Now that the Ming Dynasty has only been established for a year, Zhu Yuanzhang is also in the prime of life, and he is full of spirit, and those princes are even underage, and he has not considered the matter of dividing the feudal king to defend the Ming Dynasty.

However, some things are connected.

Even if Lao Zhu never thought about it, once he was mentioned, he would find a sense of identity.

So after Fang Jin made this suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt like he had found a confidant.

What he cares about most is this great tomorrow, and he is deeply afraid of being stolen by ambitious people.

Divide the kings to defend the royal family, a good way!

It's just that our sons are still young, and we will definitely live a little longer and wait for our sons to grow up.

Lao Zhu's inner activities were rich, but he still maintained a serious countenance, and said: "Fang Jin, you have some truth in what you said, but there is still one thing that you have not thought about......

He paused and continued: "When we are in power, we really don't have to worry, and in the future, when we are in power, most of them don't have to worry. ”

"But more than a hundred years later, in case there is turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, even if the kings of those vassal kingdoms are the princes of the Ming Dynasty, they may take advantage of the situation and invade the land of our Ming Dynasty."

Fang Jin had already prepared his words, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. At that time, even if that situation really happens, this land will finally fall into the hands of the Ming clan, and it will also be your children and grandchildren, isn't this better than being invaded and occupied by those Fanbang barbarians now? ”

"In case there are rebellious ministers and thieves like Wang Mang and others in the court, these feudal kings can still raise troops to fight!" Fang Jin continued to say with great interest.

Isn't this another upgraded version of the "Qingjun side".

"In order to promote his theory of sealing the king overseas, this guy deliberately favored his father and used these rhetoric to cover up." Zhu Biao thought in his heart, and his thoughts were clear.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer, but fell silent.

Zhu Biao on the side dragged his chin with one hand, as if he was thinking about Fang Jin's words.

This father and son, one is naturally revealed, while the other is purely acted.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could answer, Zhu Biao suddenly stood up and said in a slightly retortive tone: "Old Fang, you are a little rash. Today, the Northern Yuan still exists, and they are the big trouble in our Ming Dynasty. You said that those vassal states, although their strength is not as good as that of the Northern Yuan, they are not vulnerable. ”

Speaking of this, his fingers tapped heavily on the table: "Now, there is really no need to set up too many enemies for Da Ming. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was really not suitable for reckless military force. ”

Okay, the problem has been thrown to you, how to solve the problem is up to you, Lone is too lazy to use this brain.

Fang Jin knew that this was a trap, and hurriedly replied: "At present, it is true that we should focus on dealing with the Northern Yuan, but those vassal countries are strong and weak, and if we have the opportunity in the future, we can first attack the weaker vassal states, and then choose the capable prince of the Ming Dynasty as the king of the vassal country." ”

"Those stronger vassal states, we will slowly figure them out."

Well, it's almost time for the fire.

Zhu Biao secretly observed Lao Zhu and replied: "This matter is still up to my father." Lone's royal brothers, if they are not willing to be a rich prince in the Ming Dynasty, but want to lead a vassal country, Lone will not stop them. ”

"Lone is the eldest brother, you can trust these younger brothers!"

He said it righteously, and the eldest brother's posture was undoubtedly revealed.

Seeing this, Fang Jin was also full of admiration in his heart.

Zhu Biao is worthy of being Zhu Biao, this kind of bearing and self-confidence, no wonder in history, the blue jade in his ear does not know how many times he said "Yan Wang Zhu Di has the intention of rebellion", and the other party did not take it to heart at all.

The first prince in history, really deserves his name!

The only drawback is that he died too early.

Fang Jin began to look forward to where the long-lived Zhu Biao, with his own assistance, would sail the big ship of the Ming Dynasty.

Frankly speaking, although he was a Ming fan in his previous life, he was reluctant to assist Jiajing, who was good at scheming, or Chongzhen, who was stubborn and self-serving.

Even if it was Emperor Hongwu, the first emperor of the ages, thinking about the four major cases in the future, Fang Jin still felt a little chill in his heart.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is indeed a good assistant, but compared with Zhu Biao, like fireflies and Haoyue, he can only rely on other stations.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been silent for a long time, finally said slowly: "This matter is indeed feasible, but our son is still young, and we will discuss it in detail in the future." ”

In this way, it can be regarded as the end of this conversation.

Then, Zhu Biao accompanied his father and queen mother, and the family had a peaceful dinner, then got up to say goodbye and returned to the East Palace with Fang Jin.

Zhu Biao's residence is located in the Chengqian Hall of the East Palace.

This newly built palace is magnificent, surrounded by various dragon and phoenix motifs, four dragon pillars support the main hall, and there is a bookcase seat on the top of the six steps, which is the exclusive seat belonging to the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Biao slowly stepped forward and sat down, he looked down at Fang Jin and said with a smile: "Old Fang, I didn't expect that you are not only outstanding in martial arts, but also far from being comparable to ordinary guards. Lone is still young, and he is only a shallow learner, and I hope you will teach me more in the future. ”

He is the crown prince, that is, the prince of the country, and the posture of the superior should be posed, and he will not be restrained because the other party is a traverser.

"The minister is afraid, he will definitely try his best to assist the prince in the future!" Fang Jin hurriedly said respectfully.

He obviously thought that the hand he had just revealed had left a deep impression on Prince Zhu Biao's heart.

At this time, a eunuch came over with a teacup and whispered: "Prince, this is freshly brewed hot tea, the temperature is just right, can you taste it?" ”

Zhu Biao took a sip, nodded with satisfaction and replied, "Li Zhong, you move a chair for Fang Aiqing." ”

The eunuch Li Zhong was a little fat, but his steps were not slow, and he quickly moved a chair in front of Fang Jin.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Xie gave him a seat!" After giving a bow, Fang sat down.

Zhu Biao smiled faintly and said: "Old Fang, there are no outsiders here, you tell the truth, the idea of sealing the prince of the Ming Dynasty in the vassal kingdom is worried about sitting alone and unstable as the crown prince?" ”

Beside him, the palace maid stood a few feet away, and Zhu Yuanzhang would not arrange eyeliner for his eldest son.

As for Li Zhong, the personal eunuch standing beside him, he would not chew the root of his tongue.

The eunuch in the early Ming Dynasty, under the status, this Li Zhong dared to talk nonsense outside, and the next moment his head fell to the ground.

After Fang Jin heard this, he said secretly: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young after all, and he is an ancient, and his vision is not as long-term as mine.

But from another point of view, he is a close minister of Zhu Biao, and when Zhu Biao ascends the throne in the future, he will inevitably rise to the top.

Therefore, it is also within his duty to solve the prince's worries, and it is normal for the other party to think so.

So, Fang Jin also said smoothly: "This is also one of the reasons, after all, the minister is His Highness's person, and it is natural for His Highness to think about it." ”

As everyone knows, he fell into Zhu Biao's routine again.

"Haha, old Fang, old Fang, you have no confidence in Lonely!" Zhu Biao smiled and pointed at him with his finger.

"Don't dare!"

Fang Jin hurriedly got up and said in fear.

"Sit down, Lone didn't blame you!" Zhu Biao waved his hand again and said, "You just said that this is one reason, but what about other reasons?" ”

"In order to prolong the national glory of the Ming Dynasty!" Fang Jin blurted out.
