"Your Majesty, it's almost done. We don't want to be petty, there's nothing to add."

They all thought that the emperor summoned him to negotiate with them. If they wanted them to cooperate with the reform, the emperor would give them enough benefits.

"Bang..."

Zhu Cilang suddenly split the Long Shu case with a palm. These arrogant vassal kings were also shocked. How could the little emperor have such great strength?

"The natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Red Cliff are everywhere, and the bandits are raging, and Jiannu has repeatedly attacked the pass. During the national crisis, you don't see you spend a penny to save the disaster. Now the situation has just improved, so you stretch out your hand of greed.

All the imperial villages of my father and mother were distributed to refugees. I did not leave a single acre of my imperial village, and all of them were given to the soldiers who fought for the Ming Dynasty. It was so difficult for you to hand over the occupied land?"

As the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, you are so shameless that you live for nothing. How can you get the eggs after you collapse your nest? Do you not understand? Do you want to force me to ban your fiefdom?"

There are two vassal kings in a province, and a large amount of land is occupied by you, and millions of people are my Daming people. How can they survive?

Emperor Hongwu was also born in a poor family, and his family almost starved to death. If the people cannot survive, will there be a figure like Emperor Hongen appear among them?

Now that Mongolia has been pacified, Jiannu has been destroyed, Mongolia and Liaodong have a large amount of land. If anyone dares to create it again, I don’t mind putting his fiefdom in the deserted northeast.”

...

The vassal kings who were still arrogant just now suddenly felt a huge murderous aura covering them. They never thought that the emperor turned against each other faster than reading books. It turned out that Xiao Shaxing really refused to recognize his relatives...

The emperor was furious and buried a million corpses, and Emperor Shenwu was even more comparable to the ancestor. Once the majesty of imperial power broke out, it would be impossible for these timid vassal kings who were as timid as rats to resist.

The poor mountains and rivers in the northeast are rampant, and these vassal kings cannot recruit soldiers and horses. Sooner or later, they will be destroyed by the barbarians. The little emperor wants to use the barbarians to get rid of them...

Although he was afraid, some vassal kings were still very dissatisfied. The King of Chu was the first to express his objection:

"Emperor, our fiefdom is granted by the late emperor. If you change the status quo, it will violate the ancestral system..."

When he heard that the King of Chu mentioned the ancestral system, some vassal kings immediately became confident. The King of Qin in Shaanxi immediately stood up to agree:

"Yes, the emperor cannot violate the ancestral system, otherwise how can he be worthy of his ancestors..."

The King of Jin in Shanxi immediately expressed his support:

"This king discusses that the King of Chu and King of Qin are right..."

Under the leadership of the three of them, more than a dozen vassal kings raised objections, and they did not believe that Zhu Cilang dared to violate the ancestral system.

When the vassal kings were talking about it, the vassal kings with fiefs in Henan were very honest. They remained silent and were worried that Emperor Shenwu would enfeoff them to Liaodong.

The Ming Dynasty granted eleven vassal kings in Henan, and Henan became one of the areas with relatively dense vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty.

There are King Zhou, King Hui of Kaifeng Prefecture, King Tang of Nanyang Prefecture, King Ru of Weihui Prefecture, King Lu of Henan Prefecture, King Fu of Yi, King Xiu of Runing Prefecture, and King Chong of Chong of Runing Prefecture.

Among them, the King of Wei in Huaiqing Prefecture, although his fiefdom was also in Henan, he did not belong to the vassal.

Zhu Youjian, the eleventh son of Emperor Xianzong. He became a vassal of Wei Hui in the 14th year of Hongzhi, died in the 20th year of Jiajing, and had no son and was exterminated.

King Xiuhuai Zhu Jianshu was the fifth son of Emperor Yingzong. He was granted the title of the first year of Tianshun and became a vassal of Runing in the sixth year of Chenghua. He died in the eighth year of Chenghua. He had no son and was granted the title of the title.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Henan was a vassal province in the Ming Dynasty, and eleven kings were enfeoffed here one after another. The entire Ming Dynasty was granted a title of prince, and there were fifty people who founded the country in vassal states, which was known as half of the land in Zhongzhou.

