Chapter 527

Previously, Wang Yangming spoke for them and agreed with the Son of Heaven to enshrine these vassal kings to Nanyang, although all the vassal kings knew that Wang Yangming must have his own ideas.

After all, if these vassal kings are in the Central Plains, it will be a huge burden for the court. As the chief minister of the cabinet, if there is an opportunity to remove the burden of the court, I believe Wang Yangming will never let it go Such a great opportunity.

Therefore, all the vassal kings knew in their hearts that Wang Yangming must be on their side on this point, and this was also one of their confidences.

After all, the emperor's favor and trust in Li Huan is well known, and the emperor's incomparable hesitation when Li Huan spoke to dissuade the emperor can tell how much influence Li Huan has on the emperor.

If there is no one to speak for them in this court, I am afraid that if they want to leave the Central Plains and move their fiefs to the land of Nanyang, the possibility of becoming a prince and king will really be cut off.

However, the only one in the imperial court who could compete with Li Huan was Wang Yangming, the chief minister of the Ming cabinet.

It is true that the emperor favors Li Huan, but everyone can see how much he relies on Wang Yangming. Now Li Huan has made it clear that these feudal lords are not allowed to go to Nanyang. It was clear that he didn't want these vassals to go to Nanyang to rob him of Li Huan's interests.

It's fine if they didn't know in the past, but through various channels, they now know about the richness of Nanyang. It's normal for Li Huan to cover up such a rich place. They didn't know it before, and they don't have anything else. In my mind, I feel that being in the Central Plains is better than being sealed in a wild place like Nanyang.

But after knowing the richness of Nanyang, these vassal kings don't think so, especially Li Huan's strong opposition, which shows that in Li Huan's view, they would rather these vassal kings stay in the Central Plains The imperial court brought some pressure, and they couldn't let them go to a rich place like Nanyang.

Qin Wang and others were thinking about how to intervene in the affairs of the Nanyang province, but what they didn't expect was that some officials would propose to move them to Nanyang, and they would also be named a vassal king, so that they These vassal kings with no real power have since mastered military and political power

This is simply a pie that fell from the sky. Almost instantly, all the vassal kings had an idea in their hearts, that is, they must go to Nanyang no matter what, and they must not miss such a good opportunity.

Looking at Wang Yangming at this time, Qin Wang, Jin Wang, Chu Wang, Zhou Wang and other vassal kings all nodded and said: "Please Master Shoufu to teach us!"

Wang Yangming said slowly: "My lords, your majesty has always been honest and caring, and the royal family members are the most cared for. Originally, with your majesty's disposition, if Qin Guogong didn't try his best to persuade and stop him, how much did your majesty really have at the court meeting just now?" Fen may agree to Zuo Shilang's suggestion and move the fiefdoms of the princes to Nanyang Province."

King Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "It's all that damned Li Huan. What does it matter to him if I wait for the royal affairs?"

King Qin looked at Wang Yangming and said, "Shoufu must be able to help us, right?"

Wang Yangming sighed softly and said: "I don't need to say the status of Qin Guogong in His Majesty's heart. You princes should be very clear. If you really want to change your majesty's mind, then there is only one way!"

The eyes of several vassal kings lit up, and they looked at Wang Yangming eagerly one by one.

But Wang Yangming said word by word: "Please, as long as all princes can't afford to kneel before this Qianqing Palace, Your Majesty can make His Majesty change his mind!"

At first, they thought that Wang Yangming could give them some advice, but they didn't expect that Wang Yangming would give them such an idea, just let them kneel here and pray to the emperor.

But will this really make the emperor change his mind and agree to seal them to Nanyang?
All of a sudden, the faces of many vassal princes and relatives showed hesitation.

And at this moment, the old man Yang Tinghe who was standing aside chuckled and said, "You might as well give it a try. Since the first assistant said so, then I will definitely not let you go back without success!"

Hearing what Yang Tinghe said, all the vassal princes and clansmen looked at each other, then nodded in unison, first bowed to Wang Yangming, and then said: "Okay, as the chief minister said, we can't afford to kneel here , and others, I hope you elders can make a difference, as long as your majesty can agree to move our fief to Nanyang, then we will definitely not forget you elders."

