After hearing this, Zhu Di smiled knowingly and said, "Zhunzhuo, since the heavenly official has some advice, there is no harm in saying it."

"Your Majesty, Prince Ning."

Jian Yi cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"Since ancient times, emperors of all dynasties must be rewarded for their merits and punished for their mistakes! His Highness Prince Ning has made great contributions to the dynasty and deserves heavy rewards."

"As we all know, there is a bitter and cold place outside the Great Wall. It would be very unfair and even more inappropriate for His Highness Prince Ning to continue to live outside!"

"Not only His Majesty can't bear it, but also the ministers and ministers in the government and the public are gossiping about it."

"If they have a deep brotherly love and cannot see each other day and night, it is better to leave His Majesty Prince Ning in the capital. His Majesty can give him a mansion, money, beautiful women, etc. for Prince Ning to use as he pleases."

Look, it sounds better when spoken than when sung.

Zhu Quan was stunned when he heard this!

Damn it, who wants to stay in the capital and be monitored by the fourth brother's guards?

From the moment he entered, Xu Qin had been secretly observing King Ning.

There are not many historical records about King Ning.

He is Zhu Di's seventeenth half-brother.

The biological mother is Concubine Yang.

He was granted the title of king at the age of thirteen and became a vassal at the age of fifteen.

It is said in literature and history that he was talented in both civil and military affairs. He was intelligent and supernatural since he was a child, and was known as a strange scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

During the period of suppressing the vassal, he fought bravely and had high prestige.

Zhu Quan, who entered Xu Qin's eyes, had a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, was young and handsome, had a handsome face, was full of heaven, and had the aura of a king.

A person like him should be a man of deep scheming, dissatisfied with the status quo, and ambitious.

But he could hold back.

He is currently the only member of the royal family who can rival Zhu Di.

The twenty-four-year-old Prince Ning and the forty-two-year-old Zhu Di stood together like son and father.

Yao Guangxiao was right, this person must be guarded against.

In order to make a living for everyone in the world, Xu Qin felt that he could not sit idle and talk, so he had to speak up to add fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the fiefdom of His Highness Prince Ning, Daning, can still be retained in name, and the salary will remain the same."

"And the land under the jurisdiction of Daning Dusi can be used as pasture, and the men and women of the Uliangha tribe can be given permanent residence and grazing."

"Since His Highness Prince Ning will not return to that bitter and cold place in the north of the Great Wall, he can be allowed to live in the capital permanently. After all, Prince Ning is different from other vassal kings. It is reasonable that His Majesty should receive special favors from you."

After hearing this, Zhu Quan was so angry that he almost cursed.

Damn it, what kind of favor is this?

You are telling lies with your eyes open, and you are plotting to harm me.

I won’t agree!

"Your Majesty, since I am the vassal king, I cannot live in the capital. This goes against the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" of Taizu Emperor Gao."

"My brother absolutely does not dare to violate the ancestral precepts. I just want to become a vassal as soon as possible and abide by the law."

"If the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou really doesn't work, it can be replaced by other places. I just ask for your Majesty's permission."

Zhu Quan hurriedly came out to report and begged.

At this time, he didn't care where the fiefdom was.

As long as it's not under Zhu Di's eyes, it's okay.

Zhu Di was still a little confused after hearing this.

Why did the Seventeenth Brother suddenly give up the right to choose a fiefdom?

As long as you don't live in the capital, you can go anywhere.

What's the meaning?

Under the emperor's nose, there is no freedom?

Afraid of being imprisoned?

It seems that this seventeenth brother has long been dissatisfied with himself.

Does he plan to go to the fiefdom and then recruit his old troops, raise dead soldiers, and wait for an opportunity to rebel?

Thinking of this, Zhu Di's face turned gloomy.

Historical records:

King Ning has always been resentful of Zhu Di's breach of trust.

It is a pity that until his death, he did not find an opportunity to rebel.

