According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the one-character king was the prince and the two-character king was the county king, and the difference between them was very large, and the status of the one-character king was much higher.

After Sun Kewang took control of Yunnan, he nominally honored the name of Longwu, but he proclaimed himself the "lord of the country" of Qin, established six departments of the camp, and appointed officials such as Shangshu Shilang, as if it was a country within a country.

After starting negotiations with the Longwu court, Sun Kewang insisted on asking for the title of King of Qin, nominally fighting for a title, but in fact, it was for the future, and after defeating the Manchu Dynasty, he returned to his hometown of Shaanxi to be the king of Qin, which was of course the most ideal result for Sun Kewang.

The Longwu court resolutely disagreed, and the King of Qin had already been decided. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's second son Zhu Fan was named the king of Qin, and it was handed down for more than 200 years. Besides, the strength of the Longwu Imperial Court is sufficient, there is no need to make too many concessions to the Great Western Army, Li Guo and Gao Yigong are only marquis, but Sun Kewang is the king of one word, and this relationship is difficult to settle.

Sun Kewang asked for the Wing King again, and the Longwu court was a little hesitant, and some officials advocated accepting, but it happened that the Chu army won the Battle of Huguang, and Emperor Longwu's waist immediately straightened up, and he refused with a tough attitude.

The Battle of Huguang defeated more than 100,000 elite Qing troops and killed Luck Dehun and Geng Zhongming, which not only emboldened the Longwu court, but also frightened the Great Western Army. Although Sun Kewang still wants to be the king of one word, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu persuaded him to give up, in the Great Western Army, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are the relationship between the eldest and the second and third, and there is no absolute authority.

After being sealed, Sun Kewang was not reconciled. The imperial edict of the two-character king was not announced, and he still used the name of the king of Qin to give orders in Yunnan, and enjoyed himself behind closed doors. Of course. This is not just a pleasure for yourself, but after a long time and the strength is enough, the court can only be forced to accept the fait accompli.

After Emperor Longwu learned about this, although he was very angry, the whip chief couldn't control him, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. I don't know. But sooner or later, there must be a solution to this matter, the imperial court is not strong enough, and it is impossible to punish Sun Kewang. Then we have no choice but to adopt a soft policy.

Let's take a step back from each other.

Since Sun Kewang wants to be the king of one word, he will really be the king of one word, so as not to make trouble in the end, but it will not be able to end. However, King Qin repeated. It can't be sealed. simply named him the Winged King.

This idea Emperor Longwu has had for a long time, but there is no suitable opportunity, Sun Kewang has just been named the king of the county, and he has been promoted to the prince for no reason, there must be a reasonable reason. But it didn't take long for the opportunity to come, and the transfer of the Western Army to attack Shaanxi was a barely justifiable reason.

"This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and it is ......," the more Emperor Longwu thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate. After several years of training. He already has a little experience in the art of the emperor, and it is not terrible to form a faction in the court. The key is that no one faction can dominate the country, and no one can fight against anyone, so that the emperor can calmly control the situation and implement his own governance strategy.

The same is true for the generals, except for the Chu army, there are no more soldiers to fight in the Southern Ming Dynasty, although Wang Kefan still knows how to advance and retreat, but the Chu army is too strong, which is a huge hidden danger.

In the past two years, although Emperor Longwu has vigorously organized and trained a new army, the gap has become wider and wider compared with the Chu army, which has become stronger and stronger. As for local warlords like Chen Bangfu and Jiao Lian, they are an order of magnitude higher than the Chu army, and they can't be put on the table.

"If the Western Army can obey the dispatch of the imperial court, Wang Kefan will have some scruples...... "Compared with Zheng Zhilong, compared with the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River of the Hongguang Dynasty, the Chu army is not arrogant and domineering, and Emperor Longwu does not think that Wang Kefan will rebel. But there are some things that must be prevented before they happen, and those who can compete with the Chu army are now only the Western Army, and Emperor Longwu did not expect to turn the Western Army into his own lineage, but only appropriately wooed and played a balancing role for the Chu army.

All in all, Sun Kewang was crowned as the winged king, and the court just lost face, but got the lining, and the gain was far greater than the pay. But what made Emperor Longwu feel helpless was that the biggest obstacle to this matter did not come from Chu Xun, but from other civil officials in the imperial court.

They hugged the ancestral system tightly, and did not agree to add Sun Kewang again, and Emperor Longwu had no choice but to ask Wang Kefan for support.

"This matter is very important, Rong Weichen think about it." This was a surprise attack for Wang Kefan, and he did not rush to answer, but frowned and thought about it, weighing the pros and cons.

Emperor Longwu didn't rush him, and after a while, Wang Kefan finally spoke.

"The Western Army is self-contained, and the imperial court is beyond the reach of Yunnan whips, this is all a matter on the surface, whether Sun Kewang is a prince or a county king, in fact, there is not much difference. It's just that an empty lord can be exchanged for 100,000 Western troops to serve, and Weichen thinks it is feasible. ”

Wang Kefan first set the tone, and then pointed out the problem: "But Sun Kewang is expected to be crowned the Wing King, and how should Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu be rewarded?" There are also Li Guo and Gao Yigong who broke into the camp, Jin Shenghuan of Nanchang, and Jiang Hao of Datong, if they are too favoritism, everyone will inevitably have grievances, and there will be more incidents in the future. ”

"I have also thought about this, I can only seal them together, otherwise it will indeed be unfavorable to the morale of the army. Li Guo and Jiang Hao are okay, Jin Shenghuan must not make a mess on his side, and let's also add the title of county king together. Emperor Longwu paused for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "In addition to a few of them, other meritorious officials can't forget, Zheng Damu worked hard in Xiamen, and his credit is not small, is it appropriate to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom?" ”

"The saint is wise, and the crowning of Zhu Chenggong as the prince of the country can boost the morale of the army and is conducive to the war against Nanzhili."

Give Zheng Chenggong a promotion, he should be able to send troops, right?

"Oh, I almost forgot one."

Emperor Longwu's smile was even stronger, he looked at Wang Kefan and said: "Although Yuntai is young, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, after the Battle of Huguang, you have just been promoted to Marquis of Liang, and in the blink of an eye, you have made the merit of the Battle of Nanchang, so let's do it, you and Zheng Damu together, they are all promoted to the Duke of the Kingdom." ”

"Thank you!" Wang Kefan knelt down and thanked him.

The Battle of Nanchang only repelled Tan Tai, Wang Kefan had just been promoted half a year ago, and when he came to Guilin this time, he didn't expect to get too many rewards, but it was no coincidence that he was catching up with Sun Kewang to become the prince, and it was a hitchhike.

Emperor Longwu's gaze became more and more crystal clear: "You and Zheng Damu are both young talents that I value, as long as you are loyal to the country, I will never be a prince of widowhood!" In the future, if we can recover our homeland and drive the Tartars back to the outside of the border, you and I will prosper the Ming Dynasty, and we will talk about it for the ages......"
