However, it is obvious that Li Dongyang still has something to say, although Liu Jian also knows that what Li Dongyang said is not wrong, but he still feels a little unhappy in his heart, so he has to wait patiently for Li Dongyang to continue. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Dongyang immediately said: "I just said so much, in fact, I just want Liu Gong to understand that Liu Chengfeng is deeply favored by the saint, and he is a relative of the emperor, and this person is thoughtful, and he has no handle to show people, it is really more difficult to move him down than to ascend to the sky, as long as the emperor is still there, the prince is still there, Liu Chengfeng can't be defeated, but there is no way to deal with Liu Chengfeng." ”

"I want to hear about it." Liu Jian sighed and asked.

Li Dongyang said: "Since it can't be brought down, then why not think of another way, for example, this time, if Liu Chengfeng succeeds in quelling the rebellion, the court implores the palace to enter the knighthood for Liu Chengfeng?" ”

As soon as Li Dongyang said this, the two people in the attic room were stunned for a moment.

But immediately, they all understood Li Dongyang's thoughts.

Liu Chengfeng is already a duke, and as a duke, if he goes any further, he will be the king of the county. Not to mention whether Liu Chengfeng is qualified or not, although the king of the county is high and powerful, there is one that is customized, that is, all the county kings must be in the domain, that is to say, without the summons in the palace, they cannot enter the Beijing Division, once they become the king of the domain, they will no longer be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and they will no longer continue to stay in the Beijing Division, as long as Liu Chengfeng leaves the Beijing Division, even if he is asked to be the emperor of one side, so what? As long as it can't affect the court and won't influence the government, the cabinet will not be interested in caring about him.

Li Dongyang's method is really effective, on the surface, it seems to have put Liu Chengfeng high, but Liu Chengfeng, who left the Beijing Division, is like a tiger in Pingyang, so there is nothing to worry about.

But...... Liu Jian seemed a little unwilling, but now it is obvious that only this method is more effective, Liu Jian can either let this Liu Chengfeng continue to expand, or he will be separated, obviously the latter is in the best interests of the cabinet.

However, another problem arises, Liu Chengfeng is not a clan, even if he succeeds in quelling the rebellion, he is crowned king...... According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how prominent his merits are, this procedure will not be able to go.

Liu Jian saw that Li Dongyang looked like he was in his chest, so he said: "Binzhi, although the suppression of the rebellion is a great contribution to the dynasty, but if you want to be crowned king, I am afraid that there is still something missing." ”

Li Dongyang smiled slightly: "Duke Liu is wrong, in fact, it is difficult to say that this king is difficult, easy to say, whether to seal the king or not, not because of the ancestors' law, but whether the emperor has this idea." If the palace is unwilling, and there is an ancestral law there, this matter is naturally as difficult as ascending to the sky, but what if the emperor has this idea? Rules are dead, but people are alive, so in my humble opinion, the biggest question in this matter is whether the emperor has this idea. ”

Liu Jian nodded, there are so many laws of the ancestors, and I haven't seen a few of them abide by them, what the emperor thinks is the most important thing. Liu Jian couldn't help but say: "Then let's talk about it, does the emperor have this idea?" ”

"Yes." Li Dongyang said without hesitation: "What the emperor wants is the wealth of the Liu family for generations, and now that the emperor and the crown prince are here, although the wealth of the Liu family can be guaranteed, what about after the third and fourth generations?" At that time, the relationship between the royal family and the Liu family has been weakened, there is no long-term wealth in this world, how many people in this capital have been prominent for a while, and in the end they have not fallen? As long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, the Liu family will be rich and noble for all generations, and the heirs of Princess Taikang will naturally have no worries. However, although the emperor has this idea, but this matter is too big, so it can only be buried in his heart, if at this time, Liu Chengfeng has made a great contribution, and someone else adds fuel to the fire, and asks Liu Chengfeng to be the king, this matter will be half of it. ”

Liu Jian took a deep breath and nodded secretly, but then frowned again: "There seems to be no such precedent in this dynasty, although the rules are dead and people are alive, but if there is no high-sounding reason, I am afraid of ......"

Li Dongyang smiled slightly and said: "The reason is not nothing, according to the law, a different surname cannot be crowned a king during his lifetime, but what if it is a vassal king?" ”

"Vassal King?" Liu Jian frowned and said, "You mean to say?" ”

Li Dongyang Zhengse said: "Yes, I heard that Lianzhou has annexed several counties in Annan, and recently because Annan owes a large number of loans to Lianzhou on credit, Annan is unable to repay, so he has to merge several counties into Lianzhou, and now although this Lianzhou is the government, in fact, its territory has expanded more than twice as much as the previous Lianzhou, of which seventy percent of the land belongs to Annan, these lands are naturally not my Ming, but now they belong to Lianzhou, to be honest, this matter is also a hot potato for the imperial court, That Liu took advantage of the wind and was bent on annexing the land of the Annan people, but in the eyes of outsiders, I don't know if our court has coveted these lands for a long time, this kind of wild land, the court is not much interested, so this Lianzhou logically speaking, in fact, it has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty, at least the court does not recognize these territories. ”

Liu Jian nodded silently.

