Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 395 Chapter of Gu Kingdom, Xu Kingdom and Zu Kingdom: Dragon gives birth to nine sons
The State of Jin established its capital in Hyderabad and renamed it Jinyang.

In the 60th year of Jingtai, King Zhu Jianzhan of the Jin Dynasty changed Bombay to Bitang City and established a port city integrating industry and trade.

At the same time, the port city of Avonigda on the West Sea was renamed as a port and an Oriental Trade Center was built.

Jungang was originally the land of the Gu State. The Gu State gave 50 kilometers of territory to the Jin State, and the Xu State also gave 50 kilometers of territory to the Jin State. This is how Jungang was born.

The two countries no longer share a border.

In particular, Xu State has completely become a vassal state of Jin State.

Zhu Jianzhan is the fourteenth son of the emperor and is just fifty years old this year.

But he was so ambitious that he waited for his father to die so that he could annex the Gu Kingdom.

Unifying India and becoming a true hegemon, not only dominating South Asia, but also dominating the world, is what he has in mind.

He is not interested in infrastructure, nor is he interested in making money from the economy. The Gu country is so rich, as long as the Gu country is annexed, the industrial foundation will be there.

The Valley King Zhu Jianxi had a weak character and was sealed in Dongyin because it was adjacent to the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty could help him speak for him.

Outside the city, chimneys soared into the sky, emitting black smoke. Heavy industrial factories, just outside the city, discharged wastewater into the river, causing a large number of fish and shrimp deaths.

These are slaves who have performed meritorious services and come from all races. After they are released, they automatically become Jin people.

Zhu Jianzhan also invented advanced artillery and infantry tactics, combining artillery and infantry.

Here, the military atmosphere is very strong, and people are proud to be soldiers.

In the schools of the Jin Dynasty, students did not dare to laugh. They had to sing war songs before class. They had received military education since childhood.

The old emperor had no choice but to carve out a piece of land in West Bengal and give it to King Gu to build the capital.

Sealed in Dongyin, adjacent to the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are cautious, you will be safe.

The slaves were also unsmiling and even more serious than the Han people. They were the main generals in the army.

Jin's work efficiency is surprisingly high, but there is no service with a smile. Even ordinary women have a sullen face.

There are eleven military factories, producing mountains of firearms and artillery shells.

Let them go dog-eat-dog.

The Ning State wanted to change its status to the Qin State because it had the ambition to compete for hegemony.

The capital was originally set in the center of East India, but as the Jin state became more and more fierce, he moved the capital to Calcutta in West Bengal, next to the border of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that Jin's cannons are the most advanced cannons in the world.

Once the Jin State invades here, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the Ming Dynasty.

What children mainly learn is not cultural knowledge, but more military knowledge.

Completely different from the slow life of Xu State and the optimist life of Ning State, this place is full of chilling atmosphere.

The dense clouds of war are the best portrayal of the Jin Dynasty.

The King of Gu kept crying and begging, and the Jin Dynasty kept encroaching on the territory of the Kingdom of Gu. The King of Gu wanted to return to Beijing and no longer wanted to be a foreign vassal.

Originally, West Bengal was also a bright land.

According to the legal system, this land belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

The largest number of heavy factories in the Jin Kingdom were this kind of heavy factories, which all produced military products.

According to the old man, when the indigenous people were being cleared out, women all killed people.

The roads in the capital are dilapidated and unmanaged.

As for the others, no more.

The Valley Kingdom was sealed in Dongyin, and the Ning Kingdom was divided by the Ganges River. The boundary with the Jin Kingdom was rather blurred. Anyway, if the Jin Kingdom moved forward, they would retreat.

As long as the Gu State makes good use of its geographical advantages, engages in trade, and kills the old King of Jin, two generations later, the Gu State will be able to rely on its economy to dominate India, and even if it attacks back, the Jin State will also suffer.

Ning and Xu are grain-producing countries. As long as they annex these two countries, what will Jin lose?
The Jin State has 500 million people, and it can draw up to 70 million soldiers. The human sea tactics can drown the Ning State in the valley. With the advantage of the two countries, the construction emperor of Ning State will be his opponent?
Zhu Youqian's feeling in Jin was that the military was strong.

There are one million people in Jin who are not Han people.

In the Jin State, there was only one way to rise, which was to serve as a soldier, fight, and fight!

But don’t think that King Gu is really greedy for life and afraid of death.

The officials who jumped to the court were all soldiers, as if they were a war machine from top to bottom.

There were no smiles on the street, and there were no entertainment activities. Even the children playing goose-stepping and marching in military formations. Zhu Youjin’s biggest feeling was that it was simple and concise.

Brother Zhu Youque only stayed for three days, but he couldn't stay any longer and transferred to Gu Kingdom.

Who makes the King of Grain greedy for life and afraid of death?

The Jin State seemed to be sharpening its sword, but in fact it did not dare to destroy the Gu State.

Zhu Youqian's evaluation of the Valley King Zhu Jianxi is brainless.

The King of Valley should divert the disaster eastward and divert the attention of Jin to Ning.

In the past few years, he has continued to flirt with the Jin State. After moving the capital, he asked the Jin State for the land he sent over, which led to an increasingly tense situation between the two countries.

However, King Gu didn't expect any of this.

King Gu is 1.97 meters tall. He is the tallest among the old emperor's disciples, and also the one with a weak brain. He is the sixteenth oldest. His mother-in-law is Qin Fei, and Qin Hong is his uncle.

