When Xia Xun and the King of Han fought for the right to command the army, Zhang Fu already felt in a dilemma. )

He didn't want to get involved in political disputes, in the struggle between the prince and the prince, he had always tried to maintain neutrality, since the king of Han had expressed his willingness to lead the army, no matter what his real purpose was, Zhang Fu could not fight with the king of Han. But now that Xia Xun is trying his best to advocate the benefits of having him lead the troops, and if he doesn't express his position, won't the emperor feel that he doesn't want to go to Annan to suffer anymore?

In desperation, Zhang Fu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "As long as the emperor gives an order, the minister is willing to immediately lead the troops and pacify Annan!" ”

Zhu Di said noncommittally, and then looked at Xu Jingchang and Jin Zhong: "You guys...... What do you think? ”

Xu Jingchang and Jin Zhong glanced at each other, and said in unison: "The minister thinks that the fight must be fought, as for who to send to the battle, His Majesty Fu Wei will be judged!" ”

Xu Jingchang was determined to go with Xia Xun, as for Jin Zhong, Jin Zhong was the commander of the guard in Tongzhou that year, and when the king of Yan was martyred, he attached himself to the king of Yan and helped the prince Zhu Gaochi to guard Beiping, which was the prince's party, and of course agreed with Xia Xun's opinion.

But they are not stupid, they have been driving with the saint for so long, and they still don't know what the emperor is like? If everyone agrees with the opinion of Fu Guogong, the ten people who lead the troops to the battle are Zhu Gaoxu. This matter must go through an evenly matched competition, so that the emperor feels that this candidate is determined by him, not by the courtiers.

Zhu Di snorted, turned his body slightly, lay on his back on the couch, and looked at the top of the tent.

Everyone in the study didn't dare to say anything more, just waited quietly, and after a while, Zhu Di said: "You all retreat, I think about it again." Yang Xu stayed. It's rare for you to enter the palace. Chat with me! ”

"Your Ministers obey!" Everyone stood up one after another, Shi Li retreated, Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking, and when he turned around and walked to Xia Xun's side, he glared at him fiercely, shook the sleeves of his robe, and walked away. Xia Xun gently dusted the sleeves of his robe and smiled gently.

and when everyone withdrew. Zhu Di called Xia Xun to sit down beside him, turned over and sat up, and asked solemnly: "Wenxuan, do you think what is the most appropriate policy for Annan?" ”

Xia Xun said: "The minister still thinks that the puppet should be supported and ruled by raze!" Direct merger, accept and rule, the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Zhu Di frowned slightly. Xia Xun asked: "The emperor went on a northern expedition, forced Benjamin to death, forced to land in Arutai, and won a complete victory. Why don't you just take the northern grassland and set up counties, but instead support Arutai and treat them leniently? ”

Zhu Di said: "Do you still need to ask?" Set up governors in the prairie, and tell them to govern whom? But Annan is not a steppe desert, according to me. If the starting point is stronger, it can be compared with Liaodong. ”

Xia Xun shook his head and said: "Although there is no desert grassland in Annan, there are deep mountains and great rivers, and as far as the minister can see, it can be compared to the grassland of northern Xinjiang, not Liaodong." ”

He thought quietly for a while and said, "Annan has been self-reliant for nearly five hundred years. And five hundred years ago. It is also a rebellion and a rebellion, and there has never been a moment of peace. When the Yuan Dynasty was rampant and invincible, it could only break through its kingdom repeatedly, rather than rule according to it. If the Yuan Dynasty had to occupy Annam and send officials, would it be possible? Absolutely! But why doesn't it do that? Because the gains outweigh the losses! If it were my prosperous land in the Central Plains, would they be willing to give it up?

Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the King of Han said just now is right, the people of Annan think they are wrong, and their hearts are not here in the court! They often think about the old customs, and when they hear about the thief, they incite. Wherever the thief chieftain goes, he hides with supplies, and the court can't take root there! Emperor Taizu Gao said: 'It is not enough to supply the land, and it is not enough to make the order to obtain the people'.

Now, His Majesty is very tolerant of the people of Annam, and does not pay taxes or levy their service, which is no longer a matter of insufficient supply and insufficient order, but does not require them to fulfill their duties as subjects at all. As a result, when they have the opportunity, they still have to rebel, the emperor thinks that all the seas are naked, but they are a group of white-eyed wolves who can't be fed! ”

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "I am on the back of the tiger today, can I still retreat?" ”

Xia Xun said categorically: "Can't! If you retreat, you will lose your prestige, and there is only one battle! ”

Zhu Di was silent.

Xia Xun pondered for a long time, searched his stomach and thought about some policies in the future, to see if there were any slight adaptations that could be used, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, right now, it is bound to fight." We can decide with the development and change of the war situation, if we can suppress it, the county system can be implemented, and after three generations and five generations, they can be educated.

If you can't get it, then when the time is ripe, choose a person in Annam, crown its king, and govern its land, and the official system should be from the system of my Ming Dynasty, but the appointment and dismissal of officials should be at their own convenience, and the local affairs should be taken care of by themselves, and the blessings and blessings will be blamed, and Your Majesty will take care of it if you want to, and if you don't want to take care of it, it is also their own business, so as not to increase the burden of my Ming Dynasty. In the future, if the situation can develop in a direction that is favorable to my Daming, and then follow the trend, wouldn't it be twice as effective with half the effort as now. ”

Xia Xun doesn't know if anyone has come up with a more appropriate way, this is the method he came up with for the current situation: fight first, conquer if you can conquer, and then take a step back if you can't conquer, seal the king of the land, govern its own land, half independence and half unity, local autonomy, but this king is not the king of the country, but the king of the vassal king, similar to the princes of the Zhou Dynasty.

