The next day.
Early morning.
Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Yunzhen sat at the top overlooking the entire court.
This morning meeting was different from the past.
In the past, he was always acting as a chess piece and as a chess player, always in the middle of the game.
But this time, he was the one making the arrangements, watching the two forces chosen by him fight with each other.
Unknowingly, he stood at the top of the Ming Dynasty's power, overlooking the battles between feudal lords that he originally did not dare to face directly.
I still remember it was for self-protection.
He had to recommend King Yan as the crown prince, but now he can make King Yan a pawn!
Who could have thought of this at the beginning?
As his identity and status changed, Zhu Yunzhen became more and more confident to deal with all changes, and he was even more confident to do what he wanted to do.
From today on, he is no longer anyone’s pawn!
But the chess player who overlooks everyone and controls everyone!
The Ming Dynasty, the world, the rivers and mountains, all bear the responsibility!
He, Zhu Yunzhen, picked him up on one shoulder!
There is no one else to rely on, because he is the biggest supporter!
Zhu Yunxun's mentality has changed after the incident between Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxi, and he has initially acquired the temperament that an emperor should have!
Who else in the world is so domineering!
The ministers and officials in the Fengtian Palace could increasingly feel the majesty that Zhu Yunzhen exuded all the time.
His attitude towards Zhu Yunxuan became more and more respectful.
And there will be no contempt for him because of his age.
But today, everyone's focus is still on King Yan and King Qi who are at the front of the hundred officials.
Both of these two men were born as kings of Monan Sai, with outstanding military skills and dignity.
They are not easy to mess with!
Now these two are about to collide, which is truly a big event among big things!
"If there is something to do, start the court, if there is nothing to do, leave the court~"
The palace man's sharp voice came.
The morning dynasty kicked off, and everyone's eyes were focused on King Yan and King Qi.
Only the old god Zhu Yunzhen was there, looking down at the ministers.
He even had time to think about the minister's appearance.
Because we knew that today was the duel between King Yan and King Qi, no ministers came to report today.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
But soon.
Zhu Di took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Great Sun, I have something to report!"
And took out a memorial from his hand.
"Oh?" Zhu Yunzhen said as if he didn't know, "What does Fourth Uncle want to report?"
"You and I are all family, but it doesn't matter."
The attitude is very gentle.
A hint of disdain flashed at the corner of King Qi's mouth, which Zhu Yunxuan could clearly see.
I'm afraid his seventh uncle wasn't ridiculing him from the bottom of his heart.
But Zhu Yunxuan didn't care. Although Qi King Zhu Shu was somewhat capable, he was too arrogant and hated these formalities.
Likes to be straightforward.
I don’t like to listen to advice.
This kind of character is actually a good thing for him.
As long as you look in the right direction, you can easily control his seventh uncle!
With Zhu Yunzhen's permission, King Yan Zhu Di continued: "I want to report to King Zhu Shu of Qi!"
"We have the important responsibility of redeeming the land, but we conceal our selfish motives, collude with officials, and take advantage of our power to embezzle the land redemption silver and keep it as our own!"
"And unite with the big families, work together, and seize the opportunity to annex the land!"
"Trouble the people of Ming Dynasty!"
"This crime, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, should be punished!"
King Yan Zhu Di said angrily.
The target is pointed at King Qi!
He showed no mercy at all and exposed everything that King Qi had done!
The officials were immediately in an uproar!
They knew that King Qi was playing a big game this time, but they didn't expect that it would be so big!
Annexing land is the most taboo thing in all dynasties!
And Lao Zhu is the founding king of the country. To put it nicely, it is called starting with a bowl, but to put it worse, it means that he has a serious mud-legged background!
What I hate the most is annexing land and leaving the poor with no place to stand!
But now Qi King Zhu Shu actually dares to risk the disapproval of the world and help aristocratic families annex land!
This is really unscrupulous!
How audacious!
Zhu Yunxuan sat above and carefully observed the expressions of the officials. Most of them were surprised.
It seemed that there were not more people in the court who were colluding with King Qi than he imagined.
Most people still don't know what King Qi did.
In other words, I only knew that King Qi dared to be greedy for money, but I didn't expect that King Qi would dare to annex land.
However, the play still has to go on.
"What?" Zhu Yunzhen deliberately pretended to be shocked.
Very surprised!
Then it turned into rage in an instant, and the switch was natural and smooth.
If King Yan didn't know the inside story.
I was afraid that Zhu Yunxu would really be deceived, thinking that he really didn't know what King Qi was doing.
Xu'er has made progress again... Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He is truly a born emperor!
"Uncle Qi, is this really happening?!"
Zhu Yunzhen asked King Qi.
"The reason I entrust you with such an important matter of redeeming my land is because you are my seventh uncle!"
"I trust you!"
Zhu Yunzhen looked distressed.
"How could you do this!"
As for Zhu Yunzhen's performance, no one can find anything wrong with it. It completely showed the feeling of being betrayed by a trusted person.
It was Lao Zhu who knew about this.
There is no way to be dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxuan.
Instead, I have to feel sorry for him!
