The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 211 The idea of ​​overseas enfeoffment

Although Empress Ma, Prince Zhu Biao, including Zhu Ying, are the most important existences in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

But the other sons are also their own flesh and blood.

Like Zhu Yu, Zhu Yu, etc., who were so cruel in the feudal land, if it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have killed the nine clans long ago, but Zhu Yuanzhang forgives them again and again.

Zhu Yuanzhang also understood the issue of the vassal king. While canonizing the vassal king, he also set many rules to restrict it.

To a large extent, it is guaranteed that the vassal king cannot influence the court.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little worried about the eldest grandson.

The seemingly elegant and easy-going grandson who always smiles is actually a ruthless person, but this one is very similar to himself.

What's more, Dasun lost his emotional ties to these vassal princes and uncles because he lost his memory and lived outside all the time.

If this is a small mistake made by the vassal kings, Da Sun will take action accordingly.

As soon as I left, Dasun sent these uncles down to accompany me, so what should I do?
In fact, this has always been what Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about, so he wanted to let the eldest grandson live in the palace more, especially Yunxi and Mingyue, to slowly cultivate their relationship and truly integrate into it.

Hearing the old man's question, Zhu Ying pondered for a long time.

Regarding the handling of the vassal king, Zhu Ying actually had an idea long ago.

In fact, Zhu Ying didn't have much intention to exclude the vassal king, these uncles, or the younger brothers in the future.

In ancient times, and now in the Ming Dynasty, bloodlines were an unavoidable hurdle after all. Even the common people had a very deep concept of clan.

It seems too much to be like Emperor Jianwen in history.

"Grandpa, it's a very good thing for all uncles to guard the border, and all uncles have contributed a lot to defending the border of Ming Dynasty."

When Zhu Ying opened her mouth, she set a tone first.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, also felt very satisfied, and nodded for Zhu Ying to continue.

"My grandson thinks that now my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and my uncles, or future younger brothers, are not afraid that there will be no place for them to settle down."

"Just don't hide it from grandpa. When my grandson came to Ming Dynasty, he heard about what many uncles did in the feudal land, or was bewitched by others, which led to extremely chaotic governance in the feudal land."

"Even local officials, mostly because of their status as princes, turned a blind eye to this."

"Grandson often wonders why all the uncles became like this after they arrived in the domain. Is there any reason for this?"

"Thinking about it, my grandson really thought of a possibility."

Zhu Ying said slowly, and successfully aroused the old man's interest.

"Sun, tell me, what's going on here."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked impatiently.

Zhu Yuanzhang really felt a headache for the vassal king's troubles in the vassal land.

Most of the princes are queens, and their various natures are undoubtedly exposed. They are completely different from the good children when they were in the capital.

At first, when he received the memorial from the local officials to impeach the vassal kings, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't believe it.

Jin Yiwei was also sent to investigate.

This is not enough, the prince Zhu Biao was sent to the vassals of the vassals to conduct another investigation before his death.

This is where Zhu Yuanzhang has been very distressed, and there is no other way but to punish him and hope that he will change his ways.

The crimes committed by Zhu Yuanzhang's sons with all kinds of bad deeds are enough to become a book.

The most ruthless among them is Zhu Yuanzhang's eighth son Tan Wang Zhu Zi.

Zhu Zi's biological mother is Concubine Da, which sounds like nothing, but in fact, Concubine Da is Chen Youliang's concubine.

There are rumors in later generations that Zhu Zi is Chen Youliang's posthumous son, which is of course pure nonsense.

After all, six years after Chen Youliang's death, Zhu Zi was born.

Tan Wang Zhu Zi's fiefdom is in Changsha, and the crimes committed in it are simply too numerous to list, he can be regarded as the worst prince.

When Zhu Zi was in the capital, he was known as handsome, intelligent and eager to learn.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang favored him quite a bit, and Changsha Mansion was extremely rich, which was enough for Zhu Zi to live extremely richly in the vassal.

Including Princess Yu, who is also the daughter of Yingshan Hou Yuxian.

However, such a prince, after five years in power, set fire to himself with his wife, and even had no children and heirs, and finally the feudal kingdom was abolished.

