The whole world is not the king's land.

Even if the king gives the domain, the vassal king must also submit to the Son of Heaven. Taxes were paid to the imperial court every year. The appointment of officials in the feudal domain also had to be officially dispatched by the imperial court.

In the previous dynasty, the Son of Heaven was too suspicious and left all the vassal kings in the capital to "live for a long time", and did not allow the vassal kings to become vassals. It's just that they are all dragons and phoenixes, and no one is willing to be under house arrest like this. Later, the feudal kings were jointly involved in rebellion, and the court was in turmoil. Soon there was a change of dynasty.

Since the establishment of the Great Qi Dynasty, it has learned the lessons of the previous dynasties, and most of them have divided remote places for the princes, far away from the capital. After the vassal kings became vassals, they were not allowed to leave the domain without permission. Every ten years, the vassal kings were allowed to enter Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven.

It also avoided the feudal king's rebellion in Beijing to the greatest extent.

After the establishment of the prince, the matter of sealing the king is logical. The fief will not be too rich and good, and all the princes also know it.

After all, the world will belong to the prince in the future. If Emperor Jianwen gave the rich and prosperous land to other sons, where would he put the three princes who were the crown princes?

It's just that such a division is still a big surprise to the princes.

"The people of Ludi are fierce, and many homeless people are chaotic and banditry, which is not peaceful. It is not easy for the second prince, King Lu, to be stable. Fuzhou is close to the sea, fertile land is scarce, and it is difficult for the people to eat food. After the fifth prince became the king of Fujian, he also had a headache. ”

In the inner house of the Seven Princes' Mansion, Xie Mingxi's indifferent voice came out.

Xie Mingxi has been eight months pregnant, and her belly is bulging. The whole person is also plump, not looking at the stomach but only the face, the skin is smooth and delicate, white and transparent, like the best mutton fat jade.

Sheng Hong, who had just received the holy decree, listened with great interest, and opened his mouth to ask: "How is Shudi?" ”

Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong: "Shu is mountainous and forested, inconvenient to enter and exit, and the climate is humid and cold. ”

In short, it's not a good place.

Sheng Hong was not disappointed at all, and said with a smile: "How is it compared to Ludi and Fuzhou?" ”

Xie Mingxi said casually: "I have never been out of the capital, and I have never seen these places with my own eyes. They all hear from other people's mouths, and where do they know how. However, I remember that there was often a famine in Ludi, a flood in Fujian, and an occasional dragon in Shu. Food and clothing are not worried, and the court has not provided disaster relief. ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

In this way, Shu Di is already good.

Sheng Hong sighed and sighed: "It turns out that happiness is all comparable. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled dumbly.

Isn't it? Compared with the second prince and the fifth prince, Sheng Hong, the king of Shu, can barely get by.

It was King Ning of the Four Princes......

Gee! Lu Ge's old hand is really dark!

"The land of Ningxia is mostly inhabited by various barbarian tribes." Xie Mingxi curled the corners of his lips with a smile: "These barbarians don't understand the language, they don't understand culture, and they never obey the control of the imperial court. ”

"The governor sent by the imperial court is nothing. Those who have opened their eyes and closed their eyes to serve for five years are already lucky. There have been three governors, all of whom died in office. The exact cause of death is unknown. The court's rhetoric to the outside world was all due to illness. In fact, both of them were assassinated by local barbarians. The other was due to the climate and soil adaptation, and died of serious illness. ”

"Over the years, the imperial court has never crowned King Ning. Unexpectedly, my father issued a decree to crown the four princes as King Ning. ”

Happiness is indeed comparable.

There is no remotest domain, only more remote. There is no worst, only worse.

When the cabinet asked for the decree, it was indeed mentioned that a feudal domain should be established in Ningxia. It's just that no one expected that Emperor Jianwen would crown the four princes as King Ning.

There is obviously the "credit" of Lu Ge Lao!

A hint of mockery flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "The 'heart' of the Fourth Emperor Brother to Lu Chi, Elder Lu Ge must already know. Assassinated Lin Weiwei's mother and son again, Lu Ge Lao Yan could not be angry! ”

"This time for the princes to seal the king's fiefdom, Lu Ge Lao secretly united with Zhao Ge Lao Fang Ge Lao, and even pulled Yan Ge Lao over. Li Ge Lao was unable to support himself in the DPRK and China, so he had to retreat. ”

"Now the decree has been given, and our brothers have received it. No matter how angry and hateful the four emperor brothers are, they have to enter the palace to thank them. ”

Isn't it?

Xie Mingxi did not hide his good mood of gloating, and smiled leisurely: "I will also accompany you into the palace today to thank you." ”

You have to see this kind of good show with your own eyes!

Sheng Hong was a little unhappy, and reached out to stroke her extraordinarily round belly: "You have been pregnant for eight months, and your body is bulky, so it is inconvenient to enter the palace. I entered the palace alone to thank you. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled: "No one knows better than me how my own body is. Just looking at the excitement will only make me feel good and good for my body and mind. You don't have to worry. ”

Sheng Hong reluctantly agreed, and repeatedly advised: "After entering the palace, you just have to watch the show, and you don't have to worry about everything." ”

Xie Mingxi nodded with a smile.

……

Of course, it is not only Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi who entered the palace to thank him.

The second prince and his wife, and the fifth prince and his wife also came together.

"The emperor is taking a lunch break," Gonggong Lu smiled with a smile on his face: "Please also ask Your Royal Highness and the princess to wait in the side hall." ”

In broad daylight, go to the Jiaofang Hall to "take a lunch break"?

Sheng Hong frowned invisibly, and quickly glanced at Xie Mingxi.

Emperor Jianwen's indulgence in lust is no longer news. No one dared to say anything about taking pills in secret, but they had already vaguely heard about it in private.

People who are nearly fifty years old, do not cultivate themselves, and are so indulgent, do you really think that you are a "true dragon son"?

It was only a matter of time before the dragon's body was hollowed out.

I don't know when I will fall down......

And they all went into the side hall and waited.

The second prince is not good at words, but the second princess Zhao Changqing is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and sleek, and she said hello to the fifth prince and the seventh prince quite affectionately: "...... Fujian is close to the sea and has a vast terrain. Shu is mountainous and has the best scenery. The fifth emperor brother and the seventh emperor brother went to the domain in the future, and it was a different taste compared with Jingzhong. ”

The fifth prince was not very satisfied with Fujian, but his face did not show it, and he opened his mouth and smiled: "Cheng Second Emperor's sister-in-law Ji Yan." ”

In comparison, Sheng Hong's smile was much brighter: "Yes! I'm looking forward to it now. ”

Leave the capital as soon as possible. Staying away from the center of power means staying away from endless strife and intrigue.

Yin Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Xie Mingxi and chuckled in a low voice: "Why did you enter the palace with such a big belly?" ”

Xie Mingxi was calm: "Enter the palace with His Highness to thank you." ”

If you want to watch a good show, just say it! Not at all.

Yin Xiaoxiao grimaced at Xie Mingxi.

Xie Mingxi blinked.

The two tacitly smiled knowingly.

Within a moment, the protagonist of today's show, His Royal Highness the Four Princes, entered the Jiaofang Hall with the four princesses.
