On the third day after the winter hunt, Zhu Yuanzhang drove the vassal kings back to the domain.

Because the vassal kings are in the capital, firstly, it will consume a lot of expenses, and secondly, the feudal kings should have stayed in the domain, and the feudal realm needs them to manage, and it is easy to cause trouble when they gather in the capital, and there will be a party for personal gain.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always hated the most about forming a party.

Even if it is a party between princes, he will not allow it, because in that case, it will inevitably leave a hidden danger for Zhu Xiongying after his death, what he wants to leave Zhu Xiongying is a clean and clean Ming, he has too much blood on his hands, he doesn't want Zhu Xiongying to be contaminated again.

Therefore, even though he was reluctant in his heart, he still ordered that the vassal kings of all walks of life should leave the capital within three days and return to the domain.

Noon Gate, on the city tower.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the departing backs of the vassal kings from all walks of life, with a pair of blazing eyes, but they were already filled with tears.

"It's been several years, and there has only been a chance to get together, but it's only been a few days, and we've kicked them out with our own hands!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was full of parting sorrow.

This iron-blooded emperor, although he didn't show anything in front of his son, but at this moment, like an ordinary old father, looking at the back of his sons leaving, tears suddenly welled up.

"I don't know how many chances I will have to see them again in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most ruthless.

For this point, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been in power for more than 20 years, has a deep understanding.

Dividing the vassal king, this is a matter that Zhu Yuanzhang has thought about carefully.

The Ming Dynasty was fought down by him, and the old Zhu family also grew up under his hands, and he cherished this family as much as the country.

Although he designated Zhu Biao as the prince early, he also cherished each of his sons.

Dividing the vassal king, firstly, can allow his children and grandchildren to share the country, secondly, to let them defend the country for the Ming Dynasty, and the military power is in the hands of his children and grandchildren, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang more at ease than handing it over to others, and thirdly, to divide his sons and stay away from the whirlpool of the imperial court, which is also better to protect them.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of family and country that laid hidden dangers for the later Jingjing.

This kind of thinking certainly has its limitations, but it is the most traditional thought of the Chinese people.

Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is good, the old Zhu family's family, working together, defending the Ming Dynasty, and even wrote in the ancestral training: There is no official in the court, and there is treachery in it, and the army will be raised to punish the king.

For the management of the vassal kings, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a clear system, without the order of the imperial court, the vassal kings were not allowed to leave the domain at will, nor were they allowed to enter Beijing.

So this time the kings are vassals, which is equivalent to parting with life and death.

It will be even more difficult to meet in the future.

It's no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang is so sentimental.

Zhu Xiongying, who was behind him, looked at the white-haired and tearful old man in front of him, and was very understanding in his heart, so he couldn't help but take a step forward and said softly: "Grandpa, grandchildren will always be by your side." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying, pressed his big hand on Zhu Xiongying's shoulder, nodded and said: "Yes, fortunately, there are still you by our side, our eldest grandson has grown up, he is taller than us, and he knows the uncles of the pit!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a pleased smile.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't tease me." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang put away his smile and said: "Grandpa is serious, few of your uncles are fuel-efficient, and they really can't cure them without some means, on the day of the winter hunt, you did a good job, you should let them see the means of our eldest grandson, otherwise they think that our eldest grandson is only relying on a grandson to take the position!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his words and asked, "Eldest grandson, let's ask you a question, if, let's say if, if we are gone, one day one of your uncles makes a mistake, what will you do with him?" ”

This is a question that Zhu Yuanzhang is concerned about.

As the saying goes, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of them are different, not to mention that the old man has more than 20 sons, and his conduct is not the same, just like the King of Qin and the King of Qi not long ago, they did nonsense in their own fiefdoms, and now Zhu Yuanzhang is still there, everything is okay to say, everything is still under control.

But once he is gone, what will Zhu Xiongying do?

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to hear Zhu Xiongying's thoughts.

Zhu Xiongying pondered for a moment and replied: "If there is really such a day, Sun Er will warn him fiercely, raise it high, and then gently put it down, let him know that he is wrong, and don't do it again in the future!" ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at Zhu Xiongying for a few seconds, and then smiled: "Okay, very good!" ”

He didn't follow up, what if the imperial uncle didn't know what to do?

Because in that case, it would be an offense against the power of heaven.

Tianwei can't be blasphemed, he knows that Zhu Xiongying will not let him go anymore, and if he continues to ask, it will be embarrassing for his eldest grandson.

Besides, his eldest grandson's answer has already made him very satisfied.

"Great grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the groggy weather outside the noon gate again, and after the winter hunt, the weather became gloomy.

And it's cold, cold to the bones.

This kind of weather is easy to make people sentimental, Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "Tomorrow, Yun Wei is going to Shouzhou to become a vassal, this time, just like his uncles, I don't know when we will be able to meet." ”

"Yun Wei is also a good boy who is filial, and the bad one is his mother, and no matter how you say it, he is your younger brother."

"You're going to drop him off tomorrow?"

Zhu Yuanzhang used an inquiring tone, and it was obvious that it was up to Zhu Xiongying to decide whether to send it or not.

"Good!"

Zhu Xiongying replied crisply.

If he hadn't crossed over, Zhu Yunwen would be the future Emperor Jianwen.

After only four years of reign, he was taken away from the throne by Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

The biggest problem in this is, of course, Zhu Yunwen himself, because of his weakness and incompetence, improper use of people, and the burial of Zhu Biao's family, which the old man is most optimistic about, with his own hands.

Now that he has replaced him, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Zhu Yunwen.

Of course, Zhu Xiongying also wanted to send off this Zhu Yunwen, who should have been Emperor Jianwen, not because he felt indebted, nor did he feel sympathetic, but he wanted to warn him not to have other ideas and to be his longevity king......

……

The next day, the sky was still overcast.

It was overcast and lifeless, there was no wind in the air, but it was unusually cold.

It's late November, and winter has arrived.

This year's winter seems to be even colder than in previous years, and the cold is like countless insects passing through clothes, through flesh and skin, and directly to people's bones.

Yingtian City, which became deserted because of the cold.

Outside the city, a team of men and horses are ready to go, and Zhu Yunwen, the king of Shou, is about to set off and take over the state.

At the front of the line, two teenagers stood side by side on horseback.

It was Zhu Yunwen, the king of Shou, and Zhu Xiongying, who came to see him off......
