When Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty, he promulgated fifteen non-conscripted countries, including Korea, Wa, and Ryukyu. After more than 200 years, the pattern of the region has changed, but Lao Zhu's rules are still unbreakable ancestral system!

Of course, if the Apocalypse is in power, he will pretend to be confused at most, and then let Wei Zhongxian make an order in his name, and there will be no problem. But if it was replaced by Chongzhen, it would never be able to pass this hurdle.

Zhou Tingru stood up at this time and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I am a great Ming and benevolent people who love the people, and they are all praised for their kindness and the four seas, and the states of the vassals. Now King Anton suddenly raised a large army, crossed the sea to conquer and kill the Japanese state, not to mention the loss of people and money, and also damaged the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, which attracted the criticism of the world. The minister dared to suggest that King Anton should be ordered to withdraw his troops and strangle the rogues with all his might, which is the right way. ”

Although Zhou Tingru is the second assistant, but his holy family and prestige are above the foundation of the life, as for the third assistant Wen Tiren, when the original Tingtui was a scholar, Zhou Tingru and Wen Tiren teamed up to deal with Qian Qianyi, and he was a friend of the trenches.

Therefore, the attitude of the first assistant and the second assistant is the same, and there is a big hat of the ancestral system, Chongzhen suddenly hesitated.

There is an unknown reason why he is inclined to Zhang Ke's plan, that is, Chongzhen has the best face and has a strong utilitarian heart.

Since he ascended the throne, he has prided himself as a holy monarch, but the situation in the court has not only not improved, but has become worse and worse, and now even the ancestral tomb has been burned.

Chongzhen urgently needs to prove that he is still a Ming Jun, what is the most effective method, that is, to expand the territory!

Even if he seizes a few isolated islands in the sea, it can be regarded as a meritorious work in expanding the territory, and he will be able to get rid of the notoriety of his descendants. Although the idea is good, the risk of violating the ancestral system is also great. If he supports Zhang Ke's overseas operations, and then causes internal and external troubles, the Holy Monarch will not be able to do it. But he has become the faint king of the dead country!

In Chongzhen's heart, the emperor should always be wise, everything good is his, and everything bad is someone else's. does not assume the responsibility of the emperor, but to make the power and prestige of the emperor...... Is there such a cheap thing in the world?

In the main hall, it was extremely depressing, Chongzhen didn't speak, Zhou Tingru stood there with his waist almost broken, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Barely holding on. Chongzhen waved his hand weakly.

"Go down, all of you."

After the three scholars came out, the cold wind blew, and Cheng Jiming suddenly sneezed.

"Hey, the old man's health is getting worse and worse, when a monk hits a clock for a day, and sooner or later he can't hit it, Zhou Ge Lao, Wen Ge Lao, you will have to pick up the burden of the cabinet in the future!"

"Yuan Weng is too polite. Daming can't live without you! Zhou Tingru said politely, but in his heart he was quite unimpressed, you old and useless thing should have left a long time ago.

"Yuan Weng, Wen Ge Lao. Now the situation is very clear, Zhang Ke has the heart to get involved overseas, in my opinion, he just wants to accumulate strength. To be an overseas genius, Takefu's ambition cannot be underestimated. We, the Commander-in-Chief, sit in this position. It is necessary to work hard for the ancestors and never condone things that violate the ancestral system. ”

A few words, which is equivalent to setting the tone for this matter, Zhou Tingru thought, there should be no problem, and returned directly to the duty room of the second assistant, the same is true for Cheng Jiming and Wen Tiren, but after Wen Tiren returned to the duty room, he immediately rummaged through a bunch of folds, and finally found a red-skinned fold, he smiled, got up and was about to leave. But he stopped, waited in the duty room for two hours, and then held a few irrelevant folds and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

Chongzhen is diligent in government, every important recital, the cabinet has to report directly, everyone has no doubts about Wen Tiren's actions, he went all the way to the Qianqing Palace, informed the eunuch on duty, not long after, Chongzhen summoned the decree, Wen Tiren came to Chongzhen in front of him, and made a big salute.

"Come on, give Elder Wen Ge a seat."

"The minister is not yet in the age of the sixtieth year, how can he receive the grace of His Majesty's courtesy, the old minister must not be able to afford it!" Wen Tiren hurriedly excused himself, not even daring to say.

Chongzhen rarely showed a smile, and Wen Tiren's obedient feeling was still very much to his heart.

"Sit down, you can't let me lean my neck and talk to the elder pavilion."

Wen Tiren knelt down again, said a long list of words of gratitude, and sat down in his chair tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to ask, are you still worried about what happened just now?"

"Hmm!"

Chongzhen did not shy away from it, and said with a wry smile: "The grain in the southeast is cut off, the civil strife in the Central Plains is not stopped, and the ancestral tomb has been devastated again, and it seems that a few daggers have been inserted in my heart, and I keep bleeding!" ”

"The incompetence of the ministers has made His Majesty worry about it." Wen Tiren knelt on the ground, wiped his tears and cried, full of play, Chongzhen's heart warmed, and said with a smile: "Elder Wen Ge, you don't have to recruit me, I think you must have an idea, talk to me!" ”

"Holy Wisdom!"

Wen Tiren wiped his tears, paused and said: "Your Majesty, King Anton proposed to operate overseas, and the old minister thought that there were two benefits, the first is to reclaim overseas fields, and if there is more grain production, it will be convenient to use it to help the people." If the rogues, ruffians, and bandits are expelled overseas, the court will be able to sit back and relax, and the old ministers will look at King Anton's strategy and think that it is a wonderful way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. ”

Chongzhen was noncommittal, and said with a wry smile: "Wen Ge Lao's words are also my intentions, but it is helpless to go against the ancestral system, and it is difficult to carry it out, I am ready to issue an order to King Anton and ask him not to mention it again." ”

"Your Majesty is slow, the old minister thinks that this matter does not violate the ancestral system."

