Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 799 Plan
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen left the map, leaned against the back of the chair, looked at the queen and the two noble concubines and said: "I am going to seal my son to these places. I don't want my son to be confined in the In the palace, it is as stipulated by Cheng Zu. As long as they go to these two places and become vassals, I will give them the power given by Taizu back then."

Chengzu banned the clans to prevent them from rebelling and seizing the throne like himself; while Taizu's idea at that time was to let his brothers help, so that he would have soldiers and power to guard the four directions.

Hearing this, Queen Zhou, Concubine Tian and others looked at it, and they couldn't help being surprised.

On the one hand, they agree that their son does not need to be imprisoned. If he can do what Taizu allowed, he will be a real prince.However, on the other hand, knowing that their son is going to be sent to such a far away place, and they may never see him again, as mothers, they feel a little bit reluctant.

Another point, Queen Zhou's mood is a little different.Her eldest son is the crown prince, who will inherit the Ming Empire in the future.If there are brothers who hold the real power, will it turn into a brother-in-law like Chengzu one day in the future?This is also what she is very unwilling to see!
Naturally, Concubine Tian Gui would not have such worries as hers, and she was only thinking about her son, so she asked worriedly: "As Your Majesty said, these places should still be wild places. If my child goes to this place, won't he eat a lot of food?" Bitter, in case...in case something happens..."

Emperor Chongzhen knew what she wanted to express, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to stop her from speaking, and then he continued: "These places, I will send troops to take them down, as for the population over there, he needs to find a way .As long as it does not violate the laws of Ming Dynasty, any method is fine. With the population of Daming in the past as his right-hand man, and then rule the local aborigines and reform them, what will happen in the future depends on his own efforts."

If the enfeoffment passes, as the lord of a country, he still has some capital to use.As for the state policy, the king himself has the final say, he can offer preferential policies to attract people, and he can also assign official positions to attract people, etc. After all, those who are not satisfied in the Ming Dynasty, or want to go out to make a living, will go to the suzerain vassal country.

However, Concubine Tian is still a little worried, or maybe she is worried because her son has traveled thousands of miles. Although there has not been such a thing yet, as a mother, she is already worried.

"Your Majesty, what if some barbarians like those in Spain covet the Zongfan Kingdom and send troops to attack them? The Ming Dynasty is so far away and even water from afar cannot quench their thirst. What should we do? With all the primitive creations of the Zongfan Kingdom, they may not be able to defeat them. !" Concubine Tian found another point of concern and said.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Okay, I will finish everything I have imagined, lest you worry all the time, making it seem like I am not their father!"

Hearing this, Concubine Tian Gui smiled a little embarrassedly.Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan Gui also listened carefully and did not interrupt.

Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the armrest of the chair with his left hand, and said slowly: "This strategy is called feudalism. I intend to seal off my son first. At the beginning of the founding of the country, I sent troops to lay down a basic territory. How big it is depends on the ability of each vassal. If you are not capable, you should manage less, and if you are capable, you should manage more. This is what it means. The difference from domestic suzerains is..."

After a pause, he continued: "Domestic vassals must implement the policy of becoming an ancestor, and they must be descended to inherit. While enfeoffing foreign countries, they are treated like vassal states. The succession of the throne depends on the will of the Ming emperor, but the throne It will not be deprived of titles, and the vassal king has military and political power, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will not interfere in the internal affairs. The defense of the vassal state can be guarded by the army sent by the Ming Dynasty. Here I want to explain one thing..."

Speaking of this, seeing the three audiences in front of him were very concerned, Emperor Chongzhen said a little seriously: "The Ming army stationed in the vassal state only resists foreign enemies, and only listens to the emperor's will. As for the vassal state As I said just now, I will not intervene. The military expenses for the garrison of the vassal state can be borne by Daming himself in the early stage, but after 20 years after the founding of the vassal state, the vassal state will come out. The number of garrison troops depends on It depends on the size of the vassal state. In principle, no more than one hundred thousand."

At the end, Emperor Chongzhen had a smile on his face again and said: "This national policy, starting with my son, is actually a choice for my son. They can first choose a place abroad to become a vassal. Later, I will I can guarantee that there will definitely be feudal lords who don't want to be deposed, don't want to be imprisoned, and will also want to go out. At that time, whether it is choosing a place or attracting people from the country, they will not be as free as they were at first."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen stopped talking and just looked at his three women.

To be honest, what he said contained too much information, and it was related to his son's future. This made the three women, especially Queen Zhou and Concubine Tian, ​​very concerned, and carefully reviewed the emperor's words.

