anything?"
"What do those natives from Nurgandusi know?"
"I'm not fooled into looking like a fool by you."
"Let me tell you, you may think Nuer Gandusi is inconspicuous, but in my eyes, Nuer Gandusi is full of gold!"
"Do you need wood to build a house?"
"Nuergandusi has thousands of miles of forests, and there are countless trees that are hundreds of years old. Is this a business?"
"Are there mushrooms, honey, fungus and other ingredients in the forest? Are there any shortages in the mainland?"
"Are there no animals in the forest? Are there any mineral deposits underground?"
"Use your brain, Nuergandusi is full of gold!"
Zhu Qiyu was exhausted.
But there are still fools who stupidly ask: "Then why did Xuande give up?"
The one muttering was King Qing.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Prince Qing with sharp eyes: "I said you have a pig brain, you are a pig brain!"
"Are there any cold-resistant crops in the Xuande Dynasty?"
“How can we be self-sufficient if we can’t farm?”
"So what if we defeat them? How can we defend them?"
"Are you going to guard it?"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Use your pig brains. If you don't move, you will die and become a vegetative state sooner or later."
The kings don’t understand what a vegetative state is?
Anyway, just apologize.
The voices of apology kept coming and going, and Qianqing Palace was actually a lot more lively.
Seeing that King Qing and King Huai were disobedient, the emperor did not punish them.
King Qin whispered: "May I ask Your Majesty, will the Royal Commercial House do business?"
"You asked the right question."
"The Royal Commercial Bank is not here to do business."
"It's about making big deals."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The Royal Commercial Bank is refining wool textile machines to weave wool into clothes. Now it has made a breakthrough."
"It won't be long before the sheep on the grassland no longer only eat meat."
"Wool is precious."
"Think about it, how many people in the Ming Dynasty had no clothes to wear? If cheap wool was woven into clothes, how big would the market be? How much money could be made?"
"So, in my eyes, this Mobei is full of gold."
The kings were somewhat moved.
However, they are definitely not willing to invest real money.
They like to use their power to take advantage of the market, which is much more enjoyable without taking risks.
Zhu Qiyu finally saw it clearly.
There is really no plastic talent in the clan.
It's okay, it's better to train your own son than to train the clan.
Counting the days, it’s June. I should be in good health. Can I be able to conceive a woman?
"That's it, it's getting late, I should rest."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and said, "After the kings have drunk the last glass of wine, please retreat."
The kings were overjoyed.
it is finally over!
Every moment in the Qianqing Palace was filled with fear, and I was extremely lucky to be able to leave alive.
Someone was actually sobbing quietly.
Zhu Qiyu put down his wine glass: "King Shu, why are you crying?"
The King of Shu trembled, his face full of horror: "I have troubled Your Majesty because of my regrets over the years. Please forgive me!"
"Sentimental years? Tell me." Zhu Qiyu stared at him, trying to fool a fool?
Because you survived, celebrate in advance.
Do you think I don't know?
I didn’t kill anyone today, so my hands are a little itchy.
"I have been reading the poems of Li and Du recently, so I was inspired by them. Please appreciate them..." The King of Shu trembled and recited a few sour poems.
This poem doesn't even rhyme, it has no charm at all.
It's a poem, but it's more like a crude modern poem with no artistic conception. It just sounds like shit.
"Is your poor poem worthy of remembering the years?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Since the King of Shu likes Li Du's poems, Feng Xiao will go and copy a copy of the poems from the library and send it to the King of Shu."
"After the King of Shu returned home, he recited it day and night."
"I will conduct random checks at the next banquet."
"Since you like it, you should memorize it all, understand the artistic conception, and tell it about it."
"I have been reading since I was a child, and I still can't put it down."
"But he really has no talent for poetry, and the poems he writes are nonsense."
"Now that there is a poetic talent in the clan, I must cultivate him well."
The King of Shu cried immediately.
Is this a reward or a punishment?
I have memorized Li Du's poems backwards and forwards. You don't just check them randomly, but you also explain the artistic conception. Can you just let me die?
I don’t know much about poetry, I don’t even know a few words, but I’m pretty good at carrying birds in cages.
I don’t want Wang Jue anymore, I just want to be quiet.
"Thank you, my dear!" King Shu kowtowed with tears in his eyes.
Zhu Qiyu looked down at the kings: "Who else likes poems? Come forward and I will give you poems. It is not easy for the clan to produce a poem."
Who dares to stand up?
Even if you usually like to write sour poems, you don’t dare to get into trouble.
How could the emperor hope that the clan would produce any poetic talents?
Instead, I tell the kings: If I ask you to cry, you have to cry; if I ask you to laugh, you have to laugh.
Don't be shameless.
"Since there is no such thing, then I have to focus on training the King of Shu. It is not easy to produce a poem in the clan."
Zhu Qiyu laughed, and that smile was as malicious as possible.
The King of Shu missed his grandfather. Grandpa, it would be great if you were still alive.
"Everyone, please step back."
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense, and his interest was waning.
After the kings had retired, he sat on a chair and ate the meal.
A little cold.
