"When I cut down the vassal, I don't mean to take back all your power and your land! I don't mean to guard against you!"
Zhu Yunxi said earnestly, "Take your King Jin as an example. Your legitimate son will inherit the title of king and continue to sit at the border, while your concubines will be entrusted elsewhere. Third uncle, you are right to think about your children and grandchildren. Then you hope that your children and grandchildren will be the only ones in the future."
A useless person who knows how to enjoy happiness, or a virtuous king like you who can mount a horse to govern an army and dismount a horse to govern the people?"
Zhu Fan pondered for a long time, his eyes changing complicatedly, "But over there, most of them are smoky and barbaric places!"
"I have already said that some places are as rich as my Ming Dynasty. They are rich in products, with three crops a year, and there are also big rivers and rich minerals!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Besides, what's wrong with the wilderness and the rampant savages? My Zhu family
The sons and grandsons of dragons, are you still afraid of those?"
"If they are sealed, the imperial court will not let them go. Wherever they are sealed, there will be the Ming Dynasty! Since then, my descendants of the Zhu family have continued to multiply, and our land of the Ming Dynasty will never have strength. It will be of great benefit to our family and the country!"
Saying that, look at Zhu Fan's face.
"No one has said these words to me. Because you are my third uncle, I love you and respect you in my heart, so I tell the truth!"
Only Zhu Yunxi himself knows whether he is telling the truth or not.
In fact, he only said part of it. Not only did he want to disintegrate these vassal kings in this way, and no longer seal their descendants in the Ming Dynasty, but he also wanted to take back the military and financial power of these vassal kings.
.
"I am thinking a little too far!" Zhu Fan bowed his head and said, "I failed to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts!"
He also had many doubts in his mind, but Zhu Yunxi had already kept his posture very low. He could no longer act like an uncle and push forward.
"In short, you are my third uncle, can I harm you?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Smiling, he patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Third uncle, I'll tell you one more thing! Something that no one has ever said, not even Grandpa Huang knows about it!"
Zhu Fan's eyes were stunned for a moment, and he heard Zhu Yunxi sigh and say, "Even my son will not be granted a title in the Ming Dynasty in the future. If they are willing to be a handsome prince, then they can stay in the capital and the title will be passed on to them."
The generations decrease. The first generation is the prince, the second generation is the county prince, and the third generation is the duke!"
"In my case, even if you are a biological son, there is no way to enjoy eternal glory and wealth!"
"Your Majesty, what makes this happen?" Zhu Fan was immediately shocked.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand to stop Zhu Fan from talking, and said, "It doesn't make sense. I am cutting off your vassal so that my son can enjoy the happiness."
"My plan is that after the princes turn fifteen and get married, they will go to the border to practice. How much power and territory they want in the future, the imperial court will support them from behind, and they can fight it themselves!"
"Whether they are dragons or insects, it depends on themselves!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Fan was speechless.
"In our Zhu family, it is so difficult for the old man to start a business when he is a commoner. No matter how difficult it is for future generations, it will not be difficult for him!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile again, "If you want one generation to be stronger than the next, you can't just lie down and lie down under the old man.
Enjoy happiness in the country."
"Good men are everywhere! Wherever the men of the Zhu family go, I, the Ming Dynasty, will multiply!"
"Hundreds of years from now, who knows if those barbarian lands will become another Jiangnan? At that time, history books will say that my Zhu family are good men, not worms in the country! Everything in our Zhu family was conquered by ourselves.
, instead of just sitting back and enjoying the success, eating the people’s fat and the people’s wealth!”
Zhu Fan was stunned by these words. He never thought that Zhu Yunxi had such a plan in his heart. Even his own son would not be sealed in the land of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
"Third uncle, you know what I said today!" Zhu Yunxi patted the back of the other person's hand again, "I understand your grievances, and you must also understand my difficulties!"
"I am ashamed!" Zhu Fan lowered his head in shame, "I am, I am too selfish and failed to think of the emperor's difficulties!"
"Why do my family say this?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "It would be great if you understood my painstaking efforts!" He continued, "But these things take some time after all, and sometimes, I still need three Thank you for your support."
