After the dinner, dozens of Jinyiwei were waiting at the gate of Prince Qin’s Mansion, and many princes bowed to see them off.

Zhu Ying left, and the communication among the princes began.

When Zhu Ying was here, there were naturally many issues that were difficult to discuss, but now there is no need to worry about it.

"My nephew is really amazing. We were just discussing the military power before, but he even gave me the royal power. How generous! How generous!"

Zhu Gang was the first to sigh and say that he had been holding this in his heart for a long time. As soon as everyone sat down, they started shouting.

When several princes heard this, they nodded in agreement.

However, King Zhu Chun of Shu sighed and said, "My brothers have outstanding military achievements and strong military forces, so there is naturally nothing to worry about. This kind of thing is an opportunity for my brothers, but for me, it is difficult to deal with."

"If I were to govern a place, I would still have some confidence, but as for leading an army to fight a war...it seems that I can only be a rich and powerful prince in the future."

"Well, let's just muddle through."

Not every prince has excellent military talent like Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and others. It also depends on the living environment.

After hearing what Zhu Chun said, everyone didn't know what to say.

Only the Prince of Xiang, Zhu Bo, responded: "Being able to stay in the Ming Dynasty is not necessarily a bad thing. Besides, the nephew of the emperor also said before that although we have no fiefdom to rule, we can still serve as officials and command the army."

"My nephew is the crown prince, so what he said is certainly not without purpose. Eleventh brother, don't worry too much."

"After all, he is my father, and he has high praise for my eleventh brother. If he does not touch the military power, I think my nephew will not be too afraid."

After hearing Zhu Bo's explanation, Zhu Chun thought for a while and nodded slightly, thinking that this possibility was quite high.

At least the current princes don't have too many worries about Zhu Ying.

Judging from his attitude at the dinner just now, Zhu Ying was very polite to these elders.

The princes here are all capable and can clearly feel Zhu Ying's sincerity.

Especially the establishment of the inner court, which gave the princes a lot of power.

This means that the princes can now prepare to recruit talented people, and then once the fiefdom is conquered, they can directly bring them over to govern the place.

It has come to this point, the sincerity is already great enough.

"I don't know which of us brothers should go there to develop together with the third person in Japan that the nephew mentioned."

Prince of Qi Zhu Yu suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chong smiled and said, "While the nephew was here just now, why didn't you recommend yourself, my seventh brother?"

"Even if we invade Japan, it will definitely not be stable in the first few years. It will take a long time to govern. The nature of the Japanese is obvious. They will not surrender so easily."

"So the third person chosen by the nephew must be someone who can fight. In this regard, apart from the third and fourth brothers, the seventh brother is the best."

What Zhu Chong said is true.

In terms of strategy, the person second only to Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di is naturally King of Chu Zhu Zhen.

If we talk about bravery, it must be Prince of Qi Zhu Yu.

The remaining candidates are among these two.

As for the other princes, Zhu Su was a doctor, Zhu Chun was a scholar, and Zhu Bo was a filial son.

It becomes clear at a glance.

Before that, Zhu Zhen's interest was obviously more in the southwest rather than in Japan.

Judging from Zhu Ying's current personality, he still pays more attention to everyone's wishes.

"No, I can't compare to my second brother. He is the most comfortable. According to what my nephew meant, the vassal state where my second brother is located is Goryeo."

"Second brother has Goryeo all to himself, and he is much more comfortable than us. Besides, I heard that the current Goryeo national master is the fourth brother's mage, what's his name, Daoyan, right, fourth brother?"

As Zhu Yu was speaking, he asked Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di heard the name Daoyan, he felt upset, but he still nodded in response.

Zhu Yu didn't care about all that and said with a smile: "Fourth brother is a mage who usually doesn't show off his abilities. But when he arrived in Goryeo, he really showed off his skills. It is said that he now has an army of 200,000 under his command."

"Oh my god, this is more than the army I have ever commanded. It is unimaginable that a mere monk could have achieved this."

Zhu Bo smacked his lips, his tone containing a hint of disbelief.

Of course, he also knew that the imperial nephew was closely related to this, but with a simple mind, he naturally would not think about why his fourth brother's men were hanging out with the imperial nephew.

Even if I knew, it wouldn't matter.

In terms of relationships, Zhu Bo and Zhu Gang's relationship is much better.

In other words, among these princes, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang were, after all, the second and third brothers besides the eldest brother Zhu Biao.

