Chapter 303 Counterattack

King Rui's memorial was soon arrived at the Tongzheng Department. It was logical that it should be sent to Wenzhao Pavilion, but it was directly transferred to the Sili Supervisor, and then the imperial court issued a notice to the Ministry of Revenue and the Zongren Office to discuss it together.

This caused a huge shock in the government and the public, especially for the royal family and vassal kings who were still in Beijing.

Inside Wen Zhao Pavilion.

Zhu Youjian sat in the main seat, with Qian Longxi, Shi Fenglai, Huang Liji and others sitting in the two rows in the lower front respectively.

Qian Longxi looked cold and said, "I'm afraid that King Rui's move was also the emperor's instructions. He insisted on 'reducing the vassal state'."

Everyone understood that the "reducing of the vassal state" in Qian Longxi's dialect was not the removal of the military power, fiefs, etc. of the vassal kings during the Chengzu period, but the removal of their "sui Lu". Once this happens, there is nothing left in the royal family except for their reputation.

Shi Fenglai frowned and looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Prince, my Ming Dynasty is in trouble, and I need the vassal king to take charge of all directions. The emperor did this to be like breaking his own wings, which would make the world more unstable..."

Huang Liji also said: "These are still in the future. The royal family has a long history and is deeply rooted. It is definitely not easy to deal with. The emperor has just ascended the throne and the world has not surrendered. He cannot say that he forcibly cut off the vassal states, and he may have a big trouble!"

Others also agreed very much, and they all condemned Emperor Zhu Xu with every word.

Zhu Youjian's expression remained unchanged, but he was thinking about the secret conversation with Yuan Chonghuan that night.

He felt that Yuan Chonghuan was right. He needed to endure and was not strong enough to restrain Zhu Xu's chaos. He must endure and not release it. He secretly accumulates strength. At the same time, he must quietly weaken Zhu Xu's power.

After a while, Zhu Youjian said lightly, "I will discuss this matter with the emperor, so I will suspend the discussion for the time being. This year's official assessment, Enke, and Jingcha, will there be any reports?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Whether it is official assessment, Shizi Enke, or North-South/Beijing Cha, each one is extremely important, especially Beijing Cha, which is the most effective and powerful weapon to combat dissidents and cultivate private individuals!

Everyone here remembers how Zhao Nanxing used it back then. Overnight, all the non-Donglin party members were "uncareful" and "impatient", so they either went home to farm or drove them away.

In the court, there were many people in the court, and there were Donglin Party members everywhere!

Look at me, I look at you. After a while, Qian Longxi said: "The Ministry of Personnel did not report, and there was no movement in the Censorate."

The assessment of officials is in the Ministry of Personnel, and the imperial examination involves a lot, but it is also mostly in the Ministry of Personnel. The Beijing Procuratorate is a joint effort by the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate.

Zhu Youjian frowned, and understood in his heart that Zhu Xu had no idea about this matter. He was afraid that neither the Ministry of Personnel nor the Censorate would submit it to him. He took a deep breath and said indifferently: "Send someone to urge the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate to report it to me as soon as possible."

Qian Longxi and others became much more honest after Zhu Xu's last beating, and they just agreed after hearing this.

In the imperial study room, King Ping walked in with a big belly and smiled, "I have met the emperor."

Zhu Xu liked the emperor's uncle, walked out of the imperial table and smiled, "Uncle, don't be too polite, why do you think about entering the palace today?"

King Ping shrank his sleeves and looked harmless, and smiled and said, "Didn't the emperor say that he would go to my mansion to listen to the opera last time? I haven't seen the emperor for so long. I won't come here to ask, so I'd better prepare early."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and smiled, "Wait a few more days, and then see what the princes are suitable, and go to the uncle's mansion together."

King Ping listened to Zhu Xu's words and stopped whispering, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I actually came for the matter of King Rui."

Zhu Xu walked out the door with his hands behind his back, breathed a sigh of relief, moved his stiff shoulders, and said, "Well, I have read his memoir, I am sincere."

King Ping didn't know how to understand the four words "true love and sincere" and turned his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, then look, how should you deal with King Rui be better? The clan mansion must show an attitude..."

Zhu Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course I want to sell the face of the emperor, but he caused such a big disturbance alone, and he had already finished his sentence. Isn't it a little easier?"

King Ping couldn't turn his mind for a moment and said, "What does the emperor mean?"

Zhu Xu turned around and said, "Uncle Emperor, how about the Governor General Yuan you asked you to raise?"

King Ping was stunned. Zhu Xu's topic changed too quickly. He took it over and said, "I have been preparing for it. I have not discussed it with King Lu and King Jin, but this must be submitted to King Xin for approval first..."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Uncle, go and prepare."

King Ping watched Zhu Xu strode into the imperial study room, instinctively wanted to follow, and shouted, "That emperor..."

Liu Shimin stepped forward and stopped him and said, "Prince, please go back."

King Ping looked at Liu Shimin and said, "Then, what happened to King Rui..."

Liu Shimin smiled slightly, turned around and walked in quickly with Zhu Xu.

Ping Wang was stunned for a while, a little confused, so he had to turn around and leave the palace in a confused manner.

In the Zhou Palace, the Zhou King, Dai King, and Shu King gathered together, and their faces were not very good-looking.

A memorial from King Rui stated that the salary was sufficient and there was no need for food. Isn’t this a slap in the face naked?

They all have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of hectares of land!

Isn’t King Rui cooperated with the emperor in disguise and forced them to hand over the land?

With such a leader, if there is a second or third one, they will be waxed!

King Zhu Gongzi of Zhou looked gloomy and said, "This is a miscalculation. I didn't expect King Rui to be so useless. He gave in just a few hours and handed over the food field!"

The King of Dai Zhu Naijun also had no good expression and said coldly: "What should I do now? I'm afraid someone will follow the trend soon, and we won't be able to do it!"

The two of them vented their abilities and looked at the King of Shu who was silent.

Zhu Zhishu's eyes were cold and he sneered: "I wanted to let the little emperor go like this, but I didn't expect that King Rui would help him in a confused manner. It's good that I have to give him some good looks."

Zhu Gongzi and Zhu Naijun were both stunned and said, "King of Shu, do you have any other way?"

Zhu Zhishu smiled proudly and said, "At most three days, you can wait and see."

Zhu Gongzi and Zhu Naijun looked at each other, feeling a little worried, but they could only wait and see.

Not long after King Ping returned, he woke up and summoned King Rui, King Jin, King Lu and others to discuss the affairs of the Governor of the State Council.

King Rui was more concerned about this matter than King Ping, while King Lu and King Jin were eager to participate because they had the power to take over.

It took only three days to report to Wenzhao Pavilion in the name of the clan mansion. The King of Xin was puzzled and then felt terrified.
