"The emperor ordered the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to be ordered by Tiancheng. The imperial edict said: I have been in charge of the eastern land, and I have inherited the saints and inherited the nations, and I have been blessed by heaven. I have been here for a hundred years.
I have been ascending the throne for thirteen years, working diligently and working hard, and dare not slacken. Fortunately, thanks to my ancestors' protection, all officials serve me, so all nations in the world have a desire to admire the court. The vassals come to court to bathe in grace, and the vast kingdoms are transformed and the barbarians have been transformed. People also strive to follow it first, so the laws of ancestors were followed by all countries, and everyone admired the righteousness of the sages.
The barbarians did not fear the power of the Ming Dynasty, but were actually benevolent in the country. The Ming Dynasty governed the country with virtue and sought the grace of the people. There was no case of embezzling the vassal territory.
Although the country is big, it is not a weak person. This is the way for the country. Here are Duke Lian, Duke Concubine, and Liu Chengfeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, who has made great contributions to the country. I remember his loyalty and righteousness, so I broke the old system of my ancestors and granted the title of Lianzhou. , in order to enjoy the national salary forever, he is respectful and has served me for several years, but he is heartbroken and does not care about personal gain but is full of repayment. I feel very relieved. I have heard people say that he was granted Lianzhou Later, the barbarian land was opened to attract refugees, and the assassination was good at governing the country, and it also shared the worries of the country. However, the Ming Dynasty inherited the destiny of heaven......... changed Lianzhou to Chu, and ordered him to be the king of Chu, and gave gold seals and gold books. , I informed both China and foreign countries, and all the people heard about it. I admire this!"
A thousand words of imperial edict. At the beginning, Liu Chengfeng heard about the coming of all nations and the barbarians who were bathing in the grace. Now the matter in Lianzhou is in full swing. Liu Chengfeng heard about it now. It’s a headache for all parties to benefit. I don’t mean to say that morality is not a good thing, but it’s really disgusting to be so paranoid.
In fact, Liu Chengfeng also knew that since ancient times, the Celestial Kingdoms have been righteous and have been very righteous. They have made a name for grace and never embezzled other people's land. This is not because of the possession of the moral god, but because of the productivity at that time. It is said that the Shangbangs are all in an agricultural society, and what the agricultural society needs most is fertile land, and the Ming Dynasty occupied one of the most fertile lands in the world. As for those border vassal states, most of the productivity is low, and the land is They are all remote, and it is not only a benefit but a burden. You must know that in this era, even Lingnan and Qiongzhou were places where troops were exiled. Although Lingnan improved a little during the Southern Song Dynasty, it was a place where birds did not lay eggs. 1. It can be imagined how poor and remote the vassal states were at this time.
Therefore, the rulers of all generations simply followed the flow and claimed to be kind and justice, and developed such a system of tribute, which only maintained an apparent status, but never absorbed and annexed the land of the vassal state. Therefore, this theory also passed After the scholars of all generations were polished, the tribute system of this country gradually became thicker. In fact, from the beginning, it was obvious that the emperors were not interested in expanding territory, but because of productivity limitations, this set of theories transmitted hundreds or even hundreds of times. For thousands of years, today's scholars are blind to it and do not consider the reality at all. The result is that the ancestors' tricks of deceiving themselves based on reality have made the bastards in the capital become moral masters. Liu Chengfeng is very sad. , if he was not careful, he became the bad guy in the battle between the Tudou brothers.
However, when he heard the decree halfway, Liu Chengfeng finally felt at ease, and the imperial edict began to praise him for making a lot of contributions to the court. He also added the four words "respectfulness".
These four words are very interesting, because the beginning of the imperial edict was clearly aimed at Liu Chengfeng's land. According to the moral gentlemen in the court, Liu Chengfeng is now unpardoned and arrogant and domineering. He is not only in court.
It is really unbearable and bullying foreign countries. It is so unbearable.
But the imperial edict made a decision and added the word "conspect" to Liu Chengfeng. What is respect and caution? It is a pair of antonyms with the arrogant and domineering criticized in the capital. This is clearly the emperor who set his character for himself and overthrew it.
Even the emperor said that those corrupt scholars and ulterior motives made him judgement. If someone said he was arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant, he said he was ignorant of courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame, it was equivalent to saying that the emperor was not conscious of people and was fighting against the emperor.
But don't think about the words in the imperial edict, because every word is thought out. Whether it is the cabinet or the imperial edict drafted by the emperor himself, some words will never be added at will. If it is added, it must be
It contains profound meaning.
At the end, a vassal was established in Lianzhou for no reason, and the country was changed to Chu and ordered to be the king of Chu. Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment.
