The palace Zhaoren Palace, single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, covered with glazed tiles, three rooms in front of the palace, because Zhu Yuanzhang likes the granddaughter of the chief of the long house, the county lord of Jiangdu, so the Zhaoren Hall is the sleeping palace of the county lord of Jiangdu, close to the Qianqing Palace on the west side, so that the county lord of Jiangdu often greets and comforts the old man.

Outside the Zhaoren Palace, the pavilion hall is scattered, there is a landscape pond on the east side of the palace, the pond is surrounded by rockery, it becomes a courtyard by itself, it is quite a farmer's leisure, the county lord of Jiangdu is quiet since childhood, he is not accustomed to contact with others, Zhu Yuanzhang loves him, he will follow her request, and the Zhaoren Palace will be built into a more alternative reading courtyard in the palace.

At this moment, the county lord of Jiangdu was sitting in the pavilion by the pond with a lonely expression, staring at the sparkling water with a stupid expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When spring comes and flowers bloom, it is the time when everything wakes up and is full of vitality, but why is it that the noble person is still a little resentful of the spring boudoir?

Gong Ying was sad and tired of hearing it, and Liang Yan was jealous.

For a woman who has already fallen in love, the loneliness of the deep palace is her worst enemy.

Originally, I was helpless to get used to such a child, the county lord of Jiangdu is a quiet and gentle woman, from birth to the present, she has hardly done anything out of the ordinary, Zhu Yuanzhang's strict family education for the children of the Zhu family does not allow her to have any deviant behavior, she is like a docile and harmless little sheep, silently accepting the mercy of fate, reading poetry and books since childhood, tuning the piano, learning girl red, silently waiting for the emperor's grandfather to set her a marriage date, and then put on a phoenix crown and a veil, according to the royal etiquette, married Geng Xuan, the son of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, Then the husband and the child, live this life without wind and waves.

Everything is so logical, isn't this how women have come from generation to generation?

But...... Chen Ying'er's words were like opening a magic box, and the devil in the box jumped out of it, occupying her heart in an instant, and an inexplicable crazy thought could not be suppressed in her heart and grew...... I've touched his ...... There, my woman's morality has been tainted, how can I marry Geng Xuan again? The only person I can marry in this world is probably only that Xiao Fan, right?

Xiao Fan...... What kind of person is he?

Thinking of the front of Wuying Palace, the elegant and indifferent smile on the young man's face, the gentleman-like demeanor, and the calm and calm demeanor, people couldn't help but feel warm and comfortable in their hearts, and their hearts were pounding.

Heard...... He hasn't married a lady yet, so is it possible for me to ...... with him The county lord of Jiangdu sighed quietly, and casually picked a blooming peach blossom on a peach tree next to her, she bit her lower lip, and suddenly there was a little more shame in her quiet eyes, and her black eyes glanced around with a little weakness, and after making sure that there was no one around, she carefully picked off the pink petals of the peach blossoms in her hand one by one with her fingers, and muttered in a low voice: "Go, go, go, don't go......"

The last petal was plucked, and the result was: no.

The county lord of Jiangdu froze for a moment, and then his little face fell, and his pretty face suddenly became extremely disappointed.

Women are born to cheat, not only with others, but also with themselves, and those who are as gentle as the county lord are no exception.

The county lord of Jiangdu bit his lower lip again, snorted lightly, and said to himself: "I didn't count just now, let's do it again." ”

After that, she seemed to be embarrassed by her cheating behavior, so she covered her mouth and laughed lowly, and then plucked another peach blossom and began to chant silently: "Go, go, go, go......"

The results were revealed, or not going.

The county lord of Jiangdu angrily threw the remnants in his hand into the pond, then stood up suddenly, and snorted: "Why can't you go?" Ying'er said that a woman's happiness can be fought for by herself! I can't go away! Again...... Hum! Besides, I'm going to see the emperor's brother, what does it have to do with him? I...... Just by the way, I just asked the imperial brother how his courtiers are characteristic, and if you care about the imperial brother as a sister, can't you? ”

After some self-deceptive explanations, the county lord of Jiangdu gritted his silver teeth and finally made up his mind.

"Moyu, Moyu! Dead Nizi, where did she run away? ”

"Your Royal Highness, the slave is here." The maid Moyu turned out from the flowers lightly and saluted.

