Chapter 857 - Dispose of it according to the "Rites".
First of all, I wish you all a happy New Year 2016, all your wishes come true, good health and success. Then tell you about the update plan of "The Traitorous World". January 2016 will be the time when "The Adulterous Male" will be completed, and Rollo's new book is already being prepared, hoping to be uploaded in early March. In this new book, Luo Luo will write back the story of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and will write as fun and interesting as possible, of course, he will continue to open his mind, and look forward to everyone's support. The Great Lorro
The current time is already February of the eighth year of the Great Ming Dao, and according to the Western calendar, it is already March of 1272. Time flies, and people don't catch anything, and they disappear with a sound.
These days, a lot of things are still happening here in Daming. One of the most noteworthy is that the Ming Emperor approved the establishment of three autonomous cities in Northern Mingzhou: Xinxianyang, Xinyingdu and Xinjinyang. New Xianyang is the original Mingmen Port, which is almost the location of Vancouver City in history; Xinying is located in the south of Mingmen Bay, about 400 miles away from Xinxianyang, which is about the location of Seattle City in later generations; The new Jinyang is the original Jinshan City.
After Chen Dexing officially approved the autonomy of the three cities, the urban construction office of the three cities and the provisional city council organized a group of immigrants, and they also set off in the second half of the seventh year of the Great Ming Road. Most of the members of the immigration group were stewards, men, coolies, and bodyguards sent by various wealthy merchants in Jiangdu, Mingdu, and Tanggu to fight the front station. Of course, everyone carries a gun.
The three autonomous cities of Mingzhou they went to all used the name of the ancient capital of China and crowned with the word "new", which naturally has a meaning. Chen Dexing will use the name of the ancient Chinese kingdom to name the future Sixteen Kingdoms of the Northern Ming Dynasty. The country with New Xianyang as its capital will be "Qin". The capital of Xinying is "Chu", and the capital of Xinjin Yang is "Jin".
The three kingdoms of "Qin", "Chu" and "Jin" have not yet been formally established. However, the monarchs have already been arranged, namely Chen Changkong, the Duke of Qin, Chen Changsheng, the Duke of Chu, and Chen Changhong, the Duke of Jin. The three are the sons of Li Cuixian, Mo Yingniang and Bao Yin.
And so it is divided. In fact, it is all the meaning of Queen Li Cuixian. Originally, Chen Dexing wanted to seal it according to the age of the sons, the older ones were sealed first, and the younger ones were sealed later. However, Li Cuixian asked the two sons of the fifth and sixth in line to be "courteous", and gave the future Jin Kingdom to Baoyin's son, that is, Chen Dexing's seventh son Chen Changhong. And the purpose of this comity is naturally to consolidate the "harem alliance" of Li Cuixian, Baoyin and Mo Yingniang.
In this regard, Chen Dexing naturally expressed his support. He has been an emperor for so many years, so he naturally knows that if there is a harem, there will be a palace fight. And if you want to keep the struggle in the harem within the scope of relaxation and control, it is nothing more than to support a virtuous queen.
And Li Cuixian is quite scheming. But the amount of equipment is not small, it is not that other women cannot be tolerated, and it will not tell right and wrong. And her stomach and body are fighting again, and at the age of 30, she is still playing the role of "glorious mother". In the winter of the sixth year of Tiandao, he added a daughter to Chen Dexing, and in the autumn of the seventh year of Tiandao, he became pregnant with a child again.
is rushing to give birth to children with this momentum, and the position of the head of the harem is already untouchable. And the harem boss has a solid position and can convince the public (so who can give birth to disobey?). The harmony on the surface of the harem can naturally be maintained.
This principle is actually the same as establishing a prince. As long as the crown prince's position is secure, the brothers below will naturally settle down.
And Chen Dexing's eldest son Chen Changan was born to determine the title of the prince, and Chen Dexing made him the prince as soon as he became the emperor. This prince is now twelve years old, and he just graduated from the Imperial City Academy last year - that is, he graduated from elementary school!
It is different from those former princes who received "imperial education" in the palace. Chen Dexing's crown prince received a school education. Although this school is located in the north and south of the two Daming Palaces.
At present, the three-level education system of Mongolian learning, middle school and university in the Ming Dynasty has begun to take shape. Of course, this education system is based on the modern education of later generations, but the days of school and holidays are different from those of later generations. Each grade level starts in February. Until December. There are two holidays a year, in January and July. It coincided with the day when Chen Dexing went north to Beijing and south to Jiangdu.
After Chen Dexing went north to Beijing this time. The crown prince Chen Changan was promoted to middle school with relatively good grades.
