The three of them frowned and shook their heads when they saw Li Qing, and their expressions were not very good. However, they also knew that there was something wrong with them, so they always maintained their manners.
Zhu Yunwen, on the other hand, saw that the atmosphere was not very good and was afraid that the three of them would be resentful, so he spoke for Li Qing:
"When Grandpa Huang was still alive, he often praised Mr. Li as an able minister who could be of great use in governing the world."
Then, he explained the national policy of restructuring proposed by Li Qing to the three of them. After hearing this, the three of them were shocked and shouted that it was feasible.
Huang Zicheng was the first to report: "Your Majesty, the national policy of Yongqinghou is actually a good medicine for governing the world and should be implemented as soon as possible!"
"I second the proposal." Fang Xiaoru followed closely, "The sooner it is implemented, the sooner the people will benefit. The country should implement its policies sooner rather than later!"
Qi Tai frowned slightly, but after pondering for a moment, he felt that it would be better to implement it as soon as possible.
"I also second the proposal."
If Li Qing really knows how to thank him, can he implement it in the current situation?
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was upset, he knew that he could not persuade him, so he said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what Emperor Taizu said back then?"
Zhu Yunwen was startled and nodded: "Remember, Grandpa Huang said that when my foundation is solid and all the people are united, then..."
He blushed and said sarcastically: "Three gentlemen, please be patient. The current situation is unstable and is not a good opportunity for governance."
He is a person who has no independent opinion, but having no independent opinion does not mean he is stupid.
Zhu Yunwen now really feels that Li Qing is reliable, much more reliable and more useful than the three of Qi and Tai.
Moreover, this is the only person that the emperor has left for himself, who can be trusted and reused. He does not want to disappoint Li Qing, so he said:
"I announce that from now on, the plan to reduce the vassal state will be completely stopped, and at the same time, I will appease the nobles and vassal kings. Only when the monarch and ministers are united can we implement national policies and make the people of Ming Dynasty live a better life."
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!" Qi, Fang and Huang were shocked.
Huang Zicheng said: "Your Majesty, if you stop now, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but it will also be equivalent to telling the world that your previous actions were wrong. Then the death of King Xiang will be the emperor's force... Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Your Majesty, please don't keep the benevolence of women. If the vassal king does not cut it, it will definitely become a disaster for the Ming Dynasty in the future." Fang Xiaoru said, "Forgive me for being brave. If you keep letting the vassal king do nothing, the emperor can safely pass on the throne to you for eternity.
Descendants?"
"I……"
Zhu Yunwen's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. Fang Xiaoru's words spoke to his heart.
If he does not get rid of these increasingly powerful vassal kings, will his son be able to secure the throne a hundred years later when his son takes the throne?
Even he himself can't sit still now. If it develops for another few decades, what's the point?
But it was hard to take back what he said, so he could only change his words and said: "Mr. Li's worries are justified to a certain extent. The current large-scale reduction of vassals has caused people to be impetuous, which has indeed caused adverse effects."
With just one simple sentence, the golden words he had spoken turned into Li Qing's suggestions. It has to be said that Xiao Xiao Zhu still has something, although not much.
The little hope that Li Qing had just raised turned into disappointment.
He said calmly: "It's not just a bad influence. The situation has reached an extreme level. If the emperor insists on going his own way, within three months, the world will turn against him."
"What Yongqing Hou said is alarmist." Qi Tai shook his head and said, "Who dares to rebel?"
Li Qing sneered and said: "The vassal king has no way to survive, how can he not rebel?"
Fang Xiaoru argued: “What is orthodoxy?
The emperor is orthodox, and the King of Xiang did not dare to rebel for fear of committing suicide, which is enough to illustrate the problem!"
"Those words that are fearless will harm the country and the people!" Li Qing couldn't bear it anymore and cursed loudly: "You three troublemakers have turned a good situation into a mess. In the future, the nine tribes will be wiped out without complaining.
.”
"For the sake of the country and the country, what's the harm in destroying ten clans?" Fang Xiaoru argued, "The world will not be in chaos, and the vassal king will not dare to rebel!"
Li Qing laughed angrily, "You can't survive, so why don't you dare to fight back?
If you die and you are given a bad posthumous title, why don't you object?"
"The vassal kings dare not rebel." Qitai said, "To give an inappropriate example, before the Qin Dynasty, if the six countries joined forces, how could Qin be unified with the power of the six countries?
To put it bluntly, they all have their own agendas. Each of the six countries wants to beggar their neighbor and let others contribute. Even at the last moment, they all focus on preserving themselves and will not collude at all;
Even if Su Qin is as talented as him, the six-nation alliance he created only lasted a short time and then fell apart!"
"Shilang Qi really learned history well!" Li Qing gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't dare!" Qi Tai said politely, and said decisively: "The six countries cannot destroy Qin, because they will not cooperate sincerely at all. The only possibility for them to unite is to be destroyed by Qin and unified by Qin!
