Opinion

Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were naturally extremely disappointed with what Zhu Gui had done. Zhu Gui's behavior made people feel that the sky was high and the emperor was far away. He was greedy for money, cruel and unrepentant, but he really needed to be punished.

Sometimes, I want to push it all away.

Zhu Yunyong was not happy and just said to Lao Zhu, "We also want to investigate the people below. Those who are in front of Uncle Thirteen will be severely punished if they are guilty. If those people in the guardhouse are involved, we will not

Don't be soft. Local officials, I'll let them deal with it when we get back. We don't think those individuals are clean."

Lao Zhu is absolutely satisfied with Zhu Yunyong's statement and handling method. This is also Lao Zhu's style.

He is kinder to his own family, but Lao Zhu will not be merciful to outsiders. In Lao Zhu's view, his son naturally made a mistake, but anyone who led his son bad must not be forgiven, and they all need to be punished.

severely punished.

Those evil servants and evil slaves should naturally be killed. Those who, in order to please Zhu Gui's local civil and military officials, regard the court's laws as nothing, these people will naturally be severely punished, and none of these people can be let go.

Pass.

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Yunyong and asked, "What is your thirteenth uncle doing back home?"

"Let the thirteenth uncle guard the imperial mausoleum for a period of time for my great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother." Zhu Yunyong said, giving his own thoughts, "It is the imperial hometown after all. It is difficult for the emperor to start a business. The thirteenth uncle has also gone back before. This

Once, we planned to let the emperor's uncle go back and open a piece of land, and no one else was allowed to help."

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay! Let these bastards know that this fine food and clothing is hard-earned!"

Looking at the tablet of Queen Ma, Zhu Yunyong said, "Although there are constant offerings in Fengxian Hall, I just want to say that our ancestors also thought about their descendants. From now on, the grain in Fengxian Hall will be the descendants of our clan.

It was planted."

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, looked at Zhu Gui and said, "We are afraid that our ancestors will not be willing to eat the food provided by these bastards! These bastards have insulted our ancestors, and we will all be embarrassed!"

"Father, please have mercy!" Zhu Gui cried with snot and tears. She was really scared, "My dear, my dear, I was just deceived!"

Lao Zhu kicked Zhu Gui away angrily. Lao Zhu had many successful sons, but also many incompetent children. And this Zhu Gui was obviously one of the representatives of the incompetent ones, which made Lao Zhu feel extremely disappointed.

It's obvious that this bastard has no sense. If he hadn't come from a royal family, he would have starved to death even begging for food!

This person has no sense at all. If he is really severely punished, he will not just be allowed to farm. If he is really demoted to a commoner, he will really be imprisoned in Fengyang High Wall. That is the real punishment for him.

The severe punishment imposed by a clan is a punishment that is almost impossible to recover from.

Zhu Yunyong was not polite and continued, "This time, my grandson plans to move all the Prince Dai's Mansion back. It is no longer suitable for the Thirteenth Uncle's family to go to Datong Mansion in the future."

Lao Zhu did not object at this time, probably because he knew that Zhu Yunyong had always disliked the vassal king. Moreover, because of Zhu Gui's actions, Lao Zhu had no face to defend his son.

Zhu Gui felt that he was finished, completely finished, and now he had no choice but to turn around. Now he really knew that he regretted it.

Zhu Yunyong looked at Zhu Gui and said seriously, "Uncle Thirteen, we are your nephew, but we are also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. There are some things that we do to Uncle Thirteen, and we don't want to make Grandpa Huang feel uncomfortable. Just remember it.

, only this time, after all, we are the emperor, and the people are also our subjects!"

Zhu Gui actually wanted to refute. He was an uncle. How could he be scolded and taught by his nephew like this? But now, he did not dare to say anything more, even if he was a favored prince.

But Zhu Gui also knew very well that his status as a prince was far inferior to that of his grandson.

Lao Zhu waved his hand and said, "Kneel here, or kneel here if we don't give an order! In two days, we will have someone take you back to your hometown!"

After Lao Zhu said this, he ignored the crying Zhu Gui. When Lao Zhu turned around and left, Zhu Yunyong naturally followed him quickly and was really too lazy to talk to Zhu Gui.

Holding Lao Zhu's arm, Zhu Yunyong said, "What Uncle Thirteen did this time will not surprise my grandson."

Lao Zhu sighed, why didn't he know this truth, "We are from a poor family, and they have never endured hardship. Not to mention them, there are those from the martial arts family, even those who conquered the world with us.

Many people forget their roots when they get rich."

"Yes, there are indeed not many people who become arrogant and domineering when they are rich." Zhu Yunyong smiled bitterly and felt helpless, "This matter is also a matter of people's hearts. I think not only Uncle Thirteen, but everyone can't solve it. Uncle Thirteen is here

In Datong Mansion, no one can really control him."

