Cen Rui didn't want to use the power of the Cen family to deal with those chieftains.
I don’t even want to see the Cen family grow from expansion to destruction.
But Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have to solve the chieftain issue by doing this. Cen Rui was in a dilemma. He never imagined that he would be in a dilemma when he went to Beijing this time, and he never imagined that his majesty was having his own agenda.
"You are considerate."
Seeing Cen Rui like this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and stopped forcing anything.
He has no idea how to completely solve the problem of the chieftains in the south. Reforming the local chieftains may not necessarily be applicable in the south, but he can still continue to use the Cen family's local reputation to slowly stabilize it.
After hearing this, Cen Rui slowly exhaled and said: "Your Majesty, I can help your Majesty do what you want to do, but I will never dare to use the power of the Cen family. The Cen family really cannot grow, otherwise it will be It is self-destruction, please understand, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang even felt that Cen Rui was a good person. He nodded and said: "I can understand and understand your thoughts. Chieftain in the south, you can take care of it! As for the Cen family, you go back and warn them to behave themselves. We are not relatives of the emperor." It’s so easy to be a person, but if it doesn’t work, just let them go to Beijing and we’ll teach them how to be relatives of the emperor.”
In a remote place in Guishun Prefecture, the Cen family has high mountains and far away from the emperor, so they can do whatever they want.
But when he arrived in the capital, Lao Zhu had many means and took control of the Cen family.
There should be restrictions on the emperor's relatives and relatives, and they should not be allowed to be too unrestrained. This would not be good for the Ming Dynasty, nor would it be good for the good grandson.
"I understand!"
Cen Rui knew that this was already Lao Zhu, giving the Cen family the greatest tolerance.
After returning, he must restrain the Cen family members.
We cannot live up to His Majesty's expectations.
"Toast of the South, we all depend on you."
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
It can be regarded as fancy. Cen Rui's loyalty at this time and his willingness to be honest. Of course, Cen Rui's ability is still good.
Cen Rui kowtowed and said, "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations and devote myself to death."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily and said: "If there were more officials like you in the south, there wouldn't be so many chieftains in the south of the Ming Dynasty, who often think about rebellion."
Cen Rui kowtowed and said, "As a minister, I should do this."
"Okay, get up!"
Lao Zhu once again told him not to kneel.
Cen Rui did not insist on kneeling down. This time he really got up. His attitude was still respectful, and he stood in front of Lao Zhu with his head bowed.
"When you resolve the chieftain issue, we will consider sending you to Beijing as an official. If we are no longer around by then, our good grandson will do the same thing." Zhu Yuanzhang added.
In this way, it is a big cake for Cen Rui.
"Don't dare!"
Cen Rui shook his head and said: "As a relative, I don't dare to be a capital official. I just want to stay in Guishun Prefecture and Guangxi. Please make it happen."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said with a smile: "You are a smart man. You know what you should agree to and what you should not agree to. You also know the general principles and know the appropriateness."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Cen Rui breathed out slowly again.
I thought that in front of Lao Zhu, the pressure was really great. Fortunately, my ability to withstand pressure was not weak and I could still bear it.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay, you stay and have lunch with Tie Xuan later. Yun Qi, you go and send the good grandson and Tie Xuan back."
Yunqi took the order and went outside.
Cen Rui stood carefully next to Zhu Yuanzhang.
——
Zhu Xuan and Tie Xuan were walking in the imperial garden.
"You said, Grandpa Huang left Cen Rui, what do you want to say?" Zhu Xuan asked curiously.
"According to my guess, it should be about the southern chieftain."
Tie Xuan's judgment ability is very good. In fact, Cen Rui's matter is not difficult to judge. He continued: "The chieftains in the south often make troubles. Although His Highness conquered Annan and had weapons to scare the south, not everyone believes in those weapons of His Highness." Strong. Some ambitious chieftains, or chieftains whose interests have been undermined by the imperial court, can easily rebel. They are a destabilizing factor."
Zhu Xuan agreed: "What you said is correct, but if you use the Cen family to deal with the chieftain, then no one in the south can shake the Cen family in the future. If you are a relative of the emperor, you can do whatever you want!"
Tie Xuan smiled and said: "Back to Your Highness, I see that Master Cen is not a confused person. If Your Majesty really proposes this, I think Master Cen will not agree to it."
Cen Rui is a smart man.
Zhu Xuan and Cen Rui don't have much contact, but it can be seen that Cen Rui is very cautious.
He was originally a chieftain, but he was able to become the commander of the capital. At least his ability in the officialdom was not very weak.
"You're right."
Zhu Xuan agreed: "But the problem of toast does exist."
Tie Xuan said again: "Your Highness does not need to worry about this. Sir Cen should be able to solve this problem for His Highness, but he will not let the Cen family become the dominant one. His Majesty can give the Cen family some small favors to maintain stability, and then through Cen Rui, it is actually very easy." Easy to solve."
Hearing this, Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "You seem to be able to analyze everything clearly, and what you say is very correct and reasonable."
"I am just making random guesses. If you guess wrong, please punish me, Your Highness!"
Tie Xuan immediately said respectfully.
Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "That's right. It's a good guess. I also think that Grandpa Huang will definitely do this."
Tie Hyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yunqi came.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
Yun Qi came forward, bowed to Zhu Xuan first, and then said: "Your Majesty sent His Highness and Master Tie back to prepare for lunch."
Before I knew it, it was almost noon.
Zhu Xuan took Tie Xuan and went back to the main hall.
I saw Cen Rui sitting aside with some fear, lowering his head and not daring to look at anyone else.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Xuan was back, he immediately asked Xu Xingzu to prepare today's meal, and then ate together, finishing the meal with some excitement.
After meal.
Zhu Xuan sends them out of the palace.
Cen Rui took the initiative and told Zhu Xuan what happened just now.
Zhu Xuan and Tie Xuan looked at each other, and they could understand the deep meaning in each other's eyes, as if they were thinking, this is indeed the case.
"Your Highness, I will go back to see Hua'er first."
When they arrived outside the palace, Cen Rui said again: "Your Highness is seeing you off. I can no longer bear it. Please stop."
Zhu Xuan said: "Okay, I won't send it away, you all go back!"
"I resign!"
Tie Xuan and Cen Rui said in unison.
They walked away together, leaving the Xuanwu Gate, and drifted away. There was no carriage, but they took a few followers waiting outside, and disappeared on the long street outside the palace.
"It's almost time to get married."
Zhu Xuan was thinking.
I am still looking forward to getting married.
In his last life, he didn't live long enough to start a family and start a business. He did it in this life, which can be regarded as making up for the regrets he had before time travel.
"Go back to Grandpa Huang and talk about the toast."
Zhu Xuan was thinking.
Enemies on the grasslands in the north can be intimidated by force and can be attacked directly. However, the chieftains in the south still use methods that tend to maintain stability and assimilation. Unless they rebel, they will not send troops to fight.
