While the four feudal kings were still hesitating, they were already surrounded. Moreover, the guards who came over were each holding weapons, and they had similar ferocious looks. They wanted to eat some of them.
The bastard Zhu Gaosui shouted loudly, "Guard me, escort me!"
Something's wrong?
He was obviously trying to settle a score with Xu Jingchang, but why did he become the assassin of the king?
We don’t want to kill the king, not at all!
The acting king Zhu Gui was still more flexible in his mind and shouted hurriedly, "Don't get me wrong, we are looking for Xu Jingchang, don't get me wrong!"
Seeing that the wind was going in the wrong direction, Zhu Su also shouted, "We are here to see His Majesty, not for any evil intentions...Xu Jingchang, you are framing us!"
At this time, Xu Jingchang had already run into the main hall, and Zhu Di was sitting upright. Seeing that he was sweating and panting, he couldn't help scolding him: "After all, he is an important minister of the imperial court. He is about to get married. He is not dignified.
In what manner?"
Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I must be an ungrateful minister. The matter is really too big and it has to be like this."
"How big is it? Can you still rebel?"
Xu Jingchang said: "It is true that there is a rebellion. I will impeach Qi King Zhu Su, Dai Wang Zhu Gui, Liao King Zhu Zhi, and Gu King Zhu Su...the four kings came in with the intention of assassinating Your Majesty."
Zhu Di frowned and hummed: "Where are they? Bring them to me!"
Zhu Di frowned and looked at several people, "Is Xu Jingchang right?"
Zhu Di suddenly shouted angrily: "Didn't Huang Kao warn you at the beginning? How did you ever take Huang Kao's words to heart? Now, I'm afraid you don't even take me, the fourth brother, seriously. I can't help you when I'm older.
Not to mention brothers. You are chasing Xu Jingchang today. It may seem like an unintentional act, but in fact it reveals that you have no respect and do not take the country's laws to heart at all. I am really sad to see you like this!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Your Majesty, Xu Jingchang isolates himself from inside and outside and prevents us from facing you. He is a traitor. Your Majesty must trust him."
"Shut up!" Xu Jingchang suddenly shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, I am a close official of the Emperor. If they want to kill me, they are the Qing Emperor's side!"
The King of Qi and others are not fools, especially the King of Qi Zhu Su, who has the biggest temper... He has nothing left, and he has to fall into the hands of Xu Jingchang as a student!
…
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Shu angrily and hummed: "I ask you, do you want to kill Xu Jingchang? Did you say so?"
"Fourth brother! How do you treat your younger brother like this? It's really chilling! You might as well kill my younger brother and let me go see Huang Kao and ask him to make the decision."
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui stood up at the same time, "I am going to report to my father. The sons and ministers can clearly see that several uncles are chasing Duke Ding with arrogance and domineering!"
Zhu Di nodded, "Of course... I walked all the way. Everywhere I passed, I stayed in a common people's home and ate the same food as the common people. When I arrived in Fengyang, I went to visit again and found out that the emperor
The exam was so difficult that I even went to work in the fields. I also encountered a locust plague and helped the victims."
When Zhu Di heard this, his face suddenly changed!
The emperor is sacred and extraordinary... Therefore, if you want to rebel, it is best not to attack the emperor directly, but to say that the emperor has been deceived by his surrounding ministers, so you must clear the emperor's side.
The four princes finally felt that something was wrong. The fourth brother was using the topic as an excuse!
Zhu Di continued to scold: "As the king of the clan, you must set an example and set an example for the world. You must not ruin our Ming Dynasty, and you must not embarrass the emperor!"
At this moment, Xu Jingchang saw it in his eyes and hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, I think that although the actions of the four kings are arrogant and domineering, they are still members of the Ming Dynasty clan, the son of Emperor Taizu, and the closest relatives of His Majesty... I think they are not without medicine.
Can be saved."
Zhu Di rolled his eyelids and said, "You are the one who sued them, and you are the one who begged for mercy. What are your plans?"
"It's still a bit difficult to start your work, but I'm very confident. It would be best if Your Majesty could transfer the salary from the royal palace to me to run a school."
"Xu Jingchang has no good intentions, he framed Zhongliang!"
At this moment, Zhu Di unleashed all his dissatisfaction with the feudal brothers and scolded them, making them all stupid.
King Qi could only kneel down and kowtow, "Fourth Brother, the younger brothers were confused for a moment. Please be kind to Fourth Brother and give them a chance to change their ways. They will definitely change their minds..."
Zhu Di was very emotional, "When I was granted the title of King of Yan, I immediately went to Fengyang. When I was in Fengyang, I had to know the sufferings of the people, the difficulty of starting a business in the imperial examination, and learn how to be a vassal king... At your age...
When I was young, my father loved you so much that I didn't let you suffer. As a result, you acted more and more nonsense. You really forgot what our Zhu family did for three generations! You are so ambitious and bully the people. Ask yourselves, aren't you ashamed?
?”
These four princes are all confused. Do you want them to become all-rounders in civil and military affairs?
do you mean this?
King Zhu Su of Qi said: "It is true, but..."
Xu Jingchang said: "I am really worried that they intend to rebel, but after listening to your Majesty's words, I have learned a lot. Back then, Emperor Taizu asked your Majesty to go to Fengyang to experience the sufferings of the people. Your Majesty benefited a lot, right?"
