Shandong, as well as Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and Gaizhou, also need to make arrangements.

The situation in Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and Gaizhou is somewhat different, and it is still on the "front line" for the time being. The Houjin Tartars led by Dolgon were stationed in Yaozhou and Haizhou, Yaozhou is very close to Gaizhou, and both sides must pay attention at any time to avoid encountering each other's small-scale plots.

Therefore, in Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, Gaizhou and other places, the focus is on doing a good job in stability matters, and all the affairs of the government are also temporarily managed by Jiangning Yingying, Sun Chuanting is responsible for the overall affairs, and Yan Yingyuan focuses on assisting. The series of reforms carried out in Shandong have not been rolled out in Fuzhou and other places for the time being.

Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou are about to lead the army out of Dengzhou, and before that, many things must be arranged.

Zhu Xianxuan stayed in Dengzhou, and was in charge of Shandong's affairs as a whole, with Zhang Pu's assistance, which was a matter that had been determined a long time ago, and did not need too many arrangements, but the matters involving Fuzhou County were still a little complicated, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou, there were not many problems, the key was Jinan, Yanzhou, and Dongchangfu, although these places had been affected by some influences, but because of the strength of the scholars, there were still some stubborn problems in many aspects.

The first problem is the problem of the vassal king, the fief is in Shandong, there are a total of three vassal kings, namely Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu, stationed in Yanzhou Mansion, Zhu Youshu, the king of De, stationed in Jinan Mansion, and Zhu Changshu, the king of Heng, with a fief in Qingzhou. Zhu Changshu, the king of Heng, because of Dorgon's invasion of Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places, and because of the rebellion in Denglai earlier, pleaded with the emperor many times, he had already moved out of Qingzhou and moved to Zhejiang, so Su Tiancheng was running Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou. There is no problem of meeting the vassal king.

But Shandong, which ruled the whole of Shandong, had to face the problem of the vassal king.

There were good and bad vassal kings in various places, especially after the imperial court allowed the feudal king and the prince's son to enter the imperial court as officials, and the rest of the children could participate in the imperial examination, many feudal kings began to be strict with their families, but there were also feudal kings who were really unsuccessful. Because the requirements of the royal family for the vassal kings were different in the past, they were not allowed to participate in politics, they were not allowed to talk nonsense, and they were absolutely not allowed to open their mouths about matters involving the government, so some vassal kings gave up on themselves, enjoyed life, and poisoned the people, but the emperor behaved towards the vassal kings in this regard. There is no restraint, and I probably hope that all the vassal kings will only know how to eat, drink and have fun.

Zhu Youshu, the king of virtue in Jinan, is a representative of this aspect.

King De was named Zhu Jianze, the son of Ming Yingzong, and it should be said that Zhu Youshu's generation, the blood relationship with the royal family has been relatively estranged, so naturally it has not received much attention, and Shandong has never been particularly peaceful. always likes to do things, so Zhu Youshu has also become self-defeating. is very embarrassing, in the city of Jinan, ordinary people talk about Zhu Youshu's name, they are all silent, bullying men and women, Zhu Youshu often does. But the government didn't care about these things, and watched Zhu Youshu mess up.

After Zhang Pu arrived in Shandong, he once impeached Zhu Youshu, but there was no action in the court, and Zhang Pu still felt strange. thought that Zhu Youshu had any special relationship, but later learned that all this was approved by the emperor, but Zhang Pu still thought of a way to warn Zhu Youshu from the side, making Zhu Youshu rein in a little.

As for Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu who is in Yanzhou Mansion, because he is too estranged from the royal family, if he has any bad moves, he may become the object of calculation, so he can still follow the rules and keep his distance.

On the question of how to deal with the vassal king, Su Tiancheng was a little embarrassed, and the key was his own identity.

Zhu Xianxuan is the king of Jin and his brother-in-law, Zhu Xianxin is the county lord, Zhu Xianxuan's sister, and his original wife, which makes Su Tiancheng's identity have the color of a vassal king.

Su Tiancheng has no prejudice against these vassal kings, but after contacting Zhu Xianxuan, he felt that the vassal kings are actually not simple, they have been in a different environment for a long time, most of their thoughts are very thorough, and they know how to protect themselves.

But these vassal kings are the symbol of the Ming Dynasty, after Su Tiancheng made up his mind to unify the Central Plains, he would definitely not allow the vassal king system to exist, and these vassal kings were the biggest potential threat, once Su Tiancheng's cavalry officially overthrew Zhu Youzhen, the vassal kings around the country may have their own cavalry, or were used by people with ulterior motives to rebel. Therefore, while Su Tiancheng overthrew Zhu Youzhen, he also had to free up his hands to deal with these vassal kings.

However, people's words are terrifying, Su Tiancheng has to think about it, his identity is different, if he really does something to these vassal kings, what will Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Xianxin think, will they have opinions in their hearts.

