Originally, I thought that the emperor's grandfather could easily cut the feudal domain with a single order, but now after listening to Xiao Fan's words, Zhu Yunwen realized that there was such a complicated dilemma behind the cutting of the feudal domain.

Not to mention Zhu Yunwen, he is just a young man, he has no experience in the world, no rich experience, and no emperor's mind and city, his advantage is just that he can read...... "What should I do?" Zhu Yunwen raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Fan, as helpless as a lost child.

Xiao Fan shook his head and said: "The situation has not yet arrived, what can be done, not only to eliminate the threat of the vassal king's power, but also not to act too quickly, resulting in the military and political power falling into the hands of foreign ministers, but if the feudal domain is cut, the power of various places will still have to be handed over to others, this is a dilemma, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, there are many prefectures, and the emperor alone has limited energy, so he can't take care of them one by one." ”

- Unless there is a court body that supervises the military ministers in various places.

Xiao Fan thought of the cabinet scholar system after Yongle in the Ming Dynasty at this moment, in fact, in essence, this system is indeed a good system, effectively avoiding the loss to the country caused by the emperor's autocratic power, after Renxuan, the power of the cabinet scholars has grown wildly, and the monarchy has been effectively controlled, so the Ming generation has been nearly three hundred years, during which there have been many mediocre emperors, there is a Wanli Emperor, who has not been to the court for forty years, and completely ignores state affairs, but the reason is because the emperor wants to set up the person he likes as the prince, And the cabinet scholars disagree, such a monarch stays in the harem every day as an otaku, the Ming Dynasty did not die, and Wanli was the most prosperous and developed period of the Ming Dynasty in those decades, it is really a great irony, what does this mean?

It shows that the cabinet scholar system of the Ming Dynasty is indeed a good system, and there are faintly some rudiments of the Western constitutional monarchy, and under the checks and balances of the cabinet, the role of the emperor is obviously weakened, even if you don't go to court for fifty or sixty years, how should the country develop. Moreover, the emperor granted the cabinet the right to draft votes, but retained the right to approve red, which can fully ensure that the emperor's power will not be completely blurred.

The system is a good system, but it is a pity that it was read crooked by a group of crooked-mouthed monks at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which is not the fault of the system.

Since Prime Minister Hu Weiyong's rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang has grasped the military and political power of the imperial court, and all the big and small things in the state and county in the country, no matter how big or small, are decided by him alone, but the country is so big, how many things will happen every day? Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang once approved more than 4,000 copies of the manuscript in one day, and truly regarded himself as an old scalper of the people.

So in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang had to imitate the Song Dynasty system and set up Huagai Palace, Wuying Palace, Wenhua Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, and East Pavilion Five Palaces of Scholars, but at this time, the bachelors basically had no power, and the official rank was only five grades. To put it simply, the role of the scholars of the Hongwu Dynasty was the emperor's secretary, and they had no decision-making power at all, let alone the courage to reject the emperor's holy decree.

What Xiao Fan is thinking about now is whether to let the cabinet system appear early? The advantage of this system is that there is now an additional group of people to help the emperor manage the world, so that after the reduction of the feudal domain, the appointment of officials in each domain, the administration of the army, and other sensitive matters, the scholars can provide an effective way to supervise them.

However, now Xiao Fan does not dare to mention the cabinet system to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang took several years to clean up the prime minister Hu Weiyong, and abolished the prime minister system that has followed the past dynasties for thousands of years...... It is very likely that Zhu Yuanzhang chopped up piece by piece, hung on the city gate building, and then used as bacon for each minister's family during the New Year...... Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Fan with a sad face, and sighed: "Xiao Shiyu, what should I do?" Will you just let the vassal kings sit big, and when I ascend the throne, they will raise an army against me? ”

Xiao Fan smiled: "You don't have to worry, there is always a way, but this method is not suitable for implementation now......"

- The key is that your grandfather is not dead, if there is no cabinet system to support him after the reduction of the domain, sooner or later he will be raised by other courtiers, but the cabinet system, it is estimated that your grandfather will never agree, and whoever mentions him will be in a hurry.