But this guy is unlike anyone else. Qin Fei is smart and Qin Hong is extremely talented, but he is not bright-minded and is different from his brothers.

However, Gu Country's trade is prosperous. After all, it is close to the Ming Dynasty, and a little leakage from the Ming Dynasty is enough for them to eat and drink.

But economic development is extremely uneven.

The economy of West Bengal is particularly developed, but the southern territory is very underdeveloped and becomes increasingly barren as you go south.

Development used to be balanced.

After King Gu discovered the ambition of King Jin, he began to shift the economic center to the north. The areas close to Daming and Ning were all developed areas of Gu.

The same goes for the population, with the total population of Gu country being 3.1 million.

Mainly concentrated in the Ganges River Basin and West Bengal.

Logically speaking, with such a large population, Gu Country should not be so weak.

On the one hand, Jin is too strong.

On the other hand, King Gu is really unreliable. He is not smart, his policies are inconsistent, and his ministers are also sycophants.

A famous minister wanted to go to the Ming Emperor, but was forced to death by King Gu.

As a result, the wise people retreated and the hearts of the people in the country were scattered.

The foundation of a great country was turned into a super weak chicken by the King of Gu.

Gu Wang is still a stubborn person and loves to play with everything.

When the government affairs were left to the eunuchs and ministers, he was responsible for playing around in the palace and did not pay much attention to domestic construction. Corruption in the court was serious and the political situation was chaotic.

This is why King Jin is staring at him.

When Brother Zhu Youque saw King Gu, he saw that he was weak. He was simply drained of his body by the wine. He was forty-nine years old and it looked like he had less than two years to live.

As long as new medicine is developed, otherwise Gu Wang would have died long ago.

Gu Wang is not very good in any aspect, but he can survive.

They gave birth to 33 sons and 47 daughters, a total of 80!
The old emperor only gave birth to 41 sons, 27 daughters, and only 68.

The Valley King is still alive than the old Emperor.

In this aspect, the King of Valley defeated all the feudal kings.

The King of Jin, who was busy sharpening his sword, had a very difficult time giving birth to a son. He only had four sons and two daughters, making him the most difficult to have heirs among the vassal princes.

The King of the Valley is just normal. There is a baby born this year, but it will make you angry to death.

As a super gamer.

What goes up and what follows leads to action. Folks mainly focus on having fun, and there are endless entertainment projects. The two brothers Zhu Youque have a great time.

Reluctantly left Gu Country.

Take a train to India’s fifth country, Xu State.

The train departs from Calcutta (the capital of the Valley) and has to pass through the unprosperous southern part of the Kingdom of Valley along the way. It also has to pass through the Kingdom of Jin before it can reach the Kingdom of Xu.

Leaving the prosperous north and seeing the scene in the south, the brothers were stunned.

"Is this the Valley Country?"

Outside the car window, there are criss-crossing mountain roads, the people are naked, and the scorching sun has baked people's skin black. The people here are all elderly.

There are no asphalt roads, they are all dirt roads, not even mellow soil. It is impossible to walk when it rains. The roads are dilapidated and the houses are in ruins. This is a true reflection of this place.

One after another, old people walked slowly, and when the train stopped, they poked their heads in to sell things.

Only after understanding.

These are all empty-nesters, and the young people have gone to work in the north.

This used to be an asphalt road, and it was also a straight and straight road, and people lived a good life in the past.

But as the Jin State sharpened its sword, Gu State completely gave up on the south, plowing up all the asphalt roads and destroying all the dirt roads.

It also created a fifty-kilometer no-man's land at the junction of the two countries and created countless muddy ponds, all of which were buried with bombs.

No matter how much land the south can cultivate to develop trade, the Gu Kingdom will not want it.

The worst case scenario is that the entire south will be lost and all Jin's population will be consumed here.

The two countries have been at odds with each other for a long time, but the central dynasty didn't know it.

The Valley Kingdom had long since established its walls and cleared the country, completely abandoning the south and concentrating on managing the land at the mouth of the Ganges River, resulting in huge differences between the north and the south of the Valley Kingdom.

The reason why the population of Valley Country is so small is that the south has been destroyed and food cannot feed too many people. Otherwise, the population of Valley Country will double.

India as a whole can feed a population of 30 billion.

After the special train stopped briefly, it blew its whistle again and headed south.

The further south you go, the more desolate it becomes.

Except for the railway line, it is all ruined land. Once Jin and Gu go to war, the Gu State will immediately cut off the railway line, leaving Jin in a quagmire.

The train left the border of Gu Kingdom and entered Jin Kingdom.

After crossing a hundred kilometers, we entered the Xu Kingdom.

King Xu is the thirteenth son of the emperor Zhu Jianli. His mother-in-law is Concubine Bai, and his great-grandfather is Bai Gui.

Zhu Jianli can be said to be the least outstanding among the emperor's disciples, so he was sealed on the Deccan Plateau.

There are advantages to sealing it here, because the land is barren, there is not much food, and it is located on a plateau, so a small number of troops can effectively defend it, and it is rich in mineral resources. It can be self-sufficient by exporting minerals.

The disadvantages are also not small. This place does not have the capital to compete for hegemony, and it will never be able to participate in the competition. It is also adjacent to the ambitious Jin State, so it is impossible not to be humble and small.

