Chapter 3 Low Profile
"Tell them that this king is tired of carriages and horses, and let them go back without waiting."
"Yes, my lord." Ren Xing responded and walked towards the officials who came to greet Wang Jia, and after a while, the officials who greeted the car gave their hands to the car and left immediately.
The Prince of the Ming Dynasty 'divides the feudal and does not tin soil, and the lords do not come to the people', that is to say, the local military and civilian politics are in charge of the political department and the capital command and envoy department, and the feudal government cannot interfere with the appointment of local military and political officials with divisions.
After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he decreed that the prince should not control civil and military officials, stipulating that palace officials were not allowed to concurrently hold local positions, and started the national policy that the prince could not interfere in politics.
Later, Zhu Di rebelled, and since then, the prince has been 'not allowed to leave the domain without an edict', even if the emperor Lao Tzu died, he could only sacrifice in the domain, the prince seemed to be extremely noble, but in fact it was no different from the pigs raised in captivity.
Zhu Houwei knew very well that these officials at all levels who came to welcome him into the city were actually unwilling to be the boss in their hearts, but the prince didn't come to greet him, and it was not reasonable to talk about the etiquette, so he had to come.
Similarly, Zhu Houwei is also reluctant to deal with the officials of the domain, you must know that the favorite thing of the Ming civil official group is to make small reports, and the bigger things can be infinitely magnified, and the Ming Dynasty will not stop saying that the country is about to die.
Zhu Houwei is not interested in causing himself fishy for nothing, since he is tired of seeing each other, it is naturally better not to see each other.
Of course, Zhu Houwei also knew that even if he was tied up with local officials, any unreliable brother of his would only be treated as if he didn't see it......
When the king drove into the city, it was already sunset, and the people knelt on both sides of the street.
Although the vassal king does not dare to directly intervene in civil affairs, as a prince, whether he is virtuous or not will inevitably be related to the personal safety of the people in the fiefdom, and it can even be said that even if the vassal king is violent and brings harm to the people, he likes to do some evil things that oppress the people, occupy the people's daughters, and occupy the people's land, the local officials will only turn a blind eye, and at most they will participate in the book without pain.
Unless it is to make people angry and resentful, or even provoke a civil uprising, even the emperor is unwilling to bear the reputation of treating the royal family harshly.
Three thousand guards set up camp outside Huzhou City, in the early Ming Dynasty Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to the Zhu family descendants to protect the Zhu family for the concept of the country, his son was divided into various places to garrison, the prince can even have a direct line of three guards almost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, this is also the most primitive capital of Zhu Di's Jingjing battle.
After the success of Jingnan, Zhu Di directly reduced the strength of the prince's guards in order to prevent future generations from playing such a game, and also raised the vassal kings as pigs, so the pitiful troops in the hands of the vassal kings completely became chicken ribs.
Three thousand soldiers and horses are used for a fart, but if they are kept, they will consume the money and food of the palace, so the princes who have no ambition have cut off the guards, leaving three or five hundred elite soldiers to guard the palace.
As for those guards who were laid off, almost all of them became farmers in the royal palace, although they were not garrison soldiers, they were basically no different from garrison soldiers.
During the Zhengde period, King Ning rebelled and gathered tens of thousands of people, but unfortunately the vast majority of these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were ruffians, scoundrels and coerced people, and finally were directly defeated by the rabble gathered by Wang Shouren, it is enough to imagine how scum the combat power of the Ming Dynasty palace guards was.
However, Zhu Houwei had no intention of abolishing the 3,000 guards at all, for him, these 3,000 guards were the seeds, the seeds of his control of the million-strong army more than ten years later, and the guarantee for him to vigorously implement the new policy!
The two long histories went to the official office to settle down, at this time the entire palace was full of lights, but the busy figure only made a very faint sound, if you thought that you could make noise in a grand way, and then disturbed the prince, you deserved to be dragged out and killed.
Zhu Houwei's brows have stretched a lot, in the past twelve years in the capital, as a prince, he is not walking on thin ice, but as a prince, he has such an unsuccessful talent, unreliable and unreliable, and does not seem to be the elder brother of the king, so as long as he shows more intelligence, he may be speculated and studied and staged a battle for succession.
So he learned quail, Zhu Houzhao was unreliable, and he didn't do his job, and finally he didn't change the wheel of history.
But now that he is in the domain, although he still needs to keep a low profile, many things, as long as he does not touch the bottom line of the civil official group, he can let go and do it boldly, as for his heartless brother, he will not care what he does.
"Ren Xing."
"The slave is here." Ren Xing hurriedly responded.
"Tomorrow, set aside a piece of land in the palace to build a few school houses."
"Huh?" Ren Xing was a little unconscious.
"You personally take people to the people to find 500 clever children, whether they are orphans or directly bought, in short, at the age of eight or nine, all of them can be arranged to go to the academy, and then find a dozen or so masters to teach them."
Ren Xing's mouth was as open as a duck's egg, and he was already shocked.
As vassal kings, in order to prevent the royal family from being suspicious and thus causing the disaster of removing the country, these princes will generally do evil and be extravagant!
It can be said that a vassal king who does not cause much trouble to the people can already be regarded as a virtuous king for the people, but his own master still has to recruit hundreds of schoolchildren and invite his master to teach?
What is this trying to do?
"The palace is only afraid of this...... I'm just afraid of ......" Ren Xing looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and he couldn't understand this prince who had taken care of him since he was a child, and now he was only thirteen years old.
"Worried that Li Mengyang will participate in this king?" Zhu Houwei smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this, just do what this king tells you to do."
"The slave obeys." Ren Xing was helpless.
"Go and call Zhou Ning."
"Yes."
Zhou Ning was the commander of the three thousand guards assigned by the imperial court to the Yongwang Mansion from the forbidden army, and he should have been stationed outside the city to wait for the next arrangement of the Yongwang, but Zhu Houwei directly let him enter the city.
After 12 years, there are some things that Zhu Houwei is not willing to wait for even a minute.
"The last general will meet the king!" When Zhou Ning entered the hall, it was like an iron tower pestle in the hall, and the evil aura on his body was even more inadvertently permeated.
This is a real soldier, a fierce general who has traveled in the sea of corpses and blood, but unfortunately he only knows how to fight but does not know how to cater to his wishes, so he has been unwilling in the forbidden army, and he is only a deputy thousand households before he is assigned to King Yong.
Following the vassal king to the domain, who could be willing to do the high-level generals in the forbidden army, the errand was not bitter but the future was ruined, so the errand fell on Zhou Ning's head.
"Commander Zhou can read?"
Zhou Ning's black face flushed and said: "The last general has been poor since he was a child, and he has never been to school...... Only by my own name. ”
"Hongji."
"The slave is here."
Like Ren Xing, Hong Ji is also a eunuch who serves King Yong closely.
