"Zhu Yijun!"
King Lu suddenly couldn't accept such a result, so he called Zhu Yijun by his name and looked at Zhu Yijun with gritted teeth.
Zhu Yijun glanced at him, his eyes as cold as a knife.
King Lu suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted, and hurriedly fell to the ground: "My brother, my brother made a mistake!"
Zhu Yijun only waved his hand.
So, Jin Yiwei took King Lu away.
When King Lu was being escorted off, he shouted: "Brother Emperor, you keep saying that I am unfilial, haven't you ever thought about your mother's feelings?!"
"I hold the power of the world, why should I look at the face of the harem!"
Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice.
When he first came to this world, Zhu Yijun knew that his biggest challenge was not others, but himself. He needed to overcome his fear of some ethical relationships in this era and become a truly decent emperor.
What is a decent emperor, that is, when he needs to be ruthless, he can ignore anyone's face, only whether his own authority has been maintained.
Just like Emperor Qin dared to throw his mother's other two children to death in front of his mother.
If Zhu Yijun now wants to be worthy of being an emperor, he must first have a hard heart.
certainly!
Because he is not from this world, he doesn't feel much pressure. He just wants to use the power of the clan to open up the world in the future. In addition, Xinli also advocates benevolence, so he cares about it openly. Because of the brotherhood, he did not directly choose to execute King Lu, but instead made him the first vassal king to go to sea by imprisoning him.
To be honest, this is the first clan that Zhu Yijun arranged to go to sea.
Originally, Zhu Yijun did not dare to arrange the clan without authorization because in this era, arranging people to go to sea was like exile. Now, he had a legitimate reason to arrange for King Lu.
Therefore, King Lu was imprisoned in Japan by his decree.
As for why he broke King Lu's legs, punished him for his crime, and physically punished an imperial relative, this was Zhu Yijun's deliberate attempt to establish his authority and let the imperial relatives know to be afraid and not take his emperor's face seriously. .
If today he dares to beat his Jin Yiwei and tease the palace maid he arranges, will his slaves dare to provoke his own Jin Yiwei tomorrow?
Therefore, Zhu Yijun must stop the car.
However, Zhu Yijun still hopes that the Ming Dynasty can complete its transformation as soon as possible and alleviate this internal conflict through external development and profit. He does not have to make his brothers and nephews kill each other to complete the reform. He hopes that the foreigners will bear the cost of this reform.
After all, Zhu Yijun asked himself that he was still an ordinary person, and he could not really be as hard-hearted as those iron-blooded kings in history.
He comes from a later generation, and the education of later generations has had a profound impact on him, so he is not yet able to completely ignore the killing of other people's lives. However, he is still affected by this era and will often choose to take other people's lives.
Zhu Yijun is keeping King Lu alive now because he wants to see if the Ming Dynasty's transformation will focus on external expansion instead of internal fighting, which will lead to a relaxation of brotherly relations, even among brothers from the royal family.
"ah!"
"It hurts!"
With the emperor's order, nothing can be changed.
King Lu's right leg was hit hard by a board, and then there was a crunching sound immediately. The bones and flesh were broken for a while, and he couldn't help but screamed until the right leg was really broken.
At the same time, King Lu also received twenty blows on his face, causing several teeth to fall out and his mouth to be filled with blood. For a while, his face was swollen like a watermelon and he could no longer speak.
But this also made him understand the importance of royal authority, so he did not complain after being carried back to the palace.
Shi Yusi.
"Your Majesty, King Lu has locked up Japan. After discussion, I believe that we should go by land and send a few more teams to pretend to be escorting King Lu, so as to prevent anyone from plotting to kill King Lu and then putting the blame on Your Majesty, saying that the Tian family is unkind."
After Zhu Yijun came here to listen to politics, Shen Shixing reported to him the decision to imprison King Lu in Japan.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "This is very appropriate! In addition, I issued an edict saying that this matter is only the fault of the arrogant and immoral Zhu Yili. Although Zhu Yili's wife and concubines are accompanying them, they will not be imprisoned. If they have children in the future, they can also seek the title of clan. So that people in the world don’t know what I mean.”
