"To inform my father, I would like to petition for the enfeoffment of Southern Xinjiang, personally lead the army, regain my homeland for the Ming Dynasty, and keep the place forever!"
Headed by Zhu Gui, the thirteenth son of the Ming Dynasty clan, and followed by the fourteenth son Zhu Kai, the fifteenth son Zhu Zhi, the sixteenth son Zhu Zhu, and the seventeenth son Zhu Quan, a total of five people stood up, bowed and clasped their fists, and made a request to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The five princes asked the emperor to change the title of Southern Xinjiang to the place of Yongzhen!
For a moment, everyone including Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.
Southern Xinjiang, a place with countless snakes and flies, high mountains and miasma, has been the place where criminals were exiled since ancient times. If an idler is given an official title in the Lingnan area, it is almost equivalent to being demoted.
As for the clans of the Ming Dynasty, since the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, except for the princes of Sai who have been enfeoffed in the north to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty, the rest have been enfeoffed in rich lands.
How did this happen today?
The clans of the Ming Dynasty actually rushed to change their titles to places like southern Xinjiang that no one cared about.
The five people from Zhu Gui spoke, and the younger ones were not to be outdone. They all shouted that they wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to also seal them to the southern Xinjiang, and also wanted to regain the lost territory for the Ming Dynasty.
This is militancy, this is to promote the use of force to rule the country!
Liu Sanwu screamed in his heart that something was wrong, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the country attaches great importance to the country and the people. A country that has conquered hundreds of battles has never seen a permanent victory. It has been twenty-four years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty has worked hard to start a business. This is the time. When the world is under great rule, if the north and the south fight together, the national treasury will be in trouble and the people will suffer, and the prosperous Ming Dynasty will be far away!"
Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs who came with Zhu Yuanzhang today, saw Liu Sanwu opening his mouth, and immediately stepped forward with clasped fists: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has been marching northward continuously, and the national treasury is stretched thin, but with Your Majesty in charge of the country, we can only manage to maintain it. If we do it again at this time, If we launch an expedition to southern Xinjiang, we may find it difficult to maintain our national strength.”
I saw two people objecting one after another.
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said: "Grandpa, my grandson knows that our Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition is continuing at this time, and the Yuan people must be driven away. There is no rush to regain the homeland of the southern border in one day. The Thirteenth Uncle and others are loyal to the Ming Dynasty's national affairs, Dare to be the first. This is the example of our Ming Dynasty clan and a model for all people in the world. We should encourage you."
Now he has gained the support of the generals, and has Fang Xiaoru, a scholar and scholar, as his mentor.
If these good uncles from the clan are included in the pocket now.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi finally glanced lightly at Zhu Yunwen, who had been standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at the imperial grandfather in front of him, and immediately walked out: "Emperor, the southern Xinjiang is far away from Yingtian. If our army wants to use troops, the support will be slow and the transportation of the baggage will be difficult. Even if the national treasury is full, the troops and baggage will be used. I'm afraid more than half of it will be spent on travel. In this way, if you can't make ends meet, I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult for the court."
As he spoke, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhu Yunxi not far away.
There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
After all, he is young and does not understand how difficult the government is. Can Grandpa Huang conquer the Ming Dynasty with just his passion? It is really ridiculous to go on a militaristic approach without considering these practical issues!
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways at Zhu Yunwen, feeling confused for a while.
Is this his royal grandson?
It's so...
They look so much like these old Confucians who spend their days moaning and going militaristic!
Thinking in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Sanwu who was aside.
"What happened today is that all the princes were loyal to the country and showed great bravery. I am very pleased!"
"Your Majesty and Grandson Yunxi, every word and deed is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. We are very happy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately spoke and praised Zhu Gui and others as well as Zhu Yunxi, and then changed his tone: "However, the princes and the emperor's grandson are not yet adults, so they should not arbitrarily discuss the government and state affairs. They should focus on their own duties and study diligently." Ask, and protect the Ming Dynasty and the country for us in the future."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the courtiers present: "Today is just a chat among the children of the clan, not about national affairs."
It's not a matter of state, just casual conversation.
If it is spread out, it will be just a piece of cake.
Liu Sanwu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor was not encouraged to launch the southern expedition after the northern expedition.
Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
The imperial court was constantly at war every year. The first Northern Expedition had just stopped, and preparations for the next Northern Expedition were under way.
This happens every year, so he, the Minister of Household Affairs, has to work hard.
Why not everyone close the door and sort out the world in Yingtian City and recuperate.
"My son, I respectfully send you my father."
"My grandson sends my grandfather off."
By the time Zhu Yunxi raised his head, Zhu Yuanzhang had already led the people away and disappeared in front of the main hall.
At the scene, only he and a group of uncles were left, as well as a few Ohontang gentlemen led by Fang Xiaoru.
Zhu Yunxi hurried forward and wanted to entrust Fang Xiaoru to him, but he was stopped by the other party who smiled and shook his head.
"I'm not too old to be a teacher yet. Let's go to the main hall. Classes start today!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and respectfully obeyed: "Student knows."
The group of people had only entered the main hall one by one until now.
Zhu Yunwen, who was at the back, felt extremely angry.
Zhu Yunxi was so bold today that he encouraged his uncles in the clan to launch a military expedition against southern Xinjiang.
Grandpa Huang actually picked it up and put it down gently.
In the end, he even said that Zhu Yunxi was wholeheartedly serving the Ming Dynasty!
Is this really unreasonable? There has never been such a reason in the world!
Now, Fang Xiaoru, who has always been known as a new scholar in the scholarly world, has also fallen in love with Zhu Yunxi. There seems to be a relationship between the two of them as master and disciple!
The more Zhu Yunwen thought about it, the more depressed he felt. He wished he could not stay in this main hall for even a moment. He just wanted to find a place to be happy and let go of everything.
Everyone arrived and sat separately in the main hall.
Fang Xiaoru felt a different feeling in her heart when she looked at the princes and grandsons in front of her.
Come to think of it, I came to Beijing this year just to visit friends, but I didn't expect that I accidentally entered the palace and became the master of the clan's main hall.
He looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting in the middle seat according to his height.
But he put down the textbook he had prepared in his hand, faced the students here, and asked: "Previously, the princes asked for an order to change the southern border of the country, and the emperor's grandson also said that my Ming Dynasty clan should be the southern border of the country. Where do you think about it? We’re starting from here, can you tell me where to come?”
He was a clan vassal king who supported the Ming Dynasty, and his country was located in a frontier fortress rather than a rich country in the Central Plains.
If not, the imperial court and His Majesty may be able to control these clan kings now, but what about in the future?
The power of the vassal king in the feudal country almost exceeds that of the imperial court. If there are a few more vicious people, it will be a disaster for the people of the world.
In addition, once the clan becomes a vassal, almost all the output of the feudal state will support the vassal king, and the court will have nothing to gain. The further we go, the more money and food the imperial court receives, the less money and food it will receive.
However, although he was not as stubborn as Liu Sanwu about the Ming Dynasty's conquest of foreign lands, he was still a little hesitant.
When it comes to national affairs, we should be vigilant about military matters.
Zhu Yunxi smiled. He knew that Fang Xiaoru's words were actually about himself.
Rather than leaving Zhu Gui and the others unable to explain the reason, it would be better for them to explain it themselves.
"Sir, the student would like to ask first, what do you think land is?"
