First Prince of Ming Dynasty

In addition to these three chieftains, there is also the Tian family who is entrenched in Sizhou.

In the beginning, it was just a relationship in name, but with the transformation of old Zhu Fengyun into a dragon, this master-slave relationship has been implemented. The reason why the chieftain of Guizhou has surrendered so obediently is because Tian has already surrendered. There is already a hole in the family. Of course there is no need to fight.

Originally, the Tian family was also planning to come to Beijing, but Lao Zhu personally wrote a pacifying decree and sent it over, saying, You are in the southwest, and you come to pay tribute from afar, and your intentions are very diligent. I regard the ministers who guard the land in the world as envoys of the imperial court. Officials, the people are all the children of the imperial court. If you return to caress them, so that everyone can live in peace, you can also enjoy wealth and honor for a long time. There is nothing greater than respect for a husband, and virtue is more prosperous than love. Being able to respect and love is the way of being a minister. also.

In this way, the arrangement of the four major chieftains in Guizhou is complete. At least there will be no major changes before the army enters.

Long Zan Ah Qi led the crowd to bow down solemnly to the emperor again, and all the officials in the court congratulated him in unison. They were more happy that the other party surrendered voluntarily than when they were defeated.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave another banquet in the Wuying Hall, which is very rare, so all the officials also gave face, plus Longzan Aqi and others were different from the previous ones, and now they have been canonized, that is a serious court The ordering officer and the ministers of the same court said that there is no chance of contact.

So no matter how much they shouted and shouted to kill, a banquet began, and Long Zan, Aqi and others also selectively forgot that the group of colleagues around them who were enthusiastically toasting were still advocating to kill them a few days ago These chieftains...

Lao Zhu still drank three glasses of wine as usual and left. Zhu Biao left after drinking a few more glasses than his father. Host the banquet on behalf of the Tian family.

Those at the top must maintain mystery and majesty, and it is only necessary to do it when it is reckless to mingle with the people below. Now neither Lao Zhu nor Zhu Biao need to do this. I dare not take it anymore, the status of the situation is different.

Zhu Bing is just right, the identity of the third son of the emperor is also very good, the status is not awkward and not low, and now it seems that he is the most trusted brother of the prince, and the officials of the court will not deliberately avoid suspicion now, after all, this is the prince His Highness personally launched it.

Zhu Bing's appearance is considered to be the most outstanding among all the brothers. At this time, he is also wearing a dignified royal royal uniform and a crown.

After listening to Liu Jin's report, Zhu Biao casually put down the memorial in his hand and said with a smile: The third son has been smart since he was a child, so it will be no problem to be alone in the future, and the emperor can rest assured.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the upper position, had a ruddy complexion and satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head and said: A wise man must think more, but the third child is careful but less decisive. The problem of looking forward and backward has never been changed. You still have to practice!

Zhu Biao complimented: There is no better way to know a son than a father. The emperor's understanding of his sons is naturally the most real.

Lao Zhu snorted and said, Why did you think of letting the third child go to help the disaster? We think you made a sudden decision.

Zhu Biao approved a memorial from the Ministry of War and replied: It's not a sudden decision. Some time ago, I wanted to let my younger brothers go down to do some errands. One is to relieve father's worries and problems, and the other is to sharpen myself. , from now on, they will all be vassals who will be in charge of one side.

Talking about this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became a little embarrassed. It was a policy he had set up a few years ago that the feudal sons would serve as the vassal of the country, because when he wanted to fight against the tiger, his brothers and his father and son soldiers, the old Zhu's family had a weak foundation and conquered the world. But most of the power is distributed to others, which are unstable factors.

Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, rituals, music, and evil people have not been ancient. Lao Zhu has tasted so many betrayals along the way. He naturally knows that too many people share adversity. It is the scourge of the new dynasty.

That's why I was in a hurry to take back the military power scattered in the hands of the generals by entrusting the kings, and then took the military power back to the central government, but I didn't expect that my own standard was so outstanding, and the successor was so outstanding. It seems that I don't need this There is also a way to slowly regain military power...

