Chapter 836: Different surnames can also be named kings
However, it is obvious that Li Dongyang has some other words. Although Liu Jian knew that Li Dongyang was right, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he had to wait patiently for Li Dongyang to continue speaking.
Li Dongyang immediately said: "I have said so much just now, but in fact I want Liu Gong to understand that Liu Chengfeng is deeply loved by the holy people and is a royal relative. Besides, this person is meticulous and has no handle to show others. I want to
It is really harder to move him down than to climb the sky. As long as the emperor is still there and the prince is still there, Liu Chengfeng will not be able to defeat him. However, there is no way to deal with Liu Chengfeng."
"I would like to hear it carefully." Liu Jian sighed and asked.
Li Dongyang said seriously: "Since you can't defeat it, why not think of another way? For example, this time, if Liu Chengfeng successfully suppresses the rebellion, the court begs the palace to give you a title for Liu Chengfeng?"
After Li Dongyang said this, the two people in the cabinet were stunned for a moment.
But immediately, they all understood Li Dongyang's thoughts.
Liu Chengfeng is already a duke. As a duke, if you go further, it will be a prince. Not to mention whether Liu Chengfeng is qualified or not, although this prince has a high position and a powerful position, there is one that is customized.
Even if any prince must be a vassal, that is, without the conscription from the palace, he cannot enter the capital. Once he becomes a vassal, he will no longer be the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he will no longer stay in the capital.
As long as Liu Chengfeng leaves the capital, even if he is asked to be a local emperor, so what? As long as he cannot affect the court and cannot control the government affairs, the cabinet will not be interested in him.
Li Dongyang's method is indeed effective. On the surface, it seems that Liu Chengfeng was erected high. However, Liu Chengfeng, who left the capital, was like a tiger falling from Pingyang, and it was not worth worrying.
But……
Liu Jian seemed a little unwilling to accept it, but now it is obvious that this is the only way to be more effective. Liu Jian either let Liu Chengfeng continue to expand, or he was just to help him go, which shows that the latter is most in line with the interests of the cabinet.
However, another problem arises. Liu Chengfeng is not a royal family. Even if he successfully suppresses the rebellion, he will be the king... According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, even if his contributions are prominent, he will not be able to pass this program.
Seeing Li Dongyang looking confident, Liu Jian said, "Binzhi, quelling rebellion is a great contribution to the court, but he wants to be the king. I'm afraid he still lacks some."
Li Dongyang smiled slightly: "Mr. Liu is wrong. In fact, it is difficult to call the king. It is easy to call the king. Whether the title of the king is not based on the achievements of the ancestors, but whether the emperor has this idea. If the palace is unwilling to do so.
, and there is a way for ancestors to achieve the law, so it is naturally difficult to ascend to heaven. But what if the emperor had this idea? Rules are dead, but people live. So in my foolish opinion, this matter is the biggest
The question is whether the emperor has this idea.”
Liu Jian nodded, and the ancestors had so many achievements, but they didn't see many who followed them. What is the most important thing about the emperor. Liu Jian couldn't help but say, "Then tell me, does the emperor have this idea?"
"Yes." Li Dongyang said without hesitation: "What the emperor wants is the wealth of the Liu family for generations. Now the emperor and the prince are here. Although the wealth of the Liu family can be guaranteed, what will happen after three or four generations? Then the relationship between the royal family and the Liu family will be separated by the time.
It has become weak, and there is no long-lasting wealth in this world. In this capital, how many families have been prominent for a while, but they have fallen into decline in the end? And if they are granted the title of king, the Liu family can be rich and prosperous all the time. As long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, the Liu family can be rich and prosperous.
For generations, Princess Taikang's descendants naturally have no worries. However, although the emperor had this idea, the fact was too great, so he could only be buried in his heart. If it were this time, Liu Chengfeng would be able to stand up.
After making great contributions, someone will add fuel to the fire. I wrote a letter to ask Liu Chengfeng to be the king, and this matter will be half done."
Liu Jian took a deep breath, nodded secretly, but then frowned again: "This dynasty seems to have no precedent. Although the rules are dead and people live, if there is no high-sounding reason, I'm afraid..."
Li Dongyang smiled slightly and said, "There is no reason. According to the law, the other surnames cannot be granted a king during their lifetime, but what if they are vassal kings?"
"Father King?" Liu Jian frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Li Dongyang said seriously: "Yes, I heard that Lianzhou has merged several counties in Annan Kingdom. Recently, because Annan Kingdom has owed a large amount of loans on Lianzhou, Annan Kingdom is unable to repay them, so it has to merge several counties.
Entering Lianzhou, although Lianzhou is now a prefecture, its territory has been expanded more than twice as much as before Lianzhou. Seventy percent of the land belongs to Annan. These lands are naturally not from the Ming Dynasty, but now
To be honest, this matter is also a hot potato for the court. Liu Chengfeng was obsessed with profit and was determined to annex the land of the Annan people. However, in the eyes of outsiders, those who don’t know are still considered to be our court for these lands.
