Zhu Yunxi understood the old man's mood.
On one side is his eldest grandson, and on the other side are his beloved younger sons.
Now the eldest grandson is inciting the younger sons to change the fiefdom, and he is saying it in a reasonable and logical manner. Even though he understands in his heart that enfeoffment is the most direct and effective strategy now and the best way to firmly control the place, he still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The old man took a sip of wine and sighed quietly, "It's so far over there! If I really want to go, it will be difficult to come back!"
In an instant, Zhu Yunxi understood why the old man felt unhappy. It was too far away. The sons who had been with him since childhood were reluctant to move so far away.
But some people don't know what the old man is thinking.
King Shen Zhu Mo said smoothly, "Don't be afraid of being far away. The sky is high and you are always far away... No, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap. My sons and ministers are in Goryeo, riding horses and whipping for the Ming Dynasty. It is better to guard the frontiers and nurture the people than to wait for death!"
Zhu Yunxi saw that the old man's cheeks were bulging, and his big hands kept rubbing the soles of his shoes.
But in the end, the old man did not take action, but continued to sigh, "I can't help but want to go far away!"
"Grandpa Huang, please don't feel bad!" Zhu Yunxi poured some more for the old man and said with a smile, "Young uncles, your ambitions are as high as the sky. They want to be the heroic princes of our Ming Dynasty." He said with a smile, " Riding a horse and whipping a whip in a foreign land, turning the land of a foreign country into a permanent Ming Dynasty. This is a beautiful story that will be praised by future generations, and it also means that a good man has his ambitions in all directions!"
At this point, Wei Wei flattered him, "Look, you were so heroic and heroic back then. If not, you wouldn't have been able to conquer the Ming Dynasty's ten thousand-year rule, let alone sweep away Han'er's century-old weakness. , Recover the ten states of Yanyun!"

The old man crossed his legs and looked at Zhu Yunxi sideways, "We know now that these boys are getting more and more arrogant in their talk, and the root cause is you!"
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, the old man shook his head and said, "Hey, the eldest sons have been sent far away, and now the younger sons are also leaving. What's the point of this palace in the future?"
No matter how heroic and ambitious he is, when he gets old, he can't help but worry about his children and grandchildren! What he wants is the rare happiness of family life!
Zhu Yunxu felt no guilt at all for letting the young uncles divide their feudal lordships far away. But in the face of the country's major plans, he really couldn't hide his intentions.
Not surprisingly, he will be emperor for many years to come.
If we still follow the old man’s idea, there will be so many dragons, dragons, and grandsons! By then, both the national finances and the national affairs will be overwhelmed. How can we support so many children of princes, commanderies, kings, and clans? In the end, it’s not just the people who support the people.
As the old saying goes, for a big tree to grow vigorously, it needs to cut off some messy branches and leaves.
This is how things are in this world, and this must be the case when we are born in heaven.
Furthermore, letting these dragon sons and grandsons go out in the future would not be responsible for them, nor would it give them a new path. With the Ming Dynasty supporting them and helping them fight, they can go anywhere in the world as they please.
It's better than being trapped in a fiefdom, living in ignorance and mediocrity all your life, and being despised by the world for eating dry food.
Zhu Yunxi forced a smile twice and comforted the old man and said, "Don't say that. Even if you say you are going to become a vassal, you can't go right away. Except for the twenty-first uncle, the other uncles are still young and can still be in the palace. Stay with you for a few more years."
"Besides, my grandson's wife will give birth in a few months, and she will be your great-grandson. The beauty Miaoyu beside you, and my grandson's wife, will give birth on the front and back legs. When the time comes, your left hand will My great-grandson, my youngest son on my right hand, how beautiful!”
"Haha!" The old man immediately beamed again, took a heavy drink, and said with a smile, "That is not ordinary beauty! There are thousands of men in the world, but only a few are so lucky!"
Then, he put down the wine cup and said with a smile, "Okay, we know this, let's sum it up!"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Yunxi knew that the matter was settled. The old man said that he was thinking about how to make his sons prosperous. In his heart, no one should be wronged, and he could not wrong the descendants of the Zhu family. .
The next day's court meeting was Zhu Yunxi's first court meeting after returning to Beijing.
At the court meeting, the two men agreed that Korea should be established as a province without any delay or doubt.
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were eager to divide the territory of Goryeo into several pieces on the map. Near the coast, there were also large cities within the territory, most of which were garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty troops and established counties.
After the old man said about the enfeoffment, Pyongyang gave King Shen Zhumo, and he would go to the vassal state after his wedding at the age of fifteen. Pyongyang has been renamed Beichang, and the king of Han, the twentieth son of Emperor Liaodong, was renamed King Shen, and King Shen Zhumo was named. King of Han.
A veritable King of Korea!
The former Shuju seaport of Goryeo was renamed Xingzhou, and the old man gave it to the twenty-third son of the emperor, Tang Wang Zhu Huan, with a wave of his hand.
The old capital of Goryeo was opened as a capital, renamed Xinzhou, and granted to the emperor's 22nd son Anwang Zhu Ying.
The rest of the fertile land has been sealed to other young princes, and they will be granted vassal status when they grow up. Now, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs are selected to cooperate with the defenders to manage it temporarily and hand it over in the future.
This is the tragedy of small countries. From the beginning to the end, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers, they are just a name on the map. Who they want to give it to and how they want to divide it are all decided by the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers.
