The fifty-seventh chapter withdrawal (2)
As I expected, under my intentional actions, the news of their being under house arrest in the fiefs of Uncle Min and Uncle Gui were spread all over the emperor's fiefs. For a moment, everyone in the two families were in danger and were about to break out.
I had already had a close letter to my father for this matter. After Zhu Changwen's throne ceremony, all the vassal kings did not enter Beijing under my contact with my father. At this time, when Uncle Min and Uncle Gui encountered such a cold and cold lips, we should send a message to Beijing first to ask for an explanation.
When our father and son made such a fuss, all the vassals in the world wrote to the court. In an instant, the letter flew into the capital like snowflakes and fell into the hands of Zhu Changwen and a group of ministers. According to the information provided by Li Haifu to our factory guards, it was said that Zhu Changwen had received so many books, and he immediately became so angry that he tore up several books, and even scolded, "Do they still have me, the emperor?"
In fact, I had already imagined that with his narrow aura, how could he tolerate such opposition? Moreover, the people of Jinghua Sect are fanning the flames by his side. The more chaotic the world is, the more beneficial it will be to the "big things" of Jinghua Sect. If Zhu Changwen can still be calm in this way, it will be the greatest strange thing in the world.
Soon, Zhu Changwen resolutely took action against the withdrawal of the vassal kings and the withdrawal of the vassal kings by Wang Shu and Jia. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused shock to the court and the people. Not only did the vassal kings write letters to oppose again, but many of the ministers in the court held an objection. Only those scholars from the Qingliu Shilin knew nothing, and thought that everything would be fine if they could just talk about the big things in the world. It was ridiculous and unaware of the so-called withdrawal of the vassal king and Gui, but also to withdraw all the vassal kings.
In the court, as representatives of the Qingliu Shilin, the attendant Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were their representatives. Not only did they directly submit memorials to Zhu Changwen to explain the proposal of abolishing the vassal state, but they also proposed to Zhu Changwen what kind of government system should be established after the fiefs of the vassal kings are removed in the future. They really did not take the clan members seriously. In an instant, the voices of scolding Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai as treacherous people suddenly became louder, and all the vassal kings wrote to the court again. The post stations that sent letters only filled the capital.
Since I wrote a letter last time to ask the emperor to release Uncle Min and Uncle Gui, I will not make trouble this time. I was still because I could not bear it anymore and stood on the side of the truth. But this time, although Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai submitted memorials, Zhu Changwen still stayed at the end of the year. If I followed those brainless Uncle Wang to make trouble, I would be on the side of the loss.
Not long after, because the two vassals of King Min and King Gui were withdrawn, the two vassal princes were not convinced. Not only did they occupy the fiefdom and refused to hand over, but they also suppressed the Xinchai who sent Zhu Changwen to them. At this moment, Zhu Changwen was immediately furious and immediately ordered the commanders of the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to lead troops to capture King Gui and King Min's princes, and forcibly withdraw the vassal.
As soon as something happened, the world was shocked. Not to mention that all the vassal kings in the world were blinded by the court, and even many ministers in the court claimed to be sick. In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the uncles of our country have been in their fiefdom for many years. They have a close relationship with the ministers in the court. Although they were only abolishing the vassals of Min and Gui families, they actually looked at them. Everyone knew that Zhu Changwen had already wanted to withdraw his vassals, and the next question was just a matter of sequence.
In the chaos in the court and the country, there was a man's strategy that shocked me especially. This man was named Guo Ren, who is the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He once wrote a memorial saying: "In the world, the roots will be first and then the bottom will be easy to complete. Today, Nanjing Chaotian Palace will store grain tickets every day and prepare the army. What is the result? The south attacks Min and Gui, and cuts the vassals of the northern routes for a long time. It is really a waste of the foundation and the end. The use of troops is of great speed. Once the spirit is exhausted, it will be tolerated. As the saying goes, you cannot penetrate Lu silk at the end of the crossbow. I am afraid that the court will sit and get trapped."
If I were in Zhu Changwen's position, if I wanted to withdraw the vassal under this situation, I would definitely mobilize elite troops first and deal with the two powerful vassals, my father and father, in one fell swoop. This is a strategy to start with the root and then the end. If I can succeed in one go, it will not only eliminate two major troubles, but also have the benefits of shocking the other vassals. It is really the best way to withdraw the vassals by head-on battles.
