Father can be an enemy to the country

Silunfa had just started on the road, and the capital over there had received the good news that the entire Lucchuan Army had surrendered.

The prince handed the eight hundred miles to Lao Liu with a happy face, and said with a happy smile: "Okay, finally a big worry has been solved. Mu Ying is good, and so are you."

Zhu Zhen took it and looked at it carefully twice, and said with a relieved smile: "Now, Luchuan is just a place name."

"You should change the name of this place. An area that is not loyal to the Ming Dynasty should not even have a place name." The prince said calmly.

"Haha, the eldest brother is still ruthless." Lao Liu couldn't help laughing and said: "I think the name Luchuan is too unlucky, so let's change it to Ruili. Doesn't it feel better?"

"Ruili...isn't Xiangrui beautiful?" The prince pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It turns out that you kid has already made a plan. This name change is good, so let's settle it."

"The place names in Yunnan were either given by the people of the Yuan Dynasty. Or they come from the names of the local tribes. One is more strange than the other, and the other is more vulgar." Zhu Zhen gave an example with a wry smile: "Why is the common person black, the mosquito is concave... …There are also things like Jiechang, Talliu, Baga, etc., which sound like a barbaric land outside the world. I usually change it when I see it, but I can't change it completely."

"We should send someone specifically to do this." The prince smiled and said, "The sooner you change your name, the better. Just like people, the older they get, the more troublesome it is to change them."

"What the elder brother said is that we are not too busy now, so we don't care about this." Lao Liu hurriedly agreed: "As soon as I get back, I will explain it immediately."

"What's the matter? You're so far away from home?" the prince asked sourly, "I've only been back for a few days, and I can't stand you anymore."

"Isn't it that Miaoqing and Liu Li are about to give birth?" Lao Liu did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Besides, Yunnan is full of waste and is waiting for prosperity, and there are thousands of things to do. Now Yunnan is starting to be included one after another, my brother. I really miss you."

After a pause, he complained: "In the final analysis, it's not that my father didn't let the third brother and the fourth brother go south to help me. If they were here, why would they be so worried?"

"I have told you so many times that they and the second child have heavy responsibilities. They are still unable to move until Bei Yuan is eliminated." The prince said helplessly: "You don't look down on the seventh, eighth and tenth..."

"I didn't say that I looked down on Lao Ba. Didn't he watch over the royal guards for my father?" Zhu Zhen explained quickly.

"That's because I really look down on Lao Seven and Lao Ten..." the prince said with a bitter smile.

"Brother, the people in Yunnan are complicated and the chieftains are rebellious. Letting these two fools pass is just throwing stones into the public toilet." It is related to the overall situation. Zhu Zhen said it very straightforwardly.

"how to say?"

"It's arousing public outrage." Zhu Zhen spread his hands: "Aren't you saying that we are not 'the old man who eats arsenic - looking for death if he doesn't want to die'?"

"Hahaha..." The prince laughed loudly: "Your witticisms are just like the pots that have just come out of the kiln - one after another!"

"Hahaha!" The two brothers laughed together, and then the prince wiped his tears and said, "Well, although the eldest brother shouldn't say this, in fact, I quite dislike these two guys."

Needless to say, Lao Qi is a bad guy who is rotten from the root. Although he is very good at leading troops in battle, he is completely a pervert and likes to torture people for fun.

"The most pity is Lao Shi. He has been extremely smart since he was a child and has been loved by his father, the emperor and his mother. I have always taken him with me over the years and taught him diligently. I really hope to cultivate another good helper like you. ." The prince sighed regretfully:

"When he was around me, he also performed very well. He was a humble corporal, knowledgeable, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he also had unique insights into government affairs. Who knew that these were all illusions. After only one year of vassalship, he became He began to indulge in women and lived a luxurious life of wine and meat."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said a little ashamed: "This guy is still afraid that he will not be able to enjoy all the happiness in the world, so he only wants to live forever. He burns incense, chants sutras, and refines elixirs all day long. He sends royal officials everywhere to search for famous doctors and good medicines, favors alchemists, and follows They learned the tricks in the house, and my father was so angry that he sent people to scold him several times, but I don’t know if he corrected them."

"It can't be changed." Zhu Zhen sighed: "Old Shi is a hedonistic character. But to be honest, it is normal to be born as a prince."

"Yes." The prince sighed: "You and your brothers have all lived a hard life. The brothers below are born with rich clothes, fine food, and thousands of slaves. They are indeed very different from you. , can’t be taught even if you teach...”

In fact, including Lao Ba, they are all hedonists with no ambitions and always only focus on satisfying their own desires.

"Actually, there are people. Don't be discouraged, brother. I think Lao Yi and the following brothers are all good prospects." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "I will take them to Yunnan later. After a few years of hard experience, they can take on the responsibility." Great job.”

"Well, I think it will work." The prince said with deep understanding: "The prince has important responsibilities in the vassal state. He must have enough experience to prove that he is worthy of the vassal's responsibility before he can join the vassal state. Just because he is a descendant of the old Zhu family does not mean that he can join the vassal state. Being uneducated and skillless brings harm to the people."

"Brother is absolutely right. This is exactly what I have always wanted to tell you," Lao Liu nodded heavily and said, "Civil officials and military generals all have to start from the bottom, even if they are young like Chang Mao and Deng Zhen, Anyone who inherits the position of Duke must start as a junior officer and work his way up little by little, right?"

"Why is the father afraid that one of their generals will be incompetent and exhaust the entire army, but he is not afraid that his own son will be incompetent and bring disaster to the country and the people?" Zhu Zhen asked in a deep voice: "So, the current vassal mechanism must be changed. It cannot be When they reach a young age, they have to gain experience, have to be tested, and have to let them prove themselves. Otherwise, I would really be worried about giving them the land that the soldiers fought bloody battles to conquer!"

"Yes, that's the truth." The prince nodded in agreement and said: "Let's all think about this matter carefully. When we turn around, we will have a plan in mind, and we will chat with our father together."

"Okay." Lao Liu nodded and said with a smile, "As long as I haven't been kicked out by those civil servants..."

"This is your home, who dares to kick you out?!" The prince raised his voice and said, "Those civil servants like to make trouble over nothing. Let them talk about whatever they want. Anyway, I will approve the memorial."

"But there is a saying, and what they said makes sense. I am now the king of the vassal. If I don't stay in my own vassal country, I will inevitably attract gossip when I go to the capital and stay there." Zhu Zhen sighed softly: "So after the competition, I'd better go back to Yunnan."

"Alas..." The prince wanted to persuade him again, but he suddenly realized that Lao Liu was no longer comfortable staying in the capital. Also, if you are used to being the king and hegemon in the feudal kingdom, no one will be comfortable if you come to the capital to tie your hands and stay humble.
