Because these countries will not rest assured and take it seriously just because Ming Dynasty said that they will not take a fancy to your land. They must be thinking, what if the Ming Dynasty wants to seize the vassal king one day? With this kind of thinking in mind, as long as there is a little instigation from a caring person, there will be a desire to deal with the Ming Dynasty together.

The current strength of the Ming Dynasty is not strong enough to defeat all surrounding countries one by one with the power of one country. The next focus of the Ming Dynasty is to destroy the rebels in Liaodong first and recover Liaodong.

However, the vassal king's feudal overseas affairs could not stop. Now I just found an excuse to change the title of King Tang to Dongwu. The next thing to do is to find a different type of vassal king to change the title. Unknowingly, the influence of this matter has been expanded. In the future, when the country is strong enough, it will not be abrupt and there will be fewer people to oppose it if the national policy of all feudal kings is formally proposed overseas.

With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen sent an edict to the young rich man to come to Beijing to meet the emperor.

The reason why he is called a little rich man does not mean that he is young. On the contrary, he is at least twice as old as Emperor Chongzhen. His smallness is mainly reflected in his wealth. The enfeoffment period was too short. When the vassal was established, no matter how much property was given, it would not be more than what the vassal king had accumulated over hundreds of years.

This little local tycoon was Emperor Chongzhen's uncle, Zhu Changxun, the Tang king who vassed Luoyang. I think back then, he was also a figure in the Ming Dynasty. The dispute over the country had been going on for more than ten years and was one of the three major cases in Wanli. He almost became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, although he did not win the throne of emperor, he became a winner in other aspects. The emperor died, and the emperor's son died again. He is still alive, has no worries about life, and lives happily every day.

When he received the order to enter the capital, he felt uneasy again. To be honest, he was a little scared about the young emperor and his nephew.

When the good-for-nothing brother became the emperor, he was not convinced, and he was unwilling to lose the throne in the end. Later, when the carpenter nephew became the emperor, he was more interested in watching the excitement, and was not interested in the commotion in various places in the Ming Dynasty. There is a feeling of gloating about things happening. Especially for those civil servants, you were asked to fight for the throne for them back then. Well, now, what kind of emperor are you? They also introduced a eunuch who sat on your heads and pooped and peed, making the Ming Dynasty a mess. You deserve it!

When Emperor Tianqi died suddenly and Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, King Fu was even thinking that each and every member of his family would have to die a good death. This was retribution. Maybe, this little nephew will also die a bad death!

Although in the original history, it was indeed not a good death. But in this plane, Emperor Chongzhen did incredible things one after another, and when he achieved shocking achievements one after another, King Fu became afraid.

There is no doubt that Emperor Chongzhen was a British master, and the Ming Dynasty flourished in his hands. Such a promising young emperor must be powerful. Will he settle old scores from back then? This seems hard to say!

In his opinion, the more powerful the emperor was, the harsher he was to others. He has been keeping his word for a long time, and if one day he thinks of venting his anger for his father, he will be in big trouble.

When he heard about King Tang's affairs before, King Fu couldn't figure it out. Logically speaking, if the nephew emperor is so powerful, he should hold on to his power, right? But why was the King of Tang able to feudalize Dongwu and also hold military and political power? How is this any different from being an emperor?

Before he could come up with anything, the local magistrate accompanied Jin Yiwei to the door and asked him to go to Beijing to face the saint. After the vassal king became a vassal, there were very few cases where he went to Beijing to meet the saint. Prince Fu thought a lot and worried a lot along the way. Even when he saw Emperor Chongzhen who was smiling at him in the Forbidden City, he didn't let go.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the pot-bellied King Fu and remembered the news from the local newspaper. This uncle drank wine behind closed doors all day long and loved only women, singing and dancing. From the looks of it, it seems to be true. You are a bit old now, so you don’t have any ideas anymore, right?

With this in mind, he turned around and looked at Zhu Yousong, the crown prince below King Fu. Although he was a fat man, he was a young fat man. Emperor Chongzhen still knew something about him. In the original history, he had some bad luck and was supported as emperor, but he only served as emperor for about a year, and then he was killed by the Manchus. This, maybe it can be a little passionate, right?

