At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 148 Champa Royal Family
In the early morning of the next day, the officials quarreled again.

This time the content of the dispute is not about opening the sea, but about Zhang Fu's feudal affairs.

The emperor sent someone to draft the imperial decree. After the cabinet deliberated, they did not rush to make a decision. Instead, they got it to the court and handed it over to the civil and military officials to decide.

Because this time, it is not an ordinary feudal vassal. If the imperial decree is issued, it is equivalent to declaring war with An Nanguo!
The reason for the opponents is very simple. Daming and Annan have lived in peace for many years, and now Annan is not at fault. It is obviously unreasonable for Daming to start a war with it rashly.

Wang Wen, the censor of the right capital, said: "In the second year of Zhengtong, the imperial court ordered Li Li to be the king of Annan. Disputes. If the King of Jing'an issued the order of the vassal, wouldn't that mean telling the people of the world that our Ming Dynasty is a warlike country, and in order to satisfy our warlike heart, we will put thousands of people in the two countries in the fire and water?"

Zhang Fu is a martial artist, he is no match for his eloquence, he blushes with anxiety, but he doesn't know how to refute.

It was Tang Xinggu who stood up and said slowly: "At the beginning, Emperor Taizong changed Annan to Jiaozhi. Jing'an Prefecture was originally our territory of Ming Dynasty. The king of Jing'an County was a vassal, and he was also a vassal of Daming. What's wrong?"

"Tang Xinggu, why is it you again?"

Wang Wen was very annoyed, no matter what, I am your boss now, are you determined to fight against me?

Tang Xinggu said indifferently: "The next official discusses the matter, and has no intention of targeting Mr. Wang!"

"Are you talking about the facts?"

Wang Wen sneered and said: "The late emperor once said that for several years, one side has been restless, and he has repeatedly worked as a king's teacher, so he withdrew his troops from Annan. Let me ask you, do you still have the late emperor in your eyes?"

Tang Xinggu was not in a hurry, and said: "The will of the first emperor is the will, and the will of Emperor Taizong is not the will?"

Wang Wen also said: "Emperor Taizong's will has been 30 years ago, and the first emperor's will was ten years ago. Today is different from the past. How can the two be the same?"

"Since Mr. Wang also knows the truth that today is different from the past, why does he always insist on the ancestral system on the issue of the sea ban?"

"you……"

Wang Wen's face was extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a fly.

Seeing that Wang Wen was deflated, Xu Bin, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, stood up and said: "Today we are discussing the matter of Jing'an County Prince Jiufan. Tang Yushi must not confuse the public!"

Tang Xinggu smiled lightly and said: "Whether it is discussing the ban on the sea or the prince of Jing'an County, I just hope that when you express your opinions, you will come up with the same set of standards. Don't talk about opening the sea. It is the ancestral system." It must not be violated. When it comes to Annan, today is different from the past. We are here to discuss major national affairs, and we should do it for the country and the people, and it must not be determined solely by personal preferences."

Wang Wen asked back: "Tang Xinggu, do you mean that the old man has selfish intentions?"

"Whether Mr. Wang has selfish intentions or not, I dare not say for sure. However, since the lower officials confronted Mr. Wang face to face, everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate has respected me, Mr. Tang. Could it be that Mr. Wang is causing trouble?"

"You don't want to spout blood!" Wang Wen pointed at Tang Xinggu's nose and cursed angrily, "The colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate don't want to talk to you because they look down on your flattering face. What does this have to do with this old man?"

Seeing that there was a tendency to fight again in the court, Cao Nai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had no choice but to stand up.

"For today's matter, just say that the king of Jing'an County is a feudal vassal. Reasonable reasoning, don't engage in unnecessary arguments!"

Gao Zhu, who is also a cabinet scholar, continued: "His Royal Highness Jing'an County King, the old man would like to ask, this time you are going to Jing'an Prefecture, but you are going alone?"

Zhang Fu said in an extremely unfriendly tone: "This old man is planning to temporarily borrow Nanjing's soldiers and horses. When he arrives in the fief, he will return the army immediately. Moreover, the old man will be responsible for all the expenses on the way!"

Gao Hub shook his head lightly and said, "If it's just about the feudal clan, it's fine, but if you use the imperial court's troops, it's not just about the feudal clan!"

Wang Wen and others' eyes lit up, and they all said: "Gong Gong's words are not without reason, and the court soldiers and horses must not act rashly!"

Seeing that Zhang Fu was at a disadvantage, Tang Xinggu immediately stood up and said, "Why not send troops to escort the king of the county? Let's just say that when His Royal Highness King Xiang was in the feudal domain, the imperial court also sent troops to escort him." Horse escort, in order to get to Jing'an County King, is it not allowed to move rashly?"

At this moment, Zhang Fu really can't wait to hug Tang Xinggu and kiss each other, it's so amazing!
Sure enough, professional people do professional things. When it comes to quarreling, it depends on other scholars!
It's better to take this person to Annan and be his own guest...

Just as he was thinking wildly, Jin Ying came over and whispered something in Zhu Qiyu's ear.

Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly, then nodded.

The officials didn't know what happened, so they stopped arguing and looked at Zhu Qiyu eagerly.

"Just now, Honghe Temple reported that a prince from Champa came to Daming from overseas, and he is waiting outside the temple at this time."

Cao Nai said: "Since they are foreign envoys, they should be settled by Honglu Temple. Today we are discussing the matter of Jing'an County Prince Jiufan, with outsiders present... I am afraid it is inappropriate?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "This king also thinks so, but according to Jin Ying, this person has an urgent military situation and needs to play, let them come directly to the hall."

Hearing the military situation, Cao Nai and others nodded and said, "It should be so."

Not long after, Yang Shan, Minister of Honglu Temple, came up to the hall with two men in strange clothes.

The appearance of these two people is almost the same as that of the Central Plains people, but their skin color is darker.

One of them was in his thirties, and the clothes on his body were decorated with some gold and silver decorations. He should be the Prince Champa just mentioned.

The other person was about seventeen or eighteen years old. From the perspective of clothing, he should be a follower, but his skin was relatively fair, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat delicate.

Yang Shan looked around and saw that the dragon chair was empty, so he bowed to Zhu Qiyu.

"Chen Yang Shan has seen His Highness!"

The two men looked at each other and knelt down.

The young man said in broken Chinese: "Xia Xuanzhen, this is His Royal Highness Mahagui from the royal family of Champa. I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, then he realized, and said: "The emperor is busy with affairs, and this king will take over the government for the time being. If you two have anything to do, you can talk to this king!"

Xuanzhen was a little surprised when she heard that the person in front of her was not the emperor, so she whispered something in Mahagui's ear.

It's no wonder that Zhu Qiyu wears a boa robe every time he goes to court. How can foreigners tell the difference between a boa robe and a gown?
Mohagui murmured a few words, Xuanzhen nodded.

"Your Highness is the King of Tan?"

Zhu Qiyu asked back: "Do you know this king?"

Xuan Zhen explained: "When I landed from Quanzhou, I heard some things about His Highness along the way. However, the matter is of great importance. His Highness Mahagui hopes to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
