    Naturally, Zhu Youtang had no arrangements. In this impeccable arrangement, Liu Chengfeng obviously occupied the most important position, but something happened to go wrong, so Zhu Youtang smiled bitterly and then said: "It's just a pity.  There was a fierce discussion in the court, but the final result was that the cabinet asked me to make you the vassal king. I didn't want to agree at first, but after hesitating again and again, I still nodded mysteriously."

    When he said this, Zhu Youtang seemed a little regretful. Sometimes, the emperor was not the one to make the final decision. The ministers were like moths to a flame when they decided that something must be caused, and the palace could only compromise.

    However, the expression on Zhu Youtang's face seemed to be telling Liu Chengfeng that in fact, the reason why he made the concession was not because the ministers were making trouble, but for Liu Chengfeng himself, a highly respected minister.  Although the ministers are prominent, they still have worries after all. Liu Chengfeng has left too many imprints on the current Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao not to mention, but what about the future?  If a new king ascends the throne in the future and wants to establish his authority, Liu Chengfeng will be the first to offer a sacrificial flag.  Which of the most respected ministers in this world has a good end?

    Zhu Youtang did this and made a compromise with the officials. In fact, it was not just because the ministers were making trouble, nor was it just that the cabinet strongly agreed. The fundamental reason was here.

    Zhu Youtang sighed, and when Liu Chengfeng was silent, he took a deep breath and said: "Now that you have been appointed as the vassal king, according to the rules of the court, you are only stationed in Beijing now, and you won't be able to stay for long.  I have to go back and join the feudal clan, I'm afraid my calculations will be in vain."

    ?As Zhu Youtang said.  Things are back to where they started now that Liu Chengfeng is gone.  The funeral arrangements arranged by Zhu Youtang turned out to be in vain. This was the reason why Zhu Youtang sighed.

    Liu Chengfeng quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty, the prince is smart. In fact, it is not a big deal if there are no ministers in the capital. If the prince really ascends the throne in the future, he will be a good emperor like the emperor. Why do you need to make such a long-term plan?"  Intend?"

    "I hope so." Zhu Youtang's answer seemed a little cold.  He knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament.  Zhu Houzhao would never be a diligent emperor. It was already a blessing to be a lord of integrity. No matter how much he wished for, Zhu Youtang did not dare to think too much about it.  That's why Zhu Youtang said the word "hope", which means to express his worries.

    Zhu Youtang continued: "But now we can only look at his fortune. I have been in power for fifteen years, the world is still peaceful, and the treasury has a surplus. These are all what I left to him. Even if he acts nonsense sometimes, he will not  What big thing will happen? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I had already thought about it when I issued the edict and ordered you. It is useless to talk about it now. "

    Zhu Youtang's face became solemn again and said: "But I have a few questions to ask you. If you go to Chu land, how will you govern the country?"

    Liu Chengfeng was confused. He didn't know why Zhu Youtang asked this. But if Zhu Youtang wanted to ask, Liu Chengfeng couldn't be terse. He thought about it and said: "That place is now richer and has many merchants. In the past, Lianzhou was  The half money bag of the imperial court is turned over to the state treasury every year, which amounts to tens of millions of taels of silver. Now that place has been declared a vassal, and the ministers have gone there, they will still continue their governance methods, but the original taxes of the imperial court can be changed to annual taxes.  Tributes were escorted into the court. Today, the ministers are the ministers of the emperor. Even if they are called vassal now, they will still be the ministers of the prince tomorrow. The courtesies of the emperor and ministers must not be forgotten. Therefore, the system of Chu and Ming Dynasties called vassal and tribute, but the place name of Chu  It is a vassal state, but it is actually the southern border of the Ming Dynasty, which is close to Nanyang. If Your Majesty does not give up, I am willing to defend the southern border for the imperial court."

    Liu Chengfeng has said so much, and the central idea is the same. Although the name has changed, the essence is still the same. He started his career in the palace. Now that the palace has appointed him as the vassal king, then his vassal country will definitely  Liu Chengfeng was closer to the imperial court than other vassal states. He, Liu Chengfeng, shared weal and woe with the imperial court. Therefore, to other countries, Chu State might not be any different from them. To the imperial court, Chu State was a foreign country, but to the palace  In other words, everyone is one of the same people.

    Zhu Youtang slightly nodded his head and said: "What if I am talking about what if, what if one day, something goes wrong in the Ming Dynasty? What I mean is, if something goes wrong in Hou Zhao, what should you do?"

    This question seemed to have a probing meaning, which made Liu Chengfeng secretly cheer up. Obviously his next answer was very important, both to the emperor and to himself. He was silent for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness, if something goes wrong  If there is trouble, I am willing to go to the capital at any time to help the prince."

    Zhu Youtang smiled and then said: "But what if there is a treacherous official who prevents you from going to Beijing?"

