Chapter 730: An Official Decision on Annan

Another day later, on the ninth day of the seventh month, the details of Chen Tianping's assassination were sent to Qin Song by Fei Bin through the Jinyiwei system.

Qin Song didn't dare to slack off after receiving the documents, and after reading them from beginning to end, he got up and went to the palace to deliver them to Yun Xi, who had just left the Fengtian Palace.

"So, the Annamite assassination plan was originally more ingenious, and because the assassins had the intention of death from the beginning, it was not until the end that the Jinyi guard caught the two assassins, and there was no time to stop them from assassinating?" Yun Xi also read the report and said to Qin Song.

"That's how it should be, Your Majesty." Qin Song said.

"In other words, although Yunnan's Jinyi guards received your orders this time, they didn't need to carry out the order to let the Annan people achieve their goal?" Yun Xi said again.

"According to what is written, Your Majesty." Qin Song said.

Yun Xi had some doubts in his heart, how could the Annan people be so powerful and successfully carry out the assassination in the place of Daming?

However, he read the document several times, but he did not see any loopholes. This is normal, because Fei Bin was telling the truth, only the last few sentences were false.

Yun Xi, who didn't find a loophole, said to Qin Song: "Then this is the omission of Jinyiwei." Jinyiwei would have such a big omission, Qin Song, you have to rectify it well. ”

"The minister is guilty." Qin Song said.

"That's it. I don't blame you, but you must learn your lesson and don't let this happen again. Chen Tianping, who was assassinated this time, what if it was someone else next time? Yun Xi said. Qin Song bowed down and apologized again.

Then Yun Xi said: "The order you gave at the beginning, all traces will be destroyed, and there will be no remnants. The Jinyi guards sent to Yunnan were also all eliminated. ”

"Your Majesty," Qin Song was about to speak.

But as soon as he said two words, he was interrupted by Yun Xi: "It must be all eliminated, and this matter must not be leaked." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Song had no choice but to agree.

After that, Yun Xi ordered him a few more words, and was about to let him go down, but when he saw that his expression was a little unusual, he asked again, "What?" Still reluctant that I want you to get rid of all the Jinyi guards sent to Yunnan? ”

"I know that the people you trust to do such confidential things are the ones you trust very much, and they must also be shrewd and capable people, and you will be very sad to die any of them. I understand. ”

"But there must not be the slightest rumor of such a thing, so we can only get rid of them all."

"Your Majesty, you understand this. The minister actually has some doubts in his heart, so it is so. Qin Song said.

"Confused about what?" Yoon-hee asked.

"Your Majesty, when Your Majesty discussed with his ministers before, he also said that even if Chen Tianping is allowed to live safely in Yunnan, even if most officials in Annan are interested in him a few years later, he may be assassinated by Li Jichen when he returns to the throne."

"Then Your Majesty, why don't you let Chen Tianping return to China and be assassinated a few years later? That would have nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty at all, it was done by the people of Annan, and at that time, His Majesty would have a legitimate reason to send troops to Annam. ”

"And by that time, the king of Jingjiang has also been married to the princess for several years, and there should already be a prince, and it will be easier to appease the people of Annam after the war." Qin Song said.

It was something he had always wondered about. Yun Xi's performance in this matter is anxious, very anxious, very anxious, as if there is a leather whip behind him who keeps urging. But obviously, it would be better to let this matter settle for a few more years. Today, while talking to Yunxi, I asked.

"Qin Song, what you said is right, it is true that after a few years of precipitation, things will go more smoothly, not only from the situation of Daming, but also from the situation in Annan."

"However, I am very jealous of Li Jichen. In other words, I am very jealous of some of his practices. Yun Xi said.

"Your Majesty is jealous of Li Jichen?" Qin Song couldn't believe it.

Of course, Yun Xi is not a particularly outstanding emperor, and he is far worse than Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of qualifications to be an emperor. But he often has many novel methods, such as 'big data analysis'. Through these methods, Yun Xi analyzes each letter from all aspects of the person who played it, and can often analyze his purpose to the same thing, so as to properly dispose of each letter.

And Yun Xi has been very stable in the past few years, although there was a rebellion, it was quickly pacified, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the form was very good.

In the past few years since Li Jichen was in power, although there are reasons why he wants to usurp the throne, the domestic situation in Annan is turbulent, and the grain harvest has failed in wars for many years.

Yun Xi looked at Qin Song's somewhat puzzled face and said, "Li Jichen is actually very capable. You should also know what I called the population theory in my early years. Because there was no major war in the usurpation of the throne by Li Jichen, Annan had such a large population that the food in the domestic fields was not enough to fully feed it. ”

"If he does not fight and allows the population to continue to increase, sooner or later the grain produced in the domestic fields will not be able to feed most of the people, and no matter how wise and powerful he is at that time, it will be impossible for him to maintain the Li Dynasty or the Hu Dynasty. So he was going to attack the city and take the fields. ”

"And the domestic reform, suppressing the strong, and using the imperial examination to win the scholar are also very correct choices."

