"Crown Prince?"

Li Shizhen, Marquis of Yangwu Xue Lian, and Marquis of Linhuai Li Hongji were immediately dumbfounded.

Before they could react, the Jin Yiwei had already rushed forward and pulled the three of them off their horses.

The three of them were immediately thrown half to death. Before they could even cry out for pain, the Jin Yiwei tied them up tightly.

When the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division saw that Yin of Shuntian Prefecture was being tied up by the Jinyi Guards, their little soldiers, who dared to resist, knelt down and waited for punishment.

Many soldiers secretly cursed Li Shizhen for being shameless for bringing them to die. If they had known it was the crown prince who was besieging them, these soldiers would have definitely escaped halfway.

The three people who reacted immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Your Highness, I didn't know you were here. This is all a misunderstanding. Your Highness, please let me go. I will swear allegiance to the death..."

Zhu Cixiang looked at the three of them coldly, feeling angry and funny.

The loyalty of the three of them is zero. Li Shizhen is a civil servant and can understand a little bit.

However, the honorable man who has been raised by the imperial court for two hundred years has zero sincerity. This Zhu Cixiang finds it very funny!

Li Shizhen was also a second minister in history. The Marquis of Linhuai originally guarded the capital, but the capital was destroyed and he fled to the south of the Yangtze River. Later, Jiannu went south and surrendered. Both of them were complete traitors.

Although there is no information about Xue Lian's defection to the enemy, his character is extremely poor and he is riddled with corruption, bribery, oppression and plundering of the people.

How could Zhu Cixi need the loyalty of such two ministers and scum? They are all objects that need to be cleaned up.

Li Ruolian stepped forward and bowed:

"Your Highness, what should we do with the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division?"

"The soldier is not guilty, but he kills the culprit!"

"As you command!"

Li Ruolian took the order and immediately walked to the soldiers of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division and shouted loudly:

"The Crown Prince has an order to kill the culprit. The soldiers are not guilty. From now on, you must be loyal to your duties and do not bully the people. Go back!"

The soldiers dared to arrest the crown prince. They thought they would be severely punished, but they did not expect that they would be pardoned by the crown prince.

All the soldiers were so excited that tears filled their eyes, and they hurriedly kowtowed to the crown prince to thank him:

"Thank you, Crown Prince, for sparing your life. We will definitely change our ways!"

The diners who were quietly watching the excitement behind the windows gave thumbs up and praised the Crown Prince:

"Wang Liu, look, that young man is the crown prince, and he dares to publicly arrest nobles and civil servants. How courageous!"

"Yes, it is a great blessing to have such a crown prince..."

Zhu Cixiang casually pulled out three confessions and said:

"Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, Li Hongji, the Marquis of Linhuai, and Li Shizhen, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, took bribes and deceived the emperor. They led their troops to besiege the crown prince. They immediately removed the title, confiscated the family, and killed the three clans!"

"Follow your orders"

Li Ruolian's high literary talent immediately took the order.

The emperor has his own decree, the crown prince has the right to act expediently, and Zhu Cihong has full authority to deal with the two marquises.

Two marquises and a third-grade civil servant were wiped out from three clans in this way. Zhu Cixiang's decisiveness and ruthlessness made the soldiers present feel a slight chill on their backs.

They feel that following the crown prince is very enjoyable, but they must abide by the rules. Once they violate national laws and his bottom line, no one will escape death!

In order to get the money smoothly, Zhu Cixiang told Li Ruolian:

"All these dandies were taken to Jinyiweizhao Prison, and they were all beheaded if they did not pay money for three days. In order to frighten them, the sons of Yi of Shuntian Prefecture, the grandsons of Marquis Yangwu and Marquis Linhuai were beheaded in front of them on the way!"

"Follow your orders"

Huang Degong laughed when he heard this:

"Your Highness, behead three of them in front of those gangsters. I think all of them will be scared to death!"

The young eunuch Hu Bao patted Huang Degong on the shoulder and said:

"This is what I want. Who would be willing to take out two hundred thousand taels of silver easily?"

Yan Xiongying:

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver, I guess Your Highness will make these nobles and officials bankrupt. They deserve it!"

Zhu Cihong looked at his subordinates who were talking about each other and said:

"You underestimate those nobles too much. They have exploited the people and their subordinates for more than two hundred years. Their wealth is far more than 200,000 taels. I just asked them to bleed some blood first."

Zhu Cihong's words once again shocked his subordinates. It turned out that the noble nobleman was so wealthy.

However, many ordinary soldiers under his command are living in difficulty. If they were not starving to death as soldiers, many soldiers would run away.

Sun Yingyuan shook his head and said:

"Your Highness, many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty now have trouble even eating, which is also the main reason for the weakening of combat effectiveness. These nobles are really disgusting, and the military restructuring is imminent!"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"Before you joined the East Palace Guards, were you often deducted and owed military pay?

There are also soldiers who have become free tenants of the guards officers. Do you hate your superiors?"

The soldiers almost said in unison:

"I hate it, of course I hate it. Almost all of our brothers and family members have starved to death. Many times we feel that being a soldier is worse than being a bandit. Only after joining the East Palace Guards did I realize how delicious it is to follow His Highness!"

Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan were both generals who had been promoted from ordinary soldiers to meritorious service. They also understood this deeply. Although they did not agree with the soldiers, they all shook their heads helplessly.

Zhu Cixiang's eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers one by one, and after a moment he asked seriously:

"As my subordinates, many of you may be knighted in the future. A hundred years from now, your descendants will be like these nobles today. How will you feel at that time?"

Hearing that many of them would be knighted, the soldiers present instantly became excited. However, they were soon shocked by the Crown Prince's words, and the scene instantly fell silent.

The soldiers looked at me, I looked at you, and were speechless for a moment. They hated the nobles and generals for squeezing the soldiers below, but if their descendants would really do this, what should they do...

Seeing that no one under his command could answer, Zhu Cihong continued:

"Only when you have personally experienced the suffering of others can you understand the hardships of the soldiers at the bottom.

Therefore, in order to prevent your descendants from becoming a cancer of the Ming Dynasty, I have decided to cancel the hereditary inheritance of your titles.

Canceling hereditary inheritance will not cause any survival problems within five generations, and future generations can still rise again if they have the ability.

For example, if Zhou Yuji is granted the title of Duke, his next generation will be a marquis, earl, baron, viscount, general..."

If you don't do anything within five generations, you will still be a general. If you continue to sit back and wait to die, then the next few generations will become ordinary people.

Even if you become an ordinary person, as long as you don't ruin your family, there will still be no problem in survival.

There were only three people present, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, and Sun Yingyuan, who had reached the rank of general, and the others were at most a thousand households.

Thinking that once they were knighted in the future, the following generations would be much higher than their current level. The soldiers present sincerely supported the crown prince's decision.

Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan led the generals to express their stance:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, no matter what decision you make, the general and his subordinates will fully support you!"

Zhu Cixi smiled and nodded:

"Thank you for your support, soldiers. You will be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty and ZTE in the future. I will lead you to kill all the demons and monsters that hinder the Ming Dynasty and ZTE. Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

The soldiers immediately shouted:

"Long live the Ming Dynasty..."

The East Palace Guards completely regarded the restaurant as a martial arts arena, and their cheers could be heard throughout the restaurant.

Customers who witnessed the mighty power of the crown prince were excited, and some also shouted long live the Ming Dynasty...
