Chapter 717: Princess Annan
"Li Jichen said so simply that he was willing to welcome Chen Tianping back as the monarch of Annan?" Yun Xi said in surprise after reading the beginning of Li Jichen's plea, and his brows furrowed.
But slowly, Yun Xi let go of his frowning brows and said with a smile: "It turns out that I also want to delay, and the first few words are just to show my sincere and fearful attitude." ”
Yun Xi immediately called more than a dozen of his cronies into the palace, showed them Li Jichen's plea, and asked, "What do you think should be done with Li Jichen?" ”
"Your Majesty, Li Jichen is self-reliant and sinful, but he still has a good heart, so it is better to forgive him for the crime of killing the monarch and give him a knighthood to live for the rest of his life." Xie Jin said. Xie Jin guessed that Yun Xi's mind was to solve Annan's matter as soon as possible, and if he had to cure Li Jichen's sins, he would probably force him to die, so he said.
"Your Majesty! Li Jichen not only plotted to usurp the throne, but also killed the monarch and killed the former dynasty, the crime is unforgivable, His Majesty should capture him to the capital, and declare his sin in public and put him to death. ”
"However, although his son Hu He also sought to usurp the throne, this was all his father's plan, and they were willing to repent and atone for their sins, so the lives of his son Hu Hu and other clansmen can be forgiven, and His Majesty can give him a free body and let him live in the Central Plains." Chen Xingshan said.
Subsequently, others also expressed their opinions, some of them supported Xie Jin, but most of them supported Chen Xingshan. After all, it is not enough to seek the usurpation of the dynasty, and even kill all the clans of the previous dynasty, which is unacceptable in the Confucian moral concept, so most people support Chen Xingshan's opinion.
There were also a small number of people who proposed to kill the entire Li clan, but they were ignored by the majority. If such a suggestion is made, it will not solve the problem, Li Jichen and Hu Huan's father and son will definitely be killed, and the Ming Dynasty will have to fight, which is not in line with the interests of the civilian officials here.
After listening to their opinions, Yun Xi did not express his attitude for the first time, but said that he had to think about it and let them all retreat.
This matter quickly spread in the court and caused heated discussions among everyone. At this time, there was nothing else important, although this matter was a matter of Fanguo, but it involved the usurpation of the dynasty, and countless civil officials put forward their opinions on this.
Most civil officials believed that Li Jichen's approach was really an unforgivable crime, but out of the need to solve the problem and not fight, they all agreed with Chen Xingshan's opinion; A small number of civil officials believed that Chen Xingshan's opinion was the most important, but His Majesty even had to think about it, thinking that Yun Xi actually wanted to adopt Xie Jin's opinion, but because most people agreed with Chen Xingshan's opinion and did not dare to say it easily, so he wrote to support Xie Jin's opinion.
As for the generals, of course, they want to fight one-sidedly. In their opinion, although the Mongols failed to defeat Annam, at that time because they could only use cavalry, not infantry, and the Mongols in the north of Annam were not suitable to defeat the battle, and the army of the Ming Dynasty must be captured, so they all wrote to ask for punishment of Li Jichen Hu Huan's father and son, and sent troops to send Chen Tianping back to succeed the monarch.
For a moment, countless twists and turns flocked to Yun Xi's table.
But Yunxi didn't watch these twists and turns at all. He asked Wang Xi to pick out all the remarks on this matter and throw them aside, and leave them all in the middle. Because he has a plan in mind, and he has more important things to do.
……
……
"My nephew has seen Your Majesty." Zhu Zanyi bowed down and said to Yun Xi.
"Why do you have to give so much courtesy? It's good to call uncle, what to call Your Majesty, it seems to be a lot of life. Yun Xi said affectionately.
"Then the nephew will call him uncle." Zanyi also said with a smile.
"That's right, we don't have to be polite between our uncles and nephews." Yun Xi said.
The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and they couldn't hold their breath, or Zhu Zanyi, who deliberately pretended to be uncontrollable, asked: "Uncle, my nephew originally planned to come to the capital to pay tribute this year and congratulate my uncle on Zhengdan, why did he call my nephew from Guangxi now?" ”
"Have you been paying attention to Annan lately?" Yoon-hee asked.
"Of course pay attention, after all, Annan is near his nephew's fiefdom, how can he not pay attention. Chen Tianping, Pei Boqi and others were sent to the capital by their nephews. ”
"I heard that we can guarantee that what they said is true, and Li Jichen has also admitted his sins and is willing to welcome back Chen Tianping as the lord of the country." Zhu Zanyi said.
"How can things be so simple, how can Li Jichen easily give up the throne." Yun Xi said.
"Uncle means that Li Jichen is still deceiving Da Ming?" Zhu Zanyi asked.
"It's hard to say, but he will definitely not give up the position of head of state easily, and there is still trouble. Let's not talk about this, it's a little off-topic. Uncle called you to the capital at this time to decide who would be your princess. Yun Xi said.
