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

Chapter 338 In the hearts of all the people, Zhu Ying is already a saint!

It can be said!
These feudal lords are far too arrogant.

They thought they had caught Zhu Ying red-handed this time, but in reality they were courting death.

After this time.

Not to mention that their power will be further diminished by the combined forces, even their personal guards will be weakened.

"Zhu Xiongying."

"get out."

"You are targeting your own uncle without cause, and you are trying to frame him."

"You must come out and give us an explanation."

"Zhu Xiong Ying, get out here right now..."

At this moment.

A series of angry curses echoed from outside the mansion into the mansion.

this moment.

These vassal kings seem to have already begun their plans, and things are getting out of hand.

"Your Majesty."

"They're already shouting insults? What do we do?"

Liu Lei's expression was rather unpleasant.

The Lord humiliates his ministers to death.

These vassal kings were furious and hurled insults, which was a slap in the face to all their royal guards.

"Let them make a scene, the bigger the commotion, the better."

"Ignore it for now."

"We'll talk about it once we've gathered more people," Zhu Ying said calmly with a smile.

"Husband."

"What exactly did the Prince of Yan do?" Xu Miaojin asked with some doubt.

After all, her sister married Zhu Di, so it's not surprising that Xu Miaojin asked this question.

"Treason and collusion with the enemy."

“When I was deep into the Northern Yuan, Zhu Di leaked detailed military information about my army’s strength to the Northern Yuan.”

“If I hadn’t been lucky, I and my 50,000 border troops would have been killed by Zhu Di.”

"In addition, Zhu Di also secretly raised nearly three thousand assassins in Beiping Prefecture."

Zhu Ying had nothing to hide from Xu Miaojin and explained the reason directly.

Hear this.

Xu Miaojin's expression also changed: "He actually betrayed his country and colluded with the enemy to harm his husband, and he even raised assassins? He's planning a rebellion!"

Why would he want to harm her husband?

"Shouldn't it?"

“My husband fought for the country in the past, and I had no vested interests with him.” Mu Ya was also a little confused at this moment.

“Because Zhu Di saw the jade disc that identified my husband, he didn’t want him to be recognized as an ancestor or to belong to the royal family,” Liu Yu’er said at this moment.

As Zhu Ying's closest confidante, Liu Yu'er naturally knew about these things.

That's it.

The expressions on the faces of everyone present turned grim.

This way.

This clearly demonstrates the magnitude of Zhu Di's crimes.

"No wonder the imperial edict only punished Zhu Di without explaining the reason."

"If this were to get out, it would be a scandal for the royal family. The Emperor deliberately suppressed the truth of the matter in order to protect the royal family's reputation."

"However, after these vassal kings made a fuss, this matter could no longer be covered up."

"The face of the royal family that the Emperor wants to conceal will also be torn apart by them," Xu Miaojin said slowly.

"It's more than that."

"If this matter escalates, the Emperor will surely be furious."

"These vassal kings want to use the matter of the Prince of Yan to target my husband, making him look like he harmed his own uncle, but they are completely unaware of the details."

“This time, they will not only harm the Prince of Yan, but also themselves,” Mu Ya said slowly.

"Therefore, there is no need to dwell on this matter too much."

"Let them make a fuss."

"They've made enough of a ruckus; the Emperor will naturally take them down. I don't need to do anything." Zhu Ying smiled faintly.

They completely disregarded the threats posed by these vassal kings.

Outside the Prince Yu Huai's residence.

Eight vassal kings gathered.

It can be said that apart from a few timid people and those who were once on good terms with Zhu Xiong Ying, everyone else came.

Eight vassal kings, each with eight hundred royal guards, gathered outside the royal palace, making for a truly impressive display of force.

This also attracted countless people to gather and watch around the Prince's Palace.

"What's going on here?"

"These are all royal guards, and they've actually surrounded Prince Yu Huai's residence?"

"Have these princes gone mad? This is the imperial city! How dare they surround the residence of the eldest grandson of the emperor?"

"do not know."

"In terms of status."

"These princes are all the eldest grandson's uncles, so why have things escalated to this point?"

"Didn't you hear these princes shouting that the eldest grandson of the emperor harmed his own uncle? I don't know if it's true or not."

"It's definitely fake."

"Who is King Yu Huai? Don't all the people of the world know?"

"He is a hero of our Great Ming Dynasty. He sealed the wolf's lair and destroyed the Northern Yuan. Moreover, he promulgated many national policies that benefited the country and the people, such as merging the poll tax into the land tax and abolishing the tax exemption. These were all personally implemented by His Highness the Crown Prince."

"It must be that these vassal kings were unhappy that the eldest grandson of the emperor had abolished their tax exemption rights, and that's why they were angry with the soldiers."

