Su Tiancheng had long known the news of Zhu Xianxuan's arrival in the capital, but before meeting the emperor and the queen, he couldn't meet Zhu Xianxuan, this was the rule.

When Zhu Xianxuan appeared in the mansion, Zhu Xianxin was very happy, and there were even tears in her eyes.

Zhu Xianxuan's spirit is very good, and after seeing Su Tiancheng, he is happy.

Zhu Xianxuan is still chubby, and he looks like he hasn't grown up, but Su Tiancheng doesn't underestimate his brother-in-law, and he is very powerful.

The two entered the study, Wang Dazhi stood at the door of the study, and no one was allowed to enter.

Su Tiancheng's impression of the Ming Dynasty vassal king is very bad, throughout the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king left, except for the rebellion, is a useless fool, there is almost no other impression, although the description of history, some exaggeration, but the emperor strictly restricted the freedom of action of the vassal king, almost deprived the vassal king of all the power, which also led to the vassal king can not play any role, especially since the beginning of the Wanli period, the status of the vassal king, day by day.

If he hadn't married Zhu Xianxin, Su Tiancheng wouldn't have cared about the situation of the vassal king at all.

Now it's different, he and Zhu Xianxuan are grasshoppers on a rope, if something happens, no one can escape, and the problem is bigger than others.

Therefore, there are some things that Su Tiancheng must explain to Zhu Xianxuan how to be a qualified vassal king.

It looks simple, but it's not simple.

Su Tiancheng's so-called reform, the first thing to face is the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, if they can't move the interests of the vassal kings, many things can't be done.

In this regard, some of the experiences of the Qing Dynasty are worth learning from. Nothing that cannot be done is too much.

For example, the vassal king does not have any political rights, and becomes the target of bullying by the imperial cabinet, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which is a little wrong. Blind suppression is certainly not the best way.

The feudal king's family had too many, and it had become a great burden to the imperial court, and this burden was not reflected in the appropriation of money, but in the annexation of land and the frenzied accumulation of wealth. To put it mildly, the vassal king has become the bloodsampire of the Ming Dynasty, and it is precisely because of the example of the vassal king that there are more and more bloodsuckers in the Ming Dynasty. The idea that the imperial court hid the wealth of the people, as well as the so-called practical practice of those scholars and doctors in the imperial court who were sympathetic to the people's feelings, made the imperial court poorer and poorer, and the economy collapsed, and the dynasty was naturally going to end.

If you want to make a change, you must first touch the interests of these vassal kings.

That's the biggest piece of the puzzle.

Zhu Xianxuan is Su Tiancheng's brother-in-law, if Su Tiancheng wants to start reform slowly, he will first have to face his brother-in-law. It's not something that comes right away, but it's always something that needs to be faced.

Su Tiancheng would not be stupid enough to directly ask Zhu Xianxuan for anything. Sometimes preaching doesn't do much, but rather alienates the relationship.

Zhu Xianxuan's face has always been smiling, and his spirit is also very good, it seems that during this time, he has lived a very comfortable life.

"Kun Yuan. You are really remarkable, with the Jiangning battalion, you have exterminated more than 50,000 rogues, and the imperial court has sent so many troops to exterminate the rogues all day long. I haven't seen much success, do you know the way, Shanxi has long been spread, saying that there is a big hero, your name is a household name. ”

"Lord Wang, this is also a coincidence, relying on the many soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion."

"Between you and me, don't be modest, hehe, you have made meritorious contributions, I will follow the light, many officials in Taiyuan Mansion have found ways to make friends, they are optimistic about you, and they know that your future is limitless."

Su Tiancheng was a little surprised, this was what he was most worried about, the most taboo thing for the emperor was his friends, and he strictly ordered his relatives not to make friends with foreign ministers, if Zhu Xianxuan was hot-headed for a while, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Su Tiancheng's face, Zhu Xianxuan smiled and spoke.

"You don't have to worry, I can still grasp this aspect, no matter what the official is, I won't make friends, but the money they send, it's disrespectful."

Su Tiancheng was a little stunned, he couldn't say anything about this, although it didn't feel very good, but you couldn't ask the prince to be honest and honest, people had no power in their hands, and it was impossible to do bad things, and those officials who wanted to make friends would not be stupid enough to come to the door in person, at most, they would instruct their subordinates to visit.

After thinking for a while, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"Lord Wang, the family doesn't talk to each other, no matter what, the prince still has to pay more attention, Shanxi is still a place where rogue activities are rampant, and the personnel in the prince's mansion are very complicated, who knows what things they will cause in the Dao."

"Hehe, don't worry, I know in my heart, I've been used to it for so many years."

"That's good, by the way, the eldest brother is doing things in the palace chief Shi Si, how is he doing."

"Yes, yes, in the end, it's a family, I'm still thinking about it, asking Lord Qian to play a fold and promote Su Tianhao."

