The word "Nan" has been popular in Annan for hundreds of years and has been used since the Song Dynasty.
For Annan, it is of very important significance, which is equivalent to the integration and independence of the Annan nation.
Annan itself also has a large number of indigenous people, and now they have a greater sense of belonging to the country because of the word "Nang".
Although Chen Yong longed for power and was also afraid of the Ming Dynasty, he was still unwilling to say that the word "Nan" should be completely abolished on this matter.
After all, he also grew up in the land of Annan. He had always been a puppet before, but that didn't mean he was a fool.
After hesitating for a few times, Chen Yong said, "Mr. Zhao, this matter is too important for me, Annan. Can you allow me to think about this before making a decision?"
"You are also aware of the current situation in the imperial court. Almost all ministers are strongly opposed to this matter. If I insist on going my own way, I am afraid I will lose my heart as a minister."
This answer obviously made Zhao Yuanhong very dissatisfied.
The purpose of coming here this time is actually to use Chen Muyue's return to Annan to visit the relatives, so as to force the abolition of the word "Nan".
So much preparation has been done before, but Chen Yong obviously still thinks that the word "Nan" is very important to Annan.
Zhao Yuanhong knew very well that if he could not succeed this time, he would not have such a good opportunity next time.
It is difficult to force Chen Yong to do this. Although the guards of Annan Palace have all been replaced by Ming soldiers, it can be said that his life is under control.
But the condition to be achieved for abolishing the word "Nam" is that Chen Yonglai should take the lead and guide the ministers of the Annan court to remember together.
This is not just an edict, it involves too many things.
The customs that have existed for hundreds of years cannot be changed by all Annan people overnight. This requires a slow process.
And as long as all the top brass on Annan's side agree, Zhao Yuanhong, Liu Sheng and others can use this push to continuously influence all Annan people.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanhong said in a calm tone: "To be honest with the Emperor, an envoy has already reported to His Highness the Grand Sun about the Annan word."
"His Royal Highness Taisun is very surprised by this matter, because since Annan paid tribute to our Central Plains dynasty, no emperor of any generation has ever known about this matter."
"His Royal Highness Taisun means that Annan should belong to the Ming Dynasty again, rather than thinking about escaping from independence all the time."
"There is something I want to tell the emperor clearly. Now, not only is the Queen Mother Yue the concubine of the grandson, but also the princesses of Goryeo and Japan are the concubines of the grandson."
"Now His Highness Taisun is only twenty years old. In the next few decades, the Ming Dynasty will be in the hands of His Highness Taisun."
"According to the news, the first child born by the Grand Concubine is a princess, which means there are many possibilities. I think the Emperor should be very clear about this."
"If Concubine Yue can please His Highness Taisun at this time and have the possibility of being favored, then it is not impossible to give birth to a boy."
"And as long as a boy can be born, there is a slight possibility after all."…
"Compared to the Ming Dynasty, Annan is just a county. As long as Concubine Yue can be favored there, she will be able to support Annan a lot in the future."
Zhao Yuanhong also became ruthless at this time and simply put some matters that might involve the struggle in the Ming court directly on the table with Chen Yong.
Sure enough, when Chen Yong heard this, he naturally had many more thoughts in his mind.
According to Zhao Yuanhong, if his daughter gives birth to a son, it is very likely that he will obtain the status of a legitimate son.
Of course it doesn't mean that he can become the future Ming Prince.
Chen Yong is still very clear in his heart, but as long as he can become the legitimate son and gain the love of His Highness Taisun, then it is possible to obtain overseas vassal territory.
This also means that the overall power of Annan Kingdom will also be improved because of it.
I have to say that Chen Yong was indeed a little agitated at this moment.
Just this cake is not enough.
It was not enough for Chen Yong to make up his mind to abolish the word "Num".
Zhao Yuanhong continued to add firewood and said: "His Royal Highness Taisun's younger brother, Emperor Yunzhen, the Emperor must have heard of it."
Chen Yong nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it."
He said with some sigh, "This boy is unlucky. Who would have thought that His Highness Taisun would come back at this juncture after disappearing for ten years."
"Otherwise, this grandson of the Ming Dynasty would be Zhu Yunzhen."
The news that the Ming Dynasty canonized the crown prince must naturally be announced to both China and foreign countries.
Chen Yong, who first received the news, also clearly understood that Zhu Yunwen was the grandson.
At the time of the initial canonization, although there had not yet been a formal ceremony, all the envoys from various countries stationed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty had already spread the news back to the country.
Then Zhu Ying came out of nowhere, which was truly jaw-dropping.
Who would have thought that the eldest grandson of Huang Ming, who had been dead for ten years, would be resurrected like this.
