Zuoyou Shunmen was a transitional residence for the princes who had been crowned kings.
However, the King of Ying and the King of Yi, who were enthroned last year, are only three years old now, so it is naturally impossible for them to come and live here.
The princes were discussing His Royal Highness the Grandson, but they didn't expect that he would arrive in the blink of an eye.
It’s really His Highness, His Highness is here.
The group of people were dumbfounded.
"Ahem, hurry up and get up to welcome His Royal Highness Chang Sun." Zhu Quan coughed twice, stood up and said.
I sorted out my clothes by the way.
Although they are all princes, the relationship between the emperor and the princes is more of a monarch-subject relationship.
The so-called Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers.
At all times, the emperor is the greatest.
And His Royal Highness Changsun can almost be said to be the future emperor for sure.
For most of the rest of my life, I will be relying on His Royal Highness Changsun to support me.
You will be given a hard time. Even if your father has given you a rich fiefdom, when the time comes, an imperial edict will come down and ask you to move to another place.
Can you not change?
There was no resistance at all.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Chang Sun."
When Zhu Ying appeared, all the princes bowed their heads.
Keep a very low profile.
Even now, Zhu Ying actually has no status at all.
But we are not fools. Just living in Kunning Palace is enough.
With their heads lowered, except for Zhu Quan, the other four princes could not hide their horror.
This is really too similar to my elder brother.
During the previous training, because of the high platform, the distance was far and I couldn’t see clearly.
Now that I look at it up close, it feels completely different.
At this moment, everyone thought to themselves, no wonder the emperor felt that it must be His Royal Highness the Chang Sun as soon as he saw him.
Anyone who sees this would doubt that it has something to do with the eldest brother.
"You are too polite, my dear uncles."
Zhu Ying looked at him straight in the eye and bowed in return.
Everyone then straightened up.
"It seems that I came at a bad time and disturbed the dinner of the emperor uncles."
Zhu Ying glanced at the table and spoke.
He used the term "I" directly.
This prince seems a little too arrogant, and my nephew seems not strong enough.
I guess the name "I" is the most approachable.
"Your Highness, it's us who didn't find the right time for dinner."
Zhu Song replied.
Zhu Ying's gaze couldn't help but fall on Zhu Song.
Wow, he can speak so well at the age of twelve.
"My dear uncles, please take a seat. I came here to visit you without any hesitation just to have a good chat with you."
"After all, we are all family, so some things should be said openly. Hiding things is not what family members do."
During the conversation, Zhu Ying had no reason to be polite and walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
Only after seeing His Royal Highness Chang Sun take his seat did the other princes dare to sit down.
Zhu Ying's words made everyone feel awe-inspiring.
Subconsciously looking left and right, he thought to himself that it must be something related to the vassal state.
I also understand that everyone's complaints about the vassal state have probably already reached His Royal Highness Chang Sun.
Thinking of this, hatred flashed in Zhu Tan's eyes.
Of course, it was not aimed at Zhu Ying, but at several eunuchs who served him closely.
It was them who spread the news.
Zhu Ying looked at several people with different expressions and remained silent for a long time, but he already had a vague guess about what the princes were thinking.
"I'm sure all of you uncles know that Grandfather has given me control of the palace guards. During this period of time, I will be training them using a new training method."
"After more than a month, I have already trained quite well. I am very grateful for the help of all the uncles."
"I heard from the guards that none of the uncles have retreated during these days. They have all supported the army, which has further encouraged the soldiers."
Zhu Ying changed the subject and said that it seemed that what he just said had little to do with the vassal state.
At this moment, the princes didn't know how to start, and they didn't understand what His Royal Highness Chang Sun was up to.
Zhu Ying said, "My dear uncles, what do you think of the effectiveness of the palace guards' training?"
After saying this, Zhu Ying turned his gaze directly to Zhu Quan.
Zhu Quan bowed and said, "Your Highness, the palace guards are old soldiers, and each of them is very strong. Now after such training, they can only be described by the sixteen words in Sun Tzu's Art of War."
“It is swift as the wind, yet quiet as the forest. It is aggressive as fire, yet immovable as a mountain.”
Zhu Ying nodded in satisfaction, and then said with some regret: "If all the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were like this, would there be any enemy in the world?"
"However, this kind of training cannot be used for the entire army. It can only be used to continuously select the most outstanding soldiers."
"It was my idea to let the uncles participate this time, not Grandpa's."
"I just want you all to help me train the great warriors of the Ming Dynasty."
"My grandfather taught me many times that in this big world, the most reliable people are your family."
What Zhu Ying said.
This left the princes, including Zhu Quan, a little confused.
It seems that this means that you support us to become a vassal?
After exchanging glances secretly, Zhu Zan bowed and said, "Your Highness is right. It is also the responsibility of us descendants of the Zhu family to serve the Ming Dynasty."
"If you can use us, please don't hesitate."
Zhu Zan kept his status very low.
Zhu Ying heard this and replied with a smile: "Sixteenth uncle has filtered it. The Ming Dynasty still needs the help of the uncles."
"Don't say such polite words. We are all family, family."
Zhu Ying kept emphasizing his own family, leaving the other princes confused.
Judging from the words just now, there is no intention to stop them from becoming a vassal. Instead, it seems that he is very supportive.
Could it be that we have misunderstood what our father meant?
Although everyone wanted to ask directly, they didn't have the courage to do so.
No one wants to offend His Royal Highness Chang Sun.
Zhu Ying felt that it was about time, so he got straight to the point and said, "Some time ago, I had an idea about the military."
"I think you uncles should have heard about the previous separation of the military and the government."
"It is very difficult to actually achieve the separation of the military and politics, so I discussed with my grandfather and wanted to open a military school based on military drills."
"The existence of the military academy is mainly to train soldiers, not only in terms of training, but also in other aspects."
"I thought about having the uncles attend the military academy together to train the elite soldiers of our Ming Dynasty. When we are enfeoffed, it will be much easier to deal with the soldiers."
After hearing these words, the princes, including Zhu Quan, were overjoyed and excited.
They didn't expect that His Royal Highness Changsun not only supported the vassal state, but also asked them to train the soldiers first.
Judging from the situation, it needs to be reused.
Zhu Ying looked at everyone's delighted applications, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
