Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 458

Having said that, who else dares to show that he will not pay the iron coupon without knowing the flattery?The iron coupons are collected to prevent you from being unscrupulous and domineering, and it is for your own good; if you don’t accept the iron coupons, the emperor will talk to you about the impartial law enforcement, and you should be beheaded and your house should be ransacked.

You have sung the black face and the white face, what else can we say?
A large group of nobles are like mourning, but they can only acquiesce in this matter.But in my heart, I have already scolded Li Shanchang and even Fei Ju to death: Without you, Li Shanchang, why would you exchange a shop for a field, and say that you are mutually beneficial with those civil servants, how can the superior be so afraid of it?
Didn't you, Fei Lao San, who was extravagant and lustful and smelled of alcohol when he entered the palace, give the superior an excuse to suddenly attack us, and even us were scolded?
The iron coupon for avoiding death... That is not an ordinary iron piece, it is another life that we have spelled out!
This is great, it's gone!
Quite a number of nobles felt anxious, only feeling that their confidence in the past had gone a lot.After tonight, I'm afraid I have to shrink my tail and start a new life.

Li Shanchang has been hiding in the crowd, with his head down, not daring to go out of line.But even so, he still felt the bad atmosphere towards him from the surrounding Huaixi nobles.

I secretly complained in my heart, for so many people to lose the iron coupons to avoid death... This is a big problem.

It's almost time for this banquet to break up unhappy.Obviously, the emperor set up this Hongmen Banquet to collect iron coupons. Now that the matter is over, it's time for the big guy to leave the palace, right?

Staying with the furious boss...you can be scared and lose your life!
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu didn't intend to announce the disbandment at all, but raised his hand so that the nobles don't have to kneel.The nobles looked at each other secretly, but they could only raise their knees tremblingly.One by one cautiously leaned against the edge of the seat, pretending to be obedient and listening to the training.

"That's the way to deal with the iron coupons. Next, let's talk about your plundering."

Everyone was shocked, this...why is there something wrong?Didn't you say that if you pay the iron coupon, you won't be held accountable?

"All of you think that we don't know. You have collected a lot of land, gold and silver, and caused a mess in the place... This matter should have been discussed long ago." Old Zhu Dama Jindao, sitting directly on the table.

"It's just that you are all generals in the army, so you should know that wealth is... evil!"

"The family has ten thousand hectares of fertile land, beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, rides in gold-encrusted carriages, and eats delicacies from mountains and seafood..."

"With such benefits, when Daming needs you to fight to the death, how many of you will be willing to give up your wealth? How can you impress your subordinates when you act like the master?"

"Life in the army is hard after all!"

Lao Zhu's tone was light, but it made everyone present have a bad premonition.

"So... let's think about it, let you choose for yourself!"

"After all, they were born and died. If you want to keep this wealth, you will take the initiative to surrender the soldier talisman in your hand. We will still give you the title and triple your salary!"

"The treasures and fertile fields you got before, we will pinch our noses and treat them as rewards to you! From now on, you don't have to live in fear on the battlefield, just be my Da Ming's free and easy Lord , isn’t it beautiful?”

"But if you still have blood in your heart and want to make contributions on the battlefield and go to the sky with us, you should take the initiative to hand over these ill-gotten gains to the court!"

"What you earn with your military exploits is yours."

"I want to hold the military power of the imperial court, but also want to gain glory and wealth by poaching the corners of the imperial court... Our Ming Dynasty, there is no such good thing!"

Old Zhu's voice is like a bell, resonant to the ground.

Among the noble group, there was a burst of exclamation.If it is said to collect the death-free iron certificate, it will be over if you act more cautiously on weekdays.

But the superior wants to confiscate military power?This is our foundation!

"Your Majesty!" The first person to come forward was Lan Yu, who had a good friendship with Zhu Su.He stood up and said, "Your Majesty's statement is not fair enough!"