The pretty face of the county lord of Jiangdu has returned to a quiet appearance, and he said coldly: "Go, prepare to drive the carriage and horses, I want to go to the East Palace...... Look at the royal brother. ”

"Yes."

In the sparkling pond, several pink peach petals are slowly swaying with the slight ripples, and the peach blossoms in the pond water are red...... The side hall of the East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen was wearing a bright yellow casual clothes and was waiting for Xiao Fan.

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to suspend the proposal of cutting the domain, which made Zhu Yunwen a little uneasy, he was afraid that the cutting of the domain would be put on hold from now on, and after Zhu Yuanzhang was a hundred years later, if this problem was solved by him, it would be a hundred times more troublesome than now.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the father of the kings, and he has the courage to give an order, and all the kings obey.

But what is he after Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne? He is just the nephew of the kings, what confidence does he have to give orders to the imperial uncles? Will the imperial uncles listen to him? If the emperor's grandfather returns to the sky, the kings are strong and strong, and the towns are all over the world, it is difficult to guarantee that they will sincerely serve him as the master, especially after Zhu Di, the king of Ziyan, was so disrespectful to him in the imperial garden a few years ago, Zhu Yunwen was more vigilant against the vassal king.

Cut the domain! Be sure to cut the domain! The vassal king's ills are too great, and it must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise if he is the emperor in the future, he will be controlled everywhere, and then the king will not be the king, the ministers will not be the ministers, the royal majesty will be lost in his hands, and the courtiers and princes can bully him, how can he continue to be the emperor?

In the distance, Xiao Fan's figure appeared, strolling leisurely among the flowers outside the side hall with a gentle smile on his face, and his dark eyes were looking at Zhu Yunwen with a smile.

Zhu Yunwen looked overjoyed, and he didn't care about waiting for Xiao Fan to enter the hall, but instead swooped out by himself, and walked out as soon as he grabbed Xiao Fan's leave.

"Xiao waits, let's go, accompany me into the palace to see the emperor's grandfather......"

"Your Highness, why are you entering the palace if you have nothing to do?"

Zhu Yunwen was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "What else can you do?" Persuade the emperor's grandfather to make up his mind to cut the domain! You were right yesterday, it's not difficult to cut the domain, but the difficult thing is whether the emperor's grandfather can make up his mind, let's go and persuade him together......"

Xiao Fan shook his hand and said, "I want to go to you, I won't go......"

"Why?" Zhu Yunwen asked in amazement.

"The time has not come, and it is in vain to go."

"Why hasn't the time come? Now that all the kings are in Beijing, just a word from the emperor's grandfather to order the kings not to leave Beijing and revoke their respective domains on their own, isn't it okay? They are in the Beijing Division, and there are no soldiers and horses to accompany them, who dares to disobey? This is clearly the best time! ”

"When I say timing, I don't mean the vassal king, but His Majesty can't make up his mind now."

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Let's go and persuade the emperor's grandfather, can't he make up his mind?" ”

Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "Do you think Your Majesty is the kind of person who can be persuaded casually?" ”

Zhu Yunwen said angrily: "How do you know if you don't try?" You...... You are my friend, and you are a waiter in the East Palace, your heart is not directed towards me, it is too boring! ”

Xiao Fan gradually lost his patience, and frowned: "What are you talking about?" Am I not directed towards you? Now the question is, none of us can persuade Your Majesty, and if you talk too much, it will make Your Majesty disgusted, do you need to make things worse? ”

"I'm the grandson of my grandfather, how could he be disgusted with me? Anyway, you just don't want to help me......"

"The kings are still the sons of His Majesty, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, what do you tell Your Majesty to do?" Xiao Fan pressed the fire qi dao.

"I don't care! I am the most beloved by the imperial grandfather, and he will definitely favor me, so we will make up my mind as soon as we persuade him......"

"You ......" Xiao Fan couldn't help but be angry, how could this guy look like a child with the surname Ren? It doesn't make sense at all.

"Smack!"

The familiar force splitting Huashan fell on the top of Zhu Yunwen's head.

Zhu Yunwen covered his forehead, his eyes blinked twice, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Do you know what it feels like to be beaten?" Xiao Fan was angry, and his face was much more pleasant.

Zhu Yunwen looked at him aggrievedly, pursed his lips and nodded.