Emperor Chongzhen just looked at them, thinking in his heart that the empress should be the first to recover and accept this approach.After all, the most fundamental part of my own national policy is to maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty.Among the queen's sons, there is a prince.Although the prince didn't know that the year of the monkey can only be the emperor, but at least he is not the future emperor of Ming Dynasty!

However, Emperor Chongzhen was wrong.

After a while, I saw Concubine Tian raised her head, with a look of determination in her eyes, she said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think this is a good idea, let Cizhen go!"

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard it, is this mother willing?
But after just a moment, he saw that Concubine Tian seemed a little hesitant, but finally said: "Your Majesty, I am thinking... I am thinking of becoming a vassal with Ci Zheng, so that I can help him."

After that, the voice became a little quieter.When Queen Zhou heard this, she couldn't help but frowned, and said a little displeasedly: "My sister is a noble concubine, how can she follow her son into a feudal domain, this is something that has never happened in the Ming Dynasty..."

She is the empress and she is in charge of the affairs of the harem. Now that Concubine Tian Gui is in trouble, if the emperor is unhappy, even she will blame her.

When Concubine Tian heard this, her tone became firmer and she retorted: "Ci Zheng must have faced many difficulties when he went to a barbaric land to found a country. My sister, I am just a son, how can I sleep? Besides, entrusting overseas vassals, this is It is also something that has never happened in the Ming Dynasty..."

In fact, it is useless for the two of them to argue. In the final analysis, it still depends on the emperor's intention.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had come to his senses.Concubine Tian Gui is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, ritual, music, riding and shooting.And she is such a son, the most precious.Thinking of my son going to a barren land to start a business hard, of course he was reluctant.

Having said that, does the emperor have love?Maybe, like Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty.But for the vast majority of emperors, the so-called life-and-death love really didn't exist, because women came too easily for them.

As for Emperor Chongzhen, although his soul comes from later generations, he also has many women in this era.Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, there are indeed many.His mind was more focused on the goal of rejuvenating Daming and dominating the world. Therefore, there was no imperial concubine who wanted to help his son, and he was sad because he would not see the imperial concubine.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen somewhat admired Concubine Tian Gui's courage.Because generally speaking, if she dared to raise such a thing, no matter what happened in the end, she would probably lose the emperor's favor.

But in the end, Emperor Chongzhen did not express his attitude. He was neither angry nor agreed. He just said to Concubine Tian Gui with the same expression: "The young eagle has grown up and always wants to fly by itself. You want to help, but be kind." But Yan doesn't necessarily want to be controlled by others. Let's talk about this matter later!"

Hearing this, think about it carefully, it is really possible.He is not as good as he was when he was a child, he can do whatever he is asked to do. The older he is, the more rebellious he is even a prince.Concubine Tian Gui actually felt this point.

Seeing this, Empress Zhou quickly changed the subject, not wanting to continue, so she asked Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, when will this national policy be announced?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Come on, I'm waiting for someone. When that person arrives and watches his performance, I will announce this national policy."

Concubine Yuan Gui remained silent all this time. After hearing this, she finally couldn't help asking, or she wanted to change the subject, and asked Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, are you an actor? Are you going to perform some opera?"

"Haha..." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help being amused by her. He immediately shook his head and replied: "No, we, the plenipotentiary representative of the Ming brothers, will make an announcement after they send benefits."

The three women wisely did not continue to ask, because if they asked again, it would involve the affairs of the government.

They didn't say anything, but Emperor Chongzhen reminded them: "You can't spread what you said today, but you can tell Cizhang and Cijiong, let them start preparing now, and anyone who sees any talent can do it." Solicit, but be careful, don't make a big show, understand?"

After hearing this, the three women quickly agreed.

………………

In the days that followed, Emperor Chongzhen still took charge of internal affairs in person, mainly road construction.The construction of railways developed rapidly.On the Tianshan side, Hong Chengchou was not a mediocre person either. He first showed the enemy his weakness, and after attracting the troops of several countries to the Tianshan side, he defeated them in one fell swoop and captured at least [-] young men.

In August of the 23rd year of Chongzhen, these people were escorted to build a railway between Hami and Luntai.In addition, Hong Chengchou also sent troops to sweep the interior of these countries, took the opportunity to destroy them, and grabbed some labor by the way.Because he knows that his strength will be stronger only if the railway is built to the Tianshan Mountains and the relevant people can rely on it.
