The brothers listened to the elder brother's reprimand honestly, and when his anger was almost gone, they all looked at the sixth brother, "Don't be a coward, kid."

"So it was your kid's idea!" The prince saw their little moves clearly. The action of looking around for the feather duster was exactly the same as his father's.

"Big brother, don't look for it, there's none." The second brother muttered, "Yes, why don't you use the soles of your shoes?"

As he spoke, he took off his shoes.

"Put it on, you sweaty feet!" the boss said angrily, covering his nose.

"Alas, alas..." The second child put on his shoes again.

The sixth child was not afraid of his elder brother and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You still have such a playful smile on your face, kneel down for me!" The boss slapped the table angrily.

"Hey." Zhu Zhen had to kneel on the ground reluctantly.

"It turns out that you are planning to open a shipping company so that you can fly far away in the future!" The prince couldn't find a weapon at hand, so he used an unused chopstick to hit Lao Liu on the head.

"And not only do you want to leave, but you want to kidnap your brothers too? I will tighten my belt and sponsor you 20,000 yuan, and give me back the money!"

"Brother, the money has been spent." Lao Liu held his head and said cautiously: "On February 2, the city's shipping fleet has already set off from Liujiagang, Taicang. The cost of this trip is huge. Two As ten thousand taels were not enough, the second, third, and fourth brothers each contributed another ten thousand taels, and we could barely scrape together the departure fee."

"Brother, don't worry. Lao Liu said, come back and give me 20,000 yuan." King Qin hurriedly explained for Lao Liu: "No, I won't cheat you."

"Hmph..." Does Zhu Biao care about that little money? He was angry with these boys for not being of the same mind as him!

"Brother, calm down first and let me explain to you." Lao Liu puffed out his cheeks, with an innocent look on his face, and his round eyes were full of sincerity.

"Say it." The boss said angrily.

"You really misunderstood. First of all, brothers' feelings for eldest brother transcend everything in the world." Zhu Zhen said: "My slogan is-"

"Father, mother, eldest brother is the dearest. Broken bones are still connected with tendons!" the brothers said in unison.

"Fuck..." The frost on the prince's face finally melted. He said to the fourth child: "Get a cotton pad for the sixth child."

Lao Liu moved from the hard and cold floor tiles to the soft and warm cotton pad... and continued to kneel and talk.

He first explained to his eldest brother the benefits of enfeoffing overseas. The content was very different from what he and his brothers told him when he was in Qixian County.

I just omitted the words "die inside and be safe outside", and some independent kingdom with the sky high and the emperor far away, etc., which would make the elder brother angry.

But I believe that with my elder brother's wisdom, I can definitely understand what they are planning.

"Brother, we brothers grew up together, and our love is as strong as gold, so naturally there will be no suspicion." Then Zhu Zhen continued: "But we can't guarantee it, what will the next generation think?"

"Xiongying can't do that." Zhu Biao said confidently: "That kid is kind."

"But what if..." Zhu Zhen swallowed and said bravely: "What if our son is not kind? What if there is a careerist in one of the houses? Instead of fighting against each other, it would be better to ban us directly. Go overseas. Then, no matter how arrogant future generations are, they will know that they will definitely not be able to compete with China in a remote corner separated by mountains and seas. Instead, they will feel at ease guarding the vassal state for the imperial court and opening up territory for China."

"Yes, brother, if something happens to the court and the emperor summons us, our descendants can bring troops back to the court to serve the king. We can also ensure that the imperial power will never be left behind." Lao San also agreed:

"But their roots are not in China, and they can only return to China after the matter is over, so they don't have to worry about occupying the magpie's nest. Brother, this is the real long-term way."

"You worry too much." The prince still shook his head and said, "You are originally the fortress kings who guard the frontier and expand the territory. The fiefdom is already far enough away."

"Xi'an is the divine capital of China, Taiyuan is also known as the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, and Beiping is the capital of the Yuan Dynasty..." Lao San said with a wry smile: "Not to mention the two sensitive places of Suzhou and Wuchang."

Suzhou is the capital of Zhang Shicheng; Wuchang is the capital of Chen Youliang...

"Brother, we are now called the King of Sai, just because the territory of the Ming Dynasty has not yet returned to the old appearance of the Han and Tang Dynasties. When the Northern Yuan Dynasty is completely wiped out in the future, and the country enters a prosperous age, these important towns will flourish again. At that time, the government and the public will This is another judgment." The fourth man said soberly:

"Brother, what we are talking about now is not about feelings, but about future plans! I believe that instead of testing human nature and pinning our hopes on emotions, it is better not to give future generations the opportunity to test human nature. This is the way to long-term peace and stability! Brother..."

"An ancient saying goes, 'The wise see the danger in the invisible, the wise see the disaster in the inchoate.' With the wisdom of the elder brother, knowing the twists and turns and taking precautions before they happen is far better than fighting the fire after the fire is exhausted!" San Yeku persuaded.

"Me, me too..." the second child choked out. Then the brothers all knelt in front of the boss along with the sixth child. "Brother Mingjian!"

"You..." Zhu Biao was heartbroken for a moment and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He was well-read in history books and was well aware of the political gains and losses of each dynasty. How could he not know that his father's enfeoffment of vassal kings was a huge hidden danger. If the future emperor does not cut down his vassal vassals, he may have trouble sleeping and eating. Cutting down the vassals may lead to fratricide like the Rebellion of the Seven Kings.

If Ye Boju, a teacher, could see the problem, how could the dignified prince not see it? It's just that he has enough confidence to know that as long as he is here, no one in Lao Zhu's family will dare to have second thoughts.

I am only twenty-two this year, so I still have forty or fifty years left, right? Such a long time is enough for me to slowly and properly solve this problem.

To put it bluntly, no matter how hard we try, we won't be able to properly solve the problem. The worst he can do is recruit all his brothers to the capital and let them enjoy the red sunset with him. I don't believe any bastard dares not to recruit them.

So he wasn't particularly anxious about this before. Otherwise, how could he be called the most stable prince in history?

But what his brothers said today still touched him - especially the fourth child's words, 'Instead of testing human nature and pinning our hopes on emotions, it is better not to give future generations a chance to test human nature', which made him unable to help. agree.

Because there is an extreme assumption implicit in these words - what if the prince himself dies early?

I want Lao Liu to support Xiong Ying, but what if Lao Liu dies early?

Although this possibility is slim, fate plays tricks on people, and sometimes misfortunes never come singly. Therefore, a proper system is more reliable...

As for the younger brothers, fear of slander and ridicule is probably the second reason why they want to entrust overseas territories together.

More importantly, the trip to Goryeo opened the eyes of these boys to what another kind of feudal king was like.

They have their own pursuits, which is normal...