The old emperor's decision to grant such a fiefdom was also due to Zhu Jianli's character. Zhu Jianli had a character that neither competed nor grabbed, and he had no talent.

Giving him a good piece of land will cause covetousness, and in turn, he will lose his feudal status.

Give him a piece of bad land and he won't be able to manage it.

He can only be given a piece of fiefdom that won't slip away. The average altitude of the Deccan Plateau is 450-900 meters. It is higher in the west and lower in the east. Due to the rain, many rivers are formed. The rivers cut and fragment the Deccan Plateau, forming hills of different sizes in the east and west. Mountains, valleys, plains and basins.

From the perspective of geographical environment, this place is far from being as rich as the Indus River Basin and Ganges River Basin, but compared with China, it is still a good territory.

The lack of wealth here is compared to that in India. It can be seen as the topography of the two lakes, which is actually pretty good.

King Xu was indeed not very good at governing, but he still lived well with a population of 8000 million under his rule.

Zhu Jianli is a person who is not good at writing or military. He has one advantage: he can listen to advice and his character is consistent with what others say.

He is not good at being an overlord, but he is good at being a benevolent king.

Therefore, Xu State was the freest country among all the feudal states. The central government hardly forced anyone to interfere with people's lives, and the people lived very freely and comfortably.

Zhu Jianli is not a character who wants to compete for hegemony. The state of Xu closely follows the state of Jin and is willing to be a younger brother, so the people are blessed and do not have to participate in the war without corvee.

His only hobby is crickets.

In this regard, he is like his grandfather Emperor Xuanzong, and people jokingly call Zhu Jianli the Cricket Emperor.

Because of crickets, the government and the public often advised him, but he always smiled and agreed. In fact, he secretly raised crickets. The emperor of a country can secretly raise crickets, which is a blessing to the government and the government.

Once he was in a hurry to go out to fight with crickets, but officials from the central government came to discuss state affairs with him. He endured his impatience, and after finishing the discussion with the ministers, the cricket was suffocated to death. He cried for a long time in the palace, and there was nothing to do afterwards. Blame the minister.

The people said that King Xu was a benevolent king, just like Emperor Renzong.

But people don't know that Emperor Renzong's temple name is Ren, but in fact it has nothing to do with kindness. He has a ruthless and violent character, not a fat man with a smile.

On the contrary, Zhu Qiyu, the most unforgiving person, is truly kind.

From Taizu to the four emperors Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong, none of them could be said to be kind, and even a little cruel.

King Xu is also fifty years old this year.

He was the same age as King Zhu Jianzhan of Jin. He knew that King Ning was seeking to change his title, and he also wanted to take over King Ning's title.

Xu was the most inconspicuous among the princes and kings of the Spring and Autumn Period. On the contrary, Ning, who was inconspicuous in the previous dynasty, had a very important title in this dynasty.

The biggest feeling Zhu Youque and his brothers felt in Xu State was peace.

The government is tolerant and the people are harmonious.

The political environment was very relaxed, and a prosperous entertainment industry was naturally born.

The novels of the Ming Dynasty were very popular in Xu State, and Xu State gave birth to many novelists. Novels such as mystery, detective, love, and martial arts novels formed various genres in Xu State and were exported all over the world.

Many well-known novel writers among the people are all from Xu.

Xu Guo gave birth to the world's first movie.

A movie made from photos.

The highly developed folk entertainment industry has created entertainment practitioners who have a high social status among the people.

Xu Guo established his capital in Bangalore and changed its name to Xudu, also called Ruomu.

Ruomu was the first king of Xu State during the Spring and Autumn Period.

The feudal state of Xu was divided into feudal states starting from the Xia Dynasty. It has been a feudal state for 1,600 years. It was not well-known in later generations, but it was actually a vassal state with a long history.

In the past two years, Jin's ambitions for hegemony have grown stronger and stronger.

Xu State is not as thorough as Gu State.

However, on the border between the two countries, barbed wire fences have been erected, boundary bridges have been built, and landmines have begun to be laid.

Last time, in order to satisfy Jin State, Xu State donated fifty kilometers of land on the east coast of India, which gave Jin State enough face.

But the king of Jin went too far. He actually wanted Xu to help Jin and jointly sent troops to attack Gu.

King Xu had no ambitions for hegemony, and he was not a hegemony person.

Simply refused.

After that, Jin State began to target Xu State.

Anyway, Xu State is not afraid. The coastal areas are blocked by mountains. At worst, if the coastal cities are abandoned and retreated into the mountains, the Jin State will not be able to invade.

Besides, Xu Guo is just a dung beetle. Not only is it disgusting to eat, but there is no meat left.

Among the five kings of India, Xu was the poorest.

Although there are many minerals, there is no sufficient food base to support a sufficient population, so naturally it does not have the capital to dominate.

No matter how valuable the minerals are, they have to be dug by people. Only after they are dug out and refined can the money be made.

The maximum population capacity of Xu State is about 1.5 million.

This also requires a good relationship with Ning Guo. Xu Guo needs Ning Guo's food.

Therefore, once they unite with Jin to attack Gu, Xu's food routes will be cut off.

No one is a fool. Gu Guo will definitely unite with Ning Guo, and Ning Guo will definitely cut off its food attack on Jin and Xu.

Don't forget, there is a forbearing Xu Guo next to him.

In fact, India still has a country that has no sense of existence.

The State of Xu neither strives for hegemony nor participates in it.

