Amble? Zhang Pengxi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and after a slight hesitation, he said: "There are many heavy rains in summer, once these projects are slowed down, they may be wasted, and it is feasible to increase wages to retain migrant workers, but the gains outweigh the losses if farming is wasted." ”

Hearing this, Ma Qi and Xiao Yongzao were speechless, and they had to take care of farming and ensure the progress of the project, wouldn't this be a dilemma? The work-for-relief projects are all approved by Zhenwu himself, if there is a mistake in this matter, the study will not be pleasing in the first place, and after a long silence, Ma Qi said with a smile: "Yunqing has a good plan?" ”

Zhang Pengxi shook his head slightly, and said: "This fact is difficult to have both, this disaster relief, sufficient money and food, proper planning, all relief matters are arranged in an orderly manner, meticulous and thorough, especially rare is not to consume the slightest amount of national funds, the government and the opposition will inevitably receive rave reviews, but we can not leave a failure in the project of cash-for-work, which is criticized." ”

Hearing this, Ma Qi and Xiao Yongzao's expressions couldn't help but become solemn, it was related to Zhenwu's reputation, but it was not a trivial matter, and after a long silence, Ma Qi muttered and said: "The emperor has always acted with far-reaching thoughts, careful planning, alleviating the drought, and the people returning to their hometowns to farm, how could the emperor not expect it?" Why are so many cash-for-work projects allowed to commence at the same time? ”

Zhang Pengxi glanced up at him, this is a loss of the duty of a courtier, one of the major responsibilities of the study is to pick up and fill in the gaps, how can you expect Zhenwu to plan everything carefully? If Zhenwu didn't take it into account, wouldn't it be a bad thing? However, he couldn't think of a good way to refute this matter, so it was inconvenient to refute it, but he was secretly worried in his heart, and he would find an opportunity to probe Zhenwu's tone tomorrow.

The next morning, after the court, Zhenwu received Shi Shilun's express, the Ryukyu and Japan vassal envoys arrived in Tianjin, Zhenwu couldn't help but be happy when he saw it, and was looking for Japan to get some gold, his envoy came, it was really timely, as for the Ryukyu envoys. He didn't think much about it at all, for the Ryukyus, like Korea, were the most active in sending envoys to the capital for the Hajj, all for the duty-free trade. It is also a common thing to have a few batches in a year, and it is reasonable for the new monarch to ascend the throne and come to the Hajj, and he will not care.

In addition to being delighted, Zhenwu immediately thought that he could also use the Japanese mission's pilgrimage to implement a new system of clans, and after pondering for a while, he instructed Bao Fuquan, who was waiting on the side, to say: "Xuanlian County Wang Yinxi, Yibeile Yinxiang, the Minister of Shangfang in Beijing, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and others are here. ”

When he heard it, he called so many people to see him at the same time. Bao Fuquan didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Chirp." Standing up and cautious, the general repeated Zhenwu's will again, and when he saw Zhenwu nodding, he bowed out.

Not long after the early dynasty was dispersed, everyone had not had time to leave the palace, and immediately after receiving the order, they hurriedly returned to the Qianqing Palace, and they were also quite puzzled in their hearts, not knowing what had happened. Fang Cai dispersed, and then summoned them, and it also involved the Ministry of Rites. A group of people entered the Dongnuan Pavilion to salute and get up, and when they saw Zhenwu's expression as usual, they relaxed their hearts.

Seeing that a group of people stepped forward to kneel and play, Zhenwu said with a smile: "No courtesy, give a seat, and enjoy tea." After everyone sat down, he smiled and said: "I just received an excerpt from Shi Shilun, the governor of Zhili, the envoys of Ryukyu and Japan have arrived in Tianjin yesterday, you will discuss first." ”

The Ryukyu envoys had nothing to discuss, but the Japanese envoys had to be discussed. However, the Japanese envoy came to the Hajj, which was nothing more than a request for sealing, and then a peace of mind, what is there to discuss? Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be slightly surprised. However, none of the people present were vague, and they quickly thought of the rumors that Japan was going to readjust the relationship between the clans and vassals last year, and that Japan was a newly attached vassal state, so could it be that Sadumus intended to implement the new suzerain-vassal relationship in Japan, and then promote it to other vassal states? …,

Although I guessed Zhenwu's intentions, but everyone did not dare to speak rashly, most of the Qing Dynasty's clan policy was followed by the Ming Dynasty, or it can be said to follow the Qin and Han dynasties, because for thousands of years, the clan policy of various dynasties and generations has basically not changed, and if it changes rashly, no one knows what kind of situation will occur.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhenwu was not in a hurry, glanced at everyone, stopped his gaze on Chen Yuanlong, the Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and said after a little hesitation: "Chen Yuanlong, you are the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, you will talk about it first." ”

Seeing Zhenwu point to his head, Chen Yuanlong couldn't help but sigh unlucky, the Ministry of Rites Manshang Shuvar replied that he was also there, how could he point it on my head, this response, neither can Zhenwu's intentions be brushed off, nor can he set himself on fire, let alone pretend to be confused, otherwise Zhenwu will not be confused, and he may go to the cold bench.

With a slight sigh, he bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the tributary and canonization system of the Qing Dynasty's clan and vassal relationship has a long history, starting with the sub-feudal system of Zhou Tianzi, and by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the number of vassal states has reached more than 50.

