Lao Zhu's pupils suddenly dilated.

Didn’t you say no?

If they are allowed to inherit the throne, what will happen next?

Then wouldn't the throne still swell until the court could no longer support it?

It's not enough to seal it away from home. Just recall it to the capital?

Lao Zhu is a little confused.

"Tell me quickly, why is this?"

He asked quickly.

"It's very simple, let them do the work and reward those who have merit."

Zhu Yunzhen said: "If the prince's descendants want to inherit the throne, they must make great contributions to the court, and then issue a special reward. Then they can be extra generous and be granted the title of king."

I just finished it in one breath.

Japanese pirates?

But while I was calming down, I still figured out what Lao Zhu meant.

Lao Zhu's eyes were like lightning, and he could see through what I was thinking.

"The uncles are Zhu Yun's elders, but they are also Xiao Ming's ministers."

Sun Erhen advised: "The association of clan princes will cause trouble, and it has little to do with whether we are in the capital or not."

He repeatedly warned that low-level officials in the court could meet with the vassal king at will.

Historically, Feng Sheng, who had achieved many military exploits, was not sentenced to death by Lao Zhu because of his private meeting with the feudal king.

"If it is on a fiefdom, the only way is to give it more military power and let it achieve military exploits."

I am sure that my grandson will never speak so little in the future.

I stared at my grandson with bright eyes.

Japanese pirates... Japanese pirates... Japanese pirates...

"Yin Jian, the separatist leader of the Tang Dynasty's vassal towns, is not far away."

"Is there any royal prince or court minister?"

Lao Zhu really wanted to see Xiao Ming, something like the Xuanwu Sect disaster in the Tang Dynasty happen again.

When I was talking, Lao Zhu kept looking at me.

The smile on Lao Zhu's face showed the seriousness after his recovery.

"If there is no prince who listens to the teachings, there will be no laws in Xiao Ming and no rules and regulations in the court. Although the prince is a member of the royal family, he is also a minister, and the emperor can control it himself."

"We sons, we are very vague as to whether we have a fuel-efficient lamp."

"Ten thousand times further, even if it is the Xuanwu Sect tragedy, it will still be worse than leading troops to rebel in the area. The number of people who will die in this way will be ten thousand times less than in a palace coup!"

"Lanyu is known among the generals for being both unruly and docile. Before Shan Yong could be conferred the title of grandson, he tamed me into a docile one."

"We just remind him first so that he is not mentally prepared."

In the DPRK, it is difficult to compete with the central government by relying on local forces.

"Yes, we have always felt that if we all returned to the capital, there would be a lot of trouble."

"Seven important positions in the imperial court can also be held by relatives of the Zhu family. They are in the hands of outsiders and will not help stabilize the country."

"At this time, there will be less trouble."

"Instead of waiting for him to ascend the throne and recall us, let us do it."

In fact, he was "warning" me, could he "kill" my uncles?

Instead of letting Lao Zhu think that I am stupid, I would like to be more honest.

But as I interacted with Lao Zhu less and less, I gradually discovered that all my big thoughts were hidden from Lao Zhu.

"The country will not be unable to bear the burden of the clan and fall into crisis."

Therefore, the sons were all granted the title of vassal kings, and they were separated from each other.

"It has something to do with whether the prince is in the capital or not."

They are all his own sons, and the palms and backs of his hands are all flesh.

Lao Zhu said with a smile: "No matter what, we are all his uncles, our sons, and descendants of the Zhu family. Even if there is no fault, it is still easy to add crimes."

"What you said is totally unreasonable. We are just worried that if we all return to the capital, we will inevitably collude with the subordinates and create a rebellion."

"But there's one thing."

Before I finished speaking, Lao Zhu sighed heavily.

"Li Yuan mastered the art of checks and balances, and his victory in the sky was entirely due to Li Shimin's contribution. He also wanted to make him the crown prince, but it ended up being a tragedy."

Lao Zhu raised his head and thought.

Who are the descendants of the Zhu family in the Xiao family?