The court has been coveting for a long time, and the court has not had much interest in this wild land. Therefore, in theory, this Lianzhou has no longer had much to do with our Ming Dynasty. At least the court does not recognize these territory."
Liu Jian nodded silently.
This is not wrong. The Ming Dynasty was not interested in Annan. Because of these lands, countries thought that it was too unworthy for the Ming Dynasty to embezzle the land of the vassal states. Therefore, although Lianzhou Prefecture has been expanding for a long time, the court has been
It has always been an ignorant attitude towards Lianzhou Prefecture. In other words, if you embezzle a county, the court only regards it as if it is not known, neither including it in the territory nor setting up any yamen, but all of it is regarded as the fundamental thing.
It didn't happen. If you Liu Chengfeng wants to take care of this, the court will not care about it anyway.
Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Look at it, although Liu Chengfeng's fief is in Lianzhou, in theory, his territory is not the territory of our Ming Dynasty. In theory, he is a king of a foreign vassal state, and
There is no difference between King Annan, it just lacks recognition from the court. Of course, Liu Chengfeng's other identity is also a minister of my Ming Dynasty, but no matter what, Liu Chengfeng has two identities, he is both a vassal and a minister, if
He is just a minister of a foreign surname. According to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, he naturally cannot be granted a king. But if he is a vassal lord of a foreign vassal, he is the lord of a country. As long as the court recognizes it, he issues a gold book and issuing a decree to be a king, what's wrong with it?
?”
This explanation seems complicated, but it is actually very simple to operate. That is to seize Liu Chengfeng’s territory outside the Ming Dynasty to make things bigger. In this way, it will be legitimate to add fuel to the fire.
It's right.
Liu Jian suddenly realized and couldn't help but laugh: "If it were a vassal king of the foreign vassal, it would be great. Liu Chengfeng was making trouble in Lianzhou anyway, and the court did not care about it. Let him be the king of the foreign vassal, and he would go back to the future.
We can also worry about how to cause trouble in Lianzhou... Secondly, since he is a foreign vassal king, he cannot enter Beijing in addition to congratulations every year. This method is good, so let him do it
King Annan. Just this matter, how should we start? We must have a name first."
Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Actually, this is simple, you have to do it step by step. First, you will naturally build this momentum first. For example, Lianzhou is not the territory of our Ming Dynasty. People in the world must know that newspapers these days
To make the news faster, why not use newspapers to introduce the overview of Lianzhou, just say that although Liu Chengfeng’s fiefdom was Lianzhou, his vassal areas were spread all over Annan, which was not justified..."
Liu Jian also understood what Li Dongyang meant and said with a smile: "This news came out. Students will definitely defend Liu Chengfeng. I believe that this is the land given by Annan Kingdom, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Li Dongyang nodded, then Liu Jian said, "Let's give them another step, and say that although it was Annan gift, it was not a gift to the court, so it was still not the territory of our Ming Dynasty, neither the territory of the Ming Dynasty, nor the country of Annan now.
All, then…”
After hearing this, Liu Jian couldn't help laughing and said, "Then at this time, if someone writes a letter, he wants to give Liu Chengfeng a title. As long as the emperor thinks, Lianzhou may become the Yue Kingdom.
It was Dian Kingdom, and Liu Chengfeng was naturally the King of Yue or Dian King. In this way, his status was no different from King Annan, so there was no reason to continue to stay in the capital, although he and the emperor were
The prince has a close relationship and is a royal relative, so he has to be a vassal. As long as he leaves the capital, even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will probably not be able to control His Royal Highness."
Li Dongyang nodded: "Liu Gong Gao's remarks."
Liu Jian suppressed his hands: "I have any great arguments. You have come up with this idea. To be honest, we and Liu Chengfeng are now at odds, but we are instigating to give Liu Chengfeng a crown.
I feel very uncomfortable, but then again, for the sake of the country and the crown prince, I can only do this now. Binzhi, leave this matter to you to deal with. For those newspapers, please find a few reliable ones first.
Spread the news and come step by step.”
Li Dongyang said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, this matter is for me."
Li Dongyang was in a good mood at this time. In fact, Liu Jian and Liu Chengfeng had turned against each other, but Li Dongyang did not. After all, his clan brother was still on Liu Chengfeng's side. Although everyone was their own leader, it was still possible to avoid conflict.
It's good to avoid conflicts. Now, as long as this matter can be done, Liu Chengfeng will naturally become his local emperor. The cabinet will still be the cabinet. Everyone will not violate the rivers in the future. As for their clan brothers, they are now very deep.
Liu Chengfeng trusted him, and he was afraid that he would inevitably go to Lianzhou to be Liu Chengfeng's right-hand man and become the right-hand man of the vassal king. This ending seems to be too bad.
