Ten Princes' Mansion,

Zhu Chenhao walked into his own courtyard, and he didn't know how Emperor Hongzhi would assess them when he summoned them to Beijing?

According to the analysis of previous dynasties, the vassal king was drunk and dreamed of death, so there was no threat to the imperial power.

But Emperor Hongzhi did the opposite, summoned them to Beijing, and taught them how to govern the vassal state, after this rebellion, wouldn't he be able to become emperor directly?

However, he firmly believed that His Majesty was relying on something, and after analyzing all the things, he came to a conclusion.

Your Majesty is too confident.

He thought that with the military and financial resources of the imperial court, it was enough to suppress the rebellion of any vassal king.

But His Majesty overlooked the fact that the king's amortization of troops and financial resources far exceeded his estimates.

"Lord Wang, King Xing asks to see!" Steward Ji walked in to report.

The so-called Ten Palaces are not ten palaces.

Rather, it is a huge mansion, in which small courtyards are separated, like a small imperial palace.

It was built based on the Ten Kings' Mansion of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Youqi stood in front of the gate.

Among the ten princes who entered Beijing, only King Ning had the best fief.

The vassal kings have been in their respective feudal countries, they have never met, and they may not know each other when they walk on the street, and they have no friendship with King Ning.

However, in this Beijing assessment, everyone is a difficult brother and should join forces.

Zhu Youqi walked in and laughed: "King Ning and I were born in the same year and month, it's really fate!" ”

Although born in the same year and month, Zhu Youqi and Zhu Chenhao look very different.

Zhu Youqi is somewhat similar to Emperor Hongzhi, while Zhu Chenhao is like the old king next door.

Zhu Chenhao was very respectful, and did not despise Wang because of his wealth.

He smiled heartily and said, "I heard that King Xing wants to move to Jiangnan and be a neighbor with me?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't allow it, I can't do anything if I want to move, Jiangnan is good, and King Ning's fief is enviable." King Xing took a sip of tea and glanced at King Ning.

Zhu Chenhao racked his brains and helped him make suggestions: "The three ministers and the six ministers of the cabinet will not interfere in begging,

As far as this king knows, in addition to these six people, there is also a royal history named Yan Chengjin, who may be able to move His Majesty. ”

Let King Xing try His Majesty's attitude first.

If King Xing goes to see Yan Chengjin and is not injured, then he will be fine if he goes to see Yan Chengjin.

It's not a good thing to fool this king to meet the important ministers of the court, Zhu Youqi chuckled and said: "Don't dare to see it, it's better to wait for the assessment to be completed." ”

I don't know what Your Majesty wants to assess.

If you take the liberty of seeing a minister, you will be rated as an inferior ......

He wants to be rated as superior, maybe when the time comes, it will be simple to ask for a fief.

Ten vassal kings entered Beijing one after another and lived in the Ten Princes' Mansions.

Only King Shou has not yet come.

……

Palace

The ministers gathered in the main hall and summoned the ten feudal kings to the capital to teach how to govern the feudal kingdom.

After discussing with each other, a conclusion was reached.

Just like a sutra feast, he gave lectures to the vassal kings, and then he was assessed.

Liu Jian said: "The superior can return to the fiefdom, and the inferior can stay, and continue to work diligently with the next group of vassal kings." ”

The fief of the vassal king occupied nearly one-fifth of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

And the chronic illness of the vassal king has been extremely serious since ancient times.

When they exercised tyranny in their fiefdoms, the people would flee, and the fields would be left uncultivated, and the court would need money to feed them.

In short, the vassal monarchy was the financial cancer of the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to carry out the prosperous world, you must rectify the vassal king.

Emperor Hongzhi did not expect them to be as virtuous and thrifty as himself, but only to avoid committing crimes and lead by example.

He looked at the cabinet, and then at the Metropolitan Procuratorate: "The great plan of the vassal king will be handled by the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Even I am not familiar with the laws of the Great Ming, let alone the vassal king.

The vassal king is far away in the fiefdom, and he needs to know the laws and disciplines of the dynasty and lead by example in order to govern the people.

In this lecture, the Metropolitan Procuratorate needs to let the vassal king know the Great Ming Law. ”

The yamen who is most familiar with the Da Ming Law is the Three Law Division, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises the government and the opposition, which is the most suitable for this rule.

