Chapter 51 Why are you panicking? (Please read it!)

Prince Yan's Mansion, inner hall.

Zhu Di is sitting in the first place. To his left is the black-robed monk Dao Yan, and to his right is the fat Zhu Gaochi. Below Zhu Gaochi are Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

"Second brother, you should leave for Beiyuan immediately after nightfall. You must meet Wang Baobao."

"When I met him, I told him that as long as his army stays at the border of Yan for one day, I will take care of his food for one day."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu, his voice cold.

For Bei Yuan, who had not yet finished his meal, and only needed Chen Bing to take care of the food, this deal was simply not worth it.

"Dad, we are at a huge disadvantage if we do this."

"That kid Zhu Su should share half of it, more or less. We can't let this kid take advantage of it without paying."

Zhu Gaoxu was very unhappy.

The 19th son of Lao Zhu, Zhu Su, the king of the valley, had his fiefdom in the upper left corner of the Yan region. The place where he joined the feudal vassal was Xuanfu.

According to Dao Yan's strategy of "protecting oneself from trouble", this is equivalent to protecting the Valley King Zhu Su.

Zhu Su is only nineteen years old now, and is only one year older than Zhu Gaoxu. They both hung out together in Yingtian when they were young, and there is no uncle-nephew tone in their tone.

Zhu Laosi's eyes were deep. He didn't know much about his 19th brother Zhu Su, who was 19 years younger than him. After all, there were countless generation gaps between them, and when Zhu Su was born, Zhu Di had already passed away.

As far as the feudal lord was concerned, the two of them had never met each other a few times.

Zhu Laosi will definitely not be able to suffer losses.

"Boss, take my handwritten letter to Xuan Mansion tomorrow."

The fat man nodded.

In terms of age, he is one year older than Zhu Su, who is nineteen years old. When he was in Yingtian in his early years, Zhu Su even ate mud from behind him, and there was a certain friendship between the two.

"Tonight, I will host a banquet in honor of all the generals."

Speaking of this, Zhu Laosi had a gleam of coldness in his eyes.

Within the territory of Yan, the defense of all armies was controlled by the King of Yan, but several of the main generals among the border troops guarding the town and the generals of the Dusi Guard were appointed by the imperial court.

After all, I didn’t promote him myself, so I’m not sure if he is of the same mind.

Zhu Laosi wants to completely defeat those generals in Yandi tonight.

In fact, this is not only the case in Yan, but also in all vassals.

When the kings came to the vassal, they had the power to control the military affairs of the vassal. However, except for the royal guards (the prince's three guards, one guard with a number of 3,000 to 19,000 people) were absolutely in his hands, and the guards guarding the edges of the town were absolutely in their hands.

More than half of the generals in both the army and the capital guard were appointed by the imperial court.

In the past, I didn't dare to make any decisions because Lao Zhu was young and powerful, but now that Lao Zhu is about to die, everyone wants to get rid of these people and replace them with their own people.

The reason why it is said that only half of them were appointed by the imperial court is because this policy was only implemented in the late period of Lao Zhu.

In the early days of Lao Zhu, the power of the vassal king in the vassal territory was supreme, and the vassal king could directly exercise the power of life and death, regardless of the common people or military officers and ministers under his rule.

The vassal king could also set up his own small court like the emperor, and all civil and military officials would go to visit him every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. The authority of the special envoys under the vassal king was even greater than that of the local three departments.

Because of this, in the middle and late Hongwu period, the vassal kings were good at killing ministers and officials, and more and more lawless incidents occurred in the vassal territory.

At the end of the Hongwu period, Lao Zhu felt that it was not a problem to continue making trouble like this, so he made some restrictions, but most of them were limited to the appointment of officials and the jurisdiction of the vassal king over these officials. The military power of the vassal king remained unchanged and remained restrained.

All military affairs in the domain.

Generally speaking, high-ranking local officials are appointed by the court. If a high-ranking local official offends the local vassal king, he must be handed over to the central court for conviction. The vassal king has no right to make private decisions.

