"Dare to ask what the instability in the mouth of the emperor means......"

Guiwang Zhu Changying spoke cautiously, and Zhu Youxiao was also curious about what his younger brother said about the unstable situation.

As for Zhu Youzhen, it is impossible for him to say that the rebellion of the extravagant Chongming Society can only be said to Zhu Changying:

"Right now, Liaodong is approaching step by step, and if nothing happens, a war against Liao will be launched in the coming year."

"This ......" Huiwang Zhu Changrun just wanted to say that it had nothing to do with them, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't say it.

But in the next second, Zhu Youzhen said again: "After pacifying Liaodong, the imperial court only had Yu Yin build a palace for the three uncles, and then he became a vassal." ”

Zhu Youzhen's words made the three of them overjoyed.

Generally speaking, the prince's palace was the responsibility of the local government with fiefdoms, but at present, the Liao affairs are difficult, and the additional salaries are pressed on the people and the local heads, and the officials are very disgusted with building the palace for the vassal king.

If Zhu Youzhen said so, it would mean that they would not have to worry about the affairs of the palace.

As for the so-called Jianyu, in their opinion, it is just Yang Yinglong and his ilk, but it can be pacified in seven or eight years.

In fact, their ideas also represented the views of all classes of scholars and ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

Although they experienced the Battle of Salhu, except for the Liao people in Liaodong, the people of the Ming Dynasty and the three capitals and thirteen provinces did not take Jianyu to heart.

The three kings all said to Zhu Youxiao and the others: "Since this is the case, then the ministers will bow to Long Live in advance." ”

"Hehe, the three uncles don't have to be polite, before the day of the domain, continue to recuperate in the capital, and the annual 10,000 stone will be exchanged for silver and distributed normally."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and Wang Chengen, who was standing at the door, also sent them out of the Miaoqin Palace after the three kings walked out.

"Why didn't my brother let the three kings go to the vassal in advance?"

When the three kings were sent out of the palace, Zhu Youxiao suddenly looked at Zhu Youzhen next to him.

"Brother, do you just want to?" Zhu Youzhen asked rhetorically, and then the two brothers smiled at each other.

Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "I am a big Ming, and the clan has become a problem now. ”

"The imperial examination probably also saw this problem, so he didn't arrange for the three uncles to become vassals after ascending the throne."

"But even if I start to stop sending foreign vassal kings, the thirty vassal kings in the world will continue."

My Healing Game

"Although the imperial court has set a quota of 1.5 million taels, the descendants of the vassal kings will multiply endlessly."

Zhu Youxiao's words can be regarded as standing at the forefront of this era, not only him, but also Wanli and Taichang have also paid attention to the problem of the clan.

Therefore, from the initial quota of 1.5 million taels, to the later release of the imperial examinations for the children of the Zhu royal family, the Ming Dynasty has been changing.

However, such a change is useless, and the most important thing is that the thirty vassal kings are irreversible.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di did not set a system of hereditary reduction of titles, so unless the vassal king had no children and there was no hereditary foreign domain, the feudal title would always exist.

Similar to the King of Qin and the King of Jin, many princes have actually experienced the absence of children from the vassal king, but they inherited the throne of the vassal king from the side line.

At present, the children of the Ming Dynasty are close to 100,000, and according to the lowest Fengguo lieutenant's 200 stone food, at least 20 million stone grain must be issued every year to feed them.

But Wanli sold a good one, that is, a direct quota of 1.5 million taels, no matter how many more sectarian disciples there are in the future, anyway, it is only 1.5 million taels per year, and how to divide it is all discussed by the feudal king and the children of the clan.

In this way, the children of the Zhu family will be unlucky.

This began the tragic period when the children of the Ming Dynasty did not have a beggar, and even lived a miserable period of beggars.

This period has lasted for nearly thirty years.

Because they were the children of the clan, the almshouse did not accept them, and they could only become tenants of the vassal king, and even directly became the only forced beggars in the Ming Dynasty.

I can't do business, I can only take the exam.

Zhu Youzhen is very clear about all this, and he knows that the princes and county kings in various places are living very well, and the generals of Zhenguo, Fuguo, and Fengguo can still have something to eat.

Further down the Lieutenant Zhenguo, Lieutenant Fuguo, and Lieutenant Fengguo can be said to be waiting for death.

However, the number of people in this group is still the largest, and at the moment there are 100,000 children of the clan, and there are at least 90,000 children of these three titles.

Therefore, if a system of hereditary diminishing inheritance can be established, then the clan problem can be easily solved.

But the only problem was that in order to establish a hereditary system of regression, it was necessary to offend the feudal king.

In order to prevent the feudal lords from rebelling, only by maintaining a strong military could the hereditary system be regularized.

But the problem is that at present, the Ming Dynasty can't even solve the problem of more than 200,000 people, let alone solve the problem of the clan.

If the problem of the clan can be solved, the tax collection can be easily collected.

All of this stems from the lack of centralized power, and if we want to strengthen centralized power, we must let the world see the strength of the central government.

