Zhu Youlang is a very realistic person. When the transfer of imperial power, you must think of a reasonable solution. You must never bet on luck. This is the top priority for the people in the world. To be selfish, it is also a major event for Zhu Ming's descendants.

If a foolish monarch is released, he will not be able to make trouble for the Ming Dynasty. If a few foolish monarchs are released in a row, he will be really not far from the destruction of the country.

Since we cannot rely on personal feelings, the best way is to have a quantitative assessment of the princes' abilities.

The easiest way is to establish a royal school. All princes have to study in the royal school. Only by passing the assessment can they graduate and have the right to inherit.

Those with the best assessment can get the position of crown prince. This is fair and just, and no one will gossip, and will avoid disasters to the greatest extent.

Of course, not only the crown prince, but usually the prince must pass the assessment if he wants to be crowned king. However, the assessment standards are not as strict as those of the crown prince, and they can be moderately relaxed.

This is also to avoid a vassal king who eats and drinks.

You should know that the vassal kings all need to be raised by the court for money. If the court wastes all the money on raising pigs, it will be strange if it is not dragged down.

In fact, Zhu Youlang is very clear that restricting the rights of the vassal kings is the fundamental reason for the pig farming situation.

The vassal kings cannot do this, nor can they do it. There is indeed no good way except to stay in the palace and wait for death, have more children and receive more salary.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang decided to appropriately delegate some power to the vassal kings, which would not allow them to have nothing to do and be idle all day long.

As for the various generals and generals of the state and the auxiliary state below the county king, it can be compared.

Of course, the system of submission is inevitable.

The reason why there were more and more royal families in the Ming Dynasty was that Zhu Youlang established a guarantee system, and even if he had been born in ten generations, he would have a guarantee, and he was a royal family.

Other dynasties basically have titles and are generally not considered royal families after the five sermons.

This can greatly alleviate the financial pressure of the Ming Dynasty court and make the vitality of the Ming Dynasty more lasting and vigorous.

Otherwise, if the Ming Dynasty had so many royal families, even if it could barely deal with it now, it would have been a big rise in a hundred years.

Respond early and make reasonable plans so that the Ming Dynasty can continue for a long time.

"What, His Majesty the Emperor wants to set up a royal university?"

Zhang Huangyan was so surprised that he was extremely surprised when he heard this news.

Since the emergence of the imperial examinations in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, these have been important means for dynasties to select talents.

Although there are occasional cases of princes participating in the imperial examination, they are a minority after all, and they cannot see others under the guise.

The reason is also very simple. The imperial examination is to give scholars a chance. It is impossible to argue as a prince and a scholar to compete for food.

Now His Majesty the Emperor is even more exaggerated and directly set up the so-called royal university. Isn’t this the same as a disguised Imperial College?

Where is the Imperial College? It is the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty. How do you call these princes at that time?

You should know that they are exactly the same as the Imperial College Supervisor.

Zhang Huangyan agrees with His Majesty the Emperor, but Zhang Huangyan really cannot understand this matter.

The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and decided to enter the palace immediately to discuss with His Majesty.

…

…

Zhu Youlang did not expect that Zhang Huangyan entered the palace late at night.

Of course, only Zhang Huangyan has such power. This is the privilege given to him by Zhu Youlang, allowing him to enter and exit the palace ban with the token after locking the palace gate late at night.

Other ministers do not have such power at all.

Since Zhang Huangyan has been given such power, Zhu Youlang naturally has nothing to complain about.

Even if you have already reviewed the memorial and are ready to go to bed, you have to organize your clothes as soon as possible to receive them.

Of course, Zhu Youlang didn't know what Zhang Huangyan entered the palace for, but it must be a trivial matter.

But Zhang Huangyan came to the Ganqing Palace and went straight into the warm pavilion. After seeing Zhu Youlang, he bowed to him.

This is also the privilege given to him by Zhu Youlang, so there is no need to kneel down.

"I pay homage to your Majesty."

After Zhang Huang's words and deeds, he was given a seat by Zhu Youlang. Zhu Youlang asked in harmony: "What's wrong with Zhang Qing entering the palace late at night?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I am here to build a royal university."

Zhang Huangyan had already thought about it before coming, so he said it was firm and unhesitant.

"oh?"

Zhu Youlang was a little surprised.

He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought of this.

After all, Zhang Huangyan never asked about the palace affairs in the past. What happened this time?

"Tell me, let's see."

Zhu Youlang is very interested in what Zhang Huangyan thinks about this matter.

Zhang Huangyan cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is an unwise move."

Zhang Huangyan showed no mercy and pointed out directly: "In my opinion, the so-called royal university is actually a branch of the Imperial College. Where is the Imperial College? It is the place where scholars are the most concentrated in addition to the Hanlin Academy. The royal family is all royal family members. How can they get along with scholars? I know that the purpose of Your Majesty doing this is to give the royal family more things to give them more possibilities, but in this way, it may backfire, which will cause criticism from the court officials. And if you take a step back, what can you do if the royal family really reads books and reads the reputation? Could it be that you can still become an official?"

After Zhang Huangyan said that, Zhu Youlang said directly: "If they can really graduate from the royal family university, will it be better to give them official positions?"

Zhang Huangyan was really surprised. He said that he was meant to inspire His Majesty the Emperor, but he didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to think so.

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Your Majesty, the royal family is the royal family. How can the royal family become an official?"

Zhu Youlang felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He said with a stern face: "Why can't the royal family become an official? The royal family of the Song Dynasty can also be an official, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty can also be an official. Why can't it be done when it reaches the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Huangyan shook his head and said, "One time and another time. The number of clan members in the Tang and Song dynasties was limited, and even if some of them were officials, it didn't matter. But now the number of clan members in the Ming Dynasty is so large. If all of them are officials, wouldn't it occupy the resource opportunities of other scholars? If this is the case, scholars would not give up."

Zhu Youlang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Master Zhang misunderstood what I mean. I don't want all the royal families to compete with scholars for jobs, but just arrange jobs for the part of my graduation. In this way, they are not considered white-collar workers' salaries, and can contribute to the Ming Dynasty."
