Explanation of some historical settings in the text

Let the clicks and the recommendation tickets come more violently!!!

Recently, many readers have asked the same topic, that is, how could the fief of King Xin be in Kaifeng?

I have also checked a lot of information about this problem before writing. In history, King Xin had a fiefdom and had been in the fiefdom for a year. As far as I know, King Xin's fiefdom may be Kaifeng, but what everyone suspects is that Kaifeng is not the fiefdom of King Zhou? My explanation is: Kaifeng was once designated as the founding capital by Zhu Yuanzhang, and was once named Beijing. After Zhu Yuanzhang officially established the capital of Nanjing, he gave Kaifeng to his fifth son Zhu Su. However, after the Jingnan Incident, King Yan Zhu Di became the emperor. Naturally, he did not want the vassal kings to rebel and seize his throne in the future, so he took back all the military and political power of the vassal kings.

The vassal kings in various places are not allowed to interfere in local military and political affairs. The state allocates money and grain to them every year. Most of them have their own land, so they are quite satisfied with their lives. There were few examples of vassal kings rebelling in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youjian was also the fifth brother. It may be a coincidence that Kaifeng was the first capital of the Ming Dynasty. We do not know the possible intentions of Emperor Tianqi. However, the fief does not mean that Kaifeng was handed over to him and he will not care about anything in the future. This nominal fief has been in name only. Therefore, King Xin was sealed in Kaifeng, but only gave him part of the land, not just to give Kaifeng. I hope readers will understand this.

There is any question about eunuchs calling themselves "slaves". This person with some historical knowledge can probably understand it. I won't explain it much.

Lantiancao asked, in the Ming Dynasty, all princes and grandchildren who had no hope of inheriting the throne were forbidden to learn cultural knowledge. Basically, they were raised as pigs. Any prince who behaved a little bit unruly will be caught by the omnipresent Jinyiwei. Zhu Yinglong's actions in this book were only executed, not to mention having the opportunity to become emperor after Zhu Youxiao's death.