King Xu is born in the year of cotton, and he will endure it if he steps on it.

In the worst case, seek justice from the sovereign state.

The Ming Dynasty's control over the world has not yet declined. No matter how powerful the Jin Kingdom is, can you compete with the Ming Dynasty?
Even if his biological father is gone, the prince will still help Xu Guo.

Because all the minerals of the Xu State were exported to the Ming Dynasty, the production of Baiyue Land in the Ming Dynasty all depended on the minerals of the Xu State.

In the 62nd year of Jingtai, King Xu came up with the idea of ​​developing industry.

Dismissed randomly.

Because it is too obvious that the Jin State wants to go to war, it is better not to act like a leader at this time. The land of Xu State is rotten and the people are poor. If the people in the Xu State become rich, it is estimated that the Jin State will be the first to pick on the soft persimmons.

Xu Guoben wanted to build Chennai into a special economic zone.

The project was established, but the idea was finally given up.

Because Chennai is too close to Jin and is on the sea, it can easily be destroyed by Jin's navy.

Sometimes King Xu felt aggrieved.

It is clear that Xu State can become better, but this Jin State must not let others change for the better.

The Jin State is resorting to militarism, fighting this and that like madmen, trying to unify India. Is India yours? Do you have a unified legal system?

This is a feudal state granted by His Majesty. We are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. Why do you want to be a overlord?

Your Majesty is your father, not mine?
I'm still your brother!
Why can't we settle down, revitalize the economy, let the people live a good life, and be a stable king? Isn't it good?

There must be war!

War will only bring disaster to the people!
Do you want India to enter the era of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties? Do you have to have endless wars to be satisfied?
What are you picturing?

Zhu Jianli hated King Jin very much, that little old man, a little psychopathic, a little carrot head.

When you were a child, you were teased by your brothers, so when you grew up, you wanted to take revenge?
There is no reason for such a domineering King Jin.

He just wants to unify India. Are you crazy about the idea of ​​unification? This is India, not Ming Dynasty! There is nothing that will be separated after a long time and will be reunited after a long time!
Everyone has the same feudal kingdom and the same king, so why should we be the emperor?
Why don't you use your brain?

Even if you could unify the Ming Dynasty, would the emperor agree? Will Daming agree?

Do you have the ability to compete with Daming?
Do not be silly!
Look at the Ming Dynasty. It has entered the electrical revolution. Everyone has a telephone. You can hear sounds thousands of miles away by pressing a button!

In what age do we still fight with swords, guns, axes and axes?
King Xu hated war the most and wanted to stay away from it.

He not only warned himself this way, but also kept instructing his sons.

He was very satisfied with his prince.

He originally had nine sons, but only five survived to adulthood.

Precisely because his sons died frequently, he was particularly tight on their education. If he couldn't do it himself, he would pin his hopes on his sons.

Prince Xu, Zhu You and Luan Xian, were well-known and polite, and acted in a relaxed and measured manner.

In the past two years, King Xu has been delegating power, and all national affairs have been handled by Prince Xu Zhu Youluan. He has already informed the court that he wants to give the throne to Prince Xu.

Unlike other vassal princes' families, King Xu is particularly like the old emperor. He is greedy for power but not hegemonic. He knows how to delegate power and how to position himself correctly.

Just like the old emperor, he was worried that he was old and dim, so he gradually transferred his power to the prince and grandson. The three generations of grandfather and grandson jointly presided over the government, which is a good story of the generation.

He even presided over government affairs when he was in the country.

All the vassal princes have handled government affairs, and many have even served as local governors. Among the vassal princes who are far away in their fiefdoms, who doesn't remember their father's goodness?

The Ming Dynasty's prosperity today is directly related to the old emperor.

Therefore, people all over the world put the old emperor on the altar.

Therefore, the people of the world did not agree with the old emperor's abdication.

If such a god-like emperor died, the cries would stretch for thousands of miles.

King Xu knew that he was the most useless, so he educated his son seriously, hoping that his son would make him look good, govern the Xu Kingdom well, and gain praise from his father.

This is his greatest wish.

Therefore, he has been imitating his father, educating his son well, and began to delegate power.

Zhu Youque's first impression of Zhu Youluan was that he was handsome.

Zhu Youluan's words make people feel comfortable. He seems to be slick, but he is also very sincere. If you stay with him for a long time, you will have the thought of being a scholar and dying for your confidant.

Even Zhu Youque was willing to get close to Zhu Youluan.

He secretly thought that when Prince Xu succeeds to the throne, the situation in India may change again.

The state of Jin practiced domineering, the state of Xu practiced the way of benevolence, the state of Xu used the way of tolerance, the state of Ning followed the way of kingship, and the state of Gu ran wildly on the road to wealth.

None of it is given for free.

The princes of the Five Kingdoms were all difficult to deal with, and the most powerful among them was the Crown Prince of Xu.

Before, he thought that Prince Jin was the most powerful, because Prince Jin had a murderous spirit, spoke rudely, like a general, took the lead in battle, was very brave, and was a generational overlord.

It can be seen that after meeting Prince Xu, I realized that Prince Jin was nothing more than a reckless man. Prince Xu had figured out people's hearts.

One of the two men resembles Xiang Yu and the other resembles Liu Bang.

In the future, India will be a conflict between Chu and Han.

Let’s look at the issues that troubled Xu Guo and Ning Guo.

There is no such thing in Xu State.