Although two vassal kings were expelled from the title and the Fu King of Luoyang was destroyed, there were still eight vassal kings who were still in Henan.

In one Henan Province, there are actually nine fiefs of the vassal kings, which makes them feel that their fiefs are very dangerous, so they seem very obedient and even brings eye to other vassal kings.

You should know that Henan Province is no longer the Henan Province that was starving thousands of miles away from the Red Cliff in the late Ming Dynasty. Under the Li Yan's land reform, Henan has already shown a prosperous scene.

Compared with Liaodong, which is far away and extremely climate, the nine vassal kings in Henan are trembling. How dare they sing the opposite tune with Emperor Shenwu?

Especially after Zhu Cilang proposed to change his fiefdom, these nine vassal kings became supporters of Emperor Shenwu, and even Zhu Cilang felt a little surprised.

The first one to stand out was the Tang King from Nanyang:

"The Emperor, for the sake of the country and country of the Ming Dynasty and the stable life of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Palace followed the emperor's decision and was willing to hand over the land and shops that had been occupied over the years, and asked the emperor to send someone to Nanyang to investigate..."

King Lu had already communicated with Zhu Cixuan. In the past two years, he became Prince Xiaoyao and almost traveled to the prosperous places of the Ming Dynasty.

The royal palace is not short of money. Compared with the freedom of the vassal kings, what is the land? Could it be that the emperor can starve them to death, such as the descendants of the Zhu family?

So he immediately stood up and attached to King Tang:

"The Lord, the Lu Wang Mansion is like the Tang Mansion, and is willing to follow all the emperor's decisions, as long as the tribe members are not allowed to starve to death..."

After the death of the King of Fu in Luoyang, the King of Zhou, whose fief is in Kaifeng, can be said to be the dominant one in Henan. Almost half of the shops in Kaifeng have the shadow of the royal palace, and it is also the vassal king with the strongest financial resources among the vassal kings.

Seeing that King Tang and King Lu jumped out, he hurriedly said:

"The Zhou royal palace is a large population and is willing to hand over the land and half of the shops occupied for more than a hundred years. I hope the emperor can understand..."

The King of Zhou was willing to hand over the land occupied, but he was not unwilling to hand over all the shops. He was worried that his tribe members would starve to death. Despite this, he was much more generous than the vassal kings outside Henan.

After the Zhou King, several other vassal kings also spoke out for support, and nine of the twenty-five vassal kings supported Emperor Shenwu, which made the other vassal kings curse in their hearts.

But they still pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to hear what the vassal kings with fiefs in Henan said, and all bowed their heads and said nothing more...

Zhu Cilang nodded to Zhou, Tang, Lu and other vassal kings with a smile, expressing his approval of them, and then his face darkened and said:

"You said I violated the ancestral system? Have I been punishing the ancestral system since I was in charge of the country? Do you still care about this time? As long as I can save the Ming Dynasty from water and fire, I don't mind violating the ancestral system every day.

The times are progressing. The Ming Dynasty has existed for more than two hundred years. Some things are no longer suitable for the environment more than two hundred years ago, and are not suitable for the ancestral system of today's environment. They must be changed."

Zhu Ciyang's words shocked some vassal kings to widen their eyes. Is this what an emperor should say? He actually wanted to overthrow the ancestral system. It's really a rebellious thing...

Before they could react from the shock, Zhu Cilang spoke slowly:

"Emperor Gao of Hongwu established his capital in Nanjing, but after the Jingzhao Chengzu went to move the capital to Beijing, and Emperor Gao of Hongwu was forbidden from the sea, but Chengzu ordered Zheng He to voyage to the West.

What is the result? All nations come to worship. Today's Ming Dynasty is prosperous. Do you dare to say that Chengzu is contrary to the ancestral system?

