Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 533: Xu Youzhen discusses Pingnan’s strategy of enclosing vassal towns and achieving multiple goals with one stone.

After dinner, Zhu Qiyu politely sent away several imperial concubines, and then hid in the hot spring and soaked comfortably.Seeing no one else around, Su Xi asked curiously: "Husband, what big disputes will there be between the Kong family and Lu Fan?"

Zhu Qiyu also made no secret of the people who were truly close to him: "In the past two years, plus the next few years, natural disasters have continued throughout the Ming Dynasty, especially in Shandong. Therefore, Shandong will also form a large-scale refugee population.

The Confucian government's drive to squeeze the people and be greedy might lead to a civil uprising.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people may not really dare to do anything to the Kong family.But if Lu Fan is operating behind the scenes, the rebellious people will be instigated by others, and the guards will deliberately slack off.

Hey, if the Confucius Mansion is hit by a disaster, there is nothing I can do.

The law does not punish the people, and the emperor is benevolent. I cannot massacre the people of the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the loyal ministers of the Yuan Emperor.

I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, not a lackey of the Yuan Dynasty.

If the people in Shandong are too conservative, there will be pirates, Japanese pirates and the like, and they can also flee to Qufu.

Moreover, he disguised himself as a disaster-stricken refugee and fled to Qufu secretly without disturbing the people.After all, compared with the wealth of the Confucius Mansion that rivals that of the country, there is no point in robbing the common people of their three melons and two jujubes.

Then we will come out to end the game and win the hearts and minds of the people of Lu. "

Su Xi reacted for a long time and then asked: "Where is the wealth of the Kong family? Should our family share it?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "It doesn't matter. According to the agreement, half of the land of Confucius will be allocated to the Lu Fan for their own management, and the rest will be divided between the Shandong government and the local people.

We must not involve any interests in it, so as not to fall into the facts.We are completely public-minded, and there is absolutely no selfish desire involved in this incident. "

"Really give Lu Fan half of the land?"

"There is no other way. I can't do it without giving it. As an emperor like me who goes deep into reform and conquers everywhere, credit is more precious than gold.

It doesn’t matter what we say. Who will play with us in the future?

Besides, the little bit of land in the Confucius Mansion is nothing. After conquering Annan and completely destroying Luchuan, I will still break up the soil and divide it into feudal states.

It’s not called enfeoffment of the territories. Anyway, I will enfeoff Wang Ji, Chen Mao, Liang Yue, Wang Tong and others in Luchuan and Annan. Let them follow the example of the Mu family, guard the border, be hereditary, and be the same as the country. stop.

In this way, firstly, Luchuan and Annan can be stabilized; secondly, Wang Ji, Chen Mao, and Liang Yue can be dealt with decently.

Otherwise, especially Wang Ji and Chen Mao, let them go back to the capital. They have such high prestige, they were once loyal to Emperor Gongrang, and they have a lot of disciples and old officials under them.Who knows what they are thinking, it will be troublesome if they follow Emperor Gongrang in rebellion in the future.

Let's kill them all. They have really made great contributions to the country, so my status as emperor is really too low.

Therefore, the best way is to let them become princes and marquises, and rule the southern border for the rest of their lives.It's decent for them, it's decent for me, and it saves the Emperor Gong from having any unnecessary thoughts. "

"What about Emperor Gongrang? How long do you plan to keep him alive?"

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he held the beauty in his arms and gave her a good kiss. It was only when they were alone that the little girl dared to ask such a straightforward question.

"Actually, I don't know when he will die, but he is still useful now. Only with this political enemy around can the group of cronies around me unite and create a prosperous era for China.

Once these political enemies are gone, it will be time for my cronies to divide and fight among themselves.As far as the virtues of civil servants are concerned, if there were no internal or external troubles, it would be impossible for them not to fight among themselves.

Besides, unless I kill Emperor Gongrang and the Crown Prince together, there is no point in just killing Emperor Gongrang.

But if the crown prince is killed together, the trouble will be big.After all, we are different from Taizong's Fengtian Jingnan. If we really kill without thinking, we are not seeking death.

Even if Taizong was so cruel, Zhu Wengui is still alive and well, and Taizong didn't kill Jianwen until he had no descendants. It was like Xuanmiao, which completely eliminated family ties.

Besides, if Emperor Gongrang and the Crown Prince die, those ministers who are loyal to them will only hide deeper. Where will I go to find them?

You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief in a thousand days.If the enemy is in darkness and we are in the open, and the ministers all smile and harbor hatred, we will get their way sooner or later, so we might as well let them dance hard, at least this way they are in the light. "

After saying that, Zhu Qiyu added: "Now there are great benefits to splitting up your sisters. Let Chao Yun and Mu Yu move into Xiyuan to take charge of the inner court and strengthen their control over the entire imperial city.

Civil servants were free to contact the Emperor Gongrang and the Crown Prince.

When a military general comes into contact with Emperor Gongrang and the Crown Prince, they are killed.

If civilian officials come into contact with military attachés, they will be killed. "

The reason why Zhu Qiyu is not so worried is because some people deify Zhu Qizhen too much, as if he is omnipotent.

In actual history, even if Jingtai's power was so weak, he still knew about the plot to seize the door in advance.

However, even if they knew the news in advance, Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, and Zhang Yong could not move the Jinyiwei, but Yu Qian, who was treated as a national scholar by Jingtai and was in charge of the Beijing camp, was stunned on the spot.

Jingtai's failure was precisely because he wanted to die indiscriminately, and he had to rush to make the prince useless.

