Zhu Xunxuan, the son of the acting king, suddenly got up with a panicked face and saluted Zhu Di.

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Today is my old Zhu family's family sitting together and talking, you sit well, you don't need to get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xunxuan sat down cautiously, but he was still frightened, like a quail.

Since he came to Jingshi, there has been a vassal king, because he told Zhu Di about his father's black state, and he didn't like him.

Zhu Di glanced at the vassal kings in the hall and said: "The old thirteen was taken seriously by the imperial examination and sat in Datong, but you should have all heard that the old thirteen did some bastard things in Datong?"

wantonly killing, robbing money on the street, even if it is a guard next to him, he will kill him directly if he wants to kill, what he does is personnel? ”

"How many times has he been impeached by those imperial officials, and I have given him three times and twice to give orders, advise, and even let him come to Beijing, but he will not come......

Cut off his three guards, and can't discipline him anymore, what does he want to do? ”

Saying that, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xunxuan, "Now, after we cut off the old thirteenth prince, is he honest?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Daddy ......"

Zhu Xunxuan's face changed, and he swallowed.

"That's it!"

Zhu Di's face darkened, and he already knew the result in his heart, so he didn't ask any more.

Then, Zhu Di looked at the vassal kings again.

"You are all the descendants of the imperial examination, and the imperial examination established the Ming Dynasty in order to save the suffering, and sent you to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, so that you can govern the Ming Dynasty well!

As a result, now ask yourselves, what are you governing? ”

"The Ming Dynasty is the world that the emperor has laid down for our old Zhu family, and as a result, you, the vassal kings, exploit the people of the Ming Dynasty more viciously than those corrupt officials and corrupt gentry......

"The best fields are divided by you, the best mountains, forests and rivers are occupied by you, and the best business is secretly controlled by you one by one......

After enjoying all this, you all feel bored again, and you want to learn from those powerful gentry to kill people and find new pleasures?

You don't look at it, these are the Ming of my old Zhu family, those gentry can be destroyed at will, no matter how many dynasties have changed in this world, they are still local gentry, they can continue to enjoy their glory and wealth, what about you?

If my old Zhu family's Ming is gone, what will happen to you vassal kings? ”

Listening to Zhu Di's questioning, below, the expressions of the vassal kings changed slightly, thoughtfully.

One by one, they are not stupid, and they know the stakes.

Zhu Di did not stop, and continued: "As the king of the Ming Dynasty, you have no worries about food and clothing, and even enjoy all the glory and wealth, do you enjoy it yourself, and you want your descendants to start to suffer from rebellion?" Or is it a displacement?

The imperial examination let you become a vassal, and there are also three guards, because he is worried that the Mongols in the north will come back and let the Ming fall into war, so you can protect the Ming! ”

"But now, the northern Tatars have been cleaned up by us, and in more than ten years, they will be assimilated by my Ming Dynasty and lose the ability to climb on horseback!

As for you vassal kings, if you can't be a virtuous king, you can be an idle king who is lazy, we will still give you a fortune every year, and a year-end bonus at the end of the year, which will definitely make you worry about food and clothing, and no one dares to provoke you! ”

"But you must obey the law, and you must not abuse the people as animals......

If they force the people, they will also jump over the wall in a hurry, and they can also fight for their lives, poison, trap, or even rebel! ”

"I will not be a faint king, and I will not let you be a vassal king who will harm the people.

I have many ills in the Ming Dynasty, far exceeding those of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The emperor took the exam to pull out so many hard thorns for my old Zhu family, gnaw off so many hard bones, and even killed so many people.

Then, let you go out of the town one by one, all of them will sit in various important places in the Ming Dynasty, and form a good guard, so that you can deter those former elders, corrupt officials, and landlords and gentry.

This can make my old Zhu family sit down in this Ming Dynasty slightly, but it is not to let you join forces with those former elders, corrupt officials, landlords and gentry, to bully and exploit the people, and dig up the roots of our old Zhu family.

One by one, you should feel that you are idle in the domain, scratching all over your body, and you can lead your troops to the sea and go overseas to attack the feudal kingdom for yourself!

Deliver your vassal kingdoms to your vassal kings!

