Da Ming started to ascend the throne

The only thing that made Zhu Youjian feel relieved was King Zhou. He lowered his head and didn't say a word, which seemed to be inconsistent with other vassal kings.

When the rogues attacked Kaifeng, the king of Zhou took out more than 50 taels of silver to pay the army, and rewarded the people and soldiers in the city to defend Kaifeng.

On the other hand, other vassal kings were just the opposite. Their fiefs were attacked by bandits, as if they had nothing to do with them, and they didn't pay a penny. As a result, their families were ruined.

Seeing the performance of the vassal kings, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely dissatisfied. They were all worried about the emperor, wondering if the emperor could handle their relatives.

They really hope that the emperor can be stronger again, just like those corrupt officials, and punish these shameless princes.

But would the emperor do that?They all feel that it is impossible to do that. No matter how angry the emperor is, he will not destroy his nine clans. If he does that, even the emperor himself will be punished.

After the vassal kings finally finished speaking and calmed down, Zhu Youjian asked:

"Have you all finished talking? Is there anything else that needs to be added? You can continue now."

Several vassals felt that what they said seemed to be missing something, so they wanted to add a few more words, but they gave up when they saw that the emperor's face was not right.

"Your Majesty, it's almost enough, we don't want to haggle over every detail, there is nothing to add."

They all thought that the emperor summoned them to negotiate with them and want them to cooperate in the reform, but if they want them to cooperate, the emperor must give them enough benefits.

"Snapped……"

Zhu Youjian suddenly split the Long Shu case with his palm, which frightened all the civil and military officials in the court.

Those invincible vassals just now were also taken aback, but they didn't think the emperor could do anything to him.

After Zhu Youjian shot the Broken Dragon Book Case, Teng stood up and shouted violently:

"King Qin, King Jin, King Su, you can be convicted. As the lord of the Ming Dynasty, I did nothing when the bandits attacked the city, and surrendered to the bandits after the city was broken.

The income from the fiefdom for many years has become the supply of the rogues, let them counterattack our Daming, causing the loss of life, come here, push them out and behead them to show the public. "

The three vassal kings who were still invincible just now never expected that the emperor would suddenly turn his face, and suddenly felt a huge murderous aura enveloped them.

The emperor laid down millions of corpses in a rage, and once the majesty of the imperial power exploded, how could three cowardly vassal kings be able to resist it.

The three of them lost their legs and knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian, begging for mercy:

"Your Majesty, we were all joking just now. I beg your Majesty to spare your life. I will never dare again. We don't want any land."

Zhu Youjian smiled coldly:

"Are you kidding me? You actually joked with me in our Great Ming court. This is a crime of contempt for the court and deceiving the emperor. You should withdraw and behead it to show the public."

"Yes"

A few Jinyi guards broke into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, grabbed them by the neck, twisted them up like an eagle grabbing a chicken, and left.

"Zhu Youjian, you can't treat us like this. If you kill us today, how will you face Emperor Taizu in the future?"

Zhu Youjian snorted coldly:

"Hmph, you still have the face to mention Emperor Taizu. If Taizu knew that there were unworthy descendants like you, he would have crawled out of the imperial mausoleum angrily and killed you."

"Your Majesty, no, they are all members of our Zhu family, so we can't kill them easily, and they haven't committed any serious crimes..."

No one in the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty pleaded for mercy, but these vassal kings pleaded for the three of them one after another.

Zhu Youjian looked at these princes disdainfully, and said coldly:

"They have already become traitors, betraying my Ming Dynasty, isn't it a heinous crime, then what is a heinous crime in your heart, is it that my Daming country is not as good as your little land?

I will start to settle accounts with you immediately, what qualifications do you have to intercede for them, if any intercedents commit the same crime as them, Qinglong will execute them! "

"Qinglong obeys orders"

Chapter 172

Zhu Youjian's face suddenly darkened.

Immediately, these vassal kings felt the majesty of imperial power.

Only then did they suddenly realize that the emperor had changed, becoming very decisive and resolute.

The previous indecision has completely disappeared without a trace now.

These feudal kings finally lowered their noble heads, not daring to intercede for those three hapless bastards.

Soon the wailing outside stopped, and Qinglong quickly walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and bowed to salute:

"Reporting to the emperor, the three princes have been executed."

"Very well, step aside."

"obey"

"My God, the emperor really killed the three vassals, all three of them are relatives of the emperor..."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very shocked. At first they thought that the emperor was scaring the three vassals.

And those feudal kings began to feel their legs go weak and their minds buzzing.

Zhu Youjian stepped down from the dragon seat and walked back and forth beside these vassal kings, which immediately made them even more panicked.

"Listen to me clearly, since I was in Taizu, there have been 87 princes and 934 county kings, but now there are only 25 princes and 154 county kings left.

Most of them were killed by rogues, and all of them were murdered. You are all lucky ones, and you should feel lucky that you are still alive.

You occupy the best land in Daming, not only do you not pay a penny of taxes, but you also receive a huge share of food and salaries from the imperial court. The salaries you receive account for about [-]% of the total grain output value of Daming.

The so-called officials forced the people to rebel.

The common people rebelled one after another because they couldn’t get enough to eat, and almost overthrew our Ming Dynasty, but you, pampered and occupied the good land of the common people.

Land reform is imperative.

If there is no reform, the people will rebel again.

You were their target then, ask yourselves.

If my Ming Dynasty is overthrown, there will be no living space for you vassal kings.

King Fu is stingy, and was boiled into Fushou soup by the bandits, have you all forgotten?

If you don't do anything, you will lose your fief, and now you have no shame in asking for it.

I give you a fief, if there is another bandit riot, can you hold it?
