At the beginning of the first month, King Zhu Song of Han, King Zhu Ying of An, King Zhu Fu of Tang, and King Zhu Dong of Ying set out from the capital to join the fiefdom.
The Han Dynasty entrusted Kaicheng, the old capital of Goryeo, and his wife was the granddaughter of Feng Guoyong, the Duke of Ying.
Prince An's fiefdom is Pingliang, Gansu, and his wife is the youngest daughter of Xu Da, king of Wuning in the former mountains.
The king of Tang Dynasty granted him the title of Yunnan, and his wife was the direct granddaughter of Wu Fuzi, Duke of Guizhou.
King Ying granted the title of Anlu, and his wife was the young daughter of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding.
The four vassal kings have their fiefdoms thousands of miles away. Once they leave, they will not be able to return to them.
Among them, in fact, the last two could stay for a few more years, but the old man had made a decree before he abdicated, and if he left early, he would not delay in the capital. Therefore, in his weak year, he had to leave the capital.
The morning bell of the Forbidden City rang for the first time. The old man and Zhu Yunxi, dressed in rich clothes, accepted the obeisances of several vassal princes in the Jinshen Hall, and paid homage to them as kings and ministers.
The second morning bell rang, Zhu Yunxi and the old man held a banquet in Huagai Hall to bid farewell to several vassal kings.
For these young sons, the old man loves and hurts his heart. The entire banquet and ceremony were carefully organized by Park Bucheng and the twelve supervisors. Even during the Chinese New Year and the old man’s birthday, it has never been so grand.
Pass.
But this banquet was grand and somewhat sad, and the hall was almost silent.
The old man sat upright on the throne, the wrinkles on his face were filled with worries. Zhu Yunxi sat beside him, his heart also filled with sadness.
These young princes all grew up with him.
He looked around and saw Zhu Dong, who was lowering his head and weeping. He couldn't help but remember that when he first came to this world, this kid pulled his sleeves and spoke in a babyish voice.
"Brother Xi, don't feel bad, I'll play with you!"
There is also Zhu Huang, who is holding the golden cup and shaking his shoulders slightly.
"Brother Hei, I will be a general in the future. I will take my uncle and my cousin to rob those barbarians!"
Time flies by, and the boy back then has become an adult.
But before we can celebrate the joy of adulthood, we have to welcome parting.
"Wow!" Someone couldn't hold it back and finally cried out.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes turned red instantly, and he turned to the old man and said, "Grandpa Huang, why don't you keep a few uncles here for a few more years?"
The old man looked at the place where the cry was coming, the wrinkles on his face trembled, and he shook his head and said, "The rules are the rules, let them go far away!"
"Woo!" Below, the crying became louder.
Zhu Dong was already in tears, and he directly grabbed a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man, "Let them stay for a few years! Wouldn't it be good to stay with you?"
The old man looked at Zhu Yunxi with complicated eyes and said nothing.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "grandson, the throne and fiefdom you promised them will always be theirs. Your grandson will not..."
"We know!" The old man interrupted Zhu Yunxi.
In fact, there are some things that the two men know each other well. In the future, when the old man leaves, it will be the time when Zhu Yunxi takes power from the vassal king and cuts down the vassal. The old man is worried that these few are easy to bully, so he directly asks Zhu Yunxi to deal with them.
.
The enfeoffment is far away, and it is not taboo, and the prosperity and wealth are guaranteed.
"We know you won't!" The old man looked at Zhu Yunxi and said, "But you can stay for a day, but you can't stay for a year. Let's go, let's go. When a man is old, he needs to go out and see the world!"
As he said that, the old man raised his wine glass and said loudly, "Let's go to the fiefdom. Don't embarrass us. If you have us in your heart, send me a letter during the holidays. If I die, hey, damn, where are you?"
Kowtow to me in the direction of the capital!"
"Father!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of crying in the palace.
Zhu Dong spat out what was in his mouth and ran directly towards the old man. He was too quick and jumped directly at the old man's feet, grabbing the old man's legs and howling loudly.