"But if that's all there is, I won't be afraid of him. What I am afraid of is that he wants to abolish Chinese characters and promote the use of muttering characters. ”

"Although the word "mutter" has been invented by the Annan people in the Song Dynasty, not many people have used it, and most people still use Chinese characters; But Li Jichen wants to implement the muttering. ”

"Now the scholars of Annan can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, which is not much different from the scholars of the Central Plains; But if he had promoted the words and recorded the culture in writing, perhaps many years later, the scholars of Annan would have been different from the Central Plains, and the culture of Annan would have been different from the Central Plains. At that time, it will be very difficult to pacify Annam. ”

Speaking of this, Yun Xi remembered what happened after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Although the Manchus conquered China militarily, because of the continuation of Chinese culture and the large population of the Han people, they could only accept the Chinese character of the Han Chinese, but could not let the Han people accept the Manchu Manchu language. As soon as the Manchu Qing Dynasty was over, all the bannermen hid their identities and were almost indistinguishable among the Han Chinese. If it weren't for the later policy, the Manchu nation would have ceased to exist like the Khitan and other ethnic groups.

Of course, there are not as many Annan people as the Han people, and the Han people are not as few as the banner people, but if the Annan culture is independent, it will not be easy to do it.

"In this way, from the perspective of Annan himself, what Li Jichen did is actually good for them, and Li Jichen can be regarded as a hero of the Annan people?" Qin Song said.

"Indeed it is! From the Annanite side, although they curse Li Jichen now, in a few hundred years, they will see Li Jichen as a hero, at least a positive person. Yun Xi said. Later generations' evaluation of Li Jichen is constantly rising.

"However, Your Majesty, in just the past two years, even if Li Jichen promotes muttering, there will not be much difference." Qin Song thought about it and asked again.

"That's true, but I'm afraid of him, and I'm always trying to get rid of him as soon as possible. Besides, you have to fight sooner or later, so it's better to fight early. Isn't there such a saying, it is better to fight late than to fight early, and it is better to fight small than to fight big. Yun Xi said.

"Your Majesty, who said that?" Qin Song asked.

"You don't have to worry about that, he's a great man anyway." Yun Xi smiled and said.

"It's better to fight late than early, and it's better to fight small than to fight,......" Qin Song muttered this sentence a few more times, raised his head and asked: "Your Majesty, it's better to fight late than early, but why is it better to fight small than big?" ”

"Small fights generally don't solve the problem completely. And a big fight can solve all the problems at once. Yun Xi said.

"But the cost of a big fight is also much higher." Qin Song said.

"I'm going to be a big fight this time, but I won't have to spend too much." Yun Xi said.

Qin Song's face was full of doubts again: How could it be that the big fight didn't cost much? Several expeditions to Mobei, which time was not the consumption of grain accumulated in the northern region for several years; Even if a lot of cattle and sheep are captured, it is difficult to make up for the expenses.

However, Yun Xi didn't explain to him again, just said, "You'll know later." ”

Qin Song could only bow down with doubts.

Afterwards, Yun Xi immediately called the dozen or so people who had a meeting the day before yesterday into the palace and handed them the documents submitted by Yunnan that recorded the details of Chen Tianping's assassination.

After reading the documents, Guo Zhen was the first to say: "Your Majesty, the facts have been so clear and clear, when Li Jichen was lenient to him, Li Jichen still deceived the king and rebelled against people, how can Daming accept it!" Immediately send troops to attack Annam. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Li Jichen cannot be indulged, so he should immediately send troops to capture Li Jichen and bring him back to Beijing." Xie Jin said.

Subsequently, the other people present also echoed their words and did not use force. But there are subtle differences between the discourse of the civil and military forces.

In the end, only Chen Xingshan was left without speaking. Yun Xi and the others all turned their heads to look at him, waiting for him to speak.

"Your Majesty, Li Jichen has failed the grace of the Holy Grace and is a great rebellion, and his crime should be punished, and he and his relatives should be captured from Thang Long Mansion back to the capital and dealt with according to the law."

"But this matter has nothing to do with the ordinary people of Annan, and it has nothing to do with the scholars of Annan. Your Majesty should be Xiaoyu Annan's people, so that they will not be enemies of our great soldiers. Chen Xingshan said.

"Since everyone agrees to send troops to punish Annan, and to capture Li Jichen and his relatives from Annan and deal with them according to the law, then I have decided that from today onwards, I will officially cut off Annan as the country of the Ming Dynasty, and send troops to recruit it!" Yun Xi said.
