Chapter 556: The Troubles of the Three Princes
It was none other than Hu Ye's two biggest headaches, Xianning and Yingxue.
Hu Ye couldn't figure it out, wasn't a woman a possessive animal? Why is Yingxue and Xianning mixed up now, and there is no awkwardness at all, is he really afraid that he will not be able to control it and take Xianning away?
"I said you two are no longer attending classes at the academy, what are you doing here?"
Hu Ye said angrily.
"What? If you are allowed to fool around outside, we are not allowed to skip class? Yingxue stuck out her tongue, which reminded Hu Ye that when she was in Beiping, these girls often didn't go to Li Yangming's class, and Li Yangming let herself tell stories in class to curb this situation.
Now there is no one in the academy to tell stories, and they can't sit still in the academy.
"Xianning, your father sent you to the academy to let you study, not to let you skip class, if you skip class again, be careful that I will sue your father." Hu Ye pointed at Xianning and said.
"Oh, Brother Hu Ye, I just like to listen to your stories, and no one in the academy tells stories, I heard that you are back, so I brought Yingxue to listen to your story, why do you want to sue my father."
Xianning said with a look of grievance, but there was no grievance in his words, and he even skipped class so justifiably, which directly made Hu Ye speechless.
"That's it, the academy is lifeless, either it's sweating alchemy, or making some strange models, or trekking through mountains and rivers to Niutou Mountain to get some gliders, and I'm bored to death." Yingxue also replied.
Hu Ye pouted, which side this girl was on. If you can't get rid of Xianning in a year, you will become a colt by this time next year, and you can only be small when you come.
"It's boring. So what do you have to do to not be bored? Do you want to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in your room? Hu Ye yelled angrily.
"No, it's not boring to listen to your story." Xian Ning smiled, then stroked the hair hanging down his ears, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Hu Ye, haven't you given us the story of Tang Seng and them after they came back from the West Heaven, and Zhu Bajie finally resumed his position as the general of the curtain?" Sun Wukong finally returned to Huaguo Mountain. Or go to heaven to be an official......"
"Hey, Brother Hu Ye, don't run......"
Xianning and Yingxue followed behind Hu Ye. They really wanted to know what was going on.
"Xiaoqiang, stop them." Hu Ye said a word to Xiao Qiang, who was walking towards him, and then entered the house.
Before Xiaoqiang could figure out the situation, he saw Xianning and Yingxue running over. In view of the orders of the eldest brother. Xiaoqiang lay sideways in the aisle. blocked the way.
"Xiaoqiang, get out of the way!"
Yingxue pointed at Xiaoqiang's nose and shouted.
Xiaoqiang knew that this was his future sister-in-law, and he didn't dare to offend, but he didn't dare to keep talking to his eldest brother, so he had to lie there and pretend to be dead, motionless. After all, it was an adult wolf now, and even if it was just lying there, the momentum was terrifying. Especially Xianning, who had not had much contact with Xiaoqiang before. There was already a hint of timidity.
"Xianning, I'll take you to a place, there are a lot of delicious foods there."
Ying Xue saw that Xiaoqiang didn't get out of the way, so she didn't look for Hu Ye anymore, but pulled Xianning and ran to the backyard, because she knew that there were peanuts and bird tea planted by Hu Ye. When she was in Beiping, Yingxue often went to the Nameless Mansion, used the fresh leaves of the bird's raw tea to make spices, and then dug out the tender peanuts and put some salt to cook, which tasted great.
Hearing Yingxue's words, Hu Ye realized that Yingxue, this girl is really not an ordinary person, this is subtly instilling a point of view in Xianning, she is the hostess of this nameless mansion.
"Sure enough, it's a woman's heart."
Hu Ye opened the window and muttered to himself.
……
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, the king of the valley and the king of Min, who had been demoted to the concubine by Zhu Yunwen before, naturally got the fief again, and after Zhu Di's enthronement ceremony, they each returned to the fief, naturally they were grateful to Zhu Di, thinking that his fourth brother was much better than the previous nephew.
As for Zhu Quan, who had helped Zhu Di before, because Zhu Di said that Daning in the north was too difficult, so Zhu Quan's fief should be in Nanchang, right under the nose of Nanjing.
Zhu Quan naturally knew that his fourth brother was not at ease with him, but he didn't have any dissent, and his most powerful Duoyan Sanwei was already under Zhu Di's control. So now he just wants to live the rest of his life in peace.
To be honest, Zhu Di is still good to Zhu Quan, in addition to the change of fiefdom, Zhu Quan's palace guards have also increased, of course, it is impossible to be Duoyan Sanwei. Zhu Quan's Yulu also increased by 1,000 stones, and there were many privileges that other vassal kings did not have, which can be regarded as compensation for Zhu Quan's contribution in the Battle of Jingjing.
As for the kings of Zhou and Xiang, who were already alive and dead, Zhu Di ordered them to be posthumously feuded, and doubled the fiefs of the two of them, giving them both Kaifeng and the vicinity of Jingzhou as fiefs. As for the titles of King Zhou and King Xiang, they naturally let their sons inherit them.
