Chapter 24: The Minister Has a Plan
Although Zhu Di is a hooligan, the ancestral system does not dare to change it, especially the use of troops against vassal countries, which involves a lot, and there must be a full excuse.
Li Qing and Dao Yan glanced at each other, both at a loss.
This is not to say that you can fight, if you are not careful, all the vassal countries will turn their faces, and they will even huddle together to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Zhu Di said unhappily: "If you two have bad stomachs, don't you have any way?" ”
Two: "......"
Li Qing thought for a while, and prepared to pick the bones in the eggs, "Your Majesty, if the minister is not mistaken, this time the tribute Annan did not come." ”
He said murderously: "If you don't come to pay tribute today, Ming'er will dare to rebel, and Annan can't stay." ”
"Annan's envoys have come to pay tribute." Xiaopang continued, "I came earlier than other vassal countries, and the king personally led the tribute, and you were not in the court at that time." ”
"That's it!" Li Qing sneered, "There is no way for that minister." ”
Dao Yan, who had been silent, suddenly lit up his eyes and said, "Has the emperor noticed that the tributary King of Annam is a little unusual?" ”
"I take care of all the opportunities all day long, how can I take care of these trivial matters." Zhu Di shook his head and said, "If you have any discoveries, just say it." ”
Dao Yan nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister remembers that the royal family of Annan is surnamed Chen, but the king who came to worship this time is surnamed Li, what is the name of Li?" ”
"Li Jichen!" Xiaopang added, "He is the grandfather of the former king of Annam, but when people came to pay tribute, they explained the situation, their king was gone, and he was involved in politics on his behalf." ”
Li Qing frowned: "Something is wrong, there is a problem, there is a conspiracy." ”
"Oh? What conspiracy? "Zhu Di is interested.
Li Qing arched his hand, "Your Majesty, there are more than one or two members of the royal family, even if the king is gone, he can be replaced by other royal family members!"
It won't be his turn! ”
Zhu Di's old face turned red, and he felt that Li Qing was secretly poking and prodding him, "Ahem, what do you want to say?" ”
"Hehe......" Li Qing smiled slightly, "The minister has a plan!" ”
"Do you still have a plan?" Zhu Di was surprised.
Li Qing nodded: "Actually, it's very simple, send someone to find the royal family of Annan, and then canonize him as the king of Annan, and let him go back to take over the throne." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Dao Yan gave up his hand and suggested, "The emperor can let people from Laos, Mengyang and other places find it, which must be much more efficient than Jinyiwei." ”
Zhu Di frowned, and for a while he couldn't understand what this had to do with the conquest of Annan.
Xiao Pang explained, "Father, you said that if our Ming Dynasty sends a king back, what will happen to that Li Jichen?" ”
Zhu Di was stunned, and then laughed.
If it was him, he would be slaughtered on the spot.
Zhu Di was looking for Zhu Yunwen in order to kill him.
And once Li Jichen slaughtered the king of Annan canonized by the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty sent troops in a justified manner.
And in this way, other vassal states will not only not be afraid, but will be more cordial to the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty is protecting the rights and interests of the vassal royal family.
Proper political correctness, the teacher is famous!
"This plan is good, wonderful, wonderful!" Zhu Di was so happy that his face turned red with excitement, "Gao Chi, you immediately order someone to do it, and you must find the members of the Annan royal family." ”
Zhu Di was overjoyed, "By the way, let the imperial dining room prepare wine and food, such a beautiful thing, you have to celebrate it well." ”
Little Fat arched his hand and said, "Erchen obeys." ”
……
Zhu Di was in a very good mood, so he sat down and talked about sending troops.
"This is a good opportunity to promote the prestige of the country." Zhu Di's eyes were bright, "At that time, I want to advance by land and water, pacify Annan in one fell swoop, and take it into my pocket!" ”
Dao Yan asked: "Your Majesty, is there still money in the treasury?" ”
"There must be something to say about that!" Zhu Di said with a smile, "Don't listen to Xia Yuanji crying poor, the treasury is not so poor, plus this time I copied so much money from the rich gentry, how can I not even have the money to send troops." ”
Compared with Annan, Li Qing is more concerned about the situation outside the Guan, "Your Majesty, how is the situation in Mobei?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Di became serious, "They are indeed merging, but they are still far from reunification." ”
After a pause, "Actually, it's okay, it's better to gather together than Ming to send troops, if you really want to fight one tribe after another, it's too damn expensive and time-consuming, and when you make money from the sea, it's not too late to send troops to them." ”
Li Qing nodded, Li'er is such a Li'er, but watching Yuanren grow up like this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Seeing his melancholy face, Zhu Di smiled and said, "I know them better than you, don't worry, the Yuan people regard looting as a matter of course, they can't rob the Ming Dynasty, they can only fight in the nest, and it is impossible to be unified in the true sense." ”
Zhu Di said, "For example, rice is harvested three times in two years, and on average, an acre of farmland has an annual yield of nearly 500 catties, which can feed two adults;
And one acre of grassland can also raise two sheep, and two sheep are enough for an adult for more than a month at most;
Nomadism and farming are too far apart, and there are not enough resources, so they can only compete with each other. ”
"The emperor should not be careless." Dao Yan persuaded, "Having said that, in the process of fighting, the combat power of the Yuan people will also increase day by day. ”
"Hey...... It's going to be a fart! Zhu Di said compassionately, "In the past two years since I ascended the throne, every time winter approaches, I will let the border soldiers go deep into Mobei, light the hay, set fire to the plain, and the cattle and sheep have nothing to eat, can their lives be better?"
