"Nephew, tell me what you are thinking. Why did you call the prince back? What if they suspect that His Majesty is under house arrest? What will you do? Many of them have heavy troops. If they come under the name of rescuing the king, how will you respond?"
Chang Sheng heard about the enthronement ceremony and also knew that Zhu Yunhuan wanted to call back the vassal kings.
Very confused.
"Uncle, when you're working, you're called by your position!"
Zhu Yunxun smiled and said.
Chang Sheng was speechless. "Okay, okay, Your Highness, that's enough. You asked the princes to come back. What's your intention? Aren't you afraid that they will mess around? What will you do if they force their way into the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor?"
Zhu Yunhuan still looked calm, "What I want is for them to mess around, otherwise how can I have a reason to reduce the power of the vassal states?"
"Reduce...reduce the power of the vassal states?" Chang Sheng was shocked by Zhu Yunhuan's idea.
Zhu Yunhuan hummed, "Yes, my fourth uncle has come to the capital this time, and he won't be able to return to Beiping in the short term. The other princes are nothing to worry about."
The only person Zhu Yunhuan was afraid of was Zhu Di. Although Zhu Di's Fengtianjing would be difficult to succeed in the future and Zhu Quan had made great efforts, the other party had not yet surrendered.
"Is this okay?"
Chang Sheng feels that this is a big step, right?
Zhu Yunhuan asked another question, "Uncle, if I ask you to choose between me and Huaixi, what would you choose?"
After hearing this, Chang Sheng was instinctively stunned.
Then he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one there.
When Zhu Yunhuan was in the imperial study, he didn't like having anyone around, so the eunuchs were waiting outside.
"What did you say?"
Chang Sheng seemed not to have heard clearly what Zhu Yunhuan was saying, and seemed to be giving Zhu Yunhuan a chance to take back his words.
Zhu Yunhuan repeated, "If one day, you have to choose between me and Huaixi, who will you choose?"
Hearing this, Chang Sheng sighed.
The thing I was most worried about happened so quickly.
Chang Sheng was not a fool. He also knew that no king could tolerate Huaixi's insolence, even if that person had a close relationship with Huaixi.
But once he took that position, everything changed.
"You call me uncle, so whose side do you think I'm on?"
Chang Sheng gave a bitter smile. Chang Sheng had no choice but to fight against Zhu Yunhuan.
Zhu Yunhuan nodded after hearing this and said, "Uncle, some people in Huaixi have gone too far. I am not trying to destroy the bridge after crossing the river. You have served me well. I will not pursue all your past crimes. But from the time I took the throne, we have our merits and our faults."
Chang Sheng sighed, "I understand. Can you give them a good ending?"
"I will let them die on the battlefield, give titles to their wives and children, and leave a good reputation after their death. If they live in peace and stability and don't cause trouble, it's fine as long as they die peacefully." Zhu Yunhuan replied.
Hearing this, Chang Sheng had nothing more to say.
What Zhu Yunhuan did was already very good. Letting someone die on the battlefield and leave a good reputation was better than being taken to Caishikou and executed.
"I see. I will pretend I didn't hear that, but I will also try to persuade them. If they fail, you can't blame me. After all, it's hard to persuade a damned person with good words. Let's talk business. Why did you call the princes back?"
Chang Sheng brought the topic back to the main topic.
Zhu Yunhuan leaned back in his chair and asked, "Didn't I say it? It's to reduce the power of the feudal lords!"
"But the key is, what will Your Majesty do if they return to the capital? Do you know why we could have made you the emperor directly, but we only made you the crown prince? The imperial edict could have been an abdication edict, but we only had someone write an edict to establish the crown prince. Don't you know the reason?"
Chang Sheng really couldn't understand Zhu Yunhuan's actions.
Zhu Yunxun hummed, "I understand."
"No, you don't understand! If we directly support you to become emperor and let His Majesty abdicate and become the emperor, then those princes are not fools!
He will definitely lead his troops back to the capital in the name of rescuing the king. Although we in Huaixi can help you beat them like a piece of cake, that is a civil war!