After saying the polite words, Emperor Chongzhen stopped talking and asked King Fu directly: "I must know everything about Dongwu! I recently received news that King Tang has arrived in Ava, which is the richest area in Dongwu. .The army is currently resting and recuperating. After a while, it will continue to move south and capture the entire territory of Dongwu..."

As he spoke, he paid attention to their expressions. King Fu's expression remained unchanged and seemed indifferent, but Zhu Yousong, who was in his twenties, showed a look of envy on his face. Although Emperor Chongzhen looked over, he had no trace of envy. The envious look disappeared immediately, but he was still seen.

Emperor Chongzhen remained calm and continued to tell them: "... By the way, the King of Tang has decided that his vassal palace will be located in Ava, which is Dongwu... oh no, the richest area in the Tang Kingdom."

After he finished speaking, King Fu remained expressionless and didn't speak, as if he was just listening attentively. Zhu Yousong seemed to want to speak but in the end he acted like a good baby.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he knew that Prince Fu was already an old fox and would not express his inner thoughts easily, so he said straight to the point: "The clan issue in our Ming Dynasty has affected the country. If it is not properly resolved, the foundation of our ancestors may not be destroyed." Guaranteed. I am not being alarmist about this. Here is some information about the specific situation..."

Having said this, he waved his hand, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was waiting beside him and the admiral of the East Factory, immediately presented the two memorials to the two fat men. While Zhu Yousong immediately reached out to pick it up, King Tang hesitated for a while before taking it.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he continued: "Therefore, I must solve the clan problem. The matter with King Tang is the solution. What does the emperor think?"

Others may not know about the feudal king's overseas affairs, but the parties involved, such as the King of Tang, have to communicate it in advance, so they have to tell it. Now that King Fu is to be feudalized overseas, this national policy must be told to them in advance.

Although King Tang remained calm on the surface, it was only when he heard this that he truly understood. He didn't even look at the memorial in his hand. He was not interested in what was in it. He was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty anyway.

At this time, he saw Emperor Chongzhen staring at him, waiting for his reply. Knowing that it was impossible not to speak, he lowered his head and said, "I don't understand anything about national affairs!"

This meant refusing to comment. After hearing this, Zhu Yousong was a little surprised and glanced at his father.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned slightly, but then relaxed. He was most annoyed by this old fox who would not express his thoughts easily. If that's the case, then let's just point it out directly.

Thinking like this, he said to the King of Tang again: "Since the emperor's uncle did not read the memorial in his hand, I can briefly say that almost every generation of our Ming Dynasty has some hereditary vassal kings. Now in the land of the Ming Dynasty, does the emperor's uncle know? How many vassal kings are there? Except for the crown prince who succeeds the vassal king, the titles of other children decrease gradually from generation to generation. But even so, there are so many clans receiving state salary. Not to mention others, the emperor's uncle alone has already Do you have five children? It has been nearly 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The royal family’s salary has been the largest expenditure of the imperial court. In recent decades, how many royal families have been living like beggars because the imperial court cannot pay salaries? This should be too great Do our descendants deserve the treatment they deserve?"

As a vassal king, he naturally knew about this situation. When he first listened to the emperor's words, it was for his country and the country, King Tang's heart did not waver at all. But when the emperor said it from a different angle, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. He looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, but he quickly lowered his head. head to go.

Zhu Yousong nodded unconsciously after hearing this. This is a fact. Many clans with a slightly distant blood relationship are worse than beggars.

"Although during the Jiajing period, there was an innovation in the clan system, which allowed clan members to make a living in distant places and take imperial examinations, how many people in my Ming clan could change their life difficulties because of this?" Emperor Chongzhen said, seeming a little emotional, and paused for a moment. After a while, he continued: "So I thought about it and finally came up with the plan of the King of Tang. The overseas land is vast. Rather than letting outsiders rule there, it is better for the clan to be the master there. Now the King of Tang has done it. I thought , for such a good thing, I always have to take care of my relatives who are closer by blood..."