I drank a cup of hot tea to warm my stomach.
Zhu Qiyu felt refreshed and said: "Feng Xiao, Gu Youzhi, what do you think of the kings?"
Feng Xiao and Gu Youzhi trembled.
How can a servant be allowed to comment on the affairs of the heavenly family?
Feng Xiao winked at Gu Youzhi, "You go ahead."
"Go back to your Majesty, I thought the kings would not dare to make mistakes." Gu Youzhi carefully replied.
Is not this nonsensical?
Zhu Qiyu walked out of Qianqing Palace and strolled in the courtyard.
The rain will stop now.
There is no stagnant water in the courtyard. If there is even a little bit of stagnant water, the eunuchs will sweep it constantly and the road will be very clean.
"Emperor Taizong controlled the kings with property."
Gu Youzhi thought about it and said: "Now that the emperor allows the kings to do business, we can only find another way to control the kings."
"Then look, what method should be used?" Zhu Qiyu asked, he intended to train the eunuchs around him.
"Back to your lord, all princes are honest and honest in front of you, but in front of others, you are not as big on airs."
"Therefore, the emperor must keep the clan in the capital and is not allowed to leave the capital even half a step."
"And everything in the capital is in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor will naturally control it."
"It's just that, as a result, the dissatisfaction of the kings will probably rise."
What Gu Youzhi meant was to lock him up in the capital and let the emperor do whatever he wanted.
Don't forget it.
The emperor's other sons will eventually be crowned kings. You can kill those side kings at will, but when it's your own son's turn, are you willing to kill them?
When the prince ascends the throne a hundred years later, will he let his brother go?
When Zhu Qiyu used the knife, he set a wrong example for future generations. If future generations follow his example, they will also use the knife on their brothers. This is also called inheritance.
The prince doesn't feel sorry for his brother, but will the father not feel sorry for him?
The reason why Emperor Taizu divided the kings among them was because he loved his children and grandchildren, and was worried that if he stayed in the capital, he would be beaten and killed by the emperor, so he divided them out so that the emperor could be out of sight and out of mind, so that tragedies of fratricide would not occur.
As for the kings being imprisoned in Beijing, the initiative rests entirely with the emperor.
Even if we don't kill him today, we will kill him sooner or later in the next few days.
The emperor's suspicion will be infinitely amplified by the courtiers. After hearing the slander for a long time, they will take it seriously.
The brothers will eventually be killed.
Zhu Qiyu considered it.
Gu Youzhi was frightened.
"That makes sense, but it's just one-sided."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Staying in the capital is only one of the means. We cannot let the kings just eat free rice and not work."
This is Taizong's ancestral system.
His rebellious background will eliminate the rebellious thoughts of all the kings.
Not allowing the kings to engage in business is actually treating the kings like pigs and eliminating their desire to rebel.
Even if they rebel, it will only become a joke and it is impossible for the rebellion to succeed.
But in this case, the financial burden will be too heavy, and sooner or later the dynasty will be overwhelmed.
Zhu Qiyu asked the kings to come out to work, so he had to cultivate their abilities. When he was alive, he could control the kings. When he was gone, would the capable kings become ambitious?
"This slave is shallow and can only think of these." Gu Youzhi had reservations and did not dare to go too deep.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him.
He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Feng Xiao, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Back to the emperor, slaves thought they could seal the kings overseas!" Feng Xiao said along the emperor's mind.
He was the tapeworm in the emperor's heart, and naturally he knew what the emperor thought.
"You are slippery."
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Overseas is not easy. Only the princes who can excel in the overseas can build a foundation industry overseas."
"But the talented prince will have a heart to the throne?"
He said his son.
It is impossible for other side veins to inherit the Dadong. Whoever dares to have this mind, he destroys him.
"The emperor's dragon son, the grandson, is abundant, and the throne of the emperor should naturally be, but the emperor teachs it with heart, and naturally will not mess up the ethics."
Feng Xiao patted.
Of course he knew who was talking about, and he must be the emperor's own son.
How could he work hard for someone else's son?
This is human nature.
"You can say nicely."
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "It's too far away. For the time being, do you do so, wait for the wrong place, and then correct it in time."
"By the way, where is the Mass. When will you enter Beijing?"
Zhu Qiyu drove the topic.
"Back to the emperor, the mission has arrived in Shun Tianfu, and he will be able to reach the Beijing teacher tomorrow." Feng Xiao returned.
"Then arrange the day after the arrangement."
Zhu Qiyu slightly pioneered: "Xuan Tan came here, it's okay, I am lacking today, let's ask the pulse again tomorrow."
He wanted to know what extent he was so good.
When will the woman conceive?
He couldn't wait for his son.
As long as he has his son, even if the throne is completely steady, and then slowly build King Mobei, the Fa must be able to compete for himself, and everything is good.
He is considering, should you first get Tang Guifei conceived?
Or Tan Shi?
Those who have the eldest son should be established as the queen and exempt from the dispute of winning.
Who is more suitable for these two women?
Zhu Qiyu was deeply thought.
"Xuan Guifei came over to wait." Zhu Qiyu suddenly said.
