Chapter 255 We Little People (1)
Li Jinglong didn't know how to answer this.
But he had an answer in his heart.
No hero can tolerate the vassal kings who hold real power and have heavy troops under their command.
There can only be one emperor in the world, and there can only be ministers under the emperor, but not princes.
This is based on power conspiracy! It has nothing to do with right or wrong, nor can it be distinguished with right or wrong, it is the nature of power.
Just like Li Jinglong, after his father left, he directly separated the family under tremendous pressure.
Because the Li family can only have one Duke Cao and one heir.

"Say!" Zhu Yunxiu still looked at Li Jinglong, "How did you know that they had provoked my bottom line!"
Li Jinglong sighed in his heart and knelt down again, "I have actually heard some words over the years, but I am afraid that the emperor will be angry and know that the emperor is in a dilemma, so I endured it!"
"What did you hear?" Zhu Yunxi continued to ask.
"The vassal kings said privately that since ancient times, there have been sons who have established sons, so how can they make a grandson be better than sons?" Li Jinglong whispered, "They also said privately that the emperor just relied on his identity as a legitimate grandson to coax the old man. In fact, his ability to govern the country is far inferior."
"They also said that when the prince was there, they were polite to their brothers. And you, the emperor, have never been false to them, and you don't even tell me the relationship between uncle and nephew!"
"They also said, "Your Majesty, you are a young man, always thinking about unrealistic things. And you think about restraining your uncles as soon as you get to power. It's too mean."
"They said..." Li Jinglong paused, "The country captured by the old man belongs to the Zhu family, and the Ming Dynasty belongs to the Zhu family, not to you, the emperor!"
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxiu laughed out loud and looked at Li Jinglong playfully, "I have known these words for a long time, what else?"
Li Jinglong made up his mind and "secretly make friends with officials in the court and even generals in the army!" As he said that, he kowtowed again, "I have been ordered to patrol the garrisons in various places and found that many generals had contact with the vassal kings. For example, the commander generals from Qingzhou and Jinan were in love with the King of Qi!"
"I know all these!" As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu stood up, walked to the bookcase behind the throne, opened a box, and threw something out, "You can see it yourself?"
A memorial was thrown in front of Li Jinglong. He really didn't want to read it, but he had to read it.
He opened it tremblingly, just glanced at it a few times, immediately put it in a low voice, and bowed deeply, "These things cannot be seen by the ministers, and they cannot be heard by the ministers!"
What he saw was the illegal evidence of those vassal kings that Zhu Su gave to Zhu Yunsheng. Every item could take the lives of those vassal kings.
"I don't understand, what do they want?" Zhu Yunxiu sat down again and said, "The world's reputation has been decided long ago. What can they get besides causing disasters for themselves when doing this?"
Li Jinglong looked up and said solemnly, "This is the human heart! Power is a desire!"
"Yes, they just think that the power in their hands is too small and the money is too little. They try every means to make them stronger and make me, the emperor, dare not touch them! Ha, I think beautifully!" Zhu Yunsheng sneered.
"This is what I said just now!" Li Jinglong kowtowed, "The old man has been wise and powerful all his life, but he has given all the problems to you, the emperor!"
Yes, that's right.
But Zhu Yunxiu understood the old man's good intentions. He got married at the age of 25 and had a son only when he was almost thirty. In the chaotic times, almost all men of the Zhu family were dead. Now the population is finally prosperous, and each one is the treasure of the old Zhu family.
The old man hopes that they will grow and that the Zhu family will be endless and incense will continue.
"It's a problem!" Zhu Yunxiu rubbed his temples again, "And it's very difficult. I'm a junior again! Alas!"
"Emperor!" Li Jinglong kowtowed, "I think that if you should be punished, you will suffer. The vassal kings are unlawful and perverse. If the emperor does not punish them now, there may be a great disaster in the future!"
"Stop!" Zhu Yunxiu scolded again, "What do you know? I have promised the old man and don't bother with them!"
Li Jinglong stepped forward and whispered, "Emperor, the Supreme Emperor is wrong, you can't make mistakes again and again!" As he said, he continued solemnly, "In my opinion, this time the vassal kings came to Beijing is the best opportunity. They have no idea of repentance for the mistakes, and all the evidence is conclusive. Now they are in the capital again, and it is easy to deal with them!"
As he said that, he lowered his voice, "If they waited for them to return to their fiefdom, it would not be that simple! When the old man was still there, I must be careful to capture the King of Zhou to ensure that everything is safe!"
"The old man is gone now, and they have no worries at all, but it's hard to say! This matter cannot be delayed, it's not an exaggeration. It's okay to cut the mess quickly. If it's dragged on, it will not be a matter of restoration in a day or two!"
