Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 287 A tael of gold, the entire Western Regions
A team of guards came in, breaking the tranquility of Yunde Building, and Mr. Storyteller also hurriedly shut up.

The captain of the guard came to Zhu Zhanchang and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty has spoken, please enter the palace quickly."

"It's good to come, it's like catching a prisoner with such a big battle." Zhu Zhanzhen was slightly dissatisfied.

The captain of the guard said a little embarrassedly: "Don't blame His Royal Highness, the matter is urgent. Your Majesty and the cabinet please enter the palace quickly."

Zhu Zhanzhen frowned. The matter didn't seem to be simple. He knew that the cabinet should have discussed how to persuade the King of Han to surrender.

"Get up, Yu Qian enters the palace with me." Zhu Zhanchang asked Yu Qian to go with him, and Yu Qian was a little surprised.

"His Royal Highness, Wei Chen is not allowed to enter the palace unless he has been ordered to do so."

"You just agreed to this matter. You are my deputy. It is reasonable and reasonable for me to bring you into the palace. I dare not do it."

"Wei Chen takes orders." Yu Qian immediately changed his tone.

After a few people left, everyone in Yunde Building knew that what they had just heard about was the legendary Ming Haiwang Zhu Zhanchang who had done countless great things.

Zhu Zhanchang got on the carriage that entered the palace, and he asked Chen Xinyue to follow him to go to the queen's concubine, and he would go over to greet him later.

On the way, Chen Xinyue said: "His Royal Highness, this is located in Qian and has a good reputation. Does Your Highness want to help him?"

Just now, Zhu Zhanchang sees Qian's win over Chen Xinyue. She is a smart woman and sees Zhu Zhanchang's intention.

"Is it obvious?"

"a little bit."

Chen Xinyue smiled lightly and then said: "Your Highness, Yu Langzhong has always been known for his integrity, and he is also upright and upright, and his wife is also a virtuous housekeeper. It is a good material, but it is not bad to be able to enter the palace, the concubine is thinking about some day to send it to the wife of the Yu family, so that I can sew some new clothes."

Obviously, Chen Xinyue came to this idea after observing that Yu Qian's clothes were very ordinary.

Zhu Zhanchang nodded with satisfaction: "Go, just send satin, don't pick too expensive, don't send money, so as not to recruit people, you should be kind and friendly."

"My concubine understands."

Zhu Zhanchang smiled helplessly: "With the salary of the imperial court, Yu Qian has a family with some servants, and if he has no other property, it will be a tight day. Yu Qian takes money lightly and spends lightly. It is estimated that he The daughter-in-law is just worried that he spends money indiscriminately, and the family does not have enough money, so she has to keep some money to maintain her dignity."

"Mrs. Yu's reputation is also excellent." Chen Xinyue nodded and smiled.

Ordinary officials can achieve Yu Qian's level, and they can have some of their own property without corruption. The people of the clan use his name to make some conveniences, and they will stuff some things over during the New Year and festivals, but Yu Qian's people disdain these things.

Zhu Zhanchang could only help in secret.

When they arrived at the palace, Chen Xinyue went to the harem to find the queen, and Zhu Zhanchang took Yu Qian to the imperial study.

In front of the imperial study, the imperial guard forbade Yu Qian from entering, but Zhu Zhanchang insisted on taking Yu Qian, and with the permission of Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanchang took Yu Qian in.

Yu Qian, who is still a young man now, can't help feeling a little stage fright when he sees the big bosses in the cabinet, but who is he? He is Yu Qian. In front of him, he can still be neither humble nor overbearing.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanzhen brought Yu Qian in, a few people were a little surprised. At this level of meeting, it is impossible for Yu Qian's official position and resume to participate in it, even Chen Yun, who was a hot and hot agent of the Ministry of Rites in the court before. He will be invited in, and will only be invited in when he has his own work to report.

Several people invariably thought, it seems that Zhu Zhanchang values ​​Yu Qian very much.

When Zhu Zhanfang came in, he saw Zhu Gaochi's sallow complexion, which was much worse than yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Zhu Gaochi's health is not good at all, and according to the historical time limit, the time has already exceeded a little.

"Father, you..."

"Master Hai, Your Majesty ate some greasy food in the morning and vomited three times." The eunuch beside Zhu Gaochi hurriedly explained.

Zhu Zhanchang squinted his eyes speechlessly, thinking that Zhu Gaochi was sick again, but he just vomited.

Ever since Zhu Gaochi came to the throne, the queen has strictly controlled his diet. The imperial physicians said that Zhu Gaochi is a disease of wealth. Although he has old wounds on his legs and his body is also puffy, as long as he strictly controls his diet, it should be light, less oily, less sugary and less meaty. Much better.

But Zhu Gaochi finally became the emperor, can't people be happy?How dare the eunuchs and palace maids really control it, and no one is willing to do things that are bad luck.

