After Qianhu, the Jin Yiwei, retreated, Wang Chao Fucai, who was standing next to the emperor, asked carefully:
"Long live Lord, is this arrangement too hasty?"
"What if they really dare to gather people to cause chaos and coerce the people to force Long Live Lord to give up the pursuit?"
"General Li and the Young Master may not be able to surrender to those people living in Jiangnan. Once something goes wrong, what should I do!"
Wang Chaofu had been in the palace for so many years. He was already a powerful eunuch during the Wanli Dynasty, and he still had a basic understanding of the power of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
He knew very well that the tax supervisor was beaten to death in the street. Now that the emperor was reaching out to Jiangnan again, he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, smiled confidently, and then said:
"If I give up when I encounter a little difficulty, how am I different from Song Gaozong? There is no need for me to continue to sit on the throne!"
"If they want to cause trouble, they have to see how much they have. What I'm afraid of is that they won't jump out and resist, otherwise I really have no reason to deal with them!"
"My eldest companion, you have been in the palace for so many years and have served me for more than a year. Although you are not well-informed, you have gained some knowledge and insight into this matter of national affairs!"
"Why don't you know the importance of the army? Why don't you know what a strong and obedient army means?"
Wang Chaofu immediately put on a smile, put his hand on the emperor's shoulder and pressed it gently, and then said in a very humble tone:
"My slave is stupid. How can I guess the thoughts and talents of Lord Long live? I only know how to serve Lord Long live well and handle the affairs of the inner court and the West Factory!"
Zhu Youxiao stopped responding to him. He had heard too many sneaky compliments and was really tired of them.
Seeing that the emperor was concentrating on reading the memorial, Wang Chaofu became silent and continued to pat the emperor's shoulders and back.
What he didn't know was that the guards standing on both sides of the royal platform were staring at his every move attentively, and their left hands had already clenched the scabbard.
After Zhu Youxiao finished handling some urgent memorials, he walked out of Qianqing Palace and went to visit Concubine Chun. In fact, he mainly wanted to see his daughter.
When returning, I happened to meet Qin Shizi and Jin Shizi at Qianqing Gate.
"I will wait for you to see your Majesty. Your Majesty's greetings!"
Although he didn't like these two people very much, Zhu Youxiao still pretended to be very happy and went up to them personally to help them up.
"Hahahaha, with you two in the capital, the pressure on me and the queen has been reduced a lot. We will still go to the palace more often in the future and accompany the concubine to tell interesting stories about Xi'an and Taiyuan!"
Concubine Liu entered the palace in the sixth year of Wanli and has lived in the palace for more than forty years. In these years, she has never stepped out of the palace.
Although she has been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, it does not mean that he is not interested in outside things.
Zhu Youxiao has a lot of things to do every day, and he has to handle all major national affairs personally. If nothing happens, Mrs. Liu will not disturb the emperor.
After Zhang Yan entered the palace, every time she went to pay her respects, it took at least two or three hours to leave the Cining Palace, which was basically the time at noon.
Except for chatting about daily life to enhance feelings, the rest of the content is all about things outside the palace.
This time she heard that the two princes of the Qin and Jin dynasties had returned to the capital with the emperor, and she immediately issued an edict to bring them to Cining Palace for an audience.
This time it was hard for both of them. The task of accompanying the concubine to relieve her boredom fell gloriously on them.
I originally thought that today's drudgery was finally over, and I was just thinking about how to be cool when I left the palace. I met the emperor here, and I couldn't help but feel depressed.
They had become accustomed to the emperor's remarks to tease them.
After these few months of getting along, they also realized that the emperor was not hostile to them, but rather friendly to them.
When they were in the military camp, there was no so-called avoidance of suspicion when handling military and political matters. They also listened to military meetings and strategic arrangements without any scruples.
In the words of the emperor, even though there is a gap of ten generations and the blood relationship is estranged, as long as they are descendants of Taizu and their surname is Zhu, they will not believe it, even if their own family members do not believe it, then who can they believe?
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is what I should do!"
Although they have little education, even if they don't know how to speak in this kind of scene, they have already learned it in the past few months.
After Zhu Youxiao greeted them for a while, he took them back to Qianqing Palace!
He was worried about how to get Qin Fan and Jin Fan to support him in suspending their annual salary. Unexpectedly, he met these two noble people as soon as he went out. It seemed that God was helping him!
Zhu Youxiao did not hide anything from the two people who were under his control, and immediately made his thoughts and plans clear to them.
When the two princes heard that the emperor was going to suspend their salaries for a year, their expressions quickly changed, and they felt depressed.
Zhu Cunshu was a little better, but Zhu Shenxuan's heart was bleeding. Their Jin vassal had just suffered a massive hemorrhage, basically wiping out all the savings of the previous kings.
Before he could take a breath, this year's salary was about to disappear again. At this moment, he really wanted to cry without tears.
Why do things like this always happen to them? It's really difficult to deal with.
Especially when they heard that they were asked to write a letter to inform their father and then submit a letter to the emperor, the expressions on their faces began to stiffen.
This is an offending job. If dad knew that he had promised the emperor, he would be beaten to death if he went back.
Zhu Youxiao also knew that this matter was difficult, but he had no choice. It was impossible for him to carry this big pot and offend all the vassal kings in the world, right?
"During the Hongwu period, when Taizu was still alive, Emperor Chengzu fought side by side with King Min and King Gong, leading troops to conquer Mongolia in the north. They had a deep brotherly relationship!"
"Now that we are of our generation, we naturally cannot humiliate our ancestors. At this time when the country is in crisis, the Qin and Jin vassals should step forward and do their best for the country!"
Zhu Cunshu had always been as timid as a mouse and did not dare to disobey the emperor's wishes. However, seeing that Zhu Shenxuan did not say anything, he did not agree.
At this moment, Zhu Shenxuan was really scolding his mother. He had defrauded my family of so much money, but now he still wants to fool me.
Everyone in the world doesn’t know that Yan Fan and Jin Fan were sworn enemies back then. Prince Gong even went to Nanjing to see Prince Yiwen to report that Yan Fan wanted to rebel!
If it weren't for the generosity of Prince Yiwen, the existence of Yan Fan would still be a problem, and now he still has the nerve to talk about it!
But he was angry, but he was also a coward. The emperor's power forced him to submit!
Finally, after a long period of talking, the two princes agreed to write a letter back and asked their father to write a memorial and submit it, and stood in line!
