Although Qin Liangyu is an old man on the battlefield, she doesn't just know swords and guns, she doesn't think it's a good thing for the sudden sealing of the marquis, because in her opinion, her own woman was crowned the governor of Zuodu before, and now she is the second official to be crowned marquis or above in hundreds of years, which will undoubtedly make a big splash, and even be roasted on the fire.

Qin Liangyu can accept dying on the battlefield, but she doesn't want to be jealous and slandered by the ministers because the official is too prominent, and her decades of eunuch life have also made her deeply understand what it means to be terrible, so she simply knelt down without thinking about it: "Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your fate, the position of the prince is noble and noble, and the minister is just a woman of the toast, so she is really shameless to receive this honor." ”

"Uh", Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Qin Liangyu to refuse, in the final analysis, although he has been the emperor for more than ten years, he has not yet seen through everyone's hearts, in his opinion, he named Qin Liangyu as a marquis, Qin Liangyu must be as excited as Wang Siren was suddenly promoted to the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but he didn't expect Qin Liangyu to directly reject the hereditary position of marquis.

Qin Liangyu naturally knew that her direct rejection of Zhu Youxiao in front of so many people would definitely make His Majesty Zhu Youxiao dislike, but she didn't want to become the second Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui father and son, and not long after being crowned queen, she was beheaded all over the house and ended up in disrepute.

Although Qin Liangyu is also the first time to meet today's son Zhu Youxiao, but her understanding of Zhu Youxiao is not shallow, in her opinion, the current emperor is a very ruthless master, decisive and atmospheric, never procrastinating when sealing you as a prince, but also not dragging when killing you, just as simply.

Qin Liangyu knew that although the white pole soldiers of his Shizhu Tusi had made remarkable contributions in the pacification of the Extravagant Rebellion, they had not reached the point where they were worthy of being feuded, not to mention that they were still Tujia, although the Ming Dynasty did not stick to the distinction between Han and Yi for the appointment of officials, but in the end there was a difference between Han and Yi, not to mention that over the years, there were many restless people in the southwest Tusi, first Yang Yinglong and then two Tusi of Lu'an, the imperial court has been very worried about the Southwest Tusi, and now the so-called reform pioneer Ma Shiying has been the governor of Sichuan, and it is a signal to change the land and return to the stream. And at this time, and now His Majesty suddenly wants to make himself a marquis, is this a sign that he wants to move his own stone pillar toast?

Although his own Shizhu Tusi made great contributions in quelling the rebellion of Lu'an, but in the end, it is the most powerful Tusi in the entire Sichuan region, and the white pole soldiers under his command are also the only military force that can threaten the local court regime in Sichuan, and the stone pillar is located near the important town of Chongqing.

Throw away their own stone pillar Tusi because of the end of the familiar fan (deep degree of sinicization) for many years has been under the orders of the imperial court, from the historical stories of the past dynasties, we can know that as an emperor who aspires to rule the world alone, it is difficult to tolerate the existence of such a semi-independent regime with a certain military strength as his own Shizhu Tusi, and it is also the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need for North Korea.

Even Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui's father and son also ended up being executed by Ling Chi, if he accepted the position of this marquis, although he had meager merits, he was afraid that his majesty would see him as having the ambition to further improve his political status, and he began to have a grudge against his own stone pillar toast.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu would never dare to accept the position of marquis, she would rather make Zhu Youxiao feel unhappy now than end up in ruin in the future.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know that Qin Liangyu thought so much, he knew that there were many Tuzhi counties in the southwest area, and these semi-independent villages rebelled from time to time, and they were in the deep mountains, even if they suppressed a rebellion of no more than a few thousand people, the imperial court would pay a great financial price, and the Yang Yinglong rebellion in the Wanli period was an example.

Now the Ming Dynasty is peaceful all over the world, and the national prestige is manifested in the north and south, except for the European and Roman countries in the west that have not been deterred, in the whole Asia, there is no longer any force that threatens the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao will have a period to take care of this southwest matter.

Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the rebellions in the southwestern provinces have occurred in almost every dynasty and every generation, although they do not affect the foundation of the central government, but there are also several rebellions that directly affect the entire state of the Ming Dynasty, such as the orthodox period of Si Renfa and Si Lun Fa The change cost the Ming Dynasty a lot of money, and laid the foundation for the later Tumubao Change.

