Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Changxun left Dongnuan Pavilion. This Dongnuan Pavilion, which he had visited countless times before, had brought him too many good things.

However, all this came to an end.

Zhu Changxun wanted to break free. He wanted to ask the emperor why he was so unfeeling towards him and why he showed no affection to him. However, the military eunuch holding him did not give him such a chance.

For some reason, Zhu Changxun discovered that he had lost his voice! !

The sky is still so sunny.

The high sun is very dazzling.

Qianqing Palace is the same as before, with majesty everywhere!

"Get up."

A voice sounded in Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion and looked at Wei Zhongxian who was kneeling on the ground. The moment Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was taken away, Wei Zhongxian was kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Zhongxian, who was feeling uneasy, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

He was really scared!

Although when he left the capital with the order, Wei Zhongxian thought that Prince Fu was summoned to the capital, and it was most likely that his own prince had murderous intentions.

But Wei Zhongxian did not expect that his own prince would say such words.

Fortunately, the case of Xiyuan falling into the water will exist for a long time in the future. Anyone who dares to do anything that is unworthy of the Ming Dynasty will be included in it.

This reminded Wei Zhongxian of the four major Hongwu cases!

In the Hongwu Dynasty, because of these important cases decided by the emperor, the civil and military officials in the central court, as well as the founding nobles, local officials, and even gentry and scholars were implicated in countless cases, and the whole world was horrified by the murders!

"How did Wei Banban arrange the raid on Zhuhuangzhuang in Zhili, Shejibei?" Zhu Youxiao leaned forward, picked up the tea cup on the imperial desk, and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, all the slaves and maids have been arranged."

Wei Zhongxian stood up and hurriedly raised his hands and bowed: "Everything is done in accordance with the emperor's will. Those traitors who were confiscated by the Dongji Bureau, except for gold, silver and jewelry, were all delivered to the capital, and the stolen fields were placed under the name of the emperor." , the stolen food was escorted to the Disaster Relief Office..."

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's confession, Zhu Youxiao smiled, reached out and lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip of tea. He was still very relieved about Wei Zhongxian's ability.

With these confiscated items, the internal funds will only become richer, and the most important point is that the Disaster Relief Office headed by Sun Chuanting will no longer have to worry about food in the short term.

Whether it is gathering refugees to implement work-for-relief, or recruiting brave men to form an army, there is no need to worry about food supply. This will play an extremely positive role in the order and stability of the capital.

"I have another errand that I need Wei Banban to handle personally."

Zhu Youxiao put down the tea cup, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said.

"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian bowed again.

"Select a group of loyal and reliable people for me and send them to various vassals, mainly princes and princes, to find out for me how they perform under the rule of the vassal."

Zhu Youxiao said in a low tone: "I don't want outsiders to know about this matter. I want to know whether they have forced good girls into prostitution, annexed land, bullied the market and other evil deeds under the rule of the vassal."

"The servant understands."

Wei Zhongxian immediately expressed his position: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter with all my heart, and I will never disappoint Your Majesty."

It was also at this moment that Wei Zhongxian knew that his prince would probably attack the vassal in the future.

Although the imperial court has stopped paying homage to the vassals, for the imperial court, there are too many places where money is needed at the moment.

As for these sects and vassals, they knew that the imperial court had many difficulties before, but none of them sympathized with the imperial court.

This time I went to Luoyang according to the order, and after knowing everything about Prince Fu's Mansion, Wei Zhongxian finally knew about these vassals. I am afraid that each of them will live a more comfortable life than anyone else!

"Go."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "This matter will be implemented as soon as possible."

"Here!"

Wei Zhongxian bowed before bowing.

Zhu Youxiao did not have a good impression of the vassal groups in the Ming Dynasty. The pig-raising policy implemented for a long time in the Ming Dynasty had long ago caused the collapse of most of the vassal clans.

Although they are all descendants of the Zhu family, they don't care much about the Zhu family Sheji at all, and many of them even do things to harm the Zhu family Sheji.

However, it is not an easy task for the vassal to reorganize the system. It requires sufficient patience. If you do not foresee everything, it will be ruined. If you want to solve this heavy burden, you must fully understand the actual situation.

"The only thing that can get rid of this heavy burden is the overseas relocation policy."

Zhu Youxiao got up from the throne, walked to a hanging map, fixed his eyes on one place, and muttered to himself, "But if we want this national policy to gain a firm foothold, the imperial court's contribution alone is not enough." , we need to select some people who can drive from these sects and clans, otherwise it will be like a castle in the air, which will collapse when the wind blows."

Deep down in Zhu Youxiao's heart, although he hated this group of sects and vassals who could only do nothing but worms, no matter how much he hated them, he could not act too arbitrarily.

After all, there are others more extreme than them.

That's the many groups that enjoy privilege everywhere.

According to various records in historical materials, it is said that the Ming Dynasty was brought down by Zongfan. This is completely nonsense, and Zongfan is just one of them.

What is even more hateful is the privileged Jin gentry group in various places. Even if the Zongfan is powerful in the local area, there are various restrictions on them in the Ming Dynasty. However, there are no restrictions on the Jin Gentry group. Their scale is much larger than the Zongfan. .

The reason why there is such a one-sided situation in historical materials is purely because history books are written by the victors. As the roots of the old dynasty, if you don't throw dirty water on the Zhu family, how can you throw it on yourself?

Those weak-kneed civil servants are becoming shameless one by one, but they are much more ruthless than my cousin!

"You still have to hold on to the barrel of the gun. Without the barrel of the gun, you won't have the confidence to do anything."

Zhu Youxiao, who was staring at the map, thought of all that had happened recently, and his determination in his heart became even firmer, "Whether it is to solve the vassal issue or other problems, as long as it touches their vested interests, which one If someone is not intimidated, he will definitely take risks."

After experiencing many things, Zhu Youxiao has a deeper understanding of being alone.

It is true that the emperor holds great power, but at the same time he is lonely. After all, most of the things the emperor wants to do are from the perspective of maintaining rule, but this is also the case, which will inevitably cause a lot of dissatisfaction, and when the dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain level , that will explode.

The struggle in the power field is never as peaceful as what the outside world sees. The swords and swords hidden behind it are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Therefore, for the emperor, there is no way to go. If you make a wrong move, you may lose everything!
