Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 627

Zhu Houzhao came forward to clean up the mess, and Li Shanchang was convicted of treason, so there is no need to say more about the follow-up.

The emperor opened his mouth, there is death but there is no life.

Li Shanchang was suspected of a serious crime of treason, and the evidence of the crime was solid, and he was punished by ten clans.

Those remaining officials from various dynasties who followed Li Shanchang up and down were Li Shanchang's tenth clan, and they went on the road together with Li Shanchang.

Zhu Houzhao told everyone with an absolute iron fist that the Taiwu Dynasty was his Taiwu Dynasty, and the new Daming was his Taiwu Emperor's new Daming, and he would kill anyone who dared to make trouble with him.

Li Shanchang was killed, and a large number of survivors of various dynasties were implicated. The bloody lesson shocked those restless people, and it stopped for a few days.

But the storm is far from over.

The unification of the Ming Dynasty involved too many conflicts of interest, which cannot be completely suppressed by killing a few people.

In order to compete for interests, many people have gone crazy.

No, just after suppressing the elders of the various dynasties, it didn't take long for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of this dynasty to be overwhelmed.

An official invited Zhu Houzhao, saying that the Four Great Kings will help the dynasty unify the Ming Dynasty, and they have made great achievements. The Four Kings should be given the courtesy of getting off the sedan chair and dismounting the military officials.

What do civil servants get off their sedan chairs and military officials get off their horses?
That is, regardless of civil servants or military generals, as long as they pass by the residence of the four great kings, they must get off the sedan chair and get off the horse to show respect.

This suggestion seems to be asking for credit for the four kings and generals, intending to show favor to the military, but in fact it is hiding evil intentions, and it is a way of flattering and killing.

As Zhu Houzhao expected, the sequelae of cultural relics imbalance came.

The overall situation has not yet stabilized, and the Six Departments of the Cabinet have begun to weaken the power of the military.

The 28 princes of the four princes are all in control of the military power, with outstanding achievements, and won the trust of the emperor. If they are not curbed, the future Ming Dynasty and the six cabinet departments will be in an extremely embarrassing position.

"I can't wait so soon, civil servant, I'm sick from the bottom of my heart."

He casually threw aside the note that he would give the four kings the super high courtesy, and Zhu Houzhao's face was a little gloomy.

The power of the military department is too inflated and needs to be checked and balanced to avoid rebellious forces like warlords. He knows this better than anyone else, but he doesn't like being taught how to do things, especially civil servants who are not in the same system as the military department.

The Ming Dynasty had just been unified, and there were many places where the military department was needed. Those civil officials couldn't wait to suppress the military department, which made Zhu Houzhao very disliked.

He single-handedly supported the military department, so he had his own plans for how to deal with it, and when it was the turn of the civil servants to meddle in their own business.

It seems that the turmoil of the elders of various dynasties made the civil officials of this dynasty start to have some bad thoughts, and most of them were daydreaming again, hoping that as before, everything was inferior, only the scholar-officials.

Zhu Houzhao didn't mind using the darkest thinking to speculate on the thoughts of his courtiers. As he once told Zhu Qiyuan, human nature is the most unreliable.

On the surface, he remained calm, looked at his good son, and asked his opinion: "Civilian officials get off their sedan chairs, military officers get off their horses, and give great courtesy to ministers who have made meritorious service. The suggestion is good, but Dad wants to hear your opinion."

Without hesitation, Zhu Qiyuan categorically reprimanded: "This is a remark of censure. It contains evil intentions and has bad intentions. It must not be allowed."

How could Zhu Houzhao not be able to see what Zhu Houzhao could see?

It is said that the four kings will be given great courtesy and the merits of the four kings will be highlighted, but no matter how rewards are given, it should not be like this.

Civilian and military generals, getting off the sedan chair and getting off the horse, this is not a reward, but a flattery.

Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, so why not military generals, given the four great generals such a courtesy, what do other generals think, the four great generals will eventually cut themselves off from the group of generals.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhu Qiyuan appreciatively. This son is good enough, no matter his own cultivation or scheming skills. Even if he is gone one day, he should be able to support the Ming Dynasty.

"How did Li Jing, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, and Hu Dakui react?"

Zhu Houzhao asked inexplicably, this matter is related to the four great generals, and the reaction of the parties is very important.

He doesn't want to follow Lao Zhu's example and kill people in order to pave the way for future generations, but if someone can't see through the current situation and insists on endless tossing, he doesn't care about cleaning up the team he built himself.

The way of governance, such as cooking fresh food, removes unsuitable seasonings, and the taste will naturally be delicious.

The court is a big pot, many ministers, either for the ingredients, or for the seasoning, how to use it together, Zhu Hou has a well-formed recipe in his heart.

"After the three generals Li Jing, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang learned about this, they immediately closed the door to thank the guests, saying that they would not be sick."

Li Jing, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang are all strong men who have set foot in the realm of immortality. Their souls are impervious to evil, and their bodies are as strong as diamonds. They can cross the universe without being damaged.

Everything is just an excuse, don't dare to get involved in the storm, lest you get into trouble for yourself.

Zhu Houzhao sighed softly, "They are all smart people!"

"Civilian officials get off their sedan chairs and military officials dismount from their horses. It is indeed extremely honorable, but it is a deadly poison. Anyone who eats it will not be far from death."

"It may be possible to preserve it for a lifetime, but it will be difficult for the long-term. Under heavy oppression, either the body will die or the family will be destroyed."

Then he asked: "What is Hu Dakui's situation now?"

Among the four great generals, Hu Dakui is the one he trusts the most. He doesn't want this reckless man who is most loyal to him to miss his life because of a moment of excitement.

Hu Dakui has a reckless and impulsive personality, and is the easiest to be fooled. His worries are not without reason.

Zhu Qiyuan replied: "Although Uncle Hu was a little moved, he still stayed in the mansion without taking any action before getting your father's order."

"This reckless man also knows how to judge the situation, which saves me a lot of effort."

Zhu Houzhao scolded with a smile, very satisfied with Hu Dakui's progress.

As long as Hu Dakui doesn't kill himself, he can protect Chang'an, the first reckless man.

"You go to the residences of the four of them in person, and pass a message to them for father."

Zhu Qiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and said seriously, "What should I say?"

"Just tell them that civil servants get off their sedan chairs and military officials get off their horses. I can give them such honors, but they must be prepared to bear the consequences of this honor."

"If they insist on this honor, you warn them again, do you still remember the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion?"

The Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, one of the typical examples of military generals being praised and killed, did not end up too badly in the end.

The seven sons go, the six sons return, the male dies, the widow goes to battle, and when she dies in the end, the family is ruined.

Even if a few descendants survived, it would be too horrible to look at, or they would fall into bandits, or wander in the rivers and lakes.

With the bloody example of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion in front of us, if Hu Dakui, Li Jing, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang can still be fooled by the false glory, then Zhu Houzhao can't help it.

"Son will go later."

Zhu Qiyuan nodded, attaching great importance to this matter.

Li Jing and Qi Jiguang are fine, they don't have a deep friendship with him.

But Yue Fei and Hu Dakui, one is his close friend when he was in the rivers and lakes, and the other is the uncle who watched him grow up, he is not willing to watch the two of them go to the abyss step by step.

Above the court hall, if one step is wrong, it will be lost forever.
