Chapter 277 Do you want to be Yao and Shun? Do you want to be Jie and Zhou?
Chapter 277 Your Majesty, do you want to be like Yao and Shun? Do you want to be like Jie and Zhou?
Author: Mu Yunfeng
The situation quickly took a turn for the worst.
Half a month later, the little princess had to urge Yang Feng to go back again.
The Shenji Camp surrounded Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Song Zhong led the Jinyi Guards to Jingzhou under the protection of the Shenji Battalion, but Zhu Yunwen hid in the Prince of Xiang's Mansion and refused to go out. Song Zhong believed that it was the King of Xiang's intention, so he ordered the Shenji Battalion to surround the Prince's Mansion and ask the King of Xiang to surrender.
At the same time, Zhu Yunxi also issued another decree, using the reason that the funeral was approaching, asking King Xiang to rush to the capital immediately, and Zhu Yunwen must also rush back to the capital immediately.
As for the King of Chu's request that he tell the world that he had never thought of killing his brother and grant Zhu Yunwen the title of vassal king, Zhu Yunxi also refused to issue the order.
At the same time, he issued an order to rebuke the King of Chu.
But at the same time, the four kings of Yan, Zhou and Suqing were in Lanzhou, the kings of Liaoning and others were in Beiping, and the three kings of Jin and Qin were in Xi'an.
The king granted vassal status to show brotherhood and respect to the world.
But it was also rejected.
After all, Zhu Yunxi really wanted to kill Zhu Yunwen.
The latter tried to kill him.
Ever since the assassination that year, he was no longer prepared to keep his brother. What's more, after that, Zhu Yunwen has been dishonest and made trouble again and again. Now he has done something like this again. If Zhu Yunxi doesn't kill him, how can he?
Aren't they going to have endless troubles?
Let him return to Beijing.
Then he was locked up for being unfilial.
Grandpa has not been buried yet, but as his grandson in Beijing, he fled privately. This is obviously unfilial.
After the funeral is over, Zhu Yunwen can be allowed to die.
Commit suicide in shame.
Severe illness.
…
There is always something suitable for him.
What's more, it's obvious that his uncles are uniting against him. The latter are angry at his clan reforms and want to take advantage of this gathering to give him a blow.
He can't back down either.
If he doesn't show off as a strong king, the latter will push further.
"It seems that Zhu Yunwen buried Lao Zhu quickly within seven days in history, and also prohibited the kings from entering the capital to attend the funeral. This was very smart. Regardless of whether he had evil intentions in his heart, this move indeed prevented the vassal kings from gathering to cause trouble.
Zhu Yunxi did make a mistake. He should not have given the kings a chance to gather. These guys couldn't do anything if they stayed in the fiefdom one by one. After all, they were isolated from each other. But it was hard to say what would happen if they got together. After all, people
How brave!"
Yang Feng said.
He still hasn't set off south.
This has nothing to do with him. He is still an outsider after all. There is no need for him, an outsider, to be so enthusiastic about this kind of struggle between brothers, uncles and nephews in the Zhu family.
Make a fuss!
Anyway, even if we really want to fight, we won't be able to fight for a while.
Besides, what can he do when he goes back?
Tell Zhu Di not to cause trouble?
But Zhu Di didn't cause any trouble in the first place. He just knew that his two nephews were fighting each other, and then as the eldest uncle, he tried to persuade them. What was wrong with him?
Advise Zhu Yunxi to let Zhu Yunwen go?
joke!
Yang Feng himself wanted to kill him! This bastard has done so many things, and it’s not like he didn’t try to kill him. Why should he save Zhu Yunqi? Zhu Yunqi should kill him quickly! He had not set up his rifle before and lay on the ground.
Sniping and killing Prince Guangze on the rooftop was already giving Lao Zhu face.
Advise Zhu Yunxi to take it easy first, pretend to let him go, and then kill him after getting through this?
Then he would be giving in to his uncles.
People will take advantage of it.
If he gives in to this matter, people will further unite and fight against his reforms. This is not Zhu Yunwen's business in the first place. His uncles don't really treat Zhu Yunwen as their little treasure. They are using this to test him. He dares to retreat.
, others dare to advance immediately, he takes one step back, others dare to advance ten steps. This is a struggle in which a new king tries to establish his authority and unites with a group of vassal kings to fight. The two sides are not fighting for Zhu Yunwen's life or death, but who has the final say in the future.
If Zhu Yunqi dared to give in, he would not be able to turn around in the short term at least. This is different from the situation Zhu Yunqi faced in history. First of all, Zhu Yunqi did something wrong and did not give his uncles a chance to gather. Secondly, Zhu Yunqi was supported by the ministers.
After all, he was really loved by the ministers when he took the throne...
The sky was clear.
The ministers who had been trembling under the clutches of Zhu Yuanzhang for thirty years suddenly felt that the air was sweet.
