Lao Zhu's words were sonorous and powerful.

It not only reflects the absolute authority of the elders of his old Zhu family, but also makes some feudal kings with evil intentions dispel bad thoughts.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the old man's momentum, he can get rid of two or three more sons!

Zhu Yunwen was secretly relieved when he saw Lao Zhu say this, and he was glad that he had bet on the right treasure.

In the past year, he has not been idle, he has been secretly accumulating strength, but he is not sure whether Lao Zhu is alive or not, so he does not dare to act rashly.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that he doesn't want to be the first bird.

After all, there are second, fourth, and fifth uncles in front of him, so why can't it be his turn!

Zhu Di also shouted luck in his heart, he has been fighting with Li Fangyuan, the lord of the Northern Dynasty for the past year, and has already formed a strategic alliance, just waiting for a big change in the DPRK to incite the vassal kings of the world to rebel!

Now seeing that the old man's body is still so strong, he has temporarily stopped this idea.

As the old man said, as long as he is alive, the sky of the Ming Dynasty will not be overturned!

In fact, Zhu Yunxi also saw this point, so he dared to stay away from the capital when his foothold was not stable at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.

He believes that Lao Zhu can guard this home for him!

And as long as he is given a year or two to open up the entire Western Regions and connect them together, then the territory of the Ming Dynasty will reach an unprecedented height, and the population under its rule will surpass that of any previous dynasty!

However, there is a premise for this matter, that is, the tacit understanding between him and Lao Zhu.

He didn't doubt Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu didn't doubt him.

Absolute trust between two generations of kings!

Otherwise, if there is a little bit of missing, the entire Ming will fall into chaos.

After Lao Zhu made the final decision, only the sound of panting was left in the entire hall, and no one dared to speak.

It was a long time before a lazy voice sounded.

"Father, the son thinks it's better to call Yun Xi back as soon as possible."

As soon as Zhu Li said this, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, only Zhu Li could speak against Lao Zhu's dragon power.

Lao Zhu did not get angry after listening to Zhu Li's words, but frowned and thought about it.

Zhu Li said to himself.

"Father, the sons and daughters know that the affairs of the Western Regions are important, but no matter how important the Western Regions are, after all, they are outside the world, and they do not belong to our Ming Dynasty."

"Even if we knock it down, not only will we not be able to collect any taxes, but we will have to send people to guard it."

"There are clouds in the Tao, and if the husband does not fight, the world can not compete with it!"

"Let's guard our Kyushu and all directions, just wait for all the countries to come to the court, why bother to go on an expedition to fight the land on the edge of the sky?"

As soon as Zhu Li's words came out, they were immediately unanimously recognized by everyone in the hall.

In fact, the first vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were mostly honest people, and they were more brutal, extravagant, greedy, and absurd.

In addition to these, he really has no obsession with the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the rules of the old Zhu family's succession to the throne have long been dead, and no matter how the wheel is, it can only be reincarnated in the few sons and grandsons born in the line of Queen Ma.

Therefore, the best destination for these low-ranking shrimps is to be vassal kings for a lifetime, guard this post for Daming, and squat in this pit for their children and grandchildren.

Based on the above considerations, they most hope that the Ming Dynasty will last forever, so that they can live a stable life.

If it weren't for the rumors that Zhu Yunxi would change their titles and drive them all to the land of Huawai to be wild kings, they would also be willing to support Zhu Yunxi as emperor.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi never gave them a promise from beginning to end, which made them uneasy, for fear that they would receive the holy decree to build a domain thousands of miles away when they woke up.

Therefore, after hearing Zhu Li say what was in their hearts, they immediately responded one by one.

"Father, the third brother is right!"

"Our Daming is big enough, let's not talk about it far away, let's just talk about the boundary of Yunnan, until now there is still a group of Tusi stewards, and there is nothing to do with our Daming official mansion!"

"And the Usizang Division, that place is big enough, how many people are there in the Ming Dynasty?"

"We still have to establish a capital division there and send people to garrison it, isn't this a pure big grudge!"

Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan saw that their brothers were energetic, and they also stood up and coaxed.

"Father, the royal brothers are right!"

"The fiefdom of Erchen, Guangning Prefecture, is far enough, not to mention our Ming people, you may not even be able to see a savage if you walk hundreds of miles!"

"As for the seventeenth brother's Daning, that place is even more desolate and remote, with only tens of thousands of Jianzhou savages!"

Before Zhu Quan could think about what to say, Zhu Zhi finished talking for him, and finally could only say with a pout.

