Chapter seven hundred and sixty fifth kings enter the capital

Three months passed in a flash, and princes from all walks of life also came to the capital one after another. The first one to come to the capital was Ning Zhu Quan. After all, he was closest to him and had already made up his mind, so he was the most open-minded when he came, but he still did not make a decision on where to go after leaving the Ming Dynasty.

With the arrival of Zhu Quan, King Yu, King Han, King Wei and others, who were also not far away, also came to the capital. As soon as these princes arrived in the capital, they immediately gathered together to discuss secretly. As for the content of the discussion, they must be guessing the intentions of the court and their next response.

Even these princes would definitely reach some deals during the gathering, and might unite to negotiate with the court. However, Zhu Yunyu did not prohibit these princes' small actions, but instead allowed people to entertain their uncles well.

As time went by, more and more princes came to the capital, especially in the last month, there were a large number of princes to the capital. The main reason was that these princes were far away. For example, the Shu King, who was far away in Sichuan, had to take a bus south first, then take a boat to Songjiang, and then transfer from Songjiang to Taijin. The journey almost bypassed most of the Ming Dynasty, which was simply too difficult.

The princes who were far away came relatively late, which was very normal, but the princes who were close may not come too early. For example, the King of Zhou was in Kaifeng and was not too far from the capital. The King of Shu, who was much farther away than him, had arrived, but he had not arrived yet.

Moreover, he was not the only one who had been dragging him down like King Zhou, and there were King Min, King An and others who did not come. There were six or seven of these together. Old Zhu had a total of twenty-six sons. Except for the few who had passed away, only a few of them did not come.

It’s okay for the others, but the King of Zhou is the legitimate son of Zhu Biao and the brother of Zhu Biao’s mother. In addition to Zhu Di, the King of Zhou and Zhu Yunqi had a close relationship for several times, but now he has not even come to the King of Zhou, which makes many princes secretly happy. After all, if the King of Zhou is willing to stand up, they will make profits from it.

However, what disappointed these people was that just when the three-month period was about to come, the King of Zhou led his men to the capital. Not only did he come, he also brought his son and daughter-in-law to come with him. You must know that other princes who came to the capital would leave their princess to guard their families, so that the court would not dare to attack them easily.

However, Zhu Xu brought Zhu Youzun and Dier and his wife here this time. After entering Beijing, he went to the palace to see Zhu Yunyu. Zhu Youzun and Dier and his wife naturally lived on Li Jie's side.

Li Jie and Di'er haven't seen each other for a long time, and she brought the child this time, which made Li Jie very happy. Li Zhu and his wife also came. The family finally got together, so it was naturally lively. Zhu Yuning asked someone to prepare a banquet to welcome Zhu Youshuo and Di'er's family.

After the family banquet, the child followed Li Zhu and his wife, and Zhu Yuning also went to talk with Di'er. Zhu Youshuo was invited by Li Jie to talk to the study. After all, it was such a big deal now, and Li Jie also needed to chat with Zhu Youshuo.

"Brother, is your Majesty determined to reduce the power of the vassal?" Zhu Youdun asked immediately after seeing Li Jie close the door of the study. Although he had guessed all this, he still wanted to verify it from Li Jie.

"Yes, Your Majesty didn't think of reducing the vassals so early, but this time the matter of King Tan happened to give His Majesty an excuse, so the matter of reducing the vassals is inevitable. How have you discussed with your father?" Li Jie nodded and then asked again. He was also very concerned about the reaction of the Zhou royal palace, after all, this also concerns Dier's fate.

"My father hasn't made up his mind yet, and he doesn't know whether to leave or stay, but he still feels resentful, so he has been delaying it until now to enter Beijing." Zhu Youzhu sighed and replied.

"The first King Ning, King Yu and others who came to Beijing have decided to leave the Ming Dynasty. They already have heavy troops in their hands and are young, so they all want to go outside like the fourth uncle. However, they have not decided where to go, but there are still a few who are willing to leave, and most of them will probably hand over the military power."

Li Jie briefly introduced the situation among the princes to Zhu Youdun. Although the matter of reducing the vassal states has not been officially announced, from the performance of these princes, Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu have deduced some results.

"Uncle Seventeen and others are very energetic and are definitely unwilling to hand over military power. It is normal to choose to go out. However, my father is not young anymore and does not have the ability and vision of his fourth uncle, but he is not convinced, so he is unable to advance or retreat now." When Zhu Youdun talked about his father, he also showed a helpless expression.

Although Zhu Youdun was extremely smart and showed great precociousness since childhood. He even took on the main ranks of the Zhou royal palace when he was a teenager. Now he is responsible for the operation of the Zhou royal palace, but he is only the prince rather than the prince after all. Zhu Xun is the one who can make the decision on the prince's palace, so he has no choice.

"What about you, what do you think?" Li Jie suddenly hesitated for a moment, then asked Zhu Yousun.

"Me?" Zhu Youzhu pondered for a moment when he heard this, then looked up and said, "I am still young. From my heart, I don't want to live like this and wait for death for the rest of my life. So if possible, I also want to build a foundation with my own abilities like the fourth uncle."

Li Jie was not surprised to hear Zhu Youzhu's words. After all, his ability and ambition are generally proportional. Zhu Youzhu has been extraordinary since childhood, and even Zhu Biao praised him. Among the third generation of the Zhu family, only Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Yunfeng can compare with him, so it is normal for Zhu Youzhu to have his own ideas.

"If you want to leave, where do you want to go?" Li Jie thought about it and asked again.

"America!" Zhu Youzun replied immediately. It seemed that he had prepared for it, otherwise he would not have answered so quickly.

"Why do you want to go to America?" Li Jie asked curiously.

"The Fourth Uncle had written a letter to my father before, inviting us to go to America. In the words of the Fourth Uncle, the Americas are too vast and he can't afford it at all. I think it makes sense. Moreover, the Fourth Uncle has laid a solid foundation in America, and it is easier for us to gain a foothold there." Zhu Youshang replied again.

"This..." Li Jie blinked when he heard this. Zhu Di actually invited Zhu Su to America? He really didn't know about this, but this matter seemed very good, but with his understanding of Zhu Di, he always felt that something was wrong.
