Chapter 10: The Patterns of Famous Monarchs Through the Ages (9)
"King of Xiangyang, King of Yunnan, drink!" Lin Dui greeted these two unkind vassal kings with a smile, which made it even more difficult to see.
The emperor wanted to cut the feudal domain before, how could he be so close to these two people in a blink of an eye.
Send beautiful women and care about other people's sons. Could it be that the emperor was really afraid of the elite soldiers of these two vassal kings advancing into the Central Plains?
Everyone knows that the main reason for Wang Yanxiang's death is not the absurdity of the emperor's choice of singers and dancers, but because the emperor wants to establish authority for the vassal king.
The emperor's teacher also wanted to arouse the emperor's vigilance on this matter.
It's a pity that this emperor of theirs is as if he didn't realize it.
Three rounds of drinking.
The king of Yunnan seemed to have drunk too much, and looked at Lin Dui: "Your Majesty, this king feels uncomfortable." ”
"Oh? Why is that? Lin Du guessed that the main event might be coming.
The king of Yunnan and the king of Xiangyang have been hanging on their own for many days, and it seems that they are going to talk about cutting the feudal domain today.
Sure enough, as Lin Du expected: "This king heard that you want to cut the domain." ”
"Where did the King of Yunnan hear about this?" Lin Du pretended to be stupid.
The king of Yunnan did not answer, and then said: "Your Majesty, this king really admires you, you are a good emperor, the young man has ruled to this day, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prosperous world is peaceful. ”
Lin Du smiled embarrassedly: "Yunnan Wang praised." In fact, I also have a lot of affection for you, I still remember when I was a child, when you came to the capital every year, you would teach me to ride a horse-drawn bow, when my eldest brother was still there, my father and emperor placed higher expectations on the eldest son, and you always encouraged me. I wish we could be like we were back then. ”
"We can't go back because we are on opposite sides of the strife. Faced with a huge conflict of interests between the imperial court and the vassal king, the waves were turbulent. The king of Yunnan hit the nail on the head.
Lin Du frowned, she showed her favor like this, the king of Yunnan still clung to the matter of cutting his own domain, it seems that today's birthday banquet cannot end peacefully
Many of Lin Dui's courtiers are very talented in governing the world, after all, the protagonist's aura will attract famous ministers, they saw that Lin Dui was not good at answering the words of the King of Yunnan, so they stood up and said for Lin Dui: The emperor does not go around in circles with Bai Yunfei: "Lord, under this whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The current vassal kings are all self-respecting, don't you think this is an obvious deviance? ”
The king of Yunnan hooked the corners of his mouth with some sarcasm: "The father of this king is the founder of the country, when he fought the world, he promised people to tear the earth and seal the king, but this is sitting in the world, and he has to retract his promise." Is it not true that if you don't speak of faith, you are in accordance with the scriptures? ”
His eyes were burning, and he stared at the courtier who spoke out in his heart, so he had to bow his head and avoid his gaze.
A courtier answered: "Lord, it's not impossible to tear the earth and seal the king. However, it is reasonable that the power of the vassal king should not pose a threat to the imperial court. The minister presses the king, which has always been a taboo. There are too many soldiers and horses in Yunnan, and the territory is too big, every time Your Majesty talks about cutting the domain, there will be some chaos in your frontier. ”
"It's ridiculous, if we don't even have the strength to protect ourselves, I'm afraid that the army of the imperial court would have leveled the king's territory a long time ago." The king of Yunnan also pushed back quietly.
At this time, Lin Dui, who had been watching the king of Yunnan quarrel with his courtiers, finally spoke up, and she shook her head: "I won't, I have always emphasized governing the country with virtue. ”
"Maybe you won't, but nothing is absolute." The king of Xiangyang also had a particularly tough attitude today.
Lin Du wanted to ease the atmosphere, and raised his glass: "Today is my birthday banquet, not talking about state affairs, only talking about our old feelings, how can we get involved in this nasty thing again." ”
The king of Yunnan did not back down: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is difficult to avoid this question." ”
Seeing that Bai Yunfei didn't give face, Lin Dui's attitude became tougher: "King of Yunnan and King Xiangyang, you should know that I am an emperor who misses my old feelings, and I have taken care of me when I was young, and I will not treat you badly in the future." ”
The king of Xiangyang did not agree with the emperor's Tai Chi: "Your Majesty, my father once told me that verbal promises can never compare to real things. ”
"The two princes want something tangible?" Lin Du asked rhetorically.
"We just want a guarantee." The King of Yunnan spoke calmly, but he was secretly witty: "Since Your Majesty misses the old feelings, give us a guarantee, and let the two of us feel at ease." ”
Lin Du sighed: "After all, the two of you can't believe me. Ordered a heavy army to advance into the Central Plains, is it true that if I don't give you a guarantee today, you will immediately face my soldiers? ”
"Your Majesty is serious." King Xiangyang's tone was not as serious as Lin Duan's words, but rather a threatening tone.
"You are disrespectful, blatant persecution of the Holy One." One of the courtiers stood up and shouted.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Dui's voice was weak: "The king of Yunnan and the king of Xiangyang, the two princes are also half of my uncles and uncles, and they have treated me very well since I was a child." Although I am a concubine, they have never treated me differently as a concubine, and I still miss this friendship. Two, are you really not paying attention to your descendants? ”
"Naturally. This king has never valued any of this. King Xiangyang didn't know why the emperor suddenly came here, but he also followed him.
"It is impossible for me to directly decree that I will never cut down the domain, such a holy decree has never been seen in ancient times." Lin Duan's words made the Manchu Dynasty relieved except for the two vassal kings, and their emperor had not yet fainted.
But immediately, they realized that they were wrong, because Lin Du continued: "However, I can decree that you two work hard to have sons, and for each additional son, regardless of the concubine, I will reward you with some more land, and the larger your fiefdom, the more capable you will have to protect yourself, and you don't need my promise of never cutting down the domain, right?" ”
The kings of Yunnan and Xiangyang looked at the emperor in disbelief.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were also stunned for a moment, and after reacting, they knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”
Lin Duan waved his hand: "Needless to say, Lu Fuxin, let's make a purpose." ”
Lu Fuxin blinked, confirming that he was not hallucinating or hallucinating, today's emperor was too abnormal.
"Let's go!" Lin Du urged.
Lu Fuxin came back to his senses and hurriedly went down to draw up the order.
"Your Majesty, you are ignoring the mountains and rivers of your ancestors in vain!"
"Faint King! Even if the old minister dies here today, he has to say it, you are a faint king! ”
"If your brother is still alive, where will it be your turn to be emperor!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is really inappropriate!"
"Ignorant children, joking with national fortune!"
Lin Du listened to the scolding below, and the more he listened, the more comfortable he became.
Because Lu Zhaoqing was telling her again: "The luck is gradually weakening, and the protagonist's aura is also weakening." ”
