The military academy has a full curriculum, divided into two parts: physical fitness classes and cultural classes.

The wrestling taught by Lan Yu is only part of the physical fitness class. In addition, there are training tutorials on queues, flags, bows and arrows, firearms and other weapons.

In order to strengthen the physical fitness of these people, Zhu Yunxi also had the foresight to include morning jogging and regular training.

Of course, they joined in the name of the old emperor, so they dared not be angry but dared not curse.

As the only cultural person in the army, Fu Youde is mainly responsible for providing cultural training to everyone.

But his cultural level is too limited, so he can only tell everyone about some of his experiences gained during the war.

Therefore, in order to ensure the healthy growth of the majority of students, Zhu Yunxi could only select one of his three masters to explain to them the art of war books such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wei Liaozi, Six Army Realm, and Ji Xiao Xin Shu.

After all, it is indeed a bit embarrassing for Fu Youde, a barely illiterate person, to talk about this.

However, in the process of integrating theory with practice, Fu Youde still put forward many constructive suggestions and asked Zhu Yunxi to directly appoint him as the second vice president.

The first deputy dean is naturally Lan Yu. As for the principal dean, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi can only serve on a temporary basis. If they do not serve on a temporary basis, no one else will dare to become deputy dean.

After Zhu Yunxi got on the right track in the military academy, he began to revise the vassal management regulations.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not have such a thing at all. Lao Zhu only briefly mentioned a few words in the emperor's ancestral precepts, and they were all overlord clauses that guaranteed the legitimate rights of the vassal king, and no powerful officials were allowed to infringe on the interests of the vassal king.

When it comes to protecting his calves, Lao Zhu can be called the strongest father in history.

He stipulated many harsh terms in the imperial decree. For example, the prince's palace in the capital must not be occupied by anyone. If a powerful official dares to occupy it under any pretext, he will be executed.

If the feudal officials sent by the imperial court passed by the feudal king's territory, not only could they not take a detour to avoid it, but they would have to run over to pay their respects.

If there is an excuse not to go, it will be decided immediately.

Both of the above are relatively reasonable. After all, they are just precautions.

In comparison, the other rule stipulated by Lao Zhu is a bit unreasonable.

According to his stipulations in the emperor's ancestral precepts, even if the vassal king violates the law and discipline, if it is only a small mistake, local officials and court officials are not allowed to report it to the emperor. Anyone who dares to make a report will alienate the Tian family.

, a treacherous minister who sows a wedge between the clan and the emperor.

Even if the vassal king committed a serious crime, if he reported it without real evidence, it would still be a serious crime...

As for the outcome, it is still the same as above, it is still a simple decision.

Precisely because of Lao Zhu's bottomless connivance, among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, few had a good reputation.

If Zhu Yunxi had not forcibly thrown the scourge King Qin onto the ship, according to the Ming Dynasty history of another time and space, this guy was domineering in the fiefdom, harming the people, and was finally assassinated by a woman.

It can be said that Zhu Yunxi forced him to go to sea, which was equivalent to saving his life in disguise.

Compared with the vassal kings of the past dynasties, Lao Zhu's attitude towards the vassal kings was really afraid that they would be wronged, and he wanted to give all the good things in the world to his bastard sons.

However, it was precisely because of Lao Zhu's doting that the clan of the Ming Dynasty was completely turned into a bunch of trash. As a result, in the late Ming Dynasty, they were either slaughtered as pigs or captured to refine oil, and they were never able to exert the power that the clan should have.

Of course, Lao Zhu cannot be entirely blamed for this. Lao Zhu's son Zhu Di also has certain responsibilities.

After all, he started his career as a vassal king in rebellion. After Zhu Di became emperor, the first thing he did was to cut off the military power of the vassal king to prevent such things from happening again.

Therefore, the Ming vassal kings after Zhu Di had no choice but to be pigs.

The essence of the vassal management regulations that Zhu Yunxi wanted to reform was to prevent the Ming clan from turning into pigs, and to fundamentally establish a sound system so that they could become useful people to the Ming court.

Of course, such a major matter cannot be decided by him alone. He has to find someone among the vassals to take the blame.

Moreover, this person's status cannot be lowered. He must have status with Lao Zhu and have weight among his brothers.

Zhu Yunxi thought about it again and again, and felt that Jin Wang Zhu Fan was suitable.

Since King Qin secretly went overseas to catch parrots, King Zhu Fan of Jin was automatically promoted to Da Zongzheng and took over all affairs of Zongzheng Temple.

In fact, Zongzheng Temple had nothing to do. It was just to register the newly born descendants of the old Zhu family and approve the concubinage of the feudal princes.

Generally speaking, Lao Zhu doesn't care much about these things. As long as his sons don't make too much trouble, he doesn't even bother to reprimand them.