This is not the first time that Japan has submitted to China, in the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cao Wei Dynasty, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Ming Dynasty and other periods, Japan was a vassal state of China, but since the former Ming Dynasty, Japan has broken away from the relationship with China's suzerainty and vassals.

In view of Japan's capriciousness and treachery, and the hostility of the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the dynasty, Wechen suggested that the suzerain-vassal relationship with Japan should be different from that of other vassal states. ”

"Wechen disagrees." As soon as Chen Yuanlong's voice fell, the Ministry of Rites replied and took it, "At the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Korea was also hostile, and now North Korea can be called a model of a vassal state, how can it favor one over the other, so it is an exception for Japan?" "North Korea is not a model either." Chen Yuanlong even retorted: "In the year of Jiashen, the former Ming Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Jiazi Day (60th anniversary), the Korean king Li Zhuo personally worshipped the former Ming Wanli Emperor with the 'Forbidden Garden Altar', and ordered the establishment of the 'Great Newspaper Altar' to worship the Wanli Emperor, but whenever his birthday, enthronement day, and death day, the Korean king will come to pay tribute in person, and the sons and grandsons will accompany him, every year.

North Korea so openly paid tribute to Emperor Ming, neither on the table to explain, nor for the plea, what is the intention? How can such a perverse act be exemplary? ”

Seeing the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites pinched up in public, everyone laughed secretly in their hearts, North Korea's public memorial to Emperor Ming was a matter of Kangxi forty-three years, and all the adults had heard of it, at that time Japan had not yet been annexed, and North Korea was a buffer zone between Liaodong and Japan in the Qing Dynasty, and its use value was still very obvious.

Kangxi also turned a deaf ear to this at that time, for decades, the Qing Dynasty pursued a policy of appeasement towards North Korea, as long as the DPRK implemented the principle of 'the great doctrine of things' and recognized it as a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, the Hajj continued, and the Qing Dynasty basically did not care about the affairs of North Korea.

But it was the first time Zhenwu heard about this, and his heart was moved at the moment, he was worried that he couldn't find the handle of North Korea, and there was such a good excuse? Leave this matter aside, and it can be used as a major crime for the expedition in the future.

Seeing Chen Yuanlong's merciless refutation, Val Da was secretly annoyed in his heart, but there was no way to refute this matter, it would only get darker and darker, and he had to keep silent at the moment.

Seeing that there was some coldness, Ma Qi groaned and said: "The relationship between the clans and vassals is very important, since they should be treated equally, the vassal states can be at peace with each other, if one is favored, the slaves may lay the root of the discord between the vassal states in the future, and Japan and Korea have always had grievances, and they are close neighbors, if they divide each other in vain, it is really inappropriate, and the servants implore the emperor to be careful." ”…,

These words can be regarded as the words of the old Cheng to seek the country, Zhenwu secretly praised, however, these vassal states around the Qing Dynasty such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam are all white-eyed wolves that cannot be raised, and it is best to incorporate them into the territory of the Qing Dynasty once and for all, and the province will turn its face and deny people in the future, or even bite back.

Lianjun Wang Yinxi, Yibeile Yinxiang both knew that Zhenwu had the intention of annexing the surrounding feudal states, listening to this, couldn't help but laugh at Ma Qiqi people worrying, Yinxiang didn't care whether he would be attacked, he wanted to lead the troops out in the future, naturally he had to support Zhenwu, a little groaning, he said: "Japan is different from other vassal states, since the past dynasties, the coastal vassal states have rarely seen invading China, but Japan is not, sending troops to Korea in the front, invading the coastal areas of the Yangtze River in the back, and colluding with the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which shows its wolf ambitions, only fetters, Fearing that it would be a disaster again in the future, the minister suggested that it should be strictly controlled, and it was not necessary to send troops to garrison it. ”

Sending troops to garrison Japan? Zhenwu couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, he couldn't spare his troops at the moment, and freeing his hands was not as simple as garrisoning.

Seeing that the old thirteen opened his mouth, the king of Lianjun Yinxi was not far behind, and followed closely: "The minister seconded the proposal, Japan is narrow and densely populated, and it is inevitable to expand outward. ”

The eighth and thirteenth opened their mouths, and everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and sent troops to garrison the coastal vassals. Or did you get the beggars of Zhenwu?

Wang Luo didn't have time to think about it, so he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has never sent troops to garrison the coastal vassal states, if you station troops in Japan, not to mention Japan's reaction, Korea, Ryukyu, Annam, Nanzhang, Siam, Burma and other coastal vassal states will inevitably be greatly frightened, and even break away from the clan system, causing the border to be restless, and Weichen prays that the emperor will think twice." ”

Xiao Yongzao also followed closely: "Japan is just a small country, the land is narrow and the people are poor, and the country is closed, my Qing Navy is now strong, and it can come to the city at any time, why do you need to garrison troops in Japan?" In addition, the great freshness occupies the vast land of Nanyang and Australia, and it has not yet been consolidated, so it is not suitable to make enemies with the coastal vassals at this time, and the minions secretly think that the top priority is to consolidate the Nanyang and Australia, and the coastal vassals should maintain the status quo.
