The question before us is: the emperor's eldest son, King Yue, has long been married to the Duke of Guizhou, and his future lies in the southwest.
Needless to say, the prince, the third son of the emperor is the king of Ao, and his future is in the south. The original plan of the fourth son of the emperor and the king is also self-evident.
The biggest problem for the other princes is that they are still young.
Nowadays, North Korea is the first to have big problems, and it has not given Ming Dynasty the chance to attack the Japanese first and encircle North Korea from the north and the south.
Zhu Houcong considered this issue.
Ever since the news came from the Yalu River at the end of last year, Zhu Houcong has been thinking about possible opportunities and subsequent dispositions.
At this time, he said very directly: "The king of Liao has been weak since he was a child, and he has been taught by me since he was a child. His mother, Mao, has a clear history. Shen Yi has a certain reputation, and her reputation as a virtuous person is known all over the world."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" Yan Song was startled, "This is the first time that we are concerned about inequality rather than the scarcity of numbers! Although the kings of the clan are grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, but..."
In a word, there are so many vassal kings, who wouldn't want to get this opportunity to live freely?
"The advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Zhu Houcong was determined, "If you don't hold me back, you will have a chance. In addition to making great achievements, being allowed to be the master of a foreign vassal is the only way out without being demoted."
Now the ministers understood a little bit. It turned out that at the end of last year, when the two vassal kings were strictly punished, one Duke, one Marquis and one Uncle, His Majesty was probably ready to give this sweet date?
Obviously, this is to let some people see that the pie is getting bigger and bigger. In this case, not only will it not be held back, but it will also actively support Ming's new strategy.
Maybe it also left a foreshadowing that if things don't work well or have different intentions in the future, the emperor can take back several key positions at the right time...
Becoming a vassal king with real land and power... Although it is comfortable and carefree, it is not necessarily easy to do.
Regarding this issue, I just want to vent my breath now.
On Li's side, he actually took Elder Yin's head to plead guilty.
Even the Lantern Festival has not yet passed, and the North Korean prince is fierce and murderous. Although he deserves the praise of "filial piety" from the Ming Dynasty people who are watching the fun, he is still "not particular" after all.
It is unlucky to go under the knife during the Chinese New Year!
They are really barbarians, even the so-called royal children.
However, he was very likely to succeed to the throne and was willing to offer his land as a vassal, but the people in the capital were still upset.
Careful people have been preparing for it for a long time, and since the tenth day of the first lunar month, more and more scholars and businessmen have been helping to request orders.
It doesn’t matter what it is to be accepted as real soil, but from the perspective of culture and education, and from the perspective of people’s livelihood, please ask the court to make a determination to solve the urgent problem of North Korea’s collapse.
And this change also brought excitement to Shang Yuan and Mao Longyin's "figure out" the last step.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shang Yuan and Mao Longyin also knelt down outside the Meridian Gate during their first meeting in the new year and reached the climax.
Their strength is weaker, Shang Yuan's identity as the crown prince is clearer, and the King of Ryukyu who has not been heard from for a long time must be no longer alive.
At the beginning of the new year, the two countries offered their lands and became vassals.
In the National Assembly Hall, the Ming Emperor finally issued a clear edict.
Prince Li of North Korea granted the title of Lord An Dong, and assisted the Liaodong Eastern Frontier Army and the Beiyang Navy to enter North Korea to quell the chaos. The national affairs of North Korea will be discussed later after the civil war is calmed down.
The Ryukyu Crown Prince Shang Yuan was granted the title of Duke of Taitung, the Ryukyu Justice Mao Longyin was granted the title of Taitung Guerrilla General, and the Ryukyu Navy went to Ryukyu to expel the Japanese pirates. The Ryukyu national plan will be discussed after Shuri is recovered and the Japanese pirates escape.
Many years later, in addition to the harassment of the Mongolian Khan's court in the Xuening Border Region, the Ming Dynasty once again raised its war flag.
Tianjin Zhigu, inside and outside Shanhaiguan, Ningbo and Quanzhou will soon become lively.
