The Renshou Palace was too crowded, so the empress dowager finally agreed to let Bei Jingchu go.

Bei Heng finally waited for an opportunity to bring the little heartless girl back home, and quickly had someone bring her back.

Concubine Fang, who arrived a step late: Didn’t you say it was my turn? ? ?

Why are you two being unreasonable?

Bei Jingchu, who was the center of the competition, was heartless and returned to her old place, the imperial study.

The Minister of the Secretariat was the emperor's most trusted confidant and discussed state affairs with the emperor in the Imperial Study.

When the emperor spoke to his subjects, his voice was full of majesty.

"Someone from the Supervisory Council impeached the Prince of Huayuan for exceeding the standards in the fiefdom ceremonies and making him equal to a prince."

"If this continues, it will become a serious problem. I intend to reduce the power of the vassal states."

"But it has only been a dozen years since the last emperor reduced the power of the vassal states. If every emperor reduces the power of the vassal states once, then the positions of the kings will be unstable."

"People's hearts are unstable, which is not conducive to the stability of our Yue Dynasty."

"My dear ministers, do you have any long-term plan to eradicate it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The problem of war among kings has been a problem throughout the dynasties. If there was a solution, it would have been found long ago.

The emperor rubbed his forehead in pain. These confidants were not useless, but they could not solve all the problems.

Such plans to deal with members of the royal family can only be carried out in private and cannot be planned out loud.

He also couldn't ask the world for talented people.

It's normal that these few people can't come up with anything.

"Ah~" he sighed

He was still able to control and suppress those vassal kings, but he was unable to pave the way for future generations.

It all depends on whether the next emperor can hold on to this position.

But even he doesn't want to have a powerful relative.

Just because the Vietnamese Dynasty was strong and prosperous didn’t mean it had no enemies around it.

Once a fight breaks out among your own people, other countries will surely take advantage of the situation and tear off a piece of your flesh.

He was about to ask them to leave when he heard a familiar childish voice: [Isn't it just the Enfeoffment Order? ]

[According to current laws, the eldest son inherits the lion's share, or even all, of the family property.]

[It has been passed down from generation to generation, and of course it has become stronger and stronger. 】

[You can let the other sons of those princes also inherit the fiefdoms, property, and armies. ]

[They give birth to children like pigs, and one prince has more than ten or twenty sons.]

[Give him a piece each, and it will be decomposed in one generation. ]

Emperor: !!! Are you really a genius?

If there was no one watching, he would have wanted to pick up the little guy and kiss him madly.

The ministers below saw the emperor's expression change from worry to helplessness to ecstasy.

That smile showed all the big white teeth.

No, is this something happy?

Xu Lanqi felt that the emperor seemed to be possessed by evil spirits.

He returned to the Secretariat, and soon after, he received a handwritten order from the Emperor asking him to draft the Enfeoffment Order.

Xu Lanqi: This...this, this, this.

Who came up with this idea? It's a conspiracy that can be accomplished without bloodshed.

Either I'm telling you to the princes, or I'm trying to reduce your power.

Instead, he pretended to be merciful and considered every son of the royal family, allowing them to inherit their father's property.

Except for the eldest son, there is no protection for other sons, not even the second son.

But once this law is in place, if the princes do not enforce it, the first to cause trouble will be their sons.

Moreover, it is impossible for them to have fewer children to ensure that their power is not divided, because not all children can be raised.

Even in his own family, he had five brothers and sisters when he was a child, but now only he and Shuer are left.

The other three died in infancy.

No one doubted the fact that your Majesty's first two princes died in succession, because the death of two children was too normal.

They don’t know whether the children they give birth to can survive to grow up, so in order to ensure that they have successors, they have to try their best to have children.

So this method is simply a divine plan!

Who thought of that!

Why didn’t you say it just now in the imperial study?

Xu Lanqi almost rushed to the emperor and asked which brother had come up with this idea.

But he held back and didn't say anything just now, but reported it privately. Maybe this person is the secret weapon hidden by His Majesty.

Xu Lanqi suppressed his excitement and began to draft the decree.

After the imperial edict was issued, the court and the public were shocked.

Tong Huai'en didn't even have time to change his clothes when he got home, and excitedly told his wife about this: "Your Majesty is surrounded by talented people."

"I was so arrogant because I thought I was the most talented person in the capital. I was too narrow-minded. There are many hidden talents around your majesty."

"Who on earth could have come up with something like the Enfeoffment Order?"

"High, high, really high."

Xiang Qiao took the clothes he had changed and hung them up. "Indeed, this is a clear conspiracy. It's telling you that we are going to deal with you."

"At that time, the other party could only watch and could not resist."

"If he accepts it, at least he can be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. If he doesn't accept it, it means he is disobeying the order, and His Majesty will have a reason to send troops to reduce the power of the vassal."

Xiangqiao was also amazed at the man's wisdom.

If you tell this to her from the past, the girl who has been immersed in the world of makeup and red powder all day long certainly won't understand.

But since she met Tong Huai'en, he didn't just chat with her about love and romance, and flirt with her, but didn't talk about love.

Instead, he told her everything, about his insights from reading and the amazing policy papers he had seen.

She couldn't even recognize all the words now, but she understood a lot. That's because he wouldn't lose interest and stop talking to her just because she didn't understand.

But patiently explain.

That's why she was attracted to him and took out the money she had saved when he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

So she believed in his character.

Now Xiangqiao has her own views on the situation in the court.

The princes who were far away in their fiefdoms were indeed very angry.

Prince Huayuan was so angry that his hands were shaking when he saw the new law.

He threw the booklet to the ground.

The staff saw this and advised: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Calm down? Don't you see what a shady trick this is?"

"What a great plan of dividing and conquering. The emperor is surrounded by so many capable people that they can even come up with such a vicious plan as the Enfeoffment Order."

"I don't know which bastard came up with this idea. The emperor also knows how to hide people."

"If I knew who did it, I would definitely kill him!"

The mysterious man speculated by the outside world was drinking milk in the side hall of Xuanshi Hall, and he burped after drinking.

Just one burp was not enough, the nanny continued to pat her back gently to dispel the burps, and Bei Jingchu burped one after another.

This is where the baby is embarrassed.

Just like you should concentrate on releasing your farts, you should also accumulate your burps.

So shameful~

With the implementation of the Enfeoffment Order, Bei Jingchu is about to turn 100 days old.

This time, it was naturally a large-scale event that exceeded regulations.

Ministry of Rites: Let’s do it.

The censors looked at each other, but none of them came out to stop the remonstrance.

Your Majesty is twenty-two years old and has only one daughter who has lived past a hundred days. It is not unreasonable to hold a grand celebration.

It’s okay, it’s normal for him to be happy and silly, let’s just let him be.