"A family will not be separated from each other and find it difficult to reunite all the year round. Family ties will be too distant."

"So my grandson thought that it would be better to call all the feudal princes back to the capital and no longer entrust them with land. Instead, they would be given errands based on their talents."

"So Shan Yongzhen's rebellion seemed to be a fight between princes, but in fact it was a fight between powerful ministers."

"Grandpa Huang."

"Only if you are unwilling to fall and strive for the top can you keep your position as prince."

"Please Grandpa Huang, please go back to Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun will definitely be able to control us."

Suddenly, my grandson came back to his senses. Lao Zhu's words just now seemed to be "reminding" me that in order to stabilize the country before I succeed to the throne in the future, it is necessary to recall the vassal king again and again, and I must think carefully about it.

"What do you think, Grandpa Huang?"

But Sun Erhen's last words hadn't been spoken yet, so he changed his words at this moment, so he could only hold on to the end.

After listening to what I said, Lao Zhu suddenly asked: "Zhen'er, the current vassal kings of Xiao Ming are all his uncles and elders. Among us, there are some who are unruly and some who are tame. We all return to Beijing. He

It’s really manageable.”

The seventh brother Shan Yongwen, the eighth brother Sun Erxi, and the aunt Princess Anqing.

From Lao Zhu's words, I haven't heard that Lao Zhu was still not willing to summon the feudal king back to the capital.

"If future generations have great achievements, they can still be crowned kings. Otherwise, they will still be demoted."

He can be the emperor, why can you?

"It doesn't matter, his idea is also very unreasonable."

Did you ever think that Lao Zhu would mention the matter of his grandson Erwen at this time? Could it be that he meant nothing?

When my sons are young, they all have the same thoughts.

Only for this reason, Lao Zhu was very taboo about his ministers meeting the vassal king in private.

"As long as you employ people and pay attention to checks and balances, it may lead to a loss of power."

"Grandpa Huang." Thoughts were racing in Sun Erhen's mind, and he said loudly: "The vassal king is here, and if he behaves peacefully, he may start an army, causing years of war disasters, and devastation of life, but the country is stable."

"For the sake of the people in heaven, the vassal king should also be recalled to the capital."

"If it's within the court, on the one hand, we spend less time together and have deeper feelings. On the other hand, if we don't have the right intention, we will only fight within the court, and Xiao Shao can resolve it in a tangible way."

In my mind, thunder suddenly exploded and lightning lit up.

When I said that, I suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the investigation of the Japanese pirate case going?"

It was only because of my face that I didn’t reject it.

Why didn’t Lao Zhu have such an idea?

"We haven't decided yet on recalling the vassal king, so let's issue an edict!"

"Besides, his attitude is so determined. Even if we are right now, he will still call his uncles back when he inherits the throne in the future."

Lao Zhu was really worried when he called all the vassal princes back to the capital.

Doesn’t it mean that Lao Zhu doesn’t “believe” in me?

"Can an emperor still use people to govern a country?"

"When the emperor's relatives are in court, he cannot live without someone he trusts."

"His seventh brother, we always think that I am a well-behaved and polite person, and I am still so honest."

"What you do depends on how the emperor checks and balances."

boom!

The words fell.

"But if this happens, the vassal king will definitely have a large number of troops, creating a situation where it will be difficult to defeat the enemy."

"In this way, the princes of the clan cannot blame the imperial court for being unkind."

That is the smallest original intention of me to enfeoff the kings.

"The Eight Rules also give us the opportunity to seek rewards for our meritorious service, so that the royal family members can just sit back and enjoy their success, leading to corruption and degradation."

I would only point to that point and try my best to induce Lao Zhu to think in that direction.

"If you want them to make meritorious deeds, you must give them a chance."

"The former King of Qin, Li Shimin, was of unparalleled merit. Even if I was a prince or not, with my military exploits and my prestige in the military, it would be difficult for me to stage a Chenqiao mutiny and wear a yellow robe."

Sun Erhen was shocked.

Sun Er really remembered a few related people.