"Brother Fifteen is right!"

"Erchen also thinks it's almost enough, if we continue to fight, we will have no one to guard the Ming Dynasty, why do you fight down?"

If it was just one or two sons who said this, Lao Zhu Tie would definitely put on the momentum of everyone to suppress it.

But now that all the princes say so, Lao Zhu is still a little hesitant.

In addition, he was not very attached to the territory, otherwise he would not have demarcated the scope of the country that was not to be conquered at the beginning of the country.

Old Zhu thought again and again, and asked tentatively.

"What do you want us to do?"

As soon as Lao Zhu said this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Father is relieved!

The father is also dissatisfied with that grandson!

Although the people in the hall were very excited, no one dared to speak, but they just gestured to Zhu Li with their eyes, wanting this Zongzheng to speak for them.

Zhu Li glared at the brothers around him with disgust, and then arched his hand towards Lao Zhu.

"Father!"

"The sons and daughters are not forcing their father to make a decision, nor are they forcing Yunxi's child to give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, they just want him to slow down his steps, and when Daming really can't afford to support so many people, can't he expand his territory?"

As soon as Zhu Li's words came out, the vassal kings below suddenly became echo worms.

"Yes, yes!"

"The third brother is right, we don't mean to persecute our father and Yunxi, we just want to slow down ......"

"Slow ......"

Lao Zhu listened to everyone's words and nodded seriously.

"We'll think about this matter carefully, you guys eat first, and go back quickly after eating!"

"Yes!"

Lao Zhu symbolically drank a glass of water and wine and got up and left the table, accompanied by Qin Deshun and a group of guards, and went to the top of the Hongwu Gate, looking at the Geng Geng Xinghe and the lights of thousands of homes under the city wall.

Lao Zhu was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked.

"Qin Deshun, what do you think about this?"

When Qin Deshun heard this, his heart was instantaneous, and he immediately made the best choice for himself.

"Your Majesty, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, this is an iron law engraved by you at the gate of the palace!"

"The slave and maid are just eunuchs, how dare they discuss national affairs, Your Majesty is going to torture the slave and maid to death!"

Lao Zhu nodded approvingly when he heard this.

"You're self-aware!"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he secretly said that he had picked up a small life.

In fact, Qin Deshun really thought about this matter a lot, and Lao Zhu just subconsciously asked, and did not test him.

Qin Deshun got up from the ground in shock and gave a tentative suggestion.

"Your Majesty, since you are hesitant, why don't you ask Yu Qunxian?"

"According to the slave maid, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are all well-educated people who are loyal to the country, and they must have their own opinions on this matter!"

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly said that he was also confused, and he didn't even think of this stubble.

"Xinguo Gong is still in the capital, right?"

"Yes!"

"According to the report of the little cubs of Dongchang, Xin Guogong purchased land next to the Huimin Medical Center and built a very beautiful house, and he will not go back to his hometown in Fengyang all year round!"

Lao Zhu smiled slightly when he heard this, he could even think of the face of this old brother in his house, he must have licked his face and ran to the Huimin Medical Center every day, tossing Zhang Shenxian and other imperial doctors in the medical hall to diagnose his pulse.

"Swing and go to the Gonggong Mansion!"

Lao Zhu hasn't used the honor guard for a long time, firstly, he doesn't like to put on music, and secondly, he is the emperor, and if he has nothing to do, wouldn't it make the world laugh?

But going to the Xinguo Mansion is different from going to other places, and the driving is out of respect for the Xinguo Gong.

After Lao Zhu gave the order, Qin Deshun hurriedly arranged for Jinyiwei to go to the Xinguo Mansion to deliver a message, so that the Xinguo Mansion could prepare to meet him.

Then Qin Deshun informed the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to assist in blocking the streets and prohibiting idle people from going to the streets.

When he was busy with this set, Lao Zhu's frame set off for the Xinguo Mansion.

Xinguo Gong Tanghe was hiding at home eating roast duck, and suddenly heard Lao Zhu arrive, so startled that he hurriedly stuffed the roast duck under the table, and then beckoned the family and servants to be busy.

Tang He's mansion is not much, and almost all of his old wife, son and other family members are in Fengyang's hometown, and only he takes a few concubines to recuperate in the capital.

He put on such a single-handed attitude that the imperial history of the DPRK and China could not impeach him, so he could only let him stay in the capital.

Tang He saw that the Jinyi guard was stationed, and the honor guard of a water stopped at the door, and suddenly smiled with peach blossoms on his face.

