On August 17th, [-]th year of Wucheng in Huaxia, the Palace of Fenghuang Mountain in Wuchang was unexpectedly lively. Several older princes were recruited back from the army and the local area one by one. These brothers who had not seen each other for a long time gathered together and greeted Yu, a feeling of alienation soon filled everyone's hearts.

In order to break this alienation, the emperor's third son, Zheng Anzhen, first talked about the hottest topic recently: "I heard that after those Jian slaves captured in Beihai were escorted to the construction site of the Shangjing Palace, the slave workers who knew the news all faced north and cried loudly. The sorrow of its weeping is earth-shattering. It is a pity that the ancestors did not see this scene."

As for the fact that there were only a few miscellaneous things left in the Qing court, regardless of the turmoil among the people, it was really a happy event for the Zheng family. It is impossible to shake the rule of Huaxia, and it is impossible to even harass the northern border of Huaxia, and it is impossible to threaten the wealth and glory of Zheng's children.

Looking at Zheng An's beaming eyebrows, Zheng Andi, who had just finished his filial piety, was silent, but Zheng Anfeng, the fourth son of the emperor, asked a little uneasy: "It's good news that Jianlu finally fell, but elder brother, second elder brother, do you know?" The emperor suddenly called us back from various places, what happened? Could it be that he is going to announce the canonization of the prince?"

When it came to the canonization of the crown prince, even the chattering Zheng Anyang fell silent, only the rather embarrassed Zheng Anyang stopped and said: "Fourth brother, regarding the crown prince, my father has already made a decision, so there is no need to mention it again. As for you and me I really don't know what the reason for calling you back is, Second Brother, I'd better stay calm and wait for the Royal Father to arrive."

Zheng Anfeng's eyes turned to Zheng Andi who was at the side: "Brother, don't you know what it is for?"

Zheng Andi responded indifferently: "I really don't know, and I'll wait for my father to announce it."

The fifth prince, Zheng Anfu, frowned. He didn't expect too much to be the crown prince, so he only felt uncomfortable being caught between Zheng Andi and Zheng Anyang, so he stomped his feet a little uneasy: "Father and the bosses What is it that people are discussing for such a long time? How long will it take for this to happen?"

"Fifth brother, be patient." Zheng Anmiao, the seventh son of the emperor, who was the same mother and younger brother, couldn't stand it anymore, so he tried to persuade him. "The servants are all watching, don't spread the word to the emperor's ears and be accused of frivolity." [

While talking, several servants led a group of people in. The princes saw that they all knew each other. The leader was Zheng Anfu, the cousin who was going to inherit Zheng Keshuang's hereditary Duke of Liang, and the one behind was the Zheng clan. A group of relatives of the same generation and several younger but older ones.

"I have seen your Highnesses." Seeing the princes standing in the palace, Zheng Anfu did not dare to neglect, and immediately led a group of Zheng's children to salute. Zheng Andi and others did not dare to salute, and responded one after another. After seeing the ceremony, Zheng Anfu asked. "Several His Highnesses are also there, I don't know why the Holy Majesty has invited our clan to enter the pilgrimage this time."

Zheng Anyang smiled wryly and said: "Just now I was discussing with the brothers, but now seeing Liang Guogong and the clansmen coming, I am even more at a loss. But since it has come, it will be safe, you should wait patiently, maybe the father is very happy. It will be here soon.”

When Zheng Anyang said this, a group of Zheng clan relatives looked at each other, even if they had doubts in their hearts, they had no choice but to hide them in their hearts. Let everyone pretend to be confused together.

Not long after the disciples of the clan entered the palace, Zheng Kezang, who had arrived late, appeared with a huge screen.

"Are you guessing why I called you here?" For the younger generation, Zheng Kezang didn't need to go around in circles. "Don't think about it, I tell you clearly, not to witness anything."

Zheng Kezang's words directly denied the appointment of the crown prince, but thinking about it, the appointment of the crown prince is such an important matter. It must be announced to the whole country and arranged in advance.However, when one question was solved, a new question arose.What exactly did Zheng Kezang call everyone for?What's on that big screen?

I heard Zheng Kezang ask: "Do you all know what an inner domain is?"

The disciples of the Zheng family present were all shocked, they might not be clear about other things, but the inner clan, who was named as Zheng Qin, the son of Zheng Bin, the lord of the Mabo Kingdom, is now considered a member of the Zheng family.

Zheng Kezang, who saw clearly the expressions of the people in the hall, further explained: "During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was a theory of dividing Mao and Lietu. The Nei Fan in this dynasty is similar to it. They are all princes with one party's power, but the power of the Nei Fan is even greater. Larger, with a wider area, but the court also has some constraints, not as completely independent as the ancient princes."

