Jinling court!
Zhu Yunwen lost his temper again!
The reason naturally comes from the two secret letters from Peiping.
One of them comes from the hand of the great eunuch Zhou Shu, which details Zhu Di's madness and the three guards of Yanshan who disobey the decree.
Originally, Zhu Yunwen was a little happy when he learned that Zhu Di was crazy.
Regardless of whether Zhu Di is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, it can only prove that Zhu Di is incapable of competing with the imperial court and has to take this step!
But immediately afterwards, the three guards of Yanshan ignored the imperial edict and directly resisted it, but it was like giving Zhu Yunzhen a slap in the face!
It’s really… so unreasonable!
Zhu Yunwen handed the secret letter to Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru for circulation.
As soon as Huang Zicheng saw the news that Zhu Di was crazy, he immediately jumped out and reminded: "Your Majesty, there is definitely a fraud in this matter!"
"The King of Yan, Zhu Di, was mad sooner or later, but he didn't go mad until the imperial team arrived in Peking. This madness is too strange!"
"From what I can see, this must be King Zhu Di of Yan pretending to be crazy and acting stupid in an attempt to escape the sanction of the court!"
Zhu Yunwen's expression changed slightly and he didn't answer.
He looked at Qitai and Fang Xiaoru.
Qitai felt the emperor's gaze and had to speak.
"Your Majesty, no matter whether King Zhu Di of Yan is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, the campaign to cut down the vassal cannot be stopped!"
"The three guards of Yanshan did not obey the decree, which has touched the bottom line of the imperial court. If the Yan Palace is allowed to continue to operate in Beijing, it will not be long before the whole of Peiping only recognizes King Yan Zhu Di and not His Majesty the Emperor! "
Qitai's words were very heart-wrenching, but that was the truth.
A few deputy 1,000-year-olds dare to openly defy orders and are arrogant and arrogant to the extreme!
If we continue to give King Yan Zhu Di a chance to develop, I am afraid that the entire Peking soldiers and people will only recognize him as King Yan!
Zhu Yunwen's face was gloomy, and cold gleams flashed in his eyes.
Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan and these rebellious officials were simply slapping the new emperor in the face!
Qiu Ba, a bunch of god-damned warriors, how dare you?
Do you really think that traitor Zhu Di can protect you?
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"What do Qi Aiqing think we should do?"
After all, Qi Tai was familiar with military affairs, and his talent was recognized even by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen still values Qi Tai's opinion more on the issues of these army officers and soldiers.
Qitai pondered for a moment and directly gave the solution.
"Now in Beiping City, all the three guards of Yanshan, led by them, have become the direct private soldiers of King Yan Zhu Di!"
"If the imperial court wants to take action against King Zhu Di of Yan, it must first disintegrate the entire armed forces of Beiping City!"
"From what I see, we should first send military generals loyal to the imperial court to Peiping to replace the generals of the Peiping guards. They have a friendship with the King of Yan, Zhu Di, on the expedition. Although they will not be allowed to accompany the King of Yan to rebel, it will be full of variables. !”
"Especially Chen Heng, the commander of the Peking Capital Division. This person is in charge of the guards in Peiping. His attitude will have a profound impact on the action of reducing the vassal state. I ask the emperor to immediately choose a good general to replace Chen Heng, or transfer him outside the Great Wall or move him He was transferred to Datong Xuanfu and other places to serve."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Zhu Yunwen nodded immediately.
He had also heard of the name Chen Heng. This was the founding general who followed Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to raise troops in Bozhou. If he colluded with Zhu Di, that would be really bad!
"As for the candidate for replacement, is there anyone in Qi Qing's family who can recommend him?"
"Henan Guard Commander Qian Shi, Guangwei General Xie Gui!"
Qitai did not hesitate and named his most promising talents.
"This person is the 40th generation grandson of Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Because of his family background, he can be said to be both civilized and military. He made great military exploits during the Hongwu period and was loyal to the imperial court. I recommend him to be the commander of the Beiping Capital Division."
Thank you?
Xie An’s 40th generation grandson?
Zhu Yunwen's face lit up when he heard the name.
It turns out that they are still descendants of sages, so there is no doubt about their loyalty.
Because of this identity, Zhu Yunwen developed a lot of affection for Xie Guisheng for the first time.
