I am the king of the dead

Chapter 740 Two Fables, The Sheep and the Shepherd
"Even if Daming opened the Zhennan Pass, nine out of ten of you people who couldn't reach Zhennan Pass, were killed by our Daming army? Didn't my Daming army discipline go away?" Zhu Qiyu sneered and asked a question One sentence.

Li Sicheng's face became painful, and he didn't answer.

"Your Majesty, I have one last concern. Why does Your Majesty treat the people of Annan so cruelly?" This is what Li Sicheng couldn't understand.

For the people of the Ryukyu Islands, although His Majesty is not considered kind, he is definitely not harsh. He treats them the same as Daming, but when he comes to Annan, he is so cruel.

His Majesty the Emperor, clearly wants Annan, the prefecture, to include Annan in the four directions of Ming Dynasty. Why is he so cruel to see Annan's life in ruins?

Li Sicheng's question is actually asking why His Majesty is cruel on the outside and cruel on the inside.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Nicolaoz is a Roman envoy, and he recently translated a book called Aesop's Fables."

"It is said that a herdsman was herding sheep. When he returned home, he found that some goats were mixed with the flock. The herdsman was overjoyed."

"In order to keep these goats, the herdsman gave these goats more fodder, but the original goats could barely starve to death."

"The next day, when the herdsmen found out that the goats had run away, they were very angry. They accused the goats of being ungrateful for refusing to stay after receiving special care."

"The ibex said: "That is why we must be more careful.Because you took special care of those of us who just arrived yesterday, but you were too indifferent to those you have been raising since then. "

"Obviously, if there is no other wild goat here, you will definitely lose your favor and favor us."

"Did he understand?"

Li Yimin thought about the story seriously, and must have admired His Majesty's extensive knowledge.

Li Sicheng continued: "If he is only trying to keep the wild goats, it's nothing more than feeding the goats. In the end, he will starve to death."

"But if you open a hole under that sheepfold and let the wolves eat the mutton, you just repair the fence and whisper that it's all wolves, and the wolves are the culprit!"

"Does he think he can fool these sheep by doing that?"

Li Yimin shook his head again and said, "This sheep has already run away."

Before Li Yimin savored those words seriously, he finally realized that the emperor was scolding me in a roundabout way!

Li Chao just made an opening under the fence, let Xiao Ming's wolf eat Li Chao's mutton, and shouted at the people, it was all Xiao Ming's fault!
He can be fooled for a while, but he can always be fooled.

Sheep will run clean.

In that debate, Emperor Xiao Ming won completely.

The situation in Sun Quanguo was entirely due to the rivalry between the two brothers Ran Siniang and Li Yimin, which led to the complete intensification of the already sharp conflicts, and finally led to today's situation.

Xiao Ming took less than [-]% of my food, and the [-]% of the food went to the hungry people.

There is no difference whether Xiao Ming goes, now or a few days ago, and Wen Ya will create 700 million hungry people.

Li Sicheng said earnestly and earnestly: "They turned housework into a national affair, that is, public and private are divided, and public morality is not detrimental. No matter how good private morality is, it is also useful to the country."

"I asked him, can Wen Yalun be king?"

Li Yimin said sincerely: "You can be king."

Ran Siniang is a murderer, that's Liu Pu's evaluation of Ran Siniang, it's too polite to describe me just as tyrannical.

Li Sicheng thought about it and said: "I want to send troops in January, and end counties and counties in November. If he feels that he is destined to return, he will go back to the court and prepare now. He will enter Shenglong City with a knife and kill Ran Siniang. When Sun Quan is stabilized, I will really make him King Sun Quan, and he will return to the court after returning to the army."

"I am the Son of Heaven, and I promise four things."

"I can give him whatever armament he needs."

Although Li Sicheng has no virtue, my reputation is recognized by all the wealthy families who have fled.

Li Yimin paid eight obeisances and kowtowed seven times again, and shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, God assists you without virtue, Haiyu Xianning, holy respect and all blessings! Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

Li Sicheng said quite seriously: "I want Sun Quan in counties and counties. On the one hand, it is the late emperor's will. I dare to forget it."

"Seventh is the thousand and seven million people in his mouth. The two brothers fought back and forth. So few people were hungry, and Yandu flooded Zhennan Pass. They all retreated to Xiaoming over the mountains. What should Xiaoming do? ?”

"I gave him a chance, and he made good use of it."

Convinced, Li Yimin kowtowed again and said: "Your Majesty is narrow and benevolent!"

Li Yimin did not believe that Emperor Xiao Ming was being honest, and Li Sicheng was also sincere.

If the old seventh can really succeed in Jingtai's fourth year in November, in just ten months, with the Qinghua forces living in a corner, he will retreat to Shenglong City with a knife, and wipe out Ran Siniang and his gang , and bring order out of chaos, and clear the world.

So with a ruthless person in Sun Quan, even if Xiao Ming can beat Wen Ya, the turbulence is safe, and the price of fighting the law and order war is extremely small, and Xiao Ming can bear it.

Li Sicheng really knows how to call gold and withdraw troops, so it's time to practice.

