On August 30, the seventeenth year of Wucheng in China, Wuchang Phoenix Mountain was unexpectedly lively in the palace, several older princes were recruited back from the army and the place one by one, these brothers who had not seen each other for a long time got together, and in addition to greeting, a feeling of alienation soon filled the hearts of everyone.

In order to break this estrangement, Zheng Anyu, the third son of the emperor, first chatted about the hottest topic recently: "I heard that after those Jiannu captured in Beihai were escorted to the construction site of Shangjing Xinggong, the slave workers who knew the news were crying in the north, and the sadness of their crying was earth-shattering. It's a pity that the ancestors didn't see this scene. ”

For the Qing court only three or two miscellaneous things left, regardless of the civil disturbances, it is really a great joy for the Zheng family, after all, it is still a question of whether the remnants led by Yunyu can struggle out of the cold polar regions, it is almost impossible to shake the rule of Huaxia again, and it is impossible to even harass the northern Xinjiang of China, let alone threaten the wealth and glory of the Zheng family's children.

Looking at Zheng Anyu, whose eyebrows were dancing, Zheng Andi, who had just finished his filial piety, was silent, but Zheng Anfeng, the fourth son of the emperor, asked a little uneasily: "The final fall of Jianyu is good news, but the eldest brother and second brother, do you know what happened when my father suddenly summoned us back from all over the country?" Isn't it about to announce the canonization of the crown prince? ”

When it came to the canonization of the crown prince, even the chattering Zheng Anyang was silent, only the rather embarrassed Zheng Anyang shouted: "Fourth brother, about the prince, my father has already made a decision, so there is no need to mention it again, as for what is the matter of calling you and me back, I really don't know the second brother, so let's be calm and wait for my father to come." ”

Zheng Anfeng's gaze turned to Zheng Andi on the side: "Big brother, don't you know what it's for?" ”

Zheng Andi replied lightly: "I really don't know, and I'm waiting for my father to announce it." ”

The fifth son of the emperor, Zheng Andian, frowned, he had no extravagant hopes for the position of the crown prince, so he only felt very uncomfortable being sandwiched between Zheng Andi and Zheng Anyang, so he stomped his feet with some uneasiness: "What is the father and several elders discussing, and it takes so long?" It won't be until a while. ”

"Fifth brother, be patient." Zheng Anmiao, the seventh son of Zheng Anmiao, the same brother of the emperor, couldn't stand it anymore, so he persuaded him. "The servants are all watching, don't spread it to your father's ears when the time comes, and fall into a frivolous charge."

As he was talking, several chamberlains led a group of people in, and several princes really knew each other at a glance, in order to prepare to inherit Zheng Keshuang's hereditary Duke of Liang's cousin Zheng Anfu, as for the latter is a group of peers in the Zheng clan and a few younger but older ones.

"I've seen your highnesses." Seeing several princes standing in the palace and still in the midst of filial piety, Zheng Anfu did not dare to slack off, and immediately led a group of Zheng children to give a salute, Zheng Andi and others did not dare to give a salute, and responded one after another. "Several highnesses are also here, I don't know why the Holy Lord has invited us and other clans to the Hajj."

Zheng Anyang smiled bitterly: "Just now, I and a few other brothers were also discussing, but now that I see Liang Guogong and your clan relatives coming, I am even more confused." However, if it comes, it will be safe, and the big guy will wait patiently, maybe the father will come soon. ”

As soon as Zheng Anyang said this, a group of Zheng clan relatives looked at each other, even if they had doubts in their hearts, they had to hide them in their hearts, of course, many of them didn't understand what was going on, but they couldn't speak, so they could only pretend to be confused with everyone.

Not long after the children of the clan entered the hall, Zheng Kezang, who was belated, appeared with a huge screen.

"Are you guessing why I summoned you here?" For the younger generations, Zheng Kezhang doesn't need to go around in circles. "Don't think about it, I don't want to tell you, it's not for the sake of witnessing anything."

Zheng Kezang's words directly denied the matter of the canonization of the crown prince, but think about it, what a heavy thing it is to canonize the crown prince, it has to be edicted to the whole country, it has to be arranged in advance, and how can it be privately taught and accepted in the small circle of the clan. However, a doubt is solved, and a new one arises. What did Zheng Kezhang do when he summoned everyone? What's on that big screen?

I heard Zheng Kezhang ask: "Do you all know what an internal domain is?" ”

The children of the Zheng family present were shocked, and they may not know much about anything else, but Zheng Qin, the son of Zheng Bin, who was named the lord of the Tsushima Bo Kingdom, is now a member of the Zheng clan.

Zheng Kezang, who could clearly see the expressions of everyone in the hall, further explained: "During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was a saying that the internal domains of this dynasty were similar to them, they were all princes with the right to govern one party, but the rights of the internal domains were larger and the area was wider, but the imperial court was also somewhat constrained, and it was not as completely self-reliant as the ancient princes???????"