"This is a bit inappropriate, after all, the eldest brother has not been in office for a long time, it is better to stabilize it, I think that the eldest brother can't do things in the palace governor Shi Si for a long time, it is best to find a suitable time to go to Fuzhou County to do things, although the conditions may be difficult, but it is good for the prince and himself."

Zhu Xianxuan looked at Su Tiancheng and spoke for a while.

"Kun Yuan, you say this, I also tell the truth, Lord Qian himself is not bad, but his son-in-law Qian Kaitai is a little bad, Su Tianhao used to be very close to Qian Kaitai, I took the opportunity to remind it, and asked Su Tianhao to pay attention, in the mansion, there are so many eyeliner, people just fabricate a story, it is unbearable, besides, your fame is so big, people noticed me at the same time, they also noticed Su Tianhao."

Hearing Zhu Xianxuan say these words, Su Tianxuan felt that something was wrong.

"Has the prince heard about something, you might as well say it directly."

"Also, these things, you still need to know the Tao, Su Tianhao doesn't have anything, and the Changshi Division doesn't have many specific things, it won't attract everyone's attention, as long as you do things honestly, there won't be any trouble, but Su Tianran, I heard some rumors, and I also asked Su Tianhao, you may need to pay attention."

Su Tiancheng's expression was a little serious, he had judged Su Tiantian's affairs.

"Su Tianran is doing things in Pingyang Mansion, it just so happens that the Liukou in Shanxi is rampant, he is doing things in the military room, and he will inevitably face the matter of exterminating the Liukou, many times, the imperial army has been concentrated in Pingyang Fucheng, and a lot of related coordination things have been done. In order to deal with the Liukou, Fuzhou County has a lot of local militia groups, and they often have to participate in the eradication of the Liukou. ”

Su Tiancheng's face was expressionless, it seemed that there were some things, and his prediction was accurate.

"I once asked Su Tianhao, Su Tianran is in Pingyang Mansion City, exterminating the Liukou, and has a small achievement, I thought, you are so powerful, Su Tianran can make contributions, it is not an uncommon thing, but Su Tianhao is very worried, I have said a few times that Su Tianran's approach is not good, it is not appropriate, so I asked carefully."

"There are a lot of homeless people in the area of Pingyang Prefecture, including those from Shaanxi and Henan, these homeless people, after all, are not rogues, if they are also regarded as rogues, they really shouldn't be."

Zhu Xianxuan said it very tactfully, but the meaning was actually clear.

Su Tiancheng spoke with a cold face.

"The prince doesn't have to take care of Su Tianran's face, it's nothing more than killing good and risking merit, the second brother's ability, I am clear, when I received the letter from home, I was a little suspicious, the second brother has never experienced a battle, just came to Pingyang Mansion to do things, he can vigorously exterminate the Liukou, and he can be promoted, if you look for this, the Liukou is vulnerable, where can he be arrogant for so many years, the second brother's move is too irrational, you are welcome, I am crazy."

"This, this, Kun Yuan, it's a bit too heavy to say that."

"Lord Wang, you and I are one, one is prosperous, one is lost, the so-called tree is a big move, I think, there must be someone staring at you, me and the Su family, the more times like this, the more cautious the second brother is, I can't imagine that he will do such things for some small profits, if someone makes a fuss about it, who knows what the situation is."

"Kun Yuan, there is some truth to your worries, but this is not a big deal, there are many things to kill good and take credit, who doesn't know the way."

Su Tiancheng sighed softly.

"Lord, this thing of killing good and risking merit is indeed somewhat common, such things are frequent, and it is also one of the reasons why the rogue continues to grow, the court has begun to move, ready to completely exterminate the rogue Kou, if there is always a thing of killing the good and taking the merit, the people are forced to be helpless, join the team of the rogue Kou, the court exterminates the rogue Kou, always can not completely achieve victory, look back, always have to be held responsible, when the time comes, someone impeached Su Tiantian, you and I should deal with it."

"The military discipline of the Jiangning battalion is strict, and it is never allowed to harass the people, as the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion, I require all soldiers to love the people, and there is no crime in the autumn, but my second brother is doing things that kill good people and make meritorious deeds, and he can also be promoted and rewarded, such a thing, it is rumored that it is going out, how can I deal with it."

"The Jiangning camp is about to start exterminating the Liukou, if in this process, if you happen to encounter the matter of killing the good and risking the merits, you must be severely punished, Shanxi is a place where the Liukou are rampant, in case you really see the second brother killing the good and taking the merits, do I deal with it or not, don't talk about the officials of Fuzhou County, I'm afraid the adults in the court are all watching with wide eyes."

The smile on Zhu Xianxuan's face also disappeared, he didn't expect it to be so far-reaching, but what Su Tiancheng said was very clear, if such a situation really happened, it would definitely be troublesome. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
