Zhu Yijun glanced at the list of scholars and doctors provided by the three princes, and then said to the three princes: "You have to put aside the feudal domain in advance, and I have to deal with these bastards who still like to provoke infighting in the Heavenly Family!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun instructed Huang Xun: "Pass Zhang Jingxiu here!" ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Zhang Jingxiu came to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Yijun gave the list to Zhang Jingxiu and instructed: "Take all these people, and then bring them to me, I will personally inquire about this matter!" ”

Zhang Jingxiu said yes, and then took over the list.

And Zhang Jingxiu also took a cursory glance, and saw that there were officials such as "Li Yingchun" and "Shen Rui" above, but he only sighed secretly and didn't say anything.

Not long after, Li Yingchun and Shen Rui were escorted to the front of the palace.

Zhu Yijun asked these people: "Do you know why I ordered you to be arrested?" ”

"I don't know."

Li Yingchun and Shen Rui all replied.

Zhu Yijun threw a stack of poems praising the three princes as Yao Shun given to him by the third prince in front of them: "Don't you know it now? ”

The men looked at it, and then they all fell silent.

Then, these people looked at the three princes in amazement.

"Surprised, isn't it?"

"You guys are so bad and stupid!"

"But I don't want to think about it, how can my prince be a prince without his own brain, and he will be fooled by you casually, and I don't know that there is no point in internal power struggle at the moment?"

Zhu Yijun asked about these people with a sneer.

Li Yingchun, a member of the Ministry of Rites, said helplessly: "We really didn't expect His Royal Highness to do this, but the minister didn't understand why His Highness did this, why he exposed the minister, etc., which really broke his hope of progress." ”

Zhu Yijun looked at the third prince: "Yuan'er, tell them why you don't want to fight for this position." ”

"First, Erchen knows that he can't compete for the general trend."

"Second, Erchen doesn't want to be their pawn, and in the future, for them, they have to reverse this trend and restore the old system, but whether this is successful or not, they naturally don't have any big losses, it's just that they can't be officials, but if they fail, Erchen will end up being killed or assassinated by his brother, and then let the royal family once again stage a fratricidal scene, Erchen is not willing to do this."

The third prince replied.

Shen Rui, the Hanlin Shuji, said sharply at this time: "Your Highness! Overseas is not so good, and it is easy for people to have an accident at sea before they arrive! ”

"Isn't there going to be an accident in the fight for the throne?!"

The third prince asked Shen Rui, and then said, "And this is against the righteousness!" It's better to be buried in the belly of the fish, at least the latter is buried in the belly of the fish for the country, and he can get a good reputation after death. ”

Shen Rui closed his eyes after hearing this, and had to say to Zhu Yijun: "In this case, the minister is guilty and willing to be punished." ”

Li Yingchun also said: "The minister is also guilty, and he is willing to be punished!" ”

"I won't say anything."

"Since you like infighting so much, go overseas to infighting!"

"Spread the decree to exile them to the newly established vassal state in Java, and let them go there to fight among themselves, and let their people go with them, so that their relatives will not be separated."

Zhu Yijun commanded at this time.

Li Yingchun and Shen Rui raised their heads in an instant.

Li Yingchun couldn't help crying for a while: "Your Majesty! Please, be gracious! The ministers are just trying to make a contribution, and they don't intend to subvert the foundation of my Daming Temple! Don't let your ministers cross the ocean! ”

"Hehe, don't think that I don't know your thoughts about supporting the third prince to succeed."

"You're just trying to restore the old rites."

"Standing up, according to the old etiquette, it is also a non-blasphemous etiquette, but as a result, you yourself want to destroy the etiquette that you value the most, which is really hypocritical!"

"I also have to admit that you don't value etiquette so much that you believe in the law of the jungle."

"But Middle-earth is not only the natural rule of the jungle, but also the responsibility to lead human civilization to a more glorious level, only overseas may only need to abide by the rules of the jungle now, and etiquette can also be just used as a tool for flies and dogs, so it is appropriate for you to go to Java."

After Zhu Yijun said that, he asked Li Yingchun and Shen Rui to be escorted down.

Then.

Zhu Yijun said to the third prince again: "Since you want to be a vassal, I will fulfill you." ”

The three princes were overjoyed, and they hurriedly bowed to Zhu Yijun: "Son, thank your father!" ”

Zhu Yijun here sent a decree to let the cabinet discuss the domain for the three princes.

Eventually, the domain of the three princes was settled in the Owari region of the former Wa Province, and he was named Rio.

So, soon after, the three princes crossed the sea and went to the Wa Kingdom to become a vassal.

Meanwhile.

Li Yingchun and Shen Rui took a boat to Shen Fan on Java Island.

Looking at the vast sea, Li Yingchun and Shen Rui all looked melancholy.

Li Yingchun was even more at this time, looking at a group of seagulls flying around the ship and said: "I knew that this would be the case, so I wouldn't have persuaded His Royal Highness to take the heir." ”

"Originally, it was just a temptation!"

