Chapter 315: Conference of Kings! The Furious Prince of Han, the Prisoner of the Country!
Latest website:
April 15th.
The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
Today is the birthday of the current crown prince.
Therefore, the East Palace Prince's Mansion, which had been dormant for a long time, finally ushered in lively days.
One after another, the vassal kings were invited to come and gave the prince Zhu Gaochi face.
When the maids and guards in the prince's palace saw this, their faces were filled with pride.
The banquet began immediately, and all the vassal kings presented congratulatory gifts, all of which were valuable treasures.
After all, today is the birthday of the current prince. If nothing else happens, he will be the next emperor of tomorrow.
If these clan kings want to live a stable life in the future, they have to look at the prince's face.
Therefore, it is really acceptable to give some heavy gifts at this time to leave a good impression on the prince.
As cups were pushed and cups changed, the banquet atmosphere quickly reached a climax.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice sounded.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han has arrived——"
As the concierge shouted, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.
The prince and the King of Han were at odds, which was well known to everyone in the government and the public.
Moreover, the Prince of Han, who was in charge of the country, only allowed his eagle dog Nie Xing to beat up the grain king Zhu Su at the city gate two days ago, and sent him directly to the imperial edict!
At this moment, when everyone heard that King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty was coming, including the prince, their expressions were not very good.
But there is nothing we can do. People are already here. Is it possible to drive them away?
The prince immediately stood up and welcomed Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty, into the banquet.
It's just that the atmosphere of this banquet is extremely weird compared to before.
Zhu Gaoxu sat down calmly, then scanned the whole place and carefully looked at all the vassal kings.
The elders in front of me, such as Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu, Chu Wang Zhu Zhen, Ning Wang Zhu Quan, Shu Wang Zhu Chun, etc., were all the first vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, and many of them were powerful kings of expulsion barbarians in the world.
It's a pity that all of them, including Prince Ning and Zhu Quan, were turned into Muggles by Zhu Laosi.
Some younger ones, such as King Zhu Zhiwen of Qin, King Zhu Zhaohui of Lu, King Zhu Gui of Dai, King Zhu Chonghuo of Han, etc., are second or even third generation princes.
In fact, you can tell by looking at the names. According to the naming rules formulated by Comrade Zhu Chongba, the first generation is "wood", the second generation is "fire", and the third generation is "earth"... The flow of the five elements symbolizes The Ming Dynasty continues to prosper.
In order to abide by the ancestral precepts of Emperor Taizu Gao, the members of the Ming Dynasty clan really racked their brains, took great pains, and tried every possible way to create characters in order to choose a name. They even created the periodic table of elements.
For example, the last word of King Zhu Chonghuo of Han is not even in the dictionary of future generations!
Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but sigh and carefully looked at the vassal kings in front of him.
Look at these powerful arms, look at the appetite for several bowls of rice in one meal...these are all excellent cannon fodder!
Because Comrade Zhu Chongba had a hard life as a child, and his relatives died of hunger and freezing one after another, he valued his blood relatives very much. Even after he became emperor, he did not forget to give them the best treatment in the world.
In the Ming dynasty, all the officials were enfeoffed but not given land, given nobility but not to the people, paid a salary but did not manage affairs, and could not participate in the four people's industries (that is, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce), and could be hereditary.
To put it bluntly, Comrade Lao Zhu's original intention is to let these clan relatives eat, drink and have fun in peace and not to have undue ambitions.
According to Comrade Lao Zhu's original intention, the imperial court should not only provide a certain amount of salary to the clan members to ensure their normal life, but also be responsible for the weddings and funerals of these clan members, paying a large additional fee.
This also means that the imperial court will spend a lot of money and food to feed these wastes that are waiting to die!
Even by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the central court had been forced to default on clan salaries due to the despairingly large population of clan members. Moreover, some clan members from the last branch of the clan were living in exile because they could not participate in the cause of the four peoples. starve!
However, it is still the Yongle period. The Ming Dynasty has gone through the Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle dynasties, and has not yet divided up a few vassal kings. There is still room for maneuver in everything.
Seeing that everyone had stopped and stared at him with unkind eyes, Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking nonsense and winked at the prince.
When Big Fatty saw this, he immediately understood and ordered people to remove the banquet, singing and dancing, expelled all the idle people, and directly sealed off the entire East Palace Prince's Mansion, leaving only the old Zhu family members present.
Seeing this scene, all the feudal kings were a little frightened.
What's happening here?
Do you want to see me?
