Chapter 85: How to deal with Annan? (Part 2)
Zhu Yunwen was finally happy.
The world is vast, and the emperor is the greatest. When something good happens, of course you should first find the emperor's shadow in it, and then try every means to put the credit on the emperor's head. This is the correct position. If you don't put the emperor in good place first, how can you reward the emperor based on his merits? ?
"As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons. If I can train a new army, I naturally have the honor of Taizu."
Zhu Yunwen pretended to wave his hands and quietly transferred his credit to Emperor Taizu's genes.
"Let's not talk about this compliment. Xu Huizu asked for an order. How should Annan deal with it?"
"Annan conspired to rebel. As a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, he committed rebellion against his superiors. In my opinion, he should be abolished."
Bao Zhao took a step forward and said, "Change it to our Ming Dynasty Annan Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, set up offices, garrison troops, and conduct education and etiquette. A hundred years later, it will be the land of our Ming Dynasty."
Bao Zhao's words aroused a large number of echoes, and almost 90% of the people spoke out in support.
Annan has a population of five to six million. Once it is established as a province, it will be a big province. Moreover, Annan is far away from Nanjing. It is said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. How many political dividends and land dividends are there?
"Go and tell King Yan, Yang Shiqi, and Xie Jin to enter the palace."
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said to Shuangxi, then turned back to the courtiers, "Let's discuss it together after King Yan and the two co-organizers arrive."
Shuangxi started to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Zhu Yunwen, "By the way, is the military envoy who reported the message still waiting outside the Meridian Gate?"
"Yes, does your Majesty want to summon you?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head, "It's thousands of miles to come to Nanjing from the southwest, and it's eight hundred miles in a hurry. It's been a hard journey. You sent someone to help him wash up and repair himself, and then rewarded him with two hundred taels of silver and let him stay there." Take a walk around the city of Nanjing, I will summon Xu Huizu when he returns to the army."
"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and I will accept your orders."
Shuangxi resigned and left the palace. Yu Xin suddenly stood up in the main hall and said, "My emperor is so benevolent and righteous that he can consider even a small military envoy and show his favor. This is really a great blessing for us officials."
Zhu Yunwen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Yu Xin’s words contained a lot of connotations.
The key point of his words is at the end, we are officials, this is Zhu Yunwen, you can even think of a small soldier, don't forget that we big guys have been kneeling for several hours.
Then he chuckled and called for a little eunuch, "You ministers have entered the palace since the 4th hour. It's almost gone now. You go to the Shangshan Bureau and bring some cakes and tea for all the ministers to drink. abdomen."
You guys almost cried. The emperor is really attentive. Alas, if you hadn't been holding your thoughts all day long to clear up some troubles, we wouldn't want to trouble you at all. We will be down-to-earth. As long as you Be your emperor with peace of mind. When our history books are written in the future, you will definitely be praised to heaven. Isn’t the reputation of an emperor for eternity fragrant?
Fengtian Palace fell into silence, Zhu Yunwen slowly sipped tea, and the ministers below were busy stuffing things into their mouths. After half an hour, Zhu Di and Jin were reconciled, and Yang Shiqi and Yang Shiqi entered the palace.
Fortunately for Zhu Di, he walked in with his head held high, while Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi were a little more reserved.
Today, when they begged for mercy at Meridian Gate, the two of them were completely at odds with the big guy.
Especially Yang Shiqi, who personally sent Zheng Yi's family to the guillotine!
"I, your Majesty, please pay your respects to our Emperor."
Zhu Di cupped his fists and raised his hands, and Yang Jie and Yang Jie knelt down as a courtesy.
"I summoned the three of you here to report the victory in Southwest China."
Zhu Yunwen said "goodbye" in reply and asked the three of them to get back on their feet.
"Wei Guogong asked for a decree on how to deal with the Annan Kingdom. Mr. Bao Ge's opinion is to abolish the Annan Kingdom and install Annan as the Proclamation and Envoy. I am undecided and would like to hear the opinions of the three of you."
Zhu Di's eyelids drooped slightly, "I am in charge of the military affairs and know nothing about government affairs. I will not say anything about this matter."
Zhu Di is so cautious. He has reached the top of the military level, and he will never dare to interfere in political affairs and make random remarks.
Xie Jin looked at Yang Shiqi and saw that the latter had no intention of speaking, so he had no choice but to stand up and said, "I have a different opinion."
"oh?"
Zhu Yunwen raised his eyebrows and said, "Xie Xie, please explain."
Xie Jin felt bitter in his heart.
He doesn't have any reason, he just wants to oppose it.
He just broke up with Bao Zhao and the others today, so he will oppose anything in the future, no matter whether what Bao Zhao says is reasonable or not, in order to show his loyalty to the emperor.
If he and Yang Shiqi reach a tacit agreement with Baozhao, what will the emperor think? Oh, you two are playing together to tease me? You all think the same as them about everything, and you are all thinking in the same direction, how can I still engage in court affairs?
Political balance in the classroom?
The most famous emperors in the past dynasties must have been good at politics. They would divide the court into several factions to make it easier for them to hold power.
