Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 337 Zhu Ying: Since these vassal kings are courting death, then let them have their way!

As the sound fell.

Everyone gathered here had a change of expression.

Obviously.

The Imperial Clan Court has arrived.

Perhaps then we'll find an answer to the matter.

But this answer was by no means a good thing for Zhu Di's family.

"Please come in."

Xu Miaoyun calmed herself down and spoke to Zhu Neng.

"Yes."

Zhu Neng immediately hurried down to report.

Not a moment.

Under the protection of soldiers from the Imperial Clan Court.

The Imperial Clan Commander, holding the imperial edict, strode up to Xu Miaoyun.

Upon seeing that Xu Miaoyun was surrounded by numerous vassal kings, the Imperial Clan Leader was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting this situation.

but.

I have come here by imperial decree.

There was no other choice for this matter.

"By order of the Emperor, I have come to the Prince of Yan's residence to deliver the decree."

"Please receive the imperial decree, Princess Consort of Yan and all the sons of the Prince of Yan." The Imperial Clan Court official stepped forward and raised the imperial decree in his hand.

"Daughter-in-law Xu Miaoyun respectfully listens to the imperial decree." Xu Miaoyun dared not say more and immediately knelt down to listen respectfully.

Zhu Gaochi and others did the same.

The many vassal kings here dared not be negligent and all knelt down.

When an imperial edict arrives, it is as if the emperor himself has come.

You must pay homage.

"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, declares!"

"Abolish Zhu Di's title of Prince, strip him of all royal status, remove him from the family genealogy, imprison him in the Imperial Clan Court, and never let him out again."

"The title of Prince of Yan was abolished, and all of Zhu Di's sons were demoted to commoners, removed from the family genealogy, and no longer considered descendants of the imperial family."

"So be it." The Imperial Clan Court official wasted no time and read the imperial edict aloud.

As for the results after they were read out.

This order was also conceivable.

as predicted.

Upon hearing the decree...

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Xu Miaoyun and her children, in particular, all turned deathly pale.

"May I ask the Imperial Clan Court Commander?"

"Why?"

"Why is this?"

"What wrong has my Prince Yan committed to deserve such punishment?" Xu Miaoyun asked, her face pale and filled with panic.

All the vassal kings present were also extremely shocked.

When Zhu Di was imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, they were still wondering what had happened to end up in such a situation, being directly imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court.

But now the imperial edict has arrived.

The answer remains unproven.

There is only punishment, without any reason.

"lady."

"That's the imperial decree, but I don't know the specific reasons."

"This imperial decree was personally delivered by the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Yan Shuren was also escorted to the Imperial Clan Court by the Imperial Guards."

"Our Imperial Clan Court is acting entirely in accordance with the imperial decree," the Imperial Clan Court Minister said with a helpless expression.

reason.

He didn't know either.

When they inquired with Guo Zhen, they received no answer, only this imperial edict.

All he could do was treat the Prince of Yan's family according to the imperial edict; there was no other way.

"This decree has no reason or cause."

"Is this how they're going to punish us?"

"What heinous crime has my fourth brother committed that warrants the removal of his throne and the title of Prince of Yan?"

"Why?"

Zhu Gang asked with a dissatisfied look.

"Third brother, it must be that Zhu Xiong Ying who has slandered us to Father again."

"It must be him," Zhu Fu said again, his voice filled with anger.

"Father Emperor favors Zhu Xiong Ying too much."

"Even if the fourth brother really made a mistake, he shouldn't have ended up like this."

"It must be Zhu Xiong Ying."

"Yes."

"Brothers, we must go to the palace to see our fourth brother and demand justice for him."

"good."

"This Zhu Xiong Ying is outrageous."

“He may be the eldest grandson of the emperor, but we are all his uncles. If he dares to treat us like this now, he will definitely not let us off the hook if he becomes emperor one day.”

"Such a vicious imperial grandson is unworthy to be the eldest grandson of my Great Ming Dynasty."

"Let's go to the palace to pay our respects."

……

this moment.

The abdication of Zhu Di not only angered these vassal kings but also made them feel a sense of insecurity.

Now we have arrived at Yingtian City.

It is no longer the Yingtian of the past.

Zhu Xiong Ying is back.

Moreover, Zhu Xiong Ying was no ordinary person; he was full of hostility towards them. Reducing the power of the princes was the first step, and they were unsure whether Zhu Xiong Ying would treat them the same way he treated Zhu Di.

and so.

While some of this anger and dissatisfaction stemmed from Zhu Di, it was mostly due to concerns about their own safety and situation.

"My dear brothers."

"Without further ado."

"We must seek justice for my fourth brother."

"Besides going to the palace to pay our respects, we must also teach Zhu Xiong Ying a lesson, otherwise he will find another way to deal with us," Zhu Gang said with a thoughtful expression.

