"Prince Ning, take the order."
Cao Jixiang, who was carrying the imperial edict, looked serious.
Zhu Mianpei didn't seem to hear, just kneeling like this.
"Prince Ning, do you want to disobey the edict and disrespect it? If you do, your Majesty will order you to remove your title, demote you to a commoner, and escort him to Fengyang Mansion to guard the mausoleum."
Zhu Mianpei raised his head with an angry look on his face.
"What big mistake did I make to deserve such humiliation? This must be because Yu Qian deceived Your Majesty and issued an imperial decree. I did not believe it and did not accept it."
"Prince Ning, ask again, do you accept the order?" Cao Jixiang ignored Zhu Dianpei's words and asked him directly whether he accepted the order.
This imperial edict was written by Xu Youzhen, and your Majesty has also seen it.
Yu Qian, Li Xian and others have also seen it. Although they all think it is a bit heavy, His Majesty has already agreed. At the moment, we can only urge the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War to issue a military message to Nanchang Mansion so that it can respond well.
At that time, Cao Jixiang was also present in the Qianqing Palace.
After Cao Jixiang, Jin Yiwei and others entered Prince Ning's Mansion, groups of soldiers appeared and surrounded Prince Ning's Mansion.
If it is just to follow the decree, but if it is to resist the decree and disrespect the decree, we will directly implement the emperor's oral instructions and depose the vassal and take the king.
When the people nearby saw so many soldiers surrounding Prince Ning's Mansion, they ran away one after another. Someone from the capital was going to punish Prince Ning for his oppression of the people in urban and rural areas.
King Kuning has been in Nanchang for a long time.
Of course, this is not the evil done by Ning Wang Zhu Dianpei, but the result of the dog legs in the mansion.
In the local area, who can override the national law are the vassal kings all over the place, the seven-rank officials of the prime minister's disciples, not to mention the people in the royal palace.
…………
Does Zhu Mianpei dare to resist the decree and disrespect it?
Don't dare.
He didn't have the strength to rebel, but he accepted the imperial edict so cowardly, how could he be serving Prince Ning.
"If I want to enter the capital, I must listen to His Majesty's own words, otherwise I won't believe it."
"You are not allowed to enter the capital without an edict. Prince Ning, hurry up and accept the edict. This is the last time."
"Your Majesty, if you have any grievances, I will report it to His Majesty after receiving the order. Now accept the order, accept the order." Zhao Jier, who was kneeling behind, said with a sad face.
If Prince Ning doesn't accept the order, he might really be demoted to a commoner.
At this time, Han Yong didn't speak anymore.
Being imprisoned in the palace is already the biggest punishment for the vassal king.
Zhu Mianpei's head was covered, and he knew he had no choice.
At this moment, Zhu Mianpei finally understood.
The fifth generation grandson of Emperor Taizu, a member of the imperial family, as long as you are not sitting in that position, you are just eating fish and meat.
He suddenly had Zhu Di's intention of fengtian and appeasement.
But after this idea appeared, Zhu Mianpei broke out in a cold sweat.
Now is not the time for Jianwen Dynasty.
The imperial court controlled all the armies of the Ming Dynasty, and it did not have a single soldier in its hands. Except for the dozens of sets of armor registered by the imperial court in the mansion, there was nothing else.
And he is different from Zhu Di, who failed in Fengtian Jingnan.
He has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he does not know the military skills.
Fengtian Jingnan is seeking death.
Zhu Mianpei sighed deeply. He had no choice but to lower his proud head and raise his hands.
"Prince Ning receives His Majesty's imperial edict."
After seeing King Ning accept the order, Cao Jixiang felt relieved, but of course he was also a little disappointed.
People are full of contradictions. If King Ning did not accept the order, he would naturally carry out His Majesty's orders and detain King Ning. However, if he did so, His Majesty's reputation would definitely be affected. But think about it from another angle, if he took the initiative to abolish the Ning Wangfan, then I will have more weight in front of His Majesty, and I am also the first eunuch in the Ming Dynasty to abolish Wangfan...
The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were often ambitious...
Cao Jixiang placed the imperial edict in Prince Ning's hand, and then quickly changed his face. With a spring breeze smile on his face, he enthusiastically supported Prince Ning's arm, trying to lift him up, but Prince Ning was stopped by him. Throw it away.
"Go away, don't waste your time here. You are the same as Yu Qian and others." Zhu Mianpei stood up. "I will send a letter to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to summon me to the capital and accuse you of villains."
"Well, it depends on what Your Majesty means, but Prince Ning, the imperial edict has been issued, and the matter of confinement is also settled. If there is no Your Majesty's edict, and the government finds you leaving the palace privately, you are disobeying the edict and disrespecting it immediately. Eliminate the prince." Cao Jixiang said with a smile.
