Chapter 2704: Enfeoffment of the kings!

In the second year of Hongwu, the country was at peace.
The former Wagangzhai, Xu State, etc., have long since vanished into thin air.

The Daxing of the past, the Chang'an of today,

royal palace hall,

The ministers were standing below, their eyes full of joy. After all, the country was settled, so the next step was to reward the meritorious officials.
Looking at the people below, Lu Yan, wearing a black dragon robe, said: "Minister of Rites, Chengfu, announce the decree!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Walking forward, the housekeeper Ah Fu said loudly: "Appoint the left general Xiong Kuohai as the Duke of Wu, the Duke of Tang Li Yuan as the King of Tang, and the Duke of Xu Yu Wenhuaji as the King of Xu"

When Ah Fu was reading the decree, everyone was dumbfounded.

Because they didn’t expect that Lu Yan would really be crowned king!
"Your Majesty, I want to ask, is it really good for our Ming Dynasty to have so many kings of different surnames?"

Looking at Lu Yan, Wei Zheng couldn't help but become serious.

"Minister Wei, don't worry. I didn't say that these kings were enfeoffed within the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Wei Zheng, Lu Yan hurriedly explained,

"Not in my Ming Dynasty? Then where is it?"

Looking at Lu Yan in surprise, Li Shimin was somewhat stunned.

You know, his father Li Yuan became the King of Tang, and he, Li Shimin, was also named the King of Jin, but where was this fiefdom?

"Prince Jin's fiefdom is in South Asia, and Prince Tang's is in Indonesia. Prince Xu, I will suffer a little loss and give you the original Wa Island!"

Just after Lu Yan finished his words, before Li Yuan and Li Shimin could speak, Yuwen Zhiji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the grace of heaven is great, I will definitely protect the Japanese island!"

When Yuwen Zhiji heard that Lu Yan was crowned king, he didn't believe it, but his brother told him that his fiefdom was Wodao.

You know, even if he left the Ming Dynasty, he, Yu Wenzhi, was still the king!
Although the higher-ups still needed to obey the Ming Dynasty's orders, the emperor was far away and the mountains were high and the mountains were high. So couldn't Yu Wenzhi do whatever he wanted?

Li Yuan and Li Shimin were dumbfounded as they looked at Yu Wenzhi with twitching mouth corners.
Because they didn't expect that Yu Wenzhi would accept it so quickly.
But it's true, as long as you can be king and don't have to accept jurisdiction, who cares where you go!
"What about my King Heng? My brother-in-law!"

Looking at Lu Yan in confusion, Li Jiancheng was stunned.
Since all the surrounding countries have been enfeoffed, what should King Heng do? Should he go to the grassland?

"Don't worry, brother. Li Jing has already pacified Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje yesterday. Now Silla and Baekje are conferred upon you. How do you think?"

Looking at Li Jiancheng in front of him, Lu Yan smiled.

“Isn’t this a little small?”

Looking at Lu Yan, even if Li Jiancheng wanted it, he didn't want it to be smaller than his own, Li Shimin's.

You know, South Asia is such a large area, even if you need to conquer it yourself, how long will it take?
In five years at most, Li Shimin would become the strongest among all the kings! By then, as the eldest brother, wouldn't Li Jiancheng be laughed at?

Looking at Li Jiancheng, Lu Yan couldn't help but said: "In this case, then brother-in-law should go to Tianzhu, where the terrain is vast."

"Your Majesty, I also want to go to India!"

Just as Lu Yan finished speaking, Li Yuanji hurriedly bowed.
"In that case, you all go to India together. As for the people and soldiers, you can recruit them on your own!"

Looking at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in front of him, Lu Yan also laughed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Lu Yan's powerful announcement of the fiefdom, the other ministers couldn't help but quarrel.
At this moment, a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Kong family has sent you a letter!"

"the Kongs?"

Hearing this name, all the ministers present fell silent.

