After leaving the palace, all the civil and military officials in the court stopped in unison, looking at each other with dazzling eyes, but no one dared to speak, even the military heroes who were usually unscrupulous in their words.
After a while, no one dared to speak. Everyone wiped the cold sweat on their backs and dispersed with their close colleagues. Everyone knew that if they dared to jointly submit a memorial at this time, they would definitely steal the limelight and become famous in the capital.
But they were even more afraid that they would be in the limelight at this time, and be caught by the Holy Emperor at night and taken to the execution ground to kill the chicken as a warning to the monkeys. No one dared to be the chicken that was killed.
The censors and the like, who are of noble character and are really not afraid of death, are not willing to lead the crowd to force the emperor, not to mention the military heroes. This is not their position. Dare to contact the civil servants is tantamount to forcing the palace, which is a life-or-death situation. .
Although the current Holy Emperor is now an emperor, he was originally a rebel leader. At that level, who can defeat him? It must be a dead end.
What's more, King Kaiping, who is now in charge of the Beijing camp, is a serious royal relative of the old Zhu family. The only two grandsons of the royal family have the blood of the Chang family. This is a decisive force that no one can shake.
In Taichung, the censor of Youdu, Ye Boju, had a face full of bitterness and hatred: "Although it is an ancient system to split the soil and seal the territory, looking at the annals of history, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was not the king unless he was the Liu family. Liu Han had been in power for ten thousand years, but within three generations he had reached a point where he could not lose his power, which finally led to the rebellion of Wu Wangbi and other seven kingdoms, greatly damaging the vitality of the Han Dynasty."
"In the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sima family repeated the same mistake, enfeoffing more than 20 of their children and granting military power, which eventually led to the Eight Kings Rebellion, which lasted for sixteen years. Since then, the country's power has declined, leading to the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty."
"The lessons of history are not far away, and we should take them as warnings! We must work together to advise and appeal to the emperor to put aside temporary personal favors, abolish the tentative proposals of feudal vassals, create a system of long-lasting peace, eliminate turmoil and stabilize the country, then all the people will be very happy, and the clan will be very happy. The so-called "eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor" is the duty of our censors, and it is also the responsibility of ministers."
All the censors agreed one after another, but at this time Zhang Cheng, the censor of Zuodu, looked down and said: "The Zhou Dynasty's policy of enfeoffment was to split the land and seal the borders, and to build vassal states, which could be extended for hundreds of years. The Qin Dynasty abolished feudalism but the two When the world dies, which one is better and which one is worse will be self-evident without debate."
"Absurd words! You are flattering and flattering, and you are worthy of being a censor?"
Zhang Cheng sighed and said to his colleagues who were glaring angrily: "You really don't know why the Holy One insists on ennobling the prince to become a vassal? He is not a foolish lord nowadays."
Everyone was silent, and someone whispered: "Drinking doves to quench thirst is just delaying the current turmoil to future generations. We all work together, so we may not have no better strategy."
"Who is working with you from top to bottom? We and other censors all rely on the Holy Emperor to know Jian Jian and know how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. But look at how many of them are Wu Xun's cronies now, from the Sixth Department of Zhongshu to the local guards. "
Censor Zhongcheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Be careful what you say!"
Ye Boju was silent for a long time and said: "Even if we can't stop your Majesty from enfeoffing vassal kings, we still need to take more control measures. In this way, we can do both. When the stubborn disease is gone, His Majesty the Prince will be able to reduce the vassal status smoothly in the future."
"That's right, we will consider the policies of the previous vassal towns and choose the best."
Zhang Cheng no longer provoked them at this time. At the beginning of the founding of the country, his literary spirit was clear. Although there were some villains in Taichung, the imperial censor, most of them were loyal to the emperor and the country.

In the Governor's Mansion, Runan Hou Mei Sizu, who had just been released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment a few days ago, was sitting at the top. During the emperor's northern tour, he was imprisoned by Zhu Biao for leaving his post without permission and causing turmoil in the capital camp.
However, in the end, it was handed over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment for deliberation, and he was sentenced to leave his post without authorization for a minor matter of abdication of official duties for private purposes. He was detained in prison for a short period of time. During this period, noble generals came to drink and have fun with him every day. When the emperor came back, he scolded him a few times and then let him go.
