Chapter 316: Lichu
In the first year of Yongle, Li Jili, the prime minister of Annan, usurped power and seized the throne, killing all the Chen family of the original Annan royal family, Li Jili tampered with the surname "Hu", and "Chen Dynasty" became "Hu Dynasty".
But after all, the Annan royal family has controlled Annan for many years, and even though Li Jili is powerful, there are still fish that have escaped from the net.
And this fish that slipped through the net is none other than Chen Tianping, the younger brother of Chen Rikun, the former puppet lord of Annam.
Chen Tianping fled all the way to the territory of the Ming Dynasty and cried to the new Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty Zhu Di, about the atrocities of Li Jili.
Zhu Di is a great sect, and Daming is the suzerainty of Annan, and when he learned that such a tragic thing happened in Annan, of course, it was impossible to ignore it.
So Zhu Di sent a holy decree to the south, wantonly appealed to Li Jili, and ordered Li Jili to return to the royal family of Annam.
After Li Jili was scolded by Zhu Di, he readily agreed, and wrote a letter bluntly saying that he was obsessed with ghosts, and asked Shangguo to send someone to send the new lord back to Annan to take the throne.
So, Zhu Di believed it and sent 5,000 elite soldiers to escort Chen Tianping back to Annan.
I just set off from Beijing a few days ago.
These things, even if Sheng Yong is imprisoned, he must have heard of them.
Therefore, Chen Kan did not sell his relationship with him, but said bluntly: "Ben Hou concluded that it is impossible for Li Jili, the puppet king of Annan, to return to power to Chen Tianping so willingly." ”
Sheng Yong is also a figure who has led the army for many years, and he quickly figured out the joints.
couldn't help but look shocked and said, "What does Master Hou mean is that Li Jili will send someone to intercept and kill Chen Tianping?" ”
Chen Kan bowed his head and said: "Master Hou, let me ask what is people's ambitions? ”
"Immeasurable!"
Sheng Yong's mouth spit out four words coldly, and his face instantly became gloomy: "In this way, wouldn't my five thousand elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty want to be buried in the depths of the rainforest?" ”
Chen Kan shook his head: "That's not it, Ben Hou has already repaired a book and sent it to Yunnan, if nothing else, it should have been in the hands of Xiping Hou at this moment." ”
"Hiss~"
Hearing this, Sheng Yong couldn't help but gasp, and then looked at Chen Kan like a monster.
After a while, Sheng Yong asked, "Marquis Jinghai had already predicted that Li Jili would not obey Daming's orders when Chen Tianping went south?" ”
Chen Kan did not answer Sheng Yong's question, but said to himself: "Not long after Your Majesty ascended the throne, the foundation of the DPRK and China is uncertain, and the border will only maintain stability in a short period of time, so this time the matter of Annan is very rare. ”
"Huhu~"
After listening to Chen Kan's self-talk, Sheng Yong suddenly exhaled a long breath.
Then he vaguely arched his hand to Chen Kan and said: "Master Hou's kindness, Sheng Yong remembers it, but unfortunately, Sheng Yong has nothing to repay." ”
"Hehe~"
Chen Kan smiled slightly, and then his expression returned to normal.
And Sheng Yong didn't say much, just quietly waited for the beginning of the court.
Annan will rebel, this is certain, and Zhu Di in history took this opportunity to incorporate Annan into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
If it weren't for this incident, Annan would still be the fifteen non-conscripted countries set by the great grandfather, and the Ming Dynasty would have no reason to include Annan in the territorial scope.
Repaying Sheng Yong's favor with something that will happen is a very cost-effective thing for Chen Kan.
After waiting in line for a long time, the civil and military officials who came to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting finally squeezed into the Fengtian Palace.
The number of people attending the court meeting suddenly increased so much, and the Fengtian Hall also seemed a little crowded.
But the more people there are, the less likely it is for Chen Kan to be found when he sleeps secretly.
Therefore, when the faces of the high-ranking officials were unhappy, Chen Kan had already found a corner that could block Zhu Di's sight and hid.
"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"
The sharp voice of Zhu Di's personal eunuch sounded, and Chen Kan couldn't help but pout.
It's okay for you to gather so many people to eat fart.
After complaining in his heart, Chen Kan closed his eyes and began to pretend to sleep, leaving only two ears for them to destroy.
As usual, Fang Xiaoru, who was the head of the hundred officials, stood up and reported some things that had already been decided.
This is an hour to pass.
There are several others to follow.
Chen Kan didn't understand the meaning of the existence of this great court, since it was to announce some things that had been decided a long time ago, why not just start a newspaper?
Isn't a decree uploaded directly to the imperial court in the newspaper more effective than in this empty hall?
The sound of the hundred officials was like a lullaby, and soon, Chen Kan fell asleep.
I don't know how long time has passed, Chen Kan was woken up by the sunlight shining into the hall.
It is not accurate to say that it is a wake-up call, it should be said that it was pierced in the eyes by the sun.
And now, the recital has come to an end, and Ru Yu is making the final concluding speech.
Chen Kan couldn't help but poke his head out to observe the expressions in the hall, only to see that many ministers had begun to fall asleep.
And several elderly ministers are even more shaky, and they may faint at any time.