After deposing the prince, he has become such a mess. If he still kills the prince, then why not conquer the south?

If you don't conquer and do nothing, your previous reputation will be ruined.

Conquest, that would be better. Next is the [-]:[-] version of the Tumu Fort Incident.Besides, once the strategy is well prepared, it should be implemented unswervingly, and swinging around is a taboo.Zhu Qiyu still decided to follow his own plan.

Jingtai in history, well, I can only say that he had very few close followers.

But just because Jingtai's only son is dead, you can't find a reason to stop being a loyal minister.After all, Yurang has set an example.

Is Zhibo’s son dead?Not only were their sons dead, but Uncle Zhi himself was also dead.But Yu Rang still created the eternal saying of "people treat me as a national scholar, and I will repay them as a national scholar".

Yu Rang also has another famous saying: A scholar will die for a confidant, and a woman will look good for a person who pleases herself.

So if he is a mediocre minister and abandons Jingtai because he has no sons, then there is no problem. It is human nature and everyone can understand it.

But it would be meaningless if, as a national scholar, you kept making excuses about Jingtai not having a son.Yurang is right there. Don’t you, the Confucian scholars of later generations, read history books?

On the second day, Zhu Qiyu got up early and sent his seven beloved concubines out.

Miao Yue and the other four imperial concubines who went to Shandong said goodbye politely: "It's cold outside. Your Majesty, please come back quickly. I will take good care of myself."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Take care, my dear concubine, Shandong will be left to you. If there is anything missing, write back immediately. Don't wrong yourself."

After saying goodbye to each other, Miao Yue and others got into the carriage and headed to Shandong.

Then they sent Zhao Yun, Mu Yu, and Xi Yue to the capital, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Mu Yu smiled and said: "Husband, please listen to your sister and sister at home. When I come back when I have time, I will prepare delicious food for you."

Zhu Qiyu still nodded: "Remember, it's important to guard against the palace people just like thieves. When they kill people, no blood is seen. This is the most terrifying thing."

"I know, husband, go back quickly. I will come back to play in a few days."

After seeing off three more people, Zhu Qiyu slowly walked back to Qingyun Pavilion to attend the small court meeting.

This court meeting was devoted to the study of recovering Annan.

On the third floor, only Zhu Qiyu's soft couch was spacious, while the rest of the space was crowded with important civil and military officials.

If Zhu Qizhen was really the chosen one like Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and a meteorite hit Qingyun Pavilion at this time, Zhu Qizhen would have successfully restored his position.

Zhu Qiyu still chose to let Xu Youzhen give the lecture this time.Xu Youzhen has a great advantage, that is, she loves to learn.

Before going to Shandong to control floods, Xu Youzhen brainstormed ideas and asked almost everyone from the Ministry of Industry for advice.

This time to recover Annan, Xu Youzhen had done enough homework again.

The first thing you have to do when giving a speech is to stimulate others and arouse the emotions of the audience.

So when Xu Youzhen came up, she acted like a loyal minister of Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty, and directly lifted the fig leaf to send the emperor off:
"Your Majesty, all ministers, please look at the map. Back then, the traitorous traitor 'granted land' to Annan. In addition to Ningyuan Prefecture in Yunnan, Luzhou in Guangxi, and Xiping Prefecture in Guangxi, he also demarcated boundaries in Guangdong.

It is divided into north and south by Shiwanshan Mountain and Maoling Mountains, and all the south side belongs to Annan.

Forget it, it's just that those traitors were so crazy that they even 'dedicated' Jiangping and other places on the coast to the north of Fenmaoling to Annan.

Annan actually created an extra enclave in Guangdong for no reason, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world.

According to Annan's plenipotentiary envoy Dinh Lie, Annan's King Le Li was shocked when he heard the news. After repeated confirmations many times, he realized that there would really be a pie falling on people's heads.

For a long time, Li Li looked up to the sky and praised: If this is the case in the prosperous Song Dynasty, I am really destined to favor you. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was speechless in his heart. This Xu Youzhen is really good at making stuff up, but I like it.

But I do know that Xuanmiao forced an enclave to be given to Annan in Guangdong.Later, after the Sino-French War, it was Zhang Zhidong who presided over the demarcation of the border between China and Vietnam.I begged my grandfather to sue my grandmother and took back this enclave from France, the overlord of Vietnam.

Zhu Zhanji made a clever imperial edict, and descendants worked hard for more than 400 years before they finally recovered this enclave.

This is a true portrayal of Ye Maizitian's heartache.

It was a fluke because I was lucky enough to meet a capable and responsible famous official like Zhang Zhidong.If we meet a god like Yang Shiqi, then God will not bless China.

Zhu Qiyu was full of slander, and the civil and military officials were also silent there.

Firstly, all the loyal ministers of Xuanmiao have been expelled from the center by Zhu Qiyu; secondly, the magical enclave incident is a real thing. Ding Lie even brought the imperial decree and boundary demarcation documents of Xuanmiao to Beijing, which is ironclad proof. The kind that is like a mountain and cannot be defended.

Even if there are still people who want to declare the temple, they have to endure it honestly.

With the authority of the Ming Emperor, messing around with the Emperor without any reason at all is asking for death.

Xu Youzhen was very good at chatting. After talking about the enclave incident, she continued to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty, before talking about Annan, I want to talk about Luchuan first.

Comparing the conquest of Luchuan and the recapture of Annan, the similarities and differences in geography, national power, and army between the two were analyzed as a reference for strategic setting. "
