Chongzhen Chat Group

The war in Japan continued, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, he had returned to the capital and met with Gushi Khan's envoy Bileg.

In the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Chongzhen sits on the throne, with hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides. Bileg respectfully knelt before the emperor in accordance with the etiquette, and after formally presenting the list of tributes, he said: "The small country would like to regard the Ming Dynasty as its suzerain, and the small country would like to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty forever. This is the certificate of credence. Please read it to His Majesty the Emperor!"

When the chamberlain in front of the throne saw it, he wanted to go down and forward the credentials to the emperor.

The civil and military officials beside him all had smiles on their faces. Being able to witness this with one's own eyes shows how powerful the Ming Dynasty is. On the other hand, it also shows that they have served as officials with merit. Let’s create a prosperous world together and be prosperous together!

But no one expected that Emperor Chongzhen said at this time: "Qinghai and Tibet, in our Ming Dynasty, used to be the Uzang Xuanwei Department and the Duogansi Xuanwei Department. Go back and tell Gushi Khan what I mean. , now it can only be the Xuanwei Division. If he doesn't agree, that's no problem, I will send troops to Qinghai in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Jinluan Hall fell silent. Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at Emperor Chongzhen without speaking. They didn't expect that the emperor would be more demanding.

But when I think about it, it seems reasonable. Today's Ming Dynasty is far stronger than at any other time. Since it was possible to be the Secretary of Xuanwei in the past, why not now? It doesn’t make sense!

A vassal state is a vassal state, and the Xuanwei Division is the Xuanwei Division. These two concepts are different.

To put it simply, a vassal state is also a country, and Xuanweisi, in popular terms, is a chieftain. There are many toasts in Yunnan, but Yunnan is the Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty. Japan and Korea were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty in the past, but they were not the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Bileg heard that the emperor's words contained strong confidence and a very direct threat. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart, but so what? Gushi Khan knew how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, so he had to take the initiative to surrender. Is it possible to have a quarrel with Daming now? This obviously goes against Gushi Khan’s intention!

Thinking like this, he had no choice but to surrender, lowered his head and responded, saying that he would definitely convey the Ming Emperor's intention back.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said to him: "It's not easy to come to the capital from far away. It just so happens that Lord Heshuote also misses Gushi Khan. You might as well go and see Lord Heshuote."

Heshuote Gong is Eqirtu, the nephew of Gushi Khan. He was originally the Khan of the Heshuote tribe. Now he has settled in the capital.

When Bileg came to the capital, he naturally wanted to visit Oqiltu, but he had actually hit a wall before. When Oqiltu was angry and the tribe was in danger, Gushi Khan did not send troops to rescue him. In addition, he didn't know the emperor's attitude towards Gushi Khan, and he didn't want to see him in order to avoid suspicion.

After receiving the emperor's order at this time, Bileg was relieved. In this way, he would not be turned away again when he visited Eqirtu.

At this moment in the palace, Wang Chengen came to the Heshuote Palace according to the order.

Although Oqiltu has a special status, he doesn't have to be afraid of factory guards. However, the name of the factory guard was there, and the factory owner came to the door in person, but he still warmly welcomed Wang Chengen in.

After Wang Chengen exchanged a few polite words with Eqirtu, he said to him straight to the point: "The Emperor heard that you didn't want to see Gushi Khan's envoy, so he asked our family to come here to persuade you. After all, you are uncles and nephews. It’s necessary. Things in the past are in the past, so there’s no need to worry about it anymore…”

After hearing this, Eqirtu lowered his head and said nothing, but in his heart he remembered the despair he felt when he was hiding in the Tianshan Mountains and heard that Uncle Khan refused to rescue. So many people in the clan have died, but Uncle Khan is indifferent, which is really chilling!

Wang Chengen was not angry when he saw his appearance, and continued: "It's a rare time to come here, treat him well, and show him the Ming Dynasty today. Otherwise, it will not be the way we treat guests in the Ming Dynasty. If people who don't know hear about it, You didn’t see Gushi Khan’s envoy and thought it was because of the emperor’s disapproval. This is not good!”

