Although Empress Ma, Prince Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying were the most important beings in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

But the other sons are also biological flesh and blood.

People like Zhu Fan, Zhu Zhen, etc. were so cruel on the vassal land. If it were anyone else, they would have killed the nine tribes long ago, but Zhu Yuanzhang also forgave them again and again.

Zhu Yuanzhang also understood the problem of vassal kings. While conferring vassal kings, he also set up many rules to impose restrictions.

To a large extent, it ensures that the feudal king cannot influence the court.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little worried about his eldest grandson.

Dasun, who seems to be elegant and easy-going, always smiling, is actually a ruthless person, but this one is very similar to himself.

Moreover, the eldest grandson lost his emotional ties to these feudal uncles because he lost his memory and lived outside.

If this was a small mistake made by the feudal princes, Dasun would take action because of it.

As soon as he left, his eldest grandson sent these uncles down to accompany him. What should he do?

In fact, this has always been what Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about, so he thought of letting his eldest grandson live in the palace, especially Yunxi and Mingyue, so that they could slowly develop feelings and truly integrate into them.

After hearing the old man's question, Zhu Ying pondered in her heart for a long time.

Regarding the handling of the feudal king, Zhu Ying actually had an idea for a long time.

In fact, Zhu Ying didn't have much intention of ostracizing the vassal king, these uncles, or his future brothers.

In ancient times, and now in the Ming Dynasty, bloodline was an obstacle that could not be bypassed. Even for the common people, the concept of clan was extremely deep.

Like Emperor Jianwen in history, it seemed very excessive.

"Grandpa, uncles guarding the border is a very good thing. In addition, all uncles have made great contributions to defending the border of the Ming Dynasty."

When Zhu Ying opened her mouth, she set a tone first.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very satisfied and nodded to indicate to Zhu Ying to continue.

"My grandson feels that now that our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, my uncles, or my younger brothers in the future, are not afraid that there will be no place to join the vassal state."

"I just don't hide it from grandpa. When my grandson was still in the Ming Dynasty, he had heard about what many uncles were doing in the vassal area, or was bewitched by others, which caused the governance in the vassal area to be extremely chaotic."

"Even local officials, mostly because of their status as princes, turn a blind eye to this."

"My grandson often thinks about why my uncles became like this after arriving in the feudal territory. Is there any reason for this?"

"After thinking about it, my grandson actually thought of a possibility."

Zhu Ying said slowly, successfully arousing the old man's interest.

"Dasun, tell me what is going on."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked impatiently.

Zhu Yuanzhang really felt a headache for the vassal king causing trouble to the vassal territory.

When most of the princes became vassal queens, their various personalities were undoubtedly exposed, and they were completely different from the good boys they were when they were in the capital.

At first, when he received the memorial from local officials impeaching the vassal princes, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't believe it.

Jin Yiwei was also sent to investigate.

This was not enough. Before his death, Prince Zhu Biao was sent to the vassal territories of the vassal kings to conduct another investigation.

This was something Zhu Yuanzhang had always been troubled about, and he had no other choice but to punish him and hope that he would change his ways.

The crimes committed by Zhu Yuanzhang's notorious sons could be turned into a book.

The most ruthless among them was Zhu Yuanzhang's eighth son, King of Tan Zhu Zi.

Zhu Zi's biological mother was Da Fei, which may sound innocuous, but in fact, this Da Fei was Chen Youliang's concubine.

There were rumors in later generations that Zhu Zi was Chen Youliang's posthumous son. This is of course sheer nonsense.

After all, Zhu Zi was born six years after Chen Youliang died.

The prince of Tan, Zhu Zi, had his fiefdom in Changsha, and the crimes he committed were too numerous to mention. He was considered the worst prince.

When Zhu Zi was in the capital, he was known as handsome, smart and eager to learn.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite fond of him. Changsha Mansion was extremely wealthy, which was enough for Zhu Zi to live a very wealthy life in the vassal territory.

Including Princess Yu, who is also the daughter of Yingshan Marquis Yu Xian.

But just such a prince, five years after becoming a vassal, he and his wife burned themselves on fire, leaving no children or heirs. In the end, the feudal kingdom was abolished.

The "Yu Zhi Fei Lu" compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang himself recorded in detail the absurd crimes of the vassal kings in various places during the Hongwu period. When writing about the Eighth Prince Zhu Zi, his numerous crimes were even recorded.