And Zhu Gaochi has no self-control when it comes to eating.

Zhu Gaochi glared at the talkative eunuch, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Zhansang, yesterday, several members of the cabinet discussed the matter of persuading Gao Xu to surrender. The matter is confidential, let Yu Qian go out first."

"Father, Yu Qian is my deputy to persuade him to surrender this time. He has the right to know what to do."

Everyone was shocked, Yu Qian dared to follow Zhu Zhanchang to persuade him to surrender.

Zhu Zhanchang's ability to go is because of his identity. As a prince of Daming, and he has a good relationship with Zhu Gaojiu, Zhu Gaojiu won't do anything about it. At least he has to weigh it and live in the fleet of the Guangdong vassal.

But Yu Qian is different. If the two armies are fighting, it is not necessary to kill the envoy, but it is not necessarily necessary to kill a follower to make an example. His risk factor is much higher than Zhu Zhanqian.

It is impossible for Yu Qian not to understand this truth, he can only say that he has the courage and courage.

Since Yu Qian wanted to follow Zhu Zhanchang to persuade the King of Han to surrender, he naturally had a reason to stay.

"Father, let's say it directly, what conditions will you use to persuade your second uncle to surrender after the discussion in the cabinet?" Zhu Zhanchang asked bluntly.

"One or two pieces of gold, the entire Western Regions." Yang Shiqi said the result of their final discussion.

When Zhu Zhanchang heard the result, he frowned: "Father, I'm afraid this is not possible. Although the Western Regions are large and boundless, compared with the richness of Jiangnan, it is obvious that the second uncle will not choose the Western Regions."

Zhu Gaochi motioned to Yang Shiqi to speak first, and Yang Shiqi took over.

"Lord Hai, please be safe and don't be impatient. The entire Western Regions negotiated by Weichen and others does not refer to letting the King of Han take control of the Western Regions, but to imitate the enfeoffment of the Khanate in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and entrust the Western Regions to the King of Han to become a nominally independent state. A country within a country..."

"No!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Zhanchen interrupted him with a cold and stern voice.

At this time, Zhu Zhanchang's face was completely gloomy, and he looked around the cabinet. All of these people were big figures who were famous in history. How could they come up with such a bad idea.

"Master Hai, please also listen to Wei Chen."

"Needless to say, the division of the country is against the teachings of the ancestors, and it is shameful to see the ancestors. If you use this method, let's change people. I, Zhu Zhanchang, can't bear the responsibility." Zhu Zhanchang sternly refused.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanchang's attitude was so tough that he didn't even listen, several ministers were obviously at a loss.

At this time, only Zhu Gaochi came out to speak: "Zhanshang, you misunderstood, we mean that the Western Regions were originally captured by your second uncle, and we are essentially different from Beiyuan's enfeoffed Khanate."

Zhu Gaochi's words, Zhu Zhanchang naturally had to listen.

"Father, the four great Khanates of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Qincha Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, the Wokuotai Khanate, and the Ili Khanate, belong to the Northern Yuan in name, but in fact the Northern Yuan has no jurisdiction over them. It can be said that it is actually an independent country, if Grandpa Huang knows what we are doing, what will he think."

To be honest, Zhu Zhanchang felt uncomfortable when he heard this proposal. The Great Unification Dynasty had to look like a Great Unification Dynasty.

In history, when Zhu Gaochi was in power and in the future when Zhu Zhanji was in power, Daming lost the actual control of many places, largely because he felt that these places were not of high value. What is the difference between this ghost idea and letting go of the country.

Moreover, the land of the Western Regions is connected to Central Asia, and it is also an important trade route. Although the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is not a useless place.

"Hey, when your grandfather was there, he said that the land that your children and grandchildren conquered are counted as their children's and grandchildren's. Although you have not conquered the countries of the South Seas, you have established a tributary system. Over the years, most of the income from the tributary has been included. The library of the Guangzhou government, your grandfather, did the imperial court ever say that your second uncle is in such a commotion right now, just let him take care of it according to your grandfather's words." Zhu Gaochi said helplessly.

But Zhu Zhanchang noticed the taste from it.

It turned out that the cabinet negotiated not only Zhu Gaojiu's proposal to persuade capitulation, but also his own distribution plan, which might be similar to that of Prince Han in the future.

The children and grandchildren were divided according to the method of the Mongolian and Yuan Khanate.

This is the surefire way they have come up with. Under the circumstance that the descendants are very capable, in order to avoid disputes, this may be the best way.

Obviously it involved himself. Zhu Zhanchang looked around again and asked in a deep voice, "Elder Yang, just now you said that your Northern Yuan method is different, how is it different?"

Yang Shiqi's eyes looking at Zhu Zhanqian seemed to have the sharp eyes of Zhu Di back then.