Chen Kan couldn't help frowning and said, "The sun is getting to the buttocks, aren't you starting to get to the point?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Ru Yu in the main hall had already finished speaking, and silently retreated to the civil official queue.
Originally, according to the normal process, the court meeting should have ended here.
But today is a little different, many ministers saw Ru Yu retreat, and the whole person instantly became energetic.
Chen Kan woke up at this time, it was the time when he was refreshed, but when he saw that those elderly ministers were still shaky one second, and the next second they were full of energy, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
It's just that although the ministers are sober, it is obvious that no one wants to be this bird.
As a result, the hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
I don't know how long it was silent, Zhu Di opened his mouth and asked, "Zhuqing, do you still have something to do?" ”
The ministers looked at each other, Fang Xiaoru was about to step forward, and Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song."
Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, but he still retreated silently.
Song Li is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and some things are more appropriate for Song Li to come forward.
Zhu Di raised his eyelids and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”
Song Li tidied up his clothes, and bowed to Zhu Di with a wat board in his hand: ", Your Majesty, the ministers read the prehistory, and see the holy king's royal world, the first seal of the great cause, that is, the establishment of the second prince."
Cover so An billions of people are suspicious, and they are absolutely coveted by China and foreign countries.
Now Your Majesty has ascended to the throne, but the position of the prince has been vacant for more than a year, and there has been an uproar inside and outside the government and the opposition, therefore, I implore Your Majesty to establish a prince as soon as possible, so as to consolidate the foundation of the country, and beg Your Majesty ......to listen to it."
Without any pulling, without any temptation, Song Li just moved the matter of Lichu to the table.
After listening to Song Li's report, Zhu Di's face did not fluctuate, but his fingers tapped lightly on the table, in order to hide his uncalm heart.
And after Song Li finished speaking, he couldn't afford it.
As a result, the hall fell silent again.
Chen Kan hid behind the pillar, staring at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, for fear of missing a minute.
Of course, it's not that Chen Kan is very interested in this scene, mainly because the sunlight shining into the hall is too dazzling, and he can't open his eyes without hiding behind the pillar.
After a while, Zhu Di suddenly asked the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu: "What do you think about the matter of establishing a prince?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials of the Ministry of Rites all said: "Your Majesty, please also set the position of the prince as soon as possible to consolidate the foundation of the country." ”
Originally, it was just the sparse voice of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
But soon, one after another in the civil official queue walked into the center of the hall and bent down in front of Zhu Di.
It wasn't until all the officials except Xun Gui bent down that the voice of the prince finally turned into a thunderbolt that resounded throughout the palace.
A long period of silence followed.
Baiguan bent down, and Zhu Di's expression still had no emotion.
And the ministers, without Zhu Di's answer, had to bend over all the time.
Time passed minute by minute, and the hall was so quiet that it could be heard except for the breathing of civil and military officials.
Just when Chen Kan was about to get impatient with waiting, a figure suddenly walked into the outside of the main hall.
Black monk's robe, triangular eyes, shaped like a sick tiger.
The person who came was none other than the Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao's footsteps were very light and heavy.
It was as light as a cloud in the sky, and as heavy as a giant hammer smashing down on everyone's hearts.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk is late."
A short and slightly apologetic word suddenly made a smile appear on the face of Zhu Di, who was like a god on the dragon chair.
Zhu Di got up from the dragon chair, looked at Dao Yan condescendingly, and said with a smile: "It's good to come." ”
The director folded his hands and announced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha." ”
Zhu Di stood tall, but his gaze was unprecedentedly gentle, and Dao Yan stood low, his face as indifferent as ever.
Zhu Di asked: "Sir, should you establish a reserve?" ”
Dao Yan bowed: "It should be established." ”
Zhu Di asked again: "Who to erect?" ”
Dao Yan said: "The eldest prince is blazing, benevolent and filial by nature, good at governing the people, and has the posture of a benevolent monarch. ”
Zhu Di bowed his head: "Then stand high." ”
Dao Yan clasped his hands together: "Good." ”
After a short conversation, the position of the prince of the Ming Dynasty was thus established in the conversation between an emperor and a monk.
Zhu Di stepped down from the dragon chair and asked, "Sir, do you want to watch the ceremony?" ”
Dao Yan shook his head: "No, there are a lot of idle things in the temple, so the poor monks will go." ”
"Sir, go slowly!"
Zhu Di watched Dao Yan walk out of the main hall and turned back to the dragon chair.
From Dao Yan entering the main hall and walking out of the main hall, the whole process took less than a minute, but the ministers didn't even dare to breathe.
"Zhuqing, flat."
Zhu Di's voice sounded, and the ministers gasped at the same time.
It's obviously only a few tens of seconds, but the ministers are as long as if they have been suppressed for decades.
The ministers got up, and Zhu Di asked, "Where is Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”
Song Li stepped forward: "The minister is here." ”
Zhu Di: "Prepare the prince's golden book, sue the temple, announce to the world, and establish the emperor's eldest son Gao Chi as the prince." ”
"Obey the order!"
Song Li ordered the order to return to the queue.
Zhu Di asked again: "Where is Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?" ”
Zheng Ci: "The minister is here." ”
Zhu Di said indifferently: "I ordered the Ministry of Industry to repair the East Palace and open the mansion and build a government." ”
"Command!"
Zhu Di: "Where is the filial piety of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households?" ”
“......”