If you think that overseas is wild and barren, you can ask King Zhao, this bastard has experienced it for more than a year......"

"It's okay if you don't want to go out, and we won't chase you! However, you have to be a good king or an idle king for us honestly!

Otherwise, we will bring you all to Jingshi one by one, replace the imperial exam, and teach you a lesson!

Don't think we're ignoring brotherhood! ”

The last sentence surprised all the vassal kings again.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers and others will be honest and honest, and they will not oppress the people!"

"Exactly! Your Majesty, rest assured, we are not only optimistic about our vassal kingdoms, but also want to find out those rebellious ministers and thieves and the remnants of the former Yuan! ”

"Your Majesty......"

The vassal kings suddenly spoke.

In these years, what to do, can have a sense of accomplishment in killing corrupt officials and evil gentry and finding out the former elders.

No, the Jinyi Wei Wang really led a group of people down to investigate and deal with so many corrupt officials and evil gentry, not only the people of the world, but also His Majesty.

Moreover, so many acres of land, money and grain were not copied.

The most important thing is that those imperial histories all pinched their noses and didn't dare to make a sound.

This incident made them all very envious.

"No!"

Zhu Di's expression was solemn, "Those corrupt officials are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and those officials are very wary of the vassal kings.

Now, if you wait for the vassal king to make a move, those officials will definitely make a fuss. ”

"In this way, I will listen to His Majesty's orders!"

The vassal kings nodded one after another.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded with some satisfaction.

At this time, King Ning, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you can let King Zhao introduce you, what is it like overseas?" ”

Hearing this, all the vassal kings in the hall suddenly stared at Zhu Di with expectant faces.

Although they already know a rough idea from the mouths of those businessmen.

However, how can those businessmen be compared with King Zhao?

And Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi are slightly twitching at the corners of their mouths.

Zhu Gaosui's bastard boy's mouth overseas, how can it be in his ears?

Zhou Wang Zhu Hu also looked anxious, "Fourth brother, we have long been very curious about overseas, so let King Zhao talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, let King Zhao tell our brother about ......"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Gaosui on the side.

"Third child, tell the kings, what is the situation overseas?"

"Yes, Dad!"

Zhu Gaosui couldn't bear it anymore, slowly took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and said directly.

"Overseas, although they are all wild and barren places, they are a treasure land.

Uncles and brothers may have only heard that overseas ships are extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, they will be wrecked and killed......

In addition, there are often pirates on the sea, and those barbarians are also vulgar......

However, in my eyes, overseas is a treasure land! ”

"Gold is everywhere overseas, and barbarians in some places actually throw gold on the ground at will, and I can exchange one or two white sugar for a pound of gold, or even ten pounds of gold......

In addition, those spices, and some rare treasures, are also as many as cattle hair overseas, and my Ming tea, sugar, refined salt, silk, and ceramics can be easily exchanged! ”

"I took people overseas, and when I came to the Old Port, there was a lot of war, and the natives were barbarians, and they could call themselves an army of thousands, one by one, with some broken copper and iron.

It just so happened that it was also connected to the Western Ocean, and there were also many people in the Central Plains who were being persecuted by war, so I led my generals to attack a piece of territory in the local area......

The weapons and ordnance of my Ming army are so elite, such as those firearms, I just showed that the army composed of those local natives was like a collapse, except for some who ran away, the rest of the people were scared and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Then, regard me as a god and descend to earth, and dare not have a trace of disrespect......"

"Those barbarians are well-behaved, as long as they are given food, or a little bit of cloth from my Ming Dynasty, or ceramics and glass objects, they will regard them as treasures, and obey me, and there will be no laziness......

Moreover, there are some gold, iron and copper mines that can be found there, even if it is to grow grain, it is also very easy to grow......

The only bad thing is that the natives there are very stupid, and they can't do anything a little complicated!

However, it's okay like this, it's not like those scholars in my Ming Dynasty, who are clever all day long, good at quibbling, and sanctimonious, and if you are not careful, you will be trapped......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaosui seemed to have opened the conversation box, taking him from going to sea to finding the old port all the way.