"The four major Khanates of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have almost completely cut off contact with the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but they have also made indelible contributions to its vast territory. It is just that the power of the Four Great Khanates is too great, and Taizu still had a lot of power to divide the vassal kings back then. The meaning of imitation, now His Majesty is discussing with the ministers and others and thinks that we can continue to strengthen the law of the vassal king and further build the kingdom of the vassal king."

"The King's Kingdom?"

"Yes, Your Highness, strengthen the power of the vassal king, build the vassal king's kingdom system, build the local administrative system with the vassal king and the three divisions in the territory, take the vassal king as the core, and set up the left, middle and right three guards system of the vassal king directly under the jurisdiction of the vassal king , the three guardians can reach 5000 people, and the local taxation is collected by the vassal king, who pays tribute to the central government according to the agreed ratio."

Yang Shiqi then talked about a lot of details, generally speaking, it was to strengthen the power system of Zhu Yuanzhang's enfeoffment of vassal kings, and named him king.

Similar to the king of Korea and the king of Dongying, but also limited his power, the most important thing is military power, which is also the most feared point of the court, and the position of this king cannot be hereditary and irreplaceable. The descendants are automatically reduced to normal vassal kings.

And there is a very crucial point. After the king system is formed, the power of the vassal will be reduced, regardless of the salary system.

It means that the king is the emperor and promises you a lifetime of glory, which is yours.

Are you saying there are hidden dangers?The danger is great.

According to Yang Shiqi's words, those who can be named kings are all powerful people. The current King of Han may become a sea king in the future. For such a person, you let him build a kingdom by himself. Although you think well, plan Although it is good, I may not necessarily implement it according to your plan.

It can be seen that this should be an expedient solution that they have racked their brains to come up with. Indeed, it is basically a fantasy to resolve this situation peacefully.

When Zhu Yuanzhang became the vassal king, Zhu Yunqi had to cut the vassal when he came to power, because he couldn't control it. Now that Zhu Gaochi has made such a king's law, will Zhu Zhanji have to be cut when he comes to power in the future? There is no permanent solution.

For this plan, they themselves do not have any illusions of success, they can only say that they have made enough compromises and concessions, and showed enough sincerity.

After listening, Zhu Zhanchang looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Father, is this the final decision of the imperial court?"

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Oh, yes."

"Since I have already responded and persuaded the second uncle to surrender, I will definitely go no matter what. I think there are many inappropriate things about this decision, but if I think about it from another angle, I can't think of any better solution. I will discuss this plan with the second uncle, but please ask the royal father to prepare troops to respond to the Tianfu."

What Zhu Zhanchang meant was that he felt that the battle was probably over.

"We are ready to bring troops from all over the world close."

Xia Yuanji came out and said: "Your Majesty, this time, the prince was ordered to persuade the king of Han to surrender. He has the style of everyone, the style of famous officials in ancient times, and the merit of incorporating Dongying into my tributary country. I also ask your majesty to reward him."

This is to invite Zhu Zhanchang for a reward.

Yang Shiqi also immediately said: "Your Majesty, the lord has outstanding talents, splendid weapons, and ability to conquer and fight well as well as internal affairs. This minister affirms that His Majesty is like the King of Han, and the King of the Sea is named the king."

Zhu Zhanchang guessed that this king system must include himself, but he didn't expect that they would mention it today, and it would be difficult for these old men. When thinking about this method, there must be endless quarrels, and it is not easy to unify opinions.

Looking at a few people with dark circles under their eyes, they haven't slept all night.

The emperor and Zhu Zhanchang looked at each other, Zhu Gaochi didn't know how to speak, and wanted to see Zhu Zhanchang's attitude first.

Zhu Zhanchang felt that everyone in the court was already wary of him. After all, he was getting older, and his identity was the son of the emperor. With such outstanding ability and so much actual power, how could people not be afraid.

Among these people in the cabinet, Yang Shiqi is a master to Zhu Zhanji, and Yang Rong worships the prince's young master after Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne. These people are all for Zhu Zhanji's sake. Is Zhu Zhanji's biggest opponent the King of Han?

No, it's Zhu Zhanchang!

Therefore, when he was dealing with the affairs of the King of Han, he had already regarded Zhu Zhanchang as the future King of Han.

If this method can solve the chaos of the Han King, we can also solve the future Sea King in this way.

Many of Zhu Gaochi's words were done by the cabinet. He was embarrassed to say that it was obvious that Zhu Di had not learned the art of making cakes for his son, but if he learned a little bit, now it was the part of the father and son to paint cakes. .

With a cold smile: "How dare I receive the reward before I set off. If my son can make a contribution and return, please ask the father and emperor to reward him."

Zhu Zhanchang turned around and left, and said loudly as he walked, "I hope father, take more rest, listen to mother's words, don't eat meaty and greasy food."
