Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Yousong who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "You are a wise man, a hundred times better than your father! According to the decree, Zhu Yousong, the prince of Prince Fu, is righteous and loyal, so he was renamed Hirado County. King, grant me the land of Pinghu, and order him to follow you and serve me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Zhu Yousong got up hurriedly, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Fortunately, the emperor indeed forgave himself because of his voluntary surrender, and still recognized his clan identity. It was better than following his father's rebellion and being put to death. It was just a common crime." Where is the household?"
"I obey the decree! However, Your Majesty, it seems that there is no place like Hirado in the Ming Dynasty?"
At this time, Xiong Tingbi also asked.
Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly: "Why doesn't the Ming Dynasty? The world belongs to me, and it also belongs to the Ming Dynasty. It's just that there is no Pinghu in the middle land. However, considering that the fiefdom of King Pingdo is far away from the middle land and is not yet civilized, so , King Hirado can stay in the capital temporarily instead of joining the feudal clan, and we can draw up the decree accordingly!"
"yes!"
Xiong Tingbi replied and thought to himself: "Your Majesty has no intention of granting real land to the vassal king, so why are you using some foreign place names to justify the ancestral system?"
Only then did Zhu Yousong realize it, thinking that it turned out that Hirado was not in China, but when he heard the emperor say that he did not need to go to the vassal for the time being, he did not feel unhappy anymore. After all, for him now, he could not be like himself. It would be good if he was given death like his father in the future.
Before Zhu Yousong met Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao had already learned about King Fu's report, and had ordered that all the titles of King Fu's family be revoked, and Wang Sanshan was appointed as the manager of Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Huguang to suppress the rebellion. Zhu Changxun's rebels promoted Lu Xiang to the position of governor of Henan and chief military officer of Henan. He first sent troops from Luyang Pass as a vanguard to conquer the Luoyang rebels.
Therefore, not long after King Fu launched his army to rebel, Lu Xiangsheng had already led his troops to Luoyang City.
At the same time, Wang Sanshan also received his promotion to the rank of manager, and asked Yang Zhaoji, who had been promoted to the commander-in-chief of Kaifeng, to lead his battalion across Sishui Pass to send troops to conquer King Fu's rebels.
In addition, Wang Sanshan, as a general manager, also asked the Shanxi governor to send Zhao Lijiao, who had been promoted to Shanxi's chief military officer, to send troops to Pinglu, forming a three-way siege against King Fu.
Prince Fu, who was still busy in Luoyang to ascend the throne and choose his concubine, didn't know that the court had already made arrangements.
Moreover, King Fu, who had just finished selecting his concubine, had just made up his mind to conquer the capital in person and had already begun to lead his troops to Yanshi.
The main reason why King Fu decided to go to the capital in person was because he really wanted to return to the capital. After all, he had stayed in the capital from birth to the age of twenty-eight, and it had only been eleven years since he became a vassal. Therefore, he had more affection for the capital, so he decided to personally Go to war.
The magistrate of Yanshi had already received the order to go to Kaifeng, and even the entire Yanshi treasury of grain and silver had been transferred in advance by Zhu Youxiao's order.
Therefore, Yanshi is an empty city.
However, King Fu still failed to capture Yanshi, because before he arrived at Yanshi, Yang Zhaoji had already brought his cavalry to Yanshi in advance and lay in ambush outside the city of Yanshi. While King Fu's troops were not yet stable, they attacked They raided King Fu's troops.
Most of King Fu's soldiers and horses are a ragtag group of people who can bully and bully the common people. They have no experience at all in this kind of formal combat. They even lack the common sense of military command such as setting up camps and posting sentries. So, when they encounter a cavalry surprise attack, they are instantly defeated. They dispersed in a cacophony and were defeated.
Therefore, Yang Zhaoji's original intention was just to harass King Fu's troops and explore the truth, but he directly won a great victory and defeated King Fu's 50,000 troops.
King Fu also fled back to Luoyang in panic.
From this time on, he, who had begun to taste some benefits from rebelling, began to realize that rebellion was really not fun, and he began to feel uneasy because of this.
However, King Fu can no longer return to Luoyang.
Because Lu Xiangsheng had already led his troops from Luyang Pass and captured Luoyang City in one fell swoop.
Just like in history, when King Ning rebelled and attacked Anqing, Wang Yangming took advantage of the situation and captured Nanchang City.