"But who would have thought that His Royal Highness was really not interested in the throne at all, and just wanted to go overseas to be the lord of a small country, and was unwilling to be the lord of the world in the future.

Shen Rui couldn't help gritting his teeth at this time, and criticized the three princes.

Li Yingchun echoed and said: "Yes, if you can be the lord of the world and restore the old rites, then it is not only the Japanese who can be killed and taken away, but all the people in the world, and even if you kill our scholars, you can kill them if you want, and return to the era when the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die." ”

"But our Third Highness doesn't have the courage to restore the old rites! It also hurts us to travel across the ocean now, and I really don't know if we can return to Middle-earth in this life. ”

Shen Rui also looked sad when he heard Li Yingchun say this.

However, the two were lucky and finally made it to Java.

The Ming Dynasty has now gained a firm foothold in Java, a place where agriculture is more mature, and has also set up a vassal state, the Shen Domain, here.

As soon as the two arrived in Java, King Shen welcomed them into the palace and asked, "Gu already knows that you were exiled here because you wanted to instigate the three princes to fight for the country's capital." ”

"Let His Highness see and laugh!"

The two of them were ashamed to reply.

King Shen said: "Lone knows that you are doing this to restore the old rites, although now in Middle-earth, it is already whimsical and unpleasant for you to think like this, but it is different when you come here, and Lone supports you to do this." ”

Saying that, King Shen said in a low voice: "Lone needs to let my sons fight with the son of the world now, so that I can call Lone here with peace of mind, and you will each choose one of my sons now and then instigate them to fight with the son." ”

The two were stunned when they heard this, and looked at King Shen.

"What are you doing watching Lonely?"

"Since you dare to instigate the Third Highness to fight for the country, you must have done a lot of homework in this regard and figured out the thoughts of those emperors in the history books, so don't you know Lone's thoughts about doing this?"

King Shen couldn't help but say.

Li Yingchun first arched his hand at this time and said: "Your Royal Highness, we already know that the Shen State has restored the ancestral system, and the prince is even more advocating science, filial piety and virtue, so we think that there is no need for the Shen State to fight for the country." ”

"Yes, in my humble opinion, not only can Shen Guo not be able to fight for the country, but also the other princes should be separated as soon as possible."

Shen Rui also expressed his opinion at this time.

Li Yingchun and Shen Rui arrived in Shen State safely, and after seeing that Shen Guo was implementing the old system, they had no intention of fighting for the country.

First, they knew that the position of the prince was determined by the imperial court, and both the prince and the king of Shen were implementing the old system in the Shen domain, which was obviously in line with the intentions of the imperial court, so it was impossible to abolish the prince.

The second is that they also want Shen to be like this, and then they want to maintain the status quo, but they don't want to provoke infighting, and let Shen be in a state of instability, and they don't want King Shen to use the internal strife of the princes to be more centralized, so that they may not be stable in Shen State.

Therefore, Li Yingchun and Shen Rui are unwilling to fight.

King Shen was very disappointed when he saw this: "You people, you people tried your best to start infighting in places where you shouldn't be fighting, and now you want to fight infighting, but you don't want to, it's really shrewd and annoying!" ”

"Expel all these Han exiles."

"According to the system, give them official land, and let them accept labor transformation!"

King Shen gave up the idea of recruiting Li Yingchun and Shen Rui as vassal officials.

And Li Yingchun didn't say much, only arched his hand: "I disappointed Your Highness, I just have been doing business in my family for generations, and I don't farm, so can Your Highness fold the official land that is allocated to you and give it to you as the foundation of business?" ”

Shen Rui also said here: "It's the same below, the family is all engaged in business, and I don't know about the crops, so I ask Your Highness to be accommodating." ”

"If you come on your own initiative, you naturally have the right to choose to develop for the country."

"But you are exiled, according to the purpose, exiled here, those who can do agriculture must do farming, and they all take the development of agriculture first, then the mining and the third business."

"There is still a lot of undeveloped farmland in this domain, so you can only go to farming first to know the difficulty of crops!"

Although King Shen had the authority to arrange the occupations of these exiles, he did not agree to these two men.

And Li Yingchun couldn't help but say: "I know why Your Highness is so ruthless, but I just ask Your Highness to be clear, I don't want to obey the king's orders, everything is for the sake of the peace of the palace!" ”

Shen Rui followed: "That's right, is His Highness really willing to see flesh and blood and brothers fighting each other?" ”

"When did Lone say yes?"

King Shen also denied it, and said:

"I only know now that my vassal kingdom must meticulously implement His Majesty's holy decree, so that my emperor can prosper forever, not to mention you, even if you are the Yuan Fu of the dynasty, if you are exiled here, you have to work as a farmer first!"

Li Yingchun and Shen Rui couldn't help but glance at each other after hearing this.

Then, Li Yingchun gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness is like this, and you can only be Mr. Wuliu in the future." ”

"It's the same down there!"

Shen Rui also gritted his teeth and replied
