Zhu Gongxi is still not mature enough and talks too much.
This made Xu Youzhen somewhat reluctant to come to power. The emperor's decree was to show off his face and be tough, but this would not be of any benefit to Zhu Gongxi or even the Prince of Qin's palace.
The reason why Zhu Gongxi is not afraid at all is because if the imperial court today is going to be tough on the palace of Prince Qin, the most powerful vassal in the world, then it will also be tough on the thirty princes' palaces in each province across the country.
The current clans and vassals do not have the strength to unite in rebellion, but if the court and the emperor really use constant pressure to force more than 30 princes across the country to compromise on the new tax system, Zhu Jianshen will also be left alienated from the clan and relatives and violate his ancestors. Legal offenses.
However, Zhu Gongxi is a young man, and he is still an energetic young man. When facing Xu Youzhen, who is like an old fox, he exposed his trump card in just a few words.
Although he seems to have the upper hand now, it is all false.
At this time, Xu Youzhen also recovered.
He looked at the already angry His Highness King Qin and showed his signature treacherous smile.
Zhu Gongxi looked at Xu Youzhen's smile and was not afraid at all. In his opinion, apart from the normal gifts, the Qin Palace did not give the emperor any other rewards, and the arrogant and luxurious life was self-sufficient. Of course, that In Zhu Gongxi's opinion, normal gifts were not given by His Majesty the present day, but by the great emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
If you don't take anything from others, of course you don't have to be so obedient.
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing at you. His Highness King Qin is really young. He dares to say anything. Do you know that based on what you just said, I can interfere with you?"
"King ginseng, ginseng my king, what?" Zhu Gongxi sneered coldly.
"The King of Qin is disrespectful, despises the court, despises His Majesty, and speaks shamelessly."
After listening to Xu Youzhen's words, Zhu Gongxi laughed loudly, and his heart was full of disdain.
Good guy, you made me laugh.
If you say yes, that's right.
The Ming Dynasty belongs to our Zhu family, not to foreign ministers like you.
If you really want to depose the King of Qin on this crime, wouldn't it make the whole world laugh out loud?
Even if he did say these words just now, in the eyes of outsiders, this means that the court does not regard King Qin as solid food. There is no reason to make up a random one and get rid of it.
"In this king's opinion, there is no excuse for wanting to inflict crimes. You Xu Youzhen wants to be the guilty minister of the Ming Dynasty, but it does not mean that His Majesty the Emperor can ignore the ancestral family law and depose the King of Qin at will."
"First, King Ning was deposed and the common people of Ning were killed. Then King Qin and his vassal were deposed and King Qin was killed. All the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty can understand something from this. Isn't this the fact that His Majesty the Emperor does not tolerate his relatives and ignores the Emperor's Ming Dynasty? Did you follow the instructions from your ancestors?”
"Even if they understand something, they don't have the ability to do anything. But history is as sharp as a knife, and it still hurts. No matter how great your Majesty is today, he can't cover up this stain."
When Zhu Gongxi spoke, he was full of confidence, and his tone was full of contempt for Xu Youzhen.
If the Palace of the Prince of Qin is abolished, all the vassal kings will be in danger, and it may even cause chaos in the clan. The ministers in the court know about the priorities, and the emperor also knows about the priorities.
So Zhu Gongxi was not afraid at all.
This is what many elders told him.
In other words, as long as the Prince of Qin's palace is not guilty of treason, even if the current emperor is forced to step down and lose face, there is nothing he can do against the Prince of Qin and his family.
These words Zhu Gongxi said revealed all his trump cards.
Of course, if this were an emperor who fully accepted Confucian education, he would attach great importance to what happened after his death and would definitely be wary of the enemy. However, Zhu Jianshen was different. He believed that Confucian education could only teach good people on paper, but it would definitely not teach a good person. Good emperor.
The clan issue must be reformed slowly, starting with the new tax system.
Menda, who was ready to go hard, was waiting outside. After Xu Youzhen went out, Menda would come over and ask. If he got a positive answer from Xu Youzhen that they couldn't reach an agreement, he would rush in directly with the Jin Yiwei and talk to His Highness the King of Qin face to face. Have a good talk.
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor lost face, and the King of Qin and his family lost their foundation.