Hearing the words, Wang Yangming said unabashedly: "If the princes' fiefdoms are moved to Nanyang, it will be a good thing for the court. It can only be said that the cabinet also has the cabinet's considerations on this matter, and it is not completely for the princes. , and I never thought of asking the lords to repay me."

Wang Yangming put this matter so openly, and the family members of the vassal kings felt more at ease. At least the cabinet was not planning on them, was it?
At this time, only a very small part of the officials were dispersed. After all, what happened today was an eye-opener for them. All the vassal kings and relatives of the Ming Dynasty were entrusted to the land of Nanyang as the princes and kings with real power.

Such a matter is definitely a major event that has caused a sensation in the world, and regarding this matter, there was a conflict between a cabinet minister and Qin Guogong Li Huan at the Great Court Meeting.

In everyone's impression, although Li Huan and Wang Yangming are not allies, they can be considered to cooperate seamlessly. For many of Li Huan's suggestions, Wang Yangming, the chief minister of the cabinet, has always supported Li Huan.

But this time, Li Huan and Wang Yangming clashed because of the fact that the vassal king was granted the title of Nanyang.
If this is true, then if Li Huan fights with Wang Yangming in the future, there will really be excitement in the court.

After all, it is true that Li Huan is deeply trusted by the emperor, but Wang Yangming is not bad, especially in the past few years, because of the implementation of the New Deal, Wang Yangming has presided over the Enke several times. A group of supporters.

On the court, Wang Yangming's influence is already quite huge. I dare not say that there are many people responding to Denggao. At least most of the officials in the world are on Wang Yangming's side.

Under such circumstances, if Li Huan and Wang Yangming fight, it must be very lively.

Of course, in addition to this, the reaction of the vassal kings is also in the eyes of the officials.

A group of vassal kings will never let go of such a good opportunity. It is the temptation of the princes and kings who hold great power. Let alone these vassal kings, if they are in the positions of the vassal kings’ relatives, I’m afraid Like all the vassals, they will not be able to stand the temptation.

Originally, many people were curious about what the vassal kings stopped the cabinet elders from talking about, but suddenly they saw all the vassal kings knelt down in the direction of Qianqing Palace, and the leading few vassal kings were even more so. Loudly said: "Your Majesty, please agree to the request of the ministers, otherwise the ministers will not be able to kneel!"

Seeing this situation, many officials immediately reacted. They looked at the family members of the vassal kings who were kneeling there, and then looked at Wang Yangming and the elders. They didn't understand that these elders must be for the vassals. Thought of idea.

With the dispersal of all the officials, only the family members of the vassal king kneeling there were left on the square, and after the officials went down to court, what happened at the court meeting spread throughout the capital in the shortest possible time.

Among the busiest teahouses and restaurants, the people of the capital who have always cared about the world's major affairs gathered together with the mood of watching the excitement, chatting with each other.

Naturally, there are supporters and opponents for the suggestion of relocating the vassal kings of the world to the land of Nanyang, giving them fiefdoms, and making them become princes and kings of one side.

The reasons for the group of people who support it are very good. The clans of the princes of the Ming dynasty have been suffering for a long time. If these clans of the clans of the clans who have harmed one side can be moved to the land of Nanyang, it will definitely be a big deal for the people of the Central Plains. good thing.

Of course, the reasons for the opposition are also very good. Everyone knows the potential threat to the court from the powerful princes and kings.

Some people say why not just move all the feudal lords in the world to Nanyang, and not give them real seals, so that they are like in the Central Plains, not giving military and political power, and sending court officials to supervise.

But if this is the case, these vassal kings are not fools, how could they agree to such a harsh request, I am afraid that they will have to make a fuss at that time.

In this way, one day, two days, three days, the time passed day by day, and the vassal princes and clans in front of the Qianqing Palace put on a posture that they would never leave if the emperor did not agree.

Of course, these vassal kings couldn't bear the pain of being unable to kneel for a long time. In fact, they didn't kneel there, but just put on an attitude to pray to the emperor.

The clans of the vassal kings here knelt on the futons after resting like a few days ago, and they made a gesture, when they saw a figure appearing in the distance.

When they saw that figure, all the vassal kings and relatives were shocked, and they all glared at the person who came.

