Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

"What are you going to do with your brother?"

Zhu Youtang's second question is a bit sensitive, and it involves King An, whom Zhu Houzhao dislikes very much.

With great aspirations and few talents, but with high eyesight and low hands, Wang An's ability is average, but his ambition is not small. If it wasn't for the face of the dead Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhu Houzhao would have been able to imprison him until death.

Looking at Zhu Youtang with a serious face, Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "You can keep the title of vassal king, but you can't control the real power."

King An is just a clown, he can't afford to make a big disturbance, it doesn't matter whether he kills or not, the main thing is to give Zhu Youtang a face.

Empress Dowager Zhang is dead, and she still complained about him before she died. He didn't want his own father, Zhu Youtang, to turn against him.

Now that I am walking farther and farther on the road of being alone, it is better to leave some thoughts for myself.

"You just don't want to see your brother."

"There was something wrong with him in the past, but you are brothers of the same mother after all."

Zhu Houzhao made a concession, but Zhu Youtang was still a little dissatisfied.

No matter how you say it, King An is also Zhu Houzhao's younger brother. Zhu Houzhao ruled the Ming Dynasty and possessed supreme power. Couldn't King An follow him in the glory.

A nominal vassal king, compared with King An's identity, is extremely mismatched.

"I have treated him well enough. I have clearly stipulated in the law that, except for the heir to the throne, the royal family cannot be ennobled without meritorious service. Retaining his title of vassal king is the limit of what I can do."

Zhu Houzhao said lightly.

It's just that it's not that Zhu Youtang doesn't understand the law, and Emperor Hongzhi is not easy to fool.

"Don't lie to me, when did Daming have this regulation?"

"Maybe it didn't exist before, but from now on, there will be."

The sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty were unified, and the number of vassal kings added up was terrifying. Zhu Houzhao didn't want to support them, let alone recognize the legitimacy of those vassal kings.

On the contrary, he wants to cut down the vassals, and keep the vassal kings who have made great contributions, and continue to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, shine and shine, and play their due value.

Those vassal kings who only lie on Daming's body to suck blood, all abolished the title of king, and it has nothing to do with him.

In a word, Daming does not raise idlers, let alone rice worms waiting to die, this is Zhu Houzhao's firm and unwavering attitude.

"It's up to you, as long as he's alive."

Knowing that he could not persuade Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youtang stopped persuading him, fearing that talking too much would arouse Zhu Houzhao's murderous intent.

As for Wang An's two blows, Zhu Houzhao's killing him was no easier than crushing an ant.

"As for the matter of the vassal king, I will announce to the whole world in the future that Ming Dynasty must be strong and prosperous, and resources cannot be spent on a bunch of waste."

"How much food to eat, how big a bowl to serve, if the feudal lords have contributed to Daming, I will not treat them badly. On the contrary, if you only know how to take blindly but don't know how to give, you can't blame me."

These words were not only said to Zhu Youtang, but also to the old Zhu Zhudi and others. Later, he will hold a family meeting to discuss with everyone the important matters after the unification of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it may be his speech hall alone. As the defeated, old Zhu Zhudi and others are not qualified to bargain.

With Zhu Houzhao's personal promise, Hongzhi Dynasty's acceptance was a matter of course. With Zhu Youtang's help, Zhu Qiyuan quickly completed the acceptance task.

The coexistence of the sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty has since gone forever.

In the future Ming Dynasty, there will be only one dynasty, which is Zhu Houzhao's Taiwu Dynasty, and Taiwu Dynasty will represent Daming.

The mountains and rivers are united, the country is unified, and the family meeting that Zhu Houzhao has prepared for a long time is also held on Zhaoming Terrace.

Zhaoming, Zhao, has the meaning of proclaiming to the world, Ming, refers to Daming.

Building this Zhaoming Terrace is to announce to the world that the Ming Dynasty has been unified since then.

On the Zhaoming stage, all the people of old Zhu's family were present, no matter men, women, old or young.

Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Houcong, Zhu Zaiyu, Zhu Yijun, Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian
Lao Zhu and others who were suppressed by Zhu Houzhao were all released. This family meeting would not work without them.

Empress Ma, Chang, Empress Xu, Hu, Sun, Empress Qian, Wan Zhener, Empress Li, Zhang, Zhou
Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunxi, Qin Wang Zhu Yu, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, Liao Wang Zhu Zhi, Dai Wang Zhu Gui, Ning Wang Zhu Quan, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui
All the famous people from all dynasties of the Ming Dynasty came. This family meeting will determine the future political direction of the Ming Dynasty, as well as important matters such as the management and training of the royal family.

"What kind of tricks does Zhu Houzhao want to play?"

Lao Zhu is now very angry and impatient.

Empress Ma, Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunxie, and Chang's family reunited here for three generations. Lao Zhu didn't have the slightest joy, but felt a chill down his spine.

How powerful Zhu Houzhao's methods are, and it's not that he hasn't experienced it before. Now that so many people are gathered together, he must not hold his fart well.

"Father, if you have the strength to scold Zhu Houzhao, you might as well think about how that kid will treat us."

"We are his prisoners now, and whether we live or die is entirely up to him."

Zhu Di kindly reminded Lao Zhu that his expression was a little decadent.

Lost in the hands of his own descendants, it would be embarrassing.

"Hmph, does he still dare to kill us?"

Old Zhu snorted coldly, even in adversity, he still did not change his domineering posture.

Zhu Houzhao dared to kill anyone, but he never dared to kill him, Zhu Di, Hongwu and Yongle. The influence of Hongwu and Yongle spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

The only thing Lao Zhu is worried about now is his great son, great grandson, and his bunch of troubled sons.

Due to the eyes of the world, Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to do anything to him, but it might not be true for Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying, Zhu, and Zhu Xi.

In fact, Zhu Houcong's family is most worried.

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Houzhao have a very close relationship, and it can be said that they are in the same line. Zhu Houzhao will probably not embarrass them.

But Zhu Houcong's family is different. Zhu Houcong's throne comes from Zhu Houzhao, and the relationship with Zhu Houzhao is not very good. If you want to find someone to make a move, Zhu Houcong's family is the most suitable.

The old Taoist Zhu Houcong seemed to be as stable as an old dog, but he was in a panic.

He can no longer be an emperor, but he can continue to cultivate immortals and pursue his lifelong ideals, but if he loses his life, then everything is over.

I want to cultivate immortality, my magic power is boundless!
Zhu Houcong didn't want to die before he cultivated to the realm of boundless mana.

The same goes for Zhu Zaixi, Zhu Yijun, Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youjian. They still have to live a good life and continue to explore the true meaning of art.

Especially Zhu Changluo, he was more afraid than anyone else. If he died, what would happen to his harem group, which surpassed the three thousand beauties in the harem.

Just when everyone's minds were turned, Zhu Houzhao finally appeared.

"His Majesty is here!"

Accompanied by Liu Jin's yell, Zhu Houzhao walked up like a dragon and a tiger, carrying a majestic imperial power, and came majestically.

Beside him are Zhu Youtang, Zhu Qiyuan, and his eldest grandson Zhu Kai.

Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao also followed, and with the vassal kings withered, he was the only royal family that could still be talked about in the Taiwu Dynasty.
