The court dispersed, and Zhu Yunqiu met with Tie Xuan Xie Jin who returned from Peking in the Eastern Palace.

Please see Your Highness!

No need for too much politeness! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "People come, give them a seat and serve tea!"

Both of them lived on their way back to the capital. They were all in a state of hard work, and Tie Xuan was strong and more energetic, while Xie Jin seemed to be a little in poor spirits.

After sitting down, Zhu Yunxiu spoke again, "How about the north?"

Xie Jin smiled and said, cold!

Tie Xuan pondered slightly, heroic!

Zhu Yunxi gently tapped the table with his fingers and asked for a moment, "How is Uncle Gu Si?"

I think that the King of Yan is a man with great talent and ambitions, and has skills in his rule, but he is also unruly. Xie Jin said, "If Your Highness gets it, he will be a good general to stabilize the northern border." If Your Highness cannot get it, there may be constraints!"

Zhu Yunqiu refused to comment and turned around and asked Tie Xuan, what do you think?

Tie Xuan looked around and asked His Highness to retreat!

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and all the palace servants who served him retreated. He was the only one of them, the king and the ministers, in the hall.

Will Your Highness be deprived of the vassal in the future? Tie Xuan asked seriously.

Zhu Yunxiu looked at him for a long time and nodded, yes! As he said, he smiled, you both are Gu's confidants, and you know a little about Gu's thoughts. In the future, Gu will cut off all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, and all the military, regime, and financial power will be added to the central government!

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Jin's eyes were full of light.

Tie Xuan pondered slightly and asked, Your Highness, why not use it?

You are also a scholar who reads history books. Since ancient times, only vassal kings who are unruly and enemies with the central government, but have vassal kings who are determined to serve as the country? Zhu Yunxiu said, the disaster of the Han and Jin dynasties is vivid in my mind. Besides, I, the Ming Dynasty, have enfeoffed the nine borders, and all the vassal kings are all elite soldiers and powerful generals, only knowing the king but not the country. The inner kings are mostly arrogant, extravagant and licentious, causing local disasters! Moreover, these vassal kings have also given birth to vassal kings. Now there are not many royal families, and the country can still bear it. In a few decades, what will the court use to support these people?

In fact, Zhu Yunqiu respected and guarded him more than he was in his heart. He also wanted to subdue this fourth uncle as the sharp blade of the Ming Dynasty. But King Yan was a proud man with a full of ambitions, so how could he be willing to be under Zhu Yunqiu?

Besides, from the national perspective, it is wrong to divide the vassal kings with heavy troops.

The old man's heart is good, and his ideas are good. He is thinking of fighting brothers and father-son soldiers. In the north, the troubled land, let his sons lead the army to guard the army and become a barrier. His legitimate son is in the center for the emperor. Even if the world changes in the future, the Zhu family's country will still be as strong as iron.

Even if someone in his son is disobedient and has other thoughts, the vassal kings in the same place are not enough to compete with the entire Ming Dynasty.

But this mistake is not a military mistake, but a political and financial mistake. The current fiscal revenue of the Ministry of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty is more than 30 million yuan per year. In addition, there is a Lianghuai salt tax specially distributed by the old man, which is more than 10 million yuan.

So much money is not small, but it can only be just the same. In addition to spending a huge amount of military expenditure every year, we also have to support the local vassal kings.

Zhu Yunxiu reduced the vassal states not because of military and imperial power, but for the future financial affairs of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to real money and silver, the vassal kings also occupied a large amount of land in the local area, embezzled fields, and hid the population. Things often happened to the disabled people.

To be honest, although most of the old man's sons are good, they are just pretending to be in front of the old man. They are all very greedy in the fiefdom in private. However, the old man is partial to his sons and is unwilling to ask.

If a vassal king can give birth to a bunch of princes, all of them need to be raised by the central government. How can they be raised?

The vassal kings were the blood-sucking insects on the dragon of the Ming Dynasty. They were fat and had no benefit to the country.

Zhu Yunxiu wanted to take all the power, wealth and land in the hands of these vassal kings to the central government, which would also benefit the people.

Although he wanted to reduce the vassals, he would also divide the vassals. As long as he had the ability, he could lead his descendants, prisoners, sinners and others to become the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty and expand his territory under the wings of the Ming Dynasty.

He is a vassal outside, not inside!

This is just the first step. Only by cutting off the vassal kings can he implement the new policy he has planned for a long time. Re-popularize the world's population, check the land, release the labor force, and suppress unscrupulous officials and gentry.

In this era, at this stage, the self-cultivated farmers who support themselves, support themselves, and donate grain and pay taxes are the biggest reliance for the country's prosperity and stability.

Then he can set tariffs, commercial taxes, open maritime bans, promote commerce, and one-handed farmers and the other.

If he wants to build a Ming Dynasty that is unparalleled, strong country, strong military and strong people, he must use thunderous means. The deterrence of using the vassal kings is far greater than the short imperial edict.

The old man hopes that he will be a wise king and a saint and virtue emperor. But what he wants is not a peaceful emperor, but an emperor who created the times and guided this ancient country to ride the wind and waves.

These things have always been suppressed by him and can only think about them when no one is around.

Thinking about it now, Zhu Yunxi's face and eyes were filled with a light of passion.

Yan's vassal is strong and powerful! Tie Xuan said seriously, if His Highness reduces the vassal, the King of Yan will rebel! As he said that, Tie Xuan smiled and said, "If the King of Yan is the one who is a rich and idle man, it is better to kill him!"

In fact, this hidden danger had been laid as early as the day the old man was granted the throne! Zhu Yunxiu sighed slightly and said, "Everyone has selfish intentions, who is willing to hand over the authority in his hands? Among the kings, the King of Yan has the most military achievements and is the most sensitive and self-esteem. Others may just curse in their hearts, but he will definitely take action. He is a person who would rather be broken than be completely broken.

There are people who are born in heaven and are reluctant to bend down. Zhu Di is that kind of person. Zhu Biao has no choice but to bow his head when he is alive. But the old man and Zhu Biao are gone, and Zhu Di will never bow to anyone.

Zhu Di is a kind of warrior, the kind of warrior who even thousands of people have gone!

Dingshi! Zhu Yunxiu spoke to Tie Xuan, how about transferring you to the place after the wedding?

Tie Xuan's heart moved, but let me go to Peking?

Haha, it’s not time to go to Peking! Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, “Duke of Xinguo Tang He has already gone to the coastal coast of Fujian to organize the Jinghai Army. Send you to the coastal army to adjust military affairs. How about it?

I will definitely not be humiliated! Tie Xuan stood up and kowtowed.

Xie Jin was stunned. Where is your Highness, what about me?

Do you want to be a foreigner? Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

I stayed in the capital, beside Your Highness! Xie Jin's head shook into a rattle.

This is the difference between Xie Jin and Tie Xuan. The latter is pragmatic, the former is good at speaking and is good at speaking.

Your Highness! At this time, the turtlema said outside the hall, "Eunuch Park is passing on the emperor's will and want to see you!"

Zhu Yunxiu asked, "He said nothing?"

The turtle was humiliated and said, "The new Hangzhou magistrate Zhang Shan met in Fengtian Palace." The emperor said he was your old minister and asked you to see him too!"

Zhang Shan has arrived!

After the big killing in Hangzhou, it is necessary to be punished. Zhang Shan was personally pointed at the old man's crooked mouth. Zhu Yunyu must also have his own team in the place where the wealth in Zhejiang is.
