Speaking of which, the earliest vassal king's mansion was not called a palace, it was called a palace, and the earliest vassal king's fief was not called a fief, but a feudal country!

The so-called king, in fact, is the meaning of the king of a country at the beginning, when the sub-feudal system was first implemented, the relationship between the Zhou Dynasty and the vassal states was roughly the relationship between the suzerainty and the vassal state today, the vassal king had absolute power within his own feudal state, and could independently formulate taxes, laws, military systems, etc., and the royal officials were like today's courtiers, and they had to go to the palace every day to discuss matters, just like the previous dynasty.

With the gradual strengthening of feudal centralization, the power of the vassal king has been suppressed by various generations, and in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the vassal king basically has only the power to eat and wait for death, but some rituals are still handed down.

For example, now, Zhu Changluo sits on the main seat with a golden knife, behind him, on the left is the new flattering Yang Rong, on the right is Wang An, the hall is clearly distinguished, the Changshi Division headed by Xu Hongyin stands on the left hand side, and the guard command led by Luo Yangxing stands on the right hand side.

This is modeled after the rules of the original vassal kings' deliberations, with civil and military diversion, not only Zhu Changluo, but most of today's royal palaces also retain this kind of etiquette, but if it is not a formal occasion, it is generally not so strict.

But strictly speaking, this is the first time that Zhu Changluo has collectively met his royal officials, so he naturally has to follow a high standard.

And more importantly, maybe for other vassal kings, this is just a formality, but for Zhu Changluo, it is different, Zhang Wei used the position of the first assistant for him in exchange for the old system of Tonghongwu, it is not to be seen.

In fact, the power of the vassal king in the early Ming Dynasty was very great, and Emperor Taizu's "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" once recorded the requirements for the duties of the vassal king.

It is not difficult to see that Emperor Taizu has great expectations for the vassal king, and correspondingly, the power of the vassal king is also very huge, especially in terms of civil affairs, with the power to control the military and civilian officials in various places.

The kings had the right to intervene in the evaluation of officials in their fiefdoms, the transfer of military and civilian personnel, the administration of taxes, and the planning and implementation of administrative policies, which was one of the reasons why successive emperors tried their best to reduce the feudal domain.

Zhu Changluo was born at the wrong time, he didn't catch up with that good time, even if it was the face of the first assistant who was released from the throne, it was just a castrated version of the old Hongwu prince, the greatest power of the kings, the power to control the official guards and the power to mobilize the army, he didn't have any of them, at best, he just had a grander etiquette, at least nominally, every fiefdom of officials had to come to the palace to make a pilgrimage, stating the pros and cons of governance, and he had the right to directly pay tribute to the court.

The rest is the power of taxation, the original tax of the Taiping Mansion was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household in Nanjing, but now it has to go through the process of the palace, that is to say, Zhu Changluo has the power to modify and formulate taxes on a small scale, as long as it does not affect the taxes that should be handed over to the imperial court every year, and the other vassal kings can only wait for the local officials to collect taxes and hand over a part of what belongs to him.

Although there seems to be little difference between this, people with a little brain are aware of the huge benefits contained in it......

Of course, as a vassal king, most of his fiefdom taxes were to support him, and there were actually very few handed over to the imperial court, and Zhu Changluo didn't plan to really play according to the old Hongwu system, let alone a first assistant, even if ten or eight of them gave up their lives, it was impossible for the emperor and the ministers to agree.

What's more, even if he is given so much power, he can't play it, because his current royal officials are not as huge as Hongwu, well, at least more than sixty percent!

Zhu Changluo felt that if these people could do a good job in taxation, it would be very difficult.

"See His Royal Highness King Shou!"

As soon as he sat down, there was a sound of saluting at the bottom, but it was not very neat, and Xu Hongyin, who was the leader, was obviously a beat slower, which made Zhu Changluo frown slightly.

But it's no wonder that he is so, the chief of the palace has two long histories on the left and right, and two canons under it, including the dining office, the shrine office, the treasure office, the discipline and good medicine office, the ritual office, and the Gongzheng office, which together constitute the civil system of the palace, but in general, they are all subject to the control of the long history.

Therefore, the long history of the royal palace has always been a very strong existence, and some can even stand up to the prince.

Especially...... Zhu Changluo looked at it, except for a few familiar faces, they were all strangers, most of whom were brought by Xu Hongyin, presumably this was one of the reasons why he was willing to come to Shouwang's Mansion to be a long history.

He controls the execution system of the entire palace, and more than seventy percent of them are his people, and under normal circumstances, it is not a problem to put a teenager in the air.

Especially after Xu Hongyin's share was sent out, he was still worried for a few days, afraid that Zhu Changluo would explain the truth of the matter again, but when Zhu Changluo had been silent, his tail became more and more cocked, probably in his opinion, the capital must have been discussing how to let him, a long history, strictly "discipline" a disobedient prince.

Regarding his arrogant posture, Zhu Changluo's attitude was, let him go!

When the time comes, the higher you jump, the worse you will fall!

However, today's occasion is different, since Zhu Changluo is the first time to see these palace officials, he naturally wants to establish his majesty, after all, even if he can bring down a Xu Hongyin, it is impossible to replace all the palace officials.

That kind of movement is too big, and it is too attention-grabbing, and more importantly, only Zhu Changluo knows in his heart that the authority held by a prince in his hands, especially a prince with real power like him, is really easy to deal with a long history.

With an idea like Xu Hongyin, Zhu Changluo can only say that he is too stupid and naïve......

"Zhuqing, let's be flat!"

Zhu Changluo's tone was flat.

Theoretically speaking, everyone in the world is the emperor's courtiers, so only the emperor can say this sentence, of course, as the crown prince of the prince, he is barely qualified for this qualification, after all, he is a half-monarch.

However, in addition to these two situations, there is another special situation, that is, like Zhu Changluo, the prince can also call the prince's subordinate officials like this, because the original royal subordinate officials were appointed by the king independently, the most famous is like King Wen of Zhou appointed Jiang Ziya as the prime minister, and he did not need the approval of the king of Shang as the central court at all, and he decided by himself.

The prince is the lord of the royal palace officials, and the royal palace officials are the courtiers of the prince, so they can also be called so.

Of course, except for treating the palace officials, Zhu Changluo is not qualified to say this.

However, although it is said nominally, in fact, few princes will speak like this, and as soon as Zhu Changluo's words fell, Xu Hongyin's face twitched.

Because the meaning of Zhu Changluo's words couldn't be more obvious, figure out your identity, you are the king's courtier, don't be too arrogant!

However, thinking that Zhu Changluo was about to be disposed of by the imperial court, Xu Hongyin gritted his teeth and endured this breath......

"Since it's a matter of discussion, it's not appropriate to let everyone stand still, Wang An, give me a seat!"

Seeing Xu Hongyin's somewhat ugly face, Zhu Changluo didn't care at all, and commanded lightly.

Wang An was obviously prepared, and hurriedly brought a few chairs with a few small chamberlains, but when it came to Xu Hongyin, something went wrong.

The chairs for others are all good, the chair that is partial to Xu Hongyin, the hind legs are half a foot shorter, as soon as Xu Hongyin sits down, he stumbles and almost falls to the ground.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that? Is it deliberately humiliating the lower officials? ”

Xu Hongyin's face was pale, and he finally stood firm on the ground, looked at Zhu Changluo with a faint smile on his face, and said in a gloomy voice.
