After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Tao helplessly.

"It seems that we should think about it carefully. If we give these vassals absolute strength without restraint, there will be disasters in the future."

Zhu Tao nodded. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was a hero of his generation, so these things can naturally be clarified.

But seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little disappointed, he still wanted to give the old man an idea.

"Take Jin Wang Zhu Yan and Yan Wang Zhu Di as examples, both of them are far from being in the pool. They are only the kings of the Nine Frontiers, and they are inferior talents. They should be allowed to expand their territories."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that his two sons were definitely first-class fierce generals, and even possessed handsome talents. If time passed, they might not be inferior to Xu Da's achievements.

But just like this, if they are now allowed to build up their feats of opening up territories and gaining more military power, wouldn't Zhu Biao's position be dangerous in the future?
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's tangled look, Zhu Tao certainly knew what he was thinking, so he said.

"The Ming Dynasty has established a system of clan conferring nobility. Naturally, there is no more land to distribute to them, but they can be allowed to conquer on their own, and they will be given as much as they can."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood right away, and now it is time to let these powerful vassal kings go outside to fight.

No matter how many lands outside of Ming Dynasty they conquered, they could all be their fiefdoms, as long as they were under the banner of Ming Dynasty.

If you have the ability, you can drink and eat meat, but if you have no ability, you can't even drink soup. Under the premise of conferring titles and titles, this is a good way to motivate the clan.

Now that his mind had been opened, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood began to improve. He took a sip of fresh beer and said to Zhu Tao.

"That is to say, you kid can come up with such an idea, and we have to give you a credit."

Zhu Tao expressed helplessly, as long as he could give me a few more days off and sleep more, it would be more reliable than any reward.

Although Empress Ma has always insisted on the principle that the harem should not be involved in politics, and has never pointed fingers at Zhu Yuanzhang's affairs, she still feels sorry for her son.

Seeing that Zhu Tao has planned so much, he also wanted to let him have a good rest, so he said.

"Chongba, look how tired the child is. I will plan this and that for you every day. A good child. We must let him be the chief minister of the cabinet. We are afraid that the child will be tired."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in his heart, the entire Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that you dare to call us a heavy eight.

However, he still said with a smile.

"After all, Tao'er is still too young. If he is not allowed to make more contributions, how can we give him a big reward in the future? Don't worry, I will let him rest well."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought that after returning to Datong not long ago, Jin Wang Zhu Yan came to the capital again because of the emergency of the war, and reported to himself face to face, and he has not left the capital yet.

So, he said to Old Tang next to him.

"Old Tang, we didn't bring anyone with us this time, so you'll have to work hard. Go to Yanwang's Mansion and Jinwang's Mansion respectively, and give us an oral order to let the third and fourth children come here immediately. We have something to say."

Old Tang immediately took the order to leave, and in less than half an hour, Zhu Yan and Zhu Di had already arrived here.

After the two arrived here, they found that Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were all here, and they didn't know what to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang tentatively asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I don't know if the emperor is so eager to call his sons over, what is there to tell us to do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang changed from the majesty of the emperor in the past, and just said with a smile.

"Of course it's a good thing. We are planning to crack the soil and seal you kings, and seal them again."

Zhu Di and Zhu Yan looked at each other, both of them were a little confused, not knowing what was going on.

The system of conferring nobles and conferring titles in the Ming Dynasty has long been established. It is considered a great honor to be able to inherit the nine great kings of the Great Sai, so how can they continue to crack the soil and seal them up.

Zhu Di quickly kowtowed and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, did you drink some wine with Brother Tao, and you became a little drunk, I'd better help you go back to rest, and discuss it after you sober up."

Seeing that Zhu Di said that, Zhu Yan could only follow the topic.

"Yes, father, you are already a little drunk, you should rest earlier, I can't do things that are not good for the country while you are drunk, after all, we are all your princes."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy when he saw the two saying this, and felt that the two princes were people who knew the general situation and took the overall situation into consideration.

"Don't think too much about it. The two of you know how much we usually drink. It's a huge amount, not to mention a thousand drinks."

Of course Zhu Yan and Zhu Di were aware of Zhu Yuanzhang's drinking capacity, but if they didn't use this excuse to stop the conversation, they didn't know how it would end.

Because they have already expressed it before, if there are descendants of Yanwang lineage and Jinwang lineage who do not support the conferment, they will be rebels.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang allowed the descendants of these two feudal lords to be hereditary successors, their attitude had already been promised, and they could only repent at will.

At this time, don't say that the royal father may be a temptation, even if he really wants to re-seal himself, it is naturally unacceptable.

Seeing their cautious appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing secretly, put down his wine glass and said.

"Okay, you two don't have to think about it anymore. I said that I want to seal your land, but I didn't say it was Daming's land."

The two were even more dazed. Daming really didn't have that much land to seal, but if Daming's land was not sealed, where would it be sealed?
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, looked at Zhu Tao and said.

"Tao'er, explain your strategy to your third brother and fourth brother, so that they can also know your majestic strategy."

Zhu Tao had no choice but to repeat what he said just now to Zhu Yan and Zhu Di.

Although during the process of telling the story, the two have been restraining their excitement, but it can be seen that they are very excited.

You know, if you can really promote this idea, as many territories as you lay down, as many as your own fiefdoms.

With the skills and talents of Yan Wang Zhu Di and Jin Wang Zhu Yan, I am afraid that if they are allowed to fight freely, the territory that can be conquered is no less than the territory of Daming.

At this time, it is difficult for them to restrain their inner excitement.

And they are also very grateful to Zhu Tao in their hearts. If Zhu Tao hadn't put forward such an idea, they would have no chance to display their ideals and ambitions.

In all fairness, although the prince Zhu Biao is practicing benevolent government and caring for the world, but compared with the comprehensive development of Wenzhiwugong, these two princes are slightly better.