"Now we can sit down calmly and talk?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded tearfully.

Xiao Fan smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, all the big and small things in the world can't get rid of the word 'reason', what can't be discussed?" Let's convince people with reason. ”

Zhu Yun pursed his mouth, wiped his tears, and led Xiao Fan into the side hall aggrievedly.

"I know that I have to convince people with reason, so you still beat me......"

"The minister is stupid, and it is very annoying to be reasonable, so he likes to do it."

“…… Don't hit anyone next time! ”

“…… If you are obedient, you will not fight. ”

“…………”

Inside the side hall.

After the eunuch served the tea, he quietly retreated.

Xiao Fan looked left and right and said, "You are in a hurry to enter the palace to persuade Your Majesty, it shouldn't be Mr. Huang who plucked you, right?" ”

Zhu Yunwen rolled his eyes and said, "What is Mr. Huang's pouting?" Am I not assertive? People will grow up, and of course they can make their own decisions when they grow up......"

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "As soon as I got the idea, I rushed to the palace in a hurry, why couldn't I see that you were such an anxious surname before?" Hehe, don't hide it from me, I know Mr. Huang is hiding here......"

Saying that, Xiao Fan stood up, looked around in the side hall, and said loudly: "Mr. Huang, come out, don't hide, is there a reason in the world for a gentleman to hide from a student......

Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he stomped his feet and said, "Why don't you believe me?" ”

Xiao Fan ignored him, and searched around, and after searching, he didn't even let go of the tables and chairs in the hall, and after looking around, he still didn't find any trace of Huang Zicheng.

Zhu Yunwen looked at him coldly and said, "Are you dead now?" Mr. Huang is a great Confucian in the world, how could he play such a trick of hiding and not seeing people with his students? ”

Xiao Fan nodded, and finally gave up looking: "Okay, I believe it, you are an assertive person, and you will not be used as a gun by others......"

Zhu Yunwen was affirmed by Xiao Fan, and immediately smiled.

Then, Xiao Fan suddenly reached out and took the tea cup on the table next to him, and after opening the lid of the cup, he shouted at the steaming cup with a solemn face: "Mr. Huang! Don't hide! I see you, hide in this cup, come out! Beware of drowning! ”

Zhu Yunwen's face darkened, wiping sweat: "............"

After some laughter, the two returned to their senses.

Zhu Yunwen looked puzzled and said, "Xiao Shiyu, what do you mean by timing?" ”

Xiao Fan said: "I think Your Majesty may not want to cut the domain, at least not under his rule." ”

Zhu Yunwen was surprised: "Why? The emperor's grandfather now knows all the disadvantages of the vassal king's strategy, why is he still unwilling to cut the feudal domain? ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "The matter of cutting the feudal domain is related to the Daming Society, and it is not as simple as you imagined." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The vassal king guards the borders of all parts of the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, holds the military and political power of a place, and integrates military power and power, so it can be said that he is the highest ruler in the domain, why did His Majesty give the vassal king so much power in the first place?"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said: "In order to control the world more thoroughly, imitate Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and use the feudal appointment to strengthen the imperial court's control over the local area......"

Xiao Fan nodded and said: "Yes, unlike the emperors of previous dynasties, before His Majesty's uprising, he was not a wealthy family, not a family of gate valves, he started from the reckless rivers and lakes, there is no vast network, no solid family foundation, and no far-reaching support of the intertwined layers of various gates, after laying down the country, if he wants to have trust in those courtiers who rely on reading to get ahead and become officials, it is absolutely impossible, especially after Hu Weiyong's rebellion, he is even more worried about his courtiers, but a huge country, There is always a need for a few people he can trust to help him govern, although the affairs of the world, no matter how big or small, are determined by the imperial court, and the emperor is supreme, but it is impossible for him to take care of such a large country with his own energy, what should I do at this time? Among the subjects of the world, who is most worthy of His Majesty's trust? ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, and he said, "Of course, it is the vassal king, my imperial uncles, and the sons of the imperial grandfather." ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Yes, the implementation of the vassal king's policy was really forced by the situation at that time, except for the descendants of the Zhu family, who else can Your Majesty trust?" Only when the military and political power of various places is handed over to the vassal king surnamed Zhu, and then His Majesty controls and orders them as the emperor and father, His Majesty will feel relieved, everyone in this world can rebel, but there is no reason for a son to rebel against his father, right? This is the necessary surname for the implementation of the policy of the vassal king, and at the height of His Majesty's Spring and Autumn Period, this policy was correct, and it cannot be said that he did it wrong. ”

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a long time and said, "But now ......"