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and because of their special status, no one can really care about them. Furthermore, although it is a fiefdom, it does not need to be governed, so there is no need to worry about public resentment boiling over.

Hearing what Zhu Yunyong said, Lao Zhu didn't know what to say, probably because he naturally knew this truth.

"What my grandson said before was not casual. We are planning to open a field in our hometown." Zhu Yunyong opened his mouth and said to Lao Zhu, "Although some clans may not repent if we plant a field. But we feel that it is more or less a

lesson."

Lao Zhu naturally would not have any objections to such a proposal. He himself opened a field in the palace and cultivated it, and also asked his useless descendants to help. Opening a field in his hometown,

Zhu seems to be right.

Although such things are a bit superficial, they are not bad things. Let the clan of the Ming Dynasty not completely forget their roots.

Zhu Yunyong continued, "This time, at the end of the year, my grandson will ask the vassal kings from all over the country to come back. At that time, I hope that the emperor will do his best and stop going to the vassal areas after he comes back."

Lao Zhu frowned, as if he lacked confidence, "Let us kill them directly? That is not good, although we have not asked them to become a vassal for several years. But now that we have killed them, they will definitely make trouble.

.”

"It's because the imperial uncles want to make trouble, so we can only ask the emperor to come forward." Zhu Yunyong was also a bachelor, and said straightforwardly, "Nowadays, there are still some imperial uncles who want to secede from the vassal. This is more or less the case.

We don’t worry about equality but worry about scarcity.”

The truth is probably true. Even if it is such a truth, some princes in the Ming Dynasty have already joined the vassal state. Although the court has taken back a few, there are still a few princes who have joined the vassal state outside.

This needs to be balanced. Since there is such a policy, it would be better to have some continuity.

Although Zhu Yunyong can also have some patience, when the vassal kings who are vassal outside make mistakes, he can justifiably 'cut down the vassal', which seems to be a good choice.

But if it really happens, it will probably take a lot of time. Furthermore, once it really reaches that level, the reduction of vassals will not only simply take back the fiefdoms, but also inevitably punish some vassal kings. Then

This is no small matter.

Lao Zhu was a little unhappy and a little disgusted, "You can't wait until we kick our legs before doing these things. Is it possible that we can still refuse to agree?"

"What Grandpa Huang said is a bit too much. If we cut off the vassalage at that time, it would be no small matter." Zhu Yunyong said to Lao Zhu very simply, "Just like Uncle Thirteenth, if we cut down the vassalage at that time, it would be a big deal."

The worst that Third Uncle can do is to be demoted to a commoner."

At this time, Lao Zhu also fell silent. He probably knew that what Zhu Yunyong said was quite reasonable. Zhu Gui's actions depended on how the emperor had declined. Naturally, he could legitimately cut down the vassal and ask for guilt, or he could be superior.

Raise it and lower it gently.

The silent Lao Zhu stopped talking. The main reason is that as the emperor, Lao Zhu can naturally understand some of Zhu Yunyong's thoughts.

In fact, Lao Zhu can also understand some of Zhu Yunyong's difficulties. Although Zhu Yunyong's prestige is not small, he is still a junior. If Zhu Biao wants to reduce the vassal status, there is no need to worry about any objections. He can just cut the vassal status directly.

However, Zhu Yunyong's situation was slightly worse. There must have been some rumors outside, and maybe the emperor's reputation for treating the clan harshly had spread. This is very possible.

Lao Zhu was no longer silent and could only say, "In this case, we really have to figure this out while we are still alive. There are some things that we did not expect."

For example, Da Zhu died young, for example, the Wuxun Group was weakened relatively smoothly, and Zhu Yunyong's performance after ascending the throne exceeded some of Lao Zhu's expectations, etc.

All of this is somewhat beyond Lao Zhu's expectations, so the original plan to reduce the vassalage can indeed be implemented, whether it is Lao Zhu or not.

After all, regarding the vassal affairs, this was formulated by Lao Zhu himself. Now, naturally it is Lao Zhu who will solve this problem himself. His intervention is obviously the most suitable, and I don't know how more suitable it is than Zhu Yunyong.

After a moment of silence, Lao Zhu said, "Ying'er, we think that even if we are no longer here, you should show some kindness to the clan, even if you break the bones and connect the tendons."

Seeing Zhu Yunyong nodding, Lao Zhu was very pleased. He didn't feel that Zhu Yunyong was perfunctory with him.

But suddenly, Lao Zhu felt uneasy again, "Don't be too soft-hearted. You are the emperor after all, and you have to consider the people of the world. Some of your uncles are indeed incompetent."

Although he cares about his sons, Lao Zhu is also worried that his precious grandson will be bullied. It must be reminded that Lao Zhu knows that his grandson is also a person who cares about family ties and is easy to be soft-hearted.

Zhu Yunyong still just smiled and didn't respond. It was good that he knew some things well. Some of his decisions were not so easy to change.
