Chapter 643: Dongyong and Da Ming Four

Zhu Houhuang knew that Qi Jingtong had something to ask for, but to submit his name to Zhu Houhuang.

Qi Jingtong is not an idiot in politics, of course what is the plan he is making? What is his role in this project?

"Jing Nan." This word has a special meaning in the Ming Dynasty.

How many Ming vassal kings are rebellious, but their heads are different, not to mention that his legs are like this in some battle, when the rebellion of King Ning was pacified. And now that he is going to do such a big thing, the first thing he has to think about is, should he report it?

Qi Jingtong denied this choice.

Even if he denounces King Yong, what's the use? Dongyong's strength is strong, even if the emperor knows about it, he doesn't dare to act rashly, and he will die when the time comes. And he is in a high position in Dongyong, although because of the problem of his legs, he cannot fight on the battlefield with a strong and sharp force, but he manages the general affairs of the entire Yongjun. Even in front of Wang Yangming, Qi Jingtong also has a place.

Don't underestimate this detail.

You must know that when the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi was quelled, no matter how powerful the general was, there was no seat in front of Lu Wan.

Therefore, Qi Jing's announcement to King Fayong is simply more than worth the loss.

If you don't report it, Qi Jingtong will join this plan, so King Yong's trust in himself will become an important factor.

I don't know how many officials are in Dongyong's heart to Daming, and Qi Jingtong must prove that he is his diehard. That's why it's the way it is now. Qi Jingtong sent a proton to King Yong to express his loyalty.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Okay, let Qi Jiguang enter the martial arts hall." The country is alone, and these juniors are still needed to guard it. ”

Qi Jingtong naturally knew about the martial arts. Even as the Privy Council in charge of all the armed forces of Dongyong, this lecture hall was built under his command.

Of course he knew the importance of the martial arts hall.

Zhu Houhuang said: "When the first emperor was there, he hated the uselessness of the Ming Dynasty, and the day when the great cause of loneliness was achieved, he would definitely be a great hero, and in the future, the head of the great honorable nobles may not be the Duke of Britain, the Duke of Wei." ”

Qi Jingtong's heart jumped, how could he not understand Zhu Houhuang's hints. said: "The minister should do his best to help His Highness achieve the great cause." ”

Zhu Houhuang's promise to Qi Jingtong was not a broken promise, and Qi became the head of the Ming Dynasty, but it was not in his hands, but in the hands of his son. Of course, that's a story for later.

Zhu Houhuang is planning how to break with the Ming Dynasty, and even how to appease the time. Xu Ai has come to the Jingshi.

Along the way, the prefecture and county were too respectful of Xu Ai's arrival, and in the respect, there was a sense of alienation from respect. Xu Aixin understood that they regarded themselves as plague gods.

returned to the motherland, but became a guest, which made Xu Aixin very uncomfortable, and then looked at the appearance of corrupt officials along the way, Xu Aixin gave birth to a kind of It's better to let King Yong be the emperor.

Dongyong was created by Zhu Houhuang, and the successive Yongwang Changshi are all top-notch talents.

With their ability and without anyone to restrain them, it is easy to govern Dongyong in an orderly manner. Moreover, Zhu Houhuang also improved a lot of malpractices in the Ming Dynasty, such as the integration of officials, such as the increase in officials, the importance of following officials, the contempt for ministers, and so on, and Zhu Houhuang has never made the imperial history platform for supervising hundreds of officials.

If you don't get the Yushitai, there is no talent at all.

Zhu Houhuang has the Dongyong system in his heart, the county order, the county lieutenant, and the county official are respectively connected to the Changshi Mansion, that is, the future Prime Minister's Mansion, the county lieutenant is connected to the Privy Council, and the county is in charge of the law and docked with the Yushitai. Yushitai is a combination of modern public security and law. Of course, the county magistrate is the lord of a county, and can govern the county lieutenant and the county magistrate, but they are independent in professional affairs.

It's just that now in Dongyong, everyone is busy farming, and there are relatively few punishment laws, and among Zhu Houhuang's entrainment, there are not many legal talents, as long as they are idle first.

Under all kinds of means, it is self-deception to say that no one in Dongyong is corrupt, but the corruption situation in Dongyong is definitely several times better than that of Daming.

"Lord Xu, my family is invited." A servant came to Xu Ai's side and said.

