However, the security on the coast was too good, and the officials on the coast were not happy, and they went up to exterminate the Xingzhu faction.

Because the pirates along the coast are inextricably linked to these officials. They used these pirates to conduct maritime trade, and if the pirates were gone, the interests of the coastal gentry and officials would be seriously lost. However, under the condition of forbidden sea, they could not blatantly trade by sea, and could only ask for the destruction of the Star Fleet.

For the Imperial Court, the Fleet of Stars is also a pirate, a pirate strong enough to shake the Imperial Court.

After some discussion, Zhu Ding also understood that the key to exterminating the Xingzhu Sect was not the shell in Sichuan, but the huge fleet at sea. As the Ministry of Industry Shangshu said, if this fleet is not destroyed, Ji Yang and the others will run away on the boat, who will catch up.

But after understanding the key, everyone was even more embarrassed, and the navy of the imperial court was weaker than the army. Could it be that if the discarded shipbuilding industry is picked up now, how many young people will have to be able to form such a large fleet.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music." Li Rusong said again.

"Pass it on." Zhu Dingdao.

Li Rusong handed the fold to the eunuch, and the eunuch presented it to Zhu Ding.

Zhu Ding opened the fold and glanced at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and then he held back.

"What did this Li Rusong write, which repeatedly made the emperor angry, but he was too long." Seeing Zhu Ding's face change, the ministers were all uneasy, and at the same time secretly blamed Li Rusong.

Zhu Ding has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and his face has not changed again and again like today.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that if you insist on exterminating the Star Sect, you will inevitably bear a great price. Rather than this, it is better to recruit the Nakshatra faction, and I think that although this person acted rebelliously, he never provoked infighting. His fleet rampaged through the South Seas, fighting other countries, opening up Jizhou, and not harming the border defense line. After Li Rusong's defeat, he thought hard for several days and finally made a decision that was diametrically opposed to his previous decision.

He took a big risk by saying this, but he had to say it.

"Zhao'an, do you want me to do what he says and make him the king of a different surname?" Zhu Ding asked.

"What, how dare you make such a request!" The ministers immediately understood why Zhu Ding's face was so ugly.

"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty has never been crowned a king with a different surname, after making an exception, if everyone follows suit, the world will be in chaos." The military department Shangshu came out to dissuade him again, but the more he dissuaded, the more bad Zhu Ding became.

In his opinion, these people keep saying that they are for the good of the Ming Dynasty, but they can't make useful proposals. Zhu Ding wanted to point at their noses and scold: Don't I know the consequences of being crowned a king with a different surname, but you should give me a way!

endured again and again, Zhu Ding said: "If you don't become the king, what should you do?" ”

The ministers immediately shut up again, this question is really difficult, and it is not a harmony to fight. They naturally hoped to destroy the Star Sect, but they couldn't afford to pay the price, the benefits were too great.

"Your Majesty, it's better to take a step back and make him a duke." Li Rusong proposed.

"Would he like it?" Zhu Ding was quite moved.

"Although Ji Yang is rebellious, he controls Nanyang and Jizhou, if he becomes the duke of our dynasty, then the territory he conquers will also be the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Li Rusong further said.

"I'm afraid that Ji Yang is ambitious, so he has to have a prince." Zhu Ding was even more excited.

After Li Rusong said this, Zhu Ding almost gave up the idea of exterminating the Xingzhu faction. used to be so powerful in the world, recruiting troops and horses in the Central Plains, grabbing territory everywhere, he could bear it. If the masters of the Xingzhu Sect Tianxia Association are all Ji Yang, and although Ji Yang is rebellious, he can bring a lot of benefits to the imperial court, how can he not endure it again.

In the original work, the Sword Emperor commented on Zhu Ding: The emperor's nephew, the old man had visited the people's livelihood before entering the palace, and knew that natural disasters have been frequent in recent years...... But you can still stick to the people-oriented, diligent and love the people, and finally the old man abdicated and made way for the virtuous, and he did not trust the people.

The emperor hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and treated him with great courtesy: Uncle Sheng praised first, nephew is indeed ashamed, and his lack of virtue and incompetence caused the people to starve, and the throne should be returned to his uncle.

From these two dialogues, we can see what kind of person Zhu Ding is.

He said that he wanted to return the throne to the Sword Emperor, and he didn't say whether he was sincere or not, it was hypocritical, and it was not something that ordinary people could say. What if the Sword Emperor accepted it? Zhu Ding dared to say this, which shows that he is thoughtful and can bend and stretch.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to give it a try." Li Rusong wanted to make up for his mistakes and took the initiative to take over the task of recruiting An.

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, and you must envelop Ji Yang as a duke." The Emperor said.

"The last will obey." Li Rusong replied.

——

After Ji Yang returned to the Star Sect, he immediately issued an order to Bu Jingyun, telling him to prepare for war. If the imperial court sends troops again, it will be difficult to stop it with the strength of the Tianxia Society, and troops must be used in two places.

The world will block the imperial army, and the star fleet will land from Tianjin and hit Beijing as quickly as possible.

In this way, the emperor was forced by the strength of the star fleet to choose Zhao'an.

"Although I have the ability to establish myself as a king, it is difficult to win the hearts of the people of the Central Plains." Ji Yang's next plan needs more human resources, and self-reliance is the next step.

One of the things that Ji Yang has a headache is that if this matter is successful, where should he choose as a fief.

The location of the Nakshatra sect is in Sichuan, with Tibet and Xinjiang to the west, and the Middle East to the west. In the future, if you want to industrialize and transport oil from the Middle East, this location in Sichuan is very suitable as a territory.

However, Sichuan is not conducive to controlling the Nanyang and Jizhou generations, and is a little farther away.

At this moment, Ji Yang hoped that the emperor of the dynasty would be a tyrant and would do whatever it took to fight the Xingzhu faction. As long as the emperor dispatches a large army, the people are overwhelmed, and the Central Plains is bound to be in chaos, and he will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to rise.

At that time, why should he be crowned king, with Ji Yang's power in the Central Plains, he has a great chance to be the emperor.

"Report, the court sent someone to see me." Someone from outside came to report the news.

"Let them in." Ji Yang said.

The imperial court did not send troops again, but instead sent people to see it, could it be that it was about to recruit so soon. Ji Yang frowned slightly, if he didn't fight until one party was convinced, this trick would be very troublesome.

He even guessed that the court would definitely send someone to talk to him, and then there would be rambling negotiations.

If you don't fight, it's naturally good for the people below and for the people.

"Master Ji, long time no see." Li Rusong wore the official uniform today, and the guards stayed outside and came in alone to meet Ji Yang.

"For a long time, I don't think, there's anything to say." Ji Yang doesn't like rambling negotiations.

"I have already told the emperor about your request, and the emperor remembers that you have not done evil in the Central Plains, and is willing to spare you once. However, the matter of sealing the king, the Ming Dynasty has never been crowned a king with a different surname so far, and at most you will be crowned a prince. Li Rusong said.

"Hehe, what's the use of asking for an honorary title." Ji Yang said disdainfully.

The princes of the Ming Dynasty had no fiefdoms, only honors.