In essence, it deprived the vassal king of the power of life and death over the vassal officials. Lao Zhu's original intention was to suppress the arrogance of his sons and did not take into account military power.

But it is actually nonsense. There are too many examples in history. The vassal king handed a book to Yingtian, and the impeached officials were pulled out and impeached within a few days.

"Dad, then, what should I do?"

When Zhu Gaosui saw that the boss and the second child both had tasks, Zhu Di didn't mention him at all, so he couldn't help but ask.

The four people in the room all looked at Zhu Gaosui, their eyes full of "what can you do?"

At this moment, Zhu Gaosui wanted to slap the table and say something.

How dare you look down on me!

Arrogant!

………………

The land of Qin, the palace of the Prince of Qin.

Zhu Fang was looking at his precious eldest son with tears on his face. Zhu Shangbing had his clothes open, and the big 'X'-shaped knife mark that had not yet scarred was shocking.

"Zhu Xiongying, this bastard, how dare you torture my prince like this!"

Zhu Shangbing knelt down with a thud.

"Father!"

"You must avenge your child!"

"If the mother and concubine knew that the child was like this underground, she would definitely be heartbroken and suffocated!"

After saying this, Zhu Shangbing burst into tears.

"When I think of my mother-in-law, my children, my children..."

Seeing Zhu Shangbing crying bitterly and mentioning his favorite Deng family, Zhu Xi's eyes turned red, and overwhelming anger condensed in his eyes.

"Before Concubine You committed suicide, my father promised that he would not let you suffer any harm."

"But today, my father broke his promise."

"Shang Bing, don't worry, my father will not let go of anyone who has hurt you, and will make them suffer a thousand times the pain!"

"Tomorrow my father will send an envoy to Beiyuan."

Mentioning Bei Yuan, Zhu Shangbing's eyes showed a fierce look.

"Father, I will go in person!"

"As long as I can borrow the Beiyuan Iron Cavalry, my father's winning rate when he takes over Yingtian can be increased by another 30%!"

The father and son looked at each other, Zhu Ping nodded, and then helped Zhu Shangbing stand up with a distressed look on his face.

"Father, what's wrong with your hair and beard?"

Zhu Shangbing looked at his perverted dad. Xiao Yiyue was gone. He found that his perverted dad's hair and beard were becoming more and more stylish, and he actually had an indescribable explosive beauty.

"I've been on fire lately."

Of course Zhu Xi didn't want to say that he was struck by lightning.

Getting angry?

How big of a deal is this?

Although Zhu Shangbing didn't believe it, he nodded.

"Father, the court now thinks that I am dead. As long as my father kills me and shows no intention of rebellion, the court will be helpless. Tomorrow, my father will write another apology form and send an envoy eight hundred miles to rush to Yingtian."

"I believe that the emperor will not condone Zhu Xiongying's actions after seeing your apology form."

"You also know that the imperial grandfather has always been soft-hearted towards you sons, not to mention that you are his second son."

Zhu Shangbing reminded in a serious voice.

Zhu Xiang nodded, and he was familiar with writing an apology form to Lao Zhu. He had written it countless times.

Although the father and son are perverted, they still have some brains. They know that before everything is ready, they still have to delay the time.

As long as you don't pull the flag, the imperial court has no reason to send troops.

After all, he, Zhu Xiang, was the emperor's second son, the younger brother of the prince, and the head of the vassals.

At this moment, a guard rushed in rolling and crawling.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, something bad has happened!"

The guard's face was full of panic. After entering and kneeling on the ground, he actually slipped and shoveled a short distance away.

"Why are you panicking?"

Zhu Shangbing looked calm.

"The imperial court's arrest documents for His Highness the Crown Prince have arrived!"

Zhu Fang and Zhu Shangbing lost all composure for an instant and were stunned.

Before the two of them could calm down, another guard rushed into the hall and knelt down in a panic to salute.

"Your Highness, Duke Liang Lan Yu has arrived three miles outside the palace!"

Lan Yu: If you don’t vote, how can I carry a knife?