"Yes, what His Highness the King of Qin said is that the King of Qin is the first vassal in the world personally appointed by Emperor Taizu Gao. Of course, the court will not abolish it. But the King of Qin himself does not understand etiquette, is arrogant, and despises His Majesty. The court has every reason to replace him. A King of Qin is now legal, reasonable, and reasonable."
After listening to Xu Youzhen's words, Zhu Gongxi's face became a little dull.
Don’t depose the King of Qin, replace him with someone else.
You can still play like this.
This is His Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty. How can he be so playful?
Xu Youzhen is fooling me, absolutely.
In other words, if you are disobedient, the court will directly arrange for an obedient one. Isn't this a joke?
Xu Youzhen saw a little panic on Zhu Gongxi's face, and felt quite satisfied. Then she calmly picked up the tea and took a sip, and then said slowly: "I believe that if the court wants to replace the King of Qin, the King of Qin will be replaced." Many princes and princes will be interested in it, and of course, it will not have the slightest impact on the sects and vassals in the world."
"Your Highness, Prince of Qin, please rest assured that the Palace of Prince Qin will not be left unattended or uninhabited. The imperial court will send people to escort you to Fengyang, the central capital, to guard the mausoleum. If you step out of the palace, I will leave behind." His Highness the new King of Qin will be welcomed into the palace immediately. His Highness the King of Qin will definitely not make such arrogant remarks when the time comes. After you go to Fengyang, you will also be able to see many relatives. I think you won't be lonely when you come."
"You, what are you talking nonsense? The family law of the ancestors is child's play. If you want someone else to be the King of Qin, you can be the King of Qin. But you still need..." At this point, Zhu Gongxi was completely stunned.
What he didn't say was that the Emperor's consent was still needed.
This, this is simply a hooliganism. These rules can be changed if you want. It makes us feel very insecure.
Xu Youzhen saw that Zhu Gongxi was hesitating and hesitating to speak. Knowing that his goal had been achieved, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands towards Zhu Gongxi and said: "Your Highness, King Qin, I will leave first, but I will We should be able to meet His Highness King Qin soon."
"What, what do you mean?"
"Because I thought it was too late to meet His Highness the King of Qin and we felt like old friends at first sight. After the court's decree came down, I personally escorted His Highness the King of Qin to Fengyang, the central capital. On the way, I had a long talk with His Highness the King of Qin."
"Farewell." After saying this, Xu Youzhen turned around and left.
After Xu Youzhen turned around, Zhu Gongxi could no longer calm down.
He quickly stood up: "Slow, slow, Xu Du Censor." After saying that, Zhu Gongxi ran forward two steps and grabbed Xu Youzhen's sleeve.
"Censor of Xudu, I am young and some of the things I said were unintentional. You must never submit a memorial to impeach me, and you must never persuade His Majesty to change to King Qin."
"The imperial court is very busy, and His Majesty also has many things to deal with every day. Isn't it the new tax system? Let's have a good talk. Nothing can be done without negotiation."
Zhu Gongxi was anxious.
But when it comes to things like this, everyone is in a hurry.
Originally, His Highness the King of Qin, if you disagree with me, I will let you return to your old career, farming the land and guarding the tomb.
From a noble person with no worries about food and clothing to a commoner who only cares about people's looks, this change of identity is too big.
Of course, whether Xu Youzhen was threatening or not was meaningless to Zhu Gongxi.
Because he can't take risks, and he doesn't dare to take risks. People are selfish. If they don't do it themselves, if someone else becomes the King of Qin, they will still have to do it. Since they all have to do it, why should they pay for themselves and let others do it? Go do it.
Xu Youzhen turned around and looked at Zhu Gongxi.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, this is what you said. You can't be angry no matter what I say next. His Highness King Qin was angry just now."
"I am wrong. I am young and ignorant. Censor of Xudu, please sit down, please sit down."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin's voice is loud and majestic. I really don't dare to sit down."
The smile on Zhu Gongxi's face has never faded, even if Xu Youzhen is clearly making fun of himself now.
"Censor of Xudu, I admit that I was gambling a little bit just now. My voice was indeed a little louder and a little arrogant. Alas, I am still young and don't know how to be wise... Ah, bah, I am still young and don't know how high the sky is. , please sit down first and talk slowly, I will definitely listen to you."