In the same way, the Ming vassal kings are the same, but they are far from comparable to the Six Kingdoms, because at that time, King Qin was still the king, and now the emperor is the emperor!
He is the only master of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to rebel?"
Qi Tai said loudly: "Qin Shihuang can make the world without six kingdoms. Could it be that the emperor can't make the world without vassal kings?"
Zhu Yunwen's blood boiled and he flicked his sleeves, "The First Emperor can do it, why can't I?"
Li Qing said nothing more, and his last hope for Xiao Zhu was shattered.
It's incredible when you think about it. Less than a year after Lao Zhu's death, the good situation turned into this bird-like appearance. Among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there will never be another one like Xiao Zhu.
Even the playful Zhengde, the immortal cultivator Jiajing, the otaku Wanli, and the carpenter Tianqi could not be like this.
Seriously... We are not afraid of the rich second generation losing their fortune, but they are afraid of the rich second generation starting a career.
The king is incompetent, and the ministers are also incompetent.
At this point, Ming Dynasty must go through a period of pain before it can reverse the current situation. Otherwise, Ming Dynasty will probably fall into the hands of Zhu Yunwen.
He was powerless to change, even if he secretly killed Xiao Zhu, it would not help.
If the emperor dies, the world will only become more chaotic.
Li Qing exhaled a breath of depression and said dejectedly: "Stir it up, stir it up, just stir it up...!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Now in this situation, even if Zhuge Liang comes, there is nothing he can do to save the situation.
If the master doesn't listen to good advice at all, what's the use of the best advice?
Everyone says Liu Chan is fatuous, but at least Liu Chan knows how to use people, and Zhu Yunwen... haha.
Li Qing strode forward. He was completely disappointed and didn't care about Zhu Yunwen's efforts to stay behind him.
If you don't listen and don't listen, what's the use of staying?
In the imperial study room, the four monarchs and ministers all looked ugly.
Huang Zicheng was so angry that he slapped the table, "It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable. Marquis Yongqing relies on his talent and is arrogant. He has no regard for the emperor. I beg the emperor to punish him."
"Sir, calm down." Zhu Yunwen had a good temper and did not get angry because Li Qing waved his sleeves.
Of course, having a good temper is one thing, but more importantly, he has a guilty conscience.
First, he promised to listen to advice, but in the end he broke his promise.
Secondly, he knew Li Qing's abilities and understood that he was sincere.
In addition, this is the most important talent that the emperor specially mentioned before his death, so he will not punish Li Qing for this serious crime.
Zhu Yunwen sighed, "I have failed him. It is normal for him to have resentment in his heart. The three gentlemen might as well talk about the matter of reducing the vassal!"
"Your Majesty is as humble as a valley, and I admire you so much." Fang Xiaoru bowed his hand with sincerity, "In my humble opinion, it is time to take action against King Yan."
"King Yan?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a hint of playfulness on his face, "Now?"
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later!" Qi Tai said, "Now the situation is clear. Three kings will be killed this month. King Yan is not a fool. Even if he doesn't dare to resist, he will take defensive measures. We must take action as soon as possible."
Zhu Yunwen said, "He is in the capital now."
"Ah? King Yan is in the capital?"
The three of them were startled and immediately overjoyed, "Where is he?"
"I live in the palace." Zhu Yunwen said.
"Catch him!" Qi Tai became energetic, "We can't let him escape, Your Majesty, this is really a God-given opportunity!"
Zhu Yunwen hesitated, "What's the crime?"
Huang Zicheng said, "Control the person first, and the charges can be investigated slowly."
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Huang Zicheng said again, "Your Majesty, we must not miss this opportunity before we come again. If we miss this opportunity, the King of Yan will defend the city in the future, and the court does not know how many troops it will consume."
Fang Xiaoru also advised, "Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer."
The three cobblers all agreed, and Zhu Yunwen finally made up his mind, "Here comes someone!"
…
Li Qing had just left the palace gate, and before he had gone far, he saw nearly a hundred guards rushing out with murderous intent and heading straight towards the palace.
He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zhu Di was in danger.
The so-called general trend does not mean that there is a god controlling everything, but the general trend of the development of things, which can also be called: the essence.
Zhu Yuanzhang established his grandson and Zhu Yunwen, not because he was controlled by the gods, but because Lao Zhu considered the overall situation.
This was the case even when Zhu Yunwen cut down his vassal status. It was not because someone forced him to do so, but because he felt insecure and wanted to cut down his vassal status.
And he, Li Qing, has more or less influenced the people around him since he came to the court. Now if Zhu Di is caught, there will be no so-called Yongle Emperor.
When things got to this point, Li Qing knew that a war was inevitable!
Even if King Yan does not rebel, other vassal kings will rebel. It is better to let Zhu Di rebel. Then, Jingnan will succeed and develop according to the laws of history.
But if Zhu Di is captured, then everything will really be over.
As for Zhu Yunwen, who was so talented, he might not even be able to retire, so the Ming Dynasty let him finish it.
