Chapter 882 Coveting Annan(1/2)
In the spring of Shaowu's fifteenth year, major events occurred in the capital, and King Qin got married.
The princess is the daughter of Li Jizu, Duke of Anguo. She has just turned sixteen and is considered a childhood sweetheart.
The huge capital city was instantly filled with joy and a festive atmosphere.
Perhaps it was the first wedding banquet since the founding of the royal family. The emperor attached great importance to it. The Qin Palace was full of distinguished guests and hundreds of officials gathered, making it extremely lively.
After the King of Qin made the decision, the King of Qi also decided to marry the daughter of Li Jingwu, Duke of Yi State, in June.
As for the prince's marriage, it was the youngest daughter of Duke Chen Yongfu, who was a perfect match.
This year has been full of happy events, making the government and the public rejoiced. However, another thing is lingering in everyone's mind:
What should King Qin do?
It’s impossible to still place them in Beijing, right?
There was originally a Wangfu Street, but now there is a second one?
At the banquet, everyone was whispering to each other and discussing the fate of King Qin.
"It is naturally not advisable to enfeoff places like Xiang Ming."
After another round of changes, Wang Fuzhi returned to the capital and served as censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, becoming a rising star in the spotlight of both the government and the public.
Huang Zongxi praised: "Yes, the harm outweighs the benefits and does great harm to the people. If the kings are allowed to be in the capital, they can keep a close eye on them, but it will be difficult for the prince."
Many princes gathered in Beijing. It was like raising a poisonous poison. You would inevitably fight against each other. The prince was like a target, which was extremely dangerous.
For example, in the Yongle Dynasty, the King of Han had coveted it for a long time, causing shock in the court.
"There are quite a few people in Taiwan who are preparing to submit a letter, wanting to place the King of Qin in Xi'an, which can be regarded as returning to his homeland."
Wang Fuzhi took a bite of the tender beef and couldn't help but praise it.
"However, after picking up the belongings and not putting them away, I became silent as water..." Wang Fuzhi chuckled.
After the emperor's reform, the censors in the Tai's admonishment department who could directly advise the emperor were only the censors of the left and right capitals, the censors of the deputy capitals, and the censors of the left and right officials.
These people are respectfully called Suppliers, and their rank is higher than that of Minister.
The rest of the censors, as long as their advice involves the emperor and government affairs, can only be reported to these people before being sent to the emperor's desk.
Of course, it is still as easy as before for an ordinary censor to impeach officials and ministers.
Naturally, the advice of civil and military officials came through memorials and secret boxes.
The real purpose of this kind of reform is to correct the unhealthy trend in Yushitai - taking pride in the imperial staff.
The literati in the Taizu and Chengzu dynasties were well-behaved and conscientious, and they would just behead them, while those in Jiajing and Wanli were just spanked.
Civil servants also bully the weak and fear the strong, and bully honest people.
And, to be honest, the establishment of the censor was originally to check and balance civil officials, especially those high-ranking officials, to avoid endangering the imperial power.
Even in the weak Song Dynasty, the power of appointment and removal of censors was always firmly in the hands of the emperor, becoming an important weight restricting the power of the prime minister.
If only it was just getting back on track.
As for admonishing the government, to a certain extent, it is just a fantasy.
Because the censors are just a group of young trolls in their twenties and thirties, the information they receive is very low, and they basically follow what others say.
So they have always acted as knives, and the emperor has to hold the knife himself.
Nowadays, there are hundreds of people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, basically all appointed and dismissed by the emperor himself.
It can be said that to a certain extent, Wang Fuzhi can be regarded as Jane in the emperor's heart.
"Beijing is not easy, and the place is not good, it is difficult!"
Huang Zongxi smiled, looked at the lively scene in front of him, glanced at the gate, and couldn't help but sigh: "The heat is adding fuel to the fire, it's getting more and more lively today."
Sure enough, not long after, the emperor's envoy came over and handed out rewards, and the queen and concubines also sent congratulatory gifts.
The noise of Prince Qin's Mansion directly silenced the entire street.
"Like a dream, the noise will eventually dissipate after a few days, but the fun is over after all."
Huang Zongxi shook his head, thinking deeply.
Since various materials are directly related to the Ming History Museum, they were rarely seen in the past and can be consulted casually today.
