Because Yunxi was very happy, he wrote: I am very relieved and hope that the King of England will continue to work hard.
Then Yunxi wrote down his praise for Zhang Shu. As for the other Kaiyuan guards and officers, they were all British. According to the rules he had set, he could not interfere directly, and he did not want to break the rules.
But Yunxi's good mood was completely ruined by the next memorial, because this memorial came from Shandong and sued the King of Qi Zhu Su.
At the end of last month, Yunxi sent a censor and a temporary censor to patrol the Shandong area. Four people were sent to inspect various parts of Shandong. Yang Shiqi visited Dongchang Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, and another censor named Zeng Xinran visited Qingzhou Prefecture.
Qingzhou is Zhu Shu's fiefdom, and Zhu Shu's daily behavior need not be explained in detail, everyone knows it.
Zeng Xinran actually knew this, but after he arrived in Qingzhou, he discovered that Zhu Shu exploited the people of the fiefdom so powerfully that he not only set up Wangzhuang far beyond the quota set by the imperial court, but also bullied the people wantonly.
At the same time, Zhu Shu was not only bad to the people, but also to the three generals under him. He also took possession of the wives of his men. However, everyone dared not speak out: if he spoke out, Zhu Shu would be reprimanded at most. But I will be finished in the future.
The local prefect and county magistrate did not ask, because they always felt that it was useless to ask.
This is what Zeng Xinran saw when he arrived at Qingzhou Mansion.
Zeng Xinran really couldn't stand it anymore. As a Jinshi who had been in Hongwu for thirty years, he had just entered the officialdom for two years, and he was still full of passion. So on the second day after becoming Qingzhou, Zeng Xinran, who had already seen a lot of things, went to the capital on a special trip. Impeachment of King Zhu Shu of Qi.
Zeng Xinran also used the expedited system, hoping that the emperor would know the situation here as quickly as possible so that Zhu Su could be punished. At the very least, he would have to be sent to the capital for education for a while.
Yunxi was also very angry when he saw Zeng Xinran's words in the memorial. The previous secret report from Jinyiwei was also unclear, so this was the first time that Yunxi learned in detail what Zhu Su had done in the fief.
With a "pop" sound, Yunxi threw Zeng Xinran's folded book on the ground and said angrily: "If all the vassal kings in the world were like Zhu Su, then the Ming Dynasty would be over!" Yunxi didn't call Zhu Su by his title, but Calling him by his first name shows that he is very angry.
The fourth auxiliary officers and ministers present all raised their heads and looked at Yunxi after hearing Yunxi's words. Although they did not know the content of the memorial, they all guessed what it was from Yunxi's words.
Yunxi stood up and turned around a few times, and decided to punish Zhu Shu severely. He must not let all the clan members think that he would always forgive them for breaking the law.
Yunxi said to a member of Zhongshushe: "You come and draw up the decree! King Zhu Su of Qi is rampant and lawless, harming the people of the fiefdom, and goes against the ancestral precepts of Emperor Taizu. Although I regard him as a relative, he is rebellious and has no virtue. I am determined to reduce his title to General of the Kingdom in accordance with the ancestral teachings!"
Zhongshu Sheren, who was selected by Yunxi to draft the edict, almost threw away the pen in his hand when he heard the second half, and his face was full of surprise.
Not only him, but all the officials present did not expect that Yunxi would deal with Qi King Zhu Su like this.
Yunxi had shown great trust in the clan before, which was in the same vein as Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, although the ministers knew that he was very angry about what Qi King Zhu Su did in the fiefdom, no one expected that Yunxi would actually want to Reduced rank. And it was not downgraded by one level, but by two levels, directly from prince to general.
Not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although some people with the title of General Zhenguo have been born, no one has been officially awarded the title of General Zhenguo. If Zhu Su was awarded the title of General Zhenguo, he would be the first one in the Ming Dynasty.
It can be regarded as setting a precedent.
Yunxi said to Zhongshu Sheren who was writing: "Why don't you write? What are you doing standing there in a daze?"
The man then picked up his pen and started writing.
At this moment, Yun He walked in. He first saluted Yun He, then looked around and felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right.
He came here today to beg Yunxi to build his palace quickly. He had already had enough of staying in the palace and had long since left the palace to live alone. He just wanted to be his younger brother and shamelessly begged Yunxi. Yunxi didn't care about his
Although these brothers do not particularly trust them, not as much as they trust Shang Bing and others, they still take good care of them.
Yunxi wanted to adjust the atmosphere before he could talk about his own affairs, so he leaned close to Yunxi and asked in a low voice: "Did the emperor get angry just now? The emperor is not worthy of being angry about government affairs. He was so angry.
Corrupt officials should be happy."
But he didn't expect Yunxi to say: "It's not because of government affairs! It has nothing to do with corrupt officials."
"Uncle Seventh King is rampant and lawless, cruelly oppressing the local people, and asked the censor I sent to sue him."
As Yunxi spoke, he handed a memorial to Yunxi: "Look, what unethical things Uncle Seventh King did in Qingzhou!"
Yunxi took the memorial from Yunxi, opened it and looked at it, and was very surprised.
Yunxi continued: "So the emperor has decided to depose Zhu Su as the king of Qi and demote him to the general of the country, as a warning to others!"
Although Yunxi knew that Yunxi was so angry that Zhu Zhu would not be able to forgive him, he was still very surprised that Yunxi wanted to deal with Zhu Xu so harshly. Yunzhen said: "Brother, it's a bit too much. Brother Huang, if you don't
If you are satisfied with Uncle Seventh King, you can abolish Uncle Seventh King's position as King of Qi, and then let Xianxu inherit the position of King of Qi in advance."
Yunxi said: "Uncle Seventh King is the first generation King of Qi, why can't I dethrone him as King of Qi!"
It was almost noon at this time. Seeing that Yun Chen wanted to continue persuading, Yun He asked all the ministers to go to dinner. Only the two of them were left in the palace, and even the servants were sent out. Yun He continued while continuing
He persuaded Yunxi and winked at his eunuch.
After a while, a bunch of princes, princes and princes came over to persuade Yunxi about the matter. Someone also cited the example of Zhu Wenzheng, the king of Nanchang: "Uncle Wang of Nanchang intended to rebel against the emperor's grandfather, although the emperor's grandfather was imprisoned.
Uncle Wang of Nanchang, but later he still named Brother Wang Shouqian as King of Jingjiang. So Brother Huang should follow Grandpa Huang’s example.”
Yunxi was really impatient with their persuasion, and finally said: "Well, let's abolish the seventh uncle's position as King of Qi and let Xian Yao inherit the title in advance."
"But," Yunxi said to Zhu Xianyao who was standing at the outermost edge and didn't know what to do. He just felt that it would be bad if he didn't come: "Xianyou, if you still abuse the people like Uncle Seventh King, then I will completely
