When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 4: The threesome who cut down the feudal clan!
[In fact, it was beyond everyone’s expectation. No one could have expected that Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying passed away one after another. 】

[Emperor Jianwen himself also knew that his succession was unstable. He was full of doubts about his uncles and even most of the people around him. 】

[Zhu Yunwen once discussed the issue of vassal kings with Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

[At that time, although he had the intention of reducing the vassal state, he also emphasized a change of policy, taking detours to deal with current affairs and governing them with etiquette. He would not reduce the territory, but only reduce his military power. 】

[But his uncles each control a part of the force and join forces, which should not be underestimated. 】

[Zhu Yunwen was newly appointed, with insufficient ability and unstable status. 】

[For the long-term peace and stability of the unification of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings also knew that they would be weakened. 】

[But no one thought that Zhu Yunwen's first step was to directly depose the vassal king. 】

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's sixth son, Zhu Zhen, is young, he also understands that if he is deposed, the world is really big and he has nowhere to go. How long can a powerless prince live in peace?
This is to kill them!

Don't talk about Zhu Di, he even wanted to do the opposite.

"It's true that etiquette comes first and then soldiers. The etiquette is the gift for him to ascend the throne, and the soldiers are the soldiers to dethrone the vassal king." Zhu Fan sneered behind him.

Zhu Yuanzhang also fell silent at this time.

He was also full of doubts about his second grandson.

Even if he has passed away, he may not have raised his heirs to this point. There are still villains in the middle!Let’s read on.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a prejudice against his infant grandson at this time.

That's all, the situation is clear now.

"Biao'er, pay attention to your health and protect the hero, these problems will not occur."
-
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang laughed and said: "This boy is really powerful. When I was his age, I was just a mere pavilion chief."

"He has already ascended to the throne. He is truly a hero. I just don't know if he can persevere as a hero."

Zhang Liang had not resigned and returned home at this moment. He bowed to the side and said: "It seems that the strength of the central court far exceeds that of the vassals in various places, otherwise it would be difficult to come up with this strategy."

Xiao He was also in the hall at this time and followed up and said: "Emperor Jianwen has just ascended the throne and has not been able to sort out the political affairs of the country, so he hastily launched a war. There must be a treacherous villain among them to cause trouble!"

[Among these vassal kings, our protagonist, King Yan Zhu Di, can be said to be capable of both literary and military skills, and managed his vassal land with great vigor. 】

[Among the many brothers, his vassal is ranked second, who can be ranked first? 】

[People gave him the nickname Xiao Daming. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di faintly: "The vassal area is managed well. I don't know that your administrative skills are so high that you are very suitable to be an emperor."

Zhu Di quickly smiled bitterly and said: "Father, please stop making fun of me. Don't you know what I am capable of?"

[I just don’t know if there is a villain instigating this name. 】

[Because he was so powerful, King Zhu Di of Yan ranked last in Emperor Jianwen's list of abolitions. 】

[Emperor Jianwen deposed five vassal kings one after another. Although all parties were reluctant, the general trend was the trend and no troops were mobilized. 】

[The vassal kings also understand that once troops are launched, the world will be in chaos and the Ming Dynasty may fall apart. 】

[Although they don’t like this nephew, they also understand that Ming Dynasty should be the main one] [If they can’t say anything to their nephew, then they can only be angry with the person who instigated his nephew]

[Yes, they are Zhu Yunwen’s team members]

[The first is Qitai. In the 17th year of Hongwu (1384), Yingtianxiang took the imperial examination and became a Jinshi the following year. 】

[In the 28th year of Hongwu (1395), he was promoted to Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War. 】

[On the deathbed of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Tai summoned Gu Ming to assist the emperor's grandson. After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he was ordered to participate in state affairs with Huang Zicheng. He was soon promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War. He was one of the main figures who suggested to Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen to reduce the vassal state. 】

[The second is Huang Zicheng. In the 18th year of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, he got the first place in the examination. He successively served as editor, compiler, minister of Taichang Temple, etc., and accompanied him to the East Palace. 】

[After Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, he also held the position of Hanlin scholar and jointly proposed with Qi Tai to reduce the vassal status]

[The last one is the famous Fang Xiaoru. In the 31st year of Hongwu (1398), Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty died. After Emperor Hui ascended the throne, he followed Taizu's instructions and summoned Fang Xiaoru to Beijing to entrust him with important tasks. He was appointed as a Hanlin minister and a Hanlin bachelor. All matters big and small are carefully consulted before implementation. 】

[And the people who kicked off the campaign to depose the vassal king were Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng]

This time it was Zhu Yuanzhang's turn to be puzzled. He didn't know who these people were, and he hadn't met them yet.

Why would you leave such a minister to Wen'er?

The ministers below also expressed surprise.

Why?

No one related to him appeared. Could it be that Taizu's previous request to suppress all the founding veterans was...

Otherwise, why would it be these young boys who have come to the fore.

The eyes began to circulate under the ministers.

To protect the prince, we must protect the prince.

No matter what happens, the eldest son of the East Palace must hold on, as his wealth and life depend on it.
-
At this time, Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province.

When Song Lian saw Fang Xiaoru's name appearing among the miracles, he couldn't help but feel happy and sad. His name appeared among the miracles just now, but it just passed by in a flash.

But Fang Xiaoru appeared again and again in this imperial battle and was on the wrong team. I wonder how Zhu Di would deal with it?
As his best student, he knew his stuff.

Now, the young feudal kings are also aware of his existence. It is still unknown whether his ability can be used for the people. Even if he is not suppressed by the feudal kings, it will be considered good.

Fang Xiaoru said in a calm voice: "Teacher's fairy-like method is not a warning to me that I must work harder and govern the world with benevolence and propriety, only then can we achieve great harmony. My knowledge is not perfect, and I ultimately failed to help Emperor Jianwen complete his great cause. I should be more Just work harder.”

Song Lian looked at him with admiration: "Yes. This is the future after all, this is now. All parties in the court know what the future will be like, and there will definitely be big changes. You are still in this school at the moment, so remember not to look around and focus on Oneself, improve cultivation and knowledge.”

These three people are all knowledgeable and talented. It must be extraordinary for Zhu Yuanzhang to leave them to his grandchildren.

But how did they arrive at the result of abolishing the feudal clan?

Also, how were the three of them defeated by Zhu Di?
[Here we have to mention Huang Zicheng. He is a pure scholar and knows nothing about fighting. However, Zhu Yunwen has great trust in him and even listens to him on military and state affairs. 】

[So, he cited the example of the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Han Dynasty, simply used military strength as a comparison of the strength of both sides, and launched extraordinary actions based on this. Zhu Yunwen finally listened to his words and implemented the abolition of the vassal state. 】