So after Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen said to Zhu Youxiao:

"Brother, the Seven Guards and One Battalion of the Yanshan Battalion are expected to be fully recruited in ten days, so that my brother will have more than 40,000 elite men and horses."

"I came to the capital this time, in addition to helping my brother stabilize the situation after the death of the poisonous woman, the second thing is to talk to my brother about it."

Speaking of which, Zhu Youzhen told the good imperial brother in detail about his desire to dismantle the guards and battalions in Miyun, Huairou, Changping, and Tongzhou, and replace the seven guards and one battalion to garrison.

In particular, he reported the grain data of the guards and military camps in the Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di periods, and said the silver money that could be saved after the abolition of the 34 guards, 16 institutes, and 3 battalions.

Saving at least 500,000 taels of military salaries, increasing the income of 1.5 million mu of cultivated land, and harvesting 30 percent of grain per mu will increase grain by about 900,000 stone a year.

However, such a move is actually equivalent to the removal of two-thirds of Jizhen, one of the nine sides, in disguise, leaving only Jizhou and Zunhua in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion.

However, after the removal, not only did it not lose Jiliao's strength, but it strengthened Jiliao's strength.

"Are you sure?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were cloudy, and after weighing for a long time, he reluctantly asked Zhu Youzhen about this question.

Faced with this question, Zhu Youzhen nodded:

"At most, after two months, the seven guards and one battalion will be enough to change sides!"

"Good!" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao also nodded and said:

"In that case, you don't have to worry about the next thing, as long as you get the middle order and directly send troops to take over!"

Zhu Youxiao knew very well that he would replace Jizhen's soldiers and horses with the four guards and one battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the three guards of Yulin, and the cabinet would definitely not agree to this kind of thing.

So what he has to do is very simple, that is, to go directly past the cabinet and use the central decree to cut first and then play.

As long as the soldiers and horses are safely replaced, there will be no soldiers and horses in Jizhen, and the cabinet will have nothing to say.

This method, the former Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao also used a similar method, but he directly asked the Beijing camp and the border army to change defenses, and Zhu Youxiao wanted to directly dismiss the soldiers and horses in Jizhen.

Not only that, among the soldiers and horses that were dismantled, they also included the Tongzhou Guard, Daxingwei and Yanshan Sanwei of the 26th Guard.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao added:

"My brother's idea is good, but it's missing."

"As my brother said before, the twenty-six guards of Shangzhi are the support of my Ming Emperor."

"Since this is the case, the Tongzhou Guard, Daxingwei and Yanshan Sanwei cannot be abolished, and even the Shiqiao Battalion, the Zhenlu Battalion, and the Jianchang Battalion cannot be abolished."

Zhu Youxiao thought farther than Zhu Youzhen, although he didn't understand military affairs, he knew the political methods taught to him by Emperor Wanli.

It is easy to abolish the establishment, but it is difficult to re-establish it.

Retaining the establishment of the three guards of Yanshan, Tongzhou Wei and Daxingwei, this means that Zhu Youjian has more soldiers and horses of five guards and three battalions.

With the addition of seven guards and one battalion, there are twelve guards and four battalions in total, and all of them can have 79,200 soldiers at full strength.

Zhu Youzhen heard the good imperial brother's suggestion, and then realized it:

"What my brother said is right, if that's the case, then the soldiers and horses of Yongping and Jizhen should also be hurryed."

"Why don't you directly send someone to be transferred to the governor of Jiliao, and then use thunderous means to take over the city of Yanbian Pass of the Great Wall, and fill Jizhen with the soldiers and horses of the Seven Guards and One Battalion?"

"Good!" As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words came out, Zhu Youxiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

In this way, in addition to the abolished guards, Jizhen can maintain 86,000 soldiers and horses, and the 7th Guard and 1st Battalion can maintain 42,200.

As long as the establishment of 128,200 soldiers is full, it will be simple to dismantle the Beijing battalion and the 26 guards of Shangzhi.

At that time, it can be carried out directly in accordance with Zhu Youzhen's plan to abolish the Beizhili Guard, and the entire Beizhili will be under Zhu Youxiao's firm control.

Zhu Youxiao did not worry that Zhu Youzhen was hollowing himself out, let alone suspecting that he wanted to usurp the throne.

He still thought the same as he had thought at the beginning, and his younger brother wanted to help him, so he came up with these ideas.

As for Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao, they are not worried, and he is even less worried.

There is history in front of him, and as long as he does not raise troops to rebel, he is basically impossible to die.

Even if it is a rebellion, Fengyang Gao Wall will be imprisoned at most within three suits.

The high wall that imprisons Fengyang is still the younger brother of the current emperor and the only uncle of the future emperor, and the eunuch who forgives Fengyang does not dare to embarrass him.

Looking at it this way, isn't this much stronger than the southeast branch he hung on himself in history?

For Zhu Youzhen, hanging on the southeast branch is his worst ending anyway, and he can accept the rest.

Therefore, after the good imperial brother pointed out that the establishment could not be abolished, he dared to propose to let people sit in the position of the governor of Jiliao.

