Chongzhen revived the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 25 Chengde Naturalization
After hearing Zhu Youjian's instructions, Wu Ruyin understood the emperor's intention of letting him be the deputy envoy. It turns out that I have to show my own experience and teach those people how to enjoy it.

He is very good at this, after all, he has been doing it. So he immediately assured the emperor:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely let those barbarians know what it means to be a noble family and a noble family."

Zhu Youjian nodded, still believing in this. If Wu Ruyin couldn't even do this well, there would be no need for him to be a submissive marquis. It has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty does not dare to say anything about it, but it still has its own way of enjoying it.

However, he still warned carefully:
"Don't call them Tuman anymore, call them Tumen. If you don't know, just call them Mongols."

"You can bring more servants and let them open their eyes to see how the noble Ming Dynasty spends their day."

"If possible, you can also invite some leaders to come to the capital as guests. I can guarantee their safety and will be rewarded."

"If they are willing to accept the canonization, your presence will be indispensable in future contacts between the capital and the grassland."

When Wu Ruyin heard this, she suddenly smiled. If he was responsible for all the contacts between the grassland and the capital, the status of the Gongshun Hou Mansion in the capital would definitely rise. Coupled with the benefits that trade between the grasslands and the Central Plains can bring, Wu Ruyin has seen a bright future and is beckoning to herself.

The premise of all this is to let the grassland accept the canonization and defend the Ming Dynasty from the later Jin Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Wu Ruyin made up his mind to bring more good things to shock the bumpkins on the grassland. Let them know how living in the wind and sun on the grassland is not as good as becoming a powerful person in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhu Youjian looked at the map, pointed at the location of Chengde in later generations, and continued:
"This is the intersection of the Luan River and the Wulie River. It is relatively close to the Chahan Tribe and the Harashen Tribe."

"You can choose a place with hot springs to build the city, and build the residences of King Shunli and others, as well as the monastery of Salpa Hutuktu, in this place, so that they don't have to be far away from the tribe and can enjoy it nearby."

"If the conditions are right, I also plan to build a summer resort to serve as a palace to escape the summer heat. I will also divide their pastures and coordinate various disputes."

"I gave it a name, Chengde. It will be built like a naturalized city."

Wu Ruyin was very excited when he decided to build a city with a wave of his hand. But Kong Zhenyun couldn't listen anymore and advised:
"Your Majesty, the people on the grassland are unruly and there is a threat from Hou Jin. It is really not the time to build a city."

"Whether Lin Danhan and others are willing to accept the canonization is also unknown."

"What's more, the ministers in the court may not be willing to confer so many titles, let alone build mansions for them."

After going through all kinds of difficulties, let the emperor not have any delusions.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said:

"I know there are many difficulties, but if you don't put it nicely, how can you attract Lin Danhan and others?"

"As for the canonization of the grassland nobles, you don't need to go through the Ministry of Rites, just issue the decree directly."

"I have prepared an imperial edict for you with a vacant name. If there are any lords on the grassland who are willing to accept the canonization, they can issue it on the spot."

Kong Zhenyun was stunned when he heard this. He really couldn't imagine that it could be done in this way, and murmured:

"Such...such...an imperial edict."

"The Ministry of Rites will not recognize it!"

Zhu Youjian laughed and said:

"Whether the Ministry of Rites recognizes it or not will be discussed later. As long as the nobles on the grassland accept the canonization, it will be fine if they recognize it."

"If the court is not willing to do the construction in Chengde, I will find a way myself."

"The Central Plains and the grasslands have been at war for thousands of years. I must find a way to completely resolve this matter." "The King of Shunyi and Guihua City have set an example and we must continue to move forward along this correct path. "

These words moved Kong Zhenyun. The endless battles between the Central Plains and the grasslands have always been a major problem that troubled the Central Plains dynasty.

Anda Khan was granted the title of Queen of Shunyi, and the borders of the Ming Dynasty were peaceful for nearly sixty years. This is an achievement that can be cited in history.