Xiao Fan said slowly: "Although there is no effective method at present, it is still possible to do preliminary work......

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "What preliminary work?" ”

Xiao Fan stared at Zhu Yunwen and said slowly: "No matter when you cut the domain, the first thing to do now is not to startle the snake." Therefore, while all the kings are in Beijing, you must visit your imperial uncles in the next few days, and your attitude should be respectful, your words should be sincere, and you must be very subtle and friendly to tell them that if you ascend the throne in the future, everything will follow the old system of the Hongwu Dynasty, and it will not change at all, and the vassal kings will guard their own domains, and the Son of Heaven will guard all places, in short, what the Hongwu Dynasty will look like, and what you will still look like after you ascend the throne. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and then said reluctantly: "Do you have to do this?" Those imperial uncles have evil intentions, and I have to go over and laugh with them......"

Xiao Fan patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "I can't bear my daughter-in-law, I can't catch the hooligans......"

"The Parable of Xiao Shi's Reading......"

"Is there depth?"

“…… Awkward! ”

Xiao Fan was still sitting in the side hall, and he was the only one left in the wide hall, and after talking about business, Zhu Yunwen told him mysteriously that he had recently found a good thing, so he couldn't wait to go back to the dormitory to get it, and the good thing had to be shared with good friends.

The tea on the table was cold, and the eunuch stepped forward to change a cup of hot tea for him with great interest, and smiled at Xiao Fan with a bit of flattery, and then retreated respectfully.

At this time, the eunuchs were far from being as arrogant and domineering as the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang deeply learned the lessons of the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country, and strictly ordered the eunuchs not to interfere in politics.

Xiao Fan cocked Erlang's legs, took a sip of hot tea, sighed comfortably, and his eyes unconsciously narrowed into a line, looking very sinister.

Now he seems to have gradually had a bit of official authority that is still too young, that is a kind of power in his hands, a feeling of pride, Jin Yiwei knows, the East Palace attendant, looking at the official position is not big, but the power in his hands is great, with the establishment of thousands of households in Jinyi and Wei one after another, the various branches slowly extend from south to north, all kinds of bright Jinyi hundred households, school captains, and the appearance of the secret agents of Jinyi Wei, Xiao Fan suddenly felt that the eyes of the ministers in the court and the central government looked at him from hostility to strong smiles, It seems that the prestige of Jinyiwei has finally begun to make the ministers jealous, after all, there are not many people in this world who are really not afraid of death, except for Huang Zicheng's old stubbornness.

This is a good phenomenon, indicating that Xiao Fan can start to consider establishing his team of annihilators, anyway, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

It didn't take long for Zhu Yunwen to come out of the dormitory, with a bulging bag in his arms, and he didn't know what treasures were hidden.

He looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he mysteriously took out something from his arms, squeezed his eyebrows and smiled evilly at Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Shiyu, come and take a look, this is a treasure I finally found......"

Xiao Fan looked forward to taking over the things in his hands, what can be called a "baby" by today's grandson Zhu Yunwen must not be ordinary, everyone has seen the gold and silver mountains in the Inner Palace, and the treasure he said probably must at least be a priceless thing...... After taking it carefully, Xiao Fan slowly uncovered the silk cloth wrapped in the "baby", and a book with no cover, no inscription, and strange paper appeared in front of him.

Xiao Fan's expression became more and more solemn, the value of this treasure is probably not low, he has read too many martial arts novels and TV series in his previous life, he knows that the more tattered the book, the higher the value, and the more people rob it, of course, in the end, without exception, it was all obtained by the male protagonist A young man who is hated by the country and the family...... With excitement and reverence, Xiao Fan held his breath, slowly turned the first page, and then ......, "Huh? Don't have clothes on? Xiao Fan's eyes were straight, and there were no words in the book, but he drew a pair of men and women with bare buttocks, doing something that was not ashamed...... Turn another page.

"Huh? Don't have any clothes on? ”

But the posture has changed.

I turned a few pages in a row, and each page was in a different posture without shame.