The feudal king seems to be extremely noble, but he is also full of helplessness.
Because they also have the right to inherit from the emperor, these vassal kings are not allowed to have a trace of power in their hands. They cannot obtain fame or serve as officials or generals. They are like birds raised in a golden cage and can only look at each other. The sky reaches the edge, but you can't fly...
They are the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao, with the blood of heroes flowing in their bodies. However, during their long-term confinement, they slowly forgot the glory of their ancestors and Zhu Yuanzhang's absolute loyalty and enthusiasm for the people when he founded the Ming Dynasty. …
After Cao Jixiang, Han Yong and others left, Zhu Mianpei was furious in the room, with a middle-aged scholar-looking man kneeling below.
"Didn't you tell me that the imperial court didn't dare to ask? What's going on? Now that I'm imprisoned, the next step is for me to be escorted to the capital, and the next step is to go to Fengyang to guard the ancestral mausoleum. You can't succeed but fail. There's more to do..." As he spoke, Zhu Dianpei kicked the scholar. The scholar didn't dare to hide and was kicked to the ground. Then he quickly got up and knelt down again.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Majesty is young. Logically speaking, the imperial court should not issue a decree to reprimand, otherwise the princes of the world will think that your Majesty has been deceived. As long as there is no punishment from the imperial court, Prince Ning's Mansion can request an order to restore the army. This process is There is nothing wrong, Your Highness..."
"What I am listening to now is not your explanation. What I am listening to is how to deal with the predicament at hand." Zhu Mianpei shouted.
He was a descendant of Taizu, and he lowered his proud head in front of foreign ministers and eunuchs. When did he suffer such a great shame and humiliation...
The scholar thought again and again: "Your Highness, you and His Majesty are family members. He has no reason to distrust you. I heard that Your Majesty likes porcelain. Your Highness might as well give in to him and send someone to deliver it with a memorial." Let me express my grievances and get rid of the penalty of imprisonment first."
After Zhu Mianpei heard this, he sighed silently. He suddenly thought of the people in Guan City and the countryside, and asked: "If those people honestly dedicated their land to the king, would their lives be easier?"
Ning Wangfan, the fifth generation grandson of Emperor Taizu, a member of the imperial family and a noble family, did not care about the suffering of the people, oppressed the people, occupied fertile land, shocked the government and the public, and was indignant to both people and gods. It was a shame for the clan.
He couldn't let go of the evaluation of him in the imperial edict.
Humans and gods are indignant, it is a shame for the clan.
His arrogance comes from the blood flowing in his body. He is the fifth generation grandson of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. He should be a hero, but at this time, he has become the anger of both humans and gods. Instead, he has become the shame of the clan, but he has become an unethical vassal king. , and even became unworthy descendants.
This made Zhu Mianpei even more uncomfortable than the subsequent punishment.
This is also his bottom line.
"Your Highness, if those people follow you, Prince Ning's Mansion will never treat them badly..."
"My king, you must listen to the truth. Do you understand the truth? If the common people knew that they could live a good life by following His Highness Prince Ning, why were they so resistant? Why did Han Yong get involved? What would the court order to reprimand..." Zhu Mianpei His face was red, and his eyes looking at the scholar were filled with murderous intent.
The scholar also felt Zhu Dianpei's gaze, and immediately said: "Your Highness, your Majesty, to be honest, selling land is the last resort for people to survive. If they become servants of Prince Ning's Mansion, those villains who manage the land will There will be opportunities for exploitation and deprivation, and their lives will be even more difficult.”
Zhu Mianpei laughed loudly: "Come on, come on."
Four soldiers entered the room.
"Give this guy who is deceiving the public with his monstrous words to me, and I will beat him to death with a stick."
"Yes." With that said, the four soldiers stepped forward and dragged the scholar out.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, you are tempted, you cannot kill the villain..."
Zhu Mianpei walked to the wooden chair and sat down weakly.
"Your Highness..." Zhao Jier looked worried.
"Needless to say, I know that I cannot submit memorials or voice my grievances. The scholar can only disappear, otherwise I will not be saved." After Zhu Mianpei finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
And Zhao Jier also sighed heavily...
Which dragon's son or grandson doesn't have the ambition to dominate the world.
Prince Ning's branch had a lot to do with Emperor Taizong, and his thoughts were even more serious.
In this world, there is always a shortage of careerists who think they are smart. Some of them are famous and have mastered the art of slaying dragons, but many more people have left no trace and disappeared with their ambitions. In the long river of history, there has never been a ripple...
