Chapter 167 The vassal king surrendered and welcomed the lords ten miles away from the suburbs!

Wang Ji was stunned.

Only then did he realize that the King of Zhou was always putting himself in trouble.

Fortunately, I thought I had successfully encouraged the King of Zhou to rebel.

King Zhou is not stupid.

He knew that now all his vassal kings were rich but not strong, and he could not compare with the vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was almost impossible to succeed in rebellion.

King Ru Ning still rebelled with the increase of escorts, but soon after, he was pacified by Wang Yangming.

Therefore, the King of Zhou did not intend to rebel, but became the first person to stand out for the benefit of the powerful officials and gentry in the world.

"yes!"

The guard had already come over, escorted Wang Ji, and dragged him out.

Wang Ji shouted, "Your Highness! Do you really want to watch them come to clear your farmland, ask you to pay grain for the court, and even engage in various ministries, otherwise you will be given a title?!

”

King Zhou said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all for your kindness! How can you instigate orphans to rebel?"

"Your Highness, please let me die and understand! Why do you do this?!"

After hearing this, Wang Ji continued to ask.

King Zhou said: "The new policy is nothing more than being forced to cut off a large amount of benefits every year to the court, but if you raise an army for you, if you fail, nothing will be gone. This is not a good deal! And if other vassal kings raise an army and succeed,

Naturally, they will change the current harsh royal family policy, and will not punish the orphan because of killing the orphan. Therefore, the best choice for the orphan is to borrow your head and express their determination to obey the new policy."

After hearing this, Wang Ji was furious: "Old fox, you old fox!"

Not long after Wang Ji was scolded, he was dragged out by the guards and cut off his head.

Bang!

Zhang Gui was practicing shooting skills in an inn inn.

But as soon as he finished shooting, he saw Xia Yunyi walking quickly: "Marty! There are whistle cavalry coming to report, and the King of Zhou has led all the officials and gentry of Kaifeng Prefecture out of the city to welcome us ten miles away, and brought all the fields in their mansion.

Book accounts and signify absolute cooperation with the implementation of the new policy.”

After hearing this, Zhang Gui put away his hand gun and smiled and said, "It seems that King Zhou is quite sensible."

"After seeing the fate of King Fu, I knew how serious the fate of going against the court was."

Xia Yunyi replied.

"You're right, go and see him."

Zhang Gui exclaimed.

"yes!"

It was rare that Zhang Gui met King Zhu Suqian of Zhou and his crown prince Zhu Gongye.

The King of Zhou first presented Wang Ji's head and his documents to Fengtian Jingnan, saying: "Please report to Your Majesty. Wang Ji, the chief of the Zhou Palace, was reluctant to do so, and wanted to deceive the officials in the palace and force them to rebel, and even

He also directly instigated me to rebel, and even wrote this document in person! In order to prevent him from really causing harm to our Zhou Palace, I had to order him to be killed first! I also asked Your Majesty to understand me.

loyalty!"

Then, the King of Zhou said: "In addition, Zhu Suqian dares not despise the court's intentions. He is willing to offer the land and account books to the Chief Secretary to show that he supports the new policy!"

"As for the crimes reflected in the land book and account book, the royal family's mansion for forcing the land, usurping the imperial power and arbitrarily increasing taxes and embezzling the people's interests, they are all caused by the Chief Secretary Wang Ji colluding with corrupt officials in the palace. I really don't know, so I'll ask Your Majesty to take a clear look! But I'll tell you the truth!

If you fail to observe, you are willing to ask Your Majesty to punish your crime of injustice!"

King Zhou knew that Zhang Gui and others were in order to implement the new policy and at the same time identify the loyalty of the vassal kings, rather than destroying the royal family. Therefore, he first used Wang Ji's head to show his loyalty, and then offered the fields to the list.

He's behavior shows his attitude of supporting the new policy, and also pushes all the sins he has done before on the Zhou royal palace to Wang Ji, who has no evidence of death, but he still voluntarily admits a crime of misunderstanding, so as to give Zhang Gui and others the opportunity to

One step down.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui said, "Since Your Highness is just a mistake, I naturally don't have to say much. I will report to Your Majesty the matter reported by Your Highness, I will report to Your Majesty the truth!"

Xia Yunyi had someone take over the land book and account book from the Zhou royal palace.

The King of Zhou next invited Zhang Gui, Xia Yunyi and others.

Therefore, the implementation of the new policy in Kaifeng Prefecture was also smooth.

