Zhu Youting's arrangement was naturally not available. In this impeccable arrangement, Liu Chengfeng obviously occupied the most important position, but something went wrong, so Zhu Youting smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a pity."
The court was in a state of great conspiracy, but the final result was that the cabinet asked me to entrust you as a vassal king. I didn't want to agree, but after hesitating, he still nodded in a strange way."
When talking about this, Zhu Youzhang seemed a little regretful. Sometimes it was not the emperor who could decide everything. The ministers decided to make trouble like moths and fire, and the palace could only compromise.
However, the expression on Zhu Youting's face seemed to be telling Liu Chengfeng that the reason he made concessions was not because the ministers made a fuss, but because of Liu Chengfeng himself, a very powerful minister.
Although the ministers are prominent, they are still worried after all. Liu Chengfeng has already made too many marks in the current Ming Dynasty. Not to mention Zhu Houzhao, what if it is in the future? If another new monarch ascends the throne in the future, he wants to establish authority.
The first person to use to sacrifice the flag was Liu Chengfeng. Which minister in this world has a good ending?
Zhu Youzhang made compromises to all officials because he did this. In fact, it was not only because the ministers were making trouble, nor was it just because the cabinet strongly agreed. The fundamental reason was this.
Zhu Youzhang sighed, and saw Liu Chengfeng silently, gasping for breath: "Now that you have ordered you to be a vassal king, according to the rules of the court, you are only stationed in Beijing now and will not stay for long.
I have to go back and be a vassal, and my plan is probably going to be empty."
As Zhu Youzhi said, things have returned to the starting point. Since Liu Chengfeng is gone, the funeral arranged by Zhu Youzhi is waiting for nothing, which is why Zhu Youzhi sighs.
Liu Chengfeng hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty. The prince is smart. In fact, even if there are fewer ministers in the capital, it is no big deal. If the prince really ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely be a good emperor like the emperor. Why does Your Majesty need to do so long-term
Intend?"
"I hope this is the case." Zhu Youzhang's answer seemed a little cold. He knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament. Zhu Houzhao would never be a diligent emperor. It would be a blessing to be a master of success. No matter how extravagant you wish,
Zhu Youzhang didn't dare to think too much. That's why Zhu Youzhang said the word "hope", which means to express his worries.
Zhu Youzhang continued: "But now we can only look at his luck. I have been in power for fifteen years, and the world is still peaceful and the treasury has surplus. These are all left to him by me. Even if he makes trouble sometimes, he will not
What big happens? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I have already thought about it when I issued an order to decree you. Now, these are futile."
Zhu Youting's face became solemn again, and he said, "But I have a few questions to ask you, if you go to Chu, how can you govern the country?"
Liu Chengfeng was confused and didn't know why Zhu Youzhang asked, but Zhu Youzhang wanted to ask, and Liu Chengfeng could not be simple and slow. After thinking about it, he said, "That place is now rich and merchants gathered. In the past, Lianzhou was
The imperial court's half of the money bag was paid to the treasury every year and tens of millions of taels of silver. Now it is called a vassal, and the weak ministers went there and continued their governance methods. However, the original taxes of the imperial court could be changed to annually.
The tribute escorts into the court. The eminent minister is the emperor's minister today. Even if he is called a vassal, he will still be the prince's minister tomorrow. The etiquette of the monarch and the Ming Dynasty is not aware of it. Therefore, the system of Chu State and the Ming Dynasty is called vassal tribute, but the name of Chu is the land name.
As a vassal state, it is actually the southern border of the Ming Dynasty, which is close to the South Ocean. If Your Majesty does not abandon you, I am willing to garrison the southern border for the court."
Liu Chengfeng said so much, and the central idea is one meaning. Although the name has changed, the essence is still the same. He started his business in the palace. Now that the palace ordered him to be a vassal king, then his vassal state will definitely
It is closer to the court than other vassal states. Liu Chengfeng shares weal and woe with the court, so for each country, Chu may not be different from them. For the court, Chu is a foreign country, but in the opposite palace
To put it, everyone is their own people, and they are in the same spirit.
Zhu Youzhang said with a slight head, "If... what I said is, what if there was a chaos in the Ming Dynasty one day? What I mean is that if there was a thick illumination of chaos, what should you do?"
This question seemed to have a sense of temptation, which made Liu Chengfeng secretly cheer up. Obviously, his next answer was very important. Whether it was for the emperor or himself, he was silent for a moment and said, "If the prince comes out, if the prince is out, he will be silent for a moment.
In the chaos, I am willing to go to Beijing to support the prince at any time."
Zhu Youzhe smiled and then said, "But what if there are treacherous ministers who don't let you go to Beijing?"