If Lin Danhan and others are willing to accept the canonization and maintain peace in the Central Plains and grasslands as a whole, it will be a feat that can be counted in thousands of years of history.

Compared with this, the titles of King Shunli and others are nothing. What's more, if cities and mansions are built specifically for them on the grassland, it will not affect the Central Plains at all.

If he can preside over this matter, he will also be able to leave his name in history!

"nice! It is truly a time when the Holy Lord Mingjun is on the throne and making great achievements! 』

Thinking of the various events in history, Kong Zhenyun immediately changed his mind. Not only did he no longer resist Zhu Youjian's idea, but he also checked for gaps and improved his idea:

"Your Majesty, I thought that when I was canonizing King Shunli, I could explain to Lin Dan Khan that 'propriety, justice, integrity and shame, propriety comes before righteousness', and at the same time explain to King Shunyi that 'benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, righteousness comes before propriety', and provoked a dispute between the two, making them unable to joint."

"At the same time, on King Shunyi's side, Sanniangzi's descendants have always had thoughts about King Shunyi. It was because of the dispute between the two parties that the court also named Sanniangzi as Mrs. Zhongshun in addition to King Shunyi."

"Now that your majesty wants to grant a great title, you can consecrate Sanniangzi's grandson Su Nangtai Ji as a duke and let him lead his subordinates and continue to fight against King Shunyi."

"Other Taiji and Taiji enthroned Hou Bo, and built princes and princes' mansions in Guihua City, so that the nobles on the grassland could get used to living in the city."

Applauding this, Zhu Youjian praised Kong Zhenyun’s transformation and encouraged:
"Well said! You can do this in the future!"

"I'm not stingy about the title, as long as it can be useful."

"The third lady has contributed to the Ming Dynasty, so her descendants can naturally be granted the title of duke."

"Lin Danhan can also take a look when he is on a mission. If he chooses a big lord who believes in the Yellow Sect, he can also be granted the title of official."

"I can also promise to build a Yellow Sect temple in Chengde and invite eminent monks to teach the Dharma from the Dalai Lama."

The title of Dalai Lama was given to the third Dalai Lama by Amada Khan. The Ming Dynasty recognized this title and also conferred the title of National Master. There is some connection between them.

It's just that the fifth Dalai Lama is young now, so Zhu Youjian can only ask him to send out learned great lamas to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the Yellow Sect followers after Lin Dan Khan converted to the Red Sect.

Thinking about religious matters and Kong Zhenyun's background, Zhu Youjian said:
"You are from Nan Kong. I can promise to build two Confucian temples in Guihua City and Chengde City, select talents from your tribe, and spread knowledge on the grasslands."

"If things go well, I can also canonize your descendants and make them hereditary officials of Nanjing Confucius Temple."

Kong Zhenyun's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid. Although Zhu Youjian's promise was not a knighthood, it was more precious to him than an ordinary knighthood.

The reputation of Nankong has always been inferior to that of Beikong. The key is the lack of the title of Duke Yansheng. Although the sacrificial officer promised by Zhu Youjian was not Yan Shenggong, he still had the right to worship Confucius.

Moreover, the official position is hereditary, not far different from that of Yan Shenggong. Maybe with hard work, he can achieve the title of nobility.

This made Kong Zhenyun very excited and determined to serve His Majesty the Emperor.

　"History of the Ming Dynasty": In the fourteenth year, Qiqingha died, and Ziluo defeated the enemy. As the third wife was old, she trained tens of thousands of soldiers and built a city to live in. (Zheng Luo) Luo was afraid that there would be no owner in Gong City, so he sent a further edict to Li Ke, saying: "My wife has submitted to me for the third time. If you can match her, you will be the king. Otherwise, I will be granted a different title."

　　He defeated all the concubines and restored his wife and three wives. So he was granted the title of successor next year, and the third lady was granted the title of Mrs. Zhongshun.