Especially Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Wang Bodang, and Shan Xiongxin of Wagangzhai, their faces turned black. When they were in Shandong, the Kong family surrendered first, but when Li Shimin came, they turned around and betrayed Wagangzhai.
Before the world was settled, the Kong family began to compile books. Basically, whoever became emperor, they would come up with a corresponding surrender letter.

Unfortunately, the Kong family didn’t expect that Lu Yan, the “miracle walker”, would suddenly stop playing in the jungle!
"By the way, the kings are going out to educate the people. I think the Kong family is very suitable!"

Looking at everyone with a smile on his face, Lu Yan couldn't help but touch his chin.

"I think it's feasible. After all, how can the people of foreign countries understand the king's rule?"

"Your Majesty, there are also the Five Surnames and Seven Families. Don't let them go! They have been complaining about me lately!"

Just as Lu Yan finished talking about the Kong family, Xiong Kuohai shouted,
"Hey, what are you talking about, black bear?"

When Xiong Kuohai mentioned the Five Surnames and Seven Families, many ministers became frightened.
Because everyone has some connection with the Five Surnames and Seven Families,

If Lu Yan sends this away, I don’t know when he will be able to come back!
"Old Bear, don't stare at this scholar. It's not easy for us in the Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Xiong Kuohai, Lu Yan first pretended to be very uncomfortable.
But looking at Lu Yan, Li Shimin said: "Your Majesty, there is no one here, and we are also very distressed!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please send someone to ask them for some people!"

Seeing Li Shimin walk out, Yuwen Zhiji couldn't help but shout,
"Oh no, pills!"

Looking at Lu Yan, Li Shimin, and Yuwen Zhiji's cooperation, the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Families felt a little scalp-tingling.

Because when Lu Yan first established his kingdom, the Five Surnames and Seven Families did a lot of trouble.
After all, the officials selected by Lu Yan were not from them at all, but were trained by himself.
But unexpectedly, Lu Yan was so vindictive. This time, he not only plotted against the Kong family who had surrendered to the Shixiu clan, but also wanted to send them away together!

"Since you all say so, I allow you to recruit on your own, but remember, you must not use a knife!"

Looking at everyone with a smile on his face, Lu Yan said it very clearly: I don't need to use a knife, you can just tie me up!
When people go overseas, what happens to them is up to you!

Looking at Lu Yan meaningfully, Li Shimin and others said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, my dear ministers, if you are not satisfied with your fiefdom in the future, you can always ask me to change it. After all, although the world is vast, the enterprising spirit of our Ming Dynasty will never end!"

Standing up, Lu Yan rolled up his dragon robe and spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

They bowed their heads and saluted, and the ministers immediately shouted!

"Bang bang bang!"

During the grand dinner, fireworks rose from the darkness not far away.

When it exploded brilliantly, the world began a new round of prosperity.
Holding Xiao Meiniang and Zhu Yingtai by his side, Lu Yan was in the harem, watching the fireworks display with everyone else.

But at this moment, Li Mulan couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, why is it that there are more frontier poems in our dynasty than in all previous dynasties?"

"Isn't that nonsense? In the past, the borders only reached a certain point at most, but now, the territory of our Ming Dynasty is almost reaching the Caspian Sea, and the country next to it is the Eastern Roman Empire!"

Hearing Li Mulan's words, Lu Yan quickly explained,

"How far is this then?"

Looking at Lu Yan in confusion, Guanyin Bi blinked her eyes.

"Three months of riding! Well, at least."

Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile.
The frontier poems of the Song Dynasty were written in the Jiangnan area, but in today’s Ming Dynasty, that IP address is really thousands of miles away!
If Li Bai wants to travel all over the Ming Dynasty in the future, there is probably no other way except to take the clipper ship. After all, going to India is almost as good as Tang Monk's journey to the West!
Although there is no need for a clearance document, it is slow!
"Three months?"

Looking at Lu Yan in shock, the girls couldn't help but exclaim,

At this moment, Lu Yan smiled and said, "It may take a year in the future."
