The faces of Zhu Zhu and the other six kings of Nanyang were almost turning green.
It was actually the solution proposed by Prince Zhu Gaoxu that put them in a dilemma.
If you want to solve the problem of religious belief in Nanyang, you can. The imperial court sends commissioners to open Confucian schools and promote Confucian culture.
But the condition is that the outstanding children selected by these schools must come to the central court to take the imperial examination, and then enter the central court to serve as officials!
What's the difference between this and following them to seal off the country and seize talents?
After seeing the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, those outstanding children in the feudal country would still want to return to the barren place of their own feudal country!
Although I hate to admit it, this is the fact!
After years of development, the feudal kingdoms of the various kings were far behind the Central Ming Dynasty, let alone compared with the capital.
If they really agree to this solution, I'm afraid they will face the dilemma of having no one to help them in the future, and they will be controlled and controlled by the central court for the rest of their lives!
But if you don’t agree, how should you solve the issue of religious belief?
Compared with having no one to help them, religious belief makes them more frightened!
After all, this hidden danger is enough to shake the rule of these vassal kings in their own country!
From time to time, a religious figure would appear, preach those religious remarks, and then call on the native barbarians to resist!
Who can guarantee that there will be a day in the future when their rule at home and abroad will be overthrown?
Therefore, the lesser of two evils, the issue of religious belief is the biggest hidden danger that truly threatens the kings!
As for the problem of talents being plundered, the kings can find ways to retain them. At the worst, they can offer huge profits or use family members to threaten them. Anyway, there are many ways to keep those outstanding disciples.
But when faced with the problem of religious belief, Zhu Ju and the other six kings of Nanyang really had no choice!
When he thought of this, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu felt a little depressed.
It would be great if King Zhao Zhu Gaosui were here!
With the temperament of this Nanyang King and his relationship with the Crown Prince, he can fight for the Seven Nanyang Kingdoms no matter what!
However, Zhu Gaosui went to North America and could not come back for a while. Now that they were facing the extremely powerful prince, they could only hold their noses and accept it.
"In that case, please ask the imperial court to send commissioners immediately to open a Confucian school!"
Zhu Ju finally made the decision and recognized this solution on behalf of the seven Nanyang countries.
After all, he has no right to choose at all!
Although the other five kings of Nanyang were unwilling to do so, they also knew that they had to do this, otherwise they would arouse the resentment of Prince Zhu Gaoxu, and then everything would be over!
At this point, the solution was unanimously approved, and Zhu Gaoxu also smiled and nodded.
In this way, the problems raised by these overseas vassal kings have generally been solved.
The most important problems are the lack of Han people and Nanyang religious beliefs in the feudal country.
For a time, all the kings were quite happy. After all, their main goal of entering the capital this time had been achieved.
Zhu Gaoxu also spoke at this moment and said a shocking thing.
"Your problem will be solved by Gu."
"But everything is about helping each other, so you should also help me solve a problem!"
Hearing this, all the kings were dumbfounded.
Help you solve the problem?
Your majestic prince, what other difficulties can you encounter?
"The content is very simple. You just need to stay in the capital for a while and do everything you can to make His Majesty the Emperor happy. That's all!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the kings changed drastically, and their faces were full of horror.
Their focus is not on staying in the capital, but on making His Majesty the Emperor happy!
In other words, the rumors that the kings heard before after entering the capital are probably all true!
His Majesty the Emperor's deadline is approaching and he will die soon!
All the feudal kings turned pale when they thought of this terrible guess.
As the saying goes, once the emperor and one courtier, if His Majesty the Emperor were to fly to the west, and the prince in front of him came to power, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty would undergo huge changes as a result!
These overseas vassal kings will inevitably be affected by the change of power in the central court!
After all, this is a change of power, and it is also a change of the central court!
All the kings were a little uneasy, and their eyes looking at Zhu Gaoxu were full of fear!
This prince will be sitting on the dragon chair soon!
Zhu Gaoxu had a panoramic view of their performance and didn't explain too much.
Some things don’t have to be said out loud, it just needs to be understood by everyone.
"Once this person gets old, he becomes sentimental and likes to miss his relatives and friends in the past."
"Especially uncles like you, Fourth Prince, it is best to take time to visit the emperor more, chat and eat with him, and reminisce about the past."
"This task shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the kings, and all the vassal kings nodded immediately.
If they were dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxu before, now all dissatisfaction has disappeared and turned into awe from the bottom of their hearts!
This is the difference between a prince and an emperor!
If you offend the prince, you may not die!
But if you offend His Majesty the Emperor, you will die!
The successive emperors of the Lao Zhu family, whether it was Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Jianwen, or Emperor Yongle, were all famous for being mean, ungrateful, and ruthless!
The meeting of kings is over.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately summoned Yang Shiqi.
After all, this talented man made great contributions to Zhu Gaoxu in the war to seize the throne.
Later, it was precisely because of this that Yang Shiqi was hated by Emperor Yongle and had to flee to Southeast Asia to protect himself!
Now that Yang Shiqi has entered Beijing again, Zhu Gaoxu has not yet decided whether he should give Yang Shiqi the reward he deserves and order him to enter the center of the cabinet and take charge of power!
After all, Yang Shiqi is different from Yang Rong. This prime minister and assistant minister has never concealed his ambition!
Yang Shiqi hurried over and then fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty Yang Shiqi, please pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Okay, get up quickly, you have suffered a lot these years!"
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, indicating that Yang Shiqi didn't need to be polite.
After Yang Shiqi got up, he sat on the brocade stool and waited for the prince's lecture.
However, Zhu Gaoxu never spoke, and Yang Shiqi naturally did not dare to say a word. The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Shiqi quietly for a long time, and finally sighed.
"Husky, I just want to ask you a question."
"If Ruogu lets you enter the cabinet, will there be a Ming Dynasty Prime Minister in the cabinet in time?"
This is what Zhu Gaoxu is most worried about, and it is also the reason why he does not dare to reuse Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi is too ambitious and unscrupulous in his actions.
Even though the cabinet has been restructured, this has no binding force on Yang Shiqi at all!
If Yang Shiqi enters the cabinet, he will probably become the head of the cabinet in a short time, and even Yang Rong will not be able to suppress him!
Yang Shiqi is a smart man, so he also understands his current situation.
Without any hesitation, Yang Shiqi knelt down again.
"The Ming Dynasty will no longer have a prime minister. This is the prohibition of Emperor Taizu Gao!"
"I don't know how to serve as Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. I only want to be His Highness's arm!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu sighed again.
Even a fool can understand Yang Shiqi's statement.
"That's all."
"Let's stay in the capital from now on!"
Yang Shiqi was instantly overjoyed.
"I am determined to die for His Highness!"