"No, this matter is not that simple. Are there people behind those feudal kings?
We have to figure it out."
Yang Feng suddenly realized a problem, what gave the feudal kings the confidence?
At least in terms of military strength, Zhu Yunxi still had an absolute advantage over the feudal kings. The strongest in the latter system was King Yan, but Zhu Di already wanted to withdraw and explore the Western Regions at this time. Based on Yang Feng's experience of traveling with him for more than a year
, Zhu Di doesn't look like an actor on this issue. He is a person who really likes fighting. After all, in history, he used to fight at a young age.
The feeling of killing in the Western Region is addictive for people like Zhu Di.
And he also knows the strength of the Shenji Battalion.
His nephew has already trained six armies of the Shenji Battalion.
The total strength is nearly 100,000.
What's more, there is Lan Yu sitting in charge.
Zhu Di probably didn't want to seize the throne.
If he does not seize the throne, then none of the other vassal kings have this ability. Even King Zhou has just moved to vassal at this time and has only a foothold in Xining, and even the guards have not arrived yet.
The King of Chu had a strong army, after all, he needed to suppress the local area in Annan.
With three guards and the Annan garrison, he controlled an army of 100,000.
But it's no use.
His Annan regiment was trained by Lan Yu when he was stationed in Guangxi. If Lan Yu shouted on the battlefield, the latter would have a high probability of capturing him as a rebel. After all, Lan Yu's prestige in the army was not comparable to his.
As for the remaining vassal kings, let alone the remaining vassal kings. King Han, King Gu, and King Min have just become vassals and have no royal palaces yet. They are just waving flags and shouting. The kings of Liao and Ning are not as strong in military affairs.
Weak, but they are actually not very affected by the reform. After all, if we want to give them real seals...
Well, if they are sealed, they will be really miserable.
After all, they are not good places.
Nine Kings fortress.
What a good place!
If we really don't give them money, kings like these will be very poor. In fact, even if we give them money, many of them will still be very poor, such as King Su, who is famously poor.
But this issue is not undiscussable.
"So, they are going to make a fuss first to increase their bargaining chips, and then ask for more benefits from Zhu Yunxi during the next clan reform? Crying children will get milk. Are they deliberately trying to scare Zhu Yunxi?"
Yang Feng stroked his mustache and said.
However……
Beijing.
"Do these bitches think that since Grandpa Huang is gone, they dare to cause trouble?"
Emperor Chengguang of the Ming Dynasty, who had just changed his Yuan Dynasty, looked at the outside of Chengtian Gate angrily...
Okay, it's gone again.
Thousands of students from the Imperial College, as well as Confucian scholars in and around the capital, knelt down outside the Chengtian Gate one by one. The leader held aloft a letter. As for the purpose of their visit, of course it was for the sake of the brothers and sisters of the Ming Emperor, please ask His Majesty the Emperor.
Granting a vassal status to the Prince of Guangze County made Emperor Daxing feel at ease.
This matter has caused quite a stir recently.
Although Zhu Yunxi actually initially found an excuse to reprimand his brother, and then asked his brother to shut up and think about his mistakes. Although he did have further plans, they were all after the funeral. The first step was to lock up his brother first to prevent him from being exposed.
He made trouble before the funeral, especially colluding with those uncles who came to Beijing, but it was completely impossible to say that Zhu Yunxi killed his brother. But he didn't expect that his brother was so cunning and just ran away, while the people were hyping it up with ulterior motives.
, the process of killing his brother has been made up for him, such as poisoning his brother, then his brother accidentally spilled it, and was eaten by a cute cat, bleeding from all the orifices on the spot.
This is obviously someone spreading rumors.
Understandable.
After all, his imperial examination reform made all the Confucian scholars furious, and it was inevitable to make up stories about him. In the end, almost everyone among the people believed that it was because he had taken action against his brother that his brother had no choice but to flee.
As for King Xiang and the other vassal kings, of course they were elders and couldn't bear to see them fighting each other, so they just tried to mediate.
But he was ruthless and unreasonable, and wanted to kill his brother.
This is very cruel.
Then the Confucian scholars in front of them fell into disgrace.
In fact, the key is not that he is ruthless and unreasonable, but that his reform of the imperial examination made these Confucian scholars intolerable and took this opportunity to disgust him and attack his image. In the final analysis, it was because his grandfather died and these guys had nothing to fear, just like
Yang Feng commented that he suddenly felt like he was good again, could run, and could jump.
This is also normal.
After all, they had been suppressed in Zhu Yuanzhang's shadow for too long.
It's inevitable that I can't control myself now.
"Your Majesty, why don't you accept their letter and they will disperse naturally."
Zhang Xianzong said cautiously.
"Are they writing a petition?"
Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
Zhang Xianzong was speechless.
