The next day, the imperial history of the Zuodu Emperor Zhen Ji was on the book, impeached Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, for harboring the criminals, forming a party for personal gain, obstructing the Qincha in handling the case, and requesting the imperial court to remove his title and hand it over to Dali Temple for verification.

On the recital, the ministers were shocked, and there were many discussions, and the edict was issued, and the prince and the first assistant presided over the court meeting.

More than three days later, the crown prince Zhu Changluo and the first assistant Wang Xijue were ordered to summon the officials above the three grades in Beijing to discuss in the Wenhua Palace.

Above the court, the ministers were surging, and they impeached Xu Hongji one after another, thinking that his title should be removed and the law and discipline of the country should be revealed.

And Jingzhong has been rumored that the Dingguo Mansion will protect Xu Hongji at any cost, but also at this moment was self-defeating, Dingguo Gong Xu Wenbi, from the beginning of entering the Wenhua Palace, did not say a word, as always, as a wood carving clay sculpture.

After the court discussion, Zhu Changluo played truthfully, so the emperor decreed the cabinet, saying that the Duke of Wei inherited from the lineage of King Zhongshan, and had the merit of founding the country, and the descendants of later generations were not good, but they should not insult the heroic spirit of the ancestors, and removed Xu Hongji from the title of Duke of Wei, so that the Ministry of Rites selected a person with both ability and political integrity from the branch of the Xu Mansion to inherit the position of the Duke of Wei.

Zhu Changluo has already done what should be done, and Xu Wenbi should worry about the rest of the things, and Zhu Changluo has other things to worry about at this moment.

The Ministry of War.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Although Zhu Changluo is nominally in charge of the household department, in fact, there is only one thing he needs to worry about, the peace talks with the Japanese state, and this matter is jointly presided over by the military department and the household department, so Zhu Changluo came directly to the military department.

In today's lobby, it is not full, but take out one at random, all of them are figures that should not be underestimated in the court, in addition to Shi Xing, the secretary of the military department, Zhang Yangmeng, the head of the household department, and Fei Jiajin, the left governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion, and Li Rusong, the left governor of the right army.

Among them, Shi Xing, Zhang Yangmeng, and Li Rusong were all hosts of the peace talks, while Fei Jiajin was pulled over by Zhu Changluo.

After each of them sat down, Zhu Changluo spoke.

"Shi Shangshu, my father ordered the palace to assist the adults in presiding over the peace talks, and several of them are all people who participated in the whole process, so please tell me about the specific situation!"

In fact, for Zhang Yangmeng and Li Rusong, these are needless to say, but there is still a Fei Jiajin sitting on the field, so I have to say a few more words.

"Your Royal Highness, after the victory of our army, the Wa State sent an envoy to request peace talks, and the ministers presided over the matter under the holy order, and drew up the Wa State Surrender Table, which has roughly three items, one of them, the Wa State fully withdrew its troops from Korea, and the oath will never be committed again, and the second is that the Wa State is a vassal country of the Ming Dynasty, and the Wa King is canonized by the Ming Dynasty and will never rebel forever, and third, the Wa State must pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty with a total of 20 million taels of silver to make up for the loss of the Ming Dynasty's military expenses!"

Shi Xing got up and said with a deep groan.

"At the beginning, the person who presided over the peace talks was named Ishida Mitsunari, who claimed that he could not decide the matter with full authority, and said that in order to show the sincerity of the Japanese country, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Toyotomi Hideyori was already rushing to the capital, and the peace talks were temporarily shelved!"

"What about the Liaodong Army? Can the remnants of the Japanese army be received? ”

Zhu Changluo frowned slightly, turned his head and asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness, after the war, the minister was ordered to surrender, received a total of more than 70,000 remnants of the Japanese army, after receiving the imperial edict, the minister took some of the elite and high-level officials back to Beijing to offer prisoners, as for its remaining troops, it was left on the Korean border, leaving 60,000 elite guards!"

Regarding the situation of the war, Li Rusong knew best, and when he heard Zhu Changluo ask, he replied.

Zhu Changluo nodded slightly, this important person is still detained, everything is easy to do.

"Your Highness rest assured, the ministers have already taken precautions for this matter, although the Japanese country is defeated, there are still tens of thousands of troops, not to be taken lightly, among the 60,000 troops left, most of them are the elite of our army, which is enough to restrain a group of remnants of the defeated generals!"

Soon after, the new mission of the Wa Kingdom rushed to the capital division, and the peace talks were also taken over by a man named Tokugawa Ieyasu, who accepted the request made by the Ming Dynasty, but also put forward his own requirements, and the total number of them was also three, one of them, the throne of the Wa Kingdom was inherited by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the second was that the Wa Kingdom submitted to the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty wanted to release the tens of thousands of troops seized to maintain the stability of the Wa State, and the third was that the Wa State could not support the tribute of 20 million taels of silver, and could only pay half of it at most! However, he was willing to make amends for this, and let Toyotomi Hideyori's younger brother Toyotomi Hideji stay in Beijing as a hostage, in order to show the sincerity of the Wa Kingdom to submit to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Shi Xing paused, and when he saw Zhu Changluo's gaze turn back, he continued.

"Dreaming!"

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Changluo listened, he sneered.

This Tokugawa Ieyasu is really a character, I am afraid that he has figured out the temperament of the Ming Dynasty, these opinions, the scale is in place, it seems to be very reasonable, but it can't hide it from Zhu Changluo.

"This ...... Does Your Highness think there is something wrong? ”

Seeing Zhu Changluo's expression, Shi Xing was a little surprised and asked.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he also felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu's conditions were reasonable.

However, Zhu Changluo did not answer him, but turned his head and asked Li Rusong.

"What do you think of Tokugawa Ieyasu's conditions?"

Li Rusong frowned, but he was a little hesitant, you know, marching and fighting is his business, but this kind of peace talk is really not something he is good at.

Although he is also a member of the peace talks in name, he actually never expresses his views on specific matters, after all, the peace talks are Wenchen's business, and he is not easy to interfere with, and the biggest role for him and the past is that every time he talks peace, he sits in the back, and the opposite side is uneasy with a murderous aura.

You must know that it was under the command of Li Rusong that the Japanese army collapsed, and the Japanese people already had a strong sense of fear for Li Rusong.

However, this situation has changed since the arrival of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

This seemingly unassuming leader and minister of the Wa Kingdom does not seem to be affected by him in the slightest.

However, although he usually doesn't speak, but Zhu Changluo asked, he couldn't help but answer, groaning slightly, Li Rusong said thoughtfully.

"Your Highness, I don't know what Your Highness thinks is wrong, but if you are in the army, the defeated army will not be qualified to put forward any conditions!"

Zhu Changluo nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to Shi Xingdao.

"Shi Shangshu understands? The general of the defeated army should take what he wants, where did he have the courage to put forward conditions for him! ”

The real problem is that this is not a peace negotiation between the two sides on an equal footing, but the disposition of the defeated side by the victors, and the question is not whether Tokugawa Ieyasu's conditions are reasonable, but that he is not qualified to put them forward at all!