Xu has a population of 7800 million, with a Han population of 200 million and a foreign population of million.

There are not many people who believe in Hinduism.

Because the Xu State acted as a dog for the Jin State, the Jin State helped to clean up and converted some natives who were willing to obey into Han people.

King Xu did his work quietly, seemingly not doing anything, but he got it done quietly.

The nine sons of the dragon each have their own interests.

However, as long as he is the son of a dragon, he is a true god.

Zuo Guo is the most easily overlooked king in India.

This is the last stop for brothers Zhu Youque in India.

The country of Zuo also has a territory on land.

The arc-shaped territory on the Palk Strait all belongs to the country.

However, the presence of Zouguo in India is extremely low.

Even the old emperor would ignore his existence.

The entire island of Sri Lanka belongs to the Kingdom of Zuo. The reason why King Zuo was named here is because King Zuo was in poor health and was the first king to be named. King Su has dragged his feet on living until now.

He is the sixth son of the emperor, his mother-in-law is Concubine Mao, Mao Sheng is his great-grandfather, and he is married to the granddaughter of Xiang Zhong.

He is fifty-four years old this year.

He has been on the sickbed for three years.

The real purpose of the brothers Zhu Youque was to come to the country of Juan, which was to take a look at Zhu Jianchao's physical condition on behalf of the old emperor.

The old emperor was in the capital and was worried about his sixth son's health, so he sent his two grandsons to take a look.

But the situation the brothers saw was not optimistic.

According to Zhu Youzhen, Prince of Su, Prince Su has not eaten rice for three days, and that's all for the past few days.

After hearing the news, brother Zhu Youque felt sad.

Even the dignified grandson of the Dragon Son cannot escape this day.

On the third day of Zhu Youque's circling, King Su passed away.

No one dared to open the old emperor's autographed letter to Prince Su, so he could only go with Prince Su.

The state of Zuo wants to report the funeral to the state of Shang.

But Zhu Youque stopped Prince Su because the old emperor was too old and might not be able to bear the pain of losing his son. He should first take the memorial to the cabinet and let the cabinet take note of the situation and report the funeral.

Zhu Youzhi burst into tears: "When my father was still alive, he often talked about going to the capital to see the emperor's grandfather, but he was too busy with worldly affairs to fulfill his filial piety."

"When the news of the death of the imperial grandmother came, my father locked himself in the room for seven days. When he opened the room again, his hair was already white."

"He always said that he did not fulfill his filial piety under the knee of the imperial grandmother, so the imperial grandmother died young."

"When my father was dying, he was still calling his grandfather and grandmother..."

Zhu Youzhen is forty-four years old, but he keeps crying.

In fact, Concubine Mao also lived to the age of sixty, which was regarded as her death.

She was suffering from an acute illness and needed an operation, but she refused to be examined by the doctor and refused to have an operation, which ultimately delayed her death.

This incident became the biggest pain in King Suo's heart.

Mr. Zuo said that it would be great if he studied medicine so that he could operate on his mother.

Zhu Youzhi grew up in the palace since he was a child.

There are feelings in the palace. Take a look at every plant and tree in the Forbidden City of Shan State and completely restore the Forbidden City. What was restored was not the Forbidden City built by Kuai Xiang, but the Forbidden City modified by Zhu Qiyu.

For example, the Forbidden City of the Jin Dynasty incorporated a unique military architectural style.

The Forbidden City in Guwang incorporates local Indian architectural styles.

Only the Forbidden City in the Kingdom of Zuo is perfectly reproduced one to one.

Prince Su is the eldest prince and should have been the overlord among the six kings of India. After all, he is the eldest brother, but he has a soft temper and cannot bear this responsibility.

Therefore, when he learned that the Xu State had sent land to the Jin State, he believed that he was the elder brother and had the responsibility to supervise his younger brother, but he could not speak to the King of Jin.

Simply give your territory on land to Xu State to make up for Xu State's losses.

Just like the Maldives, it was originally the territory of the country.

But because of the domineering Jin state.

He gave the Maldives as a gift to Jin to eliminate the hatred between Jin and other countries.

He did his duty as a brother.

But he still blames himself all the time, feeling that his brother has not done a good job. Every year he will give advice to the central government, protect the five kings of India, exonerate the Jin State, and resolve conflicts among other countries.

Even if the King of Jin is very domineering, he still has to call the King of Six from the bottom of his heart to the King of Su.

Zhu Jianchao really has no ability.

But he has the demeanor of an elder, and he can effectively handle conflicts between vassal states. Every time he suffers, he subsidizes his younger brothers.

For example, Gu Guo suffered a big loss, and Zhu Jianchao sent five hundred catties of gold to compensate Gu Guo.

The King of Valley was addicted to having fun, but he kept sending envoys to supervise the King of Valley and teach him to be good.

For example, King Xu loves to engage in infrastructure construction, so he will collect various architectural drawings and send them to King Xu.

King Ning and King Xu had conflicts, and every time he would mediate the conflict and restore the old friendship between the kings.

Don't look at the fact that Zuoguo has the lowest sense of existence.

But King Sou was the most beloved brother among the five kings of India, and his words were sometimes more effective than those of the prince.

The country is very weak, with only Sri Lanka as its territory and 3000 million citizens.

The military, political and economic strength is not strong.

It's not that the country of Suo didn't have it, but that King Suo gave it to the kings. King Suo's money was empty, and all his assets were given to his brothers.