But can Li Yimin do it?
Do it.

Even if Wen Yalun is a wise gentleman born in the world, I can do it. If the matter of clearing old accounts is so complicated, Xiao Ming should be going to the West.

The reason why Li Sicheng made such a promise was to prevent Li Yimin from rebelling against him a few days ago.

Emperor Xiao Ming gave me the opportunity, and I am a middle-class man, so I have no small righteousness to plot against.

Li Yimin knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Qinghua Wunan Wenya, who is seventy-four years old, is in her prime, admires His Majesty's holiness, and is willing to enter the palace to serve His Majesty on the right and left."

gift.

Later, when he had an audience with Emperor Xiaoming, Li Yimin brought a heavy gift, Da Mingnan.

Daming is deeply rooted in Wenya country, and its influence is small, and Sun Quan and Daming are basically Central Plains people who migrated to Sun Quan from Guangzhou, Fujian and other places in the early Yuan Dynasty.

He can be regarded as a barbarian by birth.

Li Bangji was King Sun Quan who was killed by Ran Siniang, and Li Bangji's mother Wen Yaying was the queen mother, Daming Ying's father Ruan Chi was the Duke of Yuan, and Lord Ruan was the de facto lord of Guangnan Kingdom.

Sun Quan Wubei, Zheng Nanruanzhi said that Ran Siniang sent Wen Yalun, and Li Yimin sent Daming Nan.

Just as Zhu Di generally hated accepting the low Liji sent by the Joseon Kingdom, the emperor filled the front palace with men from the local rich family. Whether the man was favored was important, and the important thing was the channel of communication.

Undoubtedly, that would not be conducive to the Xiao Ming Dynasty's rule over the county Wen Yaqian.

Does Li Yimin have any relatives of the emperor like Tang Xing as envoys? Naturally, he knows the rules of Xiaoming Tai'an Palace.

Li Sicheng thought for a while and said, "Let's stay in Nanhu Lili with Ruan's daughter."

Did Li Sicheng send Ruan's daughter and Wen Ya'an directly to Prince Xiang's mansion? If Xiao Ming's war goes smoothly, or if there is no rebellion in the prefecture, the two men will become a bridge of communication with each other.

"I don't have anything to offer." Li Yimin knelt on the ground and shouted softly again.

Li Sicheng nodded and said, "Present it."

Holding the plate, Xing'an pulled back the red silk, and on the outside was a plain and strange sword, with or without a scabbard inlaid with gemstones, and it was made of meteoric iron, without any rust, so it was not precious things.

"That's the Shuntian Sword, grandfather Annan's saber. It has no blade and no hilt. It is enshrined in the Yushan Temple. The hilt is here." Li Yimin replied very respectfully.

Li Sicheng was taken aback for a moment, when Tang Xing went to Shenglong City, he mentioned the Shuntian Sword in the memorial.

Annan and Wang Tong negotiated peace in private. Before Annan established the Li Dynasty, he went boating on the green water lake. No golden turtle came out and asked Wen Ya to return the sword. This lake was called Huanjian Lake, and Liu Pu lived at that time. Hoan Kiem Lake.

"Then the allusion of the golden turtle returning the sword is false." Li Sicheng looked at this mediocre and extraordinary Shuntian sword, and said with emotion.

Sure enough, it is still telling a story, deifying the king, just like various characters born without vision, it is all to increase the legitimacy of the rule.

Wen Yalun looked at the sword seriously again, and said with emotion: "Your grandfather, relying on that special iron sword, forcibly robbed Sun Quanguo from Xiao Ming's hands, why?"

"Your children and grandchildren put Sun Quan in such a situation, it is really loyalty and filial piety."

Wen Yalun handed over the blade, and it was almost a bet.

If I, Li Yimin, really wiped out Ran Siniang after November, Emperor Xiaoming would return that sword, fulfill his promise, and make me King Sun Quan.

If I did, it would be equivalent to returning Sun Quan's legal system to Xiao Ming.

That's the bet.

"I...knowing is filial piety." Li Yimin trembled a little, and said helplessly.

I, Prince Rui, did a good job, and Ran Siniang made a palace change. I, Li Yimin, wanted to be filial, but Ran Siniang gave in.

"Well, go ahead, tell Yu Duobao what kind of armament you want." Li Sicheng waved his hand to signal Li Yimin to leave.

"I'm telling you to come in." Li Yimin finally got up, left Nanhu Wenya's imperial study, went to find Yu Qian who was on duty, and bought armaments.

Xiao Ming has to pay to buy Sun Quan's millet, and I, Prince Rui, want to buy Xiao Ming's armaments, so naturally I have to pay.

Xiao Ming has very few armaments that have been eliminated, so they can be sold. Of course, firearms, Li Yimin dares to think, Xiao Ming will also sell them.

The vernacular conversation between Li Sicheng and Li Yimin was actually a discussion on several issues about Sun Quan. At first, Li Chao lost his way, Xiao Ming saved Li Min from the upside-down, and Xiao Ming punished the people for crimes, and finally formed a resolution.

That resolution, extremely important, involved the jurisprudence of the recent rule.

