Chapter 8: Cutting the Domain

The emperor's edict has been issued, and Li Qing talked very smoothly.

Of course, the rich gentry are unwilling in their hearts, but they are only unwilling in their hearts, and they dare not show it at all.

Workers, looms, silkworms...... Li Qing talked about it the same, and the rich gentry not only agreed, but also agreed.

It took a month and a half, and Li Qing finally finalized the project.

Next, we waited for the weaving bureau to be built and the introduction of workers to start work.

Li Qingqing took his three daughters shopping, shopping, and occasionally went to the construction site to have a look, living a slow-paced life.

On the other side, the construction of the Longjiang Shipyard also began, with Sanbao in charge of supervising the work.

The expenses of the imperial court increased suddenly, and the money was spent like flowing water, but fortunately, the foundation laid by Lao Zhu was good, and the treasury could still support it.

……

Autumn goes to spring, and it's another year in the blink of an eye.

In the new year and new atmosphere, Zhu Di Jianyuan Yongle officially entered his own era.

The vassal kings of the world all came to congratulate, the whole Beijing division was very lively, Zhu Di was very atmospheric, and during the period when the vassal king entered Beijing, all the expenses were covered by the imperial court.

At the beginning of February, Zhu Di summoned all the vassal kings to Fengtiandian Square, and summoned the civil and military ministers with cards to hold a feast for hospitality.

King Zhou, King Dai, King Qing, King Ning...... One by one, they stepped forward to congratulate and give great gifts to the monarch and ministers.

After a while, they began to eat and drink.

Li Qing, Dao Yan, and Zhu Di are at the same table, and the scenery is the same.

Fortunately, there is Dao Yan sitting on the left hand side, this old monk does not eat meat, but unfortunately there is Xiao Fat sitting on the right hand side, this guy is clean and dry.

"Brother Qing, don't patronize and eat." Chubby whispered, "I'll tell you something." ”

Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "Can you swallow the food first before you speak?" ”

"Goo Dong~" Chubby raised his glass and sent down the food with wine.

Li Qing looked around and found that almost all the hard dishes he could reach were all made by Xiaopang, so he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks, "What's the matter?" ”

Chubby said in a low voice: "Lichu's business." ”

Li Qing's heart moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "Do you need to worry about this?"

Who else is you? ”

"No, I don't want to be a prince." Xiaopang explained, "My father likes the second child, and now that my father has established the Yuan, in a few days, the matter of establishing the prince will be moved to the table again, and you will have the weight of your words, and you will help the second child a little bit when the time comes." ”

"I don't want to help him." Li Qing shook his head, "I think you're very good." ”

"......" Chubby rolled his eyes, "You're not my father, what do you think I'm good for?" ”

Li Qing was speechless and puzzled: "Isn't it good to be a prince?" ”

"At least it's not good to be my father's prince." Chubby smiled bitterly, "You don't know him, you like to play with people the most, I'm afraid of being played to death by him." ”

"What are you two talking about?" I don't know when, Zhu Di has arrived behind the two, and he is so frightened that the little chubby face trembles, "No... Nothing ......."

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "There are no rules at all, how can you be a prince?" ”

"Yes, yes, my father said yes." Chubby nodded again and again, wiping his sweat.

Zhu Di patted him heavily and raised his voice: "Everyone, I have announced something. ”

Everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at Zhu Di.

"All the vassal kings are my brothers, sons and nephews, nobles of Tianhuang, and relatives of our Ming royal family; As the saying goes, the body of a daughter can't sit down......"

Balabala......

Zhu Di's words were a little marginal, and the vassal kings were confused when they heard it.

But there are stupid and fine, Ning Wang Zhu Quan comprehended the true meaning, and hurriedly got up and said: "The emperor is Shengming, the younger brother was appointed by Emperor Taizu Gao to command the army;

Although he has worked hard over the years, his ability is limited, and he feels embarrassed by the big responsibility, and he hopes that the emperor can allow his subordinates to recuperate. ”

Zhu Di's face turned pale, "Seventeenth brother, what are you doing here?"

Do you think that I will also follow Jianwen's example and cut the feudal domain? ”

"Shengming has no past the emperor, how can his brother think like that?" Zhu Quan said sincerely, "It's really the ability of the subordinate brother to be limited, and over the years, he has been on the border, openly and secretly sick, and he has been on the border... It's really powerless. ”

He looked sincere: "I hope the emperor will allow it." ”

"I think you're just trying to be lazy!" Zhu Di's face was full of displeasure, "Alas... That's it, it's really hard to defend the border, and since you want to recuperate, I can't force it. ”

After a pause, he said: "Over the years, you have made a lot of contributions to the seventeenth brother, and my heart is open, Xia Aiqing ......"

"The minister is here." Natsuhara stood up and saluted.

"King Ning's old age is on the original basis, plus 5,000 stones." Zhu Di said boldly, "Registered." ”

“…… Obey the order. ”

Zhu Di smiled heartily, "Seventeenth brother, Daning is a bitter cold land, you have suffered all these years, and I have decided to choose a rich domain for you in Jiangnan, are you willing?" ”

"Jiangnan?" Zhu Quan's heart suddenly burst into joy, "The younger brother is willing, thank the emperor for his favor." ”

When the vassal kings saw this posture, they still didn't understand anything, so they immediately got up and asked for their resignation and took the initiative to hand over the military power.

