But after hesitating for a long time, he no longer knew how to speak.

Looking at Da Sun's firm eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang had no doubt that Da Sun would definitely go further and further on this path.

The night is getting darker.

Zhu Ying also returned to Kunning Palace, planning to review some memorials and then rest.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I felt slightly lost in thought.

A breeze blew by, and Liu He brought a robe and put it on His Majesty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been lost in thought for a long time, finally came back to his senses.

"Liu He, how do you think we should be an emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but asked casually.

Liu He listened to these words and said quickly: "Your Majesty is the emperor for thousands of years. He has restored the prosperity of the Central Plains. He is loved by the people and surrendered at home and abroad. His talents and strategies are second to none in ancient and modern times. Everyone in the world praises him..."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"You guys, it's really no use asking. You only know how to flatter us."

Liu He listened and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I am scared."

"Okay, let's pardon your innocence. Forget it, asking you is in vain." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said.

Liu He then slowly straightened up.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say any more. Seeing that the night was getting late and he didn't need to approve too many memorials at night, he prepared to walk towards the palace.

I just took two steps when I suddenly stopped.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly responded with a smile: "We suddenly discovered that the level of Da Sun's poems and songs is still pretty good."

I once again savored the poems written by Da Sun carefully and found them to be very charming.

"Liu He, I'll take care of you with pen and ink. Da Sun's calligraphy is really not good, so I'd better write it for Da Sun myself."

Zhu Yuanzhang liked to have his twelfth son Zhu Bai write his own poems.

But Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to write the poems of Da Sun himself.

...

After the morning court session the next day, the entire palace was a little excited.

In the early dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the latest vassal system.

This also means that starting from today, all the vassal territories of the vassal kings will be cancelled, and no more vassal states will be established within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The only canonization of vassal states is overseas.

At the same time, the feudal king was granted the right to form an inner court.

In order to prevent the vassal king from staying in the Ming Dynasty after establishing the inner court, it was stipulated that the vassal king could only stay in the Ming Dynasty for a maximum of three years after submitting documents for overseas feudal states.

After this time, if the feudal king has not left, the feudal king's right to form an inner court will be revoked and his power will be permanently deprived of it, and he will not be able to form it again.

At the same time, the vassal king who gave up the establishment of an inner court could obtain an industry from internal funds, and could also choose to become an official, lead the army, or other things.

As soon as this announcement came out, the eight feudal princes had no objections.

As for the other vassal kings who have not yet become vassals, such as the five princes living in the left and right sects who have already been crowned kings, it is a bit difficult to accept it.

They also hope that when the feudal lords leave the capital, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly.

At this point, there is nothing.

It's just that they don't even have personal guards, so even if they have opinions, they can only hold it in.

A group of teenagers, carrying the title of prince, looked around, and the civil servants and military generals would not pay much attention to them.

On the contrary, almost all civil and military officials applauded the reformed vassal system.

The main reason was that the early vassal kings headed by Zhu Xi had such a bad reputation.

The situation in the vassal territory is called chaos.

Even the local censor was unable to resist.

It's better now. If you want to cause harm, let's go outside the Ming Dynasty.

However, some people were happy and some were sad. For example, Zhu Di felt quite happy in his heart. After the morning court, he took Li Jinglong to drink together.

Li Jinglong didn't care. As a relative of the emperor and your majesty's nephew, it didn't matter whether he went to the Governor's Mansion or not.

Then he and Zhu Di came to the palace of Prince Yan.

"Cousin, congratulations. Your Majesty's restructuring this time must be the most useful to my cousin."

"The overseas feudal country is a real country. It is even granted to form an inner court. With my uncle's ability, I think I will be able to create a prosperous foundation."

Li Jinglong said with a smile.

He was relatively clear about many of Yan King Zhu Di's thoughts, and they were already very obvious when he was in Peking.

In this regard, Li Jinglong also spared no effort to help Zhu Di.

After hearing this, Zhu Di also smiled and replied: "Being able to reach such a situation is a way for us and other vassal kings. Speaking of which, we have to thank His Highness Taisun. This method was proposed by him.

.”

Li Jinglong was a little surprised when he heard this and said: "His Royal Highness Taisun is so courageous."

The idea of ​​enclosing countries overseas is actually very bold.

First of all, it involved the Ming Dynasty's army. After occupying it, it was awarded to the feudal king for guarding.

This also means that a considerable part of the army must stay in the vassal country and be controlled by the vassal king.

With a vassal king with a large army and his own vassal state, this almost directly formed a warlord regime.

Because to a certain extent, the territory conquered by the Ming army should belong to the Ming Dynasty, not the vassal king.

Zhu Di also sighed a little: "Perhaps in his mind, the vassal states entrusted by our vassal kings will hardly pose a danger to the Ming Dynasty. For example, the Great Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the princes and kept the Ming Dynasty overseas far away. In this way, we can also rely on me

Let’s wait for the strength to completely solve the Japanese pirate problem.”

Li Jinglong nodded.

From the current point of view, overseas feudalism is still very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. The only hidden danger is only in future generations.

Perhaps at some point the Ming Dynasty was in danger and was taken over by a feudal king.

But these things happened a long time ago.

The existence of the enfeoffment system has never appeared again since the First Emperor unified the world. Unexpectedly, today, the Ming Dynasty restored it.

This is very likely, just like the Zhou Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty lasted for a very long time.

"Jinglong, I will go out to conquer Japan in the spring of next year, which is when I will take over the vassal state again. Currently in Goryeo, Daoyan already has an army of 200,000 people to cooperate with. My father, according to my estimation, there are at least 400,000 troops here."

"With such momentum, the Japanese state is irresistible, so establishing a feudal vassal is a matter of course."