The reform of Dongchang Mansion is going very smoothly, there are small local reasons, but also because there is no vassal king, but Jinan Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion are different, the speed is a little slower, Yanzhou Prefecture Governor Xu Jili, has been reported several times, in the process of implementing reform, there are always some scholars to go to Lu Wang Zhu Yipai, to discuss things, and with the frequency of this discussion, Yanzhou began to appear some opposition force, Xu Jili also wanted to do it, but considering the identity of Zhu Yipai, he could only ask for instructions.

You must know that everything is going smoothly in Dongchang Mansion, Xu Jili and he can't think about it, between him and Gu Xingsong, the prefect of Dongchang Mansion, they are both good friends and competitors, seeing that Gu Xingsong is doing very well, of course he can't sit still.

As for Su Tianhao, who temporarily presided over all matters in Jinan Mansion, he was bolder, after all, he and Su Tiancheng were brothers, and there were several times when the subordinates in King De's mansion came out to make trouble, and they were ruthlessly suppressed by Su Tianhao, but Su Tianhao could not move King Zhu Youshu himself.

After thinking about it carefully, Su Tiancheng felt that he couldn't avoid this problem, he once thought that he would hand over this problem to Zhu Xianxuan to deal with directly, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate to do so, they were all vassal kings, and letting Zhu Xianxuan come out would not make the family in a dilemma.

This is a very special conversation, Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Xianxin are both in the wing, this is the first time that this kind of conversation has appeared.

Both of them are family members, and Su Tiancheng spoke very directly.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, Madam, there is one thing that I am very embarrassed about, I have long wanted to discuss it with you, but I feel embarrassed, but the matter must be handled, I hope to get your support."

It was the first time Zhu Xianxuan had seen Su Tiancheng so cautious, when Su Tiancheng dealt with the problem before, he thought about it and said it, and after everyone discussed, he immediately implemented it.

"Kun Yuan, if there is anything, just say it, won't my sister and I support you."

Zhu Xianxin looked at Su Tiancheng and didn't speak, she has been coming to Dengzhou for so long, she has always been by Su Tiancheng's side, she finally feels the comfort of her family, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, not to mention that Su Tiancheng is so good, no matter what she says, she supports it unconditionally.

"It's the issue that involves the Lu King Zhu Yipai and the German King Zhu Youshu, Xu Jili and Su Tianhao both reported it, saying that it was not easy to deal with the affairs of the two vassal kings, and I also felt embarrassed."

Zhu Xianxuan finally knew what was the embarrassment of Su Tiancheng as a Daoist, this question, he really didn't know the Dao, Su Tiancheng never said that as a vassal king, Zhu Xianxuan was embarrassed to serve as Su Tiancheng, such a problem is very difficult to deal with, not to mention that Su Tiancheng's identity is too special.

From this, Zhu Xianxuan also knew that Su Tiancheng attaches great importance to the family, and his sister is very important in Su Tiancheng's mind, according to such a thing, Su Tiancheng can directly ask to deal with it, but did not do this, but discussed with himself and his sister, just from this point of view, Su Tiancheng is a real man.

However, today's Zhu Xianxuan is not the previous Zhu Xianxuan, and his understanding has long changed.

"Kun Yuan, I know that you are embarrassed, and it is difficult for you to discuss with us today, my opinion is, you can deal with it as you like, if you feel embarrassed, this matter, leave it to me to deal with, and one more thing, from today on, you don't call me King Jin, whether in public or in private, what I said is true, if you call it like this, I may directly refute it, once you don't call me that, everyone will understand."

After Zhu Xianxuan finished speaking, Zhu Xianxin also spoke.

"If the husband thinks of something, just do it, and what he needs to do as a concubine, just tell him."

Su Tiancheng blinked, he didn't know what to say, but he still had to say it.

"King Jin...... No, my brother and Mrs. are very grateful for their support, my consideration, do not ask King Lu and King De to move away, but they must abide by the law, the same as ordinary people, the past things, I will not pursue it, if from now on, there is anything illegal and undisciplined, it must be punished, if it is done excessively, it is possible to kill the head, I also consider, once it is determined, I am ready to go to Yanzhou and Jinan, meet King Lu and King De, and make these things clear in person, As for the land problems and life problems of King De and King Lu, some changes must also be made, and the land policy implemented by Shandong is unlikely to have any changes because of the special nature of the two vassal kings. ”

A smile appeared on Zhu Xianxuan's face.

"Kun Yuan, you are still too polite, I understand what you mean, you have a lot of things, and you are about to prepare to leave, these things will be handled by me, I have the same identity as the two vassal kings, and it is justifiable to deal with this matter, and they can't say anything, don't worry, I will handle this matter safely."

This time, Su Tiancheng was really speechless. (To be continued......)
