Extra 3 - Zhenlei
In July of the first year of Zhengtong, Emperor Li Yanxu was appointed as Huaizong, and his posthumous title was "Emperor Xiao of Mingyi Tongren Wude, Changhua."
As the saying goes, kindness and benevolence are called love, so the orthodox emperor uses it.
But among the people, words and death from the position are the same as thoughts, and their meaning is self-evident.
After going to Luoyang, dozens of prefectures across the country had to surrender. Even the prefectures such as Jiangning, Zhejiang, and Xichuan were immediately pacified.
At this point, the Central Plains, which had been in chaos for nearly five years, have once again restored peace.
As for many years, Hebei Prefecture and Youzhou Prefecture were almost destroyed, and no less than one million displaced people were displaced.
Shandong, Jiangnan and other places, which have suffered from grain and military conscription, have experienced refugees, with household registration, losing nearly 30% and taxes cut in half.
Due to the confrontation on the banks of the Yellow River for three years, the Yellow River waters are intractable, and the dam breaks almost every month, and the grain prices in Henan Prefecture have several times.
The people are famine and the world is in trouble.
Li Yanxu knew that it was difficult, so he reduced the famine and exempted it from all places.
The money and grain of Han, Shu, Qi, Chen, Liang, and Zhao were filled with the national treasury. In just one month, they still owed officials half a year of money and grain. For a time, the people of Luoyang were in peace.
Immediately, he eliminated officials, punished corrupt officials, sacked troops, eliminated bandits, and sorted out civilian citizenship.
It was also announced that in the next year, that is, the spring of Zhengtong's second year, the Enca Examination, which had been suspended for several years, was rejoicing for a while.
In just half a year, the world's minds were settled, and Emperor Yuande had forgotten his kindness and only remembered his harsh treatment of disasters over the years.
By the third year of Zhengtong, the governments had roughly pacified, famine was alleviated, and refugees were stable.
Li Yanxu directly announced that he would abolish the Korean Peninsula, abolish the vassal states, and depose the military administration. The Korean government would govern the former Shu Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, South Korea, and Wu Kingdom.
These four vassals participated in the rebellion and committed the following crimes, which directly led to the loss of Emperor Yuande's throne, so all his royal family was deposed as commoners.
Chen Fan and Liang Fan have moved overseas and will not blame them.
The princes of the four vassals inherited the throne and did not blame him for the past.
However, the titles had no fiefs.
In other words, they can only be called lonely and widowed in Luoyang, their palace, and enjoy the emperor's surveillance.
There are more than these political offensives.
For Emperor Yuande's sons, except for the youngest son who was eight years old, the rest were all granted the title of Duke.
The youngest son, who was eight years old, was raised in the palace and was named King Xue. He promised that when he became an adult in the future, he would choose a place for him as a vassal state, and Xue Fan would continue to worship him.
Such strong political compassion made the vassal states begin to split.
The first generation of vassal kings, such as Zhongshan King, Wei King, Xu King, Cheng King, etc., were all reluctantly accepted.
The inheritance of the throne was originally from the King of Xue, but now it has been transformed into the King of Zhao. It is completely different for them. Anyway, it is not their turn to be a country.
After all, it is too far from Luoyang.
However, the five-generation vassal states after Renzong and Chunzong were completely dissatisfied.
The throne can only be in the lineage of King Xue. This is the rule set by Emperor Shizu. Even if the throne is changed, it can only be chosen among the relatives among them. How can Zhao Fan seize food?
Therefore, the Shizu was composed of 32 countries (except for the revenge), and the Renzong was composed of 30 countries, and they almost had different opinions and made a fuss.
In this regard, Li Yanxu was happy to see his achievements and vigorously won over the Shizu family and treated the Renzong family differently.
Even, in some aspects, an absolute pull-off frame is carried out.
In this way, in the ten years of orthodoxism, sparks finally lit up.
More than 20 countries on the Jufan Peninsula had a great melee.
With the support of the central government, the Shizu family won a great victory, the Renzong family's strength was greatly reduced, the soldiers and generals were lost, and the land was reduced. After the imperial court mediated, he had to surrender.
Immediately, the vassal states began to pay tribute, and the court's reputation was greatly shocked.
At this time, Prime Minister Wang Gui was shocked and hurriedly paid homage to the emperor, kowtowed and said in grief: "Your Majesty, the vassal state is hard to protect!"
Li Yanxu was quite puzzled. He was talking about his operations. When he heard the rebellious words, he couldn't help but say: "For ten years, the vassal states that have not paid tribute have now entered Luoyang in a steady stream, and the roads are blocked. The vassal system is restored. How can you say such alarmist words that are not guaranteed?"
"Your Majesty!" Wang Gui sorted out his beard and said sincerely: "Since the Emperor of Heaven, the court has maintained the vassal state, one is based on the patriarchal law, two is based on the power and virtue, three is based on the sacrifice, and four is justice."
"Now, justice has been lost, there is no succession of sacrifice, and the patriarchal law remains. Only with power and virtue, three of the four are lost, and it is hard to support it alone!"
"With his power and virtue, although it can be effective very quickly, it can only last for several years. Once the fear gradually fades, the day when the vassal states leave is not far away."
Listening to these words, Li Yanxu was shocked and no longer as proud as before. He said with a headache: "Did you teach me?"
"Your Majesty gave you the son of Huai Zong and raised King Xue in the palace, and there is already a prototype of reorganizing the sect."
