Fifty-four Military Powers

The next day, the old man who had not appeared for a long time appeared rarely in front of all officials.

The two promotions directly caused an uproar, and even Zhu Yunxiu was caught off guard.

Both of these imperial edicts are extremely simple, they are the plain language commonly used by the old man.

"Zhu Yunwen, the King of Huai, hid dragon robe and hidden armored soldiers, recruited martial artists and wanted to rebel. He was sentenced to death, withdrew the vassals and removed from the household registration."

"The princess Huai's mother tribe, Dali Temple, was dismissed from office and was exiled to Hainan!"

The two imperial edicts were not only spoken in the court, but also to make the world clear. The officialdom, which was originally gentle in the 29th year of Hongwu, and the world of peace and peace, suddenly became strange.

King Huai was a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty and a grandson of the emperor, so he was the prince and his children. When he was in the palace, he was quite famous. After his fief of Huai'an, he had no bad habits, so why was he suddenly sentenced to death for rebellion?

Besides, with the old emperor's arrogance, even if his grandson wants to rebel, he will not use such means to deal with it. If a glass of poisoned wine is said to be ill, what's wrong?

Moreover, the most eye-catching one is to withdraw the vassals and remove the vassals from two points. From then on, the Huai Kings will no longer be the vassals of the Ming Dynasty. The removal of the vassals, which means that the Zhu family's clan genealogy will no longer be Zhu Yunwen's name.

But Zhu Yunqiu understood the old man’s thoughts.

The old man is telling all the sons that when we are old, we will see you clearly. We don’t want you to be filial, we just hope that you can truly abide by your duties. Otherwise, Zhu Yunwen is the lesson for you. Since childhood, I saw that my grandchildren all died, you may not be much more important than him in our hearts.

As for the attack on the Ma family of Dali Temple, it was purely because the old man did it.

"We are protecting our shortcomings and loving face!" In Fengtian Palace, the old man's voice echoed, "I didn't want to cause such a stir, but my descendants are not good at it. Today, we know that old saying, a real man will inevitably be unfair to his wife and sons are unfilial!"

"Cough, cough!" The old man coughed twice, looked at the ministers and continued, "The case of King Huai is not allowed to be discussed privately, nor is it allowed to speculate secretly." As he said that, he took a breath and inspected the ministers with a stern look, "Otherwise, he will be treated as a member of the party."

Speaking of this, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxiu sitting next to him.

"Grandson, today's court meeting, besides these two things, there is one more thing!" As he said that, the old man pointed at the military minister, "Where is the Governor's Office of the Five Army?"

"I'm waiting!"

In an instant, the chief officers and the deputy generals of the Five Army Governor's Office all knelt down and kowtowed.

"From now on, all major military and national affairs must be handed over to the Crown Prince. The mobilization of troops and military officers in various places must be approved by the Crown Prince. Even the reserves and transportation of military rations in various places, military pay, equipment and supplies must be sealed!"

Among the ministers, many officials who belonged to the Eastern Palace were suddenly filled with ecstasy.

The emperor's grandson had only government power. Now the emperor said this at the court meeting, which was to give the emperor's grandson and the Ming Dynasty military power.

"I will obey the order!" The nobles and military officers from the Governor's Office of the Five Army hurriedly kowtowed and replied.

The military power of the Ming Dynasty capital was actually in the hands of Zhu Yunyu. Now the general officer who is in charge of the 190,000 troops in the capital camp is his uncle. Most of the generals and assistants were bent on him, and the nobles in the capital were even more in line with him.

But there is another meaning in the old man's will.

That is, in the future, Zhu Yunqi could use the name of the central government to legally manage and mobilize the army of the vassal kings, and even block their necks in military pay and food.

Throughout history, no crown prince has ever had such authority. It is not abdication, but abdication.

"Big grandson!" On the dragon throne, the old man called Zhu Yunsheng.