At this point, the purpose was revealed, and both King Tang and Zhu Yousong couldn't help but look up at Emperor Chongzhen.

"...I have planned a place and want to give it to the emperor's uncle. He can go there like the king of Tang Dynasty and do his best to open up territory for himself and the Ming Dynasty!" Emperor Chongzhen said this and suddenly He asked in an aggravated tone, "This place is Annan. What does the emperor think?"

After hearing this, King Tang blinked a few times and squeezed out a few tears because there was too much fat on his face. I have always stayed safe in Luoyang and never exceeded my limits. I wonder why Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Gu, so he wants to exile Gu to such a barbaric place? "

After finishing speaking, he actually stood up from the stool and slowly knelt down.

His actions surprised Zhu Yousong. If there was no precedent from the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yousong would probably have the same idea as his father if he heard about this for the first time. The emperor wanted to exile them to a barbaric land. But the King of Tang really wanted to establish the Tang Kingdom in Dongwu, possess military and political power, and become a veritable vassal king. This is quite enviable for Zhu Yousong. He would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix! How majestic and majestic the King of Tang must be in the country of Tang!

Therefore, he doesn't understand my thoughts?

The King of Tang was an elder, so his kneeling was a bit heavy. Fortunately, everyone in this palace had been rejected beforehand, and Wang Chengen would not talk nonsense. Therefore, when the Tang Dynasty came to this place, Emperor Chongzhen was not too embarrassed. Instead, he felt a little disgusted. He did not help him, but just let Wang Chengen go. He helped him, while he sat there, and said in a cold voice: "Uncle, there is something wrong with his understanding. I am taking care of him, and give him such a good opportunity first. The border between Annan and Daming, Its prosperity was even more prosperous than that of the Tang Dynasty. How could such a good place lead to exile? Has the emperor ever seen someone who could establish a country there and give orders to ministers after being exiled? "

Wang Chengen had already passed by at this time, stretched out his hand to help King Fu, and at the same time whispered in King Fu's ear: "Your Highness, think twice, you will bear the consequences if you resist the order."

Although his voice could be lowered a little, it could still be heard by King Fu and even Zhu Yousong next to him. It was difficult for Emperor Chongzhen to say such a naked threat, but Wang Chengen said it without any scruples.

King Fu and Zhu Yousong were shocked when they heard this. Although Wang Chengen is young, he is the admiral of Dongchang. Last year, a big case broke out in the south. I don't know how many wealthy families were confiscated and exiled. This was one of the largest cases in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen pretended not to hear it. In fact, Wang Chengen's words were his instructions. At this time, he was still saying earnestly: "I can see that the emperor is old and doesn't want to move, so he just wants to live like this! But the prince is still young, and there are other brothers and sisters, and they What should we do? Do we really have to go on from generation to generation and end up like beggars? If the emperor doesn’t think about himself, he should think about future generations, right? "

Indeed, impulsive and passionate people basically have nothing to do with the elderly. They can only plan and calculate gains and losses. But fortunately, Zhu Yousong is a young man. After hearing that the Tang Dynasty king could establish a country in Dongwu, he felt impulsive in his heart. When I heard the emperor's words at this time, although he was the prince and did not need to worry about his title, what about his son?

Thinking like this, he looked at his father several times. When he saw that he didn't answer, he became a little anxious and annoyed the emperor. Although the emperor could not do anything to his uncle personally, Dongchang came to look for trouble and even instructed the local officials to look for trouble. , and the emperor pretended not to know, could Prince Fu's Mansion be able to resist such a thing?

King Fu also considered this situation, and he even thought that because of the previous dispute over the country's foundation, Emperor Chongzhen might have deliberately attacked himself first. If you refuse again, you may have various problems. The emperor's methods have been endless in recent years!

Thinking of this, King Fu was a little afraid to rely on his uncle's identity. After hesitating for a moment, he said with a bit of doubt: "If Prince Tang really wants to guard the borderland for His Majesty, Gu Nai is His Majesty's uncle, so it is naturally his duty to do so. !”

Emperor Chongzhen understood the implication. He turned to look at Zhu Yousong and smiled.
