Chapter 219 Continue to fool

Emperor Chongzhen was a very great emperor, a wise emperor.

In order not to let Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, go to cry to Xiaoling, Emperor Chongzhen had to agree to Zhu Yujian's request that the prime minister and the Grand Marshal were appointed by the Ming Dynasty court. If the vassal king had a candidate he liked, he had to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty or the royal family before he could take office.

As for other vassal kings who have replaced fiefs in the future, just like the examples of the Tang Dynasty, they will not let the vassal kings decide the prime minister and the magistrate.

Of course, except for this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to abide by what he said before, all domestic affairs were decided by the vassal kings.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that his teeth could be used as gold envoys, but Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, cursed while bleeding from his heart.

It can be said that Zhu Yujian has never seen such a shameless person when he grows up!

Wen Tiren and the little emperor Chongzhen really played a good double act. The king and his minister have now forced themselves into a dead end.

It can be foreseen that as long as today's incident spreads, the Ming Dynasty will praise themselves as a wise king.

However, among all the vassal kings, I was considered a stinking street.

What I said today can be said to be digging a hole for all the vassal kings who are willing to replace their fiefdoms in the future. At that time, the Tang king and his group would have no other way to go except to hold the local court of the Ming Dynasty.

For future vassal kings, they would definitely feel unhappy that the appointment power of the prime minister and the Grand Marshal were handed over to the country.

The court could breathe a lot. As long as the prime minister and the general lieutenant were controlled, there was no need to worry about the vassal states who would make any monsters in the future.

Just like the Seven Kings Rebellion during the rebellion of Emperor Xiaojing of Han, the reason why it did not turn into the Eight Kings Rebellion or even the Nine Kings Rebellion was largely due to the prime ministers of Huainan and Qi. Wei Wei was devoted to Chang'an and had already controlled the army before the rebellion was launched. Otherwise, there would be a headache for Emperor Xiaojing, and it was unknown whether the history of the Han Dynasty would have turned a corner first during the rebellion.

Emperor Chongzhen was secretly happy in his heart, thinking about what rewards to Wen Tiren should be given to him should not be too obvious, and he should not be in a hurry. At this moment, the young eunuch came to report that the British Duke Zhang Weixian had already entered the palace.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhang Weixian, he was shocked at first.

Although the old Duke was still energetic, he had obviously lost a lot of weight and was even older than before.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was secretly frightened, didn't care about the emperor's airs, stood up from the imperial throne, took two steps quickly, and asked, "Why are you so thin? But what's uncomfortable?"

After saying that, he ordered Wang Chengen to say, "Hurry up, pass on the imperial doctor!"

British Duke Zhang Weixian wanted to struggle to salute Emperor Chongzhen, but he struggled but failed to get out of it. Then he gave up: "My minister Zhang Weixian has seen Your Majesty."

Seeing that the anxious expression on Emperor Chongzhen's face remained unabated, Zhang Weixian bowed again and then said, "Your Majesty, I am not seriously injured. But I am old and it is inevitable that you will not worry about me."

Seeing Zhang Weixian saying this, Chongzhen was still worried and said to Wang Bucheng: "Come on a stool and let the British Duke sit and talk."'

After Zhang Weixian thanked him, he still sat half on the stool and bowed to Chongzhen and said, "I don't know what instructions did Your Majesty ask me to come?"

Chongzhen pondered for a while before continuing: "It's nothing big, it's just about replacing the fiefdom for Uncle Wang.

I want to ask the Duke of England what is the best place to replace it, and I also want Uncle Wang to select soldiers from the garrison, but I don’t know which garrison should be chosen better.”

When Zhang Weixian heard this, he pondered for a while. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, if it is said that the fiefdom is replaced, now except for the Ming Dynasty, except for the Ryukyu area and the grassland, Liaodong, and other places can be used.

Although the Great Ryukyu is alone overseas, if there are enemies on the sea, the Great Ryukyu can be the first line of defense, and can even attack and retreat, so as not to burn the war to the local land of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the grasslands and Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty is now growing stronger and stronger. In the future, it is more appropriate to include the land and grasslands in Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the south side, besides the existing foreign countries, you can let His Highness the Grandson of the Tang King go."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt so distressed: "Isn't the land of South China Sea also an important place like the Great Ryukyu?"

