"Ungracious, if you didn't save his life, you wouldn't be what he is today?" Zhu Yunxiu slapped the table and roared angrily. He didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was Zhu Zi, the King of Tan.

Li Jie looked at Zhu Yunxie who was so angry that he walked back and forth, and smiled slightly, "People's hearts are separated from their belly. No one expected that the King of Tan would have such great ambitions. The evidence is conclusive now, but the King of Tan is special, so His Majesty still has to decide for himself."

Zhu Yunxiu stopped when he heard this, and showed a hesitant look on his face. Although the King of Tan committed a serious crime, the other party was his uncle after all. When Lao Zhu was alive, he could punish princes such as Zhu Chuang and Zhu Qi, but that was my punishment for his son, which was completely different from Zhu Yunxiu.

"Tell the king of Tan to the world and arrest him immediately and take him back to the capital for punishment!" Zhu Yunxi finally gritted his teeth and said. Although Zhu Zi was his uncle, he was obviously on Li Jie's side and he must not be allowed to intercept Li Jie in the first place.

"Not appropriate!" Unexpectedly, Li Jie shook his head and said.

"Why is it inappropriate?" Zhu Yunxi asked in a daze when he heard this.

"You think, when Emperor Taizu was alive, someone sued King Tan to participate in the rebellion, but he almost burned himself to death. This shows that King Tan was a timid man, so he only dared to do something in secret. If his crime was made public, he might have to do something like self-immolation again, and then he would be injustice to His Majesty!" Li Jie analyzed.

Ambitions must have courage. Zhu Zi is the representative of it, and the inertia of history is quite great. Li Jie is worried that Zhu Zi will follow the old path, so he will burn himself if he doesn't convict him at that time. As a result, Zhu Yunxiu's side has made him unreasonable.

"That's true. Then don't announce his crime first, just send someone to Changsha quietly, and then directly surround the royal palace before he reacts and catches him in the capital to question!" Zhu Yunxiu said immediately again.

"Not even!" Li Jie shook his head again.

"Why?" Zhu Yunxiu was also speechless. Why was it wrong to do anything by himself?

"You think, after all, King Tan is the prince and his majesty's uncle. Even if they send the Jinyiwei, they dare not arrest King Tan easily. If King Tan commits suicide while the person is unprepared, then His Majesty will be passive."

Li Jie is not an exaggeration. For example, like another Tan King Zhu Bo who died of self-immolation, he was the first to use Zhu Yunwen in history to perform surgery. The operation method was exactly the same as what Zhu Yunsheng said. He first sent someone to make up a caravan, and then surrounded the royal palace in one fell swoop. As a result, Zhu Bo died of self-immolation in anger.

Therefore, the prince's identity is very troublesome. Even if he is guilty, the people below dare not do anything to them. They even have considerable freedom. Moreover, the prince's conviction must be tried by the emperor himself and finally dealt with by the clan's mansion. The Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple is not qualified to take care of the prince's affairs at all.

"What should I do? You can't just let it go, right?" Zhu Yunxiu said helplessly at this time.

"That's not, others dare not arrest the prince, but what if the prince was asked to arrest the prince?" Li Jie smiled sly. He had considered this issue on the way back, so he had a solution to it.

"Prince arrested the prince?" Zhu Yunxi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he clapped his hands and said excitedly, "I understand, brother-in-law, are you talking about King Xiang?"

"No, it's King Xiang!" Li Jie said with a laugh.

King Xiang was quite innocent and did nothing, but was used as a shield by King Tan, so Li Jie planned to send someone to notify him, knowing that King Xiang was as harsh as a fire and would never show mercy to King Tan.

"Good solution. I will write an imperial edict to the King of Xiang. Then someone will send it to him quietly. Jingzhou is not far from Changsha, so it is very convenient for him to capture the King of Tan!" Zhu Yunxiu said excitedly when he heard this.

However, when he said this, Zhu Yunxiu suddenly blinked and hesitated for a moment and said again: "Brother-in-law, although the incident of the Tan King this time was unexpected, it is actually reasonable. After all, the vassal kings in these places hold real power, so they will inevitably have other thoughts. Now that the court is strong, most of them dare not act rashly, but if they relax a little in the future, they may repeat the old story of the Eight Kings Rebellion."

When Li Jie heard Zhu Yunyu re-introducing the vassal of the vassals, he also showed a deep expression. When Zhu Yunyu ascended the throne, he had the intention to reduce the vassals. Fortunately, he was persuaded by him. After all, Zhu Yunyu's foundation was unstable at that time. If he was eager to reduce the vassals, he might have followed Zhu Yunwen's old path.

However, the time is ripe now. Through external wars and internal reforms, Zhu Yunqi has firmly grasped the imperial power. It can be said that even if Zhu Yunqi's prestige is not as good as Lao Zhu, it is almost the same.

So in this case, reducing the vassal states has become a must-have. After all, with these vassal states in China who hold military power, they will definitely not be at ease as the emperor. In addition, Zhu Di and Zhu Xi, the most powerful vassal states, were driven out of the Ming Dynasty, either voluntarily or passively, and the remaining vassal states are much easier to deal with.

Thinking of this, Li Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked at Zhu Yunxiu and said, "What is Your Majesty planning to do?"

Seeing that Li Jie no longer objected, Zhu Yunxiu was also happy. He stood up and turned to the bookshelf next to him, then took out a booklet and placed it in front of Li Jie and said, "Brother-in-law, look, this is something I wrote when I was bored. Maybe it's a bit unripe. Please help me add it!"

Li Jie opened the book and looked at it, and found that this was a plan to reduce the vassal states. The handwriting on it was new and old, and there were many traces of modification. It was obviously Zhu Yunxuan spent a lot of effort and time writing it.

Li Jie carefully read the contents of this booklet and found that this plan was similar to Zhu Yunwen's plan to reduce the vassals in history. At the beginning, they all attacked some weaker vassal kings, and finally attacked the strongest vassal kings.

Speaking of the fact that Zhu Yunwen in history has been a prodigal man, his strategy of reducing the power of the vassal state is not very big. The key is that the people who implement the entire strategy are too much, especially for a dog-headed military advisor like Huang Zicheng. No matter how good the strategy falls into their hands, it will only cause chaos in the end.

After Li Jie finished watching, Zhu Yunxiu said again: "If you want to reduce the vassal states, you need a reason to stand firm. This time the matter of King Tan is a good excuse."
