Zhu Changming's voice fell, and the entire hall immediately became quiet.

"King Xiping?"

Huangfu Zhengtian's pupils dilated, and his expression was full of disbelief.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the royal family, there has never been a king with a different surname.

Yes, it is only posthumously sealed, and the posthumous prince has neither military power nor status, and future generations cannot inherit it, so it can only be regarded as an honorary title.

And like him, who is directly crowned king, and can also hold military power, has never been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Huangfu Zhengtian's mind roared, and he really couldn't understand why he was crowned king!

"Huangfu Zhengtian, still don't receive the decree to thank you?"

Zhu Changming looked at Huangfu Zhengtian's sluggish face and chuckled, he could understand Huangfu Zhengtian's mood at the moment.

He is the first person who can be named a king with a different surname alive since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

This prince, but he discussed it with the hundred officials for two days before deciding.

The Huangfu family has guarded the western border for the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, working hard and resentful, countless clansmen have fought and fallen in the wasteland, are loyal, hard work, and it is not too much to give a prince.

"The last general, Emperor Fu Zhengtian, received the decree and thanked him. ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

In Zhu Changming's call, Huangfu Zhengtian suddenly woke up, knelt down to thank him, took the holy decree, and then stood up and looked at Zhu Changming with a heavy face and asked, "Old prince, what is going on?"

crowned a king for no reason, which made Huangfu Zhengtian always feel a little frightened.

Zhu Changming's expression froze, and he replied helplessly: "Zhengtian, this king has an important thing to tell you next, you must stabilize your mentality and don't be impulsive." ”

Huangfu Zhengtian's eyebrows touched: "Lord Wang, please speak!"

Zhu Changming had a bitter face: "Two days ago, the barbarian national division personally rushed to the capital, met Your Majesty, and decided to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty and the ministers discussed for two days, unanimously agreed to recover the barbarians, and ordered Jingzhou City to immediately cease fighting. ”

"What?"

"The barbarians want to submit to my Daming!"

Huangfu Zhengtian's eyes glared, his heart was shocked, and he looked at Zhu Changming in disbelief, this news was too shocking for him, the barbarians who had invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years were actually submissive, how could this be.

"This matter is absolutely true, the war is over, Your Majesty ordered you to command the remaining western border guards, form the Wolf Gate Corps, guard Jingzhou City, and wait for the next order. ”

Zhu Changming nodded and said slowly.

"Isn't this a joke!"

Hearing Zhu Changming's confirmation, Huangfu Zhengtian was short of breath, his face was instantly gloomy to the extreme, his pupils were glowing with cold light, and he roared hysterically: "The barbarians have killed so many of us, and I have a miserable death in the battle of the Wolf Gate." ”

Now they say a word, stop fighting, and submit to obedience. ”

"Why don't they fight, what qualifications do they have to submit, what use do we want this group of beasts, stay and continue to plague my Ming people!"

"I don't agree with this!"

"Huangfu Zhengtian, you calm down this king!"

Zhu Changming's expression sank, and he said coldly: "This is the resolution of the imperial court, and it is also the intention of His Majesty, so you can't disagree." ”

"Do you think this king wants to see these barbarians, the court is also forced to do so, right now my Ming has just come out of rebellion, the vitality has not yet recovered, the people are tired, what to fight with the barbarians, even if they are barely destroyed, what price will I pay for the Ming Dynasty Do you know, how many soldiers will die in this war next, do you know. ”

"For the country and the people, we must accept the annexation of the barbarians this time. ”

"The soldiers who fell in the battle of Wolf Gate Pass are also very sad, and the imperial court has decided to compensate them as much as possible. ”

"Your Majesty has also decreed that the descendants of the officers and grandchildren of the Western Frontier Army will also enjoy state subsidies and some privileges, which will definitely not chill them. ”

"But even so, what about it? Can the fallen soldiers of the Wolf Gate Pass come back from the dead?"

Huangfu Zhengtian's expression was cold, he took a breath and continued: "If we want to live in peace with the barbarians, this is impossible, anyway, I can't accept it." ”

"If you can't accept it, accept it!"

Zhu Changming's eyebrows tightened and he said in a deep voice: "Do you think this is your own business, this is the country's business, and it is impossible for the country to change its strategy because of you alone, you should think about it here, and announce it to the soldiers after thinking about it." ”

After Zhu Changming finished speaking, he shook off his python robe and walked out expressionlessly.

He knew that this incident was a big blow to Huangfu Zhengtian, and it was normal for him to be difficult to accept for a while.

But the barbarians have great value for the imperial court, and it is impossible to be abandoned because of one or two people.

There is no urgency

Forbidden city.

Qianqing Palace.

Dozens of courtiers stood in the center of the main hall, deliberating, and the white-clothed young man Su Mu was also among them.

"Your Majesty, after two days of discussion and deliberation in the Ministry of Households, the ministers and colleagues of the Ministry of Households have always decided that the three royal courts of the barbarians can be divided into six mansions for easy management. ”

"These six prefectures are the Qingzhou Mansion and Chongzhou Mansion of the Yi Nationality Royal Court, the Chengdu Mansion and Shuzhou Mansion of the Di Nationality Royal Court, and the Qingzhou Mansion and Haizhou Mansion of the Rong Nationality Royal Court. ”

"According to Your Majesty's intentions, above the six mansions of the barbarians, a Western Territory Protectorate will be set up, which will be directly controlled by my Ming Dynasty!"

Shen Zhao, the head of the household, stood on the main hall and reported respectfully.

Dragon chair.

Zhu Qiying nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "The officials of the Western Frontier Protectorate are selected by the promotion of the Ministry of Officials, and they must be arranged as soon as possible!"

"Follow the parables!"

Below, the officials of the Ministry immediately bowed down and replied.

Zhu Qiying smiled lightly, turned her head to look at Su Mu next to her, and asked, "Su Aiqing, do you think it's okay to arrange it like this?" ”

"Everything is up to Your Majesty!"

Su Mu replied with a calm demeanor: "All the royal family members who oppose the Ming Dynasty in the three royal courts have all been executed by Weichen, as long as the Ming officials arrive, they can immediately take over the affairs of the royal court." ”

As he spoke, Su Mu took out a book-like thing from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Qiying: "This is the information of the important clan elders among the barbarian clans, Your Majesty can use this book to find it." ”

Since he chose to return to the Ming Dynasty, then return to the Ming Dynasty thoroughly, Su Mu is not afraid that Zhu Qiying will unload the mill and kill the donkey, and settle the account after the autumn, as long as he is a barbarian and smooth, he has no reason to find trouble.

It's not stupid, it's made by current events, it's providential, everything is a foregone conclusion, in order for the barbarians to continue in the catastrophe of heaven and earth in three years, he has no choice but to do this.

Zhu Qiying stretched out her hand to take the roster, opened it and read two pages, her heart was a little shocked.

He now has to admire Su Mu's ruthlessness, he is so ruthless to his own people, not to mention outsiders, it seems that the barbarians really want to belong to Da Ming this time.