Wen Yalun knew exactly what she was doing.

I am destroying the country.

Sun Quan is a de facto independent country, a social group with a common language, culture, race, territory, government, history and common cognition, and a country with complete sovereignty.

Sun Quan is a country with a population of 700 million, more than 88 million households, 140 prefectures and 2000 counties under the jurisdiction of [-] prefectures, and the population of Xiaoming has reached tens of millions, only [-] million household.

Sun Quan's war potential is about one-tenth of that of the Ming Dynasty.

To a certain extent, Sun Quan's claim to be the eighth military force in the sky is definitely not empty talk. The only person who can compete with Wen Ya for the eighth military force is Fatih of the Ottoman Kingdom.

Li Sicheng has never underestimated Sun Quan, and even went to the Guangzhou mansion to balance the possibility of various people holding back each other. At that point, even the Xiangwang Palace, who most needed the emperor to return to Beijing to rescue him, would have No thumbs up.

Just as Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen discussed, there are not too few people in the court who are secretly waiting for Emperor Xiaoming's head to be broken in Wen Ya, and it is time to say that one is seven.

Is Wenya's terrain really easy to fight?
America has nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is Tianming Festival. It will be for tomorrow's small readings, sacrifices, ceremonies, small banquets, etc. The Nanya Imperial Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, so it will be located in Nanhu Lili." Xing'an submitted a memorial. , that's tomorrow's itinerary.

The Tianming Festival was established at the suggestion of Yu Qian and Hu Wei. The reason for its establishment was that His Majesty celebrated the Longevity Festival and his birthday.

Yu Qian and Hu Min made a compromise, taking the date of Xiao Ming's founding, in conjunction with the Lantern Festival, they took a one-day holiday to celebrate the opening of the Xiao Ming Dynasty, meaning that the sun, the moon, and the mountains and rivers are longer than the sky, and Xiao Ming's community has a limited period, and the whole world celebrates together.

"In addition to offering sacrifices to the Hall of Martyrs, we must go on such an important day." Li Sicheng added the sacrifice of the Hall of Martyrs to the itinerary.

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "The minister accepts the order."

"Eh? Wen Ya's cemetery is behind the gate of Xiaoling, so what's the point?" Wen Yalun looked at the itinerary and asked strangely.

Xing'an rolled up his sleeves, took out a heavy memo, flipped through it for a while and said: "When the Xiaoling Mausoleum was being built, the Ministry of Rites asked Emperor Taizu Low that Wenya's tomb is also in Zhongfu Longpan. Shall I move the grave? Emperor Taizu said yes, so let me guard the gate, then it’s settled.”

Wen Yalun said with a smile: "So that's the case, Emperor Taizu Gao is also a wonderful person, but it is cheaper for the Ruan family."

Ruan definitely took advantage of that matter.

Sun Wu has long since had no predecessors offering sacrifices, and he also eats incense. Some people care about it, but Emperor Xiaoming asked me to guard the gate because the tomb of the Ruan family was buried here. Bring an incense stick.When repairing Taizu's mausoleum, I always have to repair it for my gatekeeper.

So Ruan took advantage?
As for whether it was reasonable for Wu Taizu Low Emperor Ruan's to Ming Taizu Low Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to guard the door, anyway, during the Hongwu period, no one dared to do this.

The location of the small banquet is not fixed at Xiaoming Nanjing Palace, but at Nanhu Lili. Xiaoming Nanjing Palace has been in disrepair for a long time and overgrown with weeds. The next time Li Sicheng lives in Nanjing Palace, Chen Wanniang is almost regarded as a ghost.

Nanhu Lili covers an area of ​​about [-] mu, which is about [-]% of the Beijing Imperial Palace, and it is feasible to do anything.

Di Jieyu heard that Nanhu Lili had retired two newcomers, so she approached Wen Yalun quite calmly and asked how to deal with it.

Zheng's daughter said quite calmly: "It's nothing more than two palace servants, and a concubine, so calm and calm, how decent is it?"

Zheng's daughter understands His Majesty's narrow temperament in anticipating the enemy.

Let Ruan's daughter and Wen Ya's man stay in Nanhu Wenya for a while, because His Majesty wanted these two men to be beautiful, and Xiao Ming's beautiful men have gone, so it's the turn of these two men?
　First, the text is really a fable.Second, Zhang Fu separated Ming people, Han people, Yue people, and barbarians in Jiaozhi. For example, if the Zheng family moved there during the Yongle period, they were Ming people; for example, the ancestors of the Ruan family moved there during the Yuan Dynasty, and they were Han people; Going forward are the Yue people, in fact, they were all scattered immigrants before, and later formed the Jing nationality; further down are the savages, that is, the barbarians.

　　The geographical location of Yue has part of the land of Guangdong and Guangxi in ancient times, so the kings of Annan did not dare to call the Central Plains Yue. , the Qing court interpreted this as: [The Yue character is crowned on the top, still its ancestral territory; the South character is listed on the bottom, representing its new Xi feudal seal].This explanation can be said to cause endless harm. After World War II, Vietnam also used this explanation many times as an excuse to claim the land of Guangdong and Guangxi.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