Zhang Weixian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the South Ocean is so big, and there are countless islands. Ten people are called heroes, and hundreds of people are called kings. Thousands of achievements are a country.

Moreover, the land is far away from the Ming Dynasty and is not educated by our Central Plains. It has its own language and is inconvenient to control it. It is better to simply grant it to His Highness the Grand His Royal Highness, the Savages, and move to our Ming people. It will be considered as expanding territory, right?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed as the British Duke Zhang Weixian said.

Not to mention other places, even in Myanmar, it will take more than a month to pass by quickly from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, it still has to be a good horse, and it will be a constant stop, otherwise it will be normal to delay it for two or three months.

Just because I was far away, there was not much use for control. To be honest, the land in Nanyang was like a piece of chicken ribs to the Ming Dynasty. It was tasteless to eat, but it was a pity to throw it away.

Emperor Chongzhen finally understood why, with the aggressive nature of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu, he was just constantly advancing to the grassland, rather than going south to deal with the Nanyang side.

Propel northward to the grassland, and there are cattle, sheep and horses that can be brought back. What are the cattle, sheep and horses in the south? Pipi shrimp? Or oysters? Or scallops?

The problem is that these are the things that Ming Chengzu didn’t know. At that time, there were no such things as steamed scallops like garlic vermicelli. I didn’t know how to eat them after they got them.

For the leaders at the entrance of Zhongyuan Hall, they cannot eat, and the place is small, so there are many savages squatting on the trees to eat fruits. The broken place in Nanyang is a place where saints cannot be found, and that is the only one who is useless. Therefore, for thousands of years, except for the First Emperor who is determined to go north and south to build territory, the remaining big men have not thought about going to build Nanyang.

It connected Liu Bang, the old gangster at the entrance of the First Emperor's Hall, and later Han emperors, basically all agreed that Yue Tuo was independent in Nanyue, that there was nothing to be needed in that broken place.

However, Emperor Chongzhen is different.

As a time traveler, no matter how bad he was, Chongzhen knew how important Nanyang was in later generations.

It is because many small countries on that land are not the same as flower growers that Ying Jiang dares to send a fleet of routes to disgust the rabbit.

Not to mention, what is produced in Nanyang? Coconut? This thing is said to be of great medicinal value, and it is delicious and good.

Pipi shrimp, big crabs, oysters, scallops, and basically all kinds of seafood are produced. As a horseman in a big foodie empire, Emperor Chongzhen also said that he could not be taken away by anyone else! Nanyang must be the flower grower, and the land in Lijiapo must also be!

Li Jiapo?

Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen, who was surprised when he thought of this place, was so happy that he simply said to Zhu Yujian, British Duke Zhang Weixian, Wen Tiren and others: "Come on, let's take a look here."

Zhang Weixian looked at Zhu Yujian and smiled and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this place is like the Great Ryukyu, and it is not appropriate to be granted a feudal title. It is better to wait until the Ming Navy restores its scale during the Yongle period and then garrison it."

Zhu Yujian's heart has already started to curse Chongzhen, the little bastard emperor. You don't want to give me any place, right? First, he sang a double act with Wen Tiren, and now he has a British Duke to sing a double act with you. How about you just take me overseas and then raise me as a pig?

If you don’t give this piece of land or that piece of land, you still say Nanyang, are you planning to get me surrounded by the imperial army again?

In the spirit of being disgusted by himself, Zhu Yujian bowed and said, "I think the land is good, I would like to ask your Majesty to express my grace."

If Zhang Weixian hadn't said this, Emperor Chongzhen would have dared to wave his hand and give Li Jiapo to Zhu Yujian.

But now Zhang Weixian did not shy away from anything, and even risked the risk of offending the Tang King's Sect, so he understood. Emperor Chongzhen began to reluctantly let Li Jiapo go, sooner or later, it was all my own. What's the matter with the Tang King's Sect?

Although the meat is rotten in the pot, I will definitely have several sons in the future. It would be great to give it to my son at that time.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in pain, suddenly thought of the third brother in later generations.

Third brother is not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty now, and that land is a good place.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Don't you know if Uncle Wang knows this place of body poison?"

When Zhu Yujian heard this, he roughly understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant to change himself to that piece of land.

After thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with that piece of land. Zhu Yujian bowed and said, "I know something about your Majesty. In the former Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance once hired a single cavalry to slaughter the poison."