"Oh!" Chongzhen suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened, and asked, "Why did Elder Ge say that?" ”

Wen Tiren felt Chongzhen's eagerness, as long as he did this, it would be a great feat, in Chongzhen's mind, his status could skyrocket, fight!

"Your Majesty, Taizu designated the Wa Kingdom as a country not to be conquered, that is because Meng Yuan once invaded the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom struggled to resist, and Taizu remembered that it was not easy, so it was a special grace. However, the minister has checked, since Chenghua, the southeast coast has been rampant, killing my people, plundering my wealth, doing all kinds of evil, doing everything. During the Jiajing period, there was a rebellion in the southeast, and there was a rebellion in Renchen during the Wanli period. Let me ask, I am magnanimous and magnanimous, but the Japanese country is pressing step by step, and Tian is shameless. Is it only allowed for the Japanese to fight the Ming Dynasty, and not for the Ming Dynasty to fight the Japanese State? The old minister thought that even if Taizu was alive, he would send troops in anger to teach the Japanese country a lesson. ”

After saying this, Chongzhen kept nodding, Wen Tiren is really different from Zhou Tingru and others, he has insight and ideas!

Taizu can't look at his children and grandchildren as fools, it's not only right to teach the Wa Kingdom a lesson, but it's still a matter of course. However, Chongzhen still didn't dare to make a decision easily, and the overseas war not only involved the issue of the country that was not leved, but also the navy, taxes, personnel, and various aspects.

One more piece of land is equivalent to an extra piece of fat, with the virtue of the Donglin party, they can't grab it, so they will not hesitate to be the king of trouble, so that no one can get it.

"Wen Qing, what you said is extremely true, but I'm afraid that this truth can't be said to Baiguanyan, so what can I do?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, the old minister has consulted the recitals in recent months, and he really found a way, please ask Your Majesty to take a look."

Saying that, Wen Tiren took out a red cover and sent it to Wang Chengen's hand, turned it to Chongzhen, picked it up and looked at it, Chongzhen frowned.

"Isn't this a letter sent by King Shoho of the Ryukyus?"

Some time ago, the Ming army defeated the Satsuma Domain, and the Ryukyus broke free from the clutches of Japan.

At that time, Chongzhen was very moved, but then Fengyang was lost, and Chongzhen's mood fell to the bottom all of a sudden, so he didn't take care of Shangfeng, and the Ryukyu missions remained in the capital.

"Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and it is indeed the transcript of the King of the Ryukyus."

Chongzhen was a little puzzled and asked, "What is Wen Qing's purpose in taking this letter of state?" ”

"Your Majesty, isn't King Anton going to set up a governor in the Ryukyus! Then you might as well write a request in the name of the King of the Ryukyus. Ryukyu was almost destroyed by the Japanese kingdom before, and the Ming Dynasty was invited to help Ryukyu restore the country and guard Ryukyu, which is also the proper meaning. ”

is a good Wen Tiren, he is really cunning enough, isn't it against the ancestral system to send troops directly, then go around in a circle, let Ryukyu invite, and the Ming Dynasty should send troops at the appointment, which is logical.

Chongzhen nodded imperceptibly, Wen Tiren was greatly encouraged, and continued: "The old minister dares to say one more thing, the sea is very risky and the road is long, so you might as well leave it to King Anton to deal with." The old minister remembered that King Anton could appoint and dismiss officials below the third rank, so it was better for His Majesty to open the grace of heaven and give King Anton the right to appoint second-rank officials, so that he could have the best of both worlds! ”

What is the best of both worlds, in fact, is trouble extrapolation!

With the title of Shangshu Governor of Military Affairs, he happens to be a second-rank official, according to Wen Tiren's method, the Ming Court just promised to help the vassal state restore the country, naturally bypassing the ancestral system, as for what will be done next, it is all Zhang Ke's business, and it has nothing to do with them.

Speaking of which, this is also a way to cover his ears and steal the bell, but who made Chongzhen like this kind of hypocrisy!

After listening to Wen Tiren's words, Chongzhen showed a rare smile and said happily: "Wen Qing is really my son's room!" ”

Ovary, Zhang Liangye!

From then on, he was no longer the dispensable Sanfu of the cabinet, but a rising giant, a favored minister of the Son of Heaven, who trembled with excitement and immediately kowtowed to thank him.

……

"Alas, what should I say about this court, a big thing, it has been delayed for many months, if this is placed on the battlefield, I don't know how to die for a long time! A few foolish words from hundreds of years ago were taken seriously, and I was convinced! Yu Weiliang said angrily.

Zhang Ke disagreed, and said with a smile: "It's not just the ancestral training of Taizu, thousands of years ago, didn't the words of Confucius and Mencius also be enshrined!" Where do these literati understand the truth that things are easy to move over time! ”

"It's not good to knock down a boatload of people." Cui Chengxiu said with a smile: "Lord Wang, although Lao Cui is a literati, he is also diligent and hard studying under the prince, and this time he will go to the East China Sea, he will definitely open up territory for the prince and lay the foundation for immigration!" ”

Zhang Ke laughed: "Okay, it's up to Brother Cui to show his skills." ”

At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion outside, and after a while, Qiao Fu rushed in directly, and when he entered the house, he said: "Lord, the court has issued an order for me to go to Fengyang to suppress bandits, should I go or not?" (To be continued......)
