Chapter 106 The little thoughts of the vassals!
After hearing the emperor's words, Sheng Duanming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, happily accepted the order.

Chief Assistant Gao Gong couldn't bear it anymore and praised the emperor:
"Your Majesty, this move is very subtle!"

"Those vassal kings actually didn't dare to say a word of rejection."

"Before I came here, I was afraid that it would cause turmoil in the Ming Dynasty."

"After all, I'm a little too worried."

Regarding Gao Gong's words, Zhang Juzheng, Sheng Duanming, and Fang Rui all nodded in agreement.

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he smiled calmly and said to several people:

"Although I have marked the way, my imperial uncles are used to living in a position of great power."

"I'm afraid I won't be so willing to stay in the capital."

"If this matter is really implemented, it will not be so easy."

When Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Sheng Duanming, and Fang Rui heard this, they all had expressions of confusion on their faces.

In their view, today in the palace, the vassal kings had clearly been tamed like obedient dogs by the emperor's grace and power.

Now that everything is like this, doesn’t the reduction of vassal clans count as a success?

Are there still variables?
Facing the doubts of several ministers, Zhu Yijun did not explain too much.

Some plans, if told in full, would not be so profound.
Wait for the ministers to leave the palace.

Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao beside him:

"When the vassal kings return to the inn, order the spies from Dongchang not to relax at all!"

"Keep giving it to me and keep an eye on them!"

When Feng Bao heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help but ask:

"Do those feudal kings still dare to plot something secretly?"

Feng Bao's thoughts at this time were the same as those of the ministers in the DPRK.After the military parade in the capital, those feudal lords behaved as if they were completely frightened out of their wits.

Anyone who sees them will only think that these people dare not disobey the emperor's orders.

Moreover, the emperor did not deprive them of all their power as soon as he came up.

Just let them give the position of feudal king to their own blood.And they themselves came to the capital to take care of themselves.

In Feng Bao's view, this was a good end for those vassal kings.

You must know that the death of Zhennan King Zhu Zaigen and the eight vassal kings who were connected with Zhu Zaigen were extremely miserable.

Before dying, he screamed until the last moment before finally swallowing his breath.

Even after death, those eyes were bulging, full of extreme terror.

As for the other vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, being able to continue to live a prosperous life in the capital was considered a full privilege.

Zhu Yijun did not look at Feng Bao, but looked at the birds in the sky outside the door, and said slowly:

"Who wants to be a caged bird?"

"Besides, they are still the vassal kings who hold the power!"

"Just wait, the real undercurrent is starting now!"

"I dare to conclude that after they return, they will plot something together!"

As soon as the emperor said this, Feng Bao also realized that he had oversimplified things.

Hurry up and take the order to make arrangements.

post station.

In the hall, several vassal kings looked at each other, and the atmosphere was quite strange.It was obvious that these feudal kings were all depressed.

Since arriving in the capital, it has been like being stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes every day, and I can hardly do anything.

And the most terrible thing is that they can't figure out what the emperor is thinking.

At this time, King Jinggong Zhu Zaizhen suddenly spoke: "Everyone, tell me, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do! We are the vassal kings after all! Who dares to mess with us in the capital! Now, we can't even go out for a walk. This is simply unreasonable!" Yu Wang Zhu Zaisu said angrily, his tone was very low , which sounds heartbreaking.

The other feudal princes remained silent.Although King Yu has a hot temper, he is not harsh in his words. They do have some status. Even the powerful ministers have to be polite when they see them. But it is this special status that makes They have nowhere to hide.

Zhu Zaizhen frowned: "Prince Yu is right. However, we can't stay in this small post house all our lives! Are you willing to do so?!"

This sentence finally resonated with everyone.

The blood flowing through their bodies is the blood of the prince, but now they have to live in a post house and be despised and ridiculed by others every day. This is a great shame and humiliation for them, who are so proud!
But the problem is, there's nothing they can do.

Zhu Zaizhen sighed, and then said: "Since there is no other way, then we can only find another way and find a way."

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at him.

"We definitely can't confront that person head-on, otherwise we will never have the upper hand. The only solution is that we first find a way to stabilize that person, and then we return to the fiefdom after he relaxes his vigilance."

Hearing this, Zhu Zaisu nodded immediately: "I agree!"

"But how should we stabilize the emperor?" King Yu Zhu Zaisu raised doubts again.

That's the point!
King Jinggong Zhu Zaizhen thought for a while, knocked on the table and said: "I think the key is that we must know how to delegate power. As the saying goes, what is taken in advance must be given in advance~"

"To put it bluntly, what that kid is looking at is nothing more than some territory in our hands, the army and so on. If that's the case, then let's give him some appropriately to make him relax his vigilance!"

King Jing Gong’s meaning is obvious.

As long as the safety of the site can be guaranteed, then even if you give some away, it's not a bad idea!After all, they care more about their own lives than those false names.

Hearing this, King Yu suddenly showed an excited look and immediately agreed: "I think King Jing Gong's plan is very good. If it is implemented according to this plan, we can completely avoid a head-on conflict with that kid. In fact, we can take advantage of it." He’s here to contain those guys.”

Several other vassal kings also agreed.

Zhu Zaizhen nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said, "Okay! Then we will act according to this plan for the time being. However, during this period, we must be careful not to leak the news!"

At the same time, Feng Bao, the superintendent of Dongchang, was on the roof and listened clearly to the conversations of these feudal kings.

After the feudal kings dispersed, Feng Bao went directly back to the palace.

He wanted to report this news to Zhu Yijun quickly.

At this time, in the Imperial Garden.

Zhu Yijun was walking on the trail, feeling happy.

The eunuchs and maids followed carefully, fearing that they might not be able to serve properly.

Not long after, Zhu Yijun walked to the lake and stopped, looking at the calm lake, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the Governor of Dongchang wishes to see you for something!"

At this time, a eunuch cautiously stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Oh? Pass it in quickly."

After a moment, Feng Bao bowed and walked over: "See your majesty."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "Excuse me. Eunuch Feng, what's the matter?"

Feng Bao immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, you have just learned something important."