This is due to the progress of the times. Emperor Gao of Hongwu banned the sea because there were many Chen Youliang and others on the sea to cause rebellion, and the sea was banned for the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

But they were perfectly solved during the Chengzu period, so there was Zheng He's feat of voyage to the West, the financial and material support of Chengzu's several northern expeditions, and the security of the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

Like Chengzu, I have some things that seem unscrupulous, not for my personal considerations or the royal family, but for the peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty and the country and people.

If the Ming Dynasty can enter a prosperous era again, if the Ming people can live and work in peace, if the Ming Dynasty can stand on the top of the world again for a hundred or even a thousand years, I will not hesitate to kill all the demons and monsters in this world.

Of course, people from later generations have commented on me that I am not afraid of being scolded by future generations, nor are I afraid of becoming a sinner in history. Everything I do is for my bright and bright..."

...

Zhu Cilang's words were even more shocking, and some vassal kings were stunned. The little emperor actually brought out all Chengzu, which was so ruthless...

Although they were extremely shocked, most of them were waiting to die and had no knowledge of the vassal kings. They were still thinking about the interests of their own tribe members, so how could they understand the ideas of Emperor Shenwu?

After a moment of quietness, the three vassal kings, King of Chu and King of Shu, looked at each other, then stood up and bowed:

"The emperor's words are wrong. The ancestral system cannot be violated, and the salary of the vassal kings should not be denied. We are all descendants of the high emperor. If you do the country, we should enjoy life..."

Zhu Cilang was speechless to these three old guys. No matter what they said, they only considered their own interests and looked like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water...

"Bang..."

Zhu Cilang slapped the Long Shu case again, and the already cracked Long Shu case suddenly fell apart and collapsed to the ground. The three old guys were frightened and they trembled all over and hurriedly lowered their heads.

Zhu Cixuan slowly stood up and walked to them, staring at them and shouted loudly:

"My words are imperial edicts, my words are national laws. If you don't accept it, you can rebel and overthrow me and replace it. If you can't, shut up and implement it.

The red crawling people in the mountains were starving thousands of miles away. The Qin King's mansion deposited tens of millions of silver and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain. Instead, they secretly interacted with bandits and provided thousands of stones of grain...

The bandits, Huo Jiangnan, have your Chu Palace provided them with food? Have you secretly sold low-priced food to them? You won’t know anything about the King of Chu?

When the bandits entered the land of Sichuan and Shu, did the Shu Palace have any interaction with them? Can you, King of Shu, wipe your butt clean? God is watching, do you think I don’t know?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Come on, drag King Chu, Qin, King Jin out to the court to have a stick of twenty to warn others. If you dare to commit another crime in the future, I will kill him. If you don’t show your power, you will treat me as a sick cat..."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhu Cilang gave the order, the three old princes were dragged out to the court for twenty sticks, and the three leading brothers were beaten to the butts. They cried and begged for mercy...

In a furious situation, Zhu Cilang's aura exploded again and directly attacked the old prince.

Although the 20th court stick will not die, the King of Chu is over 60 years old, and the other two vassal kings are nearly 60 years old, so they can't bear it. They hurriedly cried and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. We all obey the emperor's instructions and are willing to hand over the land..."

These vassal kings were originally just hard but not soft. Seeing the emperor showing great power, they immediately expressed their obedience.

As for the idea of ​​rebellion, they dare not have it. Even powerful as Jiannu will be easily destroyed unless they want to die...

Seeing that no one of the vassal kings dared to force him again, Zhu Cilang immediately smiled with a small face and waved to Hu Bao:

"The imperial doctor came to heal the three princes. If I had known this, why would I have hit you in the past? The court stick was hit on you, but it hurts in my heart..."

Hearing the little emperor's words, he looked at Xiao Shaxing's face and smiled a little. The three vassal kings wanted to bite Zhu Cilang hard, but they still smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you for your kindness..."

Under normal circumstances, ministers can call His Majesty, and vassal kings generally call Emperors...

He used both kindness and power, and had to give him a candy to beat a stick. Of course, Zhu Cilang would not directly return to the land of the vassal kings, so he would definitely give him the benefits.
