Chapter 241: Our eldest grandson is alive and well!(2/2)

Lu was speculating on the current situation and had a strong premonition. She felt that His Highness Changsun would value military power and prestige in the military so much, and most likely wanted to expand the territory.

Under such circumstances, the purpose of training the princes and grandsons like soldiers is obvious.

He just wanted to use these uncles and brothers who were related by blood as generals, and it was even possible that their vassal territory could be directly enshrined outside the Ming Dynasty.

If you want vassal territory, lead your own troops to get it.

This will, to a large extent, reduce the current danger to the feudal king.

'But, wouldn't this create greater hidden dangers for future generations of the Ming Dynasty? A strong vassal king would be like the Zhou Dynasty, weak in the center and strong on all sides.'

'How can he guarantee that his descendants will be equally outstanding? King Yan, in particular, will definitely seize the opportunity to occupy the vassal state. If he establishes another state, he will not listen to the orders of the Ming Dynasty.'

Lu had some doubts in her heart. Logically speaking, it is not difficult to think of such a simple idea with the wisdom displayed by His Highness Changsun.

No one in history has done this, because they are afraid that the vassal king will become bigger, so he will continue to find ways to weaken it.

Now he wants to do the opposite.

'Unless he has a follow-up method to control the kings. This method can only be done after persuading His Majesty.'

Lu thought in her mind.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yunwen's puzzled voice woke Mrs. Lu from her meditation.

"My mother was lost in thought about something just now. What did Yun Wen say to her just now?" Mrs. Lu replied.

Zhu Yunwen said again: "Mom, I want to ask, what should I do during the burial?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu ordered: "There is no need to do anything. You are also the second son now. Just follow closely behind your eldest brother. Everything should be done according to etiquette."

"No need to say more, and no other actions are necessary."

Zhu Yunwen was obviously a little disappointed after hearing his mother's instructions.

At this moment, he was still somewhat unwilling. Before coming, he was thinking more about how he would behave at his father's funeral.

Only then can he attract the attention of Grandpa Huang, or let the eldest brother pay attention to himself.

At least try to get a good vassal land and go out and become a vassal king as soon as possible.

Lu was keenly aware of her son Yunwen's thoughts and said again: "This is the first time your eldest brother has appeared in front of civil servants. All the civil and military officials are here. Any extra thoughts may steal your eldest brother's limelight.

"

"At this time, you have to hide yourself and at least show the feeling of brotherly harmony, especially to your elder brother, as if you are respectful to His Majesty."

"Don't worry about the opinions of those civil servants. The civil servants in the court have little to do with you anymore. It's better to try to win the favor of the generals in the army. At least then, you can lead the troops and it will be much smoother."

"Learn more like your elder brother, and learn from your elder brother's methods and wisdom. If you can learn three points, it will be enough for you to run a good business in the domain."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen felt a little uncomfortable.

He has always looked down upon generals and barbarians.

Now his mother wants him to stay away from civil servants and stay close to military generals.

This is inconsistent with what he has always thought.

But after his mother said so much, he also made one thing very clear to him.

In the face of military power, knowledge can only stand aside.

If you want to completely control the vassal territory, you can only rely on military generals, not civil servants.

"Mom, I know what to do." Zhu Yunwen whispered.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu nodded slightly.

Although I know Yunwen's character, it's time to change.

If it remains like before, I'm afraid it will be more likely to cause trouble in the domain.

Just when the matter came to an end, Zhu Yunwen suddenly looked up at his mother and asked:

"Mother, if I become a vassal, it will be difficult for me to see my mother. Without an edict from my eldest brother, the vassal king is not allowed to return to the capital privately."

"If the eldest brother treats the mother badly, what should the child do?"

Hearing these words, Mrs. Lu felt a little moved. After all, it was her son who was ten months pregnant and knew how to care about her.

"Yunwen doesn't have to worry about being a mother, not to mention that it's too early to talk about these things now."
