During the meal, Yun Zhi said to Yun Xi: "Brother Huang, wouldn't it be a pity to come to Suzhou once and not visit the famous places in Suzhou?" ”

Yun Xi smiled: "We are worthy of being brothers and sisters, and if we want to go together, we also want to take a look at the famous places in Suzhou for my brother." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"It's just," Yun Xi said deliberately, "I'm worried about the ministers of the court, and I'm a little hesitant to see the famous places in Suzhou." Xiang Bao, the prefect of this place, is also considered a great Confucian, and I am afraid that he will not cover up for the imperial brother, and the other adjutants are not very useful in speaking. Although the royal brother is not afraid of their advice, he always has a bad reputation. ”

"Why should the imperial brother care about those rotten thoughts? Could it be that these places of interest can only be visited by scholars, and the imperial brother is not allowed to visit? ”

"Besides, these people are selfish, they want to lock the royal brother in the palace, so that the imperial brother can't hear anything, can't see anything, only listen to their words, they are willing. So the royal brother doesn't have to care what these people say. Yun Zhi said.

Yun Xi looked at Yun Zhi dumbfounded, and looked at Yun Zhi embarrassed, blushing and said, "What is the imperial brother doing looking at his sister like this?" ”

Yun Xi sighed: "We are worthy of being brothers and sisters. Although this statement is the same as the previous one, the meaning is completely different.

Before, he had just said it casually. When you arrive in Suzhou, who can bear not to see the famous places? Even if it's not Yun Zhi who comes this time, it's other princesses or princesses, they can't help it.

But what he said just now was not something that any princess or princess could say. And the wonderful thing is that these words are very similar to what Yun Xi said when he complained to Puyu.

'Counting up, I have been in contact with her since the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and it has been eight years since this year, which is not a short time; But she was only three years old when she was twenty-five years old, and she is only eleven years old this year, so she can say such things, really, is it that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black? Obviously, she spends more time with her two sisters and her mother. ’

Yun Xi thought about it and said, "If you are a man, my brother will definitely give you a big fiefdom." ”

What he said was clueless, and Yun Zhi didn't know how to answer. At this time, Baoqing suddenly said: "Why, can't this princess be as feudal as the royal brothers?" ”

The imperial brother that Baoqing said was naturally not Yun Xi them, but the prince of Zhu Di's generation. So far, all of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons have been crowned kings and have fiefs, although the youngest sons have not been feuded, and Yunxi may not let them be feuded, but they also have fiefs.

However, the Ming Dynasty did not have a system of princesses sealing the domain, and there was no precedent in the past dynasties, even if Yunxi treated his daughter and son as equals in his heart, he could not crown his daughter as king; is in the West, although there are barons and queens, but basically daughters will inherit when the first king and first lord have no children, and the baroness and queens are also very rare.

"This, the law of the country, did not let the princess seal the country......" Yun Xigang and Baoqing explained half a sentence, and suddenly froze.

He remembered that at the beginning of this year, he added Cao Che, the commander of Jiangdu and Ma, as the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town to be responsible for the development of Taiwan, which was also a grasp of military and political power, but the officials under him had no right to appoint them and needed to be appointed by the imperial court; If the court doesn't care too much about this military town, or the person in charge has a good relationship with the general army, there is not much difference between it and a real prince, and there is no actual difference from the current kings such as the acting king, the king of Qing, and the king of Jin.

Yun Xi can completely appoint the trusted princess and the horse as such a general soldier, which is easy to use, and the tail of the province is not lost.

What's more, the prince can be crowned king, and the concubine can be similar to the prince and the actual lord of the town like the Xiping Hou Mu family, and there is a feeling of 'equal interests', which can further tie the interests of the lord with the interests of the Ming Zhu family, which is the basic plate of the Ming Dynasty is more stable.

Yun Xi also deduced that in fact, the princes around the Ming Dynasty can also do the same, slowly cancel their power to appoint officials, and when the technical conditions are met, they will naturally cancel the feudal country.

But there are two things: first, those who are perfectly raw cannot do this until they have become ripe, otherwise the raw land will never become mature; Second, if the feudal domain too far away from the Ming Dynasty is not good, if it is forced to let the feudal domain too far away have the power to appoint officials, then sooner or later it will be destroyed by the local natives, just like the Western Regions after the Anshi Rebellion, it is better not to be sealed.

Yun Xi was stunned, Yun Zhi didn't dare to speak, Baoqing wanted to continue asking, but remembered his mother's instructions before going out, and he didn't say anything, Xianqin, as the county lord who just came to the capital last year, would not speak in front of Yun Xi unless necessary; The people were even more afraid to speak, so it was cold for a while.

When Yun Xi came back to his senses, he saw that not only was there no sound at the banquet, but even the chopsticks were not moved, and he smiled: "Why don't you eat, are you full?" ”

He laughed and laughed, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed a lot, Yun Zhi and the others began to eat again, and Baoqing asked: "Yun Xi, I suddenly stopped talking in the middle of my words just now, and I haven't answered my aunt's question yet." ”

"Auntie rest assured, although I can't let my aunt seal the domain in the future, it will not be far from the feudal domain." Yun Xi said.

After listening to Yunxi's words, Baoqing and Xianqin didn't feel anything, but Yunzhi was very surprised. She is eleven years old this year, and she understands some things, the imperial grandfather has definitely not set the rules of the princess to shepherd one side, and Yun Xi does not need to make an exception for Baoqing's unintentional words, which is very strange. But she didn't dare to ask Yun Xi, so she could only wonder in her heart.

After a while, a few people finished their lunch, Yun Xi had nothing to do, and went to take a nap, leaving the excited Yunzhi to pull Baoqing and Xianqin to discuss going to that place first.

When he woke up in the afternoon, Yun Xi stretched his waist, and just wanted Xuanpuyu to come in, he saw Yun Zhi walking in with Baoqing and Xianqin and saying, "Brother Huang is up?" It just so happened that my sister and Aunt Baoqing and Sister Xianqin had discussed, let's go to the Lion Forest in the afternoon, the Lion Forest is in the city, unlike Hanshan Temple and Tiger Hill outside the city; Moreover, Mr. Yunlin, a master of calligraphy and painting in the previous dynasty, once wrote poems and paintings here, which must have a unique flavor. ”

Yun Xi is also indispensable: "In this case, I will go to the Lion Forest in the afternoon." Wang Xi, let Puyu arrange it. ”

Wang Xi was ordered to retreat.

Yun Xi said to Yun Zhi again: "You also hurry up and take the two of them down to prepare." Remember, you must not get out of the car or lift the curtain until the royal brother allows you to get out of the car. ”

"My sister knows." Yun Zhi smiled and took Baoqing and Xianqin down.

Yun Xi was also about to change his clothes and prepare to go out to play, when he saw the young eunuch Huang Lu running in and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Zhongshu has asked to be seen." ”
