Shortly after returning to the palace, the imperial edict in the palace came. This was the first time that Zhu Youjian officially received the edict in his life, and ordered the innocence table and change into clothes in the palace. Zhu Youjian came to the main hall to receive the edict.

The eunuch who came to pass the imperial edict was surnamed Liu, and he didn't say nonsense. Seeing that Zhu Youjian had arrived, he said, "Your Majesty has an imperial edict, I believe that King Zhu Youjian will receive the imperial edict."

Zhu Youjian knelt down and said, "I will accept the order."

Eunuch Liu read: "In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered that King Zhu Youjian, the fifth son of the emperor, was my younger brother, and he was a long-lasting and diligent person.

Filial piety is achieved in nature, and the son’s way is not damaged; the Qing cavalry is in life, and he is not lazy; he is meticulous in his mind and calm in his rituals. He is given a treasure and named you the King of Zhao, and will always be in Jinzhou. He will not replace him forever. In addition, Jinzhou is located on the nine sides, and the three guards of King Xin will be restored, and the officials of the royal palace will choose the best choices for themselves!"

Unexpectedly, he was granted the title of Jinzhou, which was the forefront of the Ming Dynasty and Nurhaci in the future. What surprised Zhu Youjian the most was the three guards. The Ming Dynasty Taizu's priest system, and the kings could set up three guards, each guarding three guards of three thousand to ten thousand.

However, since the Chengzu Jingnan, Zhu Di started his own business with the three guards, so he naturally knew that too many soldiers of the kings would threaten the imperial power. Therefore, he strictly restricted the kings and could not exceed 300 guards in each prefecture. Unexpectedly, Tianqi actually gave him this power, which was like a tiger.

It seems that his prince's career is very exciting. This thought flashed through Zhu Youjian's mind, and Zhu Youjian said, "I will receive the order and thank God for your kindness."

After receiving the order, he knew that Zhu Youjian was very popular with Tianqi, so the eunuch dared not ask for help. He smiled and helped Zhu Youjian up and said, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince. I hope the prince will take his servants in the future."

He knew the elegance when he heard the string song. He took out a silver note of fifty taels from his sleeve and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand. Zhu Youjian said: "Thank you for your hard work, I have a little bit of my heart to buy a cup of tea."

King Xin was so good at speaking. Eunuch Liu smiled like a chrysanthemum with his old face. He said that the prince was polite and his hands were not slow at all.

After sitting down for a few polite words, Eunuch Liu didn't leave much. He ordered Wang Chengen to send him out of the mansion. Zhu Youjian took the imperial edict and looked at it carefully again.

After lunch, someone came to report to Wen Zhenmeng. Zhu Youjian happened to want to discuss matters with Wen Zhenmeng and hurried out to greet him.

When he walked to the door, he saw a man following Wen Zhenmeng, who was eight feet tall and majestic, and he was a talented person. In amazement, he heard Wen Zhenmeng introduce: "Prince, this person is my old friend, Sun Chuanting. Today he also arrived in the capital, so I brought him to see the prince together. I hope the prince will not blame me for making his own decisions."

Idol! A fierce man! Zhu Youjian couldn't help but admire a person who captured Gao Yingxiang alive for six months after taking office and was given the title of "speaking the death of the court and the death of the world" by the Ming history compiled by the Qing Dynasty.

He passed by excitedly and grabbed Sun Chuanting and said, "With Mr. Sun's help, what will happen to Xiao Wang? Mr. Wen's recommendation is a meritorious, how can Xiao Wang blame him?"

Sun Chuanting had only worked as the head of the Ministry of Personnel, but saw the court storm and returned home in a panic. This time, he heard his friend Wen Zhenmeng praising King Xin, and he originally wanted to observe it first before making a decision. However, he did not expect that King Xin would not have any airs when he saw him, a commoner.

Sun Chuanting bowed and said, "I have resigned from my post and returned home for two years. Now I am idle at home. I am just a commoner. The prince is so frustrated. I am so frightened!"

Zhu Youjian said, "Sir, great talent, Xiao Wang has heard of his great reputation for a long time. Please come to the palace quickly." After saying that, he led Wen Zhenmeng and Sun Chuanting to the study.

He ordered the maid to bring tea, and Zhu Youjian said, "The two gentlemen don't know that Xiao Wang has changed his title to King Zhao, and his fief is in Jinzhou, Liaodong. After getting married, he will go to the vassal state. If the two gentlemen do not dislike the royal palace, can they be willing to serve as officials of the royal palace?"

Wen Zhenmeng Dao: "I am naturally willing. Since I impeached the eunuch party, I have been expelled from the court. I can serve the prince and also help the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Sun Chuanting said: "Wen Qi (Wen Zhenmeng, whose courtesy name is Wen Qi) traveled a long distance to visit his ministers. Now the prince is a vassal, and Sun is willing to follow the prince to do something! But does the prince know that Jinzhou is located in Liaodong and is not far from the barbarians of the Later Jin Dynasty. Does the prince have any barriers to settle down?"

When Zhu Youjian heard Sun Chuanting's affirmative reply, he said happily: "Now Xiao Wang is a vassal, and Your Majesty is also worried about the safety of Jinzhou. He specially allowed me to recruit three guards to protect a pure land."

It seems that this prince Jian is in the heart of the emperor. Sun Chuanting is overjoyed with the space for the three guards to swing.

Zhu Youjian said: "It's just that the three guards are just an air now. Xiao Wang has never entered the military and has never read a few military books. He still needs to rely on the guidance of two gentlemen."

Wen Zhenmeng was also a civil official, so he didn't know where to start if he wanted to tell the rules of the law.

But I heard Sun Chuanting say, "I have a little foolish opinion."

Zhu Youjian said: "What are your opinions? Just say it."

Sun Chuanting said: "Since the court gave the prince the right to the three guards, it would be the money and food for the three guards. However, now that wars are frequent in Liaodong, most people in the pass are unwilling to go to the outside of the pass to serve in the army. If the prince summoned the troops from the pass, not to mention the high salary, I am afraid that the quality of the troops recruited is not high. According to my opinion, the prince might as well go outside the pass first and recruit soldiers directly from the displaced refugees outside the pass. With the Liao people defending the land of Liao, Liaodong was their homeland. If a war broke out, the morale of the army would definitely be available!"
