Chapter 527: Implementation(1/2)
The word "Nan" has been popular in Annan for hundreds of years and has been used since the Song Dynasty.
For Annan, it is of very important significance, which is equivalent to the integration and independence of the Annan nation.
Annan itself also has a large number of indigenous people, and now they have a greater sense of belonging to the country because of the word "Nang".
Although Chen Yong longed for power and was also afraid of the Ming Dynasty, he was still unwilling to say that the word "Nan" should be completely abolished on this matter.
After all, he also grew up in the land of Annan. He has always been a puppet before, but that does not mean he is a fool.
After hesitating for a few times, Chen Yong said, "Mr. Zhao, this matter is too important for me, Annan. Can you allow me to think about it before making a decision?"
"You are also aware of the current situation in the imperial court. Almost all ministers and ministers are strongly opposed to this matter. If I insist on going my own way, I am afraid that I will lose the heart of ministers and ministers."
This answer obviously made Zhao Yuanhong very dissatisfied.
The purpose of coming here this time is actually to use Chen Muyue's return to Annan to visit her relatives, so as to force the abolition of the word "Nan".
So much preparation has been made before, but Chen Yong obviously still thinks that the word "Nan" is very important to Annan.
Zhao Yuanhong knew very well that if he could not succeed this time, he would not have such a good opportunity next time.
It is difficult to force Chen Yong to do this. Although the guards of Annan Palace have all been replaced by Ming soldiers, it can be said that his life is under control.
But the condition to be achieved for abolishing the word "Nam" is that Chen Yonglai should take the lead and guide the ministers of the Annan court to remember it together.
This is not just an edict, it involves too many things.
The customs that have existed for hundreds of years cannot be changed by all Annan people overnight. This requires a slow process.
And as long as all the top brass on Annan's side agree, Zhao Yuanhong, Liu Sheng and others can use this push to continuously influence all Annan people.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanhong said in a somewhat calm tone: "To be fair to the Emperor, an envoy has already reported to His Highness the Grand Sun about the Annan word."
"His Royal Highness Taisun is very surprised by this matter, because since Annan paid tribute to our Central Plains dynasty, no emperor of any generation has ever known about this matter."
"His Royal Highness Taisun means that Annan should belong to the Ming Dynasty again, rather than thinking about escaping from independence all the time."
"There is something I want to tell the emperor clearly. Now not only is the Queen Mother Yue the concubine of the grandson, but also the princesses of Goryeo and Japan are the concubines of the grandson."
"His Royal Highness Taisun is only twenty years old now. For decades to come, the Ming Dynasty will be in the hands of His Highness Taisun Dai."
"According to the news, the first child born by the Grand Concubine is a princess, which means there are many possibilities. I think the Emperor should be very clear about these."
"If Concubine Yue can please His Highness Taisun at this time and has the possibility of being favored, then it is not impossible to give birth to a boy."
"And as long as a boy can be born, there is a slight possibility that it will take a long time to come and go."
"Compared to the Ming Dynasty, Annan is just a county. As long as Concubine Yue can be favored there, she will be able to support Annan a lot in the future."
Zhao Yuanhong also became ruthless at this time and simply put some matters that might involve the struggle in the Ming court directly on the table with Chen Yong.
Sure enough, when Chen Yong heard this, he naturally had many more thoughts in his mind.
According to Zhao Yuanhong, if his daughter gives birth to a son, it is very likely that he will obtain the status of a legitimate son.
Of course it doesn't mean that he can become the future Ming Prince.
Chen Yong still knew this very well in his heart, but as long as he could become a legitimate son and gain the love of His Highness the Grand Sun, he would have the possibility of obtaining overseas vassal territory.
This also means that the overall power of Annan Kingdom will also be improved because of it.
I have to say that Chen Yong was indeed a little agitated at this moment.
But just this cake is not enough.
It was not enough for Chen Yong to make up his mind to abolish the word "Num".
Zhao Yuanhong continued to add firewood and said: "His Royal Highness Taisun's younger brother, Emperor Yunzhen, the Emperor must have heard of it."
Chen Yong nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it."
As he spoke, he said with some sigh, "This boy is really unlucky. Who would have thought that His Highness the Grand Sun would come back at this juncture after disappearing for ten years."
"Otherwise, this grandson of the Ming Dynasty would be Zhu Yunzhen."
The news that the Ming Dynasty canonized the crown prince must naturally be announced to both China and foreign countries.