This level of control does not cause them to react strongly, because except for one name, everything else is governed by themselves. The rights are their own, and the obligations are also their own, and in this case, no matter how much they lose, they will lose more than they gain, and as long as they are not too stupid, they can understand this account.

And the Ming Dynasty is still their monarch, compared to the original history, more than 20 years of war, put in countless lives, the Ming treasury was emptied, and finally forced to sign the "alliance under the city", as a result, after the alliance under the city was signed, before it was announced, it took the initiative to withdraw the troops with dignity, and the entire Jiaozhi was much stronger than the force of others.

At the same time, the key to this plan is that, de jure, it is not an independent country, but a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the initiative is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and this is precisely the point that the current ruler of Annam does not care much about, so when the time is ripe in the future. and the land shall be the inner county. Completely reasonable and legal. Or at that time, the Ming Empire had come to an end, and the Central Plains Dynasty, which inherited its mantle, was still the legitimate owner of Annam.

Zhu Di pondered for a long time before he said: "Things in the future, let's see how the situation changes, and then make corresponding countermeasures!" I have just recovered from my illness, and I am prone to fatigue, and now I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I am a little sleepy. Go back first, I want to rest! Well, take my royal chariot back! ”

Xia Xun was stunned, taking the royal chariot? This is a great honor, only the emperor or the old minister of the old Dezhao, only occasionally enjoy this kind of treatment, in the era of feudal etiquette and the father and son, this is a grand event that can be written into the history books, Xia Xun dare to agree, and hurriedly said: "The emperor Longen." Panic! If the minister comes on horseback, he should return on horseback! ”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "You have made great contributions to the imperial court, but I can't reward you." I deeply regret it. Isn't it called a show of my heart? ”

Timur was assassinated by the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Gong, this matter is absolutely a secret in secrets, more important than the important archives that can be authorized to be declassified after 50 or 100 years, as long as the Timurid Empire does not die one day, this secret will never be made public, so Xia Xun set up this sky-winning achievement. It really can't be rewarded. Although the reward cannot be rewarded, Zhu Di is obviously expressing his gratitude to Xia Xun by doing this.

Under the feudal etiquette of the monarch and the father and son, the courtier should do anything for the king, even if he acts as a substitute for the king and dies for the lord, it is also justified. Zhu Di can do this, that is an extremely commendable thing. Xia Xun hesitated slightly, so he had to bow down and say: "The king gave it, and the minister is ashamed!" ”

Riding the smooth royal chariot out of the royal road, into the alley under the plane tree, the light through the leaves cast colorful shadows, the curtains are sometimes bright and dark, like dyed flowers. Xia Xun leaned on the wall of the car and fell into deep thought.

At present, the situation in Annan is as he expected, Daming is in a quagmire, and he can't pull out a pair of mud feet. He is not God, he can't take care of everything, and he can't let everything in the world develop according to his wishes, and at the moment he can only try to do a good job of dealing with the aftermath, and try to avoid the war that hundreds of thousands of troops in history have lasted for decades in Annan, thus causing irreparable losses to the Ming Dynasty.

As for the future, try to pave the road now and leave a foreshadowing, so that if the children and grandchildren are angry, they will naturally be able to get it back when the time comes. If the children and grandchildren are not angry, even if they are now in these family businesses, they will be ruined, even if the ancestors are tired and vomit blood, how much more will they earn for him, and they will not make wedding dresses for others?

The car passed through a puddle, although the car was built by a famous craftsman, and the horses and hands were well-trained, the car still bumped a little, and Xia Xun, who was contemplative, knocked his head on the pillow, Xia Xun gently rubbed his forehead, and suddenly felt that the development of this history was very similar to the car he was riding.

People are the masters, horses are the system, and the car is the productive force. If the rulers of an era and these big men who can influence the direction of government can become an excellent emperor, under the same historical conditions, this car can go faster and more steadily than others. But this will not last long, and the government will die with the people. If you want to go long, you still have to rely on that horse.

The fundamental system and direction of the country is that horse, the system is wrong, rotten, and when it is time to change, then no matter how good the emperor is, it will not help. And this car is the material condition under the objective conditions of history, no matter how good the emperor is, no matter how good the horse pulling the car is, there is a limit to what kind of car it is, and if you make a great leap forward, the car will fall apart.

Just like Zhu Di defeated the Tatars and chose to set up Arutai as the lord of the Tatars to sing a duet with Wara, if the Ming Dynasty now has the striking range of weapons of his time, the conditions of transportation, and the ......convenience of communication facilities, does he still need to do this? Zhu Di can directly rule the territory of Tatar, and the same is true for Annan, I can't help but think about how much this car can carry and how fast it can run!

Xia Xun let out a long breath, put aside the rotten problems that only future people like him would be entangled, and began to seriously think about the current predicament, without the present, how can there be a future: "This matter, I must find a way to stop it, and I must not let the King of Han take charge of the army!" This carp, the difference is that the dragon gate jumped, let him jump over, it is the second Yan King! ”