Today is Lao Zhu's birthday, he ignored the princes in the palace and ran to his own mansion, which gave him a lot of face!

As soon as Lao Zhu got out of the carriage, he saw Tang He running towards him in a wheelchair.

Lao Zhu hurriedly said when he saw this posture.

"Someone!"

"Stop this guy and don't let him crash our carriage!"

Tang He laughed happily when he heard this.

"Superior, you're lifting us, can our old arms and legs still break you?"

Lao Zhu also calmly stepped out of the carriage at this time, came to Tang He, and naturally pushed Tang He into the house.

"Brother, we're so worried, we just want to talk to someone!"

Tang He originally wanted to be modest and say something polite about not daring to push His Majesty's cart. But after hearing Lao Zhu say this, Tang He's head suddenly started.

Today is the Longevity Day, the day when all the vassal kings of the world enter Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, and the upper position is not accompanied by a son of his own family, and he comes to chat with him, but what is the big thing?

However, now that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and all industries are thriving, what is there to worry about?

As soon as Xin Guogong pondered this, he found that his wheelchair was vacated and was carried up the steps by several brocade guards.

"Superior, you can't help it, you're also a lot old, don't tire out your dragon body!"

Lao Zhu was holding the wheelchair behind him, and he smiled.

"It's okay!"

"Our bodies are stiff, and there are still a few concubines waiting to give birth over there in the Mid-Levels Palace!"

Tang He immediately gave a thumbs up when he heard this.

"The top is amazing!"

Lao Zhu laughed proudly when he heard this, and when he saw that he had reached the flat ground again, he pushed the brocade guard aside again, and walked in his mansion by himself.

"It's the first time we've come to your mansion, so take us around?"

Tang He smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"This is Wei Chen taking you around, it's clear that the superior kidnapped Wei Chen, let Wei Chen accompany you, hahaha!"

Lao Zhu also laughed when he heard this, and then retreated to the lake pavilion in a water pavilion.

It is not connected to the sky, not to the ground, and is surrounded by water pavilions, which is the most suitable place for talking and chatting.

Tang He saw that the upper position stopped here, and knew that the upper position was going to say something big.

"Tang He, just now we had dinner with that group of rabbit cubs in the palace, and they collectively forced the palace with us, wanting us to call Yun Xi's child back, and transfer back to the expeditionary force, just guard our Ming Dynasty's one-third of an acre."

"What do you think of this?"

When Tang He heard this, he suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp.

This matter is too big, and it is directly related to the national policy of the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years!

"Your Majesty, this matter is too much to do, Wei Chen doesn't dare to say anything, why don't you ask someone else?"

Lao Zhu was not happy on the spot when he heard this, and said in his heart that if we can find someone else to ask about this matter, we will come all the way to find you?

"Tang He, you are a person with an idea, let's ask you without asking others today, you must give us an answer!"

"This ......"

Tang He was still hesitating, and Lao Zhu spoke again.

"If you old boy dare not say it, let's ...... We're going to push you into the lake and drown!" ”

Tang He was so angry by Lao Zhu's words that he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Superior, let's not bring such a scoundrel!"

"We're also disabled, you can't bully people like this!"

Lao Zhu couldn't help but listen to Tang He's complaints, and deliberately said with a straight face.

"You're honest, it's over!"

Tang He secretly sighed and said when he heard this.

"Superior, you're really embarrassed to die!"

"Since the superior insists on listening, let's nag a few words. But there is a word first, let's go out of this pavilion, we don't recognize a word! ”

"Moreover, the superiors are not allowed to pick on the minister's fault, no matter what Weichen says, you can't be angry!"

"Good!"

Tang He got Lao Zhu's assurance, and then he opened his mouth quietly.

"Superior, in fact, Weichen thinks that the concerns of the princes are not unreasonable."

"Our Daming's current territory is overstretched, and if we are rashly expanding our territory, I am afraid that we will repeat the mistakes of Dayuan."

"If Dayuan didn't fight Japan and hit the extreme west, I'm afraid that Guozuo would be able to maintain it for at least three hundred years!"

"Now that the Ming Dynasty is so big, the 400,000 expeditionary forces are thousands of miles away, which is really unfavorable to my Ming Dynasty!"

"Once the westward expedition is frustrated, or the grain route is cut off, the expeditionary force will repeat the old story of the Tang Anxi capital protectorate and become a lone army fighting alone!"

"If there is a change in Shenzhou at this time, and the vassal kings at home and abroad change, where will the Ming Dynasty go?"