The prince and the prince of Han join forces?
What do they want to do?
Zhu Gaoxu looked around, faced the questioning gazes of all the vassal kings, and said coldly: "I believe you all know me, Zhu Gaoxu."
"I have summoned you to the capital this time, firstly, to celebrate the birthday of the Crown Prince, and secondly, to change the vassal system and make a deal with you!"
All the vassal kings: "???"
Zongfan vassal restructuring?
Hiss...how dare you?
A mere prince of the Han Dynasty, who was in charge of the country, still attempted to carry out the vassal restructuring?
Even today, I only dare to let nature take its course and punish fools like Qi King Zhu Su for their misbehavior!
You, Zhu Gaoxu, why?
For a while, the kings were talking a lot, chatting and joking, but they didn't pay attention to Zhu Gaoxu at all.
In the eyes of the first generation of princes, Zhu Gaoxu was just a junior and was not qualified to talk to them.
In the eyes of the second and third generation princes, Zhu Gaoxu was just ordered to supervise the country. He was worse than the crown prince, so why should he listen to his orders?
The greatest confidence of all the vassal kings lies in the fact that they are the sons of the old Zhu family and their status as nobles!
Even if the emperor wants to touch them, he still has to consider whether he will bear the infamy of killing the clan, let alone the mere Han King Zhu Gaoxu in front of him?
You, Zhu Gaoxu, why?
Seeing that all the vassal kings were arrogant and domineering and did not take their own sons into consideration at all, the prince immediately became anxious and was about to give a warning.
However, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand directly, and soon Nie Xing walked in, dragging a person and wailing.
When all the vassal kings saw this man's face clearly, they were stunned and stood on the spot. King Zhu Chun of Shu was so frightened that he stood up suddenly.
This prisoner with scars all over his body turned out to be the Valley King Zhu Su, and he was dragged in like a dead dog at this moment!
It seemed that in Nie Xing's eyes, what he was dragging in his hand was a dead dog, not the prince of Ming Valley or the noble man of Tianhuang of Ming Dynasty!
After the shock, there was anger, overwhelming anger!
"Zhu Gaoxu, you idiot, what do you want to do?"
"Zhu Su is the Prince of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he is guilty, it is not your turn, Zhu Gaoxu, to deal with him!"
"Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor, is the 19th son of Taizu. He even opened the Jinchuan Gate to dedicate the city with great merit. How dare Zhu Zi'an humiliate him like this?"
Old princes such as Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, Chu Wang Zhu Zhen, Ning Wang Zhu Quan and Shu Wang Zhu Chun all spoke out, angrily accusing Zhu Gaoxu of being arrogant, domineering and reckless.
They had no time to think about why the Han prince acted like this.
After all, they are both princes of the Ming Dynasty, and their origins and identities are their greatest reliance!
As a result, now the Valley King Zhu Su is being wantonly humiliated like a dead dog, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net has lost the face of Tianhuang nobles. This is something that no prince of the clan can tolerate!
Even if Zhu Su is guilty, he is still the nineteenth son of Taizu, the son of the old Zhu family, and the prince of the Ming Dynasty!
If we really want to judge crimes, in the whole world, only His Majesty the Emperor has this qualification. Who do you Zhu Gaoxu think you are?
All the vassal kings stood up one after another and glared at Zhu Gaoxu.
They are not doing this for Zhu Su, but for themselves.
If we don't speak up for Zhu Su today, the clan king will be disgraced, and the remaining majesty of being a nobleman of Tianhuang will become a complete joke!
Zhu Gaoxu faced the angry gazes of the kings, stood up expressionlessly, suddenly pulled out Nie Xing's saber, and then chopped it off.
The knife fell from the hand, and the head fell to the ground.
Blood spurted out and splashed all over Prince Han's face.
The kings were like roosters whose necks were strangled, and they were speechless for a moment.
All the anger, at this moment, turned into endless fear.
He, King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, in front of all the kings, actually chopped off Taizu's nineteenth son, King of Valley Zhu Su, with one knife!
Everyone froze on the spot, their faces full of horror, and a disgusting smell of blood rushed to their faces and swept through the entire venue.
Zhu Gaoxu wiped the blood on his face, stretched out his tongue and licked it, and then spit heavily.
"Bah, this blood is so dirty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down again, picked up Zhu Su's dead head, and threw it onto the king's desk with a weird smile.
All the kings were so frightened by this bloody and terrifying scene that they all trembled. King Zhu Chun of Shu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"Now, can we have a nice talk?"
