Chapter 363: One Man Surrenders 100,000 Soldiers
Three dynasties were born, and the mortal world was shaken.
What is the Celestial Empire?
This was originally the self-boasting wording of the emperor who was so happy.
Now, the gate of heaven is open, and the Celestial Empire is born.
The world seems to finally know that this is what the Heavenly Empire should be!
Three dynasties, each leading 100,000 soldiers.
Although there are few soldiers, even the streets and alleys of the people in the market dare not despise these 100,000 heavenly soldiers!
Daming.
Above the court.
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and their hearts were in turmoil.
Emperor Jiajing rarely went to the court, and when he had something, he mostly consulted with the first assistant and the second assistant.
Today, His Majesty actually announced the early dynasty?
Baiguan secretly said in his heart: The Heavenly Empire that descended on my Ming Dynasty has put such great pressure on His Majesty, it is really terrifying!
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
With the old eunuch Lu Fang's singing, the civil and military officials immediately knelt on the mountain and shouted long live.
Emperor Jiajing walked in a tiger step.
Step on the royal steps, sit on the dragon chair, and pay homage to the hundred officials.
"Zhong Aiqing, flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When the hundred officials got up, they couldn't help but quietly raise their heads when they bowed down and looked at Emperor Jiajing's face.
It's good not to look at it, but it's terrifying to see it!
Emperor Jiajing was actually bloodshot and tired, as if he had been working hard for days?!
"Today, we are discussing two things."
Emperor Jiajing spoke, and the ministers immediately cheered up.
Probably to face the Celestial Empire, they can't deal with it carelessly.
"First, discuss merit."
"The crown prince has recovered the lost territory of Yunzhou, and I have not officially rewarded him."
"If you don't reward your merits, it's my fault, and everyone in the world will scold me behind my back. In the future, I am afraid that no one will want to serve me, and I will have to choose another master. ”
Emperor Jiajing's voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace, and all the officials knelt down in unison.
Another Lord?
This is the crime of exterminating the Nine Clans, who dares to bear it?
"The ministers swear allegiance to Your Majesty, how dare they have two hearts?"
Listening to the loyalty of the hundred officials, Emperor Jiajing only faintly replied with two words.
"Let's talk."
As soon as he finished speaking, the first assistant Yan Song seemed to have been ready for a long time, and immediately went out of class to ask for a performance.
"Your Majesty."
"Since ancient times, those who have achieved military merit have nothing more than adding officials, entering knighthoods, giving money, and fiefs."
"The old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country and the future son of heaven, and he does not need an official title."
"The crown prince has a lot of credit, and it is not enough to just give money."
"The old minister suggested that in addition to giving money, His Majesty could allocate a state of land from the territory of the Ming Dynasty as a fief of the prince."
"Before the crown prince ascends the throne, he can go to the fiefdom to govern the local people, as an exercise for governing the country in the future."
After listening to Yan Song, the second assistant Xu Jie next to him was already sweating.
What a ruthless method!
What a vicious heart!
Throughout the ages, where is the reason that the prince is a vassal and far away from the Son of Heaven and the court?
Estranged the prince in this way, it was clear that it was an opportunity for King Jing to get close to Emperor Jiajing.
The treacherous tactics really can't be relaxed for a moment!
"Okay."
"Quasi-play!"
Xu Jie was trying to think about countermeasures, but he didn't expect that Emperor Jiajing's golden mouth would approve Yan Song's invitation on the spot.
"Your Majesty?!"
Xu Jie screamed in surprise, only to realize that he had lost his temper.
"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing glanced at him and asked in a cold tone, "Does the second assistant have something to say?" ”
Boom!
Xu Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He served Emperor Jiajing for many years, and he clearly heard the meaning of warning from the emperor's voice.
However, for the sake of Prince Wanli, Xu Jie had to fight once.
"Your Majesty!"
"The crown prince is not a vassal king, and it seems inappropriate to reward a fief for great merit?"
After listening to him, Emperor Jiajing asked, "According to your meaning, it is enough to just give money?" ”
The corners of Xu Jie's mouth twitched.
If the son wins the battle, Lao Tzu's reward will be over, and what about sending it to Huazi?