Listening to Zheng Kezang's explanation, a question mark suddenly appeared in the minds of these princes and clans. Is it possible that Zheng Kezang is preparing to seal the clan vassal?According to China's current system, the central government's shackles on the suzerains and inner vassals are actually not heavy, except that they must enforce the laws of China, accept the daily supervision of the Dadu Protectorate and the Protectorate, and pay tribute every three years, Except for the tribute requirement every five years, nothing else matters. The feudal lord is actually the emperor of the land in the future, which is far from comparable to a prudent local knight. In the initial stage, one dynasty can be relaxed to one tribute every five years and one dynasty every ten years, and some remote areas can even allow one tribute every ten years or one dynasty every 20 years, so in terms of finances, there is not much pressure.However, the feudal lands must be in extremely remote areas, which are far from the comfort and prosperity of the native land, and there are even rampant indigenous peoples. Therefore, the development of fiefdoms can be described as difficult roads, and the hard work during the period is self-evident.And for an ambitious prince, being conferred the title of vassal also means losing the qualification to inherit the Chinese emperor, which is even more unacceptable.

Just as the princes and clan members in the hall were thinking about each other, Zheng Kezang signaled his servants to remove the cloth covering the screen, and a map was displayed.This is a new "Global Atlas", which is different from the old version. Under the East Indies, a huge island is clearly drawn.Of course, this is not entirely attributable to the Xia Jun Naval Exploration Team. Zheng Kezang's past life memories are the key to the map.

"Look, this is the latest discovery of the Navy," Zheng Kezang walked to the map and pointed. "I call it Abbot Dadao, and its island is about one and a half passes away." These words caused commotion among Zheng's disciples, but Zheng Kezang was right in front of him, and no one dared to lose his composure. "I don't believe it. In the past, Yelang was arrogant. I don't think there are still people in my Zheng family watching the sky from a well."

The reprimand of this sentence is very serious. Zheng Andi and Zheng Anyang had to bring a group of Zheng's clan members to kneel down and plead guilty to Zheng Kezang: "(son) ministers dare not wait, please (father emperor) His Majesty taught."

"I don't want to blame you. No matter what, you will be the backbone of my Zheng family in the future. You need to know that the world is so big and all countries are competing for supremacy. You can't just get lucky if the country is strong. It is good to be in politics with the mentality of walking on thin ice." After the lesson. , Zheng Kezang waved his hand. "Everyone, get up." Only then did the disciples of the Zheng family dare to get up from the ground, and then Zheng Kezang continued. "The abbot's size is beyond imagination. There are plains and deserts, swamps and mountains, wastelands, valleys, salt lakes, and grasslands on his island. It can be said that most of the terrain that China can find can be found, and there are gold and iron. Minerals, coal and other minerals can be described as treasures left behind in the world.” Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang swept away many juniors present. "I intend to grant you this place as a hundred-year barrier for the center, what do you intend to do." Seeing that some people in the crowd wanted to speak, Zheng Kezang stopped him. "Don't be in a hurry to tell me right now. You can think about it when you go back. If you don't go, I won't force you. The original treatment is inconvenient. If you want to go in the future, you can also ask me for it. But then I'm afraid of the bad things." It has been taken over." [

Zheng Kezang talked about this matter, and naturally someone needs to come out to help, so Zheng Anxuan, the younger brother of Zheng Anfu, the son of Liang Guogong, came out and knelt down to Zheng Kezang: "Report to Uncle Emperor, my nephew has already made up his mind, Willing to go to the abbot."

Zheng Anxuan is a concubine. According to China's "Jue Law", he can only be reduced to the third class to become a county lord.

Some people will say that the Marquis of the county is not bad, anyway, there are thousands of lands that are hereditary and tax-free, so why go to the barren land?

The reason is also simple. Although Zheng Anxuan also has a starting point that ordinary people dream of, he is a weakling in Liang Guogong's lineage. He was bullied by Zheng Anfu since he was a child, and he didn't want to be suppressed by Zheng Anfu for the rest of his life. Therefore, Zheng Kezang sent someone in advance. Take care, after weighing the pros and cons, he is naturally willing to seize this rare opportunity.

With Zheng Anxuan taking the lead, many of the concubine sons of various prefectures who were also persuaded by Zheng Kezang in advance also expressed their stance, and even some who did not know were willing to give up their current titles and lands and go to the abbot to run a business. Fan.

Although he understood what was going on, Zheng Kezang nodded approvingly at them, but poured cold water on his mouth: "Of course you want to go, but I can tell you, don't expect the court to give you much help, everything you need Prepare by yourself, what I can do for you is to transfer criminals from all over the country to the abbot and arrange for you to have some loans from the two banks in the four seas and Tonghai, and then on the ships that transport people and goods, I can arrange for the navy to provide necessary s help."

Having said that, those impulsive and ignorant people hesitated again. Regarding this, Zheng Kezang, who had already made a judgment, said generously: "I have said it all, so you don't have to rush to answer, go back and think it over before you come again." report back."

Zheng Kezang thought for a while, and gave a time limit: "I will give you three months to consider whether you want to go or not, and then let me know. Well, Baoguan, Shengguan, you guys stay, and the rest Let's go away."

All the clan members of the Zheng clan hurriedly bowed and retreated, and soon, only a dozen or so princes remained in the hall to listen to the training.
