Zhengde smiled: "Ah Fei, don't be surprised, I made him recognize you as his father-in-law, you won't refuse, right?" You, the king of the Americas, are the one-sided kings of Yu Zhen's level, so he should see you. ”

A strange feeling surged in Duan Fei's heart, he stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yaofei up, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please ...... up."

The prince seemed to have the same feeling, the two looked at each other speechlessly, Zhengde smiled and said: "When the prince didn't see Aiqing, he didn't ask about you all day long, why can't he speak now?" Then go back to the palace and say, come on, go back to the palace! ”

Of course, now Wei Guogong is already the king of the Americas, but the news has not yet reached the city, so everyone still calls Wei Guogong's name along the street.

Because I came to see the monkeys...... There are too many people to see Wei Guogong, so although there is a Taurus Wei to open the way, Zhengde's dragon is still moving forward very slowly, Zhengde can't help but sigh: "Duan Aiqing, I really envy you, look at this meeting, I haven't even seen it when I have a 40th birthday!" ”

If it were someone else, this would be a curse, but Duan Fei smiled indifferently and said: "The emperor has won the award, and Weichen has made a little merit, but the real glory is you, the emperor!" ”

Zhengde laughed and said, "I haven't listened to Aiqing for a long time, I'm so happy......"

Finally returned to the palace, Duan Fei led Su Rong and the others to see the emperor and queen again, and Princess Yongfu couldn't help but throw herself into Zhengde's arms and cried whining.

Zhengde quipped: "Imperial sister, did Duan Fei bully you?" I'll help you punish him, you say, how are you going to punish him? Is it skinning and bone-splitting or ......"

Princess Yongfu hurriedly raised her head and said, "Brother Huang, can you say something auspicious?" I was almost scared to death by you last time, but he was very kind to me, so I don't want you to mess with my ideas. ”

Zhengde laughed, and Queen Xia smiled: "As soon as Prince Duan came back, the emperor's mouth couldn't close with a smile, so let's do it, Prince Duan will accompany the emperor to talk, and the palace will also accompany the princess and the prince's ladies to chat, Emperor, haven't you always regretted that no one played with you?" These little brothers and sisters will be left to you to take care of. ”

Zhu Yaofei said happily: "Everyone come with me, I'll take you to a fun place!" ”

Duan Yu, as the elder brother, took his younger brothers and sisters to say goodbye after getting Duan Fei's jaw signal, and the queen also took Su Rong and them away, and the originally lively hall suddenly left only Zhengde and Duan Fei, Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, now that the situation in the Americas is in a critical period, you designed to get the ministers back, don't you just want to say a few words to the ministers?" Now that there is no one around, can the emperor tell me why? ”

Zhengde said with a smile: "You are still really anxious, okay, Duan Aiqing, you have done a good job in the Americas, unexpectedly good, but ...... I'm almost forty-five, and although I'm in good health now, I'm really worried......"

Duan Fei said: "As long as the emperor takes care of his body according to the method Weichen said, if nothing happens, the emperor's days will still be long." ”

Zhengde shook his head and said, "Maybe I can live to be eighty years old, but I heard you say that people start to be confused as soon as they turn fifty...... Alas, I am very worried that I will become mediocre, rather than being mediocre and misleading the country, it is better to hand over the big responsibility to Yaofei earlier, this kid is really very similar to you, smart and bold, if he is allowed to contact the government earlier, maybe Daming will have a different world, Aiqing, do you think right? ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, it is appropriate to cultivate the prince since childhood, as long as you let the prince look at it before you review it, and see what he thinks, slowly, the prince will be able to handle state affairs." ”

Zhengde coughed and said, "I started teaching him a few years ago, and the three scholars were full of praise for the prince's ability, and I felt that it was time to let him be in power. ”

Duan Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please think twice, the crown prince is only ten years old, doesn't the emperor think that he is still a little younger?" ”

Zhengde glanced at Duan Fei and said, "So...... Isn't that just the right thing to do with a constitutional monarchy? Most of the government affairs were handed over to the cabinet to deal with. ”

Duan Fei was dumbfounded, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are in a hurry to pass on the throne to the crown prince, don't you want to take advantage of your good health and throw away your burden to play everywhere?" ”

Zhengde smiled, patted Duan Fei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I know my heart, only Duan Aiqing is alone, Duan Aiqing, I have handed over many government affairs to the cabinet over the years, in fact, it doesn't matter if I am not in the capital now, if I pass the throne to the crown prince, I can go to the Americas with Aiqing, what does Aiqing think of my plan?" ”

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty...... The constitutional monarchy is not meant to be an excuse for you to run away, and even if you want to abdicate, the crown prince is too young, in a few years...... Maybe it's okay, but it's not going to work now. ”

Zhengde frowned and said, "Really not? ”