The population can't grow, even if it can fight again, what can it do? ”
Dao Yan smashed his mouth, and arched his hand, "The emperor is shengming!" ”
Li Qing also sighed for a while, the fourth child is really yin, this trick can be called a desperate plan.
But in this way, the big war between the two sides will not be far off.
Once the Yuan people reach the point where they rob each other and it is difficult to survive, they can only take one way to plunder the Ming Dynasty.
However, Daming has strong city walls and powerful cannons, so there is no big problem in defending the city.
Zhu Di stretched his waist and said murderously: "Now I just want to make money, I don't have time to deal with them, and when I have my hands free, I will make them look good." ”
He was full of confidence: "In my lifetime, I will definitely calm the grassland." ”
"Your Majesty." The two of them slapped their ass.
For the sycophants of these two, Zhu Di was quite useful, and laughed.
After talking about the military for a while, Zhu Di turned to talk about cultural governance, such as: water control in western Zhejiang, reform of the household registration system......
Looking at Zhu Di who was dancing with his eyebrows, Li Qing was happy in his heart, why not be prosperous if there was such an emperor in the Ming Dynasty.
Although the fourth child is not a good person, usurping power and seizing the throne, and even wanting to kill his nephew, so what, it does not prevent Zhu Di from being a good emperor.
Xiao Xiaozhu is a good person, with a noble character and a virtuous corporal, but he is not the material for being an emperor.
If he continues to work, it is estimated that he will not be able to retire, and the Ming Dynasty will be no different from the Song Dynasty.
chatted for more than half an hour, and didn't stop until Zhu Di was tired of talking.
Zhu Di took a sip of tea and wondered, "Why do I think something is missing?" ”
"What's missing?" Li Qing asked.
"Young ......" Zhu Di looked at the teacup in his hand, looked back at his taste, and scolded: "The wine and food, it's been so long, even the bear's paw is ready!" ”
At this time, Xiaopang hurried back, panting and said, "Father and Emperor have all orders." ”
"Aang." Zhu Di said in an unkind tone, "Why hasn't the wine and food come up yet?" ”
"Huh? This ......" Xiaopang's face was hot, and he sneered, "Erchen has already been informed, and he will be able to come up in a while." ”
Zhu Di still didn't understand, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat, so he deliberately notified the imperial dining room after he was busy.
He immediately became angry, "Good boy, you're so greedy, aren't you?" ”
"Father's anger is at ease." Xiao Fat snorted, "In front of the ministers, give me a face, I am also the prince...... Oops, Brother Qing, you say something. ”
Li Qing and Dao Yan grabbed Zhu Di's arm left and right, so that Xiaopang could escape.
Zhu Di looked at his son's fat and was annoyed, and hummed: "Give you half a year, you can't lose weight, Lao Tzu will help you lose weight." ”
"Then you better just help Erchen lose weight." With the help of Li Qing and Dao Yan, Xiaopang is a little presumptuous.
Zhu Di sneered: "Take the knife!" ”
“…… Father, I think I can lose weight. "From tomorrow onwards, I will start exercising and eating less." ”
Immediately saw the wine and food coming up, and changed his words: "It's the last meal, let my son have a full meal!" ”
Shame on people, Lao Tzu Hero I, why did you give birth to such a thing...... Zhu Di supported his forehead.
……
After eating and drinking, the chubby belly was round and satisfied.
Seeing that his father was snorting and leaving, he whispered, "Brother Qing, do you have a way to make me lose weight?" ”
"Eat less and exercise more."
"It's okay to eat less, exercise...... Forget it. "I've tried it many times, but it's useless, I'm fat when I drink water." ”
Li Qing said speechlessly: "That was before you drank water, you ate braised pork, sauced duck, and braised pigeon...... Drink the water last. ”
"I'm serious." Chubby complained, "You're a doctor, there must be a way to make me lose weight." ”
"Yes, yes, but you will be sinned." Li Qing smiled bitterly and said seriously, "But you do have to lose weight, you build it like this, and it will be difficult to live to fifty." ”
"So serious?" Chubby was startled, "I think my body is okay, three times a day is not a problem." ”
Speaking of this, he complained again, "What kind of medicine did you prescribe to me last time, I get sleepy as soon as I take off my pants, it's really... It makes me very embarrassed. ”
"......" Li Qing said angrily, "Then do you want to lose weight?" ”
"It's definitely minus!" Chubby sighed, "I don't want to be cut by my father." ”
"That's it, I'll go back and study a way out." Li Qing encouraged, "Although you can't lose weight like King Zhao, it's still possible to lose weight to one hundred and eighty pounds." ”
