Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 400 It’s impossible to satisfy everyone

After half an hour.

Hall of Martial Arts.

After Zhu Gaoxu sat at the royal table, Prince Zhu Zhanyu sat on the armchair on the left side of the royal table.

"Regarding the matter of the two vassals in Liaogu raising their troops to fight, the six ministers, nine ministers and other important civil and military ministers just expressed their opinions. What do you think?"

Zhu Gaoxu first glanced at the military report on the table, and then scanned the thick "Annals of the Domain" next to the military report. Finally, his eyes fell on the face of Prince Zhu Zhanyu and asked thoughtfully.

"Dad, just now my son quickly flipped through the "Chronicles of the Domains" and passed down the inheritance of each vassal line of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong. He found that those who violated laws and disciplines, were notorious and aroused public resentment, such as the first feudal lord of Jin Dynasty The king and the king of Qi were all deposed as commoners by Emperor Taizu."

Zhu Zhanyu hesitated and said: "The ministers were divided into two factions just now. One faction believes that the two feudal lords of Liao and Gu should be demoted to common people and abolish the feudal state according to the story of Emperor Taizu's treatment of the two vassals of Jin and Qi."

"The other faction believes that the crimes of the two Liaogu feudal lords should be punished according to the "Huangming Zongfan Regulations", and the two princes and their families in Liaogu should be demoted to common people and eliminated from the country. However, no matter which faction they are, they insist on punishing the two Liaogu feudal lords."

"My son feels that the fight between the two feudal lords in Liaogu is considered to have a cause and is not nothing. Before the King of Qi was deposed, Emperor Taizu reprimanded him many times."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and then asked: "What you said is certainly true, but now the two feudal lords in Liaogu are making weapons privately and openly violating the laws of the court. Their nature is tantamount to rebellion. If they are not punished according to the law, will other vassals follow suit?"

"Dad, the abolition of the two vassals in Liaogu is just an imperial edict, but how should the people of the two countries be settled?"

Zhu Zhanyu said worriedly.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Your many brothers, King Shang and King Liang have not yet established vassal status. You can seize your two younger brothers, just like the story of King An and King Ying."

The second son of Zhu Yuanzhang No.20, King An, Zhu Ying, was granted vassal status in Mo'an Prefecture, Moxi Plain, in the 17th year of Yongle's reign. He died two years later without any children, and the country was eliminated.

Zhu Gaoxu's tenth son, Zhu Zhanpei, was born in the 15th year of Yongle, and his mother was Zhang Yuerong, the concubine of virtue. He was granted the title of King Jing in the 12th year of Qianxi. In the [-]th year of Qianxi, he was granted the title of vassal of Mo'an Prefecture in the Moxi Plain.

Zhu Yuanzhang's No.20 fourth son, King Ying Zhu Dong, came to the west of Ying Prefecture in the desert west plain in the 17th year of Yongle. He died the next year without any sons, and the country was destroyed.

The 11th son of Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanjian, was born in the 16th year of Yongle. His mother was Huifei Wu Ping'er. In the eighth year of Qianxi, he was granted the title of Prince Heng. In the 12th year of Qianxi, he was granted the title of vassal of Yingzhou in the west desert plain.

Since Zhu Gaoxu had been busy with political affairs since the 17th year of Yongle, he had little interest in the harem. In addition, he had already had twelve sons before this, so he did not so deliberately go to the harem to sow seeds.

Therefore, during the more than ten years from the 18th year of Yongle to the seventh year of Qianxi, he only recruited six new nobles and eight new daughters, and added six sons and seven daughters one after another.

Son No. 12 died young and was not crowned king.

The 13th son, Zhu Zhankan, was born in the 17th year of Yongle, and his mother was Queen Li Yao. He was granted the title of King of Xia in the 12th year of Qianxi, and the southeastern coast of Australia was established in the [-]th year of Qianxi.

The 14th son, Zhu Zhanjia, was born in the 20th year of Yongle, and his mother was Shunfei Sheng Hongyu. He was granted the title of King De in the 12th year of Qianxi reign, and the southeastern coast of Australia was established in the [-]th year of Qianxi reign.

The 15th son, Zhu Zhanwei, was born in the 21st year of Yongle, and his mother was Concubine Su.