"Candidate for the princess? Uncle finally chose his nephew's princess? Zhu Zanyi said in a happy tone. He is twenty-one years old this year, and he is the only one in the adult clan of the Ming Dynasty who has not officially married. Although he had a marriage contract in the Hongwu period before, but the woman died before she could get married, it was strange enough that he had not married the concubine for so many years, and many people asked him why he didn't marry the concubine. Zhu Zanyi couldn't tell them that Yun Xi had never let him marry the concubine, and she was very depressed.
"Well, it's the right person." Yun Xi said: "These days, Chen Tianping's people who fled from Annan are in the capital, and my uncle sometimes goes to him to say something. By chance, I met his sister Chen Liping. ”
"She is only sixteen years old this year, and my uncle saw that she was knowledgeable and good-looking, so he had the idea of giving her to you as a concubine."
And she is also Chen Tianping's own sister. When Chen Tianping becomes the lord of Annan in the future, only Chen Liping, a relative, will definitely have a very good relationship with him; Your fiefdom is in Guangxi, and marrying Chen Tianping's sister is also conducive to having a good relationship with him, and the border is stable. ”
"Annanite?" Zhu Zanyi was very surprised. He never thought that Yun Xi wanted to marry an Annan person to him as a concubine, even if it was the Annan clan.
"Brother Huang, in that case, why didn't you ask your nephew to marry the county lord of Annan two years ago?" Zhu Zanyi asked.
"At that time, the monarch of Annan had no power, and the power was in the hands of Li Jichen, so what was the use of you marrying the daughter or sister of the monarch of Annan? As for marrying Li Jichen's daughter, her status is too low to be a good match. So my uncle has been hesitating whether to marry you to the daughter of the monarch of Annan, so he has dragged things out until now. Anyway, you already have a side concubine and an eldest son, so you can not marry the main concubine for a while, or you can straighten out the only side concubine in the future. Yun Xi not only explained why he was asked to marry Chen Liping, but also explained why he was never officially asked to marry the concubine.
"Nephew understood." Zhu Zanyi said. Yun Hee's reason was very reasonable, so he didn't doubt the truth.
Yun Xi did tell the truth, but it was only half of the truth, and the other half was: 'If you married the county lord of Annan as the concubine two years ago, what if Li Jichen was frightened and didn't dare to seek a usurpation of the throne?' In that case, how can I carry out my plan? ’
"Uncle, has my uncle already told Chen Tianping about this?" Zhu Zanyi asked.
"Not yet. After all, Chen Tianping is the future monarch of Fanguo, even if he doesn't dare not agree now, he is still polite to him. ”
"Uncle plans to let you meet Chen Tianping's sister one day, and then tell your uncle that you are willing to marry her as a concubine. The uncle then went to tell Chen Tianping on this ground, and after Chen Tianping agreed, the uncle officially decreed that his sister Chen Liping of the Chen family would be crowned as the princess of Jingjiang. Yun Xi said.
"Okay, uncle." Zhu Zanyi said a little helplessly. If Chen Liping is really good-looking, it would be fine if he could make him feel excited, but if it wasn't the type he liked, he could only pinch his nose and do so.
"Don't worry about Zanyi, this sister of Chen Tianping is indeed very knowledgeable, gentle and beautiful, and she won't let you dislike it." Yun Xi seemed to have guessed Zhu Zanyi's thoughts, and said with a smile.
"Uncle, since my nephew has come to the capital, it is impossible not to talk to my uncles, grandfathers, and uncles in the capital, if they ask why my nephew was called to the capital by my uncle, how should my nephew answer?" Zhu Zanyi asked again.
"You just said that your uncle told you to go to the capital to learn more about the drills of the Guangxi Guard, and how many soldiers are available if you are fighting. Don't say anything else, but if someone asks your uncle what he knows about this, you say you don't know. Yun Xi said.
"Nephew understood." Zhu Zanyi said. He has been a prince for several years and understands what Yun Xi means.
After that, Yun Xi told him in detail about his plan, and finally said: "When you enter the palace that day, dress up a little better, dress like a vassal king, and leave a good impression on her." ”
"Got it, uncle." Zhu Zanyi said.
……
……
Three days later, Yun Xi Xuan Chen Liping entered the palace to meet the queen. Because since Chen Tianping's identity was confirmed, she has entered the palace many times to meet the queen, so this time she did not suspect it, and entered the palace to meet Xiyao normally.
When she got off the bus at Chengtianmen, Zhu Zanyi saw her once, and then Chen Liping was 'accidentally' seen by Zhu Zanyi once when she left the palace.
Then Zhu Zanyi asked Yun Xi to give Chen Liping to him according to the previous 'script', even if Xu was the concubine, she was willing.
Yun Xi summoned Chen Tianping to the palace, told him about it, and asked him if he would like to marry his sister to Zhu Zanyi as a concubine.
Chen Tianping agreed to the matter on the spot. Zhu Zanyi is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and it is in the north and south of Anbei, and it is too beneficial to marry his sister to him; Besides, when Zhu Zanyi saw Chen Liping, Chen Liping also saw Zhu Zanyi, and her first impression of him was not bad. So how could Chen Tianping be unwilling. This is how it was settled.
