Chapter 92 Zhu Yuanzhang divided the princes into enfeoffments and beat them up
  Chapter [-] Zhu Yuanzhang divided the princes into enfeoffments and beat them up

In the Ming Dynasty Palace, Zhu Di was trotting from the palace gate towards the inner room in a hurry.

At this time, although he was not yet twenty years old, his stature was already much higher than that of ordinary people.

As the Prince of Yan who loves the military and war the most, he has been practicing archery, horseback riding and archery every day since he was a child.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also had strict educational requirements in other aspects, and he suffered a lot when he was young.

But now, just looking at him moving like a dragon and a tiger, I have to praise him sincerely. The hardships he suffered as a child were not in vain.

"Fourth, what do you think will happen with this urgent imperial edict from my father?"

It was Zhu Xi who spoke. This man had no intention of giving Zhu Di any face, and even grabbed Zhu Di's clothes while talking.

Seeing Zhu Xi's unceremonious look, Zhu Di was really speechless to the extreme. It was worth slowing down and accompanying Zhu Xi as he walked in slowly and answered.

"Second brother, how did I know? I just entered the palace in a hurry!"

Zhu Xi glanced at Zhu Di and said angrily: "You are used to pleasing your father. Didn't you get some news in advance?"

When Zhu Di heard what Zhu Xi said, his bullish temper also came up, and he replied angrily.

"If I am still able to please my father after being beaten for the past three or two days, then what do you call me, second brother, when you are rewarded by my father from time to time?"

"You don't even know, you ask me?"

Zhu Xi was so speechless by Zhu Di's words that he smacked his lips, raised his leg and kicked Zhu Di on the butt.

"Come on, I don't know if Father is waiting for you!"

Okay, Zhu Di didn't know how to reply at this moment.

Anyway, this second brother said all the good things.

As for being kicked or something, I just dusted it off and pretended it didn't exist.

Anyway, their brothers are used to fighting and fighting since they were young. Except for the eldest brother Zhu Biao, which brother have they not beaten?

Especially when the elder brother is teaching his younger brother a lesson, even a kick is light.

This is how Zhu Xi tormented him, so why didn't he torment his younger brother like this?

It's just that being kicked like this in public today was a bit embarrassing.

Not long after, the two brothers ran into Fengtian Hall in a hurry.

Just when they were still wondering how they could meet in this place, when they entered the palace, they found that all the adult princes were there.

Their father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was sitting on the dragon chair at this time, looking at their brothers with a solemn face with his chin half raised.

Brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Di didn't dare to fart at the moment, so they hurriedly packed their bags.

"My son, Zhu Xi/Zhu Di, has met my father."

"Well, get up, we're fine, get up, and come with you brothers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even raise his head and waved his left hand casually.

But the two brothers, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di, did not dare to say a word and stood next to the third child, Zhu Fan, who had arrived a long time ago. Zhu Fan looked at the second and fourth children who came over, and secretly winked at them.

"Well... I'll call you brothers here today. We plan to talk to you about the vassal status!"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the brothers starting from Zhu Fan suddenly looked solemn.

A few of them had actually been granted the title of king a long time ago.

But in fact, it is nothing more than determining the title and treatment. The fiefdom and other things are just a title, which is just for them to get some salary as pocket money.

But Fan is different.

Once you become a vassal, you will really have to live in a fiefdom. “You are all our good sons, let’s say a few honest words behind closed doors!”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and told the other chamberlains to get out, leaving Song Li alone.

Song Li is no longer an outsider. Anyway, this old guy already knows a lot of secrets.

After the palace doors were closed, facing his sons standing in the empty hall, Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly.

"This Ming Dynasty belongs to our family, but there is only one throne. Biao'er is our eldest son and your eldest brother, so this throne can only be left to him!"

"Don't blame us, we have no other choice. There can only be one person in charge of a family!"

"So, let's divide you all into separate groups."

"You have all grown up, and it's time to guard a territory and protect the Ming Dynasty."

"This is your honor and your responsibility. Don't let us down!"

"Did you hear?"

No matter how noisy and arrogant the princes are outside on weekdays, now they are as honest as quails, bowing and obeying orders in a well-behaved manner.

Do you want to say you heard it?

Of course I heard it!

Can you tell me whether you are happy or not?
  There is still some reluctance to give up!

After all, after leaving, even if Zhu Yuanzhang gave them a lot of military power and his own fiefdom, he was still just a vassal king after all.

But... they have actually figured this out a long time ago.

This is their fate!

The prince can only be, and must be, Zhu Biao!

Except for this eldest brother, if any other brother becomes the prince, there will definitely be other brothers who will jump in and scold him.

Only the eldest brother Zhu Biao, whether it is legal or emotional, there is no doubt that he has truly achieved it.

Therefore, after just a few words of slander, the princes calmed down.

After all, you were already prepared, right?
  Instead of complaining about this, we should listen carefully to where the fiefdom is.

Title sealing is something that cannot be done until the land is obtained.

It’s just a change of account, what does it mean?
  Sure enough, seeing that his sons didn't say much, Zhu Yuanzhang talked about the arrangements for his sons.

Basically, the vassals were established according to the original title. In other words, the fourth son Zhu Di still followed the original track and established the vassal state of Beiping, making him, the King of Yan, truly worthy of his title.

However, after Zhu Yuanzhang finished enfeoffing the princes, he did not ask everyone to go to the enfeoffment immediately. Instead, he asked the princes to go to Fengyang's hometown to stay for a while.

"Fengyang is our hometown. We were born and raised there, herded sheep and farmed there. Our parents, brothers and sisters-in-law also died there!"

"Fengyang is a poor place, but that place is the root of our old Zhu family!"

"We asked you to go there for two reasons!"

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly straightened his back, looked straight at his sons with a pair of tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"First, go to Fengyang for a walk and see the sufferings of the people. Our old Zhu family doesn't want idiots who eat minced meat!"

"Secondly, we will give you brothers a bag of potatoes each, and you have to plant them yourself!"

"Only when you truly see the benefits of this thing will you know how much benefit this fairy food has to our old Zhu family and the Ming Dynasty!"

"Don't let us forget these two points!"
