Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

"We dare not." Everyone answered again.

The people in Huaixi were not united, and only Zhu Yunhuan could integrate them.

They dared to rebel against Zhu Yuanzhang because there was still Zhu Yunhu, the legitimate son with half Huaixi blood, who could inherit the throne, and the Huaixi group was united.

If they rebel against Zhu Yunhuan now, even if the entire Huaixi is against Zhu Yunhuan, the Chang family and the Lan family will only support Zhu Yunhuan.

If a real fight breaks out, the Zhu family has a sense of justice, and the vassal kings like Zhu Chong are not bad either. If they really fall out, Huaixi will definitely lose.

Because there is no righteousness in Huaixi, and there is no harmony among the people.

The most important thing is, even if they succeed in their rebellion against Zhu Yunhuan, who can they support? No matter who they support, they cannot guarantee the absolute interests of Huaixi.

If we say that Xu Da supported Zhu Di out of his kinship with his father, but Zhu Di was not the eldest son, and there were two legitimate sons, the second and third, before him, so it was not Zhu Di's turn to be the eldest son or the legitimate son.

In the current situation in the world, only Zhu Yunhuan sitting in that position can balance the princes and ministers.

"Don't dare? That means you admit your guilt?" Zhu Yunhuan walked down and asked.

"We acknowledge our guilt." Everyone answered in unison.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded slightly, "In this case, all those involved will be fined one year's salary! As a warning to others, if it happens again, they will be severely punished according to the law!"

"Yes." What else could the crowd say? Just accept the punishment.

It is true that they helped Zhu Yunhuan to the throne, but the moment he was promoted to the throne, he became the emperor.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.

"King of Chu, what did you just say about these meritorious officials who have made great contributions to the country? You mean that peace was originally established by meritorious officials, and meritorious officials are not allowed to enjoy peace. Is that what you mean?"

Zhu Yunhuan then turned his gaze to Zhu Zhen.

This time, he was not called the Emperor’s Uncle.

Although some words are true, you cannot say them openly.

"I know my crime, Your Highness, please forgive me." Zhu Zhen also knelt down quickly.

The one we are kneeling to is not our nephew, but the Crown Prince.

"Since you know your crime, you will be fined one year's salary as a punishment. Be careful with your words and actions next time." Zhu Yunhuan said lightly and looked at Zhu Zhen. "If you dare to object, it will not be as simple as just fined one year's salary."

"I accept my punishment."

Zhu Zhen agreed without thinking, thinking that a year's salary deduction was nothing.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded and walked back to the main seat.

Now that you have given enough power, it is time to reward you.

After a slap in the face, you have to give him a sweet reward.

"The titles of meritorious officials cannot be changed along with the country, but I will give you two choices. Let's talk openly today without any empty words.

First, the title of a meritorious official shall be shared with the country until his death, and the title of a duke shall end during his lifetime. Second, the right to share the title with the country shall be revoked, but if the merit is great enough, he may be crowned a king during his lifetime.

Think about it for yourselves, we are a minority obeying the majority, this is very democratic, after all, your majesty has not set a rule that only the surname Zhu can be crowned king. "

Zhu Yunhuan was willing to confer the title of king on a different surname. The world was so big, why not just confer the title on someone else?

Besides, I didn't promise that the king of a different surname would definitely be granted a fiefdom, really.

Even the current princes have not been able to divide the land and establish borders.

Now they are at most just a fiefdom, a piece of land.

But although I said that I would confer a title on a king of a different surname, I didn't say that I would grant him land. Can't I just confer a title on a king of a different surname in name only?

Whether to ban them overseas or to keep them in name only, isn't it all up to one's own decision?

When everyone heard Zhu Yunhuan's words, their eyes seemed to be shining.

Make the king!

If I could be crowned king, there would be nothing wrong with starting my family tree with my name.

After all, I was crowned king!

As long as I can be crowned king, what does it matter if I lose the right to live and die with the country?

Anyway, I will be famous throughout my life and admired by future generations.

As for descendants... I'm dead anyway, so why should I care about them?

If the descendants work hard, it will not be difficult for them to be granted titles. If they don't work hard, they deserve to be a salted fish who only eats and waits for death. What does it have to do with me?

Moreover, since he was crowned king, even if his descendants only made straw sandals, it would still be impressive.