"Third brother."

"What do you suggest we do?" Zhu Fu asked immediately.

It can be said.

Most of the princes who were granted fiefdoms today were not clean, but Zhu Di was perhaps one of the cleaner ones among them.

of course.

Some people are morally upright and virtuous.

For example, Zhu Quan, the Prince of Ning, who had just been enfeoffed.

There was also Zhu Bai, the Prince of Xiang, who had been enfeoffed for many years but had a reputation for virtue.

"Although our father listened to Zhu Xiong Ying and took away our military power, each of us still has eight hundred royal guards."

"This time, my fourth brother was unjustly deposed and even imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court."

"We absolutely cannot let this go unresolved."

“I propose that we gather all the royal guards and surround Zhu Xiong Ying’s residence, forcing him to give us an explanation.”

"I don't believe he would dare to act recklessly with so many of our uncles around," Zhu Gang said in a deep voice, with a thoughtful expression.

Obviously.

He just wanted to make a big fuss about this, the bigger the better.

Ideally, everyone in Yingtian, and indeed the entire world, should know about Zhu Xiong Ying's cruelty towards his uncle, thus increasing his infamy.

Only when things escalate...

It seems that Zhu Xiong Ying will restrain himself in the future and dare not do anything to them.

have to say.

Zhu Gang was indeed very clever. If he were dealing with other people, this move would definitely be very useful, since many people care about their reputation, especially the royal family.

but.

He was wrong about one thing.

Zhu Ying was not the kind of person who cared about his reputation. Furthermore, if this matter were to be blown out of proportion, there would only be one consequence: the face that Zhu Ying had originally left for the royal family and for Zhu Di would eventually be torn away, and Zhu Di's actions would be made public.

even.

This would further enrage Zhu Yuanzhang, making him even more disappointed with these vassal kings.

all in all.

They managed to squander what seemed like a winning hand.

If things were done according to Zhu Gang's ideas, it would indeed provoke the wrath of the entire Yingtian, but tearing away this fig leaf would also enrage Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Third Brother is right."

"The reason why Father Emperor issued the decree this time without explaining the reason is that the reason is not enough, so he directly imprisoned Fourth Brother in the Imperial Clan Court."

"If that's the case, then we should just make this a big deal out of it."

"This will surely teach Zhu Xiong Ying a lesson."

"I think so too."

"If we don't teach Zhu Xiong Ying a lesson this time, he'll really be riding roughshod over us from now on..."

The princes all nodded in agreement with Zhu Gang's words, feeling that it was the right thing to do.

"Everyone."

"Have you ever considered that Fourth Brother might have really done something wrong?"

"Instead of being targeted by U.A. High School?"

Zhu Quan, who had remained silent until now, looked at the indignant princes and spoke.

Hear this.

A few of the vassal kings also wore thoughtful expressions.

"shit."

"The seventeenth son."

"Who doesn't know that you and Zhu Xiong Ying used to be in cahoots?" Zhu Fu retorted directly to Zhu Quan.

"good."

“You, and the twelfth brother, who doesn’t know that you’re both on Zhu Xiong Ying’s side?”

“When Zhu Xiong Ying comes to power, you will be fine because you have a good relationship with him. But it’s different for us. We don’t have a good relationship with him.”

"In the future, they might use some fabricated reason to target us."

"We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."

"Zhu Xiong Ying must be taught a lesson."

“Let him become a disgrace to our Ming imperial family.” Zhu Gui immediately stepped forward as well.

For a while.

The princes, who were initially indignant at Zhu Quan's questioning of whether there was a reason behind it, all changed their minds after recalling Zhu Quan's past relationship with Zhu Xiong Ying, and nodded in agreement.

"Sister-in-law Wang".

"I think this matter must be treated with caution."

"Fourth Brother, did you really do something?"

"If he really did it, then it's possible that the Emperor's decree only punished him without giving a reason, perhaps to save face for the royal family."

Seeing that he couldn't reason with his brothers, Zhu Quan turned his gaze directly to Xu Miaoyun.

This.

In reality, it's about being cautious and taking a prudent approach.

Listening to Zhu Quan's words.

Xu Miaoyun also looked thoughtful and nodded in agreement: "Over the years, my husband and I have lived peacefully in the fiefdom and have never done anything rebellious. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Thank you for your concern, Third Brother and all my younger brothers."

“I want to go to the palace to pay my respects to my father and ask for his favor. At the very least, I want to know the reason why my husband was imprisoned.”

Hear this.

Zhu Gui was furious and immediately said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, don't listen to the Seventeenth Brother. Let's teach Zhu Xiong Ying a lesson on behalf of Fourth Brother."