This phenomenon of serving as an official in the same dynasty, but in terms of governing the country, regardless of whether the colleagues' policies are right or wrong, as long as we are not of the same faction, I will refute your views, this is called party struggle.
Everyone does not care about the impact of policies on the people, they just want to express their position to the emperor, even though they know that their policies will kill many people.
In other words, party strife harms the country and harms the people.
Fortunately, Yang Shiqi stood up and took over the conversation for Xie Jin.
"Your Majesty, the initial survey of Annan has caused instability among the people, so it is not a good opportunity to abolish the state as a province. Annan has a population of more than 6 million. Although it has been Chineseized for many years, it is still a country. It is not our Han ethnic group. If we abolish it rashly, it will definitely cause conflict and resistance.
Unless we follow the example of the Yuan Dynasty and kill until the country is destroyed and the species is exterminated, the land will not be stable."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said, "What Scholar Yang said is very much in line with my wishes."
"It is easy to destroy a country, just defeat their army and capture their king, but it is difficult to conquer a nation!"
Zhu Yunwen said pointedly,
"When Bao Yuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, he was invincible on the battlefield and was sure to win every battle. However, under the desperate resistance of our Han people, the advance was difficult. Bao Yuan raised his butcher knife and started the massacre in Sichuan, Changzhou, and Xiangyang.
Millions of people could not frighten the courage of our Han people. Instead, when they put down their butcher's knives and relied on a group of literati to attack their hearts first, the pace of destroying the Southern Song Dynasty accelerated. What does this mean? It means that the destruction of the country depends on the army.
Extermination depends on culture.”
In the main hall, everyone's faces turned red.
Although Zhu Yunwen didn't say it clearly, they all knew who he was pointing the finger at.
At that time, when the Jin, Yuan and Song dynasties were coexisting, there were three Yanshenggong in the world, namely Kong Yuancuo of the Jin Dynasty, Kong Zhiquan of the Yuan Dynasty, and Kong Zhu of the Song Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Jin Dynasty, and Kong Yuancuo demoted the Yuan Dynasty. As a result, there were two Yan Sheng Gong in the Yuan Dynasty. In order to compete for the title of Yan Sheng Gong, Kong Yuancuo tried his best to drive away the Yan Sheng Gong of the Yuan Dynasty.
Kong Zhiquan became the Duke of Yansheng, and Kong Zhiquan became the Order of Qufu.
Later, Kong Yuancuo died without heirs and was succeeded by his younger brother Kong Yuanzui's grandson Kong Zhen. Kong Zhiquan's son Kong Zhi wrote a letter reporting that Kong Zhen was of low origin and inconsistent with the inheritance etiquette of Yansheng Gong lineage, so Kong Zhen was deposed.
But the title of Duke Yan Sheng was vacant, and this was Kublai Khan's trick.
Whoever has the ability to help me destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, this position will be given to him.
From then on, in order to compete for the position of Yanshenggong, the Kong family showed their talents in the field of cultural war, and tried every means to mobilize the literati to help stabilize the thinking of the Han people in the areas occupied by the Yuan Dynasty.
Finally, after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kong Zhi became the Duke of Yansheng. And the Duke of Yansheng of the Southern Song Dynasty became the Guozijian Jijiu of the Yuan Dynasty.
Haha, as the leader of Confucianism, the Kong family is really a pair of heroes. They both work in the Baoyuan Literature Department and are responsible for eliminating the resistance front.
To tamper with history, dissolve barriers, and conceal massacres.
This is to destroy the Han race from the root! If they complete this task, the Chinese nation with its five thousand years of brilliant civilization will be damned extinct!
"Abolition of the country and establishment of provinces is not feasible for the time being."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "How old is King Chen An of Annan? There is no threat to him becoming the king. Let's deal with it first. As for Hu Jili's daughter, the Queen Mother of Annan, she was taken to Yunnan and beheaded to commemorate the heroic spirit of the Duke of Dian. The rest
The generals who surrendered in Annan Kingdom will be exempted from all charges, and they will be appointed as edicts and regents of the country. Ten thousand troops will be left in the garrison to avoid large-scale resistance. I don’t want to start a big war for the time being. I will wait until I think of a way to free up my hands to do it slowly.
"
"My Holy Emperor!"
Who has the nerve to refute Zhu Yunwen's words now? Zhu Yunwen's previous statement that extinction depends on culture has already made them so ashamed that they are dying of shame. If Zhu Yunwen really wants to follow that up, they will all commit suicide in the Golden Palace.
"Oh, right."
Zhu Yunwen slapped his forehead and said, "I am in a good mood today because of the victory in the southwest. Please forgive Zheng Yi for a moment or two. Zheng Yu conspired to rebel and his chariot broke up in the market. Zheng Yi was his father. He had no way to teach his son. He was beheaded and abandoned the market for the same crime.
For three days, the relatives of the three clans were spared the death penalty and exiled to Annan. What do the ministers think?"
"Your Majesty is merciful, and I thank you for your great kindness."
Everyone in the court knelt before Zhu Yunwen stood up and left the palace with a smile.