They understand that Zhu Di is not Zhu Yunwen, and the generals are all of the same mind as him, even if they violently cut the domain, they can only bear it.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, compared to Jianwen, Zhu Di does this, and it can't be better.

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Di said angrily: "Do you want to join forces to force me? ”

"The younger brother (nephew) doesn't dare." The kings hurriedly explained, "The ability of the ministers is limited, and they are embarrassed to take on a big responsibility. ”

The kings resigned, but Zhu Di did not allow it.

The kings resigned, but Zhu Di still refused.

The kings resigned, and Zhu Di reluctantly agreed.

Everything is developing according to expectations, Zhu Di was very happy, and said: "You are all my brothers, sons and nephews, I will not treat you badly, Xia Aiqing remembered, King Zhou added 5,000 stones, and the king added 2,000 stones......

Except for King Ning and King Zhou, the other vassal kings all added 2,000 stones.

Originally, Zhu Di wanted to add more, but was persuaded by Li Qing and Daoyan.

After a wine banquet, such a big matter as cutting the feudal domain was quietly resolved.

Xiao Zhu cut himself for a few years and wiped himself out, and Zhu Di solved the problem peacefully with only one banquet.

After the banquet was dispersed, Zhu Di ordered the vassal kings on the border to return to the domain to pack up their belongings, saying that he would find a good place for them to go.

The cutting of the feudal domain was unexpectedly smooth, and Zhu Di originally wanted to leave them a guard, but the kings resolutely did not want to, and Zhu Di had no choice but to give up.

In fact, it's not that they don't want it, but they feel that the fourth child is tempting.

The cutting of the feudal domain is so smooth, Xiao Zhu has contributed a lot, if it is not for his ruthlessness, how can he appear to be benevolent?

Zhu Di was so happy that he didn't feel like he had drunk it, so he took Li Qing and Dao Yan to the middle hall to continue drinking.

Of course, only Zhu Di and Li Qing are drinking, Dao Yan is a monk, he doesn't drink wine and meat, and he drinks tea when the two of them drink.

"Old monk, there are not a few monks who drink wine and eat meat, and even marry wives and have children, what are you pretending?

There is a saying......"

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart." Li Qing saw that he was struggling and spoke up for him.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Di came up with a bad taste and poured a cup for Dao Yan.

Li Qing helped him, and he had to be dragged into the water.

Dao Yan obeyed these two old sixths, and would rather die than obey.

"After drinking this wine, I will reward you with ten beautiful women." Zhu Di seduced.

"......" Dao Yan was bitter, Mo said that he didn't want to, even if he wanted to, his body didn't support it.

Almost seventy, what else can he do but shed tears?

At this time, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly came in to report: "Your Majesty, King Ning asks to see you." ”

"What is he doing?" Zhu Di scratched his head suspiciously, "Let him come in." ”

Seeing this, Li Qing and Dao Yan got up and said goodbye.

Zhu Di said: "It's okay, it won't be delayed for long." ”

After a while, King Ning came in and gave a great gift to the monarch and ministers.

The two avoided and stood aside.

Zhu Di helped him up with a smile, "Seventeenth brother, I said that I don't have to resign, why are you so polite?" ”

"Uh-he-he-he......" Zhu Quan said with a dry smile, "Brother Chen wants to... I want to ask the emperor where he wants to divide his courtiers. ”

"Where do you want to go?" Zhu Di asked with a smile.

Zhu Quan remembered the fourth brother's sentence 'I became the emperor and shared the world with you', and he felt somewhat confident in his heart, and said: "My brother wants to go to Suzhou." ”

Zhu Di's smile stiffened and shook his head slightly, "Su. I'm afraid that the state can't do it, seventeenth brother, if you want to have another place, I can't allow it. ”

"That's... Navigate. State? Zhu Quan said tentatively.

"If you think of another one, I won't allow it." Zhu Di's smile disappeared, and his tone was slightly unkind, "Think about it." ”

Zhu Quan felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he dared to attack, and said: "The courtiers are stupid, and it is all up to the emperor to decide." ”

"Look at you, let you choose you and don't choose." Zhu Di smiled again, "Then I'll help you choose one." ”

He pondered for a moment, "How about finding a location for you to the west of Jiangnan?" ”

"Ministers are all necessary." Zhu Quan arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask the emperor, how biased is it?" ”

"Hongdu!"

Zhu Quan was dumbfounded, this is too western, right?

"Hongdu has pleasant scenery, and it is the land of fish and rice, which is the most suitable for resting and recuperating, what does the seventeenth brother think?" Zhu Di looked like 'no thanks'.

"Minister... Brother Shane. Zhu Quan's face was not very good-looking, "The minister retired." ”

"Well, slow down on the road, I won't send you."

Zhu Di muttered: "It's still Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I want to be beautiful." ”