The reason was that Zhu Di had a secret edict and kept a close eye on Zhu Quan's lineage, without giving him the slightest chance.

Zhu Quan left a legacy before his death, asking his descendants to remember his "shame of Jingnan" and "shame of Yongle".

His lineage has always harbored a rebellious spirit.

It was delayed until a hundred years later, during the Zhengde Dynasty of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Quan's great-great-grandson finally caught an opportunity to rebel and prepared to vent his anger on his ancestors.

Unexpectedly, I was so unlucky that I met Wang Yangming right after I left the army and was fooled into lameness!

He died before leaving the army.

Xu Qin was well aware of all this. He stepped out and cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ning is not only your brother, but also a partner investor who joins hands with Jingnan."

What the hell is a 'partner investor'?

Before everyone could understand, Xu Qin continued to lie:

"His Royal Highness, Prince Ning, has great talents and great strategies, as well as literary and military skills. If he lived in the capital, he could discuss military and state affairs with His Majesty."

"As the saying goes, brothers working together can cut through gold!"

"We feel that His Highness Prince Ning cannot bear to leave. He should take the country of Ming Dynasty as his own responsibility. I hope His Majesty will learn from this and make His Highness Prince Ning think twice."

After listening to this, Jian Yi understood.

Xu Qin is a bad boy.

This is not the grandson of Xu Da, the God of War and King of Zhongshan. He is clearly possessed by the treacherous Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.

Being able to tie Prince Ning to the capital and prevent him from becoming a vassal in a different place will not only help the stability of the court, but also cause less harm to the local people.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

Zhu Di is also a thousand-year-old fox, and he is also a dragon among men.

How could he not be able to understand or understand?

Zhu Di didn't think too much. He held his hand and smiled at Zhu Quan:

"Seventeenth Brother, since all the ministers and ministers have such good intentions, then you can stay in the capital temporarily."

"The residence of the Duke of E during the Hongwu Period was very good. I will give it to you as soon as the Qintian Prison takes it back."

After hearing this, Zhu Quan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He was obviously a powerful prince, and when he was planning to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, he was kidnapped by Zhu Di and put on a pirate ship.

I originally thought that with the merits of the Jingnan Campaign, I could get a bigger and more fertile territory, so I secretly recharged my strength and waited for the opportunity.

Unexpectedly, not only could I not become a local emperor, but I could only live under house arrest in the capital and be a fucking apartment-governor?

He simply hated Xu Qin and Jian Yi.

But at this moment, the three of them, the monarch and his ministers, were singing in harmony, what could he do?

I regret that I sympathized with Zhu Di and allowed him to enter Daning City, so that he took the opportunity to successfully instigate rebellion and had no choice but to board the pirate ship.

Looking at Zhu Quan's bitter face, which was even uglier than his dead father, Zhu Di was stunned and looked stunned.

It seems a bit unkind to treat Prince Ning like this.

The original promise was indeed to divide the world equally!

Many people around me heard it.

But in a blink of an eye, I thought:

Since you are the emperor, you should not be indecisive.

For the sake of the country and the country, one can only be ruthless.

The only blame is that Zhu Quan was born at the wrong time.

"Your Majesty, I feel suddenly unwell. Please take my leave first!"

Before Zhu Di could open his mouth to comfort him, Zhu Quan cupped his hands, turned around and left angrily.

"Brother Seventeen, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you?!"

Looking at Zhu Quan's leaving figure, Zhu Di also pretended to be pretentious.

Then, Zhu Di's Guan Gong face turned away and he said in a deep voice:

"That's it for Prince Ning. I'll let the cabinet prepare an edict later. The capital of Ning will be abolished. All three guards in Yingzhou will be withdrawn, and most of the officials will be withdrawn."

"It's just that Prince Ning can't live in Kyoto forever. It's temporarily suspended. What about the future? What are your specific plans?"

After saying that, he looked at Jian Yi with burning eyes.
