Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty: Suppress the mythical martial arts at the beginning!

Chapter 101 I have treated you all so well, is this how you repay me?

The four most powerful vassal kings, King Zhu Zaizhen of Jinggong, King Zhu Zaiyan of Qihuai, King Zhu Zaiwu of Yingshang, and King Zhu Zaisu of Junsi, naturally gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Zhu Zaisu, the king of Junsi who was the least courageous, hurriedly said to the other three:

"What else are we discussing? Is there anything else to discuss?"

"This must be the Hongmen Banquet! Whoever goes will die in the capital for the rest of their lives!"

"I'm telling you, a few feudal lords just now have quietly slipped away from the inn."

"If I don't run away now, when will I wait?"

"Are you really waiting for the guards outside to take us into the city?"

Junsi King Zhu Zaisu had just finished speaking.

Jing Gong Wang Zhu Zaizhen sneered and then said:
"Escape?! Do you think they can really escape?"

"You wouldn't think that the only ones staring at us now are the Imperial Guards."

"Also, have you seen the troops from Dongchang, Xichang and Jinyiwei?"

"Those who can't escape, I bet that even if they can escape the detection of the Imperial Guards, they will definitely not be able to escape the surveillance of those spies!"

After saying these words, King Jing Gong Zhu Zaizhen showed a miserable look on his face.

When King Junsi Zhu Zaisu heard what Zhu Zaizhen, King Jinggong said, he became more and more anxious and kept pacing back and forth in the field.

King Jinggong Zhu Zaizhen glanced at the several vassal kings in front of him, sighed, and then said:

"Just accept your fate. At least now, it will be difficult for us to escape."

"In that case, why not go to the banquet."

"First let's see what the emperor means before we talk about anything else."

After hearing the words of King Jinggong Zhu Zaizhen, the other three vassal kings could only nod helplessly after thinking for a while.

Throughout the day, the number of vassal kings at the inn has been reduced by less than half.

They were all afraid of the banquet hosted by the emperor, so they secretly dressed up in various ways to hide it from the eyes and ears of the guards and sneaked out.

The four most powerful vassal kings naturally disdain such behavior.

They knew that since the emperor had sent the imperial guards, he would definitely be followed in the dark by spies from other departments.

If you are caught while escaping, it will be even more embarrassing.

Seeing that they, the four most powerful vassal kings, had no intention of sneaking away, those astute vassal princes also stood still.

In the evening, Yuhuatian came to welcome all the vassal kings into the palace.

During the whole process, Yuhuatian showed the proper royal bearing and seemed to turn a blind eye to the escaping feudal kings.

Linde Hall of the Imperial Palace.

In the huge hall, there are several large tables.

The table is filled with delicacies from all over the world, showing the royal majesty.

But even though the vassal kings had been eating simple meals in the inn for several days, they still didn't have the slightest thought after seeing the delicacies in front of them.

What frightened them even more was that the vassal kings who had escaped in various ways were now sitting at the banquet in an orderly manner.

But judging from their expressions, they seemed to be quite frightened.

The look in their eyes was full of embarrassment.

King Jing Gong, Zhu Zaizhen, had already expected this.He just glanced at Zhu Yijun with deep meaning and secretly sighed at the fierceness of the young emperor's methods.

Zhu Yijun looked at the hesitant expressions on the faces of the vassal kings and said with a smile:
"Uncles, you have come from afar, please sit down quickly."

Hearing what the emperor said, all the vassal kings had no choice but to take their seats one by one, no matter how uncomfortable they felt.

It's just that the location where they are sitting is far away from the fleeing feudal kings.As if he was afraid of being contaminated by something.

Seeing the kings sitting down, Zhu Yijun smiled and said to the vassal kings who had escaped and been captured:
"I kindly arranged a banquet with several large tables, bringing together delicacies from all over the north and south of my Ming Dynasty."

"Just to entertain all the royal uncles."

"But uncles, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Although Zhu Yijun's tone was extremely kind, in the ears of the fleeing feudal lords, it was like poison that penetrated directly into their bodies, and the sound was extremely penetrating.

Those few vassal kings who escaped, God knows how frightened they were when they were captured.

Hearing the emperor's words, he was so frightened that his body began to tremble.

I could only hold on to my thighs desperately to suppress the trembling of my body. I forced a smile on my face and hesitated for a long time without being able to speak.

Zhu Yijun didn't wait for them to answer. He picked up the wine in front of him, looked around the room, and said:

"Uncles, please manage various places for me, the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, you have put in a lot of hard work to maintain the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty."

"I am here to offer you a toast to all the imperial uncles!"

Seeing the emperor holding up the wine glass, all the princes in the room quickly raised their glasses too.

Especially those vassal kings who escaped and were caught raised their glasses extremely quickly.

He was afraid that if he was a little slow, he would be scolded by the emperor.

After drinking the wine from the cup with the kings, Zhu Yijun changed the topic again and said in a cold voice:
"Uncles, you are my humerus of the Ming Dynasty."

"But some of the vassal kings in our Ming Dynasty don't know their identities!"

"You have tarnished the blood of my royal family for nothing!"

The emperor's sudden change of tone was like a bolt of lightning that went straight into the hearts of the vassal kings.

All the feudal lords in the field were like frightened cubs, almost unable to hold the wine glasses in their hands.

And the few vassal kings who escaped thought that the emperor was alluding to the fact that they and others left without saying goodbye.

He almost left his seat and knelt down to beg for mercy.

I heard Zhu Yijun continue to say:

"Half a decade ago, Zhennan King Zhu Zaigen planned to launch an army to launch a rebellion, and there were eight other vassal princes who were secretly connected with him!"

"Fortunately, I discovered the wolfish ambition of King Zhennan in time and suppressed Zhu Zaigeng with a large army!"

"Do you think Zhennan King Zhu Zaigen and the eight vassal princes who colluded with him have soiled their royal blood?"

Zhu Yijun's words came out.

The feudal princes first wiped away cold sweat.

He quickly echoed in unison:
"Yes! Zhu Zaigeng, who is not a son of a man, simply does not deserve to have the blood of our royal family!"

"That old guy Zhu Zaigen, I have long seen that he is not a good person. He is usually unruly and unruly, but now he has indeed committed such a treasonous act!"

"Your Majesty is still aware of everything and saw Zhu Zaigen's wild ambition in time, which saved me from a disaster in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yijun listened with a smile on his face as the vassal kings criticized Zhu Zaigeng, the king of Zhennan, verbally and writtenly.

If in the past, Zhu Zaigen was the most powerful vassal king, it would be too late for these vassal kings to please him, and how could they have the courage to curse Zhu Zaigen in public.

Now that Zhu Zaigeng was imprisoned in the sky prison, they were afraid of the emperor's power, so they naturally used all kinds of vicious words to greet Zhu Zaigeng.

Zhu Yijun tapped his index finger lightly on the table.

The place fell silent for a moment, and all the vassal kings looked at the emperor above him with cautious faces.