This question made Liu Chengfeng tremble in his heart. Zhu Youting's question made Liu Chengfeng feel as if he was digging a trap, waiting for Liu Chengfeng to jump into the trap. The emperor had a mess and the treacherous ministers refused to let Liu.
Riding the wind into Beijing is an unsolvable question, but it is not unsolvable. There are still answers, but this answer is a bit rude, and it may kill people if you say it.
Liu Chengfeng was thinking whether he needed an answer or not. If he answered, he might take risks. But if he didn't answer, the emperor would probably not be able to pass it. After a moment of silence, Liu Chengfeng said seriously: "Your Majesty, if the court really came out.
The treacherous minister is about to overthrow the country, so I am willing to calm the thieves! The prince and the prince are called kings and ministers, but they are actually brothers. If brothers are in trouble, how can I sit idly by? I am willing to follow Duke Zhou and never refuse to die."
After Liu Chengfeng finished saying this, his intestines were about to regret it. These words were really a bit ruthless. There was no precedent for Jingnan to suppress the thieves. The banner of King Yan's rebellion was Jingnan, and the banner of King Ning's rebellion was also Jing.
It’s hard, I’m asking for trouble now. Isn’t this a shot by myself? But obviously, Liu Chengfeng still said it without hesitation because he was betting that he was right this time!
Zhu Youzhang narrowed his eyes, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a smile, then smiled and said, "Well, I understand."
He just said briefly, and did not say good or bad. He then said, "This time you have made great contributions to suppress the rebellion, and you have made great contributions. I will reward all the soldiers of the expedition. You have planned a
Let me show you the list, OK, I am tired, you go down, and wait for the imperial edict after returning home. If I am better, I will summon you into the palace."
Liu Chengfeng squeezed a cold sweat in his hand, but pretended to be normal, nodded and said, "Then your Majesty must take good care of yourself, and I will leave."
Liu Chengfeng left in a few steps. After Zhu Youting watched his back disappear, his face became very serious, as if he was thinking about something. Then he raised his eyes and looked at the eunuch and waitress in front of the couch, coughed and said, "You guys too."
If you go down, there is no need to serve here for the time being."
The people from the palace saluted one after another and came out one after another.
Zhu Youting sat on the couch and was stunned for a while. After a moment, light footsteps came out. Queen Zhang came in with a tired look on her face and forced a smile: "I heard that Your Majesty sent all the palace servants out of the bedroom.
I thought something had happened, why, did your Majesty be better? You need to rest more, look at you, leaning on the pillow, or lying down."
Zhu Youtang did not move at all. When Queen Zhang approached and sat on the couch, he stretched out his hand and held it on Queen Zhang's soft horn, but his eyes were staring at the tent in front of him and staring at the void in a daze.
daze.
"I just summoned Liu Chengfeng to ask."
Zhu Youzhang finally opened up.
Empress Zhang carefully took down her pillow for Zhu Youtang, and asked Zhu Youtang to lie down flat, and smiled and said, "I know, I have actually summoned him to ask him just now. This time he went to Jiangxi to lose weight.
It is difficult for him to run thousands of miles away, leading troops and fighting. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Youzhang glanced at Queen Zhang and finally showed a little smile, but this smile seemed a little reluctant on his sick face. Zhu Youzhang said: "I just tried him, I want to know... I want to know he is right.
I am really devoted to the prince? You know, I am the emperor, especially at this time, hey... this is also helpless. Everything must be foolproof."
Empress Zhang was about to tuck a quilt for Zhu Youtang, but after hearing Zhu Youtang's words, a hint of stiffness flashed across her face, and then asked, "Your Majesty... How did your Majesty test?"
When asked this, Queen Zhang seemed a little nervous. No matter what, Liu Chengfeng is the most trustworthy person in addition to the prince. If such a person is suspicious of any problem, then
Who else can believe in this world?
Zhu Youzhang sighed and said, "I ask him, if the prince has a chaos and the world is in chaos, what would he do if there is a treacherous minister in the court?"
Queen Zhang didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
Zhu Youzhang smiled and said, "So he replied that he would go to Beijing immediately and would never hesitate. So I asked him again, what if someone did not allow him to enter Beijing?"
Queen Zhang said, "How do he answer?"
Zhu Youzhang said weakly: "He...he said...he said he would like to calm the thieves and to support the country..."
Hearing the word Jingnan, Empress Zhang couldn't help but yell. In fact, the word Jingnan was still good when he was Taizu, but since the King of Yan came out, although Jingnan was a compliment on the official side, who was in private?
Everyone knows that the so-called Jingnan requires a military rebellion.
When he arrived at King Ning, Jingnan became a joke and a special word for ambitious princes.
