On the cool autumn occasion, more than a dozen vassal kings returned to Beijing.

Whether he wanted it or not, when the vassal king left the domain, he had to hand over the vassal soldiers and be taken over by the young generals of the court. These young generals will be reorganized and turn the feudal army into a garrison.

Naturally, the private soldiers raised by the vassal kings in private will not be handed over. Some of them were mixed with the personal soldiers and brought back to the capital together, and the number of private soldiers was too large to be confused, so they secretly stayed in the domain.

The feudal lords also had their own plans in private. Ming is fighting against the imperial court, that is hitting a stone with an egg. Once you do not obey the will, it is a felony of rebellion. I had to accept the holy decree first, and then make plans after returning to Beijing.

However, there are also vassal kings who are proud of their seniority and veteran troops, and they have the intention of competing with the young emperor. A total of three vassal kings complained of illness and never returned to Beijing.

These three vassal kings are the King of Yingchuan, the King of Hajing, and the King of Zhangde.

King Yingchuan was the most extensive fief among the vassal kings, King Hajing was the richest, and King Zhangde had the most troops in his domain.

The three vassal kings had close contacts and frequent contacts on weekdays. As soon as the will of the feudal domain was cut this time, the three feudal kings invariably called themselves sick, which shows that there was already a "tacit understanding".

And the rest of the vassal kings, such as King Chen Liu, and others, although they received the holy decree and handed over the vassal soldiers to return to the capital, they had the idea of waiting and seeing. Each vassal king had private soldiers, three or five thousand, or one or twenty thousand, or more. It doesn't look like much, but it adds up to a huge force that can shake the government and the opposition.

Once the king of Yingchuan, the king of Hejing, and the king of Zhangde raised troops against the imperial court, it is difficult to determine how the rest of the vassal kings would react.

The capital seems to be prosperous and peaceful, but in fact, the waves are surging, which is frightening.

……

Sheng Hong summoned the king of Fenyang County and the king of An into the palace, and heard the news of the strategy of placing the vassal king.

The king of Fenyang County replied respectfully: "In the past few months, King An has already had a plan, and it has been written into a memora, please take a look at it." ”

King An secretly scolded the king of Fenyang County in his heart for being a slippery old fox, but he did not flinch, and stepped forward to hand over the fold.

The king of Fenyang County saw it in his eyes and felt very relieved.

Young people, even if they are vigorous and sharp, they are not afraid of offending the vassal king...... Now that I think about it, it was a wise decision to let King An come to the Zongren Mansion on an errand with a cheeky face that day.

King An is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, and in terms of titles, he is also above the vassal kings. In everything, King An came forward, and those high-spirited vassal kings suddenly became three points shorter. It's much easier to "settle".

Sheng Hong flipped through the folds, and after reading them, he asked quietly: "King An, your idea is good." I just don't know if it will be implemented smoothly. ”

King An, who has lost a lot of weight, is tall, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes reveal the vigorous vitality of a young man. Wen Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Just give it a try and you'll know." ”

A look of eagerness.

Sheng Hong smiled dumbly, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." After thinking about it, he said, "I will send you some guards from the Royal Forest." When you go to the vassal king's mansion, bring more people with you. ”

King An himself had a thousand personal soldiers.

However, the guards of the Royal Forest are the soldiers of the Son of Heaven. Everywhere I went, it represented Tianwei. With the guards of the royal forest on his side, he can also shock the vassal kings.

King An was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes lit up: "Thank you, brother Huang." With a shy face, he asked, "How many royal forest guards does the imperial brother plan to send to me?" One thousand or two thousand? ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

The king of Fenyang County coughed violently a few times, and glanced at King An again and again.

When he took over the Zongren Mansion, the emperor only sent a hundred imperial forest guards to his side to give him a strong momentum. King An is good, one mouth is 1,200......

The face is really big.

King An looked at the county king of Fenyang with a look of concern: "The county king is coughing so badly, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

King of Fenyang: "......"

The king of Fenyang stopped coughing aggrievedly and squeezed out a smile: "No, no, I was choked with saliva just now." It's good now. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Sheng Hong say: "What King An has done really needs the royal forest guards to deter the vassal king. Then I will send you a thousand guards of the Royal Forest, and you will send them. ”

King An was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

King of Fenyang: "......"

Sure enough, my younger brother is treated better than my cousin.

……

King An was not polite at all, so he went to order a thousand royal forest guards that day, and led people back to King An's mansion in a mighty manner.

Later, when King An went to the vassal king's mansion to "discuss important matters" with the vassal kings, he brought all the thousand royal forest guards with him.

No matter how big the vassal kings were, they couldn't accommodate so many guards in the royal forest. King An "had no choice" and brought two hundred into the palace, and the remaining eight hundred royal forest guards were guarding outside the palace of the vassal king.

This formation, at first glance, looks similar to the destruction of the family.

The vassal kings, who didn't look down on King An very much, quickly restrained most of their arrogance, and they became extremely kind and talkative.

The plan to install the vassal king was also quickly carried out.

An Wang's plan is actually not complicated. According to Sheng Hong's previous plan, all the children and grandchildren of the feudal kings were gathered in one place. Those under the age of 20 will first study and practice martial arts, and those over the age of 20 will be assessed. Those who pass the assessment will be placed on a suitable errand. Those who fail the assessment also go to study and practice martial arts.

The requirements of the assessment are all carried out in accordance with the standards for the completion of the six major academies in Beijing......

The results can be imagined.

There are more than 100 people over the age of 20, and only three have passed the assessment. These three people were personally summoned by the Son of Heaven to be rewarded and arranged to enter the Sixth Department to learn how to be an official errand.

The remaining one hundred and thirty were all sent to the clan academy.

That's right, this is also the initiative of King An.

The children of the clan were born with honor and wealth, and they did not worry about eating and drinking while lying down. This also makes the children of the clan not have a strong atmosphere of studying, but a strong atmosphere of cockfighting and lackeys eating, drinking and having fun.

King An is one of them.

In order to reverse the unhealthy trend of the children of the clan, King An asked the Son of Heaven to set up the clan academy a few months ago. Children of the clan who have passed the age of 10 must enter the clan academy to study.

Due to the large number of children of the clan, and the descendants of the feudal princes who came back from afar to settle, it is naturally not enough to set up only one place in the academy. There are three academies. In terms of age group, 10 to 15 years old are in one place, 15 to 20 years old are in one place, and 20 years old and over 20 years old are in one place.

The princes and grandsons of the feudal lords originally had the intention to hold together, but there were many people studying in the academy. Each academy has set up more than a dozen school houses, and when you enter the college, you have to let it be arranged, and they are basically scattered and placed in different school houses.

In less than a month, the sons and grandsons of the vassal kings were properly arranged, and they went to study at the academy one by one.

It's a pity that someone in his thirties who has already become a grandfather has to go to school, which is really sad for the listeners and tears for the hearers.

Among the vassal kings, King An also got the nickname of "bastard".