The cleanup in Sri Lanka was as thorough as that in Jin.

Because the first time was done by the Ming Dynasty, and the second time was done by the Jin State. There were 30 million people, all Han.

The King of Jin took the initiative to send troops to clean up that time, which shows the brotherly feeling.

The news of King Su's death spread throughout India.

The five kings stood up at the same time, put aside everything, and came to the country of Zuo for the funeral.

This momentum shows the appeal of Prince Su in India.

The memorials sent to the Ming Dynasty Central Committee only mentioned the news of King Su's death, and no one directly told the old emperor.

The five kings all have their biological father in their hearts.

My biological father is too old and may not be able to withstand this blow.

After the funeral, the two brothers Zhu Youque also had to take a treasure ship to Turkey to succeed the vassal.

They wanted to see the meeting of the five kings.

But time is calculated.

If they don't follow the time, the report will be sent to the central government, which will alert the old emperor, so their itinerary cannot be changed.

After brother Zhu Youque kowtowed to the coffin, he left the country.

At the port of Zuoguo.

They saw the happy and free faces of the people of the country. This is a country that has nothing to do with the world. Just like their king, he shoulders a heavy responsibility as an elder brother. Only by being a good brother and maintaining a family can you maintain a good family. nation.

The Zhu Youque brothers took a treasure ship to cross the vast Tang Dynasty ocean and enter their vassal state.

Moments before boarding the ship, they knelt down toward the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

Farewell, my hometown, I will never see you again!

Just like King Su, they can never return to their hometown after leaving the palace. Turkey is their new home.

And in the palace.

Zhu Jianqi was really not in a good mood. His two sons, who were always with him, went out to inherit the clan.

Although the family is still in the palace, they will be leaving for Turkey in a few years, never to be seen again.

Just like his brothers.

As a child, he would worry about his younger brothers threatening his throne.

But when his brothers left and never came back, he could only miss them.

When people get old, they will miss the past.

Zhu Jianqi has just celebrated his fifty-sixth birthday, and he doesn't know if he can live past sixty.

The average life expectancy of people in the Ming Dynasty is increasing. Many senior officials in the court lived to be ninety years old. Even the emperor is eighty-six years old this year.

But life is destined by God, and no one dares to say that they can live to be ninety years old.

Zhu Jianqi felt that he would be content if he could live to be sixty years old.

Everywhere his two sons went, reports would be sent to the central government. The mother was worried about her son traveling thousands of miles away. As a father, he cared about his son.

At this time, all his father's forty sons went out to inherit the vassal.

What does his father think?

He couldn't imagine that if it were him, he would definitely die of illness.

"Counting the days, those two bastards should have left the country to succeed the vassal, alas." Zhu Jianqi sighed.

Logically speaking, his administration should be in the Wenhua Hall.

But a few years ago, the old emperor turned the Wenhua Palace into a place for the princes and grandsons to study.

Many princes were in the Yangxin Hall when they were in power.

Later, Yangxin Hall was too crowded, so he moved to Yuanhui Hall. As the princes all went to inherit the vassal, he moved to Yangxin Hall Bingzheng.

However, later the old emperor didn't care about anything.

It would be inappropriate for him to be in Yangxin Hall, and Yuanhui Hall has been converted into an archives. It would be too troublesome to demolish it.

The old emperor was considerate of his age, so he used Fengchen Palace in the East Palace as his office. He no longer had to go back and forth to the East Palace, and could do everything in the East Palace.

In recent years, the old emperor has become more and more careless. His grandson moved outside the palace, so he opened up the Chenghua Palace in the East Palace as a place for the prince to govern.

However, the prince's concubines all live in the harem, and his adult son and foreign ministers have to go back and forth to the harem, which is really inconvenient.

In the fifty-ninth year of Jingtai, the old emperor allowed the prince's concubines to live in the East and West Sixth Palace.

Concubine Tan moved to Renshou Palace.

The old emperor once wanted to dump the Qianqing Palace, but Zhu Jianqi was frightened to death. He had not yet ascended the throne, so how could he dare to live in the Qianqing Palace?

This is also unethical.

It is also unethical for his concubines to live in the six palaces of the east and west.

But the old emperor thought it was okay. The Sixth Palace had been idle for many years. If the Crown Prince and his concubines were not allowed to live in the Sixth Palace, they might not be able to live there until they died.

This turned out to be that the prince's concubines lived in the Sixth Palace.

The prince's office changed from the East Palace to the Qianqing Palace.

The Crown Princess also moved into Chengqian Palace. After all, this was the place where Empress Tang lived, which was enough to highlight her identity.

After the old emperor failed to abdicate, he simply let the prince live in Qianqing Palace, and the princess also moved from Chengqian Palace to Kunning Palace.

Except for the title remaining unchanged, the prince is actually the emperor.

He has everything an emperor has.

He can even use the emperor's twelve seals at will.

No, the old emperor had thirteen seals, and the other seal was placed outside for sealing calligraphy and paintings.

Jiaotai Hall is where the emperor placed his seal.

When Zhu Jianqi was handling government affairs in the Qianqing Palace, an eunuch hurriedly sent a memorial.

Normally, memorials are carried in a sedan chair, but rarely they are delivered one by one.

Now the call is connected again.

Just make a phone call for minor matters. There are seventeen eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace who answer the phone. There are eight cabinet departments and six temples, the Inspection Department, and the Inspection Department. There are seventeen departments in total, and seventeen eunuchs are responsible for answering the phone.