“Kill Dian Zhan, kill Dian Bo... To make obscene utensils in the palace and teach them to the old women in the palace is all kinds of indecent things.

After Zhu Zi's death, Zhu Yuanzhang, a father who dared to give such evil posthumous titles as "Huang" and "Min" to his sons, did not even give Zhu Zi a posthumous title.

This shows what a big mistake Zhu Zi made.

Why did he set himself on fire out of fear of being implicated in the Hu Weiyong case?

These are just excuses to cover up bigger crimes.

The last sentence in it shows that Zhu Zi has a quirk and likes old women. Perhaps this is why the lustful Zhu Zi has no descendants.

Among them, he must have done something that was against the ethics of heaven and earth, which led to Zhu Zi's self-immolation and the elimination of the country.

Zhu Zi's incident had already happened in the 22nd year of Hongwu.

So at this moment, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard his grandson's thoughts about the vassal kings, he was very eager to know the reason.

Zhu Ying organized his words and said: "From my grandson's personal opinion, this is probably because your uncles were suppressed too harshly by my grandfather when they were in the capital."

"My uncles generally started to join the feudal clan when they were more than ten years old. At this time, they suddenly went to the feudal territory. Without control, their natural temperament would be extremely easy to change drastically."

Teenagers are the time when they are shaping their outlook on life. At this time, the long-suppressed things are suddenly released, and they are far away from their parents and going to a completely unfamiliar place.

Zhu Ying didn't think it was strange at all to have such psychological problems.

"Dasun means that because he is younger, he should be granted vassal status later?" Zhu Yuanzhang said thoughtfully.

The feudal king had no power to govern the local area. Although he had the title of prince, he could not control the people of the fief. At the same time, although he had a salary, he did not participate in the government affairs.

The vassal kings were also extremely powerful. They had their own armies and subordinates.

The output of the military households in the guard station is their main source of income, which is equivalent to that of a large landowner.

Zhu Ying felt that the old man's understanding was quite good, so he said: "My grandson thinks that before taking office, the vassal king should at least give birth to an heir, and perhaps be more stable. This is what is called starting a family and establishing a career."

In fact, in Zhu Ying's view, the vassal king played the role of a father in the capital until he gave birth to an heir. When he arrived in the vassal territory, he might not be so cruel.

The feeling of having children is completely different from not having children.

After men have children, they generally become more responsible and gradually become more patient in the process of raising children.

Zhu Ying felt that even if the vassal king wanted to take over the vassal, he would have to wait until the child reached five years old.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Dasun with a strange look at this moment.

This was something he had never thought of.

But if I think about it carefully, I think it makes perfect sense.

Thinking about the completely different mood I had when I learned that my eldest son Zhu Biao was born, I became much more powerful in future battles.

Thinking about it this way, maybe it would be a good choice to let the feudal king give birth to the child first and then join the feudal clan.

The reason why he looked at the eldest grandson with a strange look was because the eldest grandson had never given birth to a child, so how could he understand such a delicate idea.

In fact, Zhu Ying was also single in her previous life. The reason why she had such an idea was of course learned from movies and TV shows.

What kind of gangster has a child and the prodigal son turns back? The man who originally wanted to be quiet suddenly has hope after having a child.

After returning home after a tiring day, I immediately become energetic when I see my children, etc.

If you have never eaten pork, how can you never see a pig running?

Mainly, the current feudal lords will be left to future generations as nothing more than a group of high school students.

It seems unreliable to ask a group of high school students to go hundreds or even thousands of miles away to join the feudal clan.

"Okay, Grandson's idea is indeed good. We have never thought about this before. Currently, our ten sons are planning to become a vassal next year. From this point of view, we should let them get married first."

"By the way, they are all training under Dasun now. Does Dasun know something about their training?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang praised it, he asked.

Zhu Ying replied: "After all, uncles who are all grandchildren, although they are probably a little worse than the soldiers, they are still very good at reaching the level they are now. At least for now, no one complains about it.

Already."

When Zhu Ying said these words, she still sighed a little.

He originally thought that there would be a few pricks who couldn't stand it anymore, so they gave up and ran away.

Unexpectedly, although there were some small tricks, almost no one was messing around, and everyone was honest, which made some of Zhu Ying's follow-up preparations useless.

That’s why I just practiced and didn’t care too much.

"My eldest grandson knows that almost all the uncles who were trained by you already know your current identity."
