"Master Su, are you sure what you are talking about? What you are talking about is not the enfeoffment of vassal kings, but the enfeoffment system of the emperor of Zhou who restored it!"
"Yes, Mr. Su, it happened thousands of years ago, but now you want to bring it out and put it in the present?"
"This is simply decadent and decadent!"
Zhu Gaoying's reaction was also very consistent with the conjecture of the DPRK ministers.
"Su Wu, do you know that you are restoring the old system!"
Zhu Gaoyan looked like he was very angry,
"Your Majesty, please calm down. There must be truth to what Mr. Su said. Why don't you let him talk about it?"
Zhang Yingzhen listened silently. Although Zhu Gaoying allowed her to participate in government affairs, she was still forced by the previous etiquette and did not participate in any speeches.
Zhang Yingzhen doesn't want to break the thousands of years of rules established by her ancestors.
"Okay, Su Wu, you have to give me a reasonable explanation this time!"
Zhu Gaoying took another look at the ministers of the DPRK. These newly selected officials did not learn anything useful for the first time in the DPRK. Instead, they learned to follow the trend and take sides!
"Your Majesty, if we follow the enfeoffment system, then these enfeoffed vassal kings will be equivalent to a small king in their own territory!"
"As the rulers of their own territory, they will definitely defend their territory to the death, and if their territory is limited to one county at the beginning, the rest of the land they conquer will belong to themselves!"
"In this way, we can stabilize the minds of the vassal kings and guard the border. Secondly, we can prevent foreign invasions and prevent the lords and surrounding ministers from colluding with foreign races!"
The first statement makes sense, and the second statement also makes sense.
If the national treasury is really empty and unable to support the mobilization of large-scale armies for a long time, then it seems feasible to hand over the army to these vassal kings.
After all, even if they were nothing, they were still relatives of the emperor. How could the vassals of the Ming Dynasty collude with those foreign races?
At that time, I am afraid that if someone shares the same hatred with foreign tribes, even if His Majesty does not say anything, he will inevitably be besieged by other vassal kings.
"And if they want to conquer such a large territory, they will inevitably expand outward!"
"Shut up!"
Seeing that Zhu Gaotian had almost finished speaking, all the bait had been thrown out, waiting for them to take the bait.
And the first ones who couldn't sit still were probably not the vassal kings, but the ministers in the court.
Zhu Gaojing's voice was loud and clear, and Su Wu immediately pointed out his words.
"Don't say any more. I have made up my mind. This matter is absolutely impossible. The vassal king will do a lot of harm to my Ming Dynasty and not a single benefit!"
"If anyone else dares to mention this matter to me, he will be killed without mercy!"
Zhu Gaoying pretended to be extremely angry, stood up with a slap on the table, and walked straight off the throne.
"Retreat!"
Zhang Yingzhen followed Zhu Gaoyan and quickly comforted them. After all, the show had to be comprehensive. Zhang Yingzhen also knew their plan and could not expose it in front of outsiders.
Seeing Zhu Gaoying leaving, the ministers also dispersed, but many people still came to Su Wu.
"Master Su, you have completely angered His Majesty!"
"Yes, Mr. Su, please think twice about what you do. If it weren't for His Majesty's Korean banquet, I'm afraid if it were us, we would have been dragged outside the Meridian Gate and beheaded!"
They were all worried about Su Wu, fearing that Su Wu would accidentally take advantage of them.
"My lords, Su Wu is considering the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. In short, my opinion, Su, will not change!"
Su Wu's words were sending a signal.
After all, who knows whether these ministers are willing to see the emergence of enfeoffment or not.
And the news from the court will probably be sent to all the border areas overnight.
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!"
Su Wu rejected everyone's request, and before leaving, he left such a puzzling sentence.
At the same time, Zhu Gaotian and Zhang Yingzhen also returned to the harem.
"Your Majesty, you and Mr. Su performed so well. If I hadn't known about it a long time ago, I would have thought..."
"Do you really think I'm really angry?"
Zhu Gaotian pinched Zhang Yingzhen's nose,
"The drama in the court today has been completed, and I don't know how the vassals from all over the country will react!"
And Zhu Gaoying also needs to arm the Ming army in his hands to the teeth within this year, and then raise enough military pay to rush to the frontier non-stop!
Of course, this also depends on the development progress of the vassal kings in various places. If their development is much slower than expected, then this period can be extended appropriately.
"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about something."
"Just tell me what you are thinking about. Even if it is a star in the sky, I can pick it off for you!"
"His Majesty……"
As an ancient woman, how could Zhang Yingzhen have ever heard of such sweet talk from today?
Zhang Yingzhen burst into tears immediately,
"Your Majesty, I am actually thinking that I am the only one in this huge harem, and there is no sister who can chat or play with me on weekdays. It is deserted and deserted, which really makes people feel lonely!"
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, help me find a few more sisters and stay with me in the harem to relieve my boredom?"
With three rooms and six courtyards in the harem, which emperor does not have many wives and concubines?
Now there is only Zhang Yingzhen in Zhu Gaotian's harem, which is really unjustifiable in the past dynasties.
"What are you thinking about? My heart is very small. It's enough to accommodate just one of you. I can't accommodate more than you!"
Zhang Yingzhen looked at Zhu Gaoyan with affection. She didn't expect that His Majesty would be so infatuated with me, but Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all, and you cannot put all your thoughts on a woman like me!
Therefore, Zhang Yingzhen became more determined to expand the hospital for Zhu Gaotian's harem.
"I know that your Majesty has a concubine in his heart, but when there are always old people in Shen Ji, your Majesty always needs some young women."
"Moreover, having more concubines can also help us carry on the family line better!"
"You alone are enough for me, and why do I need so many descendants? If there are too many, they will compete with each other for fame, wealth, and imperial power. It makes me feel upset!"
Zhu Gaotian's debt to Zhang Yingzhen has not yet been made up in his heart. Even if he wants to take in some more concubines, he still has to make up for it after making up for Zhang Yingzhen!
"If my beloved concubine feels bored, you can bring more maids for a walk outside, or come and help me handle government affairs!"
In short, Zhu Gaoyan's meaning is very clear now. I only want you now, even if I look for other concubines, it will be a year later!
"Don't talk. I am the emperor and you are my beloved concubine. You must listen to whatever I say!"
"This is an order! Don't talk about the concubine anymore!"
"Also, I still have some things to deal with. My beloved, please rest here for a while!"
