For Wang Gen, Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin, Jin Youzi and others, Zhu Yunwen gave them the same task, that is, before King Qin entered Beijing, he came up with a draft of the reform of the clan system.

Wang Gen and the others were very angry and accepted the order.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were all in the middle of Hongwu, so there have always been some hurdles in the ancestral system of Emperor Hongwu; And Wang Gen and Yang Shiqi are all in the court of the Jianwen Dynasty, and they don't have such a strong knot for the old Hongwu system.

And in their opinion, the vassal king really needs to be rectified.

In the years when they entered the office, they saw with their own eyes that the king of Yan, the king of Zhou, and the king of Chu rebelled successively, and the society was almost in danger of overturning, so for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, they did not oppose the emperor's idea.

After that, Zhu Yunwen successively summoned Jinyiwei, who escorted Zhou Xin to Shanxi to investigate the case, Wan Zicheng, director of the First Bureau of Investigation, and Liu Tie, the commander of Jinyiwei, inquired about some things in detail, and made some arrangements, and did not rest until late at night.

......

Following.

As soon as the morning dawned, the king of Shu, who had not been smooth all night, was woken up by the housekeeper, and someone came to the palace.

Zhu Chun hurriedly got up to freshen up and went to the palace to meet him.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the sky was already bright, and there, Zhu Chun also saw a person, that is, Zhou Xin.

Although he hated it in his heart, on his face, Zhu Chun still greeted him warmly, and Zhou Xin hurriedly returned the salute, and he was also very respectful.

Zhu Yunwen announced an order to them, sent Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, to Xi'an, and brought Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, to Jingshi and locked him up in the Zongren Mansion to study on charges of perverse behavior, reckless behavior, and repeated loss of royal dignity; Zhou Xin was reappointed as a messenger and went to Xi'an on business to try the case of tax evasion by King Qin, and Zhou Xin had the right to interrogate the officials of the royal palace and all the officials involved in the case in Shaanxi.

Zhu Yunwen emphatically emphasized that it is necessary not only to find out the corruption in the Qin Palace, but also to find out the corruption in the Shaanxi Taxation Department.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen also asked them to take care of a person, but when they saw this person, Zhu Chun and Zhou Xin were a little dumbfounded, it turned out to be Zhu Wenkui, the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Wenkui walked out from behind and saluted Zhu Chun and Zhou Xin, and the two hurriedly knelt down, even saying that they didn't dare.

Looking at Zhu Wenkui in front of him, Zhu Yunwen was in a somewhat complicated mood, he was not yet thirty years old, and he already had a twelve-year-old son, this son looked very much like himself, the same plump and handsome, the same elegant and graceful, but some, some were too weak, which made Zhu Yunwen a little dissatisfied.

After the teaching of Huang Zicheng, Zhuo Jing and others, Zhu Wenkui's performance in traditional subjects such as the Four Books and the Five Classics and history is still relatively outstanding, but his performance in mathematics, physics and other subjects is extremely average.

To this end, Zhu Yunwen did not hesitate to dismiss Zhuo Jing's crown prince and concubine, reorganized the Zhan Shifu, and focused on strengthening the courses in mathematics and science.

For the cultivation of the crown prince Zhu Wenkui, Zhu Yunwen spent a lot of effort, because according to the medical conditions of this era, no one dares to guarantee how long he can live; And some of their own changes must be inherited by someone, otherwise they will return to the old road of closing the country and closing the country, and some of the shortcomings of the guards, gentry, and vassal kings will continue to remain, then today's prosperity is just a flash in the pan.

It was yesterday that Zhu Yunwen suddenly thought that it would be good for him to let Zhu Wenkui follow Zhu Chun and Zhou Xin to Shaanxi to see the poverty and luxury of the Qin Palace, and to see the customs and customs of Shaanxi.

"Wen Kui, come here!"

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand to let Zhu Chun and Zhou Xin step back, and then called Zhu Wenkui to his side, and said softly: "Wenkui, I asked you to go to Shaanxi, are you willing to go?" ”

"Yes, Wen Kui should obey the will of his father."