The person who came was none other than Li Huan.

"Li Huan, you traitor, don't try to deceive His Majesty!"

"Li Huan, if you dare to obstruct my good deed, I will never let you go."

When Li Huan walked past the vassal kings, he glanced at the vassal kings with a bit of disdain and said with a bit of sarcasm: "It's up to you, with Li here, you don't even think about stepping into Nanyang province." Half a step!"

Seeing Li Huan enter the palace to meet the emperor, needless to say, Li Huan must have persuaded the emperor to go here, and the vassal kings couldn't help yelling at Li Huan.

Not long after, several important ministers headed by Wang Yangming also came over. Seeing this situation, several vassal kings rushed up to meet Wang Yangming and the others: "Old Man, Your Majesty..."

In a situation like this, within a few days, all the feudal lords met more than once. Almost every day the emperor would summon Li Huan and the cabinet ministers to discuss the distribution of feudal lords and relatives.

Therefore, the feudal lords are extremely concerned about the progress of the matter, and the emperor has not summoned them, so naturally he cannot know the situation first-hand, so he can only pin his hopes on Wang Yangming and others.

Wang Yangming coughed lightly, looked at the crowd and said: "My lords, don't worry, Wang and others will definitely try their best to persuade His Majesty."

The faces of the vassal kings could not help showing joy when they heard the words, but Wang Yangming sighed and said: "Your Majesty has great trust in Qin Guogong, so Wang and others can only try their best to persuade His Majesty. As for the result, it all depends. What does His Majesty mean?"

A look of disappointment appeared on the faces of all the vassal kings, but they soon regained their composure and said to Wang Yangming and the others: "I leave everything to you."

In the royal study

The Son of Heaven sat there in a leisurely manner, and below were Li Huan, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and other dignitaries, as well as Wang Yangming who had just arrived.

Entering the imperial study room, Li Huan said to Wang Yangming and the others with a smile on his face: "The princes must have dragged you to beg hard."

When Wang Yangming heard this, he looked at Li Huan with a light smile and said, "This time, Duke Qin has been wronged, and Duke Qin has been insulted!"

Li Huan waved his hand and said: "As long as the problem of the vassal king can be solved, mere infamy is nothing."

Speaking of which, Li Huan looked at the emperor sitting there and said: "Your Majesty, it has been delayed for a few days, and the time is almost up. It can be said that now is the time when all the feudal lords are most eager to move to Nanyang. After a long time, if the jars are broken one by one, it will be bad."

Wang Yangming also nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, our big drama is now ending just right, if it goes too far, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face: "In this case, let's end this drama. The cabinet drafted an order, saying that I care about the affection of the clan, and give the princes and clans of the world a chance to move the fief. Those who are willing to move their fiefdom to Nanyang will be sealed by the imperial court, allowing them to feudalize the country and build a country, but those who miss this opportunity will not be allowed to mention the matter of relocating the fiefdom in the future."

Wang Yangming stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is wise, with this decree, ninety-nine out of ten of the vassal kings will ask His Majesty to allow them to move to Nanyang and become a vassal king. I just don't know that these princes have arrived in Nanyang. What would be the reaction to really knowing the situation in their fief."

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "Even though the feudal lands assigned to them are wild islands, I didn't force them, did I? Besides, although those places are wild islands, the land can be called fertile. In terms of development, their life is definitely much more comfortable than in the Central Plains. Besides, as royal family members, it is their duty to open up a territory for my Ming Dynasty, and guard one side."

Li Huan nodded aside and said: "If the imperial court moves the people, divides the prefectures and counties, and adds a group of vassal kings to guard one side, it will not take decades to keep it. The rich Nanyang province will definitely be completely integrated into my Huaxia and become my Huaxia. It is an inseparable part. This merit is to say that the three emperors of virtue surpassed each other, and it is not an exaggeration to surpass the five emperors."

When Zhu Houzhao heard the words, a look of longing flashed in his eyes and said: "This is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. It is absolutely impossible for me alone, and I still need all of you to work together with me."

Li Huan, Wang Yangming, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and other important ministers who knew the imperial court's plans for Nanyang were all emotional at the moment, and they all bowed to the emperor and said: "I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty."