"We fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield, don't we put our heads on our trouser belts, isn't it just for the beauty of gold and silver, glory and wealth?"

"After distributing the family wealth, what else do we have?"

"Your Majesty, Xiao Er has also read a few books. You want to learn from Zhao Da of the Song Dynasty. What kind of wine can you release your military power?"

"Zhao Da's actions are disrespectful to warriors. In the end, he lost his country. Now His Majesty wants to imitate him! I, Lan Xiaoer, are the first to refuse!"

After finishing speaking, he stalked his neck and looked as if he wanted to kill him.

After Lan Yu finished speaking, although a large group of nobles did not dare to object, they did not reprimand Lan Yu for his offensive behavior.There was silence in the hall, and they all used silence to protest Lao Zhu's decision to confiscate military power.

Zhu Su only felt a thump in his heart. Old Zhu had already used his power to suppress these arrogant soldiers, and it was the best time for them to hand over their military power.Unexpectedly, Lan Yu, a stupefied young man, jumped out. Being disturbed by him like this, I'm afraid that Lao Zhu really wanted to kill him at this time.

Zhu Su's guess was right. After learning about Lan Yu's future, Old Zhu was extremely wary of this young general who was already somewhat domineering.He only heard that he was the key to destroying Beiyuan, and Xu Da loved his talent and recommended him several times, so he was put in a good place.

But at this time, Lan Yu almost ruined the big event, and Lao Zhu suddenly became murderous, and he only wanted to get rid of this trouble.Seeing Lao Zhu's complexion, Zhu Su suddenly felt uneasy, before Lao Zhu could speak, he quickly slapped the table and said angrily: "Ridiculous!"

It was not yet time for him to speak, and the Huaixi generals only thought that he and Zhu Biao were just here to accompany them, so they did not pay attention to his brothers.Seeing that His Highness the Fifth Highness suddenly interjected, all of them turned their eyes over in surprise.

Even Lao Zhu turned his head with some dissatisfaction.

"My son couldn't help hearing this nonsense, and wanted to refute it. He was so angry that he was speechless for a while, and begged his father to forgive him." Zhu Su apologized to Lao Zhu, while thinking Quickly thinking about speeches.Sapphire is the number one champion of Ming Dynasty in the future, it would not be worth dying for such a trivial matter.He must be convinced and sincerely admit his mistakes to his old man, so that he can survive.

When Lao Zhu nodded in agreement, Zhu Su had roughly thought out his speech.He walked up to Lan Yu, pretended to be impartial and impartial, and asked in a volume that everyone in the hall could hear:
"General Lan, I will ask you a question."

"Where a large army fights, there are rewards for victory and punishment for defeat. Did the emperor ever deduct the rewards and punishments of the soldiers without knowing the rewards and punishments?"

Lan Yu was taken aback, but she still answered truthfully: "No. Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and has never treated soldiers lightly."

"So, I dare to ask the general, the general fought for the Ming Dynasty, did the emperor ever lack the daily salaries of the soldiers, or indulged in pleasure, and spent all the money on large-scale construction, food, clothing, drinking, etc., and asked you to pay for it yourself?" Silver taels, to pay soldiers?"

Lan Yu thought for a while, sweat started to appear on her forehead, but she still shook her head and said: "No, these days the court is short of money, His Majesty has stopped building the Fengyang Palace, and the Empress even weaves and cuts clothes herself... Tighten your belt, but the salaries of the soldiers who are going abroad are not less than one tael."

"Okay." Zhu Su nodded. "The king has one last question."

"The officers and men of the Ming Dynasty eat the salary of the imperial court, and the rewards and punishments for victory and defeat also use the gold and silver of the imperial court."

"Now the emperor wants to confiscate the military power, but you say he is unfair. Dare to ask General Lan..."

"Is this army that eats the salary of the Ming Dynasty the army of my emperor, or the army of your nobles?"

Zhu Su punished every word!