Just like Li Shimin, his own ability is superb, and his age is much younger than that group of arrogant soldiers, so there is no need to rush to do these things, and he will take them back naturally.

Zhu Biao noticed the embarrassment of his father, and in fact, there were already signs. Three years ago in Hongwu, old Zhu always talked about it on different occasions, but he never talked about it in the past two years. It can be seen that he regretted it. Now, anyone can see the hidden dangers of vassal separatism, let alone a founding emperor.

Zhu Biao comforted him and said, Father is anxious to nationalize the military power, and my sons and ministers are also anxious. There are advantages and disadvantages to building multiple vassals, but at least in the short term, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Erchen is still very supportive of foreign development.”

Lao Zhu has never had anything bad to say with his own prince, and he will not deliberately conceal anything at this time. He was silent for a moment and said: We don't worry about your life now...

Zhu Biao looked up at his father solemnly and said: My son will take care of it, father just go ahead according to your plan.

Raising a son knows the kindness of his parents. Zhu Biao is a bit special. He has a son, but he is not empathetic with the blood relationship between father and son, but is even more ashamed. He has received a unique love.

You must know that in this era, a man with a little achievement will not lack women, and if he does not lack women, he will naturally not lack sons. If there are too many sons, it will be the same.

The more this is the case, the more I sigh, Zhu Biao is a fickle person. In fact, in the dead of night, he always feels separated from the world, like a dream, and he will worry that when he wakes up, he will find that everything here is just a big dream. .

At that time, I thought, if this is a dream, what is the most reluctant thing?

At first, I thought it was a monstrous power of life and death, comparable to the honor status of a true god in the world. After all, those who have tasted this taste will find it difficult to let go, and they don't want to let go even if they die.

But now he finds out that it is his father, and even thinks that even if they are not the masters of the world, it should be good to go begging for alms together. No matter what the situation, Zhu Biao believes that Lao Zhu will give the best he can get. Give it all to him.

Even if such a deep love is a piece of rock, it should be warmed up. For a person who loves you so much, you will unconsciously want to satisfy his wish, even if it is a little tiring and troublesome, what is it?

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Biao took the initiative to devolve the officials under the command of the Eastern Palace, and it is precisely because of this that he took the initiative to arrange for his younger brothers to go down to do things, and he should repay the favor if he knows the favor.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, his heart warmed, and he laughed a few times. He picked up the tea on the side and took a big sip, but because it was newly made tea, the entrance was scalded and spit it out, scaring the maids who were waiting on the side The eunuchs almost fainted.

After a panic, he calmed down. Lao Zhu covered his mouth and coughed a few times: How do you plan to settle the Yang family in Bozhou?

Zhu Biao replied immediately: Press first and then suppress.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied look, he is indeed our big brother, just as we thought.

Why? Just because Mrs. Yang waited and watched, so as to kill chickens and monkeys?

No, I think Bozhou is from Qijiang and Nanchuan in Sichuan in the west, Chishui, Wusa, Shuixi, and Huangping in the southwest, and Huguang Pianqiao and Yuanzhou in the east. It is connected with the three provinces. In the southeast, facing the river is a pool, and in the middle are valleys, steep cliffs, and crossing streams, where men and horses cannot go side by side, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been an important place for military strategists.

How can such a dangerous place be stable if it is handed over to outsiders? Regardless of whether the Yang family is eager to surrender or hesitate to wait and see, Bozhou must be brought under my Ming's control. Willing to obey my Da Ming's dispatch and conquest.

Although there were natural disasters and wars in the Ming Dynasty in the past two years, due to the proper handling of the court, the world was generally peaceful, and it was fully capable of starting a big war in the southwest. It was just a question of pros and cons that needed to be weighed.

Strategically, they seek stability, but if Da Ming really wants to go to war to completely solve the troubles of Yunnan and Guizhou, then they will definitely not be able to resist. This is a problem that everyone knows. Death and family destruction.

This is the difference in size, and it cannot be resolved by any conspiracy.