Speaking of this, Eqirtu could no longer remain silent and said gratefully: "Please also ask the factory owner to reply to the emperor. Weichen is very grateful that the emperor is still thinking about Weichen's family affairs despite his busy schedule. Weichen knows What to do!”

"That's good!" After hearing this, Wang Chengen nodded with satisfaction and said: "No matter what, you are now the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and you must reflect our Ming Dynasty's mind no matter what, right?"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Okay, we still have things to do at home, so we'll leave first!"

Upon hearing this, Eqirtu hurriedly sent him out. Watching Wang Chengen ride away with his servants. He looked in the direction of the palace from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The emperor was so sincere to him that he had nothing to say.

In the past, we would open the Beijing Camp and let ourselves train there. Moreover, when the flintlock weapons and other important military weapons first came out, they were generously sold to themselves to strengthen their tribe. It's just a pity that I didn't expect that Tsarist Russia and the various ethnic groups in Mobei would join forces to attack them secretly. Hearing that he was in trouble, he immediately dispatched the army to rescue him. This is beyond words!

Now, after hearing that the relationship between him and his uncle was not good, he sent Admiral Dongchang to come over and try to reconcile. It is really worth it to meet such a wise man who treats me so well in this life!

With this thought in mind, Eqirtu decided. No matter how many opinions you have about Uncle Khan in your heart, since the messenger is here, let’s treat him well!

By the time Wang Chengen returned to the palace to deliver the decree, Emperor Chongzhen had already gone to court. When he heard his return, he smiled and expressed his understanding.

I believe that under the introduction and influence of Eqirtu, the envoy of Gushi Khan will definitely have a clear understanding of the power of the Ming Dynasty. Na Gushi Khan is a smart man and should accept his request from the Xuanwei Division.

Qinghai and Tibet are plateaus lacking in materials, and Ming Dynasty does not have the energy to develop and utilize them now. It belongs to the Ming Dynasty in name only, which is enough. When science and technology truly develops in the future, we can talk about the transformation of Qinghai and Tibet into their native lands and truly bring them under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could add some information, so he told Wang Chengen: "Now the war situation in Japan can be spread in the capital, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can be happy!"

Wang Chengen was in the chat group, so he naturally knew how the Japanese war was going, so he immediately responded: "It's all thanks to your majesty's strategizing that we can win the battle thousands of miles away! It's really the blessing of our Ming Dynasty!"

As a result, in the next few days, rumors about the war situation in Japan spread in the capital.

"Have you heard? Now our Ming army has defeated most of the Japanese kingdom! In just over a month, it's really amazing!"

"Yeah, I think back then, a dozen or so Japanese pirates could fight their way from the sea to Yingtian Mansion. But now, it's really unimaginable!"

"Actually, it's nothing. Your Majesty is so wise and powerful. Our Ming Dynasty's national power is booming. We just defeated the Japanese country. I had expected it!"

"Indeed, it is true. How many places have we conquered in the Ming Dynasty that we have never conquered before? I count them, Hetao, Mobei, Tianshan, Nanyang countries, Dongwu, Bengal...ah, I can't even count them. Got it!"

"..."

All the people of Ming Dynasty are talking about this, and everyone is full of pride. Most of their conversations were heard by Bileg, who was accompanied by Eqirtu. To be honest, Bileg was shocked by what he heard in the streets. It was really hard for him to imagine that Ming Dynasty was so powerful.

For this reason, he even secretly asked Eqirtu for confirmation. As a result, without exception, Eqirtu also proved that what these people discussed was true. After all, this god is the truth and he is not lying!

At this time, Bileg suddenly understood why the Ming Emperor was so confident and not afraid of his own disobedience.

Daming is invincible!

A few days later, he remembered what he saw and heard and hurriedly set out on his way back.

Time soon arrived in mid-September of the ninth year of Chongzhen. At this time, the mines laid by Emperor Chongzhen during his incognito southern tour at the beginning of the year began to detonate.

Led by Chen Shigong, a famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River, he united with famous doctors from all provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to publicly submit a letter to the imperial court and march north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The momentum was huge.

Along the way, they made great efforts. Everywhere they went, they would visit famous local doctors, publicize the contents of their petition, and invite famous local doctors to sign the petition together.

And the content of this letter would spread everywhere, surprising all the people of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the content of this letter somewhat subverts their understanding and habits.