It is precisely because of this that I have been concerned about this inconspicuous minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His words are truly reasonable. He can be regarded as an amazing person to see this at this time. Fortunately, Zhu Changwen did not care about Guo Ren's memorial. Instead, he refuted that as an important member of the Ministry of Revenue, he did not care about the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and dared to talk about military affairs. He was now fined for half a year.
In less than half a month, the Min and Gui vassals were successfully removed. Zhu Changwen probably increased his confidence and issued the will to remove the Zhou vassals in the vassals in vassals.
Uncle Zhou and Uncle Dai had been rebelled by the emperor's grandfather, and they were considered to be a great contribution to the court among the kings of Zhu. At this time, Zhu Changwen even wanted to withdraw his vassals, and immediately attracted the support of King Xiang and Uncle Qi, which could be regarded as the rebellion of the four kings.
When the four uncles of Wang refused to withdraw the vassal state, Uncle Wang of Zhou and Uncle Wang of Dai once sent me a letter saying that they wanted to invite me to do a major event together, but they pretended to do nothing but knew what to do, but after reading the letter, they did not give them any answers.
Actually, I didn’t mean that what they said was “big things”, but I really hope that they can fight Zhu Changwen well, the more intense the better. If both sides can be injured, it would be even better. No matter what, the existence of both sides is not a good thing for me, because the father can become the emperor and the removal of the vassal state is still the most important thing. I think the father also thinks so, otherwise he would not have sent a letter to tell me not to act rashly.
The four Wang Uncle's army combined for about 100,000, and soon met Zhu Changwen's army of serving the king from various provinces. The two sides formed a formation in Hunan and Hubei provinces, and the fight was difficult to distinguish. The factory guards of the East Factory reported a large number of casualties to me every day. Looking at these numbers, I didn't know why I felt satisfied and felt a little sad that "one general succeeded and ten thousand bones were undone."
The two sides continued to fight against each other. After more than ten days, Uncle Wang of Zhou and Uncle Wang of Dai finally sent people to Chengdu to ask for help from me. The two were Zhu Changli and Zhu Changyou, who had a friendship with me.
"Brother Changluo, you have to help us this time!" As soon as Zhu Changli saw me, he immediately said straight to the point.
I know very clearly that the situation of the war is probably not good for them, otherwise the two uncles of Wang would not let their two princes come out of the battlefield and come to me for help, but I was really powerless at this time: "Two brothers, you don't know. Although Sichuan is a country of Heavenly Mansion, the famous field is very good, but after experiencing the incident last year, how can we get the force of the troops and silver battles in this battle?"
"Brother Wang, your brothers know that you have the ability. It's only one year. When we entered the city just now, we saw the scene on the street. It's really incomparable to a year ago. This time, Brother Wang, you have to help you no matter what!" Zhu Changyou brought me a high hat.
"The two brothers, it is because Sichuan has improved a little, so they really can't stand any military affairs. I am really powerless to do anything about sending troops!" After a slight pause, I said again: "But I can write a letter to my father and persuade him to send troops to help the Wang uncles with help."
To be honest, although I encouraged the garrison of the people in Sichuan prefectures and prefectures, the only visible forces under my command is the only three thousand imperial guards led by Hantu and Dali. When Uncle Zhou and Uncle Dai left Sichuan, they were probably left with many goals. He had no reason not to know about this. The reason why he sent these two brothers to help me plan major events was that what he valued more was my connections and my whip.
Speaking of connections, it’s all for my father-in-law, and the other father-in-laws should not be underestimated, especially those old princes, who have very high reputation in the army? Speaking of hitting the emperor whip, they can beat the foolish king and the lower traitor. If I could wield the benefits, I would be afraid that this effect would be eye-catching. Therefore, letting my person participate in their "big events" may be more useful than the three thousand I am under my command.
When they heard that I was going to write a letter to persuade my father to send troops, Zhu Changli and Zhu Changyou had already achieved half of their goal. Besides, they also "know" that I really had no available soldiers, so they no longer had any more difficulties. They just showed a touching look and said, "Brother Changluo, you are such a good brother!"
"Brother Wang, we are all descendants of the Zhu family. Do you have to say such polite words?" Although I had other ideas in my heart, I couldn't do it on the surface. I grabbed the shoulders of my two cousins and tried my best to speak frankly.