Then how to defeat the local native barbarians, how to build a country, how big a seaport to build, how many seaships will come into the seaport every day, how many barbarian merchants will enter to do business, and how he will enjoy himself in Zhao State, how to be at ease......

All the vassal kings in the palace were fascinated by what they heard, and their eyes were shining.

As the kings of the Ming Dynasty, they have not enjoyed any glory and wealth, and they have not seen what kind of world.

However, only the kind that Zhu Gaosui said, they can be the masters of their own affairs, and they belong to them freely, and they have not experienced the country without those treacherous civil officials.

Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, was also attracted over, and asked with interest on his face: "King Zhao, are these true?" ”

Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, was the sixth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in Wuchang, and at the same time led Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, to pacify the barbarians, and the next year he pacified the barbarians......

After another three years, he and Xinguo Gong Tang He, Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing pacified the copper drum, and the barbarian rebellion in Weizhou!

Not only bravery, but also strategy!

Among the kings, his prestige is very high, and he is also a good king!

But despite this, King Xian was also attracted by the scene depicted by Zhu Gaosui!

Zhou Wang Zhu Hu also reacted, and asked with a anxious expression: "King Zhao, is there a place overseas where the mountains are full of rare herbs?" ”

Similarly, all the vassal kings in the palace also looked at Zhu Gaosui with anticipation.

Even, even Zhu Gaoxu had some intention in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but stiffen their faces, what's going on?

Most of the words of the third child are boasting, and you all still believe it like this?

It's just that a Ming Emperor and a Ming Crown Prince can't understand how eager these Ming vassal kings are in their minds to be the masters of the house!

"It's real!"

Zhu Gaosui looked proud.

"If I didn't have only three guards, and I had to leave three thousand people to guard the palace, I would definitely have to capture more barbarian lands!"

"Your Majesty, my brother wants to lead troops to the sea, attack the feudal country, and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, my brother is also willing to lead troops to the sea......"

The vassal kings immediately hurriedly asked for instructions.

However, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Dai, the vassal kings whose eldest son has not yet grown up, can only be full of desire, but they can't ask for their lives!

"No hurry!"

Zhu Di shook his head slowly, "As the king of the Ming Dynasty, the most important task is to guard all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

Although, now the great disaster of Mongolia in the north of the Ming Dynasty and the great disaster of the Japanese have been eliminated, but if you want to lead the troops out, the three guards can only take two guards at most!

Moreover, the soldiers who go to sea need to provide their own food and grass.

In addition, if you want to go out, you must leave a prince who can be worthy of great responsibilities to your palace, otherwise, when you leave, with the treacherous nature of those civil officials, I am afraid that your palace will be ......lost by those civil officials."

Hearing this, all the vassal kings immediately subconsciously shrank their necks.

Truly.

Those civil officials are all extremely treacherous. Especially those imperial histories, they are always staring at these vassal kings, trying to find out all kinds of faults with them, and they are looking for trouble with them.

Seeing this, Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Overseas is actually still good, otherwise why would I still be the king of Yan in Beiping, and risk being scolded by the emperor to go and capture Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom?"

You are all our royal brothers and nephews, and we are all family.

With these good things, we naturally have to think about you first, if it is a few decades late, I am afraid that those gentry and powerful people will secretly accumulate strength and conquer overseas feudal states, and there will be no place for you! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is right, we are all a family, the imperial examination can establish the Ming Dynasty, and we, the descendants, will naturally be able to occupy all the treasures overseas!"

"Exactly ......"

The vassal kings nodded their heads one after another.

The strange light flashed in his eyes, and it was inevitable for those barbarian places overseas.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was even more satisfied.

Immediately, they got together and started talking about the situation overseas.

However, most of them asked Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao on the side, for advice.

And it is rare to be in the limelight in front of all the vassal kings, coupled with the careful thoughts that cannot be said in his heart, Zhu Gaosui is ready to answer all questions, and even adds some additional words, which makes these vassal kings even more excited.

In the end, they were eager to run back to the domain, take their three guards, go to sea, capture a domain, and establish their own domain.

This feast lasted all day.

Subsequently, the vassal kings retreated to Zhu Di and dispersed.
