The next day at the court meeting, the old man, who had not been seen for a long time, made a rare appearance in front of the officials.
The two promotions directly caused an uproar, and even Zhu Yunxi was caught off guard.
These two imperial edicts are extremely simple, just the common vernacular used by the old man.
"The King of Huai, Zhu Yunwen, secretly hid his dragon robes, concealed armored soldiers, and recruited magicians with the intention of treason. He was sentenced to death, withdrew from the feudal lordship, and was expelled from the country."
"Prince Ma of Dali Temple, the mother clan of Princess Huai, was dismissed from office and exiled to Hainan!"
The two imperial edicts were not only spoken in court, but also made known to the world. In the 29th year of Hongwu, the originally peaceful officialdom and the peaceful world suddenly became turbulent and strange.
King Huai was the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty and the grandson of the emperor, so he was the son of the prince. When he was in the palace, he was quite famous. After he was granted the title of Huai'an, he had no bad habits. Why was he suddenly sentenced to death for treason?
Besides, with the old prince's protective temper, even if his grandson wanted to rebel, he would not use such methods to deal with it. What's wrong with just saying he died of illness after a glass of poisoned wine?
Moreover, the most eye-catching thing among them is the two points of withdrawing the vassal and expelling the vassalage. From now on, the Huai King line will no longer be the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. Elimination of the vassalage means that the Zhu family will no longer be in the family tree.
There is no name Zhu Yunwen.
But Zhu Yunxi understood what the old man was thinking.
The old man is telling all his sons that when we are old, we can see you clearly. I don’t want you to be falsely filial, I just hope you can really abide by your duties. Otherwise, Zhu Yunwen will be a lesson for you. I have seen your grandson since childhood.
Even if they all die, you people may not be much more important than him in our hearts.
As for the attack on the Ma family of Dali Temple, it was purely due to the old man's convenience.
"We protect our shortcomings and save our face!" The old man's voice echoed in the Fengtian Palace, "I didn't want to cause such a fuss, but my descendants are not living up to expectations. Today, we learned the old saying that a real man will inevitably have an unkind wife and unfilial son!"
"Cough, cough!" The old man coughed twice, looked at the ministers and continued, "Don't discuss Prince Huai's case in private, let alone make secret speculations." After speaking, he took a few breaths and looked at the ministers with stern eyes.
Head patrolling, "Otherwise, we will be punished as a comrade."
Speaking of this, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxi sitting next to him.
"Grandson, in addition to these two things, there is one more thing to attend today's meeting!" As he said that, the old man pointed at the military ministers, "Where is the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army?"
"I'm waiting here!"
In an instant, the governors of the five military governors' offices, Qian Shi, and others all knelt down and kowtowed.
"From now on, all major military and national affairs must be handled by the Emperor Taisun himself. The mobilization of troops and horses in various places, and the promotion of military attachés all require the Emperor's Taisun's approval. Even the transportation of military grain reserves, military pay, equipment, and materials in various places must be approved by the Emperor Taisun.
print!"
Among the ministers, many officials affiliated with the East Palace suddenly felt ecstatic in their eyes.
The emperor's grandson oversees the country, and originally only had political power. Now that the emperor said this at the court meeting, he gave the emperor's grandson the military power of the Ming Dynasty.
"I obey the order!" the distinguished military attachés from the Fifth Army Commander's Office hurriedly kowtowed and replied.
The military power of the capital of the Ming Dynasty has actually been in the hands of Zhu Yunxi for a long time. The chief military officer in charge of the 190,000 troops of the capital camp is his uncle. Most of the governors and ministers also obey his orders. The nobles of the capital
, and he is the only one who follows his lead.
But there is another meaning in the old man's will.
That is, from now on, Zhu Yunxi can use the name of the central government to legally manage and mobilize the armies of the vassal kings. He can even strangle their necks in terms of military pay and food.
Throughout the ages, no prince has ever had such authority. It is better to abdicate than to abdicate.
"Grandson!" The old man called Zhu Yunxi on the dragon throne.
