Chapter 8 Sealing the King, Leaving the Pavilion to Study, and Japan
The next day, the decree of the two kings was transmitted to the cabinet.
Naturally, the cabinet ministers also saw through the emperor's intentions, and they actually had the power to reject this will.
But as Yan Chenhao expected, they who had just experienced that turmoil didn't want to cause more trouble, nor did they want to really tear their faces with the emperor.
Shen Shixing clasped his hands, and the old god was sipping tea on the ground, looking like he didn't care at all.
And Xu Guo and Wang Xijue glanced at each other, and finally could only sigh helplessly.
Leave the matter to future generations to solve!
They also agreed, and Zhao Zhigao had no other opinions.
The decree was issued from the Cabinet.
Of course, it still caused a wave among the ministers, but fortunately, as Yan Chenhao expected, now the ministers are no longer so hostile because of the frustration of the past few days, and many important ministers are now cautious in their words and deeds, and they dare not come forward at all.
Although there are still many people who oppose it, it is far from the momentum of Baichen's resignation before, and there is no sense of oppression at all.
So Wanli directly ignored those notes.
The two kings were sealed, and it became a foregone conclusion.
In the magnificent Wuying Palace, Emperor Wanli announced an edict, officially crowning Zhu Changluo as the king of glory and Zhu Changxun as the king of blessing.
At the same time, he also issued a decree that the two kings should go out of the court to study at the same time, and arranged for lecturers for both.
Zhu Changluo's lecturer is a young man randomly selected from the Hanlin Academy, and Zhu Changxun's lecturer is Yan Chenhao - this is of course the pillow wind that Zheng Guifei blows to Wanli.
Because most of the officials in the court are currently opposed to making Zhu Changxun the crown prince, Zheng Guifei naturally does not worry about these people to teach her son, and it is impossible for Shen Shixing to be the teacher of King Fu, but Yan Chenhao meets the requirements.
For Yan Chenhao, Zheng Guifei is 10,000 at ease.
And Yan Chenhao himself also has an approving attitude towards this appointment and dismissal.
Although his official position on the surface has been reduced, in fact, his future is even more limitless.
If they can succeed, then he will be promoted to the rank of emperor in one fell swoop, and even ...... Like his own ancestor.
So Yan Chenhao, who had just been promoted, changed his position again.
The ceremony of sealing the king ended like this.
Four-year-old Zhu Changxun didn't know what this meant, but he still obeyed his mother's words, stood on the stage solemnly and seriously, and tried not to look at his mother standing behind the emperor with tears in her eyes.
The appearance of holding his head high made many courtiers look sideways.
Eight-year-old Zhu Changluo was already somewhat sensible, and there was unwillingness and sadness in his eyes, but he was immediately replaced by fear and cowardice.
His lips pursed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Yan Chenhao watched all this below, feeling the difference between the two, and a smile couldn't help but cross the corner of his mouth.
"The two kings were sealed, and the prince went out of the pavilion to study...... The seeds have been planted. ”
"Your Majesty, next, let's wait slowly, wait for it to sprout......"
"All this takes time ......"
……
Japan.
In the middle of a cherry blossom forest.
The pink cherry blossoms are scattered in the wind, and they look so beautiful.
However, the people in the center of the cherry blossom forest only felt the tense atmosphere.
Two teams of men were lined up, with a wooden house in the middle, in which important figures from both sides were negotiating.
Although the muskets in the hands of the guards were pointing towards the sky, and the long knives were in their sheaths, they did not trust each other from the way they held the hilt of their swords firmly and stared at each other.
Fortunately, hearty laughter soon came from the house, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the contemporary governor of the Luzon Governor's Palace, Yan Shiyi, walked out side by side, both holding a treaty in their hands.
It was a non-aggression treaty, in which the Luzon Governorate recognized Toyotomi Hideyoshi's status and promised not to expand again, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi would not use troops against the Luzon Governorate.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually put forward other conditions, such as giving him a part of the share of Iwami Silver Mine as military expenses, but Yan Shiyi resolutely refused, and at the same time put on an appearance that he would not hesitate to fight for it.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought about the sophisticated muskets and cannons of the Luzon Governor's Palace, but finally gave up on the idea. At this time, he had basically completed the unification, and he did not want to cause more trouble, after all, he also knew the strength of the Luzon Governor's Palace, as long as the other party did not have other claims to the land of Japan, he was willing to treat them as an ordinary daimyo.
Moreover, he has already developed greater ambitions, and he really does not want to entangle with Luzon in this place.
As for the two counties they occupy...... More than 100 years have passed, and the people in those two counties no longer even speak Japanese, and they completely think that they are from the Governor's Mansion of Luzon.
The two smiled and saluted each other, then said goodbye like old friends.
It's just that as soon as they parted, Yan Shiyi's face changed instantly:
"Tell the military department that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is eager to unify Japan, and I am afraid that there is a plan, and it is very likely that it is intended for the Ming Dynasty, so that they will immediately prepare to launch the No. 1 plan."
After listening to this, the staff on the side hesitated for a moment and said:
"This Toyotomi Hideyoshi, leading troops is indeed quite strategic, but if you want to confront the Ming Dynasty, this, this is a bit ......"
He did not continue, but the Governor took his words:
"It's not enough, is it?"
"I don't know which charlatan told Toyotomi Hideyoshi that Daming is now vulnerable, so he has such great ambitions."
"Whale swallows Daming...... Oh, we don't even dare to think about it! ”
"But fortunately, according to our survey, the total number of troops in Japan is about 300,000, which is still too much."
Yan Shiyi's eyes flashed with ambition, Zu really had a clever plan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi really thought about Daming, this is simply a godsend, even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi underestimated Daming, but without more than 100,000 people, he would not start a war.
At this time, it was an opportunity, he had already taken a fancy to Japan's treasure land of gold and silver, just one Iwami, I don't know how much money has been provided for the family over the years, not to mention other gold and silver minerals.
It's just a pity that Japan's military strength is actually not bad, especially in the late Warring States period of Japan, the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, until the end it has reached more than 100,000 people, although I dare not say how effective it is, but at least this number is really bluffing.
He once tried to send people to take advantage of the war to expand, but he didn't expect these guys to fight to the death by themselves, but they were quite united in the face of them, and mobilized 100,000 people at once to suppress the border, at that time they also happened to be waging war against Nanyang, and they couldn't fight on two fronts, so they could only retreat in the end.
And now, the Governor's Office of Luzon has completely unified the islands of the South Seas, and the total number of troops has reached 200,000, and he is confident that he will take this continent.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi...... When his ambition swells to its zenith, it will also be the time of his demise.
