Prince Su Shu saw everyone coming out of Qianqing Palace, and they all looked worried.
No matter how well-educated the officials are, they will be excited when they hear that their father has the idea of once again granting them royal titles and allowing them to go overseas to build a country.
They will try their best to have their names appear on the enfeoffment decree.
There are many people among them. When my father first entrusted them, they worked hard and had a chance to get a quota.
These people were afraid that their father was selecting loyal ministers, or that they believed that his father paid lip service but did not live up to his words.
When they saw how things would develop, they felt extremely regretful that they did not seize this opportunity.
Now that they see this opportunity again, these highly qualified veterans will definitely do everything they can to seize this opportunity.
Prince Su Shu can also guess why his father did this?
This should be a type of proxy war as my father said.
The empire provided supplies and allowed these vassal states to fight with European countries and tribes in Arabia.
This strategy directly aims to weaken enemies and allies so that neither party can grow, threatening the empire's status.
That is to say, there are no usable indigenous nations on the American continent.
Otherwise, my father would have adopted this method in America, instead of allowing conflicts between vassal states.
By doing this, the empire can also keep abreast of all the situations in the vassal country.
Once it is discovered that the vassal country is weaker than its opponent, the empire will provide a large amount of assistance to try to preserve the vassal country's chance of making a comeback.
If the vassal state is stronger than its opponent, the empire can weaken the vassal state by reducing aid and other methods to maintain a balance between the two forces.
In this way, forces hostile to the empire cannot develop and grow. In the process of continuous consumption of vassal states, their development speed will inevitably be slowed down and will definitely not be as fast as the development speed of the empire.
In this way, the vassal state will always remain a vassal state and cannot escape the control of the empire.
Even if the vassal state is not very free, these ministers are eager to establish a vassal state.
They are now in extremely prestigious positions, with little chance of promotion, and at most they can get a little honorary title.
The founding monarch is so attractive, he can not only bring countless benefits to the family, but also be famous in history.
Whether it's profit or fame, as long as you become the founding monarch, it won't be a problem.
…………………………
Prince Su Shu did not return to the Prince's East Palace, but went to Kunning Palace where Queen Wang Wenjun was.
He walked into Kunning Palace and saw the eldest princess Su Rong holding a little girl in her arms, sitting next to the queen Wang Wenjun, watching a movie together.
He had seen this movie before. It was not a propaganda movie invested by the imperial court.
It was a movie that his mother used her own money to find someone to shoot.
The name of the movie is "The Great Doctor", which tells the story of his grandpa's magnificent life.
Prince Su Shu believed that his grandfather's greatest contribution was not to open Wang's Medical Clinic and train a group of doctors with superb medical skills.
Instead, he raised his daughter Wang Wenjun.
When Queen Wang Wenjun saw Prince Su Shu arriving, she signaled for people to turn off the movie and all the maids to go out.
The eldest princess Su Rong knew that her younger brother and the queen mother had important matters to discuss.
Now, apart from coming to pay my respects during festivals, my brother usually doesn't come to Kunning Palace for no reason.
Although she is the eldest princess of the royal family, she is married to an outsider after all.
Su Rong should never hear some royal secrets.
The eldest princess Su Rong immediately stood up and said: "Mother, there are still some things at home that need my daughter to go back and deal with.
Whenever the Queen misses Yan'er, I will bring her to see the Queen immediately."
The eldest princess Su Rong hugged her daughter and taught: "Yan'er said goodbye to uncle."
I remembered a childish sound of milky milk.
"Uncle, goodbye."
Prince Su Shu said with a smile: "Sister, Xiao Yan'er, we will meet again when we have time."
Prince Su Shu waited until his sister left with her children.
Only then did he tell his mother what happened in the Qianqing Palace today.
After Queen Wang Wenjun heard this, he pointed out pointedly: "Su Ming is your biological brother, and you can't even tolerate him.
How are you going to convince your father to entrust him to Europe?"
When Queen Wang Wenjun heard Prince Su Shu's tone, she knew what Prince Su Shu was thinking.
She has taught Prince Su Shu since he was a child and is very familiar with this son.
Prince Su Shu's wings were growing, and Emperor Su He had no intention of deposing the prince.
If he wants to deal with other princes, he doesn't need to come to Kunning Palace to discuss with him in a low profile.
There is only one exception for the prince, and that is the fourth prince Su Ming, who is a compatriot from the same mother and is five years younger than him.