It seemed like a small punishment that was innocuous, but in reality he lost the power to take charge of the capital camp. He suddenly transformed from one of the most powerful people in the world to an idler living in the capital governor's mansion for his retirement. His face was saved. The lining has fallen off cleanly.
Gu Shi, the Marquis of Jining, glanced at several people: "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong. He came to this position because he saw that our old brothers were a bit of an eyesore and wanted to take the opportunity to take back the military power."
"Hmph, if you are really capable, you will give in, but there are a few yellow-mouthed kids, just like King Jin, haha."
"I have sent a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Hutu, His Highness may not be pleased with me. We are family."
"Your Highness should be more dissatisfied with the decentralization of power among the feudal lords."
"You're a tough guy..."
"Don't you dare to say any more nonsense about me! Don't forget who took your kid's life when they were crossing the river."
Marquis Runan glared at them: "That's enough, before other people's swords fall, let's have a falling out ourselves."
Several people glanced at him rather disapprovingly, "Brothers are all brothers, and you are just a Marquis. If you are still in charge of the capital, that's it. I respect you three points, but now you are still wandering around the Governor's Mansion with your bare buttocks." What a big guy.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Jining Hou Gu Shi suddenly laughed and went out without paying attention to anyone. He finally saw that without the leadership of the princes and princes above, there would be no unity below.
It is impossible to hinder the general trend even if there are any tricks in the discussion. This is also the intention of the superiors to show their intentions in such an open and aboveboard way, that is, they are sure that they will not be able to make waves.
Now look at it, the upper position is indeed far beyond what ordinary people can achieve. He is a born hero, and the few kings who have been canonized have been prepared for it.
Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, is upright and flawless, as bright as the sun and the moon. He underestimates power and the great situation. He would rather surrender himself than let down the mountains and rivers. He is just a general.
The king of Kaiping often encounters spring, and the birds of prey are bold and sharp, and they are all over the world. It is difficult to control, but the emperor has arranged a marriage early and married his daughter as the daughter of the Zhu family for the crown prince, which completely reassured her.
Tang He, the king of Dong'ou, was a man of extraordinary intelligence and wisdom. He should have been the most likely person to lead them, but he was deposed early and has been fighting in the southwest all year round. Now his ambitions have ceased. He devoted himself to handing over power and returning to his hometown to enjoy his old age.
The king of Changsha, Li Shanchang, was broad-minded and wise in his strategy. He was able to subdue the people and mobilize the troops. He was just like Xiao He. He had a strong desire for power. He should have united his party members to consolidate the power of the prime minister, but he was also married to the Eastern Palace by the noble man and the princess. He was extremely popular. Sent back to his hometown.
The princes below are either as loyal as Duke Ying, or, although they have intentions, they are not limited by the center, making it difficult to unite the nobles from all over, and their intentions are weak.
And these marquises, who are in the local center but have no real power, although they are connected with each other, have difficulty in convincing the masses and have no leader, how can they resist the Sacred Heart.

In his palace, Jin Wang Zhu Ping threw his pen aside bitterly. Jin Jin then vassalized Qin. Isn't this a joke?
His personal eunuch glanced around in panic and then picked up the pen and begged: "Master, you can't do this in the palace. If the Holy One finds out..."
Zhu Xi, who was furious, slapped him on the face. It was extremely loud and crisp. When he took his palm back, it was a little hot and numb. He gritted his teeth and said: "What did I say? I accidentally dropped the pen. I still need you." A slave lesson?"
The corner of the eunuch's mouth was cracked, and a clear palm print appeared. He knelt down and kowtowed in a daze: "Your Highness, please calm down. This slave is talking too much. I beg you to calm down and don't let your body get so angry."
Seeing that he still didn't speak, the eunuch held back the pain and tears, and slapped the words on his face again and again, and his crisp voice was coherent and smooth.
Zhu Ming's face looked much better, but the anger in his heart had not diminished at all. He originally thought that his elder brother had good intentions in giving him the title of Jin, but now it seems that it is really an insult.
His father was extremely partial and had to discuss everything with the prince first. It was impossible for the eldest brother not to know where the vassal land assigned to him by his father was, but he was still afraid that he would threaten his throne, so he avoided the title of King of Qin.
My father is the same. He actually follows the wishes of his eldest brother. He is usually very partial, but here he is unwilling to inconvenience his eldest son. Am I not your son?
