Zhu Gaoxu established the prince's affection, and the world watched it, not only all the civil and military officials, but even all the clans before the Ming Dynasty.

Because when Zhu Gaoxu cut the domain, he once said that his sons and grandchildren will be the same in the future.

Over the years, the Ming clans have completely lost their former glory, except for a few who have been governors and have officials in their families, the other clans have lived ordinary people's lives.

Of course, because Zhu Gaoxu left them a lot of land and money, the clan's life was still relatively easy.

But this can't be compared with before, so the living clans have been looking at Zhu Gaoxu, just to see how he can fulfill his promise that his sons and grandchildren have the same promise as them.

After the crown prince was established, Zhu Gaoxu's second and third orders were successively issued to the imperial city, and then announced to the world.

The second son, Zhu Zhanqi, was given 1,000 acres of land and 1 million silver coins. (equivalent to one million taels of silver)

The third son, Zhu Zhancheng, gave 1,000 acres of land and 1 million silver coins.

The fields of the Ming Dynasty had already been divided into households by Zhu Gaoxu, and the rights were confirmed to individuals, so the imperial court did not have extra fields.

Some of the surplus fields in the imperial court were reserved for the construction of factories and schools.

Therefore, the fields of the two sons were chosen by themselves.

For example, if you want to choose to have 1,000 acres of land in Beijing, the Imperial Palace Zhu Gaoxu's internal carrier warehouse will pay for them to buy 1,000 acres, and the land tax is exactly the same as that of ordinary people.

If you want to choose 1,000 acres in the big man, the big man can plow it or buy it directly, anyway, Zhu Gaoxu pays for it, or finds someone to help them get it.

Zhu Zhancheng's other two adult sons, like the Great Song system, did not have the title of king, and were given 1,000 mu and 100,000 silver coins respectively.

Zhu Gaoxu's meaning, this represents the separation of the family.

In the future, the two sons, if you have nothing to do, you can not come to Jingshi, you are an adult, and you can grow up alone.

At this time, Zhu Zhancheng was the governor of Daao, and Zhu Zhanqi was the governor of Dayuan, both of them were official residences from the first grade, enjoying the relevant treatment of the Ming Empire, and they were high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty for life.

But the son of the two, that is, Zhu Gaoxu's grandson, is not necessarily, and whether he can become an official in the future depends on the situation.

Most likely, in the future, it will be ordinary rich people.

The news was quite shocking.

Zhu Gaoxu's two sons and three sons failed to become kings, and they could not enter Beijing at will in the future, although they were high-ranking officials at the governor level, but their sons, that is, Zhu Gaoxu's grandsons, may not be able to become officials.

Of course, with the ability of the two governors, Sun Tzu may also return to his career in the future, but he will definitely not be a governor.

It is certain that the status of these two families will decline year by year in Daming in the future.

Zhu Gaoxu's new clan system is quite cruel and extremely clear.

As soon as the prince stood, the other sons stepped aside.

If the crown prince dies, there are two more scenarios.

One is that when the prince dies, the grandson becomes an adult, and the grandson takes over, and if the grandson is too young, the second or third son can be considered.

In the current situation, even if Zhu Yunwen takes over again, the second son and the third son are ten times stronger than Zhu Di, and they can't succeed.

Although the two were governors, it was impossible to think of rebellion.

Few of the civil and military ministers outside knew them, and the transfer of troops had to be approved by the local commander-in-chief.

And according to the current system of the Ming Dynasty, the two governors can only work for five years before they change places.

Anyway, after Zhu Gaoxu's several wills were issued, the world immediately became quiet.

Many clans also had to be convinced, and they were simply convinced.

Zhu Gaoxu did what he said, except for the crown prince, the other sons were the same as them.

Zhu Di's previous clans, at least now, still have princes, and Zhu Gaoxu's son, like the Song Dynasty, is no longer crowned king.

Each son had a thousand acres of land and a million silver.

This is the father's last reparation to his son.

For Zhu Gaoxu, it was enough.

Lao Tzu raised you from childhood to adulthood, cultivated your various skills, and made you an official to the governor, and when you split the family, a thousand acres of land, a million taels, benevolence and righteousness are exhausted, right?

If you want to hate me as a father again, it will be really unfilial.

In addition to them, the same is true for Princess Zhu Min'er of Daming.

Of course, there is no princess in Daming now.

Zhu Min'er is also not a knight, she is now the left waiter of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Ming Dynasty, and the official is from the third grade.

Married to a classmate in college, an ordinary person.

The emperor only announced it at this time, and everyone learned that the princess had been married for several years.

The emperor is the same as marrying, a thousand acres of land, a million silver.

The only advantage of the eldest princess is that she works in Jingshi, and she can go to the imperial city to see her parents in the future.

The other sons, Zhu Gaoxu asked them to come to Beijing less if they had nothing to do, and just work hard outside.