Now Zhu Chong is the leader of all the kings. The conflict between Zhu Di and Zhu Gang is currently limited to the two of them. After all, they have their father, the emperor, to suppress them.

If he really had to take sides, Zhu Di would probably feel uncomfortable.

In the past history, the reason why Zhu Di was able to succeed in the Jingnan Rebellion was actually largely related to the deaths of Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang.

Because his brothers were all dead, Zhu Di naturally became the leader of all the kings at that time. In addition, what Zhu Yunwen did made all the vassal kings feel disheartened, which led to Zhu Di's success.

"In fact, the nephew has been very good to all of us. Although this is the first time that the nephew and I have met, you brothers should know that this method was definitely not proposed by the emperor, but was thought up by the nephew himself."

Prince Zhu Bo of Xiang thought for a moment and then spoke.

He attached great importance to feelings as did his father, so he was more sensitive to subtle emotions than other princes.

When everyone heard what King Xiang Zhu Bo said, they all agreed.

Zhu Bo continued, "Being able to come up with this idea and also being able to convince the emperor, there are many things behind this that we cannot see."

"Many of us here are not really familiar with the Emperor's nephew. It can be seen that although the Emperor's nephew has been living abroad, he still trusts family affection very much. Here I want to say that I hope the brothers will not have any grudges against the Emperor's nephew."

"Some things happen by accident, and no one can explain them clearly. It may also be destined by heaven. In short, the emperor's nephew is now the grandson of the emperor, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"We just need to do our part and guard the border for Ming Dynasty, that's all."

"Let's not talk about what will happen in the future. I believe that while my nephew is still here, he will definitely do his best to take care of us and the younger generations."

When Zhu Bo said this, he looked at Zhu Di from time to time, which made Zhu Di feel a little embarrassed.

Hey, my dear twelfth brother, what you said is no different from pointing at my nose.

Although he was unhappy, Zhu Di had no intention of arguing.

What his twelfth brother said was a bit unpleasant to hear, but Zhu Di knew in his heart that it was indeed the truth.

And now Zhu Di also has a new direction: to establish a new country overseas.

…

"Grandson, everything has been explained clearly. Do they have any objections?"

In the Ming Imperial Palace, the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang lay leisurely in the rocking chair in the yard, feeling the evening breeze, and asked his eldest grandson.

The rocking chair was naturally made by the carpenter arranged by Zhu Ying. The method was very simple, but no one was thinking about it now.

When Zhu Yuanzhang lay in this rocking chair to enjoy the cool air for the first time, he immediately fell in love with it.

Rocking chairs are very comfortable for elderly people.

"Under grandpa's name, the uncles have nothing to gossip about. Relatively speaking, they are all quite satisfied. There are also several uncles who are not interested in this, but we can't force them." Zhu Ying replied with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "They are all our sons. No one knows their sons better than their fathers. How can we not know their little thoughts?"

"Especially the second, third, fourth, and seventh brothers, they are the most reluctant to give up the military power. Now that you have granted them the throne, they are so happy that they don't have time to gossip."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped shaking and said with a slight sigh: "The eldest grandson's personality is very similar to your grandmother's. If she could see this scene, she would definitely be very happy."

"For these sons of ours, many of the systems set by the vassal king were actually proposed by your grandmother. If it weren't for your grandmother, they wouldn't have so much power in their hands now."

"Good boy, you are such a good boy. In this case, I believe they will be very supportive of you."

"However, although overseas countries are good, you should still keep some skills in this regard. After all, the Ming Dynasty still has future descendants."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Grandson, why don't we see Yueqing so often recently?"

When Zhu Ying heard the old man mention Ye Yueqing, he naturally understood what he meant. He had no reason to reject it, so he said directly, "The Chamber of Commerce has been busy lately. Isn't the share auction about to begin?"

"The situations of some chambers of commerce are basically under Yueqing's control. Uncle Zhang is also very busy and a little short of manpower, so my grandson asked him to help."

After hearing his eldest grandson's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Grandson, you are different from us. You are old enough now, and it is time for you to start a family."

"In this regard, we believe you have your own ideas. No matter who it is, if you like it, we support it. The only requirement is that it should be done quickly."

"You should give birth to our great-grandson as soon as possible. While we are still healthy these past two years, we can hold him for two more years."

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, his tone became more urgent.

The grandson born by the eldest grandson will be the eldest grandson of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Thinking that he could still have a grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang urged again: "Grandson, hurry up, I will issue you an imperial decree this time, you must get married within a month, I want to have a grandson!"
