It turned out that just as Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling sad, a person stood out from the crowd.
He held a memorial tablet in his hand and presented it to Zhu Yunwen, who had just ascended the throne.
This person was none other than the professor that Zhu Yuanzhang had arranged for Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zicheng.
Huang Zicheng, as a great scholar, was highly regarded by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for Zhu Yunwen to be a professor.
After Zhu Biao passed away, he still accompanied Zhu Yunwen's growth until Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the existence of people like Huang Zicheng was entirely to let Zhu Yunwen understand the way of being a monarch.
How to be a wise ruler or a sage king.
This was the true meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.
But now, Huang Zicheng's memorial made Zhu Yuanzhang furious.
Huang Zicheng walked out of the queue and bowed to Zhu Yunwen.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
As soon as he said this, the whole hall was silent.
All of the civil and military officials standing here knew that the person standing in front of them was the confidant of the new monarch.
She had accompanied Zhu Yunwen since she was young.
It could be said that other than the late Emperor and the late Prince Yiwen, this person had accompanied the current Emperor the longest.
At this moment, no one would be tactful enough to interrupt this person.
Everyone also wanted to see what Lord Huang wanted to say in his memorial.
Sure enough, after Zhu Yunwen heard Huang Zicheng's words, the expression on his face was completely different from when the other officials wrote the letter.
There was even a bit of admiration, as if the person standing in front of him was Zhu Yunwen's closest relative.
All of this was witnessed by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with anger once again.
On the one hand, he was angry that Huang Zicheng did not know how to be a minister, and on the other hand, he was angry that Zhu Yunwen did not know how to be a monarch.
The most important thing for a ruler was not to let the people below him understand his emotions. Otherwise, these officials would think of ways to control him.
But now, Zhu Yunwen's performance was completely controlled by Huang Zicheng.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.
The reason why he was dismissed from the position of prime minister was to concentrate the imperial power.
Zhu Yunwen relied so heavily on Huang Zicheng.
It was inevitable that the scene of Hu Weiyong would be replayed.
"Please go ahead, Master Huang."
Zhu Yunwen bowed slightly.
Huang Zicheng heard Zhu Yunwen's words and his face revealed a trace of pride.
This student of his was indeed a benevolent ruler.
Even after he ascended the throne, he did not change much and still respected him.
The other ministers were envious.
He didn't expect Huang Zicheng to have such a high position in the Emperor's heart.
The expressions in the eyes of the nobles and generals were completely different from those of the civil officials.
According to the current emperor's performance, there was a high possibility that these civil officials would ride on the heads of these generals in the future.
However, he was helpless against it.
Who asked the person standing here to be a great scholar?
He was even the emperor's teacher.
If only the previous emperor was still around.
They only needed to fight and earn military merits honestly, as long as they did not have any other thoughts.
His Majesty would not mistreat him.
However, from now on, they would have to eat at the mercy of these civil officials.
The generals looked at each other, shook their heads, and sighed before lowering their heads again.
None of this could escape the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching quietly from the side.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not change at all.
It was as if everything that was happening in front of him was not something that would happen in the future court of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Because what happened next was the thing that really poked Zhu Yuanzhang's sore spot.
After Huang Zicheng heard Zhu Yunwen's words, he bowed to Zhu Yunwen again and said,
"Your Majesty."
"Now that the world is settled, the Great Ming is safe and sound.”
"The vassals have a large amount of troops, money, food, and land in their hands.”
"I'm worried that the chaos of the Han Dynasty will reappear.”
"This subject dares to ask Your Majesty to cut off the vassals!”
Hearing Huang Zicheng's words, the entire court was in an uproar.
Not only the nobles and generals, but even the civil officials did not think of Huang Zicheng.
He actually threw out such a heavy bomb right after His Majesty ascended the throne.
The previous emperor had given the vassals to protect the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect the Ming Dynasty for a long time.
Cut the vassals!
This was to violate the ancestral teachings left behind by the previous emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side, was already furious when he heard these words.
If looks could kill, Corey would have died a thousand times already.
Zhu Yuanzhang enfeoffed the vassals, other than wanting these vassal kings to protect the Ming Dynasty.
More importantly, he wanted to leave a "family business" for his sons.
So that the descendants of these sons could live well.
He was someone who had suffered before.
He had been hungry, a monk, and a beggar.
In the end, he only joined the Revolutionary Army for a bite of food.
In the end, he reached his current position.
Whether it was from the perspective of an emperor or a father.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang would not let his son suffer the same pain he had suffered in the past.
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang conferred the titles of kings, he tried his best to give his sons better conditions.
Other than Zhu Zhe, who had chosen South Yue himself.
The other sons were either sealed to rich lands or to border towns.
Poor places should be given more land and more support.
He wanted to ensure that his sons could live well.
But now, this Huang Zicheng said that he wanted to cut off his vassal state. Wouldn't that mean that his sons would suffer again?
How could Zhu Yuanzhang, who valued kinship, endure this?
At this time, Zhu Yunwen's expression did not change after hearing Huang Zicheng's words.
He only slowly opened his mouth and said,
"Why do you say that, Master Huang?"
The young voice was calm.
All the officials in the court looked at Huang Zicheng, who would not stop until his words shocked everyone.
Huang Zicheng said calmly,
"Your Majesty, this subject made such a suggestion for the sake of our Great Ming Empire's eternal prosperity!”
The entire court was once again in an uproar.
He clearly wanted to force those vassal kings to their deaths, but he said it was for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
Didn't he know that the previous emperor had assigned these feudal lords to various places to guard the borders of the Ming Dynasty and protect the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Yunwen heard Huang Zicheng's words and nodded.
"Beloved minister, tell me in detail.”
When all the officials heard Zhu Yunwen's words, their faces revealed a trace of strangeness.
It seemed like what happened today wasn't a whim of Corey's.
It was probably premeditated.
Even His Majesty knew the inside story.
On the contrary, they were all kept in the dark.
On the contrary, the outsider Zhu Yuanzhang was not as clear as the bystanders this time.
This was because Zhu Yuanzhang was completely blinded by anger.
On one hand, it was because of Corey's boldness.
On the other hand, he was worried about his sons.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect these people to say such words.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew.
These words, when he was alive, these people definitely did not dare to say.
However, the current situation was that he had already passed away and Zhu Yunwen had ascended the throne.
Only then did they dare to stand out. In other words, even if they had already stood out.
There was nothing he could do to these people.
Thinking of this, the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart burned even more.
He did not expect that after killing so many civil officials, he had not completely frightened these people.
He actually dared to point fingers at Da Ming's empire.
He actually dared to sow discord between the Tian family and the emperor.
This was undoubtedly destroying the Great Wall and ruining the Great Ming Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Huang Zicheng.
In a voice that no one in the court could hear, he scolded,
"You deserve to die!"
However, Huang Zicheng, who couldn't hear Zhu Yuanzhang's words, smiled.
He bowed to Zhu Yunwen again,
"A vassal king is a great harm to the world!"
"If we don't get rid of it, the Great Ming Dynasty will be in danger.”