Duan Fei shook his head firmly, Zhengde lay on the dragon chair dejectedly, completely out of energy, he smiled bitterly: "Duan Aiqing, although Daming is my world, but I don't know what scenery Lingnan has, let alone what South and America look like, just looking at Daming's territory is getting bigger and bigger, I really want to exchange with Aiqing, Aiqing, you stay in the capital, I go to conquer the world, Aiqing, can you understand my thoughts?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, Wechen understands the emperor's thoughts, but now the emperor wants to let go suddenly, if the emperor really doesn't care about the imperial power, Wechen can think of a way for the emperor to get the emperor out of this cage after five years, and when the emperor wants to go, the ministers will personally accompany the emperor." ”

Zhengde frowned and said, "It will take five years, but it's not bad, Aiqing said let's see, what should I do?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, please hand over the crown prince to Wechen to take away, Wechen will take him to Japan to see what Japan's constitutional monarchy looks like, and then take him to the Americas to see what the Americas under Wechen's jurisdiction are like, and after five years, Wechen will let him come back to replace the emperor, within these five years, the emperor must make up his mind to reform internal affairs, the first thing to change is the royal family, there are too many people in the world surnamed Zhu who are lazy and lazy to eat imperial food, and there are too many people who keep fighting and not withdrawing the domain, and it is impossible for the emperor to completely let go of the capital!" ”

Zhengde opened his mouth wide, Duan Fei said it was simple, but it was difficult to do, there were hundreds of thousands of royal family members surnamed Zhu in the world, and it was the surname with the fastest population growth in more than a hundred years.

But at this time and at that time, no prince has the strength to rebel now, and the hundreds of thousands of maggots surnamed Zhu don't have to worry, Xiucai has not been able to rebel for ten years, and those lazy guys want to rebel? It's almost the same as looking for death, the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect are over, who else dares to take the opportunity to make trouble? Now there are 100,000 musketeers in the Ming Dynasty! Even if the victorious King of America is not there, the famous generals such as Shen Xiyi and Han Xing can pinch the people who try to rebel to death like ants!

Duan Fei wants Zhengde to cut the feudal domain, and vigorously weaken the power of the royal family, for the sake of the future, otherwise Zhengde went to the Americas after passing the throne to the crown prince, and then the lord and the young country are suspicious, these feudal kings may take the opportunity to make trouble, cutting the feudal domain is only the first step, and then Zhengde wants to slowly send those meritorious heroes in the court home to retire, and replace them with a batch of new people, so that the government can be handed over to the young emperor to take over, and it is impossible to completely deprive the young emperor of power......

Duan Fei racked his brains to give Zhengde an idea, Zhengde wrote it down carefully, and finally, Zhengde looked at Duan Fei and said: "Duan Aiqing, I asked you to come back, in fact, there is one more thing to discuss with you, I don't know how recently, the queen and Liu Guifei have been pregnant one after another, what do you think I should do?" ”

Duan Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "This is a good thing, the emperor, as long as the two mothers give birth to a dragon son, the current prince, the emperor will still return it to Weichen." ”

Zhengde looked at Duan Fei for a while, shook his head and said: "Many people rack their brains to find fault with you and say that you want to seek power and usurp the country, Duan Aiqing, are you really not interested in my position at all?" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen is self-aware, the emperor's position is not easy to sit, once you sit up, you can't get down, you can't even get out of the capital, how can you be happy now, even if Fei'er, Weichen doesn't want him to really become the emperor, Weichen just wants them to be happy, do whatever they like, don't be cold and hungry...... Therefore, if the emperor has a real dragon son, he will return Fei'er to Weichen. ”

Zhengde sighed: "I really should ask such a guy to stir up trouble to listen to Aiqing's words, alas...... Why is it that I am so miserable, without a brother, and destined to sit in this position? Duan Aiqing, God is destined to suffer from Fei'er, and I can't help it, in fact, I am teasing you, and none of my concubines are ......pregnant."

Duan Fei was silent, in fact, he had already guessed that Zhengde had cultivated his self-cultivation for so long, and he had practiced the double cultivation magic skills taught by Duan Fei, and he had no heirs for so many years, it seemed that the Zhu family's vein was still going to be broken......

Duan Fei stayed in the capital for ten days, and then inspected the world on the order of Zhengde, and the prince accompanied him to patrol the country, everyone knows that Zhengde handed over the prince to Duan Fei for him to cultivate well, and the emperor really trusts the king of America!

Duan Fei with his wife and children and the prince, the first stop is to go north, taking advantage of the summer, Duan Fei inspected the Tatar Province, the province of Watts, the process of military and civilian immigration to the north of the Ming Dynasty is accelerating, the rich mines on the Siberian steppes have become the main promoter, with the process of opening up, the various ethnic groups and the Han people in the land of Liaodong are increasingly integrated, the previous scenes of life and death have been very rare, the Ming Dynasty is expanding in the direction of the Bering Strait, but it takes a certain amount of time, the road to the Bering Strait has been half built.