"Next, I will go to Nanyang to meet the Tang King, and then go to meet the Lu King. As long as the property of these two vassal kings is successfully cleared, there will be no major problems in the implementation of the new policy in Henan. I can do it too

I'm back to Beijing with peace of mind."

Zhang Gui turned the flintlock gun in his hand and said to Xia Yunyi.

Xia Yunyi nodded and said, "What the Marquis said is that I hope the King of Tang and King Lu can also be more sensible."

Arrive in Nanyang at once.

Just when Zhang Gui and Xia Yunyi didn't know what the attitude of King Zhu Shuo-hyun was about the new policy, they heard the whistle and cavalry coming to report that King Zhu Shuo-hyun had led the King of Tang, a family member of the royal family and local officials and gentry out of the city to welcome him.

Xia Yunyi couldn't help but say to Zhang Gui: "Marty, it seems that the King of Tang is the same as the King of Zhou, and he is still afraid of the court."

Zhang Gui smiled and blew the gunshots and said, "I hope they can oppose toughly so that they can avoid continuing to support them."

"I have met the Marquis of Suizhou and Xia Zhongcheng, and have set up a banquet in the royal palace to welcome the two of you. I wonder if you can enjoy the glory?"

King Zhu Shuo-hui of Tang Dynasty was indeed very kind to entertain Zhang Gui and Xia Yunyi when he saw him.

Zhang Gui said: "How can we refuse your request?"

"So, please move two times."

Zhu Shuo-chong said.

Xia Yunyi suddenly had an idea and said to Zhang Gui: "Mr. Marquis, why don't you let the officials go first, do you take a break outside the city?"

Zhang Gui understood Xia Yunyi's meaning and nodded and said, "Yes!"

Seeing that Xia Yunyi was suspicious of him, the King of Tang was not angry and said, "It's good to do that!"

As he said that, the King of Tang accompanied Xia Yunyi into the city first, and also said: "I have asked the mansion to prepare the land book and account book. At that time, the Chief Secretary can check it at any time."

"Then you will offend Your Highness at that time."

Xia Yunyi said here and ordered his own camp: "Take the Nanyang City Defense!"

As he said that, Xia Yunyi ordered Liu Kui, the prefect of Nanyang who was also beside him, and said, "Prince Liu, let your soldiers temporarily withdraw from the city and set up camp."

"yes!"

The prefect Liu immediately agreed.

Xia Yunyi said to the King of Tang here: "Your Highness, please forgive me for my own risk. For the sake of the court's career, it is better for us to be a villain first and then a gentleman. Therefore, we also ask your royal palace guard to withdraw to the backyard of the royal palace.

How will the front yard and royal city be taken over by the Xichang official school later? In addition, the banquet must be set up in the front yard."

"you!"

At this time, Zhu Qiye, the third son of the Tang King, couldn't help but shout angrily.

King Tang hurriedly glared at his son, then smiled and said, "I should do this. It's just that the child is rude, please forgive me!"

Xia Yunyi smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay! How could this official be skeptical with the nobles! In fact, in Kaifeng, we did this too. Now we are doing this to avoid being favored by one or the other."

"clear!"

So, the King of Tang said, "I passed the orphan order, and the guards of the royal city and the front yard are all removed from the back yard!"

After that, Zhang Guicai took the Xichang official school into the Tang Wang Mansion and asked his Xichang people to take over the guards of the royal city and the front yard of the royal palace.

At the beginning of the banquet, Zhang Gui first asked the King of Tang: "I heard that Your Highness has three sons, why do you only see two sons now?"

The King of Tang said, "The dog son Zhu Qibang is in poor health and cannot come to meet guests. Please forgive me!"

Zhang Gui nodded after hearing this.

"What, the Marquis of Suizhou wants to see our elder brother?"

At this time, Zhu Qiye asked.

Zhang Gui asked intently: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Qiye suddenly stood up and sneered: "Then you may never see you in your life!"

"That's right, my elder brother said that today we wait for the royal family must take your life!"

At this time, Zhu Qijun, the second son of the Tang King who had not spoken, suddenly shouted loudly.

For a moment, the children of the royal family present stood up and pulled out the goose-ling sword hidden under the table.

Not long after, a handful of goose feather swords with cold light were pulled out.

Zhu Qizhan then ordered again: "Go! Kill him to death!"

For a moment, Zhu Qixiao quickly approached Zhang Gui within five steps and stabbed Zhang Gui in the abdomen with a knife.