Indeed, people did not write letters at all, but to demonstrate. Writing letters was not the purpose, but Fu Que was. The act itself was their purpose.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, a young general wearing the military uniform of the Shenji Battalion came up and saluted His Majesty the Emperor.
This is Guo Yong, Guo Ying's third son. Guo Ying's eldest son Guo Zhen, the consort, has just died. His second son is a civil servant, and Guo Yong, as the second generation of Xun and a military general, was naturally accepted by Zhu Yunxi into the Shenji Camp. Shenji Camp.
The generals of the machine battalion are all the second generation of Xun and the third generation of Xun. This is also Zhu Yunxi's method to win over the nobles. As for the combat effectiveness of these people themselves, it is not important. After all, the generals of the Shenji Battalion no longer need to charge into the battle. But after all, they are the second generation of Xun, even if they are not
There are still some brave and brave people of the previous generation who are above the passing line. In the early Ming Dynasty, the performance of the second generation of Xun was not bad, such as people like Xu Huizu.
They are qualified as generals.
During the last Western Expedition, the second generation who participated in the war did not hold back.
"Take your soldiers and drive them all out."
Zhu Yunxi pointed at the Confucian scholars below and said.
"I obey the decree!"
Guo Yong immediately accepted the order and walked down Chengtianmen.
At this time, inside Chengtianmen, there were soldiers from the Shenji Battalion lined up neatly. However, it was not a fighting square, but columns one by one, with spearmen and musketeers divided into columns. At the same time, five soldiers in a row at Chengtianmen
The outer two doors opened, and as Guo Yong pointed his sword outward, the neatly lined up spearmen and musketeers walked out in neat steps, and then quickly formed an array outside.
A team of spears and a team of muskets were arranged at intervals and quickly formed a horizontal formation in front of the city gate.
This is their suppression tactic.
Of course His Majesty the Emperor's training of the Shenji Battalion is not just for field operations, but also for internal purposes.
There is obviously no need for a phalanx internally, so we designed this simple but maximum deterrent tactic. The densely packed spears and muskets are simply formed into a whole in six rows, which looks really impressive...
"Holy edict, you are all students of the Imperial College. You took the money from the imperial court but did not study hard. Instead, you listened to rumors and alienated your majesty's brotherhood. You should have been imprisoned. However, because you are young and ignorant, I will spare you."
Once you do, you should immediately return to the Imperial College to study, otherwise you will be punished for alienating your Majesty's brothers."
A eunuch walked to the front and shouted to the Confucian scholars.
The latter looked at each other.
"If your majesty is a brother-in-law, why would King Guangze risk his own life and escape?"
shouted a Confucian scholar.
"If the rumors are false, please ask your Majesty to grant a vassal to clear up the world's suspicions."
"If your Majesty is a brother and a brother, why don't you grant him a vassal status?"
…
all the Confucian scholars shouted.
Zhu Yunxi's face on the tower was blue with anger.
In fact, he is not a good-tempered person. After all, there are not many good-tempered people in the old Zhu family. His grandfather Chang Yuchun is even less good-tempered. In fact, he has basically taken over the government completely since last year. At that time, Confucian scholars
They are all honest.
When he was not emperor, no one dared to cause trouble with him even if he was already in power.
Now that he is the emperor, these guys have jumped out.
What's the meaning?
In the past, they were just afraid of his grandfather.
People have never been afraid of him at all, but now that his grandfather is gone, these bullies immediately give him a bad look.
"Guo Yong!"
he shouted.
Guo Yong quickly raised his head.
And those Confucian scholars also saw him...
"Your Majesty is up there!"
"Your Majesty, please grant King Guangze a vassal title to show your Majesty's brotherhood!"
…
The Confucian scholars immediately shouted.
Zhu Yunxi pressed his hand down.
"go ahead!"
Guo Yong shouted.
The arrayed Shenji Battalion immediately moved forward.
"Your Majesty has decreed that you all should withdraw from Chengtian Gate immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
Guo Yong shouted.
The Confucian scholars looked at each other...
"Don't be afraid, I don't believe they dare to shoot. Do you want to be like Yao and Shun, or do you want to be like Jie and Zhou?"
one of them shouted.
Then the Confucian scholars made a noise.
But at this moment, the soldiers on the opposite side stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the musketeers in the front row raised their magic guns.
"I say it again, exit Chengtianmen immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
Guo Yong shouted.
Those Confucian scholars were obviously passionate, or they lacked respect for the new emperor, or they were overconfident. As a result, no one retreated. Instead, the leader assumed a righteous and awe-inspiring posture and moved forward with the letter held high...
"Your Majesty, please do not make Emperor Daxing uneasy under the Nine Springs."
he shouted.
"put!"
Guo Yong shouted.
The next moment, a magical gun shot out flames.
The dense bullets instantly spattered flesh and blood among the Confucian scholars...