Xu Ai hurriedly got up and said, "More Brother Yang." As he spoke, he handed the servant a piece of silver.

The threshold of the prime minister is not easy to enter, and the size of a servant's shelf is larger than that of ordinary magistrates. Xu Ai had to be careful.

Under the guidance of the servants, he entered Yang Tinghe's study, and as soon as he entered the study, he saw Yang Tinghe behind a desk, looking at a letter. He looked at it from a distance, it was the letter he brought to Jingshi, which was written by King Yong to Yang Tinghe, and he didn't know what the content was?

After Xu Ai saluted, the guests sat down. Yang Tinghe said directly: "I understand what Your Royal Highness means, King Yong wants to be an overseas vassal king in Nanyang, and he doesn't want to be implicated by the old past. It's just that this needs to be seen, King Yong's sincerity? ”

As soon as Xu Ai heard the sincerity, he immediately thought of the silver and handed over a gift slip with both hands.

Yang Tinghe opened it and took a look, but saw what was written on it, pearl agate, coral trees, and other rare treasures in the sea, and then wrote 10,000 taels of silver at the back, which added up to a total of 50,000 or 60,000 taels.

Yang Tinghe threw the gift list back and said, "Then what do these blockages mean?" How can such a military affair be taught and accepted privately? I'm not talking about sincerity. ”

As soon as Xu Ai heard it, he knew that Yang Tinghe was going to put forward conditions.

Xu Ai hurriedly said, "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Every year to pay tribute, every year to the court, needless to say." ”

Xu Ai agreed and said, "Before my Royal Highness came down, I said that this can definitely be done." ”

It is not difficult to pay tribute to the court every year, and the financial expenditure is not much. So this condition can pass.

Yang Tinghe said: "In the future, the succession to the throne of King Yong should be subject to the holy decree. ”

Xu Ai said: "This is to be discussed between the lower officials and His Royal Highness, but as long as Your Majesty does not make a mess, it is not difficult for Dongyong to comply." ”

The primogeniture inheritance system established by Zhu Yuanzhang is more difficult for Zhu Houhuang to overthrow. As long as this is pursued, it will have no effect on Dongyong.

And Xu Ai is not a system, I'm afraid that the one in the palace can't bear the change of Dongyong's throne.

Yang Tinghe said: "Lone hopes to come to Beijing once a year. ”

"It can't be." Xu Ai said: "Have you forgotten what Your Royal Highness said that he will never repeat the Central Plains for the rest of his life." ”

Yang Tinghe said: "King Yong, this official understands, but can the prince of King Yong live in Beijing for a long time?" ”

Xu Ai didn't understand that Yang Tinghe was asking for protons nakedly.

"This is unlikely, my Royal Highness only has this one son under his knees, and he is the prince of my Dongyong, how can the prince be the proton of another country?" Xu Ai said.

"Other countries?" Yang Tinghe said.

"The lower official lost his words." Xu Ai said. He shouldn't call the Ming another country.

Yang Tinghe said: "Okay, I don't embarrass you, the second son of King Yong, you must come to Jingshi." ”

Xu Ai said: "I want to go back and report this matter." ”

"Okay." Yang Tinghe said: "You can't promise anything, what did King Yong send you for?" ”

Xu Ai said: "The reason why Xia Guan came here is to let the two sides live in peace. The greatest sincerity brought by the lower officials is the movement of our troops. ”

Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "What a transfer." ”

Xu Ai said: "My Royal Highness's meaning, he is going to move the capital to Nanyang, and then he will take Nanyang as the foundation. And the East China Sea will gradually withdraw. It will increase investment in the South China Sea. The few troops that Dongyong can fight well will all be transferred to Nanyang. Dongyong will be undefended against the Ming Dynasty. ”

Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "Your Highness, do you really mean this?" ”

Xu Ai said: "It's true, the newly chosen capital city is in Star City. ”

Yang Tinghe didn't know that what Xu Ai said was false, but Xu Ai's strong enthusiasm couldn't be wrong at all.

Yang Tinghe said: "This is a big matter, let me think about it, but please go down and learn the etiquette carefully, Your Majesty has decided to summon you." ”

Xu Ai let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

It is easy to come to Jingshi, but it is difficult to achieve the mission without dishonoring the mission.
