Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 519
Pan Mei has a very high sense of politics, and she is one of the best among the military officials in the imperial court. Even old veterans like Fu Yanqing and Wang Jing can be compared with him.

This time, the real power given to Pan Mei by Luo Youdu in the Southern Expedition was great, even surpassing that of Cao Bin in the Southern Expedition to the South.

Especially in the matter of cochin, Luo Youdu gave him the right to be independent.

The more this is the case, the more cautious Pan Mei is. She is cautious and prudent in choosing the object of support from the imperial court.

For armed forces like the Twelve Envoys and Ding Buling, Pan Mei chose Chen Lan after repeated research and dissection.

Next, wait for the canonized envoy arranged by Luo Youdu to arrive, and Chen Lan can uphold the righteousness of the Central Plains and unify Jiaozhi.

At this critical juncture, a spoiler suddenly appeared, whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was enough to wake up Pan Mei.

The two exchanged tentative greetings.

Ding Yu said: "Jozhi in Annan has been the homeland of China since the first emperor, and we are all Zhongyuan citizens. It is Wu Quan who does not know the heights of the sky and the earth, and establishes the Wu Dynasty on his own. My master Ding Shishi has always adhered to the policy of focusing on the Central Plains and refused to cooperate with Wu. Dynasty exchanges. If it wasn’t for the Lingnan Liu family blocking the way of paying tribute, our lord would have sent envoys to Bianjing to pay tribute. Knowing that Pandu destroyed the puppet Han, my lord was surprised and delighted. It took more than a month to prepare two big gifts. One One as a meeting gift from Pandu, and one as a gift to the imperial court."

He knows that Zhongyuan has always been good at this.

What ancient times is the hometown of China.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, anyway, Jiaozhi is sold out.

As for his non-recognition of the Wu Dynasty, it is true.

But if you really want to say that it is for the Central Plains, then it is nonsense.

It was because Ding Buling was unwilling to pay taxes, and then he fought with Southern Jin King Wu Changwen and Tiance King Wu Changji.

Pan Mei said solemnly: "I never imagined that there would be such a loyal person in Jiaozhi. Pan will tell His Majesty everything."

Naturally, what Ding Yu wanted was not such a perfunctory sentence, but to seek real benefits and be conferred by the Central Plains court.

With canonization, there is righteousness. Now that Hualudong is rich and has strong military strength, he has won most of Jiaozhi before Chen Lan to prove his ability.

Pan Mei was well aware that she was superb in Tai Chi Kungfu, and she repeatedly emphasized that she was just a governor in Lingnan and had no right to interfere in Jiaozhi's state affairs.

At the same time, he said calmly, "Your Majesty has repeatedly asked Pan to pay attention to neighbor relations and maintain stability and peace in the South China Sea. It seems that he has no intention of interfering in intercourse."

If he hadn't already got the news from Chen Lan, Ding Yu would have almost believed it.

He could see that Pan Mei had no intention of changing, and no longer forced her.

They didn't expect smooth sailing at all, they just paid a visit to the pier today to establish a good relationship with Pan Mei and prepare for the future.

The two no longer talked about state affairs, and simply had friendly exchanges.

Although Ding Yu is a native of Cochin, he has a high degree of Sinicization, and Pan Mei is also very talkative and has a harmonious atmosphere.

After seeing off Ding Yu, Pan Mei immediately said to Zhang Zhaoyun beside her, "Zhongfu, go and count the gifts that Ding Yu sent, and give me the list."

Zhang Zhaoyun is a very stable young man, a talent Pan Mei discovered in the army during this expedition.

Diligent and steady but not quick-witted, Pan Mei even thought of taking him in as a son-in-law.

Zhang Zhaoyun quickly handed over the list to Pan Mei.

Pan Mei just took a look, and a thought flashed in her mind: "Liu Wei is in the hands of Buling Ding."

This is not Pan Mei's wishful thinking, but Ding Buling, who is Pan Mei's main focus.

