Chapter 312: Female, Queen?

There is still King Qin left.

King Qin...

"Xiao Wang should go to Beijing!"

King Qin said humbly.

As for whether he is Zhu Shangbing or Zhu Shanglie...

Of course it is Zhu Shangbing. His uncles, his mother, his brothers, and his aunts all unanimously confirmed that he was Zhu Shangbing, so of course he was Zhu Shangbing. As for the folk rumors that King Qin had been beaten to death by Ambassador Yang in the Huaihe River, that was just

The King of Qin doesn't know about this thief who lies about the King of Qin. Don't spread rumors all the time.

His mother says he is Zhu Shangbing, who of you knows him better than his mother?

He is Zhu Shangbing.

As for Zhu Shangli, he just died of illness half a month ago.

The imperial doctor sent by the queen fell ill and died before crossing the Huaihe River.

He already has a posthumous title.

King Yijian of Yongxing.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to think about it anymore. Prince Qing doesn't want to go. Your Majesty, you can go!"

Yang Feng said.

Zhu Shangbing looked at his fourth uncle...

"Well, Xiao Wang is young and has always studied literature. He has no ability to conquer, so I won't drag my fourth uncle down."

He shook his head without hesitation.

Yang Feng was uneasy and well-intentioned. If he really went there, he might die suddenly one day. How could he be allowed to sit beside his fourth uncle's bed? He was young and still had a great life to enjoy, but he couldn't be like his brother who had a brain that was in trouble.

Deceive yourself to death.

Uh, what brother?

Isn't he the boss?

He doesn't have any older brothers, he is the eldest son.

Yang Feng sighed regretfully, feeling helpless that he could not fool a fool.

At this point, the kings' problems have been solved, and everyone has accepted a bright future...

Although it is forced.

After all, Yang Feng is sitting there, what else can he do if he doesn't accept it?

"Come on, sign!"

Ambassador Yang put the scroll forward and opened it.

This is a new version of the clan system covenant that he personally drafted.

As for Lao Zhu’s...

Of course his cannot be overturned.

But just like the U.S. Constitution, although not a word can be changed, it can be supplemented by an explanation. Lao Zhu’s clan system is a law established by the ancestors, and it cannot be changed, but everyone is voluntary! He did confer the title of King of Qin, and this cannot be changed.

But the King of Qin did not want to stay in Shaanxi and voluntarily came to live in the capital. The King of Qin was still the King of Qin. He just couldn't stand the wind and sand in Guan Guan, but he liked the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. As a junior emperor, he had to respect his request, but this was of his own free will, and it was definitely not anything.

The king of Shu is still the king of Shu, but as the son of Emperor Taizu Gao, with the blood of opening up new territories and expanding the territory, he is willing to run to Yunnan and prepare to use his own hands even if the country of Tianfu in Sichuan is not waiting.

, to carve out a territory for oneself, of course this must be respected.

This proves that Taizu’s sons were all heroes.

This is admirable.

The blood is still not cold.

hero!

In short, they are all voluntary.

Of course, the content of the reform is not limited to these.

In addition, the salaries and vassal fields of each vassal have also been fixed. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already decided to change the salary to be fixed for each vassal. It is not that Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that future generations would continue to multiply, and the population would continue to grow, and the salary would continue to increase.

The problem is, he is already limiting his salary.

The feudal lord also changed the tax collection from rent collection, and the imperial court collected it on his behalf.

As for hereditary titles...

Those who are willing to be knighted from generation to generation should be knighted.

Anyway, no matter how many titles you have, the final salary will still be the same. You can allocate it within a vassal. You can also participate in the imperial examination or join the army without being knighted. If you are knighted, this will definitely not work. After all, you cannot stand up to a prince, but

You need to go to a local place to be a county magistrate, but if you don't need a title, you can just be a clan member. However, you still need to be a vassal, because a vassal state is a vassal state. For example, the lineage of the King of Qin is a member of the Qin vassal. If you want to be an official in the court, then

They had no choice but to leave the Qin vassal. In short, a series of restrictive measures finally made these clans disappear from the crowd, forcing them to choose to leave the vassal by themselves. After all, they would not have a salary if they stayed in the vassal, tens of thousands of dan a year, but the vassal king lived a more luxurious life.

, I guess the clan below can’t even drink soup.

But if you leave the domain, you will be a free man.

You can be an official, a military officer, a businessman, and not to mention anything else. With this clan status, you can be very comfortable even as the son-in-law of a wealthy family.

Leaving the feudal clan only meant leaving the feudal status, but they were still members of the clan.

It's still on the jade certificate.

In the future, wealthy businessmen who are greedy for vanity will pay a huge dowry and get a clan member as their son-in-law. Even if they go out to meet officials, they can be tougher. After all, clan crimes are not under the control of local officials. Although they cannot really break the law, they still have a weak waist.