This is not wrong, the Ming Dynasty is not interested in Annan, because of these lands, countries think that the Ming Dynasty's encroachment on the land of the vassal country is too worthless, so all along, although the Lianzhou Mansion has been expanding, but the imperial court has always taken a blind attitude towards the Lianzhou Mansion, that is to say, you have embezzled a county, the imperial court only does not know, neither will it be included in the territory, nor set up any yamen, all as if this incident did not happen at all, you Liu Chengfeng wants to take care of this matter, anyway, the imperial court does not care.

Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Liu Gong think about it, although Liu Chengfeng's fief is in Lianzhou now, it stands to reason that his territory is no longer the territory of my Ming Dynasty, it stands to reason that he is the lord of a foreign domain, and there is no difference between him and the king of Annan, but he lacks the recognition of the imperial court." Of course, Liu Chengfeng's other identity is also my courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but no matter what, he Liu Chengfeng has two identities, he is both a vassal and a minister, if he is just a courtier with a foreign surname, according to the rules of my Ming Dynasty, naturally he can't be crowned king, but if he is the lord of a foreign domain, he is the lord of the domain, that is, the lord of the country, as long as the court recognizes it, issues a golden book, and is not allowed to be crowned as a king? ”

This explanation seems to be very complicated, but it is actually very simple to operate, that is, to grasp the fact that Liu Chengfeng has territory outside the Ming Dynasty to make things bigger, so, and then add fuel to the fire, then it will be justified.

Liu Jianmao suddenly opened his eyes, and couldn't help laughing and said: "If it is the vassal king of the foreign domain, it is not bad, he Liu Chengfeng is messing around in Lianzhou anyway, and the court is not interested in taking care of it, let him be the lord of the foreign domain, how he will make trouble in Lianzhou in the future, we can also save worry...... Second, since he is the lord of a foreign vassal country, he can't enter Beijing at other times except for the annual court, so this method is good, so let him be the king of Annam. It's just this matter, how to start? You have to have a name. ”

Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Actually, this is also simple, you have to come step by step, this is the beginning, naturally it is the first to build this momentum, for example, Lianzhou is not my Ming territory, we must let the people of the world know, this year, the newspaper has made the news Liu Tong faster, why not use the newspaper to introduce the general situation of this Lianzhou, just say that although Liu Chengfeng's fiefdom is Lianzhou, but its domain is all over Annan, and the name is not rightly......"

Liu Jian also understood what Li Dongyang meant, and said with a smile: "When this news comes out, Xueer will definitely defend Liu Chengfeng, and he must say that this is the land donated by Annan, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Li Dongyang nodded, and then Liu Jian's words said: "Then let's give them another step, and say that although it is a gift from Annan, it is not a gift to the imperial court, so it is still not the territory of my Ming Dynasty, neither the territory of the Ming Dynasty, nor is it owned by Annan now, so ......"

After hearing this, Liu Jian couldn't help laughing, and said: "Then at this time, if someone goes to the book, he wants to give Liu Chengfeng a name, as long as the emperor's mind moves, then this Lianzhou may become the Yue Kingdom or the Dian Kingdom, and this Liu Chengfeng is naturally the King of Yue or the King of Dian, so that there is no difference between his status and the King of Annam, and naturally there is no reason to continue to stay in Beijing. Even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to control His Royal Highness the prince. ”

Li Dongyang nodded his head: "Liu Gonggao." ”

Liu Jian pressed his hand: "What does the old man have to say, this idea is all you came up with, to be honest, we and Liu Chengfeng are now in tension, but we are instigating to put a crown on Liu Chengfeng's head, the old man is very uncomfortable, but then again, for the sake of the country, for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince, you can only do this now, Binzhi, this matter is left to you to deal with, those newspapers, you find a few reliable ones to spread the news first, step by step." ”

Li Dongyang said with a straight face: "Don't worry, Duke Liu, this matter is on me." ”

Li Dongyang's mood at this time is not bad, in fact, Liu Jian and Liu Chengfeng have turned against each other, but he Li Dongyang does not, after all, his clan brother is still on Liu Chengfeng's side, although everyone is their master, but it is better to avoid conflict or avoid conflict, now it's okay, as long as this thing can be done, he Liu Chengfeng will naturally be his soil emperor, and the cabinet is still the cabinet, everyone will not violate the river water in the future, as for his own clan, now he has won the trust of Liu Chengfeng, I am afraid that he will inevitably go to Lianzhou to be Liu Chengfeng's right-hand man, Becoming the right-hand man of the vassal king, this ending doesn't seem too bad.