The rise of the Twelve Envoys of Cochin all had family heritage, and although Ding Buling also had a father who was a governor, Ding Yu had already taken away his political roots.

Ding Buling relied on his own strength to get back everything that belonged to him, and he also played the name of Wansheng King.

The two envoys Wu Changwen and Wu Changji joined forces to attack Hualu Cave, but they returned in defeat. The popularity was no less than that of the twelve envoys.

The biggest problem for Ding Buling is poverty, no money and no food.

Ding Buling himself is an ambitious person and never pays attention to his own life.He eats and sleeps with the people under his command, without luxury.

How could such a person come up with so many luxury gifts for himself?

Unless you get rich overnight...

Pan Mei didn't dare to be negligent, and while sending people to Jiaozhi to inquire about the situation, she reported the information to the Central Plains court.

Sure enough, the situation of Jiaozhi changed, and the news that Chen Lan got the support of the Central Plains reached the ears of other envoys, and there was an uproar in Jiaozhi.

The other eleven envoys, as well as separatist forces such as Ding Buling, all exploded.

Some of them have the ambition of unifying Cochin, and some have the idea of ​​maintaining the status quo, and no one is willing to accept the control of Chen Lan.

Especially Wu Riqing and Wu Changchi, who are descendants of the Wu Dynasty, have always regarded themselves as orthodox. Chen Lan and Jiao Gonghan are disobedient domestic slaves of the Wu Dynasty.

This slave wanted to stand up and call the shots, how could Wu Riqing and Wu Changchi agree?

At the same time, Sanruan also gathered together.

The three Ruan are Ruan Kuan, Ruan Shoujie, and Ruan Chao. They come from the same family, and they usually look after each other. There are even quite a few conflicts, but as long as there is a threat to their existence, they will be twisted together.

And Du Jingshuo who has been fighting against Chen Lan...

Just a verbal support from Zhongyuan caused the whole Jiaozhi to be in chaos.

This is the influence of a powerful dynasty. Just a verbal support can control the situation and influence everything.

In an instant, Chen Lan became the target of public criticism, and uneasy restlessness spread in Jiaozhi.

The distance between Lingnan and Bianjing is thousands of miles away, and the news was conveyed very slowly.

This is also the main reason why Luo Youdu gave Pan Mei the decision-making power. If he really had to wait for the order to do it, and back and forth, the shit couldn't keep up with the heat.

Luo Youdu believed in Pan Mei's judgment, and without much hesitation, sent envoys to Jiaozhi, canonized Chen Lan as Jinghai Jiedu Envoy, in charge of the twelve prefectures of Jiaozhi.

As for Annan's guard and so on, Chen Lan had to show his achievements and reward them separately.

This morning meeting.

Luo Youdu sat high on the dragon chair, glanced down the hall, ready to fight.

After accepting the visit of civil and military officials, he entered the topic. He picked up the memorial from the royal case and said: "Today's court will discuss whether to build a navy in the South China Sea. Dear friends, you can express your opinions."

The construction of a navy in the South China Sea was Pan Mei's suggestion on the table. After the review and deliberation of the prime ministers in the chamber, she gave a negative opinion.

When Luo Youdu reviewed the memorial, he rejected the proposal.

Then the prime ministers discussed again, and Luo Youdu refuted again.

After repeating it three times, the matter was taken to the court meeting as a matter of course.

Luo Youdu has always adhered to a standard, giving the prime minister a certain power to limit the monarchy.

Although it is very cool to say a word, for the sake of long-term consideration, the emperor's power must be restrained.

Otherwise, if you meet a descendant like Yang Guang, no amount of family wealth will be enough to squander.

Luo Youdu can't guarantee that his descendants will have extraordinary insights like himself.

Therefore, even he must abide by this bottom line.

Unless at a critical moment, never use the dictatorship of your own emperor, but convince people with virtue.