It must be a big deal to send a memorial like this alone.

Zhu Jianqi opened it and stood up suddenly: "Sixth brother?"

"Prince, the cabinet has received several mourning memorials. They cannot be false. No one dares to make fun of Prince Su's life." The eunuch who delivered the memorial knelt on the ground and said.

"Sixth brother, why is it so sudden?"

Zhu Jianqi slowly sat on the chair, feeling very uncomfortable inside.

There is a very deep feeling between them brothers.

Except for the fourth child, he is good to the other brothers and has feelings for them.

"It's not sudden. Prince Su has been lingering on his sick bed for several years."

"You can't go then!"

What frightened Zhu Jianqi the most was that Prince Su died even though he was younger than him. Could he survive the age of sixty? Can he survive his father?
"Prince, the cabinet is waiting for a reply. Do you want to tell the emperor?" the eunuch urged.

After a long time, Zhu Jianqi finally let out a breath: "I can't tell you. A white-haired person giving a black-haired person away is the cruelest thing in the world."

"That matter..."

"Without your majesty, let the cabinet draw up the edict, seal it, and canonize the crown prince Zhu Youji as the king. Then let the cabinet draw up the posthumous title. The sixth brother is the most generous. Let's draw up a posthumous title. As for the temple name..."

After all, as the founding emperor of the state of Zuo, it would be an insult to propose a posthumous title.

But we cannot use the words Wen and Xiao that have been used by our ancestors.

After all, King Juan is Zhu Qiyu's son. If he uses Wen, will Emperor Taizong jump out of the coffin and kill this unfilial son and grandson?
If there really is an underground, Jiajing will definitely be killed by Taizong.

Although he was the founding king, the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty is universally used throughout the world. Even if a vassal king ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he is not allowed to use a second reign title.

The reign name is unique in the world, and the reign name of the Ming Emperor is uniformly used to mark the year. This is the rule set by Emperor Jingtai.

"What temple name is appropriate?"

Normally, vassal kings do not have temple names, only the emperor has temple names.

But after all, he is the emperor of a country and should have a temple title.

This was decided by the old emperor before.

But you can't use the words Taizu, Gaozu, or Taizong, let alone the words Ren and Xuan. These are all used by the ancestors, and you can't even use the temple names prepared for the old emperor.

There are seven temples for the emperor and five temples for the princes.

This is the ancestral system prescribed by Taizu.

Among the five princes in the temple, the first generation was Emperor Taizu, followed by Emperor Taizong, Emperor Renzong, Emperor Xuanzong and Emperor Jingtai.

In other words, after the death of Emperor Jingtai, all the princes in the world will enter their temples.

The first generation of princes is about to open the second palace.

It stands to reason that if you want to build a second temple, you need to find an ancestor to be the ancestor. For example, if you change Emperor Taizong to Chengzu, you can build a separate temple to worship.

King Su is not qualified to single out a temple.

You can only choose one ancestor to enter the temple, and Taizong is the most suitable. He is capable and far away from the contemporary princes and kings.

If he dared to pick Zhu Qiyu out, Zhu Qiyu would dare to order the destruction of his country.

He, Zhu Qiyu, is not a traitor!
For example, in Zhu Jianshen's vassal temple, there was a secret addition, his biological father Zhu Qizhen.

After Zhu Youtang succeeded to the throne, he invited Zhu Qizhen out again and did not offer sacrifices in the princes' temples.

Because there is no place to put it.

His father was not qualified to single out a temple, so he had to find someone who was qualified. No matter how he looked at it, he was Emperor Taizong.

Zhu Youtang did not recognize the existence of Zhu Qizhen. He was Zhu Qiyu's grandson, because Zhu Jianshen was adopted by Zhu Qiyu. Legally speaking, Zhu Jianshen was Zhu Qiyu's son.

The most important thing is that he was raised by Zhu Qiyu and has no impression of Zhu Qizhen. In his heart, Zhu Qiyu is his biological grandfather.

The key is that Zhu Qiyu never treated him differently, and no one in the same generation regarded him as an alien.

Therefore, he directly invited Zhu Qizhen out of the princes' temple.

In order to allow his father to officially enter the princes' temple, he invited Taizong out, secretly granted the title of Chengzu, and left the temple alone.

The temples of the princes of the Chu State became Taizu, Renzong, Xuanzong, Emperor Jingtai, and Zhu Jianshen. In the future, he would enter the second temple, Chengzu Temple.

Only the princes' temples in Chongguo are different from those in other countries.

His princely temple.

They are Taizu, Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong, and Zhu Qizhen.

There is no tablet of Emperor Jingtai.

Because his legal system comes from Zhu Qizhen, not Zhu Qiyu. Even if this feudal kingdom was given by Zhu Qiyu, the legal system is the legal system.

King Chong did nothing wrong on this point.

Like the princes and kings in the clan, there is no Zhu Qiyu in the princes' temples.

Only the princes' temples of Zhu Qiyu's sons have Zhu Qiyu.

Therefore, with the Chu State's Zhuyu in front, many vassal kings would probably invite Emperor Taizong to come out and become the ancestor and worship him alone.

While the old emperor was still listening to the play, he didn't know that the court had already discussed the name of the temple to King Su.

The temple name should have been given by the officials of the state of Suo.

But the central civil servants grabbed this power and refused to let it go.