The "Yuzhi Jifeilu" compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang himself recorded in detail the absurd crimes of the vassal kings from various places during the Hongwu period. Among them, when he wrote about the eighth prince Zhu Zi, he even recorded his numerous crimes.

"Beating Dian Zhan and Dian Bo to death...making obscene objects in the palace and giving them to the old women in the palace is all indecent.

After Zhu Zi's death, Zhu Yuanzhang, a father who dared to bestow posthumous posthumous titles like "Desolate" and "Min" on his son, didn't even give Zhu Zi a posthumous title.

It can be seen how big a mistake Zhu Zi made.

Why did he set himself on fire because he was afraid of being implicated in the Hu Weiyong case.

These are nothing more than an excuse, just to bury a bigger crime.

The last sentence in it shows that Zhu Zi has a quirk and likes old women, maybe that's why the lustful Zhu Zi has no offspring.

Among them, Zhu Zi must have done something that violated the ethics of heaven, earth and humanity, so that Zhu Zi was set on fire and expelled from the country.

What happened to Zhu Zi had already happened in the 22nd year of Hongwu.

So at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, hearing the grandson's thoughts about the vassal kings, was very eager to know the reason.

Zhu Ying organized his words, and said, "From my grandson's point of view, it's probably because the uncles were suppressed too hard by grandpa when they were in the capital."

"The uncles generally started to be feudal clans when they were in their teens. At this time, they suddenly went to the feudal lands. Without control, their temperaments would easily lead to major changes."

Teenagers are at the right time to shape their three views. At this time, they are suddenly released from long-term depression, and they are far away from their parents and go to a completely strange place.

It's not surprising that Zhu Ying has such psychological problems.

"Dasun means that because he is younger, he should have joined the feudal clan later?" Zhu Yuanzhang said thoughtfully.

The vassal king has no power to govern the place. Although he has the title of prince, he cannot control the people in the fief. At the same time, although he has a salary, he does not participate in government affairs.

However, the strength of the vassal kings is also great. They have their own army and subjects.

The output of the military households in the guard is their main source of income, which is equivalent to that of a big landlord.

Zhu Ying felt that the old man's understanding was good, so she said; "My grandson thinks that before becoming a feudal lord, a feudal king should at least give birth to an heir, so that he may be more stable. The so-called starting a family is probably like this."

In fact, in Zhu Ying's view, the vassal king was in the capital until he gave birth to a son, and he played the role of a father. When he arrived in the vassal land, he might not be so cruel.

Having children is a completely different feeling than not having children.

After a man has a child, he will generally have a more sense of responsibility, and in the process of raising the child, he will gradually become more patient.

Zhu Ying felt that even if the king of the feudal clan wanted to join the feudal clan, he had to wait until the child was five years old.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson with strange eyes.

This point is something he never thought of.

But after careful consideration, it makes sense.

Thinking about the completely different mood I had when I found out that my eldest son Zhu Biao was born, I have become much more powerful in fighting in the future.

Thinking about it this way, maybe it is really a good choice for the feudal king to give birth to the child before going to the feudal clan.

The reason why he looked at Dasun strangely was because Dasun had never given birth to a child, so how could he understand such delicate thoughts.

In fact, Zhu Ying was also a single dog in her previous life. The reason why she had such an idea was of course learned from movies and TV shows.

What gangster has a child? The prodigal son turned around. The man who wanted to speak softly suddenly had hope after having a child.

After returning home after a tiring day, seeing the child immediately refreshed and so on.

If you haven't eaten pork, can you still see a pig running?

Mainly the current vassals, left to future generations, are just a group of high school students.

It is unreliable to ask a group of high school students to go hundreds of thousands of miles away to join the feudal clan.

"Okay, grandson's idea is really good. We have never thought about it before. At present, our ten sons are planning to become a feudal clan next year. From this point of view, we should let them get married first."

"By the way, they are all practicing under Dasun now, does Dasun know something about their practice?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang praised, he asked.

Zhu Ying replied: "In any case, they are all my grandson's uncles. Although they must be a little worse than the soldiers, but it is very good to reach the current level. At least for now, no one has complained. gone."