In fact, when the eunuch read the imperial edict, Liu Chengfeng had thought of countless possibilities, either the emperor and he shared the same hatred or the emperor forced himself to make concessions in the matter of Lianzhou. Anyway, no matter what, this
It is a process of game. During this process, the palace intends to take kindness to the ministers and sacrifice Liu Chengfeng's interests, or to take a tough attitude towards the ministers for the sake of Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng is a little more
It’s not surprising that he has seen enough in recent years and has long been numb.
But it actually called the founding of a vassal state, which made Liu Chengfeng a little confused. He was ecstatic at first. He called the vassal state and the vassal state were two concepts. The so-called vassal state was the imperial court's contempt for the royal family. After all, the royal family was
The royal family, so the court wanted to give them status and benefits, so they were granted a title to a certain place and appointed as a vassal king. There are two types of vassal kings, which seem to be kings on the surface, but in fact, there are many things.
For example, in the fiefdom, everyone must listen to you on the surface, but the people who govern your vassal states were appointed by the court, that is, these officials must be transferred to anything, whether it is military,
Is it government affairs or financial power? Although it is your prince or prince in name, it is actually controlled by the court. The only use of your vassal king is to live a life of scattered life and wait for death. After the officials of the court collect taxes, they will
Part of it was handed over to the treasury, and the other part was scooped out and sent to the royal palace. As for the royal palace to recruit soldiers, it was strictly monitored. There were factory guards all over the world. Do you want to commit suicide? It was because of the cunning and cunning King Ning.
It is just a way to secretly enhance one's own strength by raising thieves, not to mention other vassal kings.
So this king is named as a vassal king. In fact, it is just a title from the court. But it is different to call a vassal. The latter has a title, which means that this is given to you by the emperor, but the former is more proactive, so it is so
It is called title, that is, you have your own land and your own subjects, and the court only recognizes it in this matter, recognizes your status as the lord, and establishes a tribute system.
The biggest benefit of such a vassal state is that within the territory that the court recognizes, everything is decided by you, the appointment and removal of officials and the collection of taxes, and the obligations the court wants you to fulfill is just to pay tribute on time.
.
This is the real vassal king, and he really belongs to the local emperor. No matter what Liu Chengfeng does in Chu, no one in the court would criticize him. He would do whatever he wants and make his own territory.
This can be considered a very generous reward. Liu Chengfeng is not surprised. Logically speaking, he is also a duke in the court, and he is as chaotic as a fish in water. If the court asked him to be the King of Zhen La or the King of Luzon, Liu Chengfeng might not be able to be the King of Liu Chengfeng.
I am happy. After all, those places are places where birds do not lay eggs. It is also hard to endure it when you go there, and it is meaningless.
But the place in Lianzhou is different. Although Lianzhou is small, its population is not smaller than that of Annan. Moreover, more and more people will pour in in the future. It is also extremely rich. In addition, there are many merchants in Lianzhou and countless workers.
The yard, port, and fleet are supported, and they are definitely worthy of the vassals there.
Liu Chengfeng has always been like this and is not very restrained. He is just in the court. How could he be without being restrained? He has done many things, and everything is bound by others, no matter what he does.
Some people objected, and they often tried their best to push things forward, but now... Liu Chengfeng could already feel that God gave him an incomparable opportunity.
However, the surprise was the surprise. When the surprise came, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but wonder how the palace had an idea. He had long understood that the emperor was seriously ill now. According to the emperor's idea, he should stay in the capital to assist the prince.
Once he was called a vassal, he would not be able to stay in the capital again. Liu Chengfeng suddenly realized that there must be a behind-the-scenes pusher for all this. Some people want to lure the tiger away from the mountain and let themselves roll farther away. The farther away from the capital, the better.
Without himself, there was no check or balance among the regent ministers, and these people were already eager to take over the power.
Liu Chengfeng's face gradually became a little cold. If the pie that fell from the sky involved a conspiracy, it greatly reduced Liu Chengfeng's surprise. On the surface, he seemed to have taken advantage of it, but those behind the scenes were not the ones.
Also taking advantage? Liu Chengfeng lost the authority of the Ming Dynasty and obtained a vassal state. Without giving anything, they were already at their fingertips to find the supreme artifact.
But……
However, the imperial edict has been issued, and you have no joke. Even if Liu Chengfeng refuses to accept it now, it will be difficult to collect the water.
Only then did Liu Chengfeng understand why this imperial edict was sent overnight, and he was not willing to wait for such a little time. Some people were afraid of long nights and dreams, and fearing that some changes would arise.
"The water in the capital is so deep..." Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly and rubbed his temples. Although it was hard to suppress the rebellion, there were no such restrictions or conspiracy, which made Liu Chengfeng feel relaxed. However, in the capital, he was in the capital.
In this muddy water, Liu Chengfeng felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.
"Maybe...it's time to retreat...it's just...will these people agree?"