When Prince Su Shu heard what the Queen Wang Wenjun said, he said helplessly: "The status of mother and son has been fulfilled.
If other princes want to compete with their son, then they should see the real seal in their hands.
Su Ming must be Erchen's younger brother. Erchen doesn't want to turn against him, so he asks his mother to do so.
Besides, Su Ming is not a gentleman. He prefers to have fun, and also likes to paint and recite poems.
These two hobbies are not hobbies that my father likes.
It is completely useless for a mother to support her younger brothers, so it is better to fully support her sons to rise to power."
Queen Wang Wenjun fell into deep thought. The prince of the founding emperor usually ended badly.
This was when the founding emperor was in his prime and the prince had grown up.
The conflict between the imperial power and the power of the prime minister is very fierce. The power of the emperor and the prince may not seem to conflict fiercely, but in fact it is very fierce.
Especially the founding emperors and Mingjun, they were talented and strategic.
They will never allow outsiders, even his own sons, to share the power that belongs to him.
This is the reason why the founding emperor and the prince of Mingjun both ended badly.
Many emperors even forced the prince to rebel.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were relatively typical emperors.
Queen Wang Wenjun knew that her husband was not the kind of person who had a strong desire for power and control.
If he were that kind of person, he wouldn't want to enfeoff ministers.
But the conflict between the emperor and the prince may break out inadvertently.
Queen Wang Wenjun will try her best to protect the prince, but when the emperor is resolute, she can only choose to compromise.
Su Ming was his backup plan. Once something went wrong with Prince Su Shu, Su Ming could withstand it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now the prince Su Shu feels the crisis and is ready to entrust Su Ming out.
Queen Wang Wenjun will not allow this to happen.
A prince who is entrusted overseas will never inherit the throne, no matter how outstanding his performance is.
Queen Wang Wenjun sighed, shook her head and said, "The distance in Europe is too far, and the Queen Mother doesn't want to be separated from Ming'er so far away."
When Prince Su Shu heard this, he was not surprised at all.
He had listened to his father's teachings, and people in the country preferred the golden mean.
In a closed room, if someone proposes to build a window, many people will object.
But if you propose to lift the roof, most people will agree to repair the windows.
Prince Su Shu had known for a long time that it was impossible for his mother to let Su Ming leave the empire.
He just said this just to express his true thoughts.
"Mother, Su Ming has grown up now, and he should also develop his abilities.
I think Su Ming can be entrusted to Burma, Siam and other regions.
Train his abilities and make him a talent useful to the country."
The feudal states of the empire and the vassal states are completely two different things.
A feudal country is a county with autonomy. The leader of the country can formulate policies and implement his own policies within the feudal country.
As long as there is no serious conflict with the laws of the empire, under normal circumstances, the imperial court will not interfere with the management of the feudal country.
His power is comparable to that of a governor, and his autonomy is higher than that of a governor.
However, it was still under the management of the emperor, and the cabinet would also dispatch officials to assist the king in managing the feudal country.
The most critical point is that the army in the feudal country is usually managed by the Governor's Office.
Only when war breaks out can the king order the troops to dispatch.
That is also to issue macro orders and specific battle plans of the army, and the ruler of the country cannot interfere at all.
Prince Su Shu believed that the role of the feudal state was for his father to stabilize the border and select qualified heirs.
The feudal kings were dancing in chains, and many eyes in the court were staring at these feudal kings.
A feudal state is essentially similar to a county, but it has a lot of autonomy.
A vassal state is completely different. It is a country with complete rights.
Even if the empire wants to control it at will, it cannot achieve it.
Queen Wang Wenjun saw the persistence of Prince Su Shu, and she also believed that Su Ming went to the feudal country for training, which would be beneficial to Su Ming's growth.
She nodded, indicating that she agreed with Prince Su Shu's suggestion.
Prince Su Shu had a smile on his face. What he had been thinking about had finally been achieved.
There are too many princes in the royal family, and they don't often show up next to their father to show off their abilities.
Even if this person is a genius, it will not be easy for him to be remembered by his father.
What's more, geniuses also need a platform to display themselves.
Prince Su Shu returned to the East Palace, and a secret radio wave was emitted from the radio station.
…………………………
Emperor Su He finished reviewing the memorial and was just about to turn off the lights and take a rest.
Concubine Shu Qu Qingyi brought a nervous young man to Qianqing Palace.
Under the guidance of the young eunuch, they went to the study room of Qianqing Palace.
This is next to the bedroom. Emperor Su He would rest here when he was not visiting his concubine in the palace.