Zhu Yunxiu looked at him quietly, "But I promised the old man!" As he said, he said, "Besides, the old man just left, I asked my uncles about his crimes. What do all the officials and ministers think, what do the people in the world think, how do the historical books be written, and what do future generations think? My Zhu family is not Li Tang!"
Li Jinglong knew that the emperor had already made a conclusion in his heart. The reason for saying this was that he hoped he would make more fire.
"The historical books were written by the victors!" Li Jinglong said seriously, "Besides, the vassal kings deserve it!" As he said, he paused, "Your Majesty, you are not taking their lives, you are already very kind!"
Zhu Yunxiu didn't say anything and looked at Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong looked up and looked at the emperor's gaze.
"If you break it, you break it, and then you will be in danger!" Li Jinglong continued, "They will not understand your hard work, but will only become more severe. I know that the emperor is thinking about his love for his flesh and blood, and I also remember the emperor's instructions. However, for the sake of the family, country and the world, hundreds of millions of people, they must do it!"
"I think the Supreme Emperor's Spirit in Heaven can understand the Emperor's difficulties!"
Zhu Yunxiu still didn't say anything and continued to look at him.
"Some things can help the emperor share his worries!" Li Jinglong kowtowed.
At this moment, Deng Ping appeared at the door, "Emperor, Duke of Wei and Zheng are here!"
Zhu Yunxiu nodded and looked at Li Jinglong, "Stand up and listen next to me!"
~~
"I'm going to see the emperor!"
Duke Xu Huizu of Wei and Duke of Zheng Chang rose and came in shoulder to shoulder, kowtowed and bowed.
Li Jinglong noticed that Xu Huizu glanced at him slightly before saluting, as if quite surprised.
"Your Majesty, you can trust me in everything!" Li Jinglong said in his heart.
"Say!" Zhu Yunxiu sat on the throne, "I'm going to keep a lookout for Grandpa Emperor later!"
Chang Sheng calmly said in a low voice, "The letter from the Marquis of Huaiyuan Changsen has controlled Wuchang City. He first controlled the confidants of the leader of the King of Chu in the name of a banquet, and then broke the King of Chu's guards into pieces, and then transferred them to their own hands. Then the army divided and surrounded them. He had already disarmed! He had already watched the royal palace, and even a bird could not fly out."
As he said that, he paused, "The King of Chu guards, 22,000 troops! Those generals who led the troops were very sensible!"
Zhu Yunxi's face was full of ferocious expression.
There may not be many 20,000 people, but once there is a change, these 20,000 people will be able to fight for the young and strong people!
"The new Baoding General Qi Rang and Kaiping Guard Commander Yang Wen have controlled the fief of King Qi, and the royal palace surrounded the guards and disarmed the armed forces." Xu Huizu also spoke, "At the same time, the commander of the Shandong governor Wu Jie, dismissed all the garrison generals in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Jinan, where Qi Ye had guarded earlier, and investigated!"
"So..." Li Jinglong was suddenly frightened, "It turns out that the emperor was prepared for a long time. The last large-scale adjustment of local generals was to prepare for today!"
"King Ning is already on the way, and the Daning Wei commanded Sheng Yong to enter Daning with the emperor's flag. Some generals under the Ning Wang were dissatisfied and were punished by Sheng Yong on the spot. Not only was the garrison controlled the troops, but the three guards of Duoyan also entered Sheng Yong's hands now!"
"In the Shanxi and Shaanxi, the two vassal kings handed over power before leaving, and the weather was calm!"
"Cao Bing, the son of the King of Jingchuan Cao Zhen, is temporarily in charge of the troops of the Sixteenth Master, King Qing."
"The letter from Duke of Qian Mu Chun, the Eighteenth Master is not afraid of it."
"The letter from General Datong and General Xuanfu, who will live up to the emperor's order, will be done with the matter!"
"Governor Geng Yan commanded 70,000 troops, and was in charge of Henan, waiting for the emperor's order!"
A series of words made Li Jinglong feel frightened.
"The vassal kings are over. As soon as they came to the capital, the emperor asked someone to confiscate their hometown! They are making a fuss? They are making a fuss. They have no money in their hands. How can they go to the card table?"
"It turns out that everyone thought the emperor wanted to attack military affairs, so he adjusted the local generals. At that time, some people said that the action was too big, and they were afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction in the army. Now it seems that the emperor was not drunk, and those people were just for the vassal kings!"
"And all the soldiers dispatched are powerful generals in the army. They have enough military achievements and connections. They don't have to worry about not being able to suppress the subordinates of the vassal kings!"
At this moment, Zhu Yunxiu had a cold face and finally showed a smile.
"I understand!" As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu stood up, "You go and help! I'll go see the old man!"