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "But not now, there is no national policy that will always be effective in this world, and the change and abolition of the national policy are all determined by the situation in the world at that time. Now that Your Majesty is old and old, I am afraid that it will not take a few years to say something taboo...... Therefore, the benefits of the vassal king's policy gradually faded, and the disadvantages were already emerging, and it gradually appeared hidden worries, and even became a major disaster, so it was imperative to cut the feudal domain. ”

"Then why do you say the timing is not right?"

Xiao Fan sighed: "The time has indeed not come!" Your Highness, I'm afraid that I can really only wait for you to take the throne and then slowly figure it out. ”

Zhu Yunwen hesitated: "Yes...... The emperor's grandfather didn't want to hurt the father-son relationship with the emperor's uncles, so he hesitated? ”

Xiao Fan shook his head and said: "It is one thing to not want to hurt the relationship between father and son, but Your Majesty is a very calm and rational person, and what he thinks about is more than that." I ask you, if the vassal kings are removed, how do you ask Your Majesty to arrange for them? ”

Zhu Yunwen blurted out: "Of course, they are ordered to remove the military and political powers, and return their families to Beijing to live......

Xiao Fan stared at him and said lightly: "What about the original fief of the vassal king?" Who will govern? There is a possibility that the vassal king will not be a courtier, and those courtiers with foreign surnames are not more likely? The courtiers of all dynasties seized the power of the emperor and abolished the emperor and respected himself, what did they do? Dong Zhuo and Cao Ying in the Three Kingdoms, Li Yuan and Taiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiaoyi in the Song Dynasty were added to the yellow robe...... How dare they act so boldly? ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were straight, and he hung his head and said dejectedly: "Of course they have heavy troops, and they take advantage of the emperor's weakness and strength to usurp the throne......"

"There are precedents of so many rebel ministers supporting the army and usurping the throne in previous dynasties, do you think Your Majesty will rest assured that the courtiers with foreign surnames will hold the military power?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head gloomily.

"Therefore, His Majesty is reluctant to cut the domain, in fact, because he is even more worried about the courtiers with foreign surnames, to put it mildly but very realistically, if you are not good at being the emperor in the future, and you are usurped by one of your imperial uncles, but at least you can guarantee that this country is still surnamed Zhu, speaking of which, this is still Zhu Mingxia, but if he is usurped by a courtier with a foreign surname, where is Zhu Mingxia? His Majesty has worked hard to build this country, and he definitely doesn't want to see that the Ming Dynasty is just a short-lived dynasty, so he is unwilling to cut the domain, which is his deep meaning......"

Zhu Yunwen was shocked, looked up at Xiao Fan, and said in amazement: "You mean ......?"

Xiao Fan raised his hand to stop: "Don't say ......"

Looking at Zhu Yunwen's thoughtful appearance, Xiao Fan said leisurely: "Your Majesty is now in a dilemma, the disadvantages of the vassal king's policy are obvious, but after the reduction of the domain, the foreign ministers control the military and political power in various places, and its disadvantages are even more serious, if you are Your Majesty, what can you do?" ”

"I ......" Zhu Yunwen stammered.

"Your Majesty actually hopes that after you ascend the throne in the future, you will slowly find a good way to solve this matter safely and gently, the ambition of the vassal king is related to strength, with strength, their ambition will swell, and if the strength is weak, they will naturally be honest, so what you have to do in the future is to weaken their strength, for example, King Yan will be stronger in the future, there will inevitably be different intentions, there must be some planning, it is impossible to be his vassal king in An'an, you just imagine, if he has the ability to usurp the throne, but in the end he did not usurp, The result? ”

What will happen? Zhu Yunwen racked his brains to think, he could usurp but not usurp, and the result was naturally ...... Weakened by the imperial court? Maybe...... Halfway to the premature? Maybe...... Self-reliant?

"What will be the result?" Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Fan looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was dazed, and said calmly: "...... As a result, he will be despised by other vassal kings. ”

Zhu Yunwen: "............"