Listening to Zheng Kezang's explanation, a question mark suddenly appeared in the minds of these princes and clans, could it be that Zheng Kezhang was preparing to seal the clan? According to the current system of China, the central government's constraints on the clan and the internal domain are actually not heavy, except for the requirement to implement the laws of China, accept the daily supervision of the Dadu Protectorate and the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the tributary requirements of the three years and five years, the other things are not to be asked, the feudal lord is actually the emperor of the soil in the down, far from being comparable to a cautious lord in the locality, not to mention that because the center encourages colonization, the so-called tributary every three years and one dynasty in five years can be relaxed to one tribute in five years and one dynasty in ten years at the initial stage. In some remote areas, it is even allowed to pay tribute every 10 years or 20 years, so in terms of finances, the pressure is not great. However, the feudal territory must be in a very remote area, far from being as comfortable and prosperous as the mainland, and even the aborigines are rampant, so the development of the fief can be described as a blue wisp of the road, and the hardships during the period are self-evident. And for the ambitious prince, receiving the title of vassal also means losing the qualification to inherit the Huaxia emperor, which is even more unacceptable.

Just when the princes and clans in the hall were thinking about each other, Zheng Kezhang motioned to the chamberlain to lift the cloth covering the screen, and a map was displayed. This is a new "Atlas of the World", and unlike the old version, a huge island is clearly depicted under the East Indies. Of course, this is not entirely the credit of the Xia Junshui Exploration Team, the residual memories of his past life in Zheng Kezang's brain are the key to the map.

"Look, this is the latest appearance of the Sailor," Zheng Kezhang walked to the map and pointed. "I call it Abbot's Big Island, and its island is about one and a half levels." This sentence caused a commotion among the children of the Zheng family, but Zheng Kezhang was in front of him, and no one dared to be too gaffe. "I don't believe it, in the past, there were Yelang who were arrogant, and I don't want anyone in my Zheng clan to sit in the well and watch the sky today."

The meaning of this sentence of reprimand was very strict, Zheng Andi and Zheng Anyang had to take a group of Zheng clan relatives to kneel down and ask Zheng Kezhang for guilt: "(Son) ministers don't dare, please (father) Holy Teachings." ”

"I don't want to blame you, no matter what, you will be the backbone of my Zheng clan in the future, you need to know that the world is big, the countries are vying for power, you can't just take a chance when the country is strong, and it is good to be in politics with the mentality of walking on thin ice." After the lesson, Zheng Kezhang waved his hand. "Get up." Only then did the Zheng family dare to get up from the ground, and then they listened to Zheng Kezang continue. "The abbot is unimaginable, there are plains and deserts, swamps and mountains, wastelands, valleys, salt lakes, and grasslands on the island, and it can be said that most of the terrain that can be found in China can be found, and there are many minerals such as gold, iron, and coal, which can be described as a treasure land." Speaking of which, Zheng Kezhang swept away the many juniors present. "I intend to divide this place and make it a central barrier for a hundred years, how about you?" Seeing that some of the people wanted to speak, Zheng Kezhang stopped. "Don't be in a hurry to tell me now, go back and think about it, if you don't go, I won't be reluctant, the original treatment is inconvenient, if you want to go in the future, you can also ask me for it, but then I'm afraid that the good place has been occupied."

Zheng Kezhang said that when it came to this, he naturally needed someone to come out to help, so Zheng Anxuan, the cousin of Zheng Anfu, the son of Liang Guogong, came out and knelt down to Zheng Kezang: "Uncle Qiqi, the ministers and nephews have already thought about it and are willing to go to the abbot." ”

Zheng Anxuan is a concubine, and according to Huaxia's "Jue Law", he can only be demoted to the third rank to become a county marquis.

Some people will say that the county marquis is not bad, but there are thousands of hereditary tax-exempt fields, so why go to the wild land?

The reason is also simple, although Zheng Anfu also has a starting point that ordinary people dream of, but he is a weak person in Liang Guogong's lineage, he was bullied by Zheng Anfu since he was a child, and he is not willing to be pressed by Zheng Anfu for the rest of his life, so Zheng Kezhang sent someone to take care of him in advance, and after weighing the pros and cons, he was naturally willing to seize this rare opportunity.

As soon as Zheng Anxuan took the lead, many of the concubines of the various prefectures who were also persuaded in advance by Zheng Kezang also expressed their attitudes, and even some unaware people were willing to give up their current titles and Yitian and go to the abbot to run it.

Although he understood what was going on, Zheng Kezhang still nodded approvingly at them, but cold water was poured on his mouth: "Of course it's good to want to go, but I can sue you, don't expect the imperial court to give you much help, if you need to prepare yourself, what I can do for you is to send the criminals from all over the country to the abbot and arrange for the two banks of the four seas and the sea to give you some loans, and then there is the ship that transports people and goods, and I can arrange for the sailor to provide necessary help." ”

Saying this, those impulsive and uninformed people hesitated again, and in this regard, Zheng Kezang, who had already judged, said very generously: "I have said it, so that you don't have to rush to reply, go back and think about it carefully before going back." ”

Zheng Kezhang thought for a while and gave a time limit: "I will give you three months to think about it, whether to go or not, and then tell sΓΉ me." Okay, Baoguan and Shengguan, a few of you will stay, and the rest will disperse. ”

A group of Zheng clan relatives hurriedly knelt down and retreated, and soon, only a dozen princes remained in the palace to listen to the training.