At the same time, he looked for the "Taishi" and "Young Master" who taught the emperor's learning. It was also put on the agenda. Naturally, there was a lot of competition from all sides, and the Cabinet Office and the Fourth Military Department both proposed several candidates for the junior division, and Empress Li Cuixian recommended her grandfather Wang Wentong as the imperial master.
However, Chen Dexing has not finally made up his mind, this matter is not in a hurry anyway, the crown prince is only twelve years old after all.
Now for Chen Dexing, the most urgent thing is to visit the little West!
One is the Tianzhu problem, one is the "great hero" Zhu Sijiu, and the other is the battle of Europa. These are all things that are not easy to deal with, and Chen Dexing must go to them!
The sound of footsteps outside the study of Zichen Hall sounded softly, Chen Dexing glanced up, and saw Ku Ballun carefully pushing the door in. This little girl has now fully integrated into Chen Dexing's court and has become Chen Dasheng's follower. She followed everywhere she went, and she also acted as a little secretary - she would send the pieces and documents that the secretariat had sorted out.
"Sage, this is sent by the Secretariat." The tall little girl in the Taoist robe entered the room with a large stack of concertographs, placed them on the table in front of Chen Dexing, and then bowed respectfully.
Chen Dexing was flipping through a report sent by Monk Liu, the general of the Western Expeditionary Army, which reported a series of great victories won by the Western Expeditionary Army...... Zhu Sijiu's contribution is very great! The khanate of busy brother Timur has perished, and busy brother Timur himself helped the coffin to surrender! And the Golden Horde Abha was also defeated in the vicinity of Kuyu, losing most of the 120,000 troops, and more than 40,000 prisoners were captured by the Western Army alone!
There is no way to hide such a great achievement in Daming, a country with a fairly free press, and there is no reason to hide it...... No matter what happened to Zhu Sijiu, the 100,000 soldiers he commanded had made great contributions to the country. If there is no reward for meritorious service, who will be willing to go on an expedition for the country in the future?
"Sage." He didn't leave immediately, and after saluting, he stepped forward and took out a copy of the pile of papers she had sent. His hands were handed to Chen Dexing. "The secretary of the secretariat, Wang Dami, explained that this excerpt from the Atlantic Governor's Mansion is very important!"
"Oh?" Chen Dexing took the fold from Ku Ballun's hand. It was found that there was also a folded piece of stationery inside. He took out the letter paper first and looked at it, but it was not written in the cover, but a letter written by Liu Xiaoyuan, who had already become a Mongolian magistrate!
The letter, written in the voice of a Mongol magistrate, persuaded Chen Dexing to allow the Mongols to establish rule in Europa. The reason is also very simple, because the rule of the Mongols in Europa is completely in the interests of the "yellow race of the East"!
The Mongols are cutting off the cultural heritage of the Europa people in their own territories, exterminating their written language, exterminating their elites, and completely implementing a policy of ignorance of the people. If the Mongols could establish rule throughout Europa, it would not be a hundred years. The Europa people will forget Rome and Greece, and they will forget the splendid civilization they once had.
"Is that so?" Chen Dexing muttered in a low voice, and a very bizarre scene appeared in his mind - countless white-skinned men walked on the streets of Paris and London with shaved moonlight heads and big braids......
It seems that it is not bad to have such a future! Chen Dexing thought to himself, but this matter can't just listen to Liu Xiaoyuan's words. It seems that this westward journey will have to go a little further, at least to the Mediterranean coast.
When you get closer, you can see clearly!
……
"Sage, do you still want to go to the Mediterranean? How much time does it take to get there? ”
Hearing that Chen Dexing planned to travel to the Mediterranean, Empress Li Cuixian showed a reluctant expression. Everyone else in the palace can follow. Only she, the queen mother, must stay behind.
Chen Dexing is gone, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for two years, and he will not see his husband for two years, which makes Li Cuixian, who has a big belly, frown.
Chen Dexing just stroked his wife's belly dotingly. said with a smile: "It's been eight in a row, Xian'er, you should also raise it for two years." Wait for my tour to come. Shall we continue to have children? ”
Li Cuixian pursed her lips slightly, "Sage." Are you treating the slave family as a sow? ”
"Sow?" Chen Dexing laughed, "There are eight sows in one litter. You're far from it. As he spoke, his face suddenly became stiff, "But Xian'er, these eight babies are not enough, your body can be strong, why do you have to give me eight more?" ”
Regenerate eight ...... That's sixteen dolls! This really treats Li Cuixian as a sow. However, Li Cuixian is a traditional woman after all, so naturally she will not resist having more children.
It's always a good thing to be able to give birth and be raised, right?