Wang Fuzhi's scarred face twitched, revealing a wry smile.
In fact, it seems that the future future of King Qin has been seen. Most of the civil and military officials came reluctantly, but they had no choice. This was an oracle.
The two of them were uneasy while eating the food.
Most of the officials were preoccupied.
Because the prince and the king of Qi came together to wish their marriage together, they were happy for a while, but no one could see the barrier.
Fireworks at night make the sky across the capital become as bright as day.
The next day, the King of Qin took the princess to the palace to meet the emperor and the empress, and finally his biological mother Zhang Yu.
"Look at my son, he's already married."
Zhang Yu looked at his son, who looked so talented and had a rosy face, and was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
She couldn't be more satisfied with the bride, so she held her hand and stayed in the palace.
At this time, King Qin turned back and saw the emperor in the study.
At this moment, the emperor had changed out of his attire and put on his regular clothes.
Wearing a purple four-piece dragon robe, the Wing Shan Crown was removed from the top of his head, and his hair was tied up, making him look very relaxed.
"You got married yesterday, and you are considered an adult. There is something I must say to you."
The emperor was filled with emotion. Looking at his eldest son, who was upright and seventeen years old, he felt quite nostalgic.
At the beginning of the war, the rear was secure, but the heirs were not prosperous. The birth of Zhu Cunzui definitely played an immeasurable role.
Zhu Cunmai's attitude was low and he said sincerely: "My son, please obey your father's instructions."
"It's not like giving orders, but I have some considerations and I must tell you."
Zhu Yixi looked serious, and immediately clapped her hands, and a huge screen map appeared in front of the two of them.
This is the emperor's favorite map, the Splendid Landscape Map.
The screen is more than one foot long and seven feet high. After the missionaries pointed it out, the Asian part is already clearly visible.
A large number of dependent countries use different threads and show different colors.
The vast land made people marvel, but the densely packed vassal states made Zhu Cunming sigh.
Although these countries are small, together they are not small in scale.
Suddenly, the emperor's finger pointed north, towards Mobei.
Here, the Fengjing Mansion appears to be particularly intimidating.
Although Zeng Ying led the Tuxietu Khan tribe to the north, returned to the old territory, and united with the Zhasak Khan tribe, it was quite powerful.
Unfortunately, the Manchu Qing took advantage of the power of victory and the Chechen Khan tribe to win over many scattered tribes in Mobei, giving them the upper hand.
It will definitely be impossible to subdue the Manchus for a while, so we can only see-saw.
But what was originally the territory of the Khalkha Mongols has now become a battlefield between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with people coming and going, it's very lively.
For a moment, Zhu Cunming thought he was asking about important military and national affairs. He felt happy and kept thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually said bluntly: "I originally wanted to capture this so-called Fengjing and make it your capital. Unfortunately, despite Zeng Ying's best efforts, he could not defeat it."
Hearing this, Zhu Cunzhang felt a chill in his heart.
Good guy, Fengjing Mansion further north in Mobei, is this what people can do?
He was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
The emperor ignored him and continued: "Later, I thought that if I build a city for you in the Hulunbuir and Horqin areas, with Jilin as your back and the Manchu Qing in front, you can be considered the King of Sai."
"It's just that you are still young, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is strong. It is conservatively estimated that there are no less than 100,000 troops. No matter how many troops are lost, they will be trapped. The imperial court will not be so wasteful."
As he spoke, the emperor also smiled: "This place is bitterly cold and full of threats. You are my son after all, and you must always look for a good place."
Zhu Cunmai was so moved that he couldn't help but raise his hands and said: "After all, we have to find a place. Why don't we stay in the capital?"
"No." Zhu Yixi shook his head directly: "Of course King Sai can't do it, but you, as the King of Qin, are indispensable for suppressing the place."
Zhu Cunmai felt bitter in his heart.
It is better to be in jail in a palace somewhere else than to be comfortable in the capital, with no worries about food and drink, and a comfortable life.
The father actually wanted to drive them to a remote place, which was really chilling.
Compared with the prince, the vassal king of Ming Dynasty was too uncomfortable!
The vassal kings of the Shaowu Dynasty were even more deadly.
"So, this time I found a good place for you."
