"Is there any way to have both ends of the world?"

Li Jin couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhu Biao's question:

"The current situation is changing like clouds and smoke, and it is impossible to predict. There are only the most appropriate policies for the moment, and there is no national policy that will last forever."

"The main purpose of the current emperor's appointment of a king to guard the border is to consolidate the imperial power and make the Ming Dynasty last forever, while at the same time taking into account the responsibility of defending the border."

"In order to achieve this goal, these princes must have military power."

"If you don't want to leave troubles to future generations, it's better to make a king instead of a land, and to make a vassal without inheriting the vassal."

"What does it mean to be granted a king without enfeoffing a land, or to be granted a vassal without succeeding the vassal?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Jin's words, his eyes gradually became serious.

If Li Jin really said something about having the best of both worlds, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang would sneer at him on the spot.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not believe this nonsense even to death.

But when Li Jin said that policies would change with the changing situation, Zhu Yuanzhang was in awe.

Just like in this world, there is no eternal truth.

It was after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this that he decided to ask Li Jin about the most appropriate policy in his opinion.

Li Jin gently rubbed his chin and said:

"Of course they can be crowned kings and let them defend the emperor against foreigners in the north. This is a great achievement and should be encouraged."

"But it's not necessary for a fiefdom."

"The vassal king's salary comes from the national treasury, so why do they need these fiefdoms?"

"As I said just now, if a vassal king becomes obsessed with annexing land, what benefit will such a vassal king bring to the court?"

"The vassal king should focus on resisting foreigners, rather than pursuing pleasure."

"Furthermore, the current situation requires the emperor to entrust vassal kings, but in future generations it will not necessarily be necessary to entrust vassal kings. The emperor should limit the number of vassal kings and border guards to his generation."

"To avoid the proliferation of vassal kings in the future, resulting in an empty treasury."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, but still said hesitantly:

"In that case, wouldn't the future princes have to fend for themselves?"

Li Jin rolled his eyes and said:

"They are already in the royal family, and they have stood at the top of the world's powerful people since they were born."

"If you can't make a breakthrough in this world, isn't it just a waste?"

"As the saying goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, Lao Huang, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing."

"No matter how miserable they are, they will not starve to death. Don't you see how many people in this world work hard every day and don't have enough to eat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry at first, but in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to say.

Zhu Biao next to him was extremely excited when he heard this and couldn't wait to ask:

"Then what does it mean to seal a vassal state without continuing it?"

"It's very simple."

Li Jin explained:

"As a prince, the vassal prince is naturally extremely noble. He is above all other officials and below the emperor. He is extremely powerful."

"But his descendants are not qualified to inherit the feudal title."

"I can only inherit his next-level title until he is completely reduced to a commoner."

"What? Isn't this just a grace order?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately burst into action.

This bastard Li Jin dared to use the order of grace on his own son. He was really a bastard.

"Do you know what will happen if the emperor knows that you are so vicious?"

Lan Yu next to him was still sitting well. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up, scaring Lan Yu so much that she also stood up in a hurry.

Several other people on the table also stood up timidly, their necks shrank like quails, and they looked extremely well-behaved.

Only Li Jinfeng sat there calmly. He even had the thought to pick up his wine glass, take a sip, and scolded Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Look at you, Lao Huang, let's have dinner together, you always lose your temper like this."

"What we say today comes out of my mouth and into your ears."

"I won't recognize a word after I leave this door."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened and he wished he could give Li Jin a hard fight right now.

"Do you still want to listen? If you don't listen, I won't speak."

Li Jin was a little unhappy when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang was about to beat him, so he just showed off.

"Say, we'd like to hear what lies you have to say."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, his curiosity finally defeated his impulse.

"You sit down first."

Li Jin pushed Zhu Yuanzhang down on his seat and continued:

"Old Huang, haven't you ever thought about what the world will look like a hundred years from now?"

"If the emperor is buried in heaven, who else in the world can suppress them?"

"Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take care of brotherhood, what about the civil servants?"

"Wouldn't they encourage the prince to cut down the feudal vassal?"

"He dares!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes angrily and looked at Zhu Biao, which shocked Zhu Biao.

"Here you go again, don't scare the child!!"

Li Jin complained to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and righteous, but don't you understand how powerful a civil servant's mouth is?"

"Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of reducing the vassal vassal, those vassal kings will have trouble sleeping and eating every day when they hear the noise coming from the capital."

"When the current emperor decided to seal the king and guard the border, he should have thought of such a result."

"Brothers will fight each other and fight each other. This is completely foreseeable."

"Instead of doing this, it's better to just set the rules."

"The order of favor is not only to weaken the vassal king, but also to protect the vassal king. Do you understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was completely silent this time because he did not want to believe that Zhu Biao would kill his brother.

But as Li Jin said just now, when Zhu Biao sat in that position, he was thinking about more than just brotherhood.

For the sake of family and country, for the stability of the country, and for the sake of his own children, Zhu Biao would also attack the vassal king.

This is true, but it will take a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in despair, then turned around and walked out of the house without saying hello.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly followed him, fearing that something might happen to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Lan Yu and others breathed a sigh of relief and sighed:

"Finally left."

Li Jin saw the hopeless look of these people and said with disdain:

"Looking at how cowardly you are, you still have the nerve to call yourself a Ming general?"

Lan Yu's eyes suddenly widened and she asked Li Jin:

"Don't you know who he is?"

"Of course I know."

Li Jin looked like he had known it for a long time.

Seeing what Li Jin said, Lan Yu's face suddenly became filled with admiration, and she praised:

"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

"I didn't expect you to be so courageous at such a young age. Mr. Lan is really impressed by you this time."

"Hey, he's just a relative of the emperor, what's there to be afraid of?"

The look of disdain on Li Jin's face became even heavier, this Lan Yu was also a bully and afraid of the strong.

When you meet someone with a better background than yourself, you become so humble. It's really not as good as meeting someone.

"Relatives of the emperor?"

This time it was Masandao's turn to scream.
