Chapter 917 Draw the lot, the chieftain?

In December, dozens of ceremonial guards entered the capital.

The vassal kings rubbed their hands all the way, and the new emperor asked them to extract the fiefdom by themselves. This was the control of their destiny. In addition, the vassal kings no longer dared to use their hands, for fear of being infected with bad luck.

As Yan Chengjin said, there are many vassal kings who praise the new emperor, but the officials who scold the new emperor were the officials.

When the carriage entered the capital, he had not seen his son Zhu Hou's heart for a long time. King Xing Zhu Youze's eyes gradually became blurred: "Go to the palace to ask, when will I enter the capital to meet the saint?"

The accompanying royal palace officials received the order and rode a horse to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. Regardless of the vassal kings and the military honors, they could only pass through the six ministries and then pass to the cabinet.

Half an hour later, the news reached the cabinet.

"How should Lord Yan draw the vassal kings from all walks of life come to Beijing?" Wang Qiong looked at Yan Chengjin.

Although it sounds fair to draw lots by yourself, the fiefdoms are big and small. In the eyes of the vassal kings, uneven divisions can also cause trouble.

I am afraid that the vassal kings in the world only want to get the fiefs of the island country. However, the real good fiefs are the Ottoman area and the surrounding areas of the Tudor dynasty, where the people are rich and fertile.

I wonder when Wang Shouren will send a letter?

Yan Chengjin opened the newly painted map and said, "Look at it, my official label is a territory of the same size."

Li Dongyang came up to take a look and saw the thin red lines cut the territory and divided it into several pieces of nearly the same size.

"How should the vassal kings pay taxes when they go overseas?"

"I want to discuss with the public, and this is the case."

Yan Chengjin took out the brush from his cuffs and painted a few dots. The black dots represent the ward and the blue dots represent the yamen.

...

East Warm Pavilion,

Zhu Houzhao asked Gu Dayong to prepare rice paper while selecting pigments. The talented man from Jiangnan evaluated his talents by using his piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

If nothing unexpected happens, another picture of the vassal kings will be made.

"New Emperor, the Supreme Emperor told you not to be lazy in politics." Xiao Jing whispered.

Zhu Houzhao thought about the paint and did not raise her head: "I am not lazy."

In an instant, a figure enveloped the imperial desk. Looking at the slightly middle-aged body shape, you will know the Supreme Emperor.

"My son, I've seen the Supreme Emperor."

"What do you do if you don't read the music? "

Zhu Houzhao looked disappointed and couldn't help saying, "My son only did it for one hour, and it was winter. Thinking of the hungry people in the world, the silver obtained from paintings was all given to the national treasury as relief silver."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi stared at him, his eyes softened a little.

"Houzhao, my father heard you say you want to enfeoff the vassal kings to the lands of the Tang and Song dynasties?"

I can't imagine what would happen if there were no vassals in the king's territory?

"My son has summoned the vassal kings to the capital."

"How do you plan to enfeoff the title?"

"I don't know, the cabinet will help me find a way. Didn't I pay my salary to them?"

The breathing of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi became thicker. If you really had to talk to this rebellious son for no more than three sentences, you would be so angry that you could not speak.

At this time, the little eunuch walked in and reported: "Xinhuang, King Xing sent someone to ask when will you start to draw lots and when will you meet Prince Xing?"

"Send someone to the cabinet to ask when the cemetery ceremony will begin and send Zhu Houguan out of the palace."

...

Beijing, Nanxin City.

King Xing Zhu Youze bought a mansion.

He stood in front of the mansion, paced back and forth, shaking the old housekeeper beside him with a confused look, "Is the prince still in the future?"

"The prince wait a little longer, the people in the palace say... the prince has left the palace." said the housekeeper.

Zhu Youze frowned. Didn’t the dog son study in Zhan Shi’s Mansion?

After waiting for a moment, I saw a sedan chair parked in front of the door, and a little eunuch walked in with Zhu Houcan's hand.

"I've seen my father."

Zhu Youze's eyes tightened and he led Zhu Houcan to the side hall, "Yeguan'er, do you know how many days have you been writing lots?"

"King Xing wants to cheat?"

King Xing Zhu Youze glared at the white and tender eunuch beside him. I have only been away from the palace for thirty years. Is the eunuch in the palace so arrogant? The eunuchs from that time dare not do this.

“Bold!”

"Father, he is the current crown prince Zhu Zaikun."

King Xing Zhu Youzhi's old face was slightly stunned. After looking carefully, he was a little similar to Zhu Houzhao. He immediately greeted him: "My minister Zhu Youzhi, I have seen Your Highness, and I have just been eager for a moment. I have said inappropriate words. I hope Your Highness will not say anything randomly."

"I want to help you." Zhu Zaikun blinked a few big eyes.

A little light lit up in Zhu Youze's eyes. When he glanced at Zhu Zaikun's big eyes, he didn't seem to be able to lie. He suddenly felt...

Just fold a small corner on the lot.

………

Today, the morning court was held in the East Warehouse.

Zhu Houzhao ordered the little eunuch to burn the earth dragon. The hall was warm, but the officials had a heavy face of death, as if someone had robbed the wealth of thousands of people.

"The new emperor, the marquis of the vassal kings are outside the Meridian Gate."

"Old Gao, start writing lots."

As the officials watched, the eunuch brought the desk and put a stack of cut papers on it. Yan Chengjin sat in the middle of the hall, wrote down lots on the note, and put them in a wooden box.

Yan Chengjin was the chief censor and had always been incompatible with officials and vassal kings, so he would not cheat. He would write lots, so he would be relieved.

All officials didn't care. Anyway, who was better at arresting had nothing to do with them.

At this time, Zhu Zaikun walked to Yan Chengjin's ear and said softly.

Yan Chengjin frowned slightly.

Um?

Zhu Houzhao looked up, and a voice sounded like his father taught his son a lesson, and said lightly: "Magnificent, what did you say to Master Yan just now?"

Zhu Zaikun thought for a while and said in a naive voice: "Broke a corner on the fiefdom of the island country."

There was an uproar in the hall,

Liu Yu, the Minister of Justice, showed a solemn expression and his eyes fell on Zhu Zaikun: "Who dares to instigate the prince?"

...

Outside the Meridian Gate, the vassal kings stayed in a fiefdom for a long time and wanted to change their fiefdoms, but the court was not allowed to do so.

At present, the court ordered them to go to the capital to draw lots, just and just.

King Xing Zhu Youze looked at the moon cave. Although he had already sealed the land of Nanchang, it was not the best at the moment.

The imperial court re-granted four territory, with the island countries being the richest, followed by the Tang and Song dynasties, Ryukyu again, and Tatars and Oirat at the end.

The vassal kings each covered their hands to prevent others from seeing the jade talisman in their hands. Some even more, they had already held a Bodhisattva and started to kneel down.

"King Xuanfan entered the palace!"

Zhu Youzhi looked up and saw that the side door of the Meridian Gate opened, and the vassal kings entered one after another from both sides.

The sage of the emperor was placed in the broad courtyard, and all civil and military officials were arranged on both sides, and a wooden box was on the high platform. The princes saw its pupils suddenly shrank.

Next to the wooden box, seven Grand Secretary stood.

"My dear ***, I've seen the new emperor!"

The vassal kings stood in the center of the Guangting court and bowed to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao immediately said happily: "Ping Yan, King Xing will come and arrest him first?"

Zhu Youzi raised his eyes and felt a little happy. Could it be that the new emperor wanted to have a small meal for the prince? It is very likely that he would be able to catch it first!

"Attendance!"