Lu Xiangsheng's 1st Infantry Battalion of Guards Town was the main battalion of Guards Town that had fought several battles with Jiannu. It would not be difficult to capture the city of Luoyang.
Therefore, when King Fu returned to Luoyang, he was directly ambushed by Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng could not wait foolishly in Luoyang City for King Fu to return.
After all, he is considered a famous general in history. Although he is still young now, he has studied under the veteran generals in the martial arts hall for a long time. Naturally, he also knows how to set up sentries and detect the movements of King Fu's army. He can analyze even without sending out sentries. It is very likely that King Chufu will be defeated and flee back to Luoyang.
Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng ambushed King Fu in advance on his only way back to Luoyang City.
However, King Fu was lucky, and under the protection of the last few hundred remaining guards, he escaped from the ambush site and fled around the Ganshui River.
"Where is the Crown Prince? Has he been found?"
At this time, King Fu still asked about the whereabouts of his son Zhu Yousong.
"I don't know."
Ye Chuchun replied.
King Fu didn't say anything else, he just smiled bitterly.
Not long after, Lu Xiangsheng led his officers and soldiers to find King Fu.
Because King Fu has a locator beside him.
And this locator is Ye Chuchun.
King Fu naturally didn't know, so when he saw a large number of officers and soldiers coming around, he was just surprised and scared, and couldn't help but said: "This, this, why are these officers and soldiers here again!"
Next, King Fu was quickly captured by Lu Xiangsheng's people.
So far, King Fu's rebellion has been put down in less than two months. The reason why it still takes two months is mainly because it takes some time to deliver the news on the road, otherwise it will be shorter.
"Passenger's decree! All the land owned by King Fu has been converted into a state-owned farm. All the original tenants have been converted into farm households, and the rent has been reduced. In addition, all taxes imposed by King Fu during this period have been abolished. Luoyang taxes have been exempted for one year, with interest. Due to public complaints, all of Prince Fu's property was confiscated. Except for Prince Hirado who surrendered and was not punished because of his merit in exposing the matter, everyone in Prince Fu's palace was escorted to Beijing to await trial!
After Zhu Youxiao learned that King Fu's rebellion had been put down, he immediately issued a new decree.
Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "In addition, I have sent a message to King Zhu Changzi of Lu to ask him how his foot injury is. When he is expected to recover and go to Beijing to report his crimes, how long do I need to wait for him? Also, let me write it down. I asked King Lu about Zhu Changzi's foot injury, so there is no need to remember the matter about King Fu. Di Bao also did the same, so that people in the world only know the friendship between the Tian family."
"According to the order!"
Xiong Tingbi replied, thinking: "In the end, it was your Majesty who first forced King Fu, who occupied the most land and embezzled the most court benefits, to rebel and cause chaos in Luoyang, which made King Fu lose the hearts of the people in Henan, and made the people of Luoyang more aware of King Fu's evil, and then got his share of the land. To the people, the conflicts between the people and the land in Henan were greatly alleviated, and the people of Luoyang knew that the emperor was better than King Fu. He also threatened King Zhu Changzi of Lu by using methods against King Fu. Now, on the surface, His Majesty is asking about King Lu's injury, but in fact, he is letting the people of Luoyang know that the emperor is better than King Fu. King Lu knows his own interests, so don’t stop being honest! What a shock!"
…
Zhu Changzi, the king of Lu who was also the vassal king in Henan, also learned about the suppression of King Fu's rebellion. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly said to his princess Ouyang: "I can no longer pretend to be sick. , you have to go to the capital as soon as possible, and you have to admit the crime that you need to admit. If you keep pretending like this, I will be the next one to be suppressed by the rebellion! You must prepare for me quickly, I will enter the capital immediately!"
"Why should I plead guilty? Why should I plead guilty? Isn't it just that I followed the nobles to speculate in grain and did not let the grain from Huguang and Henan go to Jiangnan? What does this mean? It's just making money. Besides, haven't we already lost money? Why is the emperor still holding on to him, are we still a family?!"
Ouyang said somewhat unhappily.
"Not only this, but also loan sharking, occupying a lot of people's land, and several life-threatening lawsuits. In addition, there may be many people's women arrested."
Zhu Changzi said.
"This is not even a big deal. Your Majesty, you are a nobleman of Tianhuang. How can you be punished for being an untouchable? This has always been the case. Unless a nobleman of the royal family rebels, how can he be punished for these things! Is this a crime?!"
Ouyang was dissatisfied.
