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 hurriedly come over to salute, Zhu Biao saw more and more people and hurriedly ordered: "This palace comes to find Li Xiang, you all go to your own official business, you don't have to come out to see the ceremony." ”

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

Seeing that Zhu Biao had arrived, Li Shanchang greeted him with a smile: "The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Qianqiu." ”

Zhu Biao helped the two of them to say a few polite words, and then entered the house, only to see chess sets on the table, it seems that Li Shanchang was playing by himself just now.

Zhu Biao sat down and said: "Xiangguo is very leisurely, and the palace is about to break his leg." ”

Li Shanchang also sat down and said with a smile: "This is the official business of the old minister, except for important matters, the rest of the old ministers are handed over to Hu Weiyong to deal with, of course, Yang Xian also took some away, I have to say that with these two people, the old minister is very leisurely all day." ”

Zhu Biao shook his head, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian, these three people have the ability to slaughter and assist the world, and it is indeed trivial to deal with these together, but it is a pity that Zhu Biao's own father has no one to share it for him, and it is tiring to be the emperor.

Li Shanchang took a sip of tea and said: "The old minister just heard that the three princes went to the Sixth Ministry on the orders of His Royal Highness, and urged the work of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, saying that they were going to Shanxi with His Highness to deal with the relocation of the people. ”

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

Li Shanchang leaned back in his chair and said: "The old minister said something that he didn't like, these three princes are not young, and they have all been on the battlefield, although they are nothing compared to His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness bothered to let them get in touch with civil affairs." ”

Zhu Biao smiled, Li Shanchang is the young master of the crown prince, not to mention that his youngest daughter is also going to marry into the East Palace as the prince's concubine, so naturally he doesn't want to see other princes too good.

Zhu Biao asked: "Li Xiangke heard my father say that he would divide the kings and guard the Jingshi?" ”

Li Shanchang nodded: "This matter was discussed with the old minister and Liu Bowen last year, and both of us expressed our worries about this matter first, but the saint has made up his mind, and the ministers don't dare to say anything." ”

There are endless troubles for the queens to be divided, but Zhu Yuanzhang's will is not something that these two people can reverse, especially Li Shanchang, he will not be hard against Zhu Yuanzhang at any time, which is also the reason why he, the big housekeeper, can be so long.

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao and said: "There is nothing wrong with the consideration of the saints in this matter, it is necessary to recover military power in the stability of the world, no matter which dynasty or generation." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, and Li Shanchang continued: "How wise the saint is, he must think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the old minister guesses that the rights of the vassal kings will be restricted, and they can't think of it without decades of operation." At that time, His Royal Highness is estimated to have become the upper position, and it will be enough to cut the domain. ”

Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "Li Xiangke has paid attention to the political situation in Goryeo?" ”

Li Shanchang thought for a while and said: "I have also seen it twice in my spare time, but I just sighed at its internal and external troubles, I don't know why His Highness asked about it?" ”

Zhu Biao crossed his hands in front of him: "What does Li Xiang think about letting the vassal king enter Goryeo?" ”

Li Shanchang was stunned 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 children of the Goryeo clan. ”

Zhu Biao said: "I have already told my father about this matter, it is by no means a long-term solution to place the vassal king in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, although it is now necessary to let them suppress all places, but after the court is on the right track, the kings will only be in trouble." ”

"This palace thinks that in the future, I will cut the feudal domain and give the kings two choices, either to live a peaceful life in the capital honestly and enjoy a prosperous life for several generations, or to go abroad to become a feudal lord and guard the feudal country."

Li Shanchang frowned and said: "The overseas vassal kingdom is too far away from the capital division, I am afraid that it will eventually be out of the control of the imperial court, if it encounters the weak period of the imperial court after a hundred years, I am afraid that it will be more threatening than the rebellion of the feudal king in the territory." ”

Zhu Biao is naturally aware of this, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also worried, after all, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king must be restricted and monitored by the imperial court everywhere, and when he goes abroad, the vassal king has become the real king, and the domestic political, military and economic are all grasped with one hand.

But this is also a matter of no choice, Zhu Biao is bound to take the surrounding land, the emperor is far away, no matter who is sent to govern, there is this risk, won't those feudal officials rebel, and the meat rotting in the pot is their own.

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao a little puzzled, the Ming Dynasty has a vast country, why should he stare at that small country, but this is not what he should ask, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to him and said this, that is his mind, and it is also the trust of him, a person who is about to retire.

Li Shanchang stroked his beard and said: "It's not too difficult to take Goryeo, as long as you can occupy Dayi, everything can be done, and its territory is not small, enough to divide two or three vassal kings, what does Your Highness think?" ”

Zhu Biao smiled, this is also a way, Goryeo is divided into three and Japan is divided into five or six, according to the principle of long-distance attack, their fiefdoms are adjacent to each other, and friction must be indispensable, but they are all fraternal countries, and it is not good to start a war directly, and in the end they all require the central court to call the shots.

Li Shanchang is old and refined, and his special identity is special, Zhu Biao will tell Li Shanchang about this, just to listen to his ideas, the two talked for an hour, Zhu Biao has a lot of ideas to restrict the vassal king It is not good to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are meat, of course, Zhu Biao is not the palm of the hand or the back of the hand, it is the heart of the old Comrade Zhu (????????????????).

The conversation was almost over, and Zhu Biao also had a dry mouth and said after taking a sip of tea: "Thank you Li Xiang for thinking so much about this palace." ”

Li Shanchang said with a smile: "The old minister, the prime minister, is not good at playing chess every day, while the old minister has not yet retired, His Royal Highness can discuss with the minister if he has anything." ”

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biaoshang's somewhat green face and said worriedly: "Huiji will be hurt, deep love will not live, strong will be humiliated, humble gentleman, gentle as jade, the old minister has never worried about whether His Royal Highness can govern the world well, but he is worried about your body, thinking about working too hard, and I hope Your Highness will cherish himself." ”

Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that he was only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, although there were many precocious people in ancient times, but most of them did not live long, no wonder Li Shanchang was worried.

Li Shanchang stroked his beard and said: "This tide is full of people who support you, and even the biggest Donggong party is the Holy One, why are you so sad."