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Yes, this is the place. I used to read the books in the palace and found that the body poisonous place produces a lot of things, which is quite beneficial."

Zhu Yujian said curiously: "I don't know what it is?"

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhu Yujian's advance, he continued, "This place is rich in gems. I have read in the book that this place produces a blue gem, which is quite charming. However, since the Anshi Rebellion in the former Tang Dynasty, it was unable to advance westward, so it did not destroy the poison of the body.

Now that I have been following my own words, I cannot exchange the land of Ryukyu and Maluojia for Uncle Wang, so I can replace it with the land of poison?”

Zhu Yujian was originally quite worried that physical poison was a broken place where birds could not shit, but now when he heard that there were many gems there, he felt very satisfied.

Now, Zhu Yujian doesn't expect Emperor Chongzhen's pitiful conscience to be left, probably he had already fed the dog!

I had thought that Emperor Chongzhen would give him benefits. After the incident between Wen Tiren and Zhang Weixian, Zhu Yujian understood why Emperor Chongzhen became better and better after becoming the Ming Dynasty after he ascended the throne, like Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di, who were as shameless as those who were greedy and afraid of death in the court?

Of course, it was said that Emperor Chongzhen was fed the dog with his conscience, but at least there was still a little left. So, the benefits to himself came.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhu Yujian did not speak, and thought that Zhu Yujian thought India was not good. Emperor Chongzhen simply pointed out the topic: "The place is not only rich in gems, but also ripens twice a year. The land is very fertile, and even if the seeds are thrown down, they can produce grain.

I promised another point: the size of the territory that Uncle Wang can lead his troops to capture, the size of the fiefdom of the King of Tang is, and how?

If it weren't for the purpose of compensating Uncle Wang, I wouldn't be willing to replace it, and at least I would have to keep it for future princes."

Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's half temptation and half threatening words, Zhu Yujian hurriedly bowed and said, "I am willing to replace it here. Thank you for your kindness!"

Seeing that Zhu Yujian finally agreed to the replacement plan, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "It's so good. Now let's talk about the garrison and the recruitment of refugees."

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen finally turned his slogan back, Zhang Weixian bowed and said, "I have a question. Should His Highness, the Grandpa, the King of Tang, be recruiting troops from the garrison or from the garrison?"

Chongzhen whispered, "Of course I recruited from the garrison. Even if the people in the ban country are enfeoffed, I also promised Uncle Wang to recruit refugees."

Zhang Weixian bowed and said, "I will report to Your Majesty. If this is the case, the refugees will not be recruited in advance."

Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Yujian both looked at Zhang Weixian curiously.

Zhang Weixian continued: "Your Majesty, if the fiefs are replaced in the Ming Dynasty, it would be nothing to recruit or not to recruit refugees.

But His Highness's trip was a founding move. At that time, he brought a large number of refugees to him, who would protect him? If it was protected by soldiers, who would rely on to fight?"

Emperor Chongzhen cursed in his heart, "Damn it, so many refugees in Shaanxi are still supported by me?"

But what Zhang Weixian said is also true.

At the beginning, Zhu Yujian was so happy that he was a little confused, while Emperor Chongzhen simply didn't expect such a thing.

Emperor Chongzhen now waved his hand and promised India to Zhu Yujian on the geomancy map to explore the territory himself, but what about it?

India also has its own natives!

Especially those three brothers in later generations, they drove out of the Milky Way, what kind of motorcycle transported a squad or even a platoon of troops, what tickets were issued on the train, and what missiles would blow up such a terrible third brother nation after they flew out. Emperor Chongzhen really didn't know if Zhu Yujian could do it...

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to let Zhu Yujian take money to support the victims in Shaanxi first, but for his pitiful conscience, let's forget it. Let Zhu Yujian take the money first to recruit soldiers to fight against India. Anyway, the money will be all in his hands in the end.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had figured it out, nodded and said, "This is what I think badly. Since that's the case, let Uncle Wang recruit soldiers from the garrison, and after he has calmed down his body, he will recruit refugees from the Ming Dynasty. But how should this garrison choose?"

Zhang Weixian bowed and said, "I think that in addition to the garrisons in the Jiubian and Liaodong, there are also the Jing camp and the new army. Among the remaining garrisons, your highness will choose at will, especially the soldiers in the Ganzhou and Shaanxi area, and you will give your highness the first choice."