Wang Gui raised his head and said seriously: "Now, we must re-do the three methods after taking advantage of our power and virtue."
"What three methods?"
"One, the sons of the vassals did not study the sect because of war for many years, and they became far away from my heart. Your Majesty must restore it. Those who do not follow it should be punished."
"For both, your Majesty's sons are mostly sixteen years old, and they can be vassals overseas and serve as pillars."
"Three, for more than a hundred years, if the lord of the vassal state has no descendants and is unable to succeed the throne, your Majesty can make a kindness and be adopted from the vassal state. This will take less than ten years to conquer the vassal states and devote all his heart to the five courts."
"Okay!!" Li Yanxu was overjoyed and clapped his hands and exclaimed: "This is really a national policy."
Then, he wondered again: "If the side branches can be inherited, how will my princes arrange it in the future?"
"Your Majesty, the world is very broad. Don't stare at the familiar lands of the vassal states. During the reign of Emperor Shizu, he worked hard and overcome all obstacles, but now he has worked much harder."
"Besides, the territory of India is vast and fertile, which is much better than the Peninsula of the Vaticans."
Wang Gui persuaded.
"Okay, just do it like this!"
Li Yanxu made up his mind.
Therefore, the three policies of vassalization were implemented throughout the world.
Soon, the vassal states were indeed excited and the hearts of the royal family gradually calmed down.
Everyone thinks that it is better to rot in your own pot.
It was not like before, the emperor wanted to keep an eye on his own vassal state so that his son could inherit it without any reason.
As a result, the world has been stable for twenty years.
However, because Zhao's country used its branches to fight for the throne, the vassal states were ready to move, especially the vassal states in the north of Mo, such as Zheng, Jing, and Shen.
Among them, Zheng State established a vassal state in the original Mogeshi tribe, with capital Anbei City, with 30,000 herdsmen. The land range was from east of Fengzhou and north of Wuzhou, with a radius of thousands of miles.
Jing State was established on the basis of the farther-off Du Ministry, namely the northern part of the Demon region, the capital of the Great North City, and the tens of thousands of herdsmen were entrusted.
Shen State was established on the basis of the Wei people in the Black Car Room. In essence, it was to assist the Liaobei Protectorate and fight against the Khitan and other barbarians, so its national strength was strong and located on the south side of Hulun Lake.
Guodu, Black Car City,
The Three Kingdoms frequently went south to provoke, and the imperial court used both suppression and appeasement, and eventually it was difficult to destroy its ambitions.
As a result, the border troubles that had disappeared for more than a hundred years appeared again.
In May of the 20th year of Zhengtong, Shang fainted in the palace. The next day, he appointed the eldest son of the emperor as King Zhao and was the governor of the country.
In July of the 25th year, King Zhao was appointed as the crown prince and the state governor.
On the seventh day of the 11th month, the emperor died in the Hall of Changsheng at the age of 65.
The temple name is Chengzu, and the posthumous title is "Emperor Shaowu, Wencheng, Zhaoming, Xiao of Emperor".
The crown prince ascended the throne and changed the next year to the first year of Tianming.
In the third year of Tianming, the Three Kingdoms invaded the border, and the Beiting Protectorate (Hetao) fell, endangering the three prefectures of Ningxia, Xiliang and Shanxi.
In the fourth year, he sent 100,000 troops to restore Hetao.
In five years, the Great Wall was rebuilt, with an annual fund of 5 million stagnants.
In the tenth year, the vassal state was established again. The emperor appointed the second son of the emperor as the king of Ding and placed it in the old Chen Kingdom (the old land of the Bohai Sea).
In the eleventh year, Jingguo was established in the land of the old Zhao Kingdom (Heishui Protectorate); Pingguo was established in the Wugu tribe, and Shenguo was placed in the side of Shenguo.
In the twelfth year, the Beiting Protectorate was deposed and Ningguo was established, and the five emperors were appointed as vassals.
For more than two hundred years after that, the border troubles continued and the court could not bear it.
The vassal states will rebel and return, and the new vassal states will be destroyed and restored.
Later, after ten generations, he became Chengzu, Duzong, Hengzong, Jingzong, Kangzong, Mingzong, Xiaozong, Shenzong, Xianzong, and Xianzong.
In 1379 AD, the riots captured Luoyang and the emperor burned himself to death.
King Li Yijing of Zhao fled to Changsha Prefecture and ascended the throne. He still used Jingding as the year name, which was the 27th year of Jingding.
Zhu Chonggui, the leader of the rioters, was from Huaijiang Prefecture. At the age of 37, he was promoted to Emperor Luoyang and changed his reign to Xuanwu.
Because my hometown was Xu in ancient times, the country was changed to Daxu.
So the 27th year of Jingding was the first year of Xuanwu.
In the 28th year of Jingding and the 2nd year of Xuanwu.
Zhu Chonggui sent 200,000 troops to Changsha.
Li Yijing lost and ran to Guangzhou.
In the fourth year of Xuanwu, he took a boat in Chameng and then went to Jiaozhou, leading 100,000 troops to defend the enemy from Langshan.
Because the northerners did not learn from the southern land, it happened to be rainy season and the disease and epidemics broke out, and the Xu army was defeated.
Later, he attacked the south three times, and Li Yijing defeated him, and Xu Bing never came again.
In the seventh year of Xuanwu, the reign of the reign of Shaolong was changed, and Jiaozhou was appointed as Lin'an Prefecture, and he was determined to fight the Northern Expedition.