"Now that you mention it, it does make some sense."

"The eldest grandson of the emperor has promulgated many national policies for the sake of all the people, but he has infringed on the interests of these vassal kings and nobles. It seems that the eldest grandson of the emperor is being targeted by them. No, absolutely not. We must protect the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"Yes."

"..."

These vassal kings certainly caused a great deal of trouble.

Especially the princes like Zhu Gui and Zhu Bo, seeing the growing crowd, were shouting at the top of their lungs, listing the extent of Zhu Ying's crimes, wanting all the people of Yingtian to know that Zhu Ying had harmed his own uncle and to give Zhu Ying a reputation for being heartless and ungrateful.

but.

These princes not only dared to surround the palace without knowing the cause and effect, but they also did not know how much prestige Zhu Ying had among the people.

It wasn't just about the prestige gained from the founding of the nation and the sealing of the wolf's lair.

Furthermore, it is a national policy that has genuinely brought benefits to all people under its implementation.

Their angry outbursts have already drawn ire from many ordinary people.

No common people felt that Zhu Ying had truly harmed his uncle; instead, they believed that these princes were deliberately causing trouble to deal with Zhu Ying.

After all, with the national policy of merging the poll tax into the land tax.

The national policy of abolishing tax exemptions has been implemented.

Not only Yingtian Prefecture, but the whole world now knows that these national policies were implemented by the current emperor's eldest grandson, Prince Yu Huai. These policies are beneficial to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but not to the vassal kings and those powerful nobles.

The reason the troops besieged the Prince's residence must be because of these things.

As Zhu Gui and his group's shouts and curses grew louder and louder.

They didn't realize that more and more people were gathering around them, but many women had already left without them noticing, and then came young and strong men.

"Zhu Xiongying."

"Now that your evil deeds of harming your own uncle are obvious, why don't you come out here?"

"how?"

"You're known as the God of War, so why are you acting like a coward today?"

"get out."

……

Despite the Yu Huai Prince's mansion being wide open amidst the repeated shouts and curses, only the guards on duty glared angrily, and no one came out to respond, which only fueled the arrogance of these princes.

"You vassal kings are so disrespectful, arbitrarily mobilizing troops and surrounding the residence of the eldest grandson of the emperor. Aren't you afraid of the emperor's wrath?"

At this moment.

An old man's voice came from within the crowd.

The sudden cry startled the shouting princes, who all turned to look.

into the eye.

Then they saw an elderly man with white hair, leaning on a cane, his face full of anger.

"Who are you, you old scoundrel?"

"What business is it of yours how we discipline our disobedient nephew?"

Zhu Gui was known for his violent temper. Upon hearing the old man speak, he immediately frowned and cursed loudly.

"The eldest grandson of the emperor is the eldest son of the crown prince and the eldest grandson of the current emperor."

"There is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and a hierarchy between the noble and the lowly."

"Even if you are to be taught a lesson, it is not your place to act so presumptuously in front of the Imperial Grandson's residence." The old man who spoke raised his cane and pointed at Zhu Gui angrily.

"What a courage."

"You lowly commoner, you old codger, how dare you lecture me, the king?"

Enraged by the old man's rebuke, Zhu Gui's face darkened. "Someone come here."

"Take this old bastard down for me!" Zhu Gui immediately waved his hand and shouted.

Wang Wei, who was under Zhu Gui's command, was about to make his move.

"Fellow villagers."

“These princes, ungrateful for the Emperor’s grace, have gathered troops and created chaos, daring to besiege the residence of His Highness the Crown Prince. This is a great act of treason.”

"The eldest grandson of the emperor is of noble status, but he grew up among the common people and is compassionate towards their suffering. After his identity was restored, he promulgated many national policies and bestowed favors upon all the people of the world. All the people of the Great Ming have benefited from the kindness of His Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"His Highness the Crown Prince cares deeply for the people, yet he is resented by his uncles and powerful princes."

"Fellow villagers, can you just stand by and watch them bully His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The old man, holding up his cane, roared angrily.

"No, no."

"The integration of land tax and poll tax is a crucial national policy."

"They are using this to target His Highness the Crown Prince."

"We will absolutely not stand idly by."

"Fellow villagers, protect His Highness the Crown Prince."

"superior……"

The old man's words infuriated every able-bodied young man gathered around.

Zhu Yingyu has shown great kindness to all the people.

He spared them from countless harsh taxes and burdens, and bestowed grace upon all people.

Now these vassal kings have actually gathered troops to bully His Highness the Crown Prince, which is intolerable to all the people who have gathered here.

In this state of anger.

One by one, the common people raised their hands, clenched their fists, and moved closer to the royal guards of these vassal kings.