"Father, if my son doesn't leave, my son will stay and honor you!"
Other vassal princes also came up, knelt in front of the emperor, and kowtowed.
"Father, if my son doesn't leave, no one will go to your fields to cause trouble anymore, and no one will steal the vegetables you grow."
"Father, my son can't bear to leave you!"
"We know, we know!" The old man burst into tears, "We know, be good, be good! But, but the national law is like this, now that we are sealed, there is no reason to keep you!"
As he spoke, he shouted, "Pu Bucheng!"
Pu Bucheng stepped forward crying, "I'm here!"
"Open the inner treasury!" the old man said while wiping his tears. "The poor people are on the way to the rich. The places they go to are too desolate. Bring them more money and cloth. Open the inner treasury and bring more to them. Bring more to them!"
"My servant obeys the order!" Pu Bucheng quickly turned around and ordered the eunuchs of the Twelve Eunuchs, "Quickly, let someone load the car, and pack as much as possible!"
"My son doesn't want those useless things!" Zhu Dong took the old man's hand, "My son wants to be with you!"
"We know, be good!" The old man took up his son and touched his hands, his face, and his hair with nostalgia, "In the Ming Dynasty, the prince guards the frontier and defends the central area. The barbaric land requires you to take charge of it so that it can be stable.
People's hearts, military and civilian effectiveness!"
He said, looking at his sons, with tears and smiles, "When you were children, didn't you always clamor to lead troops and horses in all directions, sweep away unruly people, and steal other people's good things? Go, go! Go.
Grab it, grab the good stuff, and send it to dad to make dad happy!"
"Father!"
There was crying again.
Zhu Yunxi stood beside him, also bursting into tears.
"Come!" The old man took off his hairpin from his head and placed it in Zhu Dong's palm. Then he closed his son's hand and said, "Take it and think about it!"
Zhu Dong was crying so hard that he was speechless and trembling all over.
The old man took the sachet from his waist and handed it to Zhu Huang himself, "Take it and think about it!"
"Father!" Zhu Huang held it with both hands and grabbed the ground with his head.
"Here!" The old man took off his belt and wrapped it around Zhu Song's neck, "Think about it!"
"Dad!" Zhu Song cried, his voice hoarse.
"These things are worthless!" The old man held back tears and smiled, "But, every one of them is worn by me. We know that you are all good and filial children. With these things, you miss us.
When the time comes, take it out and take a look!”
In one sentence, no matter how much they endured, everyone couldn't help it, and cried in their arms.
"Emperor!" The old man said to Zhu Yunxi, using a title he had never used before, "What do you want to reward them with?"
Zhu Yunxi wiped away his tears and said, "The uncles and grandchildren have grown up as close relatives of flesh and blood, and their love is stronger than gold." He said, looking at the young princes, "I promise you that from now on, every autumn and Spring Festival,
Come back if you want. Yes, if you don't obey the imperial edict, you can return to the capital!"
"My lord, thank you for your kindness!" All the vassal kings kowtowed.
They are thousands of miles away and cannot come back every year, but with this imperial edict, it at least shows their extraordinary treatment. Moreover, there is an implication behind the words.
The kings of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to invade the capital without an edict. This was true even if it was a national mourning.
The old man is getting older, and their mother and concubine are not young anymore.
If something goes wrong in the future, they won't be able to make it to the funeral, but they can go back to the capital to pay their respects.
This was given to them by Zhu Yunxi, a privilege that surpassed other vassal kings.
"And!" Zhu Yunxi thought about it and continued to speak solemnly, "I, my descendants, and the kingdom of all the uncles will never be eliminated!"
Zhu Yunxi was so excited that he made a promise that their feudal kingdom would never be eliminated.
"Get up, be good, and stop crying!" The old man was very satisfied with this reward, nodded and said to his sons, "Eat more, it's all cooked by your mother and concubine. It will not be easy to eat in the future!"