Qu Qingyi saw her son Su Sheng still very nervous when he saw her husband.
She only has two sons in total. The other one is still very young and it is not clear whether he will become a man or not.
The sixth prince, Su Sheng, is obviously a bit cowardly in character and is not the type of person to be a king.
After Qu Qingyi discovered her son's character, she became a little desperate and gave up the fight for the throne.
Su Sheng still has some opportunities because of his age.
The younger princes are left. As long as there is no violent conflict between the emperor and the prince, they have no chance.
Emperor Su He did not expect that the enfeoffment would happen, so he asked Qu Qingyi, who had always been aloof from the world, to come to Qianqing Palace to plead for his son.
He had previously enfeoffed the kings of vassal states, and the princes were still very young, most of them had not been born yet, so they would not be involved in this matter.
Now that the princes have grown up, those who have no intention of competing for the throne think this is an opportunity they cannot miss.
Qu Qingyi said weakly: "Husband, I heard that the empire is going to make a king again and go overseas to establish a country.
If Sheng'er stays in the empire, he is likely to be bullied in the future.
I hope that your husband can allocate a territory to Sheng'er. It doesn't need to be a big territory, as long as it can protect itself."
Emperor Su He looked at the weak Qu Qingyi. Of course he knew the worries of mother and son.
They obviously don't have the ability to compete for the throne. Who knows what the new emperor's attitude will be towards them after he takes office?
Prince Su Shu is quite tolerant, but no one can guarantee the character of the emperor who will succeed him.
Emperor Su He was also happy to see the prince being entrusted overseas.
If the princes hadn't grown up before, he would have divided the princes among themselves and headed overseas.
If America had a prince who founded the country, America would not be in such chaos now.
After Emperor Su He heard Qu Qingyi's request, he did not answer. Instead, he looked at Su Sheng and asked, "Xiao Sheng, you are an adult now, what do you really think?"
He stared at the sixth prince Su Sheng with his eyes, his aura was extremely oppressive.
The sixth prince, Su Sheng, had a slight sweat on his forehead, and his slightly panicked face became even more panicked.
He stumbled and replied: "Father, I want to give it a try.
As the son of the father, the son-in-law must take responsibility.
You must not shrink from moving forward just because of difficulties.
My abilities are indeed lacking, but I will listen carefully to the advice of civil and military officials and will never act recklessly."
Emperor Su He nodded and praised: "Okay, Xiao Sheng has this confidence, and the emperor supports you."
When Su Sheng heard that his father agreed to the enfeoffment, his nervous face immediately returned to a relaxed smile.
Concubine Shu's nervous expression also relaxed.
She was ready, but her husband refused.
She asked the sixth prince Su Sheng to be a mascot similar to the Ming vassal king.
Even if the new emperor wants to clean up the clan, he will keep a few mascots to show his kindness.
Concubine Shu Qu Qingyi did not expect things to go so smoothly.
My husband just asked a few questions and agreed to the matter.
After Concubine Shu Qu Qingyi thanked her, she immediately left with the sixth prince Su Sheng.
Emperor Su He watched Concubine Shu leave. He knew that he would be frequently disturbed by concubines in the harem during this period.
In order to leave a way out for the prince, they all focused on the opportunity of enfeoffment.
Emperor Su He hoped to have more princes who were willing to go to Europe and Arabia to establish countries.
The more direct blood he has, the more orderly these vassal states will become.
In Europe and Arabia, these vassal states encountered enemies with stronger capabilities.
They will not gain a foothold as easily as they did in America and Africa.
In both places, the vassal states needed to go through brutal wars before they could gain a foothold here.
Emperor Su He chose to enfeoff more countries, just like raising gu. These countries formed alliances and annexations with each other through vertical and horizontal alliances.
In the end, several powerful countries will be formed, and they are fully capable of confronting European countries.
The only thing Emperor Su He could do was to ensure the safety of these princes.
After they are defeated, there will be no fear for their lives and they can flee directly to a safe area.
Emperor Su He expected it to be true. The harem learned the news and became uneasy from then on.
They all made various excuses to ask Emperor Su He to entrust the princes they gave birth to overseas.
Emperor Su He knew that these people were fighting openly and secretly, and they used various methods to prevent his prince from getting this opportunity.
But he ignored these small actions.
If you can't handle this small problem well, once you go overseas to build a country, the end will be miserable.
Emperor Su He yawned and looked through a telegram he had just received.