“You may go to pay your respects, but Zhu Xiong Ying must be taught a lesson.”

"This time, he imprisoned my fourth brother in the Imperial Clan Court, which is not only aimed at my fourth brother, but also at all of us vassal kings."

"If we continue to let him run rampant, we will never have peace."

Zhu Fu immediately responded, "That's right, leave this matter to us."

"This matter is not for any other reason than to seek justice for Fourth Brother, but also to prevent us from being targeted by Zhu Xiong Ying in the future. We must teach him a lesson."

"Third brother."

"Leave now."

"it is good."

……

This time.

Driven by princes like Zhu Fu, they completely disregarded Zhu Quan's words and did not wait for Xu Miaoyun to have an audience before making a decision.

Obviously.

Zhu Fu and Zhu Gui wanted to use the fact that Zhu Di was deposed without any reason to target Zhu Ying and make a big fuss.

In their words.

This means that a large number of vassal kings have already left the Prince of Yan's residence.

Only Zhu Quan and Xu Miaoyun's family remained.

"Fourth Sister-in-law".

"Without further ado."

"Go to the palace quickly to meet the Emperor."

"If we let them do this, and if it really is Fourth Brother's problem, then there will be a big problem."

"They just want to use this to target Xiong Ying," Zhu Quan said to Xu Miaoyun with a hint of helplessness.

"Thank you for the reminder, Seventeenth Brother."

Xu Miaoyun's expression also became cautious at this moment.

After Zhu Gang and his group caused this disturbance, things have already spiraled out of control.

"His Highness Prince Ning is right."

"Madam, you should hurry to the palace to meet the Emperor."

"Otherwise, if the Emperor thinks that the Lady instigated this, then there will be a big problem."

The clan leader, standing nearby, also offered a kind reminder.

Hear this.

Xu Miaoyun could no longer stand.

"Gao Chi, prepare the carriage immediately and come with me to the palace to meet the Emperor," Xu Miaoyun hurriedly said.

"Yes." Zhu Gaochi nodded immediately, his voice filled with anxiety.

With his perspective, he could naturally see the urgency of the situation.

With the arrival of this imperial decree, he was no longer the Prince of Yan, and had even lost his royal status. If his uncles and elders were to cause any more trouble, then something truly terrible would happen.

"Fourth Sister-in-law".

"I'll take my leave now."

Zhu Quan clasped his hands in greeting to Xu Miaoyun and then quickly left.

Although he was not involved.

But things have already come to this, and he has to do something.

At least we can't get caught up in it.

the other side!
Yu Huaiwang's Mansion.

backyard.

"Yu'er is about to give birth."

"The three of you are all a few months pregnant."

"This time it really is a triple celebration!"

Looking at his four wives and concubines before him, Zhu Ying's face softened with tenderness.

In a few days, or half a month, Liu Yu'er will give birth.

As for the other three, they are all about five months pregnant, so it can be said that in a few more months, Zhu Ying will have a large family.

They no longer had only one son, Zhu Wenxi.

"It's just that my husband has suffered. Ever since his sisters got pregnant, he's had to hold it in."

“He wouldn’t go to find a maid even if I asked him to,” Mu Ya said with a hint of mischief.

"You girl."

Zhu Ying glanced at Mu Ya after she teased him, her expression showing annoyance.

At this moment!

"Your Majesty."

"Prince Ning sent someone to deliver a message."

"They're very anxious," Liu Lei said as he rushed over, his face showing signs of urgency. "They're already gathering their royal guards and preparing to surround the palace."

Hear the words.

Zhu Ying remained calm: "For Zhu Di?"

"The people from the Imperial Clan Court went to the Prince of Yan's residence."

"Moreover, after Zhu Di was taken to the Imperial Clan Court, the news had already spread quietly, and naturally it couldn't be kept from these closely watching princes," Liu Lei replied immediately.

"King of Jin, King of Qi, King of Dai."

"hehe."

"This is going to completely ruin Zhu Di's chances."

"They want to use this as a weapon against me, so that I will have no name to target them in the future," Zhu Ying sneered, with a hint of mockery.

Just for a moment.

Zhu Ying then understood the purpose of these vassal kings gathering.

It caused a huge uproar.

The most disruptive.

The whole of Yingtian knew about it.

Ideally, the whole world should know.

He wanted the whole world to know that Zhu Ying had dealt with his uncle and was ruthless towards his own blood relatives.

"Report."

"Report to the prince."

"A large number of royal guards have appeared outside the palace and have surrounded it."

Xiao Han also rushed over, his face grim.

"Your Majesty."

"What should I do?"

Liu Lei looked at Zhu Ying with great concern.

"Let them make a scene."

"They're throwing their lives away with such a good opportunity, so they can't blame me," Zhu Ying sneered.