Could it be that this is the ancestral fault of the old Zhu family, who likes to be rewarded with money?
"No, the prince should be rewarded, but the fief is really ......"
"Land is the foundation of a country!"
Emperor Jiajing suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Xu Jie's words.
"Isn't it a great grace for me to allocate a fief to the crown prince?"
"Is it the prince's dissatisfaction? Or is the second assistant dissatisfied? ”
"Or do I have to abdicate early and give him this dragon chair!?"
Xu Jie's soul was about to be scared away!
He hurriedly knelt down, and behind him he knelt down a clear stream minister.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Minister...... Minister......"
Xu Jie suddenly realized that this was probably a scene jointly performed by His Majesty and Yan Song, in order to erase Prince Wanli's military exploits in Yunzhou.
When Prince Wanli gets the fief, he will definitely not really go to the domain, and he will definitely try to stay in the capital.
As a result, the fief is equal to no fiefdom, and the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty is still owned by Emperor Jiajing.
But nominally, His Majesty doesn't owe anything to the Prince.
Lao Tzu calculates his son, is it necessary to get to such a point?
"Your Majesty, the minister knows his mistake, and the minister withdraws the request."
After all, Xu Jie has been in the Jiajing Dynasty for decades, and his ability to know mistakes and change them and swallow his anger has long been mastered.
He also knew that His Majesty would not let Yan Song's family dominate, as long as he didn't make a big mistake, he would eventually be tolerated by His Majesty and stay in the court to balance Yan Song.
"Xu Jie's hall lost his honor in front of the palace and was fined for one year." Emperor Jiajing said lightly.
"Thank you...... Your Majesty is tolerant. ”
Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, it was the same as he guessed.
He bowed down and stepped back, and as he passed by Yan Song, he noticed a trace of regret on Shousuke's face.
"Now, let's talk about the second item."
Emperor Jiajing spoke again and directly announced the end of the issue of rewarding the crown prince.
However, the ministers found that His Majesty only said the fief, but did not say where the fief was.
Did you forget?
But Xu Jie has just been cleaned up, and now who dares to remind Emperor Jiajing of his little mistake?
"But in the middle, you speak for me."
"Yes."
Old Yan Song took the order, and glanced at Xu Jie proudly. The latter couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, His Majesty and Yan Song sang and harmonized, and it turned out that they were all pre-rehearsed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tang Kingdom, one of the three dynasties descended from heaven, has invaded my Ming Dynasty and occupied Hongzhou."
As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked.
Hongzhou is a continent south of the Yangtze River, with a rich place and a large population.
A minister exclaimed: "Elder Yan Ge, could you be mistaken?" Hongzhou was lost, and the ministers had never heard of it? ”
Someone else questioned: "There are also 100,000 garrisons in Hongzhou, with 100,000 against 100,000, even if the Hongzhou army is weak, it will not be defeated silently, right?" ”
Except for Yan Song, no one in the Manchu Dynasty knew that Hongzhou was lost.
Even the second assistant Xu Jie, it was the first time he heard this bad news.
"Ministers, please listen to what the old man has to say."
Yan Song waited for everyone to calm down before he sighed slowly.
"Hongzhou is surrendered without a fight."
"What?!"
"It can't be!"
"Hongzhou officials and soldiers, all of them should be killed!"
Some were shocked, some were angry, and some were puzzled.
Yan Song waited for everyone to vent enough, and finally said: "According to the information obtained by the old man, it was Li Yu, the son of the Tang Kingdom, who personally took action and subdued the entire army of Hongzhou with the strength of one person. ”
At this moment, the ministers were quiet.
One man surrendered 100,000 soldiers?
How many people can do this kind of thing in the world?
Emperor Jiajing maybe?
The ministers looked up, but they only saw Emperor Jiajing's bloodshot eyes and extremely tired appearance.
The thought that just popped up suddenly lost his confidence.
"I was negligent and forgot to choose a fief for the crown prince."
Emperor Jiajing suddenly spoke.
"The prince's fiefdom is set in Hongzhou."
I gritted my teeth and wrote another 2,000 words, and I tried to stick to it by 6,000 a day.
