Do you want to seal the land?

Ye Chunqiu is actually embarrassed to make such a request?

Having said that, if Ye Chunqiu wanted to seal the soil directly, it would definitely give people a very bad impression.

The most important thing in this era is to be implicit. People who seek benefits, even if others really promise you, they usually give people a feeling of being complacent.

What's more, Ye Chunqiu has a very big ambition and dares to even ask for a bribe.

There are only two types of people who can be qualified to be enthroned in the Ming Dynasty. One is a vassal state, which is the treatment of the prince, and the other is a county state, which is the treatment of the prince.

Although the vassal kings and princes had been greatly reduced after the Jingnan Dynasty, because Emperor Wen was under the banner of the ancestral law, Emperor Taizu still retained the kindness of Emperor Taizu's treatment of the royal family.

For example, King Ning's fief is in Nanchang, which is a Dayi. Here, he has the right to interfere in administration, appoint civil and military officials in the royal palace, even the right to establish a guard, and the right to collect taxes.

It can be said that it is precisely because of this system of the country that the vassal kings have the capital to rebel.

Similarly, counties and states are often smaller vassal states. However, although they are counties and states, in fact, the small vassal states in this country are often cut off from the vassal states. For example, the Shanggao County is his vassal state. Although according to the system, he has the qualifications to be independent, it is actually just a structure that is attached to the Ningwang Mansion.

Because foreign surnames cannot be granted a king, only when a king is granted a king can he have a land. Because of this ancestral system, in theory, Taizu, the old man of Taizu, was equivalent to eliminating the possibility of separatist rule in foreign surnames.

And now, Ye Chunqiu asked for a land of seclusion, which is definitely an unprecedented thing!

Even the Duke of Qian, who was in Yunnan, was just a town. The so-called town was just a town that allowed their descendants to serve as officials and take charge of military and political affairs for generations. This is a completely different concept from the fining land.

Even though Ye Chunqiu had noble character and demanded that Deng Jian be released as a buffer, Ye Chunqiu proposed this but still shocked everyone.

The surname Ye, he has a big appetite. Could this guy want to be the king?

Zhu Houzhao didn't care too much. She just enthroned a vassal state, and she didn't feel sorry for her at all, after all...

There are so many vassal kings and princes in the world, and Zhu Houzhao doesn't care about adding another one.

Isn’t it just a county? Zhu Houzhao is still very generous in this regard. After all, Ye Chunqiu’s contribution is really great. In Zhu Houzhao’s heart, Ye Chunqiu is similar to his brothers. Isn’t he comparable to those cousins ​​who are completely inseparable?

But for many ministers, they couldn't help but feel a little taboo in their hearts. There have been few who have had a good ending in foreign surnames. What exactly does Ye Chunqiu want to do?

"Hmm?" Zhu Houzhao seemed to ignore the ministers with different expressions and only looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Do you want a fief? Since you have spoken, I should naturally keep my promise. This matter is decided. The evidence is conclusive. The Ning King has the intention to rebel. I will definitely uproot the roots of this King Ning. If you entrust you to Nanchang, it is probably inappropriate. However, under the Ning King's Mansion, there are also the Prince of Yichun, the Prince of Gao'an and the Prince of Shanggao. You can choose one of the three places in Yichun, Shanggao and Gao'an. You are still the Duke of Zhenguo. However, the things I did for the Ming Dynasty were hard work and made great contributions, but due to the laws of the ancestors, I cannot add your title. Then, you might as well use the example of the Prince of Ning to allow you to build a vassal and open up land."

According to the laws of the prince, this is definitely a great encounter. Moreover, Yichun, Shanggao and Gao'an are all in the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the Jiangxi Provincial Administration. Jiangxi is a good place. If it is southern Jiangxi, there are many mountains, it may be worse, but these three places are in the central and western Jiangxi areas.

There are a large number of plains here, which is definitely a treasure land. In order to appease King Ning, Emperor Wen went to his military power and did not allow him to establish vassal states on the frontier. He moved him to the central part of the Ming Dynasty, both to monitor and prevent him from causing trouble, and on the other hand, he also gave him some preferential treatment. After all, Jiangxi has always been a land of fish and rice.

Any of the three places here can definitely be considered a blessed place, let alone let Ye Chunqiu choose one from these three places.

The officials were surprised at first, but now they couldn't help but envy. Many people even began to wonder, where would they choose if they were themselves?

Yichun has been called Spring City since ancient times. Although it is mountainous, it is pleasant in all seasons. It is high and close to Nanchang. Moreover, there are many paddy fields, and the products are abundant and a good place to go.

As the protagonist, Ye Chunqiu did not hesitate much and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I don't want to be in Jiangxi."

In no mood?

This time, there was an uproar again, and it was a pity for Ye Chunqiu again.

Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang were both the richest places in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhejiang was not allowed to establish vassals because of the coastal areas. Nanzhili was a place in the vicinity and would not be granted to others. The only good place was Jiangxi. Ye Chunqiu didn’t think much about it, so he said no?

Ye Chunqiu continued: "Since I am the Duke of Zhenguo, I should guard the country's gates for the Ming Dynasty. My brother hopes to obtain a fief. It is precisely because of this intention that Jiangxi is good, but it is not what I wish. My brother begs to ask Your Majesty to entrust me to the outside of the pass. Emperor Taizu Gao had long said that the Ming Dynasty owns all over the world, Nanyang and Japan, for the Ming Dynasty, was just a disaster for scabies, and the desert was the eternal enemy of the Ming Dynasty. My brother wished that his descendants would guard the desert for the Ming Dynasty for generations. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to entrust me to the outside of the pass, open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and protect the country."

If we say at the beginning, when we heard Ye Chunqiu say that he wanted a fiefdom as a reward, many people actually felt that Ye Chunqiu was too selfish and wanted to set a precedent in the Ming Dynasty. As a foreigner, he wanted to be a fiefdom?

But now, after hearing Ye Chunqiu's words, everyone was shocked.

Ye Chunqiu's words make a lot of sense. The desert is the eternal enemy of the central dynasty. From the initial Huns to the later Xianbei, Turks, to the Jin and Mongolia, from the Oirat to the Tatars, the enemies of the central dynasty are always in the northern part of the desert. Even if the whole country destroys an enemy, a new enemy will soon emerge in this bitter and cold land. These enemies make a living by plundering and do not change their nature. If the pass is strong, they will just harass and plunder. Once the country is in turmoil, they will become the biggest threat, break through the pass wall and sweep through the pass.

Do you live a comforting life in such a place? But this is such a place that makes the court officials in the hall unable to understand why Ye Chunqiu used it as his fief!