These are the princes who have been in the domain before, as for the princes who did not become a vassal before Zhu Di came, Zhu Di also issued an order, everyone who has reached the age of eighteen must go to the fief to become a vassal.
So King An, King Han, and King Shen all reached the age of becoming vassals, and according to Zhu Di's regulations, they had to go to their respective fiefdoms. However, Zhu Dinian made a contribution to their martyrdom in the Battle of Jingjing, and deliberately let them stay in Nanjing until next year, and after the Spring Festival, they would go to the vassal again.
Therefore, the three of them can still stay in the academy now, enjoying the happy days of the next half year, and they don't know what hardships will await them when they arrive in the fiefdom.
So the three of them have been listless recently, and after knowing that Hu Ye came back, they came to Hu Ye to complain, saying that they didn't want to go to the fiefdom, because their fiefdoms were all in the north, one was Pingliang, one was Kaiyuan, and one was Luzhou.
"I said that a few of you are in the blessing and don't know the blessing, and you went to your own fiefdom, what do you want to do, isn't it better than staying in Nanjing and being restricted everywhere?" Hu Ye peeled the peanut shell and said to the three princes with sad faces in front of him.
"Dean, of course you say that, because your fiefdom is in Taiping Mansion, and it takes less than a day to go back and forth, and you can go back if you want to. Mine is different, far away in Liaoning Kaiyuan, back and forth for a few months, if you take the waterway, encounter any dragon to absorb water, it will be over. Zhu Song said helplessly.
"Who says it's not, my fiefdom is Pingliang, and the north is the territory of the Mongols, where can I suppress it." Zhu Ying was also a little dissatisfied.
"In this way, my fiefdom is the best, Luzhou, Shanxi, not too far from Beiping." Zhu Mo also smiled bitterly, this can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, it is much better than the other two brothers.
"I said you are stupid, do you know why the emperor transferred King Ning to Nanchang?" Hu Ye asked.
"Don't worry, Brother Seventeen has heavy troops in his hands and has the right to speak in Daning, so it is inevitable that there will be the next Jingjing." Zhu Ying said in a low voice.
"Then do you know why the emperor sent you to the frontier with confidence?"
"It's not easy, just because we don't have any skills, and we can't rebel when we go to those places." Zhu Mo muttered.
"Are you pig's heads?" Hu Ye rolled his eyes, "What kind of character is the emperor, and he is afraid that a few of your little rabbit cubs will rebel?" ”
"Why is that?" Zhu Song asked curiously.
"You three should be the first batch of students in the academy, right? How many years have you been in college? Hu Ye asked.
"It's been more than four years, it's almost five years, why is the dean asking this?" Zhu Ying asked.
"Then let me ask you, what are the students of other academies doing after they come out?"
"Participate in the imperial examination and gain fame, this still needs to be asked." Zhu Mo replied loudly.
"That's not the end, the establishment of any academy is to cultivate talents, and our Qingtian Academy is no exception. But you also know that our academy is different from other academies, we not only teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but also architecture, medicine, and even alchemy, so what's the use of learning these? How to use it? Does anyone else know now? Hu Ye asked.
The three of them shook their heads when they heard this, to be honest, Qingtian Academy was a new academy in the Ming Dynasty, although it has been somewhat famous in recent years, but there have not been any powerful figures.
"That's right, as the first batch of people to go out of the academy, you have to make a name for the academy, otherwise in the eyes of others, the academy will be in name only. You know why now, right? Your Majesty, this is to test the teaching mode of the academy, if you can make a career in the fiefdom, the emperor will pay more attention to the academy, and perhaps in the future, a separate set of assessment mechanisms for the academy can be formed, which is exactly what I pursue, it is impossible for you to study in the academy for a lifetime. Hu Ye said bitterly.
"What you said is true?"
Zhu Ying raised his head, according to what Hu Ye said, they seemed to be carrying a heavy responsibility.
"Nonsense, I'll lie?"
Hu Ye rolled his eyes, but looking at the eyes of the three people, he knew that they believed that he would deceive people.
"Okay, in short, you can go to the fiefdom with peace of mind, without the constraints of the emperor, as long as you don't make a big mess, there will be no problems. As for the two of you, the fief is in the border area, I will explain to the emperor that I will send you a Shenji battalion escort, so that you should be at ease, right? ”
Hu Ye said to Zhu Song and Zhu Ying.
"Divine Machine Battalion Escort?"
When Zhu Song and Zhu Ying heard this, they immediately smiled, the Shenji Battalion is Zhu Di's secret weapon, if they can give them one, they will be guaranteed to go to the fiefdom.
"Okay, you go back, there is still half a year, you can prepare well." Hu Ye stood up and said.
"Young master, it's time to eat." At this moment, Tsing Yi walked over.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Hu Ye stopped the three princes.
The three princes shook their heads.
"Then let's stay and eat together, this is a send-off for you in advance." Hu Ye said. (To be continued......)
