"Your Majesty, there is still one thing for the minister, I beg Your Majesty's permission." Zhu Zhan was secretly relieved, but his face was very surprised, and said:

"The two imperial nephews, King Guangtong and King Yangzong, are not bad in nature, but they lack education since childhood, and the ministers boast that they are a little older and have a little longer seniority in the clan, so they should go to their domain in person to admonish them. @ ”

According to the imperial ancestral system, the vassal kings who have already become feudal lords are not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict, nor can they leave the fiefdom without permission, let alone run around.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Zhandong left the Qianqing Palace this time, and he would need to return to the fiefdom of Xiangyang immediately the next day.

Who knows if you went to admonish them, or if you were with them and ready to rebel against the court?

"It should be so, I am ready, King Xiang can go with Tiqi." Zhu Di said with a smile: "It's rare that King Xiang has this thought, but the royal etiquette is in front, even if it is between family members, it is necessary to settle accounts and follow the etiquette law." ”

"It's nature." Zhu Zhan said with a smile.

Zhu Di thought for a while, and was a little embarrassed: "In this way, I will punish them a little, and make the two of them exchange fiefs, each of them will be reduced by fifty into the Wangfu Grange, and it will be charged into the Huangzhuang, and I will help them keep it." ”

"In addition, King Guangtong and King Yangzong will each send their sons to Beijing, and I will personally select and send officials to teach them etiquette, and after the lordship, I will order the princes to return to their domains."

"Let's live in the Ten Kings' Mansion for the time being, what does King Xiang think?"

Zhu Zhan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this emperor's methods to be so ruthless, to control the clan with the prince, and then to implement benevolent government, grace and power!

Is this an emperor who is only twenty years old?

It's like a man who has been an emperor for twenty years!

Zhu Zhan knew that the choice at this time was particularly important, so he said directly: "Your Majesty is really thoughtful, the two imperial nephews are lacking in serious royal etiquette, and if the princes of the royal palaces do not teach, it will be a trouble in the future." ”

"It's just that the minister has a reluctant request, this son-in-law is sixteen years old this year, a little older, I don't know if Your Majesty can accept it?"

Zhu Di laughed, looked at Zhu Qiyong, who looked bewildered, and said, "Since King Xiang can trust me, I am naturally willing to accept it." ”

"I will let my former teacher teach the prince personally, and in two years he can return to the domain and reunite with the princess, what does King Xiang think?"

Zhu Zhan was overjoyed, and pulled Li and Zhu Qiyong to pay homage: "Weichen thanks Your Majesty, the minister will definitely be able to learn the formal royal etiquette in Beijing, and after returning to the domain, he will not cause chaos to the court." ”

Zhu Di said: "Hurry up, if all the vassal kings in the world are the same as King Xiang, I won't be so bothered." ”

Saying that, Zhu Di looked at Li and said, "Your mother and son are about to separate, I understand that it is not easy for you, you can rest in Beijing for three days before leaving." ”

In his heart, the Li family was actually very dissatisfied with the result that the prince wanted to stay in Jingshi as a hostage, but he had no other way but to say: "The wife is grateful for Your Majesty's great kindness. ”

Today's line, there is no danger.

When the two of them left the Qianqing Palace, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Qiyong said aggrievedly: "Father, do I really want to stay in Beijing for two years?" I can't bear my father, my mother, or my playmates. ”

Zhu Zhan looked exhausted, and sighed: "When my father returns to the palace, I can make a note and ask Your Majesty for permission to take your two palace playmates to the Ten Palaces to accompany you." ”

"Others, in this eventful season at the moment, it is better to have more than one thing, and to be able to keep those two unfortunate imperial nephews and you, this is already Your Majesty's special kindness."

"It's only been two years, and that's the best of the best."

Li squatted down, his eyes were already a little red, and said, "Isn't my son always talking about coming to the capital to have a look?" Now that we are all here, where do you want to go, the prince and his mother will accompany you to play. ”

Zhu Zhan also smiled: "Today's events are all good results, don't think about anything else, I just hope there won't be a sixth time." ”

......

Half a month later.

Huguang.

Baoqing Prefecture, Wugang Prefecture.

In the first year of Hongwu, Wugang Road was changed to Wugang Mansion.

。

In the ninth year of Hongwu, it was reduced to a state, and the state was located in Wugang, which belonged to Baoqing Mansion. The territory under its jurisdiction is equivalent to the cities and counties of Wugang, Xinning, Dongkou and some areas of Longhui County in present-day Hunan.

Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong called Wugang Prefecture a good land with "pure and honest people", which is also true.

Wugang is located at the junction of the Central Plains and Miao Xinjiang, surrounded by many Miao tribes, because of different social systems, Miao people are much simpler than the Han people.

But simplicity does not mean good harmony, Miao people under the rule of Tusi, relying on the mountains and rivers, have been in rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, until now, Liu Ju and Wang Wen also led 100,000 troops in Yunnan and Guizhou to quell the rebellion. @*~~

The people who make trouble are also mostly Miao people.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, and Zhu Bai, the king of Hunan, who were responsible for guarding Huguang, led the troops to pacify the Miao Rebellion many times.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history, the Miao border wall, known as the "Great Wall of Southern China", was built in the area of Hunan and Guizhou, in order to prevent the Miao people.

Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a break out that lasted for decades, involving the southwest half of the Ming Dynasty, and was not pacified until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

is such an area where the Miao and Han people are inseparable, and two such characters have recently appeared.

A person who was originally a commoner, but now he is a guest of the Guangtong Palace, and the prince relies on the trust of the staff, and his extravagance, domestic slaves bully others, and rob the people's daughters are not uncommon.

The other relied on some face-to-face techniques, good at flattery, and coaxing, and won the trust of Zhu Huiyan, the king of Guangtong, in order to gain the Taoist master and recruit disciples.

These two people are called Duan Youhong and Libin respectively.

These two people are a disaster for the place, not only oppressing the local Han people, but also repeatedly oppressing the Miao people, causing the surrounding Tusi to be dissatisfied for a long time.

Two years later, a massive Miaosi rebellion broke out in this place, most likely because of this.

Now, a group of more than ten people rode fresh clothes and angry horses, and only arrived after half a month of galloping from Beijing, in order to completely solve this future trouble.

The two people at the head, one wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, the other wearing a flying fish suit, and an embroidered spring knife at the waist, are Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, and Lu Zhong, the Jinyi guard.

"The prince will go into the city to rest first, or will he go directly to the palace with his humble position?" Lu Zhong grabbed the reins of the horse, glanced at the scorching sun as big as a raw melon and egg above his head, and turned around and asked.

Zhu Zhandong's domain is in the prosperous Xiangyang, and he is not interested in the things here at all, and he also knows what the two imperial nephews are doing, and he has no intention of resting.

"You don't have to rest, go directly to the palace."

Lu Zhong nodded, then moved with a spur under his feet, drove his mount straight to the city gate, and after arriving, he showed the Beizhen Fusi Qianhu tooth card, and said coldly:

"I'm Beizhen Fusi Qianhu Lu Zhong, this is the current King of Xiang, I have official business, let us into the city immediately!"