He, Zhu Yunwen, was an arty person. He not only cherished his reputation as a benevolent and virtuous person, but also often regarded himself as a scholar. Otherwise, he would not have vigorously promoted the status of civil servants and gentry after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
In Zhu Yunwen's view, Xie Gui, who was both civil and military, was several times better than Chen Heng's warrior Qiu Ba!
Just when His Majesty the Emperor was about to agree, Huang Zicheng jumped out again at this moment.
"Your Majesty, I think that apart from Chen Heng, the other generals of the Peiping Dusi are also suspected, so we have to be on guard!"
"Oh? What Mr. Huang means..." Zhu Yunwen asked patiently, pretending to be a sage who obeyed advice easily.
"I recommend Zhang Xin, the commander of the Puding Guards, to serve as the commander of the Peking and Parallel Capital Command."
Huang Zicheng started his performance.
"Zhang Xin's father is a veteran general who followed Taizu Emperor Gao in his military expedition. He has always been loyal to the court. Moreover, Zhang Xin has made meritorious service, bravery and strategy in the southern expedition over the years. The court should reward him to avoid chilling the hearts of the meritorious soldiers."
Zhu Yunwen nodded when he heard this and didn't pay much attention to Zhang Xing.
He still likes Xie Gui, a virtuous descendant who is both civilized and military-savvy. Zhu Yunwen instinctively does not like Qiu Ba, a martial artist like Zhang Xing who is illiterate in literature.
But after all, Zhang Xing was the candidate recommended by Huang Zicheng, and he was loyal to the court and had made great military exploits. In this case, he might as well be transferred to Peiping to assist General Xie Gui.
"In that case, it's settled. I will promote Xie Gui to the position of commander of the Peiping Capital Division, and promote Zhang Xing to the commander of the Peking Division, and rush to Peking immediately to take up his posts!"
"The original commander sent all the commander Qian Shi and others to Kaiping to prepare for border garrison against the enemy!"
"Your Majesty!"
Huang Zicheng glanced at Qi Tai triumphantly.
Cutting down the vassal vassal was all a feat. Of course he had to send some of his own people to Peking to share in the merit!
Qi Tai turned a blind eye to Huang Zicheng's provocation. He was too lazy to waste words with such a clown.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Bing is the envoy to Peiping. Xie Gui and Zhang Xin are in charge of the envoy office in Peiping. They can secretly monitor the affairs of Prince Yan's palace!"
"But the three guards of Yanshan are like a stick in their throats. I ask the emperor to issue a decree and order the kings not to control the civil and military officials of the palace. In this way, Xie Gui and Zhang Xin can transfer them to Kaiping Guards in the name of Beiping Dusi. Defend the enemy!"
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately nodded happily.
Qitai's plan to reduce the feudal vassal is one link inside another, which is very popular with me!
"When the three guards of Yanshan are transferred out of Beiping City, the imperial team can directly question the Prince of Yan's Mansion and arrest Prince Zhu Di of Yan!"
"Great kindness!" Zhu Yunwen was full of praise and was about to give an order.
However, Fang Xiaoru on the side put forward a different opinion.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's face became stiff and he looked at Fang Xiaoru with slight embarrassment.
This scholar has been busy restoring the well-field system, so why is he suddenly so interested in reducing the vassal status?
"Your Majesty, King Yan Zhu Di has gone crazy now. If the Emperor continues to persecute him again and again, I am worried that it will damage the Emperor's reputation!"
"After all, King Yan Zhu Di is the emperor's uncle. Whether he is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, the emperor should send an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him to confirm his condition!"
"If King Yan Zhu Di is crazy, then he will naturally not pose a threat to the court. If King Yan Zhu Di is pretending to be crazy, then the emperor can deprive King Yan of his title for the crime of deceiving the emperor, thereby eliminating this serious problem!"
"This is the safest policy. Your Majesty is a wise king and a wise ruler. How can he ruin his reputation because of this King of Yan, Zhu Di?"
After Zhu Yunwen heard this, he nodded with deep understanding.
Fang Xiaoru focuses on the word "stability", and his plan is also remarkable.
Qi Tai opened his mouth, preparing to refute, but unexpectedly, Zhu Yunwen immediately gave the order.
"In that case, then follow what the Qi Qing family and Mr. Fang said!"
"While transferring the three guards from Yanshan, we will also send the imperial physician to Peiping to treat my uncle Wang!"
