Chapter 93 The late emperor’s edict!

Zhu Yijun looked at Sheng Duanming and warned:
"Artillery and warships are the most important weapons of the country! They are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!"

"You have to keep an eye on this matter. If there is any mistake in the quality, you are the only one I can ask!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Duanming, the Minister of Industry and Industry, quickly and respectfully promised that he would personally supervise the matter.

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at the other ministers and said calmly:

"As for summoning the vassal kings from all over the world to come to the capital, you don't have to worry about it!"

"I have already made a decision in my mind about this matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yijun felt a strong sense of majesty.

The four ministers looked at each other, and they all saw the troubled look in each other's eyes.

But now, since the emperor has decided this matter, several ministers dare not ask any more questions.

You know, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in front of him just suppressed the most powerful vassal king of the Ming Dynasty without saying a word!

Thinking about those thunderous methods now, several ministers are a little frightened.

After several ministers left, a female official from Cining Palace came to pass the news.

The two Queen Mothers want to summon His Majesty the Emperor.

Although Zhu Yijun looked puzzled, he drove to Cining Palace.

When Queen Mother Chen and Queen Mother Li saw the emperor's figure.

The expressions of the two people were also extremely complicated.

The two of them had withdrawn from the court for a long time, but they never thought that such a big noise would be made in such a short period of time after the emperor took charge.

Seeing the two queen mothers again this time, I still had an extremely unreal feeling.

They never imagined that the child who had grown up from infancy would directly and quietly suppress the most powerful vassal king in the Ming Dynasty after taking office!

This matter has not been leaked at all before!
Queen Mother Chen suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and said to Zhu Yijun with some worry:

"Jun'er, you were able to suppress Zhu Zaigen without making a sound. This is your method."

"Your mother and the Ai family are far inferior to you."

"But tell the Aijia and Queen Mother honestly what your plan is to summon all the vassal kings from all over the world to the capital."

Although Queen Mother Li did not speak, her eyes looked at Zhu Yijun with concern.

Zhu Yijun was naturally not prepared to hide anything about his two queens, and said directly:

"In the past, Taizu set up vassal kings to take charge of the world. This was originally to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty."

"Today, there are hundreds of vassal kings in the world, just like bed bugs crawling on the Ming Dynasty and sucking blood."

“Not only was the court’s resources wasted, but it also spawned evil intentions!”

"Queen Mother, you have also seen that Zhu Zaigen is not an exception. He also had eight vassal kings responding."

"What about the other vassal kings? Who can guarantee that they will not covet my throne?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun's eyes showed two faint sharp lights, and he said:
"So, I decided to cut off the feudal clan!"

"Conquer all the power in the world and return it to my hands!"

When Zhu Yijun expressed his plans, Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li immediately had their hearts in their throats.

After hearing Zhu Yijun's intention to reduce the vassal status, the worries in the hearts of the two queen mothers were finally realized.

Since Taizu founded the Ming Dynasty, he has experienced more than one vassal reduction.Every time, there was quite a stir in the entire Ming Dynasty!

But as a result, the feudal king cut off more and more!
The vassal kings surnamed Zhu are still scattered throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Even Emperor Jianwen in the past was ousted from the throne because of the reduction of vassal status. Emperor Yongle gathered the help of vassal kings from all over the world and was driven off the throne.

With such bloody lessons learned from the past, how could the two queen mothers not be worried about Zhu Yijun's move to cut down the feudal clan.

Queen Mother Chen took a deep breath and asked Zhu Yijun:
"Jun'er, since you can suppress Zhu Zaigen, you can immediately start cutting down the feudal vassal."

"The Ai family knows that they won't be able to persuade you."

"The Ai family only wants to ask you one question. How sure are you about the reduction of the vassal state?"

Facing the two pairs of concerned eyes, Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment.

Naturally, Zhu Yijun was absolutely sure of the matter of reducing the vassal status!

He even did this deliberately, choosing Zhu Zaigen just after he was suppressed, and immediately ordered all the vassal kings in the world to enter the capital!
Zhu Yijun is not afraid of the vassal kings in the world rising up to rebel. Even if they rebel, Zhu Yijun is absolutely sure to hold them all down!
Seeing Zhu Yijun's slightly silent look, Queen Mother Chen and Queen Mother Li looked at each other, feeling a little more worried in their hearts.

Queen Mother Li sighed and said:

"Jun'er, if you don't have much confidence"

"The queen mother also has a secret decree left by the late emperor, which should be able to help you add more information."

As soon as Empress Dowager Li said these words, a look of surprise appeared on Zhu Yijun's face.

He never thought that the late emperor actually left a legacy in the hands of the two queen mothers.

In the Cining Palace, the two queen mothers saw Zhu Yijun's slight silence, and they all thought that Zhu Yijun was not fully sure about the reduction of the vassal.

And Zhu Yijun is now their entire hope and sustenance.

After the two queen mothers looked at each other, they both made a decision at the same time and took out the trump card left by the late Emperor Ming Mu Zong!
Although the late emperor only lived thirty and six years in the world, he passed away.

But after all, when he was in his prime, he controlled the Ming Dynasty for six full years, and he naturally left the last trace of life-saving information for his youngest son who succeeded him!

Now, the young emperor wants to cut down the feudal vassal, and the two queen mothers also feel that it is time to take out the trump card left by the late emperor.

After a while, Empress Dowager Chen held a letter of testament left by the late emperor Ming Mu Zong in both hands and handed it to Zhu Yijun.

kindly said:
"Jun'er, open it and take a look. This is the last treasure your father left for you to protect yourself."

Zhu Yijun had a complicated look on his face when he heard this.

My father's face flashed in my mind. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was obviously still in his prime.In the end, his health deteriorated and he died young.

As the youngest son, he had to succeed to the throne in advance.

Zhu Yijun also thought about why his father's body was so empty when he was in his prime.

After carefully studying the records left by Qi Julang, Zhu Yijun finally found the answer from his father's strict schedule.
Ming Muzong, to a certain extent, was dragged down by state affairs and was exhausted to the point of physical failure.

But even when his father was seriously ill and dying, he still left him a legacy as a legacy.

After Zhu Yijun received the imperial edict, he felt moved in his heart.

Slowly opening the edict, I saw it read:
[My son Zhu Yijun personally announces it!I know that my time is short, but I am very lucky to be born into an emperor's family and sit on the supreme throne! 】

[I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in this life, so it is not too humiliating to see Taizu at this age. 】

[But the only thing I am worried about is the country of Ming Dynasty! 】