Chen Yong, who first received the news, also clearly understood that Zhu Yunwen was the grandson.
At the time of the initial canonization, although there had not yet been a formal ceremony, all the envoys from various countries stationed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty had already spread the news back to the country.
Then Zhu Ying came out of nowhere, which was truly jaw-dropping.
Who would have thought that the eldest grandson of Huang Ming, who had been dead for ten years, would be resurrected like this.
At the beginning, no one believed it.
Even Chen Yong felt that there must be some conspiracy involved.
Later, with the excavation of the Tomb of Prince Yu in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, the bones inside disappeared, which made me somewhat convinced.
Of course, for kings of small countries like Chen Yong, they are only somewhat curious about these things. Believe it or not, it has little to do with them, and it is not their turn to say anything.
These are all the Ming Emperor's family affairs.
Whether it's true or false, as long as the Ming Emperor decides on it, there won't be any changes.
Zhao Yuanhong continued: "There is something that the emperor does not know yet. The vassal territory of Emperor Yunzhen's grandson has already been settled in the country of Champa."
"This news can be said to be top secret. I also want the Emperor to know the pros and cons, so I informed the Emperor."
"The king of Champa also wants a lot of princesses. Now he wants to let him give up a city to Emperor Yunzhen's grandson to join the vassal. He proposed to pay tribute to the princess. I think His Highness Taisun will definitely agree."
"Currently, the sea ban has been lifted. On the Maritime Silk Road, Champa is the first stop. There are countless benefits to be gained from this."
"From what I can see, in less than ten years, Champa's wealth is likely to surpass Annan's."
"If Princess Champa is also favored by His Highness the Grand Sun, then some things will be difficult to say."
This last paragraph can be said to have completely overwhelmed the final balance in Chen Yong's heart.
Annam and Champa are neighboring countries, and there are constant frictions between them.
Local wars can even be said to be commonplace.
Among them, the reason why Hu Ji-ya can have his current authority is that he defeated Champa in a large-scale battlefield and regained the lost territory for Annan.
If it was true, as Zhao Yuanhong said, that Champa surpassed Annan in all aspects, how could Chen Yong be willing to do so.
At this point, Zhao Yuanhong stopped.
After waiting for a while, he bowed his hands and said: "Please consider it carefully, Your Majesty. It can be said that this opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back."
At this point, Chen Yong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Please tell Mr. Zhao to tell Supervisor Liu that I agree with the abolition of the word "Nan"."
"I would like to invite Supervisor Liu to come to the palace to discuss the specific matters in detail."
Hearing Chen Yong relent, Zhao Yuanhong raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed surprise, and said quickly: "Okay, I will go and tell Liu Jianjun now, and I will come to the emperor tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
With Chen Yong's agreement, Annan has taken a big step forward.
There will definitely be a lot of resistance to the abolition of the word "Nan", but as long as there is a beginning, the Ming Dynasty can take the opportunity to intervene with force.
In terms of education and punishment, ensure the progress of the abolition of the word "Num".
On the surface, it is to abolish the word "Num", but in fact it is also a power reshuffle.
With the help of this matter, Ming Dynasty will achieve a critical success in penetrating Annan's power.
The next day.
After receiving the news, Liu Sheng immediately came to the Annan Palace to discuss the matter in detail with Chen Yong.
The main provisions involved here are about how to promote the word Nom. The Annan nobles and people who are accustomed to the word Nom will definitely resist at the beginning, and the policy promulgated by Chen Yong
The edict is equivalent to an extension of Annan's royal power law.
Those who disobey will definitely be dealt with severely.
There are so many different things here.
The third day.
Annan court meeting.
Chen Yong attended as the Supreme Emperor.
In Annan's emperor system, Chen Yong was actually the real emperor.
However, the edict of the Supreme Emperor is obviously much more reliable than the edict of the King of Annan.
Of course, Chen Yong's edict previously had to be reviewed by Hu Jishao, but this is naturally no longer necessary.
At the court meeting, Hu Jisao saw Liu Sheng and Zhao Yuanhong appearing at the court meeting, and the emperor also appeared today.
I immediately felt that something was about to happen.
In the recent period of time, Hu Jishen has been in a state of confusion.
For more than a year, the Ming Dynasty continued to infiltrate and bribe the surrendered officials under its command.
Hu Jishen also knew this very well.
But there was no way to break up with Daming.
To be continued...