Xiao Fan turned his head and looked at Zhu Yunwen, who looked a little excited, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of treasure is this?

Could it be some kind of secret martial arts secret book, and you must be able to see the practice routes of the various acupoints on the men and women on the picture in a bright place?

Xiao Fan flattened the book, and then shone it into the sunlight outside the hall, and the result was ...... There is no mystery at all.

"Your Highness, this treasure...... Why do I think it looks like a spring palace diagram? Xiao Fan said with some shame, he felt that he was a typical kind of unpopular character who had eyes and didn't know gold and jade.

Sure enough, Zhu Yunwen's eyes that looked at him when he heard the words were full of contempt, and he pouted and said, "What kind of image, it was originally a Spring Palace map." ”

Xiao Fan showed a rare dumbfounded expression: "............"

Zhu Yunwen lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Do you know how it came about?" ”

Xiao Fan took a closer look at the appearance of the actor on the picture again, and then showed a look of enlightenment: "Do you learn from Brother Guanxi to take selfies?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? This time it was Zhu Yunwen's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Well, when I didn't ask, how did this thing come about?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Li Jinglong gave it to me." What do you think? Have you never seen anything like this? Do you want me to borrow it for a few days? ”

Sure enough, it's that gentleman!

Xiao Fan squinted at the picture of the Spring Palace, which was sketched with a brush and painted with some abstract and even deformed, and said disdainfully: "I haven't seen it?" To be honest, just this tattered in your hand, I don't want to wipe my ass, the dignified grandson is so tasteless and uninformed, do you know who is empty? Know who Akiho Yoshizawa is? Do you know what cavalry is and what infantry is? ”

Zhu Yunwen listened to this series of unintelligible terms, his expression suddenly became awe-inspiring and adoring, and his eyes lit up and pleaded: "Tell me, tell me, what do you mean by what you just said?" Could it be that there is a more wonderful treasure in this world? Xiao waiter, Brother Xiao! Please get me some copies......"

Xiao Fan sighed: "You don't know anything, what are you showing off in front of me with this broken album?" Can't you learn from me to be so humble? ”

Zhu Yunwen already looked like a five-body cast, as pious as a believer worshipping the Bodhisattva in the temple: "Brother Xiao is talented, I am willing to listen to the teachings!" ”

Xiao Fan patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Merry, it needs to be supported by background and confidence, find a pleasing girl on the street and touch her buttocks, that's not called romance, that's called surname disturbance, just like this broken book, don't think that painting a few bad pictures without shame is like digging up a big treasure, in the eyes of real merry people, these are floating clouds...... Hey? Although the paintings are ugly, the poses are quite novel, and there are several that I have never seen in my life...... Let's study and study together. ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly came over with a humble attitude, so the two of them began to study the posture on the Spring Palace map in the side hall attentively, their expressions were very focused, so focused that they didn't notice that someone approached the two of them...... "What are you looking at?" The curious and delicate voice suddenly came in his ears, like a thunderclap on the ground, which frightened the two of them into an exclamation, Xiao Fan couldn't help but shake the hand holding the album, and the album flew to the pretty shadow in front of him just right in the hand with the trembling strength.

As soon as Zhu Yunwen saw the person in front of him, his face turned green, and he said in a panic: "The emperor ...... Sister Huang. ”

Xiao Fan also froze, and subconsciously followed Zhu Yunwen and said, "Sister Huang......"

Zhu Yunwen stomped his feet and glared at him: "My imperial sister! Not yours! What are you calling......"

When the county lord of Jiangdu saw Xiao Fan's hairy appearance, his pretty face suddenly turned red, and then he laughed out loud.

"What were you looking at?" The county lord of Jiangdu blushed, and then opened the album in his hand for some reason.

So, under the frightened gaze of the two, the pretty face of the county lord of Jiangdu first turned white, then gradually turned red, and finally turned crimson...... "Yun Wei!" You...... You're ...... There is such a silvery and nasty thing! I'm going to tell my grandfather to go! The county lord of Jiangdu gritted his teeth, as if he had burned his hands, and slammed the album to the ground.