    This question made Liu Chengfeng tremble in his heart. Zhu Youtang¡¯s question made Liu Chengfeng feel as if he was digging a trap and was waiting for Liu Chengfeng to dig into the trap.The emperor was in trouble, and the traitorous ministers refused to allow Liu Chengfeng to enter the capital. This was an unsolvable question, but it was not unsolvable. There was still an answer, but this answer was a bit treasonous, and someone might die if he said it.

    Liu Chengfeng was thinking about whether he needed to answer. If he answered, he might take risks. But if he didn't answer, the emperor would not be able to deal with it. After a moment of silence, Liu Chengfeng said seriously: "Your Majesty, if the imperial court really comes out,  The treacherous minister is about to overthrow the country, so I am willing to calm down the traitor! I and the prince are called kings and ministers, and they are actually brothers. If my brother is in trouble, how can I sit idly by and ignore it? I am willing to follow the example of Duke Zhou, even if I die."

    After Liu Chengfeng said these words, he felt regretful in his intestines. These words were really a bit treasonous. It is not without precedent that Jing Nan suppressed the thief. The banner of King Yan's rebellion was Jing Nan, and the banner of King Ning's rebellion was also Jing Nan.  It's difficult. Now that I have asked for Jing Nan, isn't this asking for trouble?  But obviously, Liu Chengfeng said it without hesitation, because he was betting that he was right this time!

    Zhu Youtang squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Chengfeng with a half-smile, then smiled and said, "Well, I understand."

    He simply said "I know", neither good nor bad, and then said: "You have made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion this time, and you deserve the greatest credit. I will reward all the soldiers who went on the expedition. Please make a plan."  Come and show me the roster. Okay, I'm tired. You can go down. After returning home, you will be ready for orders at any time. If I feel better, I will summon you to the palace."

    Liu Chengfeng had a handful of cold sweat on his hands, but he pretended to be normal and nodded: "Then your Majesty should take good care of yourself, and I will retire."

    Liu Chengfeng walked away in small steps. After Zhu Youtang saw his back disappear, his face became very solemn, as if he was thinking about something. Then he raised his eyes to look at the eunuch and maid in front of the bed, coughed and said: "You too  Everybody go down, you don¡¯t have to wait here for now.¡±

    Everyone in the palace saluted and filed out one by one.

    Zhu Youtang sat on the couch in a daze for a while. After a while, the sound of light footsteps was heard. Empress Zhang came in with a tired face and said with a forced smile: "I heard that your Majesty sent all the palace people out of the palace."  I thought something had happened. Why, is Your Majesty feeling better? You need to rest more, look at you, you are leaning on the pillow again, it would be better to lie down."

    Zhu Youtang, however, remained motionless. When Empress Zhang came closer and sat on the couch, he stretched out his hand slightly tremblingly and held it on Empress Zhang's catkins. However, his eyes were fixed on the tent in front of him, staring blankly into the void.  daze.

    "I just summoned Liu Chengfeng."

    Zhu Youtang finally opened the conversation.

    Empress Zhang carefully removed the high pillow for Zhu Youtang, and made Zhu Youtang lie down. She said with a smile: "I know, I actually summoned him just now. He lost a lot of weight this time in Jiangxi. This is also  It's hard for him to run thousands of miles away, lead troops and fight, it's all hard work for him."

    Zhu Youtang glanced at Queen Zhang and finally showed a slight smile, but the smile seemed a bit forced on his sick face. Zhu Youtang said: "I just tested him. I want to knowI want to know what he thinks about  Do I really have my heart set on the prince? You know, I am the emperor, especially at this time, hey This is also helpless, everything must be foolproof. "

    Queen Zhang was about to tuck Zhu Youtang into bed. After hearing Zhu Youtang's words, Rouchi couldn't help but pause. A trace of stiffness flashed across her face, and then she asked: "Your Majestyhow did your Majesty's test go?"

    When asked this question, Empress Zhang seemed a little nervous. In any case, Liu Chengfeng was the most trusted person of this model royal couple besides the prince. If such people suspected something was wrong, then  Who else in this world can be trusted?

    Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I asked him, what would he do if something happened to the prince, the world was in chaos, and a traitor appeared in the court?"

    Queen Zhang didn¡¯t say a word, just listened quietly.

    Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "So he replied that he would go to Beijing immediately and would not hesitate. So I asked him again, what if someone does not allow him to enter Beijing?"

    Queen Zhang said: "How should he answer?"

    Zhu Youtang said feebly: "He he said he said he was willing to put down the thieves and help the country"

    When she heard the word "Jingnan", Queen Zhang couldn't help but let out a low voice. In fact, the word "Jingnan" was still a good word during the time of Taizu, but since King Yan came out, although "Jingnan" is a compliment in the official world, who knows in private?  Everyone knows that the so-called Jingnan means raising an army.

    When it came to Prince Ning, Jingnan became a joke and a phrase reserved for ambitious princes.