It's the same. If the reproduction continues like this, the vassal kings will basically be able to retain a backbone, and those below will break away from the vassal status and become ordinary people with clan titles. The clan problem that has caused countless disasters in the Ming Dynasty's history will also be solved.

No longer exists.

As for those who went out to develop, they had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty and were basically equivalent to vassal states.

It's just that it has a close connection with the Ming Dynasty.

After all, when they went out to conquer and develop, they had to rely on the support of the Ming Dynasty. Similarly, even if they occupied a vast territory and wanted to suppress their subjects, they still had to rely on immigrants from the Ming Dynasty.

Alien conquest!

It's all like this.

They must use various superior conditions to attract immigrants from the Ming Dynasty to form the basis of their rule.

"But there is one more thing. The Ming Dynasty regards God Haotian as its god. Even if the kings go out, this point must be strictly observed. If anyone disrespects God Haotian, the whole world will attack him."

Yang Feng said seriously.

"Ambassador, is this unnecessary?"

Zhu Di said.

He is a smart man.

If he wants to have easier control when he goes to the Western Regions, the best way is to use ghosts like Guilichi, who worship the Buddha.

"Your Majesty, this is an ancestral system."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"It's not a big deal either. We originally wanted to sacrifice to heaven."

King Liao said.

The other feudal lords expressed their indifference.

In this case, Zhu Di had no choice but to accept it. Anyway, it would not affect his worship of Buddha. His father worshiped heaven, and it did not delay his mother's worship of Buddha. He also planned to build a top-notch temple for his mother in Ili, and then build a towering pagoda.

Liuli. Let his royal city become a holy place worshiped by the entire grassland, a temple that all herdsmen look up to. He will also become a god worshiped by Mongolia and Wala, just like Li Shimin's Tian Khan. Of course, worshiping the sky is also a must, anyway, Mongolia and Wala

The Walas also worship the Changsheng Heaven. For the Han people, they are worshiping the God Haotian. For the Mongolians and Wala, they are worshiping the Changsheng Heaven. There is no need to make the distinction too clear.

Of course, he didn't know that what Yang Feng really wanted to restrict was something else.

A hero like him would quickly realize when he went to the Western Regions that as long as he could be like Timur, the difficulty of conquest would be directly halved, and he would even quickly gain the allegiance of those powerful men.

He would soon replace Timur.

After all, Timur was not actually liked by those powerful men, they just had no choice.

But if Zhu Di changes, they will easily abandon Timur and switch to this new overlord.

This is a good thing for him.

But for Yang Feng, this is absolutely intolerable.

So let's just write it down in black and white. If Zhu Di turns in a certain direction, then the army will be mobilized immediately and the whole world will fight against it, including Zhu Di's descendants.

The whole world will attack together.

In addition, the kings had the right to supervise the emperor.

This was proposed by Zhu Di and unanimously agreed by the vassal kings.

The vassals who stay in the country will be responsible for supervising the emperor's governance. If the emperor's failure to govern the country leads to chaos in the world and the Zhu family is in danger of overthrowing, then they have the right to invite the vassals outside to lead troops to save the country. After all,

The Zhu family's empire is the most important. Although they now recognize the right of inheritance and no longer compete for the throne, if the branch that inherits the throne cannot guarantee the Zhu family's empire, then of course the collateral line has the right to safeguard the country.

In the final analysis, Zhu Di still refused to give up.

His fundamental purpose in going to the Western Regions was to wait for the opportunity. Even if he couldn't wait, his descendants could.

As long as the future emperor brings chaos to the country, he or his descendants can still take this covenant and try to take over the Central Plains.

Let him do whatever he wants!

Yang Feng didn't care anyway.

In fact, this is not a bad thing. The future emperors will always have a knife hanging over their heads. After all, Yang Feng will not be able to live forever. In the future, this country will still have to develop on its own. Although he can gradually let this country through reforms,

The country's transition to the era of constitutional monarchy is at the very least, but various possibilities will eventually arise in the future.

But if there is always pressure from the outside, then the rulers will eventually have to restrain themselves.

Likewise, the absence of foreign aggression will not lead to the rapid weakening of the entire country...

This is extremely possible.

At present, the Ming Dynasty has looked around and is self-centered. There is no enemy worthy of being an opponent. The Mongols surrendered, the Jurchens surrendered, the Japanese surrendered, and Annan surrendered. Even Timur, who was the only one in history who could threaten the Ming Dynasty, in terms of experience

After the Second Western Expedition, it no longer posed a threat.

After Zhu Di passed away, it was Timur who should have trouble sleeping and eating.

In this case, it's time to put the swords and guns in storage and let the horses go to Nanshan.

