Ming Dynasty: The army forced the palace, and Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

A speechless night!

The next day.

The meeting was held as usual.

Lan Yu, Geng Bingwen, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde were all here.

"Is there any mistake? Geng Bingwen, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde were fine. Lan Yu, as the leader, had nothing to do. How did the Emperor Taisun do it?"

"After committing such a big crime, he was only fined a year's salary. It's outrageous."

"Your Majesty must have been forced by the Emperor's grandson, otherwise how could he have let Lan Yu, Geng Bingwen, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and the others go so easily?"

"The emperor's grandson acts arrogantly and domineeringly with one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in his hands. Just wait, he will be liquidated sooner or later. Your Majesty will never condone it blindly."

"......"

The ministers had strange eyes and thought secretly in their hearts.

Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the dragon chair, with a calm face, and said calmly:"My lords, do you have anything else to say about the abolition of the gentry's non-payment of taxes and grain payments?"

After finishing speaking.

He looked up at the ministers, his eyes eager to try, expecting someone to jump out

"Um? There's something wrong with the Emperor's grandson's eyes. Why does it feel like he's expecting some of us to object?"

"What is the look in the emperor's grandson's eyes? Feel like you want us to jump out and object?"

"Something is wrong, something is wrong. I have seen the look in His Majesty’s eyes. He...He wants to kill someone!"

"Bait, this is a bait, you must not talk!"

"The intention to kill is too obvious. The emperor's grandson is still too immature and far from his majesty."

"what's the situation? Why do I see the shadow of His Majesty in the body of the emperor's grandson?"

"......"

After hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, the ministers instinctively wanted to say something out of consideration for safeguarding their own interests. but.

When they saw Zhu Yunxi's eyes full of expectation and eagerness to try, they were stunned, and then they all realized that Zhu Yunxi was fishing.

In an instant, everyone looked stern and gritted their teeth.

Just forget it if you don’t know.

Now that they know that Zhu Yunxi has raised his butcher knife high to fish, they still join in foolishly. Isn't that asking for death?

No one thinks his life is too long.

In particular, after Zhu Yuanzhang's continuous purges, the current courtiers are very afraid of death, and none of them are iron-headed.

"No, why didn't anyone jump out?"

"Which part went wrong?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned.

He was waiting for someone to jump out, but after waiting for a long time, there was no one. After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath, tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said,"Why are you not talking? ? It's okay, don't be afraid, just say whatever you want."

"Swish, swish, swish!"

It's okay that Zhu Yunxi didn't speak.

As soon as he spoke, all the ministers lowered their heads. They all looked frightened and didn't dare to breathe.

The truth came out.

The emperor's grandson really wanted to kill someone!

"Ah this..."

Zhu Yunxi was numb and speechless.

He wanted to kill someone to establish his authority, but the situation in front of him didn't seem to allow it.

Pick a few that don't look good and kill them.

This is of course also possible.

But as an emperor, killing people for no reason is not a good thing.

If you do that, it will easily cause the monarch and his ministers to become alienated.

The king and his ministers are alienated. How can he safely leave government affairs to his ministers in the future? How can he rest and fish in peace?

Let him be like Zhu Yuanzhang, handling government affairs all day long?

Stop it!

If that were the case, he would rather not sit on the throne.

Lan Yu also saw Zhu Yunxi's thoughts, thought about it, and said in a relaxed tone:"Everyone, didn't you previously oppose the abolition of the gentry's non-payment of taxes and grain? Why are all of them silent now? Now His Highness I take the initiative to ask you to speak up if you have any problems. After passing this village, there will be no such store. You must seize this opportunity."

"Chance?"

"Give me the chance to die!"

The ministers secretly thought in their hearts.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at each other and suddenly stood up and said:"Your Highness, I think the preferential treatment of the gentry not paying taxes or paying grain should have been abolished long ago. I firmly support it!"

"ah?"

When the officials heard Fang Xiaoru's words, they were all dumbfounded.

"That’s right, there shouldn’t be anyone in Ming Dynasty doing something special. I also support the abolition of the gentry’s non-payment of taxes and grain."

"Mr. Fang and Mr. Huang have said it well, and I support it. The preferential treatment of the gentry for not paying taxes and paying grain must be abolished."

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai followed Fang Xiaoru and said aloud.

They had no choice.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at them back and forth several times, which was obviously intended to take action on them.

Anyway, they had decided to carry out the second step of the plan. In this case, it was natural to save their lives first.

They didn’t believe that Zhu Yunxi could forcefully kill them even though they and others had clearly expressed their support.

If that was the case, they would admit it.

"Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai are so smart. They can use retreat to advance."

"Tsk tsk, the reactions of Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai were quick enough."

"The reaction was good, but if the emperor's grandson was determined to kill someone to establish his authority, he still wouldn't be able to escape. I just don't know if the emperor's grandson would do it regardless of the consequences."

"......"

After everyone was stunned, they all woke up and secretly admired Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai for their quick reactions.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qitai were Zhu Yunwen's people.

Everyone knows this.

Now that Zhu Yunxi has become the crown prince, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qitai, the three Zhu Yunxi people, are a bit of an eyesore.

"Your Highness, Mr. Fang, Mr. Huang and Mr. Qi are right. The preferential treatment of the gentry who do not pay taxes or pay grain must be abolished."

"Your Highness, we resolutely obey Your Highness's decision to abolish the gentry's failure to pay taxes and grain."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty previously asked the gentry not to pay taxes or pay grain, which was to enhance the enthusiasm of scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Now that the enthusiasm of scholars has been raised, the preferential treatment of not paying taxes and grain should be abolished."

"......"

All the ministers spoke out one after another.

No one is a fool, and no one wants to be beheaded by Zhu Yunxi to establish his authority.

"......"

The corners of Zhu Yunxi's mouth twitched, feeling depressed:"It's over...."

Although he didn't know what went wrong, there was probably no hope of completing his plan to kill someone with a knife today.