And no one cares about what they think. In other words, they are lucky to be alive! If Zhu Yunxi hadn't been unwilling to commit more crimes, those veteran killers would have had their heads rolling under the butcher's knife.
After discussing the matter, we also awarded rewards to the meritorious soldiers who went on this expedition. The old military princes were all smart people. They knew that their titles had reached the top and they had already received benefits, so they each grabbed countless. In the court, they said sincerely that they did not want to be promoted to officials or titles. Instead, the old man secretly praised them for being knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
However, although the old military princes were not knighted, the old man rewarded their sons a lot.
Army, the ones who benefited the most this time are the new generation generals. Needless to say, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Qu Neng, who captured the Meng Yuanzong King in Datong, was granted the title of Luzhou Bo, promoted by two levels, and added the title of military officer. Lead the military affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.
(This Qu Neng is actually the second generation of the army, and his father is also a fierce man. According to the original history, he should have put down the Burmese rebellion in twenty-seven years under Muchun.)
During this Northern Expedition and the battle to annihilate the country, the Ming Dynasty's warriors were honored and there were several more rising stars. There were countless other generals who were promoted due to their military merits.
Zhu Yunxi had been silently listening and learning about the award.
The emperor's mind is not to lavishly reward his ministers with famous titles just because they have meritorious service. They would rather give official positions, more gold and silver fields, more people, tenants, mines and ponds, etc., rather than raise their status too high.
Now the Ming Dynasty is rising, and there will be many battles to be fought in the future. If the rewards are too large, heavy, and cruel now, then there will be no rewards in the future, and there will be complaints.
Just when Zhu Yunxi had been secretly paying attention, the old man in Fengtian Palace suddenly turned his head and said, "Grandson, how should King Yan reward you?"
Up and down the hall, all the officials looked at him.
Zhu Yunxi stood up and said without hesitation, "In the northern expedition to Goryeo to destroy the country, my fourth uncle made great contributions. The soldiers of Liaodong fought bravely to kill the enemy. My grandson thinks he deserves a heavy reward!"
The old man nodded, "Then tell me how to reward you generously!"
Zhu Di did indeed have meritorious service, and Zhu Yunxi never thought of standing in the way or blocking future rewards. Zhu Di used his elite men to fight for the country. With such heroic spirit, Zhu Yunxi naturally could not let him look down upon.
"My fourth uncle is now a prince, so the title can no longer be awarded!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you, the emperor's grace, reward your fourth uncle to take charge of all the military affairs in Liaodong, control the generals of Liaodong's capital, and command the twenty-five guards and horses of Liaodong. He also has the power to temporarily transfer the troops of Liaodong and Shen Wang's two vassals. .And, it can control gold, cover, sea, and ports in four states."
Suddenly, the officials were in an uproar.
The emperor's grandson's words were equivalent to allowing King Yan to directly command all the forces in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the number of troops and horses that King Yan could mobilize skyrocketed to nearly 200,000 horses.
Not only that, but also the right to the seaport. It should be noted that at this time, all grain and grass supplies in Liaodong had to be transported by sea. Merchant ships coming and going must also pass through this route. The emperor's grandson actually gave them directly to King Yan.
In desperation, some officials from Zhu Yunxi's line in the East Palace almost fought to the death on the spot.
Among the military officials, the founding Duke Chang Sheng and others looked even more incredulous.
Zhu Yunxi, on the other hand, looked confident. He didn't worry about Zhu Di at all. Zhu Di was now the Dinghai needle of Liaodong and the sharp blade of the Ming Dynasty. For such a proud man, give him power and strength to deal with foreign enemies.
Furthermore, Zhu Yunxi was not worried at all. Zhu Di had really become a giant that the court could not control.
If Zhu Di really wanted to go his own way and cut off his food and grass transportation, he would have the Tieling Guards and the Goryeo garrison on his side. There would also be King Liao and King Shen available, so there would be no need to fear him.
He, King Yan, only has the right to temporarily recruit troops and horses from King Liao and King Shen. Those two people may not listen to the four of them.
Not only the courtiers couldn't think of it, but the old man couldn't think of it either.
The old man looked at Zhu Yunxi intently for a long time, then suddenly smiled and slowly uttered two words, "No!"
As he spoke, he laughed again and said, "The temper of the fourth child, if he gets such a reward, his tail will reach the sky in the future!" He said loudly, "He is a descendant of the Zhu family, and it is his duty to shed blood and work hard for his family and country! "
"The reward is too generous, it doesn't feel like a family!"
The old man thought about it and continued, "I'm sending you a decree to reward Yan King Zhu Di with a bright yellow five-claw gold dragon robe! Three hundred thousand pieces of cloth and two hundred thousand silver. On our birthday last year, he presented a sword. We will reward him again." Give it to him and let him hold the sword and guard the country for the Ming Dynasty!"
Unexpectedly, he was rewarded with a bright yellow dragon robe!
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, princes could wear five-clawed golden dragon robes.
However, both Zhu Yunxi and the other vassal princes can only wear gold-yellow things. Only the old man can wear bright yellow things.
This is national law!
But today, the old man made an exception!
"Grandpa Huang, you have a good heart!" Zhu Yunxi sighed in his heart, "I use these things to encourage King Yan's merits, but I'm afraid that King Yan will have random thoughts!"