The official road here is extremely wide, and thanks to the deliberate efforts of these vassal kings, it has attracted tens of thousands of people. This time, the entire official road is filled with people from all directions.

They understood the whole story just by listening.

What do you mean by harming one's own uncle?
It was clearly these vassal kings' retaliation against the eldest grandson of the emperor for the implementation of national policies!

Countless people, filled with anger and unafraid of the armored and armed guards of the princes, began to approach and charge towards the guards in front of the palace.

The royal guards of these vassal kings surrounded the Yu Huai Prince's residence, but the tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of people gathered together and completely surrounded the royal guards of these vassal kings.

Faced with this sudden situation.

Countless people began to attack them.

This left all the vassal kings and their guards utterly astonished and at a loss for what to do.

Let them do it?
Wielding weapons at these unarmed civilians?
They would only do that if they were extremely stupid.

If this were in the fiefdoms of those vassal kings, they might actually dare to do it, but this is Yingtian City, right under the emperor's nose.

Let alone the fact that so many people were outraged, if someone were actually injured, they would be in deep trouble.

This is also true.

The royal guards of these vassal kings were forced to retreat by these unarmed but angry common people, and they were forced to retreat together from where they were originally scattered.

"What?"

"Are you lowly people going to rebel?"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Gui shouted angrily.

"All royal guards, heed my command!"

"How dare you offend the royal carriage."

"kill."

King Zhu roared furiously, his face contorted with tyranny.

"Twenty-fifth brother, you've gone mad."

Hearing this, Zhu Gang looked at Zhu with some surprise.

“How dare some lowly people act so presumptuously?”

"Kill them for me!" Zhu roared furiously.

It seems like he's gotten carried away.

They didn't care about any consequences at all.

But his order was given.

None of the royal guards dared to make a move. As mentioned before, if someone were to die in Yingtian City, no one could protect them.

"Come."

"Kill us."

"To die for His Highness the Crown Prince is a death I would have no regrets."

"You vassal kings who disregard the law."

"Even in death, the imperial court's laws will uphold justice..."

The angry shouts of Prince Zhu further enraged the people outside the palace, who intensified their attack, making the situation even more chaotic.

And this moment.

Inside the palace.

"Your Majesty."

"problem occurs."

Xiao Han ran over quickly.

"how?"

Zhu Ying asked calmly again.

Now he's letting these vassal kings cause trouble. If they have the guts, they can attack the gates of the mansions directly. Anyway, someone will clean up this mess.

These guys have caused such a big commotion this time, the palace must have heard about it.

"The people stormed the royal guards of the vassal king."

"The scene outside the mansion became chaotic."

"Moreover, that Prince Zhu even ordered the royal guards to use their weapons against the common people," Xiao Han reported with a grim expression.

"What did you say?"

Zhu Ying's expression changed, and he abruptly stood up from his chair: "Why would the people attack a prince?"

Obviously.

Zhu Ying was also very puzzled at this moment.

"These vassal kings shouted and cursed at the prince, and many people came upon hearing the news. The people all believed that these vassal kings had come to bully the prince. Some people came out to refute these vassal kings, and then a fight broke out."

"The outside world is in complete chaos," Xiao Han quickly explained.

"The people attacked the prince for my sake? They even took action?" Zhu Ying's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

"Your Majesty."

"You are a hero of my Great Ming Dynasty."

"The national policies promulgated by the Prince now benefit the country and its people, bringing blessings to all under heaven."

"The people of the world all know that Your Highness is a good man and the future of the Ming Dynasty."

“Now that these vassal kings have surrounded the Prince’s mansion, it’s clear they’re here to deal with the Prince. How could the people of Yingtian City let them cause trouble after receiving the news?” Liu Lei said respectfully from the side.

Hear this.

Zhu Ying fell silent, his face thoughtful, but inwardly he was also experiencing a turbulent emotion.

"Knew it!"

"In any era."

"Those in power know whether you treat the people well or not."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"

Zhu Ying thought to himself.

this moment.

Zhu Ying was particularly moved.

In the past, such things might only be seen in textbooks or historical anecdotes.

But now.

He has become a historical anecdote.

Countless people in Yingtian City actually went so far as to confront the vassal king, who was protected by an army, for his sake—this was unprecedented.

At least in the Ming Dynasty, this was the first time in the twenty-four years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

After calming down for a moment.

Zhu Ying said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

"Yes."

Liu Lei and Xiao Han exchanged a glance, both looking expectant.

Outside the palace.

The situation has escalated significantly.

The people stormed the royal guards of these vassal kings, and many of the guards had already taken action; the scene was completely chaotic.

Many common people have been defeated by the prince's guards.

But this only fueled greater anger among the people.

"Wang Wei, listen to my command."

"Take down all the princes and their guards in this area."
