Chongzhen Chat Group

For general memorials, the cabinet gives opinions on how to deal with them and the Supervisor of Ceremonies approves them. It must be a more important matter for the Supervisor of Ceremonies to have the eunuch take the memorial and submit it to the emperor in person. Both the Cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies must The kind who can't make the decision.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little curious. He looked at Cao Huachun and listened to his memorial: "Your Majesty, Tang Shisun has been detained without any treatment since he was escorted to Beijing. Now another censor has handed over a memorial. The cabinet believes that the time should not be delayed too long, so it was given Please let Your Majesty decide on the handling suggestions!”

This can be said to be an internal matter of the royal family, and it is really difficult for foreign ministers to make a decision. Moreover, whether Zhu Yujian's matter is big or small depends entirely on Emperor Chongzhen's wishes.

Regarding this Zhu Yujian, Emperor Chongzhen had sent him a book before, asking him to learn some methods of dealing with the national economy and people's livelihood. He probably had an idea of ​​its usefulness. He was just worried about Liaodong and North Korea, so he didn't deal with it. After hearing this, he started to read.

In this new imperial censor's memorial to impeach Zhu Yujian, there are the handling opinions personally written by Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet. The general idea is that Tang Shisun knew the court regulations, but still led the army in violation of regulations, trying to take over military power and leave the fiefdom. For such a serious crime, the grandson's position should be deposed, the land granted to him should be taken away, and he should be sent to Fengyang to guard the imperial mausoleum.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he immediately saw the point. He remembered that he and Wen Tiren had talked about the tax-free fields. In particular, the number of land grants from feudal lords was so large that it affected the payment of land taxes. When Wen Tiren wrote this, he obviously had the idea of ​​taking back some of the gifted land if he could take back some of the gifted land. This is not much different from the method he proposed to himself before.

Of course, as a minister, he gave such a disposal suggestion, which naturally cannot be the final decision. Even the Chief of Ceremony would not dare to deal with this kind of matter involving the vassal king alone. He would definitely come to the emperor. If the emperor can reduce his crime, it will be a favor from above. If the emperor does not want to reduce the crime, then Wen Tiren will bear the blame. To do so was to practice what he had said before in front of Emperor Chongzhen: to devote himself wholeheartedly to death!

After Emperor Chongzhen read it, he did not immediately make a conclusion. For him, a fake emperor who traveled from later generations, he basically had no sense of royal family ties. As for the royal face, compared with ZTE and the Ming Dynasty, it goes without saying which one is more important. If he could legitimately take back all the tax-free land grants that had been given to many vassal kings, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely do it without hesitation.

Therefore, Wen Tiren's suggestion was still tempting to Emperor Chongzhen. However, he had some thoughts before, so he weighed them in his mind, suddenly raised his head and looked at Cao Huachun, who was standing there respectfully, and said, "Big companion, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, royal matters can only be decided by the Holy Will." Cao Huachun replied with his head lowered.

Emperor Chongzhen knew this kind of thing. It was useless to ask others. He just asked casually. The situation on the grassland is still unclear. It would be unrealistic to conclude that Zhu Yujian should be crowned king in the grassland now.

I thought about it left and right, but couldn't make up my mind for a while. Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group to see if there was any information.

Gao Yingyuan had a private chat, saying that he had been ordered to join Lu Xiangsheng's Dongjiang Cavalry and was setting out for the capital. In addition, there was a private message from Liu Jinsheng, reporting the war of words going on over there with Annan.

There were no more private chats. When Emperor Chongzhen was about to quit, he saw someone in the public chat area scrolling: "Is the group leader here? There is important news. Please help contact the court. The news is absolutely true!"

I swiped three messages in a row, and then there was a system ban prompt.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the person who refreshed the screen, named Ba Dengding, he felt a little strange. But after thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that Ba Dengding was from Mubang, and he had been in the group trying to get Ming to support justice.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little strange that he had something important to do and he wanted to swipe the screen to attract attention. Recalling that Hai Lanzhu had to use screen swiping to contact him before, it seemed that he still needed to pay attention to this.

With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen first chatted privately with Liu Xingzuo, Wen Tiren and Wei Mulan, asking them to pay attention. If someone swiped the screen, remember to remind themselves to avoid not seeing it and missing important things.

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen chatted privately with Ba Dengding and asked, "What do you want from me?"

After waiting for a while, Ba Dengding replied in a private message: "Group leader, the envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty to Dongwu was killed by the leader of the Dongwu Kingdom. He also threatened that with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, he was worthy of being the suzerain of Dongwu. , don’t even think about it!”

"What?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately became angry and confirmed again, "Kill me, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and still tell lies?"

In fact, Dongwu had previously taken over the Mu State that nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and even invaded Yunnan three times. This was expressed with practical actions. Dongwu did not pay attention to the Ming Dynasty at all, let alone recognize the suzerain state.

"This is absolutely true. Anyone here knows it." Badending answered again without hesitation.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen replied "I understand" and then seriously considered the issue.

Previously, envoys were sent to the Southeast Asian countries to ask them to pay tribute of grain. Now only Annan has received a response. And it was only because they asked for help from the Ming Dynasty that they gave them food. As for other Southeast Asian countries, they have not responded yet. Some of it is indeed because the distance is a bit far, but some of them are probably just dilly-dallying, depending on the direction of the wind, right?

This Dong Wu actually openly killed the Ming envoys and threatened to shout, which was definitely a blow to the Ming's prestige in the Southeast Asian countries. This kind of thing absolutely cannot be tolerated!

When they annexed Mubang before, they should have fought back immediately. Now it seems that the leader of the Dongwu Kingdom wants to become king and hegemony, and wants to use the Ming Dynasty as a stepping stone to achieve its dominance in Southeast Asia, right?

With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen immediately chatted with Liu Jinsheng privately and ordered him: "Send an order to Xu Guangqi to investigate the details of Dongwu's country as soon as possible and confirm the attitude of the leader of Dongwu towards the Ming Dynasty and whether there is any intention to kill the envoy of the Ming Dynasty."

After receiving the reply, Emperor Chongzhen immediately chatted with Ba Dengding privately and asked: "Do you know the mountains, rivers, terrain and various forces in Dongwu?"

"I'm from Mubang, of course I understand, but I'm not very clear about the south side of Dongwu." Badending felt happy after hearing this, and quickly replied, "I wonder what the leader of the group is asking this for?"

"You don't have to worry about what you want to do!" Emperor Chongzhen ordered him. "Write down what you know as much as possible, and then go to Kunming, Yunnan, to wait for the arrival of the imperial envoy."