For example, this public petition stated that the Ming Dynasty should stipulate the minimum age for men and women to get married. Men should not be younger than nineteen years old, and women should not be younger than eighteen years old. It should be written into the Ming Dynasty laws, and violators should be punished. There are many reasons. It is said that men and women of this age are considered adults. This will not only help the next generation of children to be smarter, healthier, and less likely to die prematurely, but also reduce the risk of dystocia for women when giving birth.

Also, talking about internal diseases of the human body, especially acute ones, is mostly difficult to do now. Therefore, these famous doctors suggested that under the premise of the deceased's consent, the body can be dissected to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment, so that the unique skills of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo can be revived in the world, and contribute to curing more people's diseases in the future.

…

The suggestions put forward from a medical perspective surprised the people of Ming Dynasty who heard them. Some things have been done like this for many years, but suddenly, someone said, this is wrong! At first, they scorned it, but later they heard that it was proposed by a famous doctor, and they became a little skeptical. But more people question the medical skills of the so-called famous doctors. However, as more and more famous doctors signed the petition together, they had to wonder if they were wrong before!

In addition, there is a strange phenomenon that also surprised the people of Ming Dynasty.

Even Chen Shigong and others, wherever they go and visit famous local doctors, they always get approval and signatures from famous local doctors. This means that the contents of this public petition are true in the eyes of many famous doctors in the Ming Dynasty!

This way, it becomes more convincing. Many people in the Ming Dynasty changed their positions and opinions one after another and began to agree with the content of the petition.

They actually didn't know that before Chen Shigong and the others went to visit the local famous doctors, the factory guards had actually quietly "visited" those famous doctors first. Under coercion and inducement, no famous doctor dared to risk the survival of his family by holding different opinions. Of course, the bigger reason is that doctors are doctors after all, and many of them have some understanding of the contents of the petition.

That's it, all the way to the capital.

As a result, there was another stir in the capital. The original topic of Japan has become a bit faded. Now that we encounter something that involves everyone's vital interests, we naturally pay more attention to it.

Against this background, Emperor Chongzhen decided to hold a court meeting and meet with representatives of famous doctors to discuss the matter openly.

To be honest, Chen Shigong, as the leader, wants to go to the palace to meet the king. In his life, he never thought that such a day would come. The mood was quite exciting, which made the eldest son who followed him very worried about his health. After all, he was already eighty-two years old. Advise him to take a good rest, his health is important.

But Chen Shigong didn't care, because he knew that if he met the emperor tomorrow, he would definitely get the emperor's permission. Because the young man from Jinyiwei had promised him. Moreover, there were factory guards who appeared along the way to protect him. If the emperor did not agree to this matter in advance, how could he possibly advise him to do it and still have it go so smoothly along the way!

"Tomorrow is the day when your father and I will leave our names in history. At least in the history of medicine, there will be records. Do you think it is possible for your father not to be excited?" Chen Shigong said to his son.

Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving pictures to illuminate history, but this is the case!

For some reason, Mr. Chen Shigong was so excited that although he went to bed very late, he woke up very energetic the next morning. After leaving the inn, he could see the people from the capital who had heard the news. No matter what they were talking about, the old man held his head high and walked toward the Forbidden City with great pride.

How many people of the Ming Dynasty can enter the Forbidden City? How many people can be summoned by the emperor? Now, Chen Shigong wanted to write a letter to the emperor stating his views in front of all civil and military officials. This was what he was thinking when he saw the majestic Forbidden City.

As for the etiquette of the audience, the officials of Honglu Temple have explained it in advance.

Under the guidance of the chamberlain, after entering the main hall with his head lowered, he did not dare to look around. He held the memorial in both hands and knelt down to pay homage to the emperor: "Chen Shigong, a common man, bows to the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

From the corner of his eyes, Chen Shigong looked at his feet on both sides. He knew that all the civil and military officials were looking at him at this moment, and he was constantly excited in his heart.

Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from above and said: "You are an elder, please sit down!"

Hey, why does this voice sound so familiar? Chen Shigong thought a little puzzled, then subconsciously looked up and heard the sound.

Thanks to anniexie for the 500 starting coin reward, and thank you to humorson for the reward!