"You are the head of the vassal, and I will have many areas where I need your cooperation in the future. For the sake of the great Ming Dynasty and the billions of people, we, uncle and nephew, have to perform a few plays for others to see!"
Hearing this, Zhu Fan laughed.
"The emperor has an order, and no minister dares to disobey it. Even if he asks me to hand over military power, as long as the emperor understands and talks to me, I will hand over to him!" Zhu Fan said, "But not everyone understands the emperor's will like me. Difficulty!"
"I know what you mean!" Zhu Yunxi sighed, "Whether you understand it or you don't understand it, it's up to them. I promised Grandpa Huang earlier that the Zhu family will never have those scandalous things like the previous dynasty, and I don't even want to They will kill each other!"
Zhu Fan stood up and prostrated again, "Your Majesty shows your heart to me, and I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude!"
"I am also very pleased with how sincere my third uncle is to me!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and helped him, "When will we set off tomorrow, I will see you off!"
"I dare not bother the emperor!" Zhu Fan said, "I will go and pay homage to my mother tomorrow and then leave!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Okay, go and talk to the old man!" He said with a smile, "Say something nice to make the old man happy!"

The soil in the fields is fine and fluffy. Covering the ground is new soil that has been dug up by hoes.
The old man worked in the fields for a while, then stood up slowly, holding on to his lower back.
"Damn it, it's because I'm not healthy anymore. I've been working for so long and my back hurts!"
"Master, please take a sip of tea and take a break!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile from behind.
"How long do you have to work for before you take a break?" the old man said angrily, "The way you keep doing it for a while, you won't be able to finish it in a damn month!"
"Slave, are you tired?" Pu Bucheng said with a smile.
"There's no work that isn't tiring! Who among the farming people in the world isn't tired?" The old man rubbed his waist, "Why don't you do it if you're tired? How about a fool?" As he said that, he suddenly smiled at Pu Bucheng, "You're so stupid You old man, you don’t even have room to eat birds!”
After saying that, he bent down again and started working in the fields.
From behind the old man, the straight ridges of the fields look pleasing to the eye.
"Master, the third master is here!" After a moment, Pu Bucheng said again.
The old man turned around slightly and saw Jin Wang Zhu Fan standing at the edge of heaven and earth.
"Come here and help me work!" the old man said and started working again.
Zhu Fan took off his golden dragon robe at the edge of the field, took off his boots and put on cloth shoes, walked along the field ridge, and stepped forward with a smile.
"It's not bad. You also know how to follow our footsteps and not step on the ridges!" The old man took a look and said with a smile.
"I still remember when I was fifteen years old, you asked your eldest brother to take your son back to your hometown in Fengyang to worship your ancestors!" Zhu Fan squatted next to the old man, picking up straw sticks and pebbles from the ground, "You didn't let me I'm not allowed to disturb the local magistrates when I ride a horse. I just carry a bag on my back and put on my straw sandals and walk back!"
"We are afraid that you will forget your roots!" The old man squinted and snorted, "I was still polite to you back then, but now you have a belly, as if you are pregnant!"
"I know my father's painstaking efforts!" Zhu Fan said with a smile, "I have been thinking about it all these years, but I have never said a word to my father!"
"What are you talking about?" The old man raised his head and stopped.
Zhu Fan looked at the old man and said, "I never said thank you to my father!"
"Thank us?" The old man was puzzled.
"My son wants to thank his father for giving him glory, wealth, good food and clothing." Zhu Fan carefully helped the old man and scraped off the dirt on his fingers, "My son has not thanked his father for everything he has given him!"
"Damn it." The old man was stunned for a long time, "Aren't all fathers like this?"
"Dad!" Zhu Fan said softly, "My son will go back tomorrow!"
"Go, go, go! It's annoying to see you!"
"If you miss your son, send someone to send a message. No matter how far you are, your son will be back soon!"
"You're fucking talking like we're going to die!" The old man smiled, and then glared at Zhu Fan, "How old are you? You're almost going to be a grandfather, and you're still acting coquettishly with me?" He said, Big Hand
With a wave of his hand, he said, "Work, have lunch with us, stew meat!"