"What if your father doesn't give you the will and lets you choose?"

Zhu Wenkui hesitated, lowered his head and thought for a while, then peeked at his father again, and said timidly: "Father, my son wants to go out to have a look, but, but," Zhu Wenkui wiped his tears and said: "The son is reluctant to have his father, the queen mother and the imperial grandmother!" ”

"Well," Zhu Yunwen patted his son on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wen Kui, you are a filial child, but you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you will inherit my throne in the future, and you are responsible for the well-being of hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and you are also responsible for the inheritance of Chinese civilization, so I am very strict with you, do you understand?" ”

"Well, Erchen understands that his father has already taught Erchen."

"Hehe, it's good that you know." Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "I asked you to play the story of your uncle Taiwang before, do you remember the content of your recital?" ”

"Remember, Erchen thought that Uncle Taiwang's fief was in Whale Prefecture (Hokkaido), but he sent troops to attack the northeast of the Wa Kingdom, which was suspected of expanding the territory, and his father should issue an order to return to the territory, and all the war should be handed over to the two generals Qu Tao and Chu Zheng."

"Well, these words were taught to you by Zhuo Jing and Yang Pu."

"It's not all," Zhu Wenkui hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Erchen thinks that the vassal king cannot lead the army, let alone govern the people, and this should become a permanent system." ”

"Wen Kui," Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his son to say such a sentence, he was silent for a while, and said: "Things are not so simple, the vassal king still has a certain role, especially in the newly attached areas, such as North Korea and the Wa Kingdom, where the people and my Ming language are not incomprehensible, the customs are different, and naturalization is very difficult. ”

"Oh," Zhu Wenkui thought for a while and said, "Erchen knows." ”

"Hehe," Seeing that his son was a little unconvinced, Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "These things need to be experienced slowly." ”

"This time, my father asked you to go to Shaanxi, mainly to let you see, if you don't understand and are interested, you can ask the King of Shu and Zhou Xin for advice, but even if you don't understand, you can only write it down, and you must not interfere with their official affairs, do you understand?"

"Erchen understands!"

Zhu Wenkui stood up and bowed.

"Alright, there you go!"

"Thank you, Father!"

......

The crown prince's departure from Beijing, second only to the emperor's tour, immediately shook the imperial court, and the palace and outside the palace immediately turned the sky upside down.

Many ministers went to the palace to meet with them, opposing the prince's departure from Beijing with Chongling, and the reasons they gave were nothing more than worrying about the prince's safety, worrying about the prince's infirmity, worrying about the water and soil, and some worried that the prince's studies would be affected.

Zhu Yunwen adopted all these opinions.

In order to protect the safety of his son, Zhu Yunwen sent Liu Tie, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to serve as the commander of the guard, guarding the army of 20,000 people, and at the same time issued an order to Song Xuan, the capital of Shaanxi, to ensure the safety of Zhu Wenkui and not make any mistakes.

For the problem of water and soil adaptation, the Queen Mother Lu was very nervous, because when Xingzong Zhu Biao was the governor of Shaanxi, he became ill because of the water and soil adaptation, which indirectly caused his untimely death, so the Queen Mother initially strongly opposed the prince to go out on patrol, after Zhu Yunwen tried her best to persuade her, and finally reluctantly agreed, but she put forward a lot of requirements, such as asking her nephew Lu Ben to accompany the guard, and the hospital to mobilize the imperial doctor to accompany her, and even Zhu Yunwen issued an order to let Shaanxi find a famous doctor and wait for use in Xi'an, Zhu Yunwen of course obeyed them one by one.

Queen Ma Hui was already a little worried, but after listening to the Queen Mother's words, she became even more worried, and she also stuffed some entourage and prepared a lot of delicious food and drink, and so on.

As for worrying about academic problems, Zhu Yunwen packed up Zhan Shifu and followed Zhu Wenkui to Shaanxi.

......

Because of the cumbersomeness, Zhu Chun and Zhou Xin waited for five days before embarking on the road to Shaanxi with the crown prince Zhu Wenkui.

After such a long time, some information has been sent to the hands of Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin......