Xiao Fan saw that his sister was going to train his younger brother, and it was inconvenient for him to talk too much about the royal housework, so he patted Zhu Yunwen on the shoulder and said softly: "Your Highness, the minister will retire first, and you can talk slowly...... Remember to reflect on your mistakes, reform them well, and don't make them again in the future. ”

Zhu Yunwen saw that his sister was going to sue, and Xiao Fan was very unrighteous and planned to leave him, so he was so anxious that he sweated out, and grabbed Xiao Fan's sleeve and said, "Xiao waiter, you ...... You can't go! ”

"Why?"

"Because ......" Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth for a long time, his face was red and his ears were red, and then he looked at his sister's pretty face that was pale with anger, and he was scared for a while, and suddenly said in a hurry: "Because you gave me the album!" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Fan and the county lord of Jiangdu were dumbfounded.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but pull Xiao Fan over, leaned into his ear and said sneakily: "...... Help me carry the black cauldron, otherwise if my sister sues the emperor's grandfather, I will die! ”

"Your Royal Highness, the minister has heard that the Holy Son of Heaven rules the world with filial piety, and the unreasonable monarch makes the loyal ministers carry the black cauldron...... This is not what Renjun did! Xiao Fan was a little sad and indignant, the first time he was wronged like this, and it was the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty who wronged him, I really don't know if I should feel honored...... "Last time in the wine shop, you touched the butt of the wine girl, didn't you also rely on me?" Today, help me carry this time, let's settle the ......" Zhu Yunwen said half-begging and half-threatening.

Xiao Fan became more and more sad and angry, this Zhu Yunwen ...... It seems to be much more shameless than when I first met, what a simple child at the beginning, who brought him badly?

Well, brothers are used to carry each other's black pots.

Xiao Fan nodded suddenly, turned his face to the stunned Jiangdu County Lord, and said tragically: "County Lord, Your Highness is right, the picture album ...... It was indeed brought into the East Palace by the minister! ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled when he heard this, and at the same time glared at Xiao Fan fiercely with a very righteous and condemning gaze.

The county lord of Jiangdu was taken aback: "You brought it in?" ”

"That's right! The minister is guilty, the minister is ...... Ten thousand deaths! Xiao Fan reluctantly pleaded guilty.

The county lord of Jiangdu was even angrier than just now: "You...... Why do you have this ...... Something unsightly! ”

Xiao Fan sighed deeply, and said with a bitter face: "His Royal Highness the County Lord, the minister is still young and has not yet married a wife, as the so-called 'knowing lust and admiring Shaoai', a twenty-year-old adult man, it is really normal to have this kind of thing, I hope His Highness will see ......."

The county lord of Jiangdu said with a sullen face: "Xiao Fan, you are a minister of the imperial court, you should be cautious in everything, discipline yourself with morality, and you shouldn't be so willing to fall if you don't marry a wife, this is what I ...... How does this call your family to see you in the future? ”

Zhu Yunwen is now watching the excitement next to him as if nothing is happening, smacking his mouth when he hears the words, frowning and thinking: What's wrong with my sister today? This is similar to the wife scolding the fishy husband outside, the taste is weird, sour...... "Ah...... Sister Huang, I'll go back to the palace to get something, you slowly lecture you, this Xiao Fan is really too unusual! Sister, don't be polite, scold him well! ”

Zhu Yunwen left Xiao Fan very unrighteously and ran to the back of the hall.

Xiao Fan turned his head to look at Zhu Yunwen's back as he fled, with a resentful expression...... Sou!

Zhu Yunwen ran back quickly, leaned over and picked up the album that was thrown to the ground by the county lord of Jiangdu, and said righteously: "This book is morally corrupt and unsightly, I will take it back to the palace and burn it, and you will continue to ...... it, imperial sister."

Sou!

Zhu Yunwen disappeared.

"Poof!" Xiao Fan couldn't help laughing, and then immediately bowed down, shrugged his shoulders, and coughed in disguise: "Cough, His Royal Highness the County Lord, the minister is guilty, guilty—"
