Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"Master Wen, this old bastard is really hateful."

"You simply don't take us seriously."

"Master Wen is also requested to take action quickly and never let him take the credit alone."

When Feng Ying walked away, Huang Jin, who had already been unable to hold himself in for a long time, immediately spoke.

This Feng Ying is getting more and more excessive.

It's just a firecracker that goes off all day long.

Relying on His Majesty’s favor, it’s astonishing!

As he spoke, he looked at everyone as if seeking approval.

But no one present paid any attention to him.

Qin Liangyu even picked up his chopsticks and started eating silently.

"Okay, Master Huang."

"If your butt is not clean, then you have no confidence in saying so."

"Even though you are clean, who told you to get involved in Confucian affairs?"

"If the Legalists want to get ahead, stepping on you is the fastest way."

Wen Tiren laughed, his tone a little helpless.

You also know that he is loved by the emperor, so don’t mess with him.

These Legalist lunatics were desperate to gain a foothold in the court.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"I'm not afraid of jokes. Sometimes I really don't want to deal with this matter."

"But Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years and through several dynasties. How can it be cut off in our hands?"

"If we are really kicked out of the court, how can we have the face to see the saint?"

Huang Jin naturally understood this truth, and after a while he shook his head and drank down the wine in front of him.

The wine is miserable.

He is already old and still has to worry about Confucian affairs.

"Huh, Confucianism?"

"It's best to get rid of unclean things as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty doesn't need trash."

Wei Zhongxian, who had been silent all this time, saw Huang Jin looking depressed.

He couldn't help but taunted.

He really doesn't like any of these Confucian stuff.

What else can you do besides causing trouble for the emperor?

He, Wei Zhongxian, would never forgive these bastards for killing his own prince because of this gang of people.

Wei Zhongxian's words made the atmosphere at the dinner table tense again.

Huang Jin's face turned dark, and he also disliked Wei Zhongxian.

"Eunuchs should not take power."

“Don’t you know the consequences of the heavy use of eunuchs in the Han and Tang dynasties?”

"Eunuch Wei is so loyal, don't do it just for yourself."

The words just fell.

Just listen to the sound of "swipe".

Wei Zhongxian actually drew his sword and pointed it at Huang Jin.

"Bastard thing!"

"You have the ability to tell us what you just said again!"

"Let's see if we don't cut out your tongue!"

Huang Jin was not afraid when he saw this.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian dared to draw his sword, he immediately stood up.

"Come on, come on, cut!"

"I am a minister, would you like to touch me?"

"As expected, eunuchs are all lawless people!"

Damn it, who is afraid of whom!

I ask you to cut me, how dare you?

The two people who faced each other in an instant seemed to be rolling up their sleeves.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of Qin Liangyu picking up vegetables.

"enough!"

Just when the two were facing each other tit for tat, big eyes staring at small eyes.

Wen Tiren slammed the table and said angrily.

"You two, this is my group's dinner."

"If you feel the food is not delicious, you can leave on your own."

"Don't ruin the atmosphere."

What do you mean?

Using a knife in front of me?

If word spreads, His Majesty will not laugh at my incompetence!

"Eunuch Wei, please sit down first."

"We are all working for His Majesty, it doesn't matter what other people think."

"As long as His Majesty is fine, it will be considered as a reproach."

Next to him, Tian Ergeng saw that Wen Tiren was also angry and quickly reached out to pull Wei Zhongxian.

What is this for?

What's the point of a good dinner and a fight?

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Tian Ergeng, snorted coldly and took back the knife.

Opposite Huang Jin saw Wei Zhongxian put away the knife, and then he shook his sleeves and sat back.

Although the two of them stopped arguing, the atmosphere of the dinner had dropped to freezing point.

The only one who was not affected was Qin Liangyu.

Without saying a word, the chopsticks kept picking up the vegetables.

"Hey, you guys..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about anything else."

"Let's talk about business."

"The princes in the south are not very honest now."

"Not only the king of Chu, but also Zhu Shuya, the king of Liao in Jingzhou, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu in Sichuan, Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang in Guilin, and Zhu Qiying, the king of Min in Wugang, have not responded so far."

"If they don't respond, the landowners and gentry who are attached to them will naturally not make any move."

"And if we want to clear the south, these princes will definitely not be able to escape."

In the end, Wen Tiren broke the deadlock.

Bringing the topic to business.

After several days of research, one thing is basically certain.

That is, almost 80% of the things in the south have something to do with these princes.

Those landlords and gentry provided a lot of gold and silver to several princes every year in exchange for backers.

If the country squires were to be tried, no matter how they investigated, they would eventually be found on these princes.

Wen Tiren was a little unsure, so he was ready to discuss it with everyone.

Although Feng Ying didn't sit down to chat, his attitude was obviously to kill him.

No need to ask more.

"Not to mention the other princes, King Chu has been a bit aggressive recently."

"I heard from the people below me that the King of Chu has been very close to several local traders recently."

"There is even a possibility of rebellion."

"I think we should take down the King of Chu first to scare the monkeys!"

Tian Ergen thought for a while, stood up, echoed a few words, and expressed his own opinions.

Because the King of Zhou has already voted.

The closest ones to Nanjing now are the kings of Chu and Liao.

One is in Wuchang and the other is in Jingzhou.

Among them, Chu King Zhu Huakui was the most active.

"Oh?"

"you sure?"

"Elaborate."

Upon hearing that King Chu might want to rebel, Huang Jin frowned and couldn't help but ask.

The prince's rebellion was a major event in any dynasty.

"The information from Prince Chu's Mansion is somewhat insufficient."

"Let me put it this way, the Jin Yiwei is very corrupt. It has only improved in the past two years since His Majesty took the throne."

"The hereditary secret stake in the Chu Palace has been broken for two generations."

“There was no money before, so we never replenished our staff.”

"It's really hard to get someone in here in such a hurry."

Tian Er spread his hands and explained the situation very honestly.

The south was originally the area hardest hit by Jinyiwei's corruption.

Many people are no longer useful.

Although Tian Ergeng has cleaned up a lot, it has also left many places with manpower vacancies.

The training of this manpower cannot be done with money.

"waste."

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian simply spit out two words.

The Jin Yiwei is the sword in His Majesty's hand, and it is one of the Jin Yiwei's responsibilities to monitor the princes everywhere.

So you just played like this?

"you..."

Tian Ergeng's face froze slightly after being scolded by Wei Zhongxian.

But in the end he sighed and did not continue speaking.

Wen Tiren lowered his head slightly and thought for a long time before looking at Qin Liangyu who had been eating.

Before she knew it, she had emptied two plates of food.

"General Qin, can you stop eating?"

"Ask you something."

"If the King of Chu rebels, can you defeat it with the white-pole army in your hands?"