Zhu Fan didn't want to offend anyone. He would recognize any children born to his brothers, regardless of whether they were born to registered concubines. As for minor matters such as taking concubines, he could either report them in advance or complete the procedures afterwards.

With Zhu Fan's acquiescence and connivance, the descendants of the old Zhu family flourished quickly. Even a guy like Zhu Gui, who had been married for only two years, had several concubines to serve him.

Therefore, after Zhu Fan learned about Zhu Yunxi's intention to recruit him to Beijing, he immediately chose to pretend to be ill.

"Eldest nephew, you also know that Third Uncle's body always makes him feel unhappy..."

"You'd better discuss this matter with others. It's hard to say how many days your third uncle will live, so I won't get involved with you in this matter."

The reason why Zhu Fan refused so simply was because he didn't want to offend anyone.

If it were in the past, Zhu Fan would naturally not be afraid. However, after his brain was diagnosed with a disease the year before last, he always felt that there was something in his brain and felt that he would die at any time.

Once he passes away one day, the King of Jin will not even be an adult, so he will be bullied by his other brothers?

Based on this, King Jin changed his previous fiery temper. Not only was he kind to each of his younger brothers and sisters, but he also treated Lao Zhu politely, for fear of offending his father.

"Uncle Third, you are not mentally ill, so don't scare yourself!"

"You may just have high blood pressure, high blood fat, and high cholesterol..."

"As long as you follow my weight loss diet and lose weight, your dizziness will be cured naturally!"

Zhu Fan didn't believe him. He knew his eldest nephew too well. As long as he needed it, he could make the dead look alive!

For example, if he wanted to raise a big bird called Qingluan, he would trick these two fools, King Zhou and King Qin, into the boat to help him catch birds...

"Nephew, please don't lie to me. I know my own body well."

"I only have a few more years to live, so let me save some virtue for that silly kid Zhu Jixin!"

When Zhu Yunxi saw what Zhu Fan said, he immediately felt unhappy.

When did my third uncle become such a mother-in-law?

"Third uncle, don't you think the greatest evil is me?"

"As long as you make me happy, you don't have to worry about Zhu Jixi's future?"

"Uh-huh?"

Zhu Fan was stunned when he heard Zhu Yunxi's words, and then thought about it secretly, feeling that what his grandson said was so reasonable!

If you don’t fawn over the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why are you fawning over those useless brothers?

"Eldest nephew, are you sure about this matter?"

"Yes, I have!"

"I'm not sure, can I ask you to come to Beijing?"

Zhu Fan pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City.

"I'm asking about the old man's side..."

"You need the old man's nod to do this. If he doesn't nod, it will be useless no matter how hard we try!"

Zhu Yunxi also had a headache when he heard this. It was foreseeable that Lao Zhu would never agree to this.

Because according to Zhu Yunxi's management regulations, the vassal kings had to be demoted one generation after another, and even the crown prince had to pass an examination if he wanted to inherit the title. If he failed the examination, he would be replaced by another concubine.

Just this one, Lao Zhu can break his legs!

"That's why my nephew asked my third uncle to find a way. As long as my third uncle takes the initiative to write a letter and point out the bad policies of the Ming Dynasty vassal king, I think the emperor will definitely agree."

Zhu Fan quickly shook his head when he heard this.

"Don't even think about it!"

"If your grandpa Huang knew that I was the one who initiated this matter, he would break my legs!"

"You should go and convince your grandpa. As long as your grandpa agrees, my third uncle will go out of his way to offend all the brothers and do it for you!"

"this……"

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll try..."

…

Lao Zhu has been in a very good mood recently. Firstly, the emperor's grandson has set up a military academy to catch all the generals and nobles. Secondly, his birthday is approaching and he can reunite with all the royal children again.

At Lao Zhu's age, the emperor no longer had many pursuits.

Either he was thinking about how to preserve the Zhu family forever, or he was thinking about getting together with his children and grandchildren more and enjoying family happiness for a few more days.

Therefore, after winter came, he would ask almost every now and then where his princes had gone.

When Zhu Yunxi entered Lao Zhu's palace, Lao Zhu was grabbing Er Hu and Qin Deshun and asking the vassal kings about their movements in Beijing.

"Reporting to your Majesty, King Shu, King Xiang has left Sichuan and should be near Wuchang Mansion now. He is expected to enter Beijing together with King Chu."

"King Yan has also left. He should be near Kaifeng Mansion now. King Yan sent someone to deliver a letter a few days ago, saying that when he passed by Kaifeng, he wanted to visit King Zhou's house and go to the capital with Prince Zhou and others."

When Lao Zhu heard this, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Ni Sun!"

"If Ni Sun hadn't been fooling around and thrown the King of Zhou into the boat, the King of Zhou wouldn't be so lonely!"