"The candidate for the governor of Jiliao is up to you......" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Good"

Zhu Youzhen was still in the lake, and he didn't care what Zhu Youxiao said, he said "good" the next moment, and only when he reacted did he say embarrassedly:

"Brother, I have already taken charge of the seven guards and one battalion, and then stuffed in the governor of Jiliao, then I ......"

He wanted to say that his military power was too great, but he was caught by Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were very gentle with him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"My brother was brought up by me, if someone else wants to harm me, I believe it."

"But my brother wants to harm me, I don't believe ......"

Looking at the appearance of the good imperial brother, Zhu Youzhen swallowed his saliva.

"That's right!" Zhu Youxiao said suddenly:

"The ministers of the cabinet are sparse, and they will draft girls early next year."

"No matter how busy you are, you have to come to the capital to help."

"Me? How can I help? Zhu Youzhen was stunned, could it be that he still chose his sister-in-law by himself?

But what if I don't know who Zhang Yan is and miss my sister-in-law?

"You just come here." Zhu Youxiao patted his hand and asked him to relax, but Zhu Youzhen couldn't be relieved.

However, taking advantage of the good royal brother's request to him, he also took the opportunity to say:

"You can come, but I have one thing I want you to agree to, brother."

"Let's hear it." Zhu Youxiao responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen told him about the Yanshan Institute, and by the way, he said that he was going to Guozijian to teach and learn.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not hesitate at all, and shouted directly outside the door:

"Someone!"

"Long live ......" Hearing someone calling, the little eunuch who accompanied him walked to the door, and Zhu Youxiao also ordered:

"Order someone to pass on the message to the country's eunuch, and all the manpower needed by the fifth brother of the emperor will be promised."

"The slave obeys the order" The little eunuch returned the salute honestly, and Zhu Youxiao also turned his head to Zhu Youzhen and smiled when he saw this:

"In addition, I will allocate 100,000 taels of silver from the internal treasury to the fifth brother of the emperor."

"This can't work, it's too ......" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly refused when he heard it.

Although he is short of silver at the moment, it is impossible to gather the wool of the royal brother, after all, the good imperial brother is more short of silver than him.

And now that he has found a way to get rich, he can completely harvest the Mongols with honeycomb coal, and there is no need to let the good royal brother pay for the silver.

But before he could say anything, he was blocked by Zhu Youxiao's frowning serious face.

"Isn't it normal for an older brother to give some pocket money to his younger brother?" Zhu Youxiao is serious about educating Zhu Youzhen.

"There's no talk of taking 100,000 taels as pocket money." Zhu Youzhen couldn't cry or laugh, but Zhu Youxiao told him to shut up in the next sentence.

"Why not? The emperor's grandfather was even more exaggerated to King Lu than I was to your younger brother. ”

Zhu Youxiao's words directly made Zhu Youzhen speechless.

Emperor Wanli allocated 3,869 taels of gold, more than 8,700 taels of green rubies, 100,000 taels of silver, and more than 24,000 coral pearls from his younger brother King Lu just for the wedding.

After the construction of Luwang Mansion, it gave a super high scale of more than 600,000 taels.

The settling-in fee for King Lu is only 300,000 taels, which is even more staggering.

In comparison, Zhu Youxiao's silver to Zhu Youjian is small.

However, looking at Zhu Youzhen's helpless appearance, Zhu Youxiao still smiled and comforted:

"This money is not for my younger brother to spend, but to ask my younger brother to recruit more people, in case the troops and horses are transferred to the towns of Jiliao later, there can also be some people in the Yanshan camp."

His gentle appearance made the little eunuch at the door coo.

I haven't seen it in these years, and I have to comfort others not to feel bad when I give people money.

As for Zhu Youzhen, when he heard this, he felt a lot better, but the adult's soul still made him stubborn:

"Brother, don't worry, when I come next year, I will definitely pay back a lot of silver."

He didn't say a specific amount, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it after he said it, after all, he didn't know if the sales of honeycomb coal would be good.

This weak appearance was clearly seen by Zhu Youxiao, but he didn't expose him, but just patted his hand like a child:

"Okay, good, my brother will definitely be able to, I believe you."

"......" Zhu Youzhen was a little suspicious of life for a while, and Zhu Youxiao's next sentence made him directly break the defense.

Zhu Youxiao said with a serious face:

"If the queen is set next year, when my younger brother is thirteen years old, I will also choose a group of show girls as princesses for my younger brother."

"Uh...... I'm not in a hurry yet. "Zhu Youzhen really can't accept it.

If he remembers correctly, the Ming concubine is generally not older than the emperor and the vassal king, which means that he is likely to have an eleven or twelve-year-old imperial concubine.

To him, this thing is no different from a crime......

"My brother looks like this, is it possible that he is shy?" When Zhu Youxiao saw him like this, he only thought he was shy, and laughed:

"When the time comes, if you can, you can choose the main concubine and the second concubine for your younger brother at one time!"

"Spare me!

！ Zhu Youzhen could only shout aggrievedly, which caused Zhu Youxiao to laugh.

The laughter came out of the Miaoqin Palace and dispersed outward, all of which made people very curious about what the two brothers were talking about and why they were laughing so happily.
