First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao went all the way to Zhongshu Province. This time, he finally didn’t see Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian arguing. The people inside saw Zhu Biao hurried over to salute. Zhu Biao saw that there were more and more people and hurriedly ordered: “My palace Come to find Li Xiang, you all go to your own business, you don't have to come out to see the ceremony.

After speaking, he walked directly towards Li Shanchang's room, and saw Li Shanchang standing at the door with a chess record in his hand, waiting for Zhu Biao.

Seeing Zhu Biao arrived, Li Shanchang greeted him with a smile: The old minister sees His Royal Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu.

Zhu Biao helped the two of them to say a few words of courtesy, and then they entered the room. There were chess sets on the table. It seemed that Li Shanchang was playing with himself just now.

Zhu Biao sat down and said: Xiangguo is very leisurely, I am going to lose my leg.

Li Shanchang also sat down and said with a smile: This is the official business of the veteran. Except for important matters, the rest of the veterans are handed over to Hu Weiyong. Of course, Yang Xian also left some. I have to say that with these two people, the veteran is leisurely all day long. very.

Zhu Biao shook his head, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian, these three people have the ability to assist the world, it is really trivial to deal with these things together, but unfortunately Zhu Biao's own father has no one to share it for him, being an emperor is tiring.

Li Shanchang took a sip of tea and said: The old minister just heard that the three princes went to the Sixth Ministry under His Royal Highness's order, and urged the work of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, saying that they would go to Shanxi with His Highness to deal with the relocation.

Zhu Biao nodded: The three of them are bored, so I'll just find something for them to do.

Li Shanchang leaned on the chair and said: The old minister said something that is not pleasant. These three princes are not young, and they have all been on the battlefield. Although they are nothing compared to His Royal Highness, why bother to let them contact? civil.

Zhu Biao smiled, Li Shanchang is the prince's young teacher, not to mention his youngest daughter will marry into the East Palace as the prince's side concubine, naturally he doesn't want to see other princes who are too good.

Zhu Biao asked: Li Xiangke heard from my father that the emperor wanted to entrust the kings to guard the capital?

Li Shanchang nodded: The Holy Majesty discussed this matter with the old minister and Liu Bowen last year. Both of us expressed our concerns about this matter first, but the Holy Majesty has made up his mind, and the ministers dare not say anything.

There will be endless troubles after enfeoffing the kings, but Zhu Yuanzhang's will cannot be reversed by these two people, especially Li Shanchang. He will never force Zhu Yuanzhang at any time, which is why he, the big housekeeper, has been able to do so for so long.

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao and said: The consideration of this matter is not wrong. It is necessary to take back the military power for the stability of the world, no matter which dynasty or generation it is.

Zhu Biao nodded, and Li Shanchang went on to say: The sage is so wise, he will definitely consider it for His Royal Highness. The veteran guesses that the rights of the vassal kings will be bound, and they can't do it without decades of business. At that time, Your Highness It is estimated that he has become a superior, and it is enough to cut down the feudal clan.

Zhu Biao asked with a smile: Has Li Xiangke paid attention to the political situation in Korea?

Li Shanchang thought for a while and said: I have seen it twice in my spare time, but I just lamented his internal and external troubles. I don't know why Your Highness asked about this?

Zhu Biao crossed his hands in front of him: How does Li Xiang feel about letting the vassal king rule Goryeo?

Li Shanchang was taken aback for a moment, then stroked his beard and pondered for a while and said: Although Goryeo is now in a state of internal and external troubles, its inheritance is still there, and there are still many descendants of the Goryeo clan. It may not be so easy for me, Ming Dynasty, to become the master. , not to mention the bitter cold in Goryeo, the princes are probably unwilling to go, and the Holy Majesty will not agree.

Zhu Biao said: I have already talked to my father about this matter. It is by no means a long-term solution to place vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. Although it is necessary for them to suppress various places now, after the court is on the right track, the kings will just Trouble.

This palace thinks about cutting down the feudal clan in the future and giving the kings two choices, either to live a peaceful life in the capital and enjoy a few generations of prosperity, or to go abroad to become a feudal clan and guard the feudal state.

Li Shanchang frowned and said: The overseas vassal states are too far away from the capital. I am afraid that they will eventually break away from the control of the court. If the court is in a weak period after a hundred years, it may be a greater threat than the rebellion of the vassal kings in the country.

Zhu Biao is naturally aware of this point, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also worried about the same. After all, within the territory of Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings are subject to the restrictions and surveillance of the court everywhere, but when they go abroad, the vassal kings become the real kings. The economy is one-handed. If a hundred years later, Daming encounters several generations of stupid kings in succession, and happens to encounter continuous natural disasters, foreign vassal kings may not have the opportunity to counterattack the Central Plains.

However, there is no way around this. Zhu Biao is bound to take over the surrounding lands. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter who is sent to govern, there is such a risk. Don’t those big officials in frontiers rebel? , the meat rotten in the pot is also my own.

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao a little puzzled, the Ming Dynasty is vast, why should he stare at that small country, but this is not what he should ask, His Royal Highness came to him to say these things, it is his heart, and it is also for him who is about to The trust of retired people.

Li Shanchang stroked his beard and said, It's not too difficult to win Goryeo. As long as you can occupy the righteousness, everything will be fine, and its territory is not small enough to entrust two or three vassal kings. What do you think, Your Highness?

Zhu Biao smiled, this is also a way, Koryo entrusted three and Japan enfeoffed five or six, according to the principle of outlying attacks, their fiefdoms must be adjacent to each other, friction must be inevitable, but they are all brother countries, it is not easy to go to war directly, in the end both It requires the central court to call the shots.

Li Shanchang is old and mature, and because of his special status, Zhu Biao will tell Li Shanchang about this, just to hear his ideas. The two talked for an hour. Zhu Biao has a lot of thoughts about restricting the vassal king, so it is not good to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang After all, the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat, of course Zhu Biao is not the palms or the backs of the hands, but the heart and soul of Comrade Zhu ().

The conversation was almost over, and Zhu Biao also drank a mouthful of tea with dry mouth and said, Thank you Li Xiang for helping me think so much.

Li Shanchang said with a smile: The old minister, the prime minister, is not good at playing chess every day with his salary. If the old minister has not retired, if you have any questions, you can discuss with him.

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biaoshang's young face and said worriedly: The extreme of wisdom will be hurt, the deep love will not last long, and the extreme will be humiliated. A gentleman is as gentle as jade. The old minister never worries about whether His Highness can govern the world well, but only worries about yours. Body, I have thought too much and worked hard, I hope His Highness cherishes himself.

Zhu Biao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then remembered that he was only fourteen or five years old this year. Although there were many precocious people in ancient times, most of them didn't live long, so it's no wonder that Li Shanchang was worried.

Li Shanchang stroked his beard and said: This court is full of people who support you, and even the biggest Donggong party is the Holy One, why should you be so troubled at your age.

Now, the daily recommendation votes have slipped from more than 2,000 to more than 400 per day, and it should not be the end (╥﹏╥). I asked the editor in charge to find out that this is normal.

Then I haven’t got the recommended position for a long time, I really want it, but I don’t dare to ask for it (╯﹏╰)

Yesterday’s new favorites were more than 20... To be honest, I increased faster than this when I first had 20,000 words (ノ_＜)