The latter knelt in front of him, and he continued to whisper, "From now on, you will be the leader!" As he said, he smiled, and pressed his big hand on Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, "Let's not care about those nostalgic things!"

Zhu Yunxiu didn't say anything, but just gently patted the back of the old man's hand and nodded.

~~~~

The court will disperse, and a fast horse will immediately leave the capital with the imperial edict. It will be delivered to all parts of the world, especially the vassal kings, as soon as possible.

In Peiping, Baota Temple, and in the attic of Haotian Tower, Zhu Di leaned against the window, looking at the sage in his hand, his face was cold and he didn't say a word.

The wind blew, the white curtains flashed, and the wind chimes hanging in the tower made a pleasant sound.

As the footsteps came, Yao Guangxiao's black monk's robe appeared limply and sat on the futon with grin.

"The little monk almost capsized the ship in the gutter and lost it in Huai'an!"

Zhu Di looked out the window, ignored the other party's words, and slowly spoke, "The old man is really ruthless. He is his own grandson, just kill him like this? It's fine if he kills him, he will be removed from his vassal. Moreover, he didn't even give him a cemetery!"

Yao Guangxiao wanted to say something, but he held it back.

He just curled his lips in his heart, "You Zhu family are all very cruel. Even Zhu Yunwen's seemingly stupid person can eat people and not spit bones! He almost killed Lord Buddha!"

"You said, how much do you know about us?" Zhu Di suddenly turned his head and asked, "Did Zhu Yunwen have any before he died?"

"If your old man knows, I'm afraid that this is not the case for the imperial edict today!" Yao Guangxiao thought, "But there is a doubt in his heart!"

Zhu Di nodded, "I know my father's temperament, I'm suspicious!"

As he said that, he asked again, "I guess my younger brothers are scared that this imperial edict is so scared. Old man, this is killing chickens for us to see!"

"They are naturally afraid when your old man is alive. If they are gone, they are naturally not afraid!" Yao Guangxiao smiled, "The so-called Eight Kings Alliance does not expect your old man to make a fuss when he is here, for the sake of his future."

As he said that, Yao Guangxiao paused, "Actually, this is good. In the future, the East Palace will come to power. If we release the trend of the Eight Kings Alliance, he will naturally attack other vassal kings. At that time, those vassal kings will not be able to rebel if they want to!"

Zhu Di didn't say anything, and looked at the imperial edict in his hand, "There is something wrong here. Why did the old man find Zhu Yunwen? Why did he believe he had rebelled? Why did he take such a ruthless move?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of timid flashed in Yao Guangxiao's eyes. He did not dare to look at Zhu Di's eyes, nor did he dare to reply.

If the King of Yan in front of him knew what he had urged Zhu Yunwen to do, he would be afraid that he would splatter blood on the spot in the next second. In the heart of King of Yan Zhu Di, he could plot against anyone, but he could not plot against the old man of the Zhu family.

In his heart, he could be a traitor, but he was unwilling to be a sinister!

"This matter is not easy to deal with!" Zhu Di said again, "Old man, he also gave the military power to the East Palace. From now on, he can order us openly and put his hands into our territory!"

"This matter needs to be discussed for a long time!" Yao Guangxiao also felt a headache.

Immediately, Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di, "Are you hesitant and scared?"

"Will I be afraid? Haha, a joke!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, "A real man doesn't eat five cauldrons, but cook them as five cauldrons!" As he said, the laughter stopped, "Besides, I'm afraid now, it's too late! I'm afraid that the old man will not tolerate me, and the East Palace will not tolerate me in the future!"

"The world should be dominated by a man like Qiansui. The person in the East Palace is just a spoiled by the old man, without virtue or merit, and virtue is not worthy of position."

"Hey, I'll say!" Zhu Di interrupted Yao Guangxiao in rare instance, looked at him and asked, "You think, does the old man know that you are not dead?"

Yao Guangxiao's face was stunned.

"You said!" Zhu Di continued, "Did that person from the East Palace know that there is someone like you?"