Moreover, having children means that Chen Dexing has to continue to have sex with her...... Eight more, no matter how fast it is, it will take twelve or thirteen years, and she will be in her forties by then. If you can really be pampered until that time, what is there not to be satisfied with?
"Well, the concubine obeys!" Li Cuixian had a big belly and it was inconvenient to get up, so she solemnly punched Chen Dexing.
Chen Dexing smiled and nodded, "Okay!" Deal! Xian'er, when you give birth to this child, I will set off to drive west. The affairs of the kingdom are all up to you. ”
If you want to tour the west with peace of mind, you must arrange it in China. For Chen Dexing, it is actually to appease Li Cuixian and make her loyal housekeeper.
"Sage," Li Cuixian's eyebrows frowned again, "This trip to the West is far away, and everything is complicated, so you must be more careful." ”
This worry is true, although Chen Dexing has an accident, she is the queen mother who listens to the government. But Chen Dexing and Li Cuixian are model couples in the families of Chinese emperors in the past dynasties, just look at the number of love crystals between the two of them.
"Don't worry about me, I'm not alone." Chen Dexing smiled and waved his hand.
This time, Chen Dexing said that he was going to the "Western Tour", which was actually similar to the Western Expedition. The main forces of the Navy's Beiyang Fleet and the South Ocean Fleet will definitely escort all the way. The Army will send out the Guards Infantry Division (Musketeer Division) and the Army Model Division, both of which are two brigades and four regiments, and are also equipped with one regiment each of artillery, engineers, baggage, and cavalry. The number of people was as high as 36,700 (the two divisions combined). The establishment is very close to that of the modern army of later generations. And the equipment has also reached an epoch-making point, not only the infantry is already fully firearmed, but even the light cavalry is equipped with short-barreled smoothbore guns.
In addition, the army led by Lu Hu had already set out a few months ago, and it was almost time to reach the Xindu River valley - according to the plan of the Ming Army General Staff, the first stop of General Lu's westward journey was the Song Kingdom in the Xindu River valley, first to help Li Tingzhi defeat the still stubborn Tianfang Sect warlords, and then to conquer Persia westward.
Li Cuixian nodded, she actually knew that Chen Dexing had enough safety to go here. She pondered for a moment and asked, "How does the sage want to arrange the affairs of Tianzhu?" Can we seal a few more vassal states in Tianzhu? ”
Chen Dexing's first stop in Tianzhu was of course to arrange for Tianzhu's feudal state -- not to act as peacemakers for Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang's father and son. It's about arranging the future of Tianzhu.
"The country must seal a few more!" Chen Dexing thought about it and said, "This Tianzhu was not intended to be shared by the eight countries, and now it is the monopoly of the British domain, how can I not seal a few more?" This time, Yu Xing, Wang Dechen and Dong Wenwei will go with them, and it is time for the three of them to make arrangements, and they will be sealed in Tianzhu. ”
These three countries would certainly be arranged in South Tianzhu and Ceylon - Tran Tak Hing would not be directly under the jurisdiction of Ceylon, but would have direct control over the port of Colombo. This would compress the space for Britain to go south.
"In addition, we must also set a 'tui'en' rule for the Tianzhu countries." Chen Dexing said, "The stipulation of "Chen Li" is the primogeniture inheritance system, and the old man's division is a bit of a bad rule. If it is a meritorious minister, it is in accordance with the rules, but what merit do those brothers have? Twenty countries have been sealed, which is indeed a bit excessive. ”
Li Cuixian nodded, thoughtful. She knew that Tianzhu did not apply to "Chen Li", because Tianzhu was not included in the Chinese countries. But Chen Dexing wants to use "Chen Li" to interfere in the internal affairs of the Tianzhu countries. Isn't that a bit rude......
"So what should we do with Forty-Nine?" Li Cuixian asked tentatively. This matter is almost a taboo in the Ming court, and no one wants to say more. However, Li Cuixian must now know in her heart.
"Forty-nine is meritorious!" Chen Dexing's brows also furrowed, this matter is very difficult to handle. "Forty-nine destroyed the busy brother Timur, destroyed the Ilkhanate, and opened up tens of thousands of miles of land in the Western Regions, although Wei Qing and Huo Quai, this credit is not as good as Wei Qing and Huo Quai...... For such a great hero, it must be treated according to the "Rite"! ”
A "Chen Li" is not only Chen Dexing's means of restraining the world, but also a rope that binds his hands and feet. If "Chen Li" was thrown aside, he could have ordered the spies in the Western Army to assassinate Zhu Sijiu.
But the king's order to assassinate the minister is a bad manner! The minister is guilty and has his own judicial means of punishment, how can the king send an assassin to kill him? And a "Chen Li" that can't restrain the king naturally can't protect the king. (To be continued.) )