The emperor did what he said, and even his son was not crowned king, and now the Ming clan was completely speechless.

——

By September of the seventeenth year of Hongxi.

A large ship slowly appeared at the Longjiang wharf.

After the boat docked, a group of armor soldiers came down first, and then a middle-aged man appeared.

The middle-aged man's expression was a little excited, especially when he saw the Yingtianfu city wall not far away, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, and the tears in his eyes almost burst out of his eyes.

"Father." Just then, a young man behind him stepped forward and whispered to him.

The middle-aged man has a large physique and looks burly, but if he is not very familiar with him, he would not have thought that the burly and powerful middle-aged man in front of him, a bit like Zhu Gaoxu, is actually the former prince Zhu Gaochi, who was once fat and panting when he walked.

Yes, Zhu Gaochi is back.

With his eldest son Zhu Zhanji, as well as some family members and retinue, he traveled thousands of miles from Tai O to Beijing.

Zhu Gaochi stood at the dock at this time, and his mind was full of the scene when Zhu Gaochu's soldiers came to the city during the rebellion war, and he hurriedly fled to Beiping with dozens of ships loaded with supplies and personnel.

As a result, there was a mutiny on the way, and many ships directly landed on Zhu Gaoxu.

When he left, he looked back at Ying Tiancheng unwillingly, and he said to himself, I, Zhu Gaochi, will definitely come back.

I didn't expect that more than ten years later, he would come back in such a way.

But in any case, he is still very grateful to Gao Xu, if Gao Xu didn't force him so much, he felt that he would not have become so thin, and he would not have lost weight, and his body would definitely not be as healthy as it is now.

"Governor Zhu." At this time, a soldier next to him stepped forward and called him cautiously.

Then someone took two horses from the boat and handed them to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji.

"Thank you." Zhu Gaochi also served as the governor of Tai O for several years, but was later replaced by Zhu Gaochu.

He led the horse, and his son Zhu Zhanji had one by one.

Then look blankly ahead.

There were no officials in front to greet them, and there was no familiar person.

"Governor Zhu's family temporarily lives in the 'Welcome Hotel' of the Ministry of Rites, on the left side of the Sifang Pavilion in the north of the original city of the Ministry of Rites."

"After Governor Zhu goes, report his name, and someone will entertain him at the hotel."

"When the Governor stays, His Majesty will inform you when he will summon him."

"Before Your Majesty summons you, the Governor can take a look around the capital and say goodbye to the old man."

There was a soldier behind him who finished speaking in one breath.

Zhu Gaochi knew that no one would come to pick him up, and his expression couldn't help but feel a little lonely: "I know, thank you Zhao Baihu." ”

Zhao Baihu thought for a while, and said: "The governor is in a hurry, now the imperial court is like this, whether it is a Beijing official to the province, or a provincial official to the prefecture and county, no one is allowed to greet him." ”

"Your Majesty is also not allowed to greet people in various places, and Your Majesty believes that organizing manpower and reception in various places not only wastes manpower, material and financial resources, but also disturbs the people and affects the livelihood of the people in various places."

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he felt a lot better, it turned out that he didn't give me a horse, the rules of the court are like this now?

"There are Lao Zhao Baihu, I understand." Zhu Gaochi smiled: "Thank you Zhao Baihu." ”

In his heart, I am now an outdated governor, a former prince, and I am indeed not qualified to be greeted.

After finishing speaking, he asked Zhu Zhanji to follow him first, and the family members behind him slowly came to the welcome hotel.

After Zhao Baihu saw him get on the horse, he told a few more words, don't speed up the horse in the downtown area of the city, don't disturb the people, and don't bump into people.

On crowded streets, try to get off the horse and lead the way.

He was given a metal card with a number and a word written on it, saying that he could just check it out when someone met him.

Zhu Gaochi remembered them one by one.

Zhu Zhanji on the side was a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but say: "If it's eight hundred miles in an emergency, can't you run fast?" ”

"Junki." Zhu Gaochi glared at him dissatisfied.

Zhao Baihu said with a smile: "I don't have eight hundred miles to rush now. ”

“？” Zhu Zhanji said strangely: "There are no enemies around?" "Even if there is no enemy, there is no urgency in other matters?

"I'm facing the periphery, and I really don't have any enemies."

"The key is that I am using the communication tower now, and what is eight hundred miles away, as long as the weather is good, can be transmitted within half an hour."

"What? How can it be? Zhu Zhanji looked incredulous.

An inexplicable smile flashed on Zhao Baihu's face: "The two of you may have stayed in Daao for a long time, Daming is different now and before, many things are different." ”

"After the third prince goes to Tai O, he will change in the future, and he will become the same as Da Ming." Zhao Baihu finally said: "The two of you will stay in Beijing for a few more days, and you will know if you have a good look." After saying that, he hugged his fists and left.