When Zhu Ying said these words, she still sighed.

He originally thought that there would be a few thorns who couldn't bear it, and then ran away.

Unexpectedly, although there were some small moves, almost no one messed around, and everyone was honest, which made Zhu Ying's follow-up preparations useless.

That's why I practiced, and I didn't care too much.

"Dasun knows that almost all of your current identity, those uncles you practiced, already know."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

It is impossible to hide anything from him inside or outside the palace.

Although the ten princes who lived in the left and right doors did not intentionally supervise, the eunuchs who were accompanying them had already reported this uproar.

"If you know it, then you will know it. The grandson is not a big girl and shameless."

Zhu Ying touched her nose subconsciously and said.

But for these uncles who can practice themselves, Zhu Ying thinks it is very interesting.

"Since they won't be a feudal clan next year, let's make other arrangements. In the future, the feudal kings will be a feudal clan. Let's make a rule according to what the great grandson said. Those who have no heirs are not allowed to become a feudal clan."

Zhu Ying nodded, and then said: "Grandpa, in fact, in the feudal land, my grandson also has an idea."

"Oh, let's listen to what the grandson said." Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Grandpa should know about the grandson's layout of Goryeo. Recently, the grandson has been troubled by the Goryeo thing."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the main positions in the whole of Koryo are basically controlled by the people under Sun'er's command. To put it bluntly, Sun'er can change the world of Koryo with a flip of his hands."

"The reason why my grandson didn't go to Koryo to found a country, but chose the more remote Annan, grandpa also knows the reason."

"The current Goryeo has been vaguely out of grandson's control. The people under grandson's command seem to be normal, but after a long time, they will naturally have other thoughts."

"We can't let Goryeo be alone, so my grandson thinks that Goryeo might become a lot of vassal states."

Zhu Ying said.

It is undoubtedly the best to confer the fiefdoms of the vassal kings outside Daming, especially the tributary states like Goryeo.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly when he heard the words, and asked, "What does Dasun mean, complete feudal vassal?"

Zhu Ying nodded.

Not just the army, the vassals.Even the local administration should be managed by the vassal king, this is Zhu Ying's idea.

In fact, all the vassal kings are extremely good in literature, after all, they have received royal education.

The Daming Palace Academy can be said to be the highest level of teachers giving lectures.

It is much higher than the Guozijian. It is not a real master, so how can it be qualified to teach the descendants of the royal family.

Therefore, in Zhu Ying's view, these vassal kings were also able to carry the obligation of enlightenment in the past, and truly spread the Han culture.

Moreover, the name of the prince is still very useful for people outside of Ming Dynasty.

And this is more positive for the vassal kings. In their own vassal state, it is almost equivalent to the emperor's duty.

If it is fatuous and unreasonable, it can be easily resolved by revoking the vassal king and replacing it with someone else. It is mainly similar to the Zhou Dynasty, which is equivalent to the concept of suzerain state.

Looking at all the dynasties in ancient and modern times, the Zhou Dynasty has existed for the longest time. The Zhou Dynasty has a total of 32 generations of monarchs and lasted for 790 years.

That is, the addition of the Han and Tang dynasties did not have the head of the state of the Zhou Dynasty.

What Zhu Ying thought was to focus on the territory of Ming Dynasty, and then continue to confiscate the vassal state to the outside world, so as to continuously extend the territory of Ming Dynasty in a broad sense.

These vassal kings will become the strongest barrier of Ming Dynasty.

Among them is the spread and dominance of Han culture, which will have a profound impact on the entire Asian continent.

This is what Zhu Ying wanted.

A brutal unification like the Mongol Empire doesn't make much sense at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and felt that Dasun's idea was really good.

In this way, the conflict between the vassal king and the court will be greatly reduced, and the threat of the vassal king to Daming will be much smaller.

The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang believes that the grandson has enough goodwill towards his uncles, or future brothers.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is an official in the court who is very good. Let's arrange for the grandson tomorrow. Maybe he can help the grandson a lot."

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to arrange for Zhu Ying's minister.

It was Qi Tai, the minister who was assigned to Zhu Yunqi in the original history.

The main minister who once tried to cut down the vassal.