Wu Kuan bowed slightly to receive the order: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

He was worried, and he didn't know where to start teaching, so he reported to him: "In the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate, only Yan Chengjin is the most familiar with the Da Ming Law, why don't Yan Chengjin be the lecturers?" ”

"The qualifications of the lower officials are still shallow, and they are only four-grade officials, how dare they give lectures to the vassal king."

The cabinet and Jiuqing are both hairy people, and he is still a hairless boy.

If you give a lecture to the vassal king, you may be bombarded by the vassal king.

"This official used to be on duty in the Ministry of Officials, and he just came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate not long ago, so he is not as familiar with Minglu as you."

"But from the point of view of the lower officials, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public......"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin, and when he knew that this son would not be impeached, he was looking at Da Ming Law: "Let's talk about it from Yan Qing's family." ”

“……”

Yan Chengjin wanted the ten vassal kings to become homeless people and throw them into the grass hut of the homeless.

The Ming Dynasty had two extremely frugal emperors, one was Zhu Yuanzhang and the other was Zhu Youji.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a beggar and knows that a tea and a meal are not easy to come by.

After becoming the emperor, he was extremely frugal, and he also set the law, and the highest standard of food was eaten, and he could only eat four dishes and one soup.

Not to mention Emperor Hongzhi.

Explain the law to the vassal kings, it is better to let them become exiles.

Tomorrow will be the day to give lectures to the vassal kings.

Before the next duty, Yan Chengjin was invited by Zhu Houzhao to come to the East Palace, and he was breeding the little mare in the courtyard.

The little eunuchs on the side prepared grain and grass.

"Why didn't His Highness let Liu Wentai come?"

"He will report to his father that this war horse has a good breed, if he can give birth to two, two to four...... The main palace can save a lot of silver. Zhu Houzhao understood very clearly.

Yan Chengjin said: "His Royal Highness called the ministers to come just to see this?" ”

"No, this palace wants to buy fifty mares, and the big black horse will breed them and give birth to a bunch of war horses.

But the uncle of this palace went overseas, and no one did it, so how about putting it in your mansion? ”

Lao Gao's mansion has maids who specialize in serving chickens, ducks, sheep and geese.

And he has a new courtyard, which is kept there, and it is not easy for his father to find out.

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "The minister will report to Your Majesty first, if Your Majesty agrees......"

This is tantamount to rejecting Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao never dared to let Emperor Hongzhi know, not because he was afraid of being beaten, but because he was afraid that the two war horses would be confiscated.

The next morning,

Yan Chengjin tidied up his clothes, put on the unicorn clothes given by the emperor, and came to the Wenhua Palace.

Nine vassal kings have been seated, and one of the farthest kings has not come.

Zhu Chenhao looked at the scholars on the podium and saw that the scarlet robe was the imperial history of Hanyuan.

Zhu Youqi was sitting precariously, with the image of a Confucian student.

Yan Chengjin saw the nine vassal kings for the first time, and said: "The lower officials will give lectures to the vassal kings, and I also ask the vassal kings to introduce them, so that the lower officials can evaluate the ranks." ”

Zhu Chenhao took the lead and said: "King Ning! ”

"King Xing!"

"Thou king!"

"Yiwang!"

"King Jing!"

"King Rong!"

……

Yan Chengjin's eyes fell on Zhu Chenhao, sitting tall and upright, and he looked like a good student.

"The lower officials want to give the first lecture on the household law in the Daming law, and the title is determined by nationality.

All military and civilian post stoves, doctors, and workers are happy to all kinds of households, and they are determined by their nationality. If you cheat and get rid of the rabbit, avoid the heavy and light......"

Not long after the beginning, except for King Ning and King Yi, the rest of the people showed tiredness.

Half an hour later, he simply climbed on the stage and fell asleep, and took a moral impression with Zhu Hou.

"The lecturer is the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yan Chengjin?" Zhu Chenhao asked.

Xingwang Zhu Youqi's eyes lit up and said, "You are Yan Chengjin?" ”

"Please also ask King Ning and King Xing to listen attentively, and don't ask topics that are not related to the class."

Buy skin~

I don't know how Da Ming's makeup is, he plans to put on makeup tomorrow.

Fengtian Temple,

The little eunuch came to report to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, except for King Ning, King Yi, and King Xing, the rest of the princes are all asleep. ”

These unsuccessful guys!

They have a bad character and make trouble in the fiefdom, and I teach them to govern the feudal country, and they do not accept my good intentions.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Spread Yan Chengjin." ”