All the ministers and officials stood up one by one and advised Zhu Yunzhen not to be sad.
First figure out what's going on.
Keep the situation firmly in your hands.
King Qi unknowingly fell into a disadvantage, and he couldn't even figure out what was going on.
This is where justice lies!
As long as you grasp the great righteousness and combine it with power, you will be able to achieve any disadvantage!
This is the secret that Zhu Yunxuan realized.
"There is no such thing!" At this point, King Qi could only deny it.
Refuse to admit it!
"Fourth brother, you can't accuse me unjustly. You said that I embezzled money and annexed fields. Do you have any evidence?"
"Don't make false accusations!"
Although King Qi was passive, he also tried to fight back.
It's just that his style of doing things is too arrogant. Zhu Di has been looking for evidence for several days, and now he can say that he has a lot of evidence!
King Zhu Di of Yan refused to acknowledge King Qi's death.
Couldn't help but snort coldly.
Said: "Seventh brother, I have a lot of evidence of your crimes here."
"The witnesses and evidence are all there!"
"I advise you to admit it, lest you lose face when the evidence comes up!"
But King Qi planned to fight to the end from the beginning.
How could he admit it?
King Qi also calmed down at this time.
He confidently said: "Fourth brother, if I say I haven't done it, I just haven't done it!"
"How can you be afraid?"
Zhu Yunzhen looked at King Qi who was not afraid at all, and understood in his heart that King Qi acted extremely arrogantly from the beginning, without any cover-up.
Obviously not afraid of them finding out.
These days, according to Jiang Wei's intelligence, King Qi has been trying to win over many vassal kings.
There are also some courtiers, local officials and aristocratic families.
Obviously, they want to build a huge community of interests based on the land redemption and protect him!
"It seems that my decision is indeed correct..." Zhu Yunzhen thought silently in his heart.
He has always had an idea in his mind to take the fields back from everyone and have them distributed uniformly by the state.
This can truly be achieved, and everyone in the world will have a field to farm.
It can also further liberate productivity and give birth to capitalists.
But this plan not only requires a lot of money, but also requires strict implementation, otherwise it will easily turn the original good policy into a bad one.
After all, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below!
As long as it is profitable, it is not surprising that the people below will do anything!
That's why Zhu Yunzhen deliberately let it go.
Use this land redemption to build a nest and catch a group of big fish!
From then on, it was just a group of small fish and shrimps, unable to change the world.
Only in this way can the land harvesting matter be carried forward...
"In that case, please ask your fourth uncle to bring in witnesses and evidence."
"I also ask everyone present to be witnesses. If I really misunderstood Uncle Qi, I might as well give Uncle Qi justice."
Zhu Yunzhen pushed the boat along with the current.
King Qi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end nothing could be said.
Obviously, deep down in his heart, King Qi probably did not want these evidence to appear.
After all... they really have no scruples in doing things.
It can be said that there are a lot of evidence...
Zhu Yunxuan watched King Qi's expression change constantly, and finally turned into firmness, and he had a general understanding in his heart.
It seems that King Qi is planning to fight to the end this time!
I just don’t know...how huge the community of interests behind him is.
Zhu Yunxuan was very curious!
At the same time, I have been waiting for a long time! After casting the net for so long, it’s time to harvest!
"Pass the human evidence! Pass the physical evidence!"
Soon, each piece of letter was brought up, along with a group of miscellaneous witnesses.
Among them were oppressed people.
He also teamed up with the village elders from the government.
There are even county magistrates and even servants from Prince Qi’s mansion!
One piece of physical evidence and one sentence of witness testimony were presented in the court, allowing the officials and officials to understand more about the truth and the whole story.
Zhu Yunzhen could clearly feel it.
Many ministers have already leaned towards King Yan.
He was deeply disgusted by what King Qi had done.
But there are also many ministers who don't care much and are still waiting and watching.
King Qi showed no expression at all, and did not take the personal and material evidence of King Yan seriously from beginning to end.
Obviously, he is confident!
"King Qi!" Zhu Di attacked again and scolded: "There are all the witnesses and physical evidence! Do you still dare to quibble?!"
"Great grandson!"
"I think King Qi must be punished severely!"
But just when Zhu Di asked Zhu Yunxian for an order.
However, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu, Chu Wang Zhu Zhen, and Xiang Wang Zhu Zhen all stood up together!
Many ministers also stood up at the same time!
They all said in unison: "I would also like to ask the great grandson Mingjian. This is all the words of King Yan's family and is one-sided!"
"It's really unbelievable!"
The momentum was so great that almost one-third of the ministers and officials stood up!
Even people from the Ministry of Housing and Industry came forward.
Testify for King Qi!
Zhu Yunzhen smiled happily when he saw these people finally couldn't help but jump out.
"oh?"
Zhu Yunxuan chuckled and said, "The words of King Yan are not trustworthy."
"Then I don't know if I can believe what the People's Supervision Department says?"
"Where is Yang Shiqi?!"
Zhu Yunzhen's expression changed and his face became solemn.
It's time to close the net...it's time!