After Zhu Zhancheng went to Tai O to serve as the governor, Zhu Gaochi was called back to Beijing.

He hasn't been to Daming for more than ten years, but he didn't expect everything to change.

The father and son were still a little unconvinced.

After a while, they rode to the Jiangdong Gate.

I was also shocked when I saw Jiangdong Gate for the first time.

The Koto Gate is more than twice as large as before.

The left and right walls seem to have been cut off, and the main entrance is nearly ten meters long.

But it was divided into two caves, and from their direction, on their left hand side were a steady stream of people going out of the city, and on his right hand side were the people who went in.

The two caves are each about five meters wide, which is wider than any of the previous gates.

The crowd of people entering and exiting was very orderly, and all of them lined up, young and old, in a straight line.

On both sides of the gate were the armor soldiers, who stood motionless with their hands on their backs, neither looking at the people nor checking on them, but let them go in and out freely.

This is the gate of the Beijing Division, Zhu Gaochi and his son were dumbfounded.

Zhu Zhanji was okay, but when he left Beijing, he was still young, and Zhu Gaochi was very shocked.

What if a spy comes in? He thought silently.

But he found that the defenders were very elite, and he stood there for about five minutes, and the defenders stood motionless for five minutes with their hands behind their backs.

The soldiers had a short stick hanging on their left waist and a cylinder hanging on their right waist, and they didn't know what they were loading, but they didn't have weapons on them anyway.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but raise his head and look at the city wall.

It's okay not to look up, but when I look up, I find that there are no ghosts on the city wall.

He nearly fainted.

The capital division is important, and the outer city wall of Yingtianfu is not on it?

Before the change, it was all ten steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry.

In fact, he couldn't see clearly from below, of course there was above, but not as much as before.

Above are mainly several watchtowers, with binoculars to look at.

Now there is no turmoil in the country, and it is impossible to move troops, and who still stands on the city wall with so many armored soldiers is not a waste of troops.

"Let's go." Zhu Gaochi was a little shocked and hurriedly took his son into the city.

They also lined up with the crowd, and when they entered the city, he dismounted.

As soon as I walked into the cave, I saw that the walls on both sides of the cave were written in lacquer.

On the left wall is written: "Welcome to the Ming Dynasty." ”

On the wall on the right reads: "Come happily and go in peace." ”

Zhu Gaochi felt that this sentence was a bit threatening.

Come to Jingshi to be honest, that's probably what it means.

He followed the procession into the city slowly, observing the people in line as he went.

Among the people, there are peasants, businessmen, and scholars who look like people, no matter who they are, their expressions seem to be better, and they are also quite energetic.

Many people chatted while walking, and Zhu Gaochi listened to it, but many of them couldn't understand, and he felt as if he had arrived in a new world.

"I heard that France is going to marry us, and the princess will marry the crown prince."

"France is so poor, and the toad wants to eat swan meat?"

"Although the crown prince is established, he doesn't know where he is."

"The Crown Prince is in Tai O."

"Tai O, that's not, it's the third prince."

"What's the matter, I haven't been crowned king."

"Everyone is still called the third prince, although he is not crowned king, he is still the prince."

"It's good that you don't have a king, you don't have to divide so many fields, and you don't have so many Yulu, those clans in the past didn't do any, and they divided so many fields, and they couldn't use up their Yulu every year."

"Are you going to go radio?"

"No, I read in the newspaper that the technical problems have not yet been broken through, and it is estimated that we will have to wait a year or two."

"If only Lao Tzu could invent it, there is still a patent."

"If you want to be beautiful, if you can invent it, you can go directly to the prefect."

Zhu Gaochi's face turned green after listening to the meeting, and he completely felt that he was out of touch with the Ming society.

It's like a person who has been in prison for decades and comes out exactly the same.

Zhu Zhanji was also confused, he wanted to ask his father what these people were talking about, and he was afraid of being teased by the people around him.

But at this moment, someone behind him patted him: "Brother, do you look like you're from overseas?" ”

He turned around and saw that it was a man who looked like a scholar, and actually called him brother, he nodded, indicating that he was from overseas, because he and his father were quite tanned.

"I heard that now I am immigrating to the Gulf of Aden, there are discounts, is it prosperous over there? Is there a large population? ”

Brush, Zhu Zhanji's face was flushed, and he couldn't understand it at all.

But he reacted quickly, and immediately said: "We are not from the other side of the Gulf of Aden." ”

"Oh." The scholar shrugged: "Forget it." ”

Someone not far away shouted: "The Gulf of Aden is a fart, the imperial court has just built its first stronghold in Mansura, and it will take at least ten years to prosper." ”

"Without taking the entire Mamluk dynasty, the imperial court will not be able to gain control of the Gulf of Aden."

Many people immediately asked about this person with great interest.

Zhu Gaochi and his son looked at each other, if they didn't know that this was Ying Tianfu, they really doubted whether they had crossed over.