During the Jiajing period, the rebellion of Wei Yinbao and Huang Chaomeng of the Gutian clan also caused great financial pressure on the later pacification of the Japanese rebellion and the fight against the northern Alta.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to continue to spend a large amount of financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty on this endless Tusi Rebellion in the future, so he wanted to directly bulldoze these Tusi once and for all, and in this process, Shizhu Tusi will undoubtedly play a very important role, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid of the military strength of Shizhu Tusi, with the three-dimensional military combat strength of the Ming Dynasty army now, there is no enemy of the Ming army in the whole world, because whether it is combat ideology or equipment is no longer an order of magnitude.

But Zhu Youxiao had to consider the cost of Shizhu Tusi supporting himself and betraying himself to change the land and return to the stream, if the Shizhu Tusi was on the side of the imperial court, the imperial court could use the Shizhu Tusi to pacify other rebellious Tusi at least let those Tusi understand that even the Shizhu Tusi obediently followed the imperial court's policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, not to mention that other toasts whose arms were far less thick than Shizhu Tusi's arms also dared to resist the imperial court?

In addition, the white pole soldiers of Shizhu Tusi are good at jungle warfare, and the logistics cost is relatively small, once there is a Tusi rebellion, using the white pole soldiers of Shizhu Tusi to quell the rebellion of some stubborn Tusi in the future can not only weaken the strength of Shizhu country, but also reduce military expenditure.

After all, the cost of dispatching a battalion of white pole soldiers and a battalion of the Ming Army is not the same, and it is more than enough to deal with these Tusi soldiers with white pole soldiers.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Youxiao wants to seal Qin Liangyu as a marquis and hereditary replacement, since he will use the white pole soldiers of the Shizhu Tusi to contribute to his cause of returning from the southwest land reform, the marquis, he will not be stingy and reluctant to open, and he is also trustworthy about the performance of the Shizhu Tusi in history.

Zhu Youxiao's wishful thinking was to use the seal of Qin Liangyu as a marquis as a signal to appease the restless heart due to the change of land and return to the stream, and at the same time encourage Shizhu Tusi to continue to stand on the side of the court unswervingly.

But what she didn't expect was that the old general Qin Liangyu actually rejected his overtures, was it because the gift of her hereditary marquis's seal was too much gold that scared her, or did she have a woman's unique sense of safety in addition to the pride and ambition of a man, and guessed that she wanted her family to shed more blood in the future?

Zhu Youxiao was indeed a little annoyed, this old general Qin, who had always been respected by him, actually rejected him, not only because he couldn't save face, but also because his plan was completely disrupted.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the scholar Li Mingrui, maybe Li Mingrui, the old fox, can understand this situation, and he can also find a proper way, it is best not to speak first, after all, as an emperor, he can't beg this Qin Liangyu to accept the title of marquis.

Li Mingrui also sensed His Majesty Zhu Youxiao's signal, so he stood up without hesitation, but in fact he didn't know much about this Qin Liangyu, as a civil servant, he had never paid attention to military attachés, not to mention that he was just an old woman from the Tujia family, as a dignified cabinet scholar, Li Mingrui had never paid attention to Qin Liangyu.

But now that His Majesty wants him to come out and say a few words, he has to stand up, temporarily suppress the surprise of why His Majesty values Qin Liangyu so much and don't mention it, Li Mingrui guessed Qin Liangyu's concerns in a turn of his mind, he is not Zhu Youxiao, he knows Qin Liangyu's performance in the original history, so he can also understand the feelings of a military minister from a non-Han nationality after he was suddenly named a hereditary marquis, but he is afraid that the surprise is more of a feeling of great disaster.

So, Li Mingrui saluted Zhu Youxiao very respectfully: "Your Majesty, presumably the old general Qin thinks that the position of the marquis is too low, and the Wu father and son can still be crowned kings, why can't the old general Qin get the ears of a country?" ”

Li Mingrui's words are not only for Zhu Youxiao but also for Qin Liangyu, the so-called authorities are fascinated, and the light is clear, Your Majesty Zhu Youxiao has been in the top position for a long time, and he is used to playing with ministers with imperial power between applause, thinking that ministers are all cheap goods and lackeys, reward you carrots, and the ministers will be happy to continue, and as everyone knows, ministers are also intelligent creatures, and they will not doubt whether there is a big stick raised high behind the carrot.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao heard Li Mingrui's words, he understood and knew what Qin Liangyu was worried about.

