Chapter 87 The King of Liao’s Choice

After Sheng Yong left, he dispersed one after another with the thousands of Jin Yiwei. The thousands of Jin Yiwei were poured into a river like a basin of water and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In a private house, Sheng Yong was sitting in the courtyard. The person standing in front of him was none other than the inspector assigned by Jin Yiwei to Prince Han's Mansion.

"What's going on? Is King Han's injury real?"

Nachazi cupped his hands and said: "Sir, I have always been waiting at the middle gate. Since the princess came, we male servants have been rushed to the front yard to wait on you. Behind the middle gate are all maids and maids.

.”

"And our people can't arrange for these maids and maids to enter at all. Prince Han's Mansion only needs local maids and maids."

"Only local maids and maids. So they did it on purpose?"

The inspector nodded.

"Yes, my lord. In the past, when the Han Palace accepted maids, although there were mostly locals, there were also foreigners. But since the princess married in, the rules of the Han Palace have changed. They started to only accept local servants and maids.

, we will not accept any from out of town.”

When Princess Han entered the palace, the palace changed the rules. It seems that this was not directed at the current majesty. Maybe the seemingly weak Princess Han was actually better than she thought in terms of running the house.

"You are the only one left in Prince Han's palace now?"

"There used to be three people in total. Before the late emperor passed away, two of them were withdrawn one after another. Now only the humble one is left in Prince Han's Mansion."

Sheng Yong thought for a while and looked at this Chazi.

"Are they aware of you now?"

"I don't know. They didn't say anything they shouldn't have said. Moreover, when they usually talk about important things, King Han will always talk in his study. No one is allowed within ten steps."

Sheng Yong really has no experience in Jin Yiwei's work.

"Then you can continue to take root in Prince Han's Mansion. Now you are the only one left in Prince Han's Mansion, and no one can be arranged to enter. You have a heavy responsibility. Even if they find you, I estimate that they will not dare to take you away."

Driven out."

"I understand the humble position!"

"Get down!"

After Nachazi retreated, Sheng Yong quickly wrote a memorial and ordered people to rush eight hundred miles to deliver it to the capital as soon as possible.



At this moment, in the capital, there is the palace of the Prince of Liao.

The King of Liao was restless. Next to him at this moment was Lord Qi Taiqi, one of the Three Treasures of Jianwen.

"Master Qi, are you telling me to insist that I have not set up heavy troops in Guangning to prevent King Han from returning to the capital?"

Qi Tai nodded: "Your Highness, this is not only the intention of the official, but also the intention of your Majesty. The King of Han's wanton use of troops in Guangning, to put it lightly, means that the vassal king used troops privately without informing the Ming court. To put it seriously,

Yes, those who are attacking are our Ming Dynasty’s cities, so this is tantamount to rebellion.”

"This kind of thing has never happened before. Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, attacked his own pass on his way back from the Northern Expedition. What was his final fate? All nine clans were killed! Of course, King Han is the blood of the late emperor after all, so naturally he is.

You can’t do it like you did to Sapphire.”

"But I also know that the beloved concubine of His Highness the King of Liao died precisely because of His Highness the King of Han. His Highness the King of Han kept biting His Highness's mistakes, which is why he ended up like this, so His Highness the King of Liao deployed heavy troops.

Isn’t it also to take revenge on King Han?”

King Liao nodded when he heard this: "Master Qi, you are right. My favorite concubine died because of King Han. But King Han is my younger brother after all. If I bite him to death, his

What will be the outcome? Do we really have to kill him?"

Qi Tai smiled slightly: "Your Highness, when has this happened? What kind of brotherhood is your Highness still thinking about? When His Highness the King of Han forced his concubine to death, did he ever think about brotherhood?"

"I think your Highness can see that we have too many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. Even though the late emperor was wise and mighty, saints also made mistakes sometimes. The vassal kings from all over the world were one of the mistakes made by the late emperor!"

"My Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of frontiers, and there are more than tens of millions of people in the world. How difficult is it to choose good generals to guard the frontiers? How can we use these vassal kings to sit on the frontiers and let them grow bigger?"

"Since ancient times, rebellions by vassal kings have been the main culprit for the end of dynasties. The Eight Kings' Rebellion caused the Central Plains to suffer for three hundred years. His Highness the King of Liao should know something about it, right?"

"To put it bluntly, the biggest thing our Majesty has to do since he ascends the throne is to reduce the vassal status!"

King Liao was very surprised after hearing this.

"Cutting down the vassal? Then I am also the vassal king, right?"

Qi Tai stepped forward and grabbed King Liao.

"In the face of the country's policy of reducing vassal vassals, it is time to see how great your contribution is. As long as Your Highness can unite with His Majesty and take care of the King of Han first, I can guarantee that Your Majesty will be a wealthy man in the south of the Yangtze River.

Land, choose a vassal land for His Highness, and from now on, Your Highness will not have to go back to the bitter cold place outside the Great Wall in Liaodong."

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Can I ask one more question? Your Majesty wants to reduce the vassalage. What will happen to my brothers and uncles? What will happen to them? Is it true that your Majesty really doesn't care about the flesh and blood ties and wants to kill them?

Kill them all one by one?"

Qi Tai shook his head: "What are you thinking, Your Highness? Your Highness is right. After all, it is a blood relationship. How could Your Majesty drive all these Highnesses to death? But these Princes and Highnesses have also committed many illegal things, and they must be punished."

He will be punished, but the most serious thing is to be demoted to a commoner."

"If there is a very bad vassal king, the most he can do is to be sentenced to exile. Of course, after all, he is of the blood of the former emperor. The exile of this prince is naturally different from that of ordinary people. The most he can do is to go to the border to work as a minor.

Officials will not go there to do hard labor like ordinary people."

King Liao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"If that's the case, that's not bad. Your Majesty is interested."

Qi Tai looked at King Liao and smiled: "I wonder if His Highness is willing to do such a small favor for His Majesty now. As long as His Majesty helps, His Majesty's previous indulgence of subordinates will be forgotten."

King Liao wanted to agree, but suddenly he remembered what King Yan said to him.

"Lord Qi, I have another worry. After my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother passed away one after another, my fourth brother has now become the eldest among the vassal kings. Naturally, the clan order of this large sect's main courtyard has arrived.

In the hands of my fourth brother."