"say no more."
Zhu Di smiled and nodded, "Xu Jingchang, you are right, I agree...can you run this school?"
No matter how stupid King Qi and others were, they understood what was going on. They were tricked by Xu Jingchang.
"late!"
These four vassal princes all cried. Two nephews, we are a family. We all have the surname Zhu. You can't turn your elbows outward!
"King Qi, I ask you, did you say you wanted to kill Xu Jingchang?"
Zhu Shu was shocked all over and lost all his momentum.
Xu Jingchang immediately said: "My Emperor is a wise man...but I also want to say that after many years, I am afraid that if I go to Fengyang again, I will not be in the same state of mind as before. It seems that Your Majesty should find another way to help the princes choose one."
Only by studying in school and understanding these things can you be a good prince."
Although Zhu Di did not punish the four people for treason against the Qing emperor, his words became more serious and he actually mentioned their misbehavior in the fiefdom.
Zhu Di suddenly stood up and said angrily: "I have always loved you. Huang Kao and Huang brother are gone. I have tried my best to take care of you and sympathize with you... Jianwen cut down the feudal vassal. If I hadn't saved you, I wouldn't have done it.
Do you know how many will survive? I don’t ask you to take the overall situation into consideration and serve the country wholeheartedly, but you can’t be so arrogant and bold!”
When they met Zhu Di, these four people were completely wronged. "Your Majesty, my brother has been bullied. I beg your majesty to make the decision for me!"
The four princes immediately shut up. They were hesitating who should speak first... Xu Jingchang took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, the four princes just shouted that they wanted to kill me. If you don't believe me, you can ask, is this the case?"
Zhu Di walked up to Zhu Shu, reached out and poked his forehead, "Do you know who Duke Dingguo is? He is the Deputy Envoy of Pingzhang, the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei, and the Chief Minister of Zhan's Mansion, the Youngest Prince and the Prince's Taibao...
I have given him the important task of educating the prince. How dare you chase such an important minister around? How dare you do it under my nose. I ask you, those local officials whose status is not as good as Xu Jingchang are not in Peiping.
, stay away from my eyes. Are you beating and scolding at will, taking whatever you want?"
Soon, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui escorted the four princes in from the outside.
"Shut up!" Zhu Di was furious, "What are you talking about?"
As for whether Jun will be eliminated in the end... Just look at Zhu Yunwen and you will know.
Zhu Di frowned. They were arguing so much that Zhu Di couldn't understand. He could only hum: "Please be quiet. I'm not confused yet. Let's talk one by one."
"What on earth do you want to do?" Zhu Di asked the four stinky brothers with thunderous fury.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the most taboo in running a school is empty talk, especially for the children of the clan. They can't just learn the Four Books, Five Classics, Eight-legged Articles... They should prescribe the right medicine and teach the real skills. A vassal king must be proficient in military affairs, able to lead troops, and learn martial arts.
Courses are indispensable. The vassal king also needs to know civil affairs, finance and taxation, criminal names, major engineering, river courses... and other astronomy, calendar, medicine, etc. must also be dabbled in. In short, they need to be knowledgeable in knowledge and have both good character and learning, so that they can be qualified for the responsibilities of the vassal king."
Zhu Di thought for a while, nodded and said: "You are right, we really want to set up a school to teach the children of the clan... By the way, Xu Jingchang, don't you have experience in running a school? Tell me about it."
Faced with Zhu Di's questioning again, King Qi had to admit, "My brother just said it out of anger. How could I have such thoughts..."
Looking back on the past, Zhu Di said with emotion, "As a descendant of the clan, you cannot be indifferent to the four bodies and five grains, let alone be ignorant of the sufferings of the people and do whatever you want to destroy the Zhu family's foundation."
Zhu Di had just staged a perfect Qingjun side, which gave these three words a special meaning in the Ming Dynasty.
The four princes could only kneel on the ground, trembling and begging.
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and wanted to kill them, but he couldn't do it. As an elder brother, it was really not easy.
"Your Majesty, let me make the decision for my brothers!"
Zhu Di snorted: "No, don't think too much. How can I rob the brothers' salaries? You have a bad idea... But we can't run a school without money. Let's temporarily abolish the three guards of the palace and transfer the money to
I'll run a school for you, and when they learn well, they can serve as vassal kings, and I'll arrange people for them."
Xu Jingchang is about to kowtow to Zhu Di. You, Zhu Laosi, are the real ruthless people. Although the vassal king's salary is quite high, he is only one person after all. However, the three guards of the palace are at least five or six thousand, and the soldiers and horses of King Sai are even more.
How can the savings that can be saved by reducing their military power be comparable to their salaries?
As they sang and harmonized, they had made clear arrangements for the feudal princes.
The King of Qi was startled and frightened, so he fell to the ground to plead guilty.
At this time, Xu Jingchang said again: "Your Majesty, I think these words of King Qi mean that he wants to enter the school, study hard and understand the truth. Your Majesty must not punish him without teaching him."
Zhu Di said coldly: "Can you teach him well?"
Xu Jingchang said calmly: "I'm just a bad student. It's not difficult at all."