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"In this case, if Zhu Yili really gets in the way, the people of the world will not be able to blame the Tian family for being ruthless."
As soon as Shen Shi finished talking in jargon, the voice of Ye Xianggao, the minister in charge of the imperial palace, suddenly came from outside: "The Queen Mother, this is an important place for political discussions, you can't go in!"
The Queen Mother is late?
Shen Shixing couldn't help but turn around and look at each other with Wang Xijue, Hai Rui and others.
Hai Rui even showed his displeasure first: "What is the Queen Mother doing here?! Although this is still the inner court, people from the harem are not allowed to come here!"
Shen Shixing said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, I would like to set up a screen first so that Your Majesty can go and see the Holy Mother in a family ceremony. It is not appropriate for me and other foreign ministers to see the Holy Mother. They should avoid suspicion in the screen!"
"Accurate!"
Zhu Yijun replied, got up and took Zhang Hong and Sun Xin outside.
When Zhu Yijun came out, he saw that it was indeed Mrs. Li, with an angry look on her face and wet tears, so he naturally guessed her purpose, but he still asked: "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
Li Shi sneered: "I'm here to plead guilty and ask the emperor to deal with me. Zhu Yili committed a heinous crime and the emperor wanted to kill his relatives out of justice. As a widow, I dare not say anything or disobey the holy will. However, it is still necessary to plead guilty. After all, Zhu Yili's sins today are all due to my pampering! Therefore, it is better to ask the emperor to demote me to Japan and imprison him, or give me three feet of white silk, which is better than letting me watch my son go. If the barbarian land suffers more, it can be considered a mercy from the emperor!"
"What are you talking about, Queen Mother?"
"He, Zhu Yixuan, has been crowned as an adult, and his guilt will naturally be borne by him."
Zhu Yijun replied.
Li Shi sneered: "How come the emperor really believes me when I say this? Does the emperor really think that he is really guilty?"
Zhu Yijun said: "I don't understand what the queen said!"
Li said: "What don't you understand?"
Then, Mrs. Li suddenly glared at Zhang Hong, Sun Xin and other eunuchs: "Jiu'er did nothing wrong at all, but was instigated by these domestic slaves! Now that the emperor wants to imprison him in Japan, whose face will he lose? , doesn’t the emperor himself know it well?!”
"I don't know!"
Zhu Yijun replied.
"Then let me tell you, these slaves have damaged my face! That's why I came to apologize!"
"If you still have some filial piety, you should not let your brother leave the capital and issue an edict to the outside world that all this was instigated by the domestic slaves. It has been found that your brother is not at fault!"
Li said.
Li said and looked at Shen Shixing and others inside the screen: "And you, as ministers, why don't you stop the emperor from doing such unfilial things?"
Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and others wanted to say it but couldn't say it, and were afraid of the infamy of blaming the Holy Mother for the emperor.
Hai Rui knew that the Queen Mother was trying to be playful and it was inappropriate for the Emperor to appear in person. This was the time when ministers and ministers were needed to work bravely for the country, so he stood up from the screen and said:
"The Queen Mother's words are wrong!"
"Zhu Yili stayed in Beijing after his wedding. He has been criticized by the world. He said that the Queen Mother was unethical, forcibly keeping the vassal king, embarrassing the emperor, and intending to change the king!"
"Now that Zhu Yili has made such a big mistake, the whole world is talking about it being caused by the Queen Mother's pampering. Your Majesty is the Queen Mother's saintly virtue, so you have to surrender your brother and mother to confine Zhu Yili in Japan. Why is the Queen Mother still not considerate? Is it true that the Queen Mother Do you want everyone in the world to say that the fault of Hongzhi lies with the Zhang family, and the fault of Wanli lies with the Li family?!"
