If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 318
With Zhu Zhanjun's return, various government affairs began to operate in an orderly manner.

Although thanks to the hard work of various officials in Prince Zheng's palace, Zheng Fan did not have any government affairs that the prince personally handled, but Zhu Zhanchun's presence and Zhu Zhanchun's absence were two completely different situations.

It's not that these subordinate officials need a vassal king to supervise their work, but according to the court system, the subordinate officials of the vassal prince's palace serve around the vassal king.

To put it simply, the vassal king is like the emperor in the court, and the subordinate officials in the vassal palace are a smaller set of civil and military officials.

Everything that a court should have is also available in the feudal prince's palace, but the level is not that high and the management is not that much.

From this system, we can also see that Zhu Yuanzhang was really good to his sons. Just like an old farmer dividing his family property, he left the largest share to his favorite eldest son. Although the remaining sons were a little less, But I didn't treat him badly, I gave him everything he deserved.

Even to a few sons whom I liked, I gave them things that I shouldn’t have given.

This can be seen from Zhu Di's revolt in Jingnan and the subsequent rebellion of King Ning. Even if the vassal king lost real power, he could still gain momentum by relying on the subordinate officials in the vassal prince's palace.

Especially the rebellion of King Ning Zhu Chenhao. If he hadn't been pushed to the ground by a saint like Wang Yangming, even if General Zhu Shou was really good at fighting, he wouldn't have been shot to death in 43 days.

After all, his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang had proven that the talents of one county were enough to conquer the world, and the talents of the feudal prince's palace were sufficient.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, there is no problem at all for the vassal king to let go of his hands and let subordinate officials govern the place.

For example, Zhu Zhancheng's good third uncle now spends his days feasting, having fun, and cultivating his children, and his life is very happy.

In addition to the fact that the fiefdom is not as good as the capital, Prince Zhao, who is guarding the gold and silver mountains and digging for them, now says that building a house with gold is a bit exaggerated, but there is no problem at all with building a house with silver.

Even if he wanted to, he could wrap the entire palace in gold and affix a layer of gold foil to the entire palace.

It's just that letting subordinate officials govern the place also depends on what kind of vassal king he is.

When Zhu Di was still king of Yan, even if Zhu Di didn't care about anything, the subordinate officials in the Yan palace would still report all matters to Zhu Di and let him make decisions instead of making decisions privately.

It is one thing for the vassal king to delegate authority to subordinate officials regardless of matters, but it is another thing for subordinate officials to feel that the vassal king is making decisions without permission.

Relying on his literary and martial arts skills, Zhu Zhanjuan is now the most powerful vassal king in the Ming Dynasty. He is praised by both the government and the public. This power is undoubtedly very profound.

Correspondingly, the subordinate officials of the palace naturally did not dare to act beyond their authority in front of him. Even if Zhu Zhanchun delegated power to them to handle the matter, they would report the results of the matter and wait for Zhu Zhanchun to make new decisions. Decide.

Rather than saying that things are done after they are done, you should make private decisions on any follow-up matters.

Zhu Zhanjuan was naturally not responsible for this. Anyway, he could just glance at these matters and take care of them if he wanted to. If he didn't want to, he could just leave it to the subordinate officials to handle by themselves.

But this does not mean that Zhu Zhanqi has to enjoy his leisure time. During this time, he and Meng Qinglin planned the Aso Mountain military camp, arranged formations, set up barracks, etc...

It is impossible to do these things by others, even setting up the formations has to be done by Zhu Zhanyu and Meng Qinglin themselves.After all, they were the only two people who knew the formation and had enough cultivation to set up the formation.

As for Ah Qing's cultivation level, she was good enough, but she didn't know anything about battles. Even if Zhu Zhanquan taught her some, she only learned a little bit, which was of little help to the two of them.

Ah Qing is still staying in Zheng Fan for the time being. She, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, is still a mere commander and needs to wait for Zhu Zhankun to help her train the navy.

As for the issue that she, as the canonized Dragon King, should have subordinate officials attached to her, there was no news from the court.

But this is quite normal. After all, there is a long distance between the mainland of Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country. If you want to send a message, even a fast ship will take ten days and a half, and a round trip will take more than a month.

If you add in the time it takes for the court to select suitable officials, and then gather these officials and load them on the ship, it can take two months to complete the entire process and send the people to Fugang, which means that the Ming court's administrative efficiency is high.

According to Zhu Zhanjun's estimation, it may take three to four months before the imperial court will fully equip the subordinate officers assigned to the Dragon King of the South China Sea and let them take a boat to Kyushu Island.

If you include what Zhu Di mentioned to Zhu Zhankun about retraining the Jin Yiwei, these people may not be able to come to Kyushu Island in five months.

And things were just as Zhu Zhanjun estimated. From the time he helped Meng Qinglin reshape his body, it took almost four months before the ship sent from the imperial court carried about [-] Jin Yiwei recruits and The subordinate officers assigned to the Dragon King of the South China Sea arrived in Fugang.

During this period, Zhu Zhanchun's palace was finally completely completed. After leaving it for almost a month and seeing the weather gradually turning into autumn, he took Zhang and the three princesses and officially moved into the palace.

During this period, Zhu Zhanquan also followed Zhang's teachings and treated every princess equally.

In fact, for him and Meng Qinglin, they actually didn't care about this kind of thing. However, Lan Qier and Li Yue took this matter very seriously. After all, for them, this matter was already the top priority in their lives.

However, this matter is important, but it is indeed important. After all, whether it is for the country or the vassal state itself, having an heir is very important.

It's just that Zhu Zhancheng and Meng Qinglin are both real dragons now, and it is difficult to breed offspring. It is estimated that Zhu Zhanqun's eldest son will be difficult to be born in a short time.

On the contrary, it was Lan Qier and Li Yue. In the past few months, because Zhu Zhanquan had been exposed to both rain and dew, they both became pregnant one after another.

This is also in line with the characteristics of the True Dragon Clan. It is indeed difficult for pure-blooded True Dragons to reproduce, but if the Dragon Clan wants their offspring to combine with other races, it is very easy, and the birth of offspring is basically not much different from other races themselves. If you come in and out, you will just have the blood of a true dragon, and it will continue to manifest with age.

So if there are no accidents, Zhu Zhanquan will be able to welcome his own heir next year.

This also made Mrs. Zhang very happy, and she was busy around the two of them, waiting to have her grandson.

Perhaps the only regret was that it was not Meng Qinglin who was pregnant, which made Mrs. Zhang a little regretful that her eldest grandson was not his legitimate grandson.

However, neither Zhu Zhankun nor Meng Qinglin can solve this problem. After all, if it can be solved, the True Dragon Clan will not have to have such trouble recruiting new members.
