Chapter 390 Send You to Luocheng
"Hmm? How do you say it?"
Chu Chengyi didn't understand why. Why was the fiefdom bad? He even wanted to find an opportunity to ask his father to give Shu'er another fiefdom.
The larger the fiefdom, the more food and taxes can be collected, and more food and taxes can be collected.
“It’s hard to control, it’s easy to be divisive.”
[The feudal system easily formed local political power and threatened the real rulers.]
Chu Qinshu recalled the history of her previous life. There were several typical dynasties in which the princes who were enfeoffed rebelled and caused the dynasty to fall.
Not only should the royal family members be given less fiefs, but also meritorious generals should be given less fiefs.
You can have titles and rewards, but forget about fiefdoms.
If you give a place to a capable general who has military power, isn't that forcing an opportunity for him to challenge the imperial power?
No matter how loyal they are to the court, they cannot resist the instigation of people with ill intentions around them.
Trust between people is most easily destroyed by the words of villains.
This was a common occurrence in her previous life.
"Shu'er is right. What do you think we should do?"
Chu Chengyi immediately understood what Chu Qinshu meant. This problem did exist.
Who, if they were born into a royal family, wouldn't want to sit on that seat?
Not to mention the princes who had titles, fiefs and military power, even the princes who had no titles or fiefs were secretly fighting for it, weren't they?
"Give them titles but no fiefs, and keep them in the capital. Alternatively, give them titles and fiefs but no military power. Local officials and local garrisons are all under the control of the court, and the princes who are granted fiefs only receive food and land."
[Ouch, I'm so tired, I almost bit my tongue. When will I be able to speak fluently?]
It was rare for Chu Qinshu to speak so much, and although her words were discontinuous, she finally made her meaning clear.
However, when it comes to the court's handling of such matters, she can only draw lessons from the history of her previous life. The specific measures still depend on her father.
She is very adaptable and knows that there is no true equality for everyone in this world.
So she didn't intend to implement the methods of her previous life here.
Every world has its own rules. What she needs to do is to respect, adapt, improve and perfect them, and ultimately achieve peace in the world and happiness for the people.
"Shu'er, you've worked hard. Come, drink some water."
Chu Chengyi never thought that his own daughter could actually give him advice, and that the advice sounded very reasonable.
He had to take note of it and think it over carefully.
"Gudong, gudong, gudong."
Chu Qinshu held the cup and drank it all. It seemed that all the saliva she had just consumed while talking was replenished.
"Daddy, remember."
Chu Qinshu pushed away Chu Chengyi's hand holding the cup and pointed at the pen and ink on the desk.
"Qiu Gu, come in and serve me with the writing brush and ink."
Chu Chengyi put down the water cup and asked Qiu Gu to go into the study.
His daughter was happy because she and he were on the same page.
......
Half an hour later, Lin Fu finally arrived with the imperial edict.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has prepared an imperial edict. Please review it."
Lin Fu didn't have to do this errand job in person, but he couldn't miss the opportunity to visit the little princess in the East Palace.
However, when the emperor saw that he was going to take on this task, he glared at him severely.
I guess when I return to Yu's study, he will definitely ask about the little princess.
"Um."
Chu Chengyi nodded, then stretched out his hand, motioning Lin Fu to give him the imperial edict.
"Your Highness, let me help you hold the princess. It's hard to hold the imperial edict with one hand."
Lin Fu looked at Chu Qinshu with loving eyes.
Although he was just an eunuch, he loved Chu Qinshu no less than Emperor Yongping.
After all, after Chu Qinshu grew up and could crawl, he spent more time accompanying her to crawl than Emperor Yongping.
He also had some resentment towards Emperor Yongping. He had to protect the evil-minded Prince Ning, which caused him to not see the little princess for a long time.
When he goes back, he won’t tell the emperor that he met the little princess.
"Hmm? No need."
Chu Chengyi had a grudge against Emperor Yongping, so naturally he didn't have a good face towards the people around him.
In the past, he was very polite to Lin Fu, but now, he just had to be polite to him.
"Hey, I saved it for you."
Lin Fu didn't dare to say anything more and had to present the imperial edict.
"I have read the imperial edict. Will you follow me to the Feng family to announce the edict, or will you return to the Yu study to report?"
Chu Chengyi opened the imperial edict, read the contents carefully, and confirmed that it was correct.
It's time for Feng Wenhan to set off.
"In reply to your Highness, I will hand over the imperial edict to you. I will return to the study to report."
Lin Fu heard the unfriendly tone in Chu Chengyi's words and quickly expressed his stance.
He didn't want to be a sandwich between the emperor and the prince, so even if his trip to see the little princess today was not in vain, he should run away as soon as possible.
Lin Fu left first, and Chu Chengyi followed and carried Chu Qinshu out of the East Palace.
The Donggong car drove towards Feng Wenhan's house in a mighty manner. Feng Wenhan received the news yesterday and was waiting at home today.
As per the Crown Prince's wishes, he handed over the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture to his subordinates first, and after he left, a new person would take over.
The northern border is extremely important to the prince, and he must guard it for the prince.
......
"Take your luggage and I will take you to Luocheng myself."
After announcing the decree, Chu Chengyi planned to send Feng Wenhan away immediately.
He has complete trust in his cousin.
His maternal family was badly betrayed by Emperor Yongping, but his cousin and uncle had always been guarding the most remote and difficult place for him.
If not for this, his position as crown prince would not be so secure.
"Ah? Your Highness wants to personally escort me to Luocheng? However, New Year's Eve is just a few days away, and the journey to the northern border is long. How can Your Highness go with me?"
Although Feng Wenhan was a little flattered, he was still clear-headed.
It takes more than two months to travel from the capital to Youzhou, not to mention Luocheng.
Moreover, he had been to Luocheng before disguised as a businessman, and the roads there were not as easy as those in Youzhou.
In addition, it is winter now, and the roads are covered with snow, so the carriage cannot move at all. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were to accompany him on horseback to Luocheng, he would be half dead.
"I will take you there, so that you can return to Beijing for the New Year without delay. You can call out the people who are traveling with you and have them take the luggage."
Chu Chengyi didn't explain much. After giving the instructions, he hugged Chu Qinshu and started to discuss with her.
"Shu'er, can you help Daddy send your uncle off?"
He wanted the spiritual bird or beast to make this trip. Whether the original civil officials of Qingluo could convince the officials sent by Sheng'an State, the way Feng Wenhan appeared was very important.
His family has a lucky star, and the lucky star has magical beasts and birds, which are just right for shocking those people.
"Yeah, send it."
Chu Qinshu nodded in agreement.
When she was in Yu's study yesterday, she guessed her father's plan.
The Emperor is a worry-free person, so naturally, they, father and daughter, have to show their strength to make him worry-free.
"Your Highness, the little princess is also going to see me off?"
Feng Wenhan, who was standing nearby, became more and more confused as he listened.
He was just going to Luocheng to take up a new post, so why did it have to be so grand?