The latter knelt in front of him and heard him continue to whisper, "From now on, you will be in charge!" After saying that, he smiled and pressed his big hand on Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, "We don't care about those nosy things!"
Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything, he just patted the back of the old man's hand gently and nodded.

After the court meeting dispersed, a fleet of horses immediately left the capital carrying the imperial edict, which was rushed for 800 miles to be sent to all parts of the world, especially to the vassal kings, who had to deliver it as quickly as possible.
In the attic of the Pagoda Temple in Peiping, the sky-reaching Haotian Pagoda, Zhu Di was sitting by the window, looking at the oracle in his hand, with a cold expression on his face and without saying a word.
The wind blows, the white curtains flutter, and the wind chimes hanging in the tower make a sweet sound.
There were footsteps, and Yao Guangxiao appeared limping in black monk robes, grinning and sitting on the futon.
"The young monk almost capsized in the gutter and was damaged in Huai'an!"
Zhu Di looked out the window, ignored the other party's words, and spoke slowly, "The old man is really cruel. After all, he is his own grandson, so he just killed him like this? It's just killing him, revoking the vassalage and expelling the vassalage. Moreover, there is not even a cemetery.
Give!"
Yao Guangxiao wanted to say something, but held back.
He just curled his lips in his heart and said, "You Zhu family are all very cruel. Even Zhu Yunwen, who seems stupid, eats people without spitting out their bones! He almost killed Buddha!"
"Tell me, how much does the old man know about our affairs?" Zhu Di suddenly turned his head and asked, "Did Zhu Yunwen know anything before he died?"
"If your old man knew about it, I am afraid that what comes today will not be such an imperial edict!" Yao Guangxiao thought about it, "However, I have some doubts in my heart!"
Zhu Di nodded, "I know my father's temperament, he is suspicious!"
After saying that, he asked again, "I guess all my brothers were frightened by this imperial edict. Old man, you are killing a chicken to show us!"
"When your old man is alive, they are naturally afraid. If he is gone, they will naturally not be afraid!" Yao Guangxiao said with a smile, "The so-called Eight Kings Alliance did not expect anything to happen when your old man was around, for the sake of his future.
"
As he spoke, Yao Guangxiao paused, "Actually, this is fine. In the future, when the one from the East Palace comes to power and we let the Eight Kings Alliance out, he will naturally take action against the other vassal kings. By then, those vassal kings will not be able to resist even if they want to.
!”
Zhu Di said nothing and looked at the imperial edict in his hand, "There's something going on here. Why did the old man find Zhu Yunzhen? Why did he think he was treason? Why did he deal with it so cruelly?"
Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao's eyes flashed with timidity, and he did not dare to look into Zhu Di's eyes, nor did he dare to reply.
If the King of Yan in front of him knew what he had done by inciting Zhu Yunwen, I am afraid that the next second, he would be bloodied on the spot. In the heart of King Yan Zhu Di, he can scheme against anyone, but he cannot scheme against him, the old man of the Zhu family.
In his heart, he can be a traitor, but he doesn't want to be a villain!
"This is not going to be easy!" Zhu Di said again, "The old man also gave the military power to the East Palace. From now on, he can order us openly and extend his hands into our territory!"
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term!" Yao Guangxiao also felt a headache.
Immediately, Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di, "Is it possible that Qiansui was hesitant and afraid?"
"Am I afraid? Ha, what a joke!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, "If a man doesn't eat with five pots of food, he will cook with five pots of food!" As he said, the laughter stopped, "Besides, it's too late for me to be afraid now! I'm just afraid of the old man.
If you tolerate me, even that person in the East Palace will not tolerate me in the future!"
"The world is supposed to be run by men like you, Chitose. The one in the East Palace is just an old man's favor. He has no virtue and no merit, and his virtue is not worthy of his place."
"Hey, let me tell you!" Zhu Di rarely interrupted Yao Guangxiao, looked at him, and asked, "Tell me, does the old man know that you are not dead?"
Yao Guangxiao looked stunned.
"Tell me!" Zhu Di continued, "Does that person in the East Palace know that there is a person like you?"