And Li Mingrui's words, after saying it to Qin Liangyu, Qin Liangyu naturally understood that Li Mingrui was adding fuel to the fire and deliberately provoking himself, the implication was obvious, if he did not accept the hereditary position of the marquis, he was too ambitious, he disliked the position of the marquis too low, and he was unwilling to accept it, and the reason why he refused was to force the current saint to confer his own national prince, and even to be like Guan Ningjun and Wu's father and son.

Qin Liangyu has never hated a civil official as much as he does now, especially a civil official like Li Mingrui who reverses black and white, causing himself to carry a black pot of dissatisfaction and ambition for no reason.

Li Mingrui's words are very clear, no matter what you Qin Liangyu are worried about, His Majesty the Emperor's golden words, you must accept it, otherwise you just want to force His Majesty the Emperor to give you a bigger title, you are ambitious.

Zhu Youxiao admired Li Mingrui's cunning, and forced Qin Liangyu into an embarrassing situation with one sentence, and Zhu Youxiao also pulled down his face quite cooperatively: "Does General Qin really think that the position of marquis is too small and refuses to bow down, and wants to make you a prince of the country, or even a prince?" ”

Qin Liangyu, who was suddenly and directly cheated by Li Mingrui, dared to be hypocritical again, and His Majesty's question was tantamount to giving her an ultimatum: Do you want this marquis, or continue to swear allegiance to the imperial court, or if you don't, you have greater ambitions, and the Wu family and his son are all the way.

"Wechen didn't dare to disobey His Majesty's words, Wechen accepted His Majesty's marquis's title, a slave family, but he didn't expect to get this honor today, and he was so happy that he was a little carried away, so that he just said some disrespectful words, and His Majesty forgave his sins, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Qin Liangyu doesn't understand the routines of officialdom, if she doesn't understand, she is a fanyi person and a woman, how can she successfully ascend to the throne and become a heroine among the women of the moment, and also live in an official position, becoming the first person in the entire southwest military attaché.

Therefore, as soon as Li Mingrui said this, she was busy changing her attention and accepted the title of this hereditary reckless marquis, with Li Mingrui's words, you have to accept it whether you want it or not, otherwise it is ill-intentioned.

"So very good, Li Mingrui, spread this matter all over the world, tell Liu Ruoyu, let him spread it everywhere with the people of Dongchang, spread it all over the world, and let everyone in the world know that I will not treat anyone who has made outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty", Zhu Youxiao said very excitedly, his purpose is to let the whole world know the story of Qin Liangyu, In order for most of the Tusi or Zhaimen who are still on the side of the court to continue to be loyal to the court, they must know what kind of benefits they will get from following the court to quell the rebellion and the Tusi rebellion.

Qin Liangyu glared at Li Mingrui quite unpleasantly, but this stare was really like an eagle looking at a wolf, and Li Mingrui couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Li Mingrui just smiled faintly, he naturally knew that this old general Qin hated himself in his heart, but what could he do, he was solving the problem for His Majesty, why should he care about the face of you, the old general, and besides, you embarrassed Your Majesty, as a minister, naturally you want to help Your Majesty get back a game.

At this time, Sichuan Governor Ma Shiying and other magistrates were also quite knowledgeable, and directly in front of His Majesty, he congratulated Qin Liangyu and said: "Congratulations to the old general for entering the ranks of nobles, the first female marquis in the past two hundred years, which can be described as a rare thing that has never been seen in the past." ”

Qin Liangyu naturally knew that Ma Shiying and other magistrates did not really congratulate themselves, civil and military officials have always had mustards, and now they congratulate themselves in front of His Majesty, naturally in order to behave in front of His Majesty, and take the opportunity to embarrass themselves even more, but Qin Liangyu has no choice but to scold these people in her heart for being old foxes, the officialdom is so hypocritical and harmonious, she must adapt to such an environment.

It's just that when Li Mingrui came to congratulate Qin Liangyu, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but snort, and only said: "The old man congratulates each other, the poor and lowly can't afford it", Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing when he saw this, he didn't want to see the meaning of the old general's joke, so he hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Don't be like this, you Aiqing, it is a taboo for the country to discord." ”

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Qin Liangyu and Li Mingrui both blushed slightly with embarrassment, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" At this time, Zhu Youxiao also mentioned Ma Shiying: "Ma Shiying, in the future, you still have to rely on the loyal marquis." ”

Ma Shiying also hurriedly said yes, he naturally knew that His Majesty was paving the way for his reform by appointing Qin Liangyu as a marquis.