Cui Yuan, the president of Da Ming Bank, is cooperating with the Ministry of Finance and Taxation and the National Treasury to prepare for the redemption of the old ten-year treasury bonds and the sale of the new 10-year treasury bonds, while Yu Chengye once again convened the enterprises under the Huangming Assets Bureau for mobilization.
Chengguo Gong Zhu Xizhong has not yet been convicted, but he will no longer be able to sit as president of the Construction Bureau.
New people should be recommended.
But that's not the most important thing.
The most important thing was his discussion with the vassal kings in the grain reserve in his capacity as concurrently serving as Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion as an auxiliary to the Zongren Order.
"Last year's revenue and statistics have not yet been completed, and the army has not moved forward with food and grass. The grain storage account needs to be operated at full capacity."
Yu Chengye, who cooperated with Lu Bing, Guo Xun and others to create two feudal lords in one fell swoop, is now speaking more effectively. At least these feudal lords are trembling with fear at the moment.
King Zhu Rangxu of Shu was still alive, and he immediately said very honestly: "I should share your Majesty's worries."
Yu Chengye added: "Now, two more need to withdraw from the grain storage account and no longer receive salary and share profits in the future. One of them, His Majesty has appointed Liao Fan."
He was a weak vassal king who was almost expelled due to his crimes, and only inherited the title of King of Liao after adopting the name of Mao. The young man just trembled in his heart and asked in disbelief: "I wonder... what is the crime of the little king?
"
Yu Chengye looked serious and shook his head: "No crime! This is His Majesty's favor. The other family needs to take the initiative to ask for it."
Everyone didn't know why, but Yu Chengye said solemnly: "If there is any leakage this time, and His Majesty has a clear decree, it will be a capital crime! In exchange for the grain storage number and other shares in other enterprises that were given to Tian by the old people, they will be upright and honest."
The position of the lord of the country. My princes, do you still remember that in the early spring of last year, your Majesty issued a decree to test the princes of the vassals, and clearly stated that they are all qualified in virtue and talent, and those who understand the righteousness will be able to enfeoff various countries as masters in the future? "
There was silence in the hall.
Yu Chengye saluted the King of Liao: "The King of Liao is one of them. Now there is a country that has dedicated its land to become a vassal. The king is waiting for you!"
Then the hall became agitated again.
Did you really mean what you said back then?
Maybe it was because the previous storm had made people too scared, or maybe the emperor had kept them, the sects and vassal kings, in the capital and didn't seem to be so reassured about them, so he didn't take it seriously after he calmed down.
Already.
Do you really want to do this now?
Some of the princes have reached adulthood and can be granted vassal status!
Yu Chengye finally smiled: "Your Majesty said, there are still many opportunities to be loyal to the emperor and the country. The world is so big, the Ming Dynasty can accommodate dozens of vassal states around it. Today, you need to make up your mind again. First express your stance and fight for the invitation, and then
Go to the imperial chariot and listen to the edict. There are still many matters to be discussed with His Majesty and the princes before choosing another king besides the Liao prince. Once you become the true master of a country, how to educate and govern foreign vassals is a new lesson."
As a result, the palace completely exploded.
Ryukyu is like a city, right? North Korea is like a province, right?
If you really become the real leader of the country, what will your previous salary and the profits received from the shares converted from the land and house be considered?
The word "fighting for invitation"... actually means that they should make up their minds at this moment, at least temporarily give up their profit sharing and queue up.
The operating space of the grain storage account is naturally larger.
Now that the plan has really advanced to this point, there is indeed quite a lot that needs to be done in order to build the structure.
What Tang Shunzhi said was to push away all the local powerful people, and to divide the land among the powerful people would not be so brutal, but the scale would not be small either.
It was not only to allow the people of foreign vassals to get an opportunity for large-scale benefit distribution, but also to make room for the princes, civil and military officials, merchants, and people who moved there during the Ming Dynasty.
As for how to cooperate with the local pro-Ming faction, how to establish a new system, and how to ensure a stable relationship with the Ming Dynasty, the kings of Liao and Su, who were finally elected by the emperor, were extremely worried.