Of course, people are also carried in sedan chairs, and they cannot be erroneous, otherwise they will cause displeasure to the princely states, but they must also be carefully judged based on political performance.

But you can't give it to people casually, you have to say something meaningful.

The government and the public have put forward three concepts: Zhezong, which is derived from Zhizong, Zhezhe Civilization, Jingde Bingzhe, and Zhezong in the World.

Ruizong is taken from the wise sage and the wise sage.

Zhenzong is derived from Wei Zhi, which is also based on the Tao, and Wei De, which is why it is called a sect.

All are good posthumous titles.

King Zuo loves his brothers and governs the country with great care and diligence.

It’s just that the country has no good political achievements and no particularly progressive achievements to brag about, so we can only start with our own wise and friendly brothers.

Zhu Jianqi felt that Zhe Zong was the most suitable for King Su.

The classics are moral and philosophical.

Zhu Jianqi only participated in the discussion, and the decision-making power was still in the hands of the civil officials. In the end, he listened to the prince's opinion and took the temple name Zhezong.

The posthumous title is very long, and the main character is virtue. Being diligent and caring for the people is called virtue, being wise and becoming new is called virtue, respecting the virtuous and being close to relatives is called virtue, and being benevolent and transforming is called virtue.

King Zhude, Zhezong.

Zhu Jianqi immediately sent someone to canonize Zhu Youzhen as the second generation of King Su in accordance with the great etiquette, and sent a congratulatory gift from the central government.

After finishing his work, he secretly asked the Supervisor of Ceremonies to make sure that no one was ventilating the old emperor, and then he felt relieved.

Then go to the Yangxin Hall to meet him.

The old emperor was in a good mood and seemed to really not know about this matter.

"The prince is here?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "I dreamed about Lao Liu. He knelt under my knees and cried for a long time, saying that he didn't fulfill his filial piety to me. When I woke up, I felt uncomfortable."

"Send someone to the country of En to see if Lao Liu, who has been lingering on the sickbed for the past few years, can no longer endure it and has come to cry to me in his sleep?"

"He has a temperament that he won't say anything out loud. He hides everything in his heart. He is a dull gourd."

"In these years, he has upheld justice among the kings of India. Although no one has informed the central government, I know everything about him."

"He can play the role of an older brother well, and his younger brothers are willing to listen to him. This is what a feudal king should do."

After hearing these words, Zhu Jianqi's heart skipped a beat: "I'll send you to ask for more doctors from Tai Hospital right now."

"Well, the medical system in Enguo is not very good. Give Lao Liu a medical team to cure him. How old is he this year? I was still able to hunt tigers when I was in my fifties. His health is really bad. .”

Zhu Qiyu was bragging again.

When people think back to when they were young, they will naturally put on filters, and some bad things become good, and they say it with pride.

"My son, I'll do it now." Zhu Jianqi responded.

"You want to hide something from me?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as bright as fire.

Zhu Jianqi trembled in fright: "Yes, there is something I'm hiding from you."

"Say." Zhu Qiyu looked clear.

"My son wants Qi'er to move back to the palace. He is too wild outside the palace. I heard he went with some band. How can he sing when he is a great grandson?"

Zhu Jianqi changed the subject: "It's fine if it's an opera, but what kind of pop song is it? What is that!"

"No matter what he does, as long as it doesn't delay the business, let him go."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Don't let him go back to the palace. His grandson will come to bother me when she is not in the palace. When she returns to the palace, she will move into the Yangxin Hall to serve her. I still want to live for a few more years."

Zhu Jianqi couldn't help but laugh. His wife was troubled, and he was troubled too.

"Xie Qian gave birth to such a daughter. I really missed it and gave her a headache." Zhu Qiyu was speechless.

"Dad, next time you send Erchen to deal with her."

Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid she will lift the roof of my Yangxin Palace. Which woman do you think I'm afraid of in this life?"

"Your mother, the imperial concubine, and the more than thirty concubines in my palace, I am not afraid of."

"Your wives are like a mouse seeing a cat when they see me."

"This little girl, seeing how annoyed I am, claims to be serving me, but in fact she is torturing me."

"Xie Qian is a gentleman, but he taught such a ridiculous thing."

"I'm really afraid of her."

Just as Zhu Jianqi was about to speak, a delicate voice came from outside the door: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is here to serve you."

"Get out!" Zhu Qiyu yelled, full of anger.

But Xie Xueyi came in with a smile on her face and knelt on the ground to say hello. Before the old emperor could agree, she stood up and came over cheerfully: "Grandpa Huang, you are so angry that it hurts you."

Zhu Jianqi coughed lightly.

Xie Xueyi suddenly shrank her head, just like her grandson, she quickly knelt down to greet the prince, and then knelt down obediently, pretending to be a good girl.

"Why are you scaring her?"

Who would have thought that the old emperor would speak for Xie Xueyi.

Zhu Jianqi was stunned.

Don't you find her annoying? I'm here to help you, why are you scolding me back?

"Go away, go away." Zhu Qiyu told him to get out of here.

Zhu Jianqi finally understands, am I an outsider in my feelings?
The old man said he was annoying her, but he actually enjoyed it.

"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor." Seeing Zhu Jianqi leaving, Xie Xueyi crawled over with a smile and knocked the old emperor's leg.

Zhu Qiyu felt very comfortable and suddenly raised his head: "Where is your hair?"
