Zhu Bai was finally moved. He asked Li Jie about Zhu Di. Although he had known about Zhu Di's trip to Goryeo and America before, he only knew some major aspects. As for Zhu Di's detailed information from Goryeo to America, he didn't know much about it. After all, he and Zhu Di did not have much contact.

Li Jie was also very happy. After all, from his true heart, he still hoped that Zhu Bai and other capable princes would go out. After all, this world was too big. Just relying on the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhen, the few princes who went out might not be able to control half of the earth, and it would take more time.

But if Zhu Bai and others are willing to go out, the Ming Dynasty can blossom in more places around the world and occupy more territory as soon as possible. You should know that Europe is now on the eve of the great geographical discovery, and the Portuguese are about to start a great maritime career, so Li Jie also wants to seize the time to seize the territory and even go to Europe in the future.

So Li Jie also stayed and then told Zhu Bai in detail about Zhu Di. He started to go to Goryeo and is preparing to go to America now, which also involves some things about Zhu Ting, Zhu Qi and Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Bai listened very seriously and would interrupt Li Jie from time to time to ask a few questions. These questions are very critical. It can be seen from here that Zhu Bai was indeed thinking seriously.

Finally, Li Jie and Zhu Bo chatted until midnight, and then he said goodbye and left. He instilled so many things into Zhu Bo, and the other party also needed some time to adapt, and at the same time needed time to think about the path he was going to take next, so Li Jie did not intend to disturb Zhu Bo in the next few days.

In fact, in the next few days, Zhu Bo also locked himself in the room, and saw almost no one else except for three meals a day.

However, during the days when Zhu Bo was autistic, Zhu Zi's crime was told to the world by Zhu Yunxi, especially Zhu Zi's involvement in the interception and killing of Li Jie, which caused an uproar in the world and a lot of discussion among the people.

In the court, many officials took the opportunity to write letters, talking about the crimes of the vassal kings in various places. You should know that the vassal kings in various places are local emperors in their fiefs, and no one can restrain them. The absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Therefore, many vassal kings are also rampant and do many things that are angry and resentful.

The idea of ​​reducing the vassals is not just Zhu Yunyu. Many officials in the court also have the same idea. However, there are many reasons for these people to reduce the vassals. Some people simply dislike the vassal kings, some people are for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and some people see Zhu Yunyu's thoughts and want to use the vassal to please the emperor.

But no matter what the reason is, these forces that have reduced the vassals are very powerful. Now that Zhu Zi's crime has been announced, many people can see that this is Zhu Yunyu's first card to reduce the vassals. So the vassals also took advantage of the situation and for a while, various memorials to discuss reducing the vassals also flew into the palace.

Li Jie was soon invited to the palace by Zhu Yunyu, and then helped him read the memorials of these vassals. Li Jie also wanted to know what the ministers in the court thought about the vassals' reduction, so he went there happily.

"Brother-in-law, you see, the censor scolded him so much. He just pointed at the nose of the vassal king and scolded them for rebelling!" Zhu Yunxiu was so excited that he handed a memorial to Li Jiedao.

Li Jie took it and looked at it, but he also grinned. These censors really deserved to rely on their mouths to make a living, sprinkling thousands of words, but when they scolded others, they didn't even have a dirty word. Even the crime was repeated. This skill was amazing.

"Your Majesty, judging from the current memorials of the letter, the court also opened four to six issues for the reduction of the vassals, with supporters accounting for 40% of them, while the remaining 60% were neutral, while a small number were opposed. Compared with the various reasons for supporting the reduction of the vassals, the reasons for the opponents were very unified, and they were nothing more than worrying that the reduction of the vassals would shake the rule of the Ming Dynasty." Li Jie summarized at this time.

"Yes, although there are only 40% of the supporters, there are also a few who really oppose it. From this we can see that the matter of reducing the vassal states is still very popular." Zhu Yunsheng nodded and said when he heard this.

"From the memorials sent from various places, these vassal kings have indeed aroused the anger of heaven and the people in their fiefdoms. Even the officials of the court dare not provoke them. If this continues, they may really become local emperors." Li Jie put down the memorials in his hand and sighed.

Many of these memorials expose the crimes of the vassal kings in various places, and some of the cases were shocking, and even Li Jie regretted it. If he had known this, he would not have stopped Zhu Yunsheng at the beginning.

"By the way, the crimes of King Tan were announced to the world. What are the reactions of the vassal kings in various places?" Li Jie suddenly thought of this question and asked immediately.

Hearing this question, Zhu Yunxiu also smiled coldly and said, "They are similar to the officials in the court, with different reactions. Some are shocked, some don't care, and some have conflicts with the King of Tan, and they even applaud. They are all the sons of Emperor Taizu. I really don't know why there is such a big gap?"

"The nine sons of the dragon have different, not to mention that Emperor Taizu has many descendants. Many people were driven to the fiefdom before they even became adults, and they were all stolen by indulgence, so it is normal for some people to have short-sighted eyes."

Li Jie suddenly paused when he said this, and then smiled and said, "But that's good. After all, the more people there are, the smoother the matter of Your Majesty's depriving of the vassal states will be. After all, these people can no longer pose any threat to the court."

"That's true." Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement. If the vassal kings were very stupid, it would be much easier for him to reduce the vassal kings. Unfortunately, there are people like Zhu Bai and Zhu Quan among the vassal kings. They not only hold heavy troops, but also have quite strong abilities. They are the key to Zhu Yunxi's reduction of the vassal kings.

"Since the crime of King Tan has been announced and the court has responded well, when will His Majesty announce the reduction of the vassal states?" Li Jie thought for a while and asked again.

Zhu Zi’s incident was just an excuse to reduce the vassals, and Zhu Yunyu did not directly announce the vassals. Therefore, both the court and the people were just speculating about the vassals. Unless Zhu Yunyu formally issued an order, this matter would be hanging.

Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment, then said, "It's not enough to just announce Zhu Zi's crime. I hope someone set an example for these vassal kings, so Uncle Eleven's reaction is very important. I just don't know what he is thinking now?"