The 16th son, Zhu Zhanpu, was born in the 25th year of Yongle, and his mother was Gongfei Liu Tanxiang. He was granted the title of King of Shang in the 16th year of Qianxi, but has not yet been granted a vassal status.

The 17th son, Zhu Zhanyang, was born in the second year of Qianxi's reign, and his mother was Gongfei Liu. He was granted the title of King of Liang in the 16th year of Qianxi's reign, but has not yet become a vassal. The 18th son, Zhu Zhankui, was born in the fourth year of Qianxi's reign, and his mother was the concubine Su.

The 19th son, Zhu Zhanlong, was born in the fifth year of Qianxi's reign, and his mother was the concubine Su.

The 20th son, Zhu Zhansi, was born in the seventh year of Qianxi's reign, and his mother was Consort Liu.

From the seventh year of Qianxi's reign, the New Deal was implemented more smoothly, and Zhu Gaoxu had more interest and energy to sow seeds in the harem.

Until now, in the 18th year of Qianxi's reign, during the entire 11 years, he had admitted three new concubines, six concubines, nine nobles, and twelve beauties, and the first concubine, eighth concubine, nine concubines, 27 nobles, The 36 girls’ establishment is filled to the brim.

As a result, he gradually added 11 sons and 29 daughters in these 23 years.

Although two sons and three daughters among his new children died young, most of them grew up healthily.

Zhu Gaoxu is still so powerful at the age of 50 and [-]. In addition to inheriting the strong genes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, year-round exercise and good health are also important reasons that cannot be ignored.

Historically, Zhu Gaoxu had a total of eleven sons in his life. At the age of 47, he still had the energy and ambition to rebel, and even lifted a copper vat weighing three hundred kilograms, which shows how strong his original physique was.

What's more, Zhu Gaoxu is a time traveler. When he succeeded to the throne, he asked the female medical officers of Tai Hospital to conduct in-depth research on women's fertile period.

In other words, when he went to the harem to do things, he usually came in turn according to the fertile period of each concubine.

This is just like farmers who have mastered the experience of raising seedlings and follow the laws of nature to sow and fertilize, and they will definitely get a bumper harvest.

"Dad, when the tenth and eleventh brothers were about to go to Moxi, some people felt that they were occupying the magpie's nest, and there was a lot of discussion in the government and the public."

Zhu Zhanyu frowned and said: "If the Second Liaogu Domain is abolished this time and the sixteenth and seventeenth brothers are allowed to govern the people of the former Liaogu Second Domain, it will inevitably trigger discussions between the government and the public."

"Yu'er, you have to remember that no matter what you do, you can't satisfy everyone. Destroying the two vassals of Liaogu is equivalent to frightening all the vassals overseas, including your younger brothers."

Zhu Gaoxu said resolutely: "Abolition of the two Liaogu vassals is just the beginning. In the future, if other overseas vassal kings blatantly violate the "Regulations on Duties and Vassals", they should also be punished in accordance with the law. The country should be exterminated, and there must be no mercy. If the court shows weakness, The vassal state will have to push further, and in the end it will be too big to lose, which will shake the status of the imperial court."

"The son is taught."

Zhu Zhanyu stood up and bowed.

So, in the morning of the next day, Zhu Gaoxu issued two imperial edicts.

The general content of the first edict is that in order to compete for territory, King Zhu Guifang of Liao and King Zhu Su of Gu openly violated the prohibition, secretly made weapons, and launched wars. Now the two kings are punished for their crimes in accordance with the "Zongfan Regulations" and their entire families are demoted. For the common people, get rid of the country.

The general content of the second edict is that the two kings of Liaogu were deposed, but the people of the two vassal states of Liaogu were innocent, so the king of Shang Zhu Zhanpu and the king of Liang Zhu Zhanyang were ordered to go to the former Liao Kingdom and Gu Kingdom respectively to declare vassal status. .

Instead of using Liao and Gu as the king's title, a new Ming Dynasty vassal kingdom was established with the new king's title.

Coupled with Zhu Bai's restoration of the original title of King of Xiang, the Ming Dynasty has formed an unspoken rule regarding the title of prince, that is, as long as the first prince does not die early, after he is deposed, his title will also be abolished. , never to be used again.