It is this kind of thinking that makes the northern military households not want to stay in the north. They just think that the enemy has been eliminated and they should not be allowed to defend in those bitter and cold places. In the future, this kind of thinking will become more and more common, which is why Yang

The reason why Feng chose to focus on business development next was that he could only use profits to ensure the country's martial spirit.

But this way…

This method also requires external equivalent enemies!

It's useless to fight the law and order war.

It would not be bad to let Zhu Di's descendants serve as this imaginary enemy.

"signature!"

Yang Feng pushed the scroll.

The little princess was the first to sign on behalf of the Queen of the Jianguo. She was symbolic and had to be stamped with the jade seal anyway. Then King Yan, as the eldest of the kings and Zongzheng of the clan, signed and sealed it. He also had his own vassal seal, and the rest

The kings signed and sealed one by one. Finally, Yang Feng, as the envoy of Daxia to the Ming Dynasty, signed and sealed the notary. Of course, he carved the seal himself.

This covenant is now completed.

From now on, if this thing is to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, each feudal king's family will receive a piece of gold.

"Look, it's great like this. We are all a family. We should sit down and talk like this. There is nothing we can't talk about."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

The kings all smiled...

If he couldn't kill everyone at any time, who would sit down and talk!

Emperor!

Since ancient times, it has been done by those with strong soldiers and horses.

The reason why we can sit down and talk is not because we are sure that we can't beat him. If we are sure that we can beat him, we have already used force to solve the problem.

At this time, Zhang Ying hurriedly went upstairs...

"Princess, come into the palace quickly, the queen is about to give birth!"

she shouted anxiously.

Well?

Everyone looked at each other.

Then everyone's eyes turned to Zhu Di.

"Fourteenth sister, hurry up and go, Ambassador, just let me wait for these things. There won't be no food and wine on Wutai Mountain! Let's just get drunk and rest."

Zhu Di said calmly.

The other feudal princes all agreed with subtle expressions.

This means that Zhu Di has really given up fighting for the throne.

After all, the queen may not necessarily give birth to a boy. If Zhu Di still wants to fight for the throne, he must quickly bring the kings into the palace. If the queen gives birth to a girl, he will naturally succeed to the throne, but the premise is that Yang Feng cannot be replaced.

The opportunity. But now it is completely left to the little princess, that is, Yang Feng has the final say. If it is a boy, of course it will be the new king. If it is a girl, she must be turned into a boy. Maybe the spare one will be ready by this time.

"Yes, drink!"

Yang Feng said.

The little princess hurriedly followed Zhang Ying and left.

But two hours later, she came back with a calm face.

"It's a false alarm, I just said it's not the day yet!"

she said.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first!"

Zhu Di stood up and said.

The other vassal kings left one after another, and only the King of Liao stayed.

After watching them leave, the little princess grabbed Yang Feng's arm without hesitation and looked at him with a crazy expression...

"The trouble is big, it's a daughter!"

she said anxiously.

Her brother stepped forward in shock, but Yang Feng sat down calmly.

"A daughter is a daughter, this kind of thing is God's will."

he said.

He had already been mentally prepared, after all, he was a daughter in history.

"No, change it!"

King Liao said.

Yang Feng and the little princess looked at him in astonishment.

"It's no big deal. I'll find a boy to replace him with for a few months. I have two concubines who are both pregnant. I can always give birth to a boy, and then switch them back. From now on, I will still be of Zhu family blood. The fourth brother on the left and right has given up, and the others

The vassal king does not have this strength, and if Yun Wen wants to fight against him, he will not know this."

King Liao said.

Well, he was already prepared.

"You decide!"

Yang Feng looked at the little princess and said.

The method of the King of Liao is indeed feasible. Anyway, Zhu Yunxi is the only descendant. He gave birth to a daughter. This is God's will. If there is no other way, he will temporarily find a baby boy to replace him. He will tell the outside world that he is a prince, and the palace will definitely be early.

It's under control and won't leak out.

Besides, leaks are not important anymore. Zhu Di has given up. The other kings have no strength. Zhu Yunwen...

Does Zhu Yunwen, a traitor, have a say?

Then this baby ascends the throne, and the only thing left is to wait a few months, and the King of Liao will give birth to a son and then replace him. He will still bear the identity of Zhu Yunxi's son. What can be done with this kind of baby in a few months? When he grows up, he will still be the emperor.

It’s still the Zhu family.

Although the King of Liao could not be the emperor, in fact, his son was the emperor, and he was satisfied.

but……

Yang Feng should not interfere.

He is an outsider and cannot get involved in this kind of thing.

"Why can't it be the Queen?"

The little princess said suddenly.

"F-Queen?"

Her brother was stunned.