At the beginning, no one believed it.
Even Chen Yong felt that there must be some conspiracy.
Later, with the excavation of the Tomb of Prince Yu in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, the bones inside disappeared, which made me somewhat convinced.
Of course, for kings of small countries like Chen Yong, they are only somewhat curious about these things. Believe it or not, it has little to do with them, and it is not their turn to say anything.
These are all the Ming Emperor's family affairs.
Whether it's true or false, as long as the Ming Emperor decides on it, nothing will change.
Zhao Yuanhong continued: "There is something that the emperor doesn't know yet. The vassal territory of Emperor Yunzhen's grandson has already been settled in the country of Champa."
"This news can be said to be top secret. I also want the Emperor to know the benefits and risks involved, so I informed the Emperor."
"The king of Champa also wants a lot of princesses. Now he wants to give up a city to Emperor Yunzhen's grandson to join the vassal. He proposed to pay tribute to the princess. I think His Highness the Grandson will definitely agree."
"Currently, the sea ban has been lifted. On the Maritime Silk Road, Champa is the first stop. There are countless benefits to be gained from this."
"From what I can see, in less than ten years, Champa's wealth is likely to surpass that of Annan."
"If Princess Champa is also favored by His Highness the Grand Sun, then some things will be difficult to say."…
This last paragraph can be said to have completely overwhelmed the final balance in Chen Yong's heart.
Annan and Champa are neighboring countries, and there is constant friction between them.
Local wars can even be said to be commonplace.
Among them, the reason why Hu Jiyou has the current authority is that he defeated Champa in a large-scale battlefield and regained the lost territory for Annan.
If, as Zhao Yuanhong said, Champa surpassed Annan in all aspects, how could Chen Yong be willing to accept it.
At this point, Zhao Yuanhong stopped.
After waiting for a while, he bowed his hands and said, "Please consider it carefully, Your Majesty. It can be said that this opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back."
At this point, Chen Yong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Please tell Mr. Zhao to tell Supervisor Liu that I agree with the abolition of the word "Nan"."
"I would like to invite Supervisor Liu to come to the palace to discuss the specific matters in detail."
Hearing Chen Yong relent, Zhao Yuanhong raised his brows, his eyes showed surprise, and said quickly: "Okay, I will go and tell Liu Jianjun now, and I will come to the emperor tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
With Chen Yong's agreement, Annan has taken a big step forward.
There will definitely be a lot of resistance to the abolition of the word "Nan", but as long as there is a beginning, Ming Dynasty can take the opportunity to intervene with force.
In terms of education and punishment, ensure the progress of the abolition of the word "Num".
On the surface, it is to abolish the word "Num", but in fact it is also a power reshuffle.
With the help of this matter,
Ming Dynasty's penetration of Annan's power will achieve critical success.
The next day.
After receiving the news, Liu Sheng immediately came to Annan Palace to discuss the matter in detail with Chen Yong.
The main provisions involved here are about how to promote the word Nom. The Annan nobles and people who are used to the word Nom will definitely resist at the beginning, and the policy promulgated by Chen Yong The edict is equivalent to an extension of the Annan royal power law.
Those who disobey must be dealt with severely.
There are so many different things here.
The third day.
An Nanchao meeting.
Chen Yong attended as the Supreme Emperor.
In Annan's emperor system, Chen Yong was actually the real emperor.
However, the edict of the Supreme Emperor was obviously more reliable than the edict of the King of Annan.
Of course, Chen Yong's edict previously had to be reviewed by Hu Jiya, but this is naturally no longer necessary.
At the court meeting, Hu Jisao saw Liu Sheng, Zhao Yuanhong appeared at the court meeting, and the emperor also appeared today.
I immediately felt that something was about to happen.
In the recent period of time, Hu Jishen's mind can be said to be confused.
For more than a year, the Ming Dynasty continued to infiltrate and bribe the officials who surrendered under its command.
Hu Jishen also knew this very well.
But there was no way to break up with Daming.
After all, the fifty thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are Liu Sheng and others' biggest trump card. Once the table is turned, Annan's side will not be able to resist.
Not to mention other places, at least the royal capital will definitely fall.
At present, all the generals in Annan also have their own ideas. Once the royal capital falls, it will be extremely difficult to gather strength to deal with the 50,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. ….
The key point is that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were in the name of protecting the royal family, which left ministers like Hu Ji Yao with a lot less room to play.
After realizing something was wrong, Hu Jiyou immediately coughed a few times, which could be regarded as a greeting to the officials under his command. No matter what happened later, he would try his best to stop it.
Sure enough, after the normal process was completed.
Chen Yongbian, the Supreme Emperor of Annan, also stood up and said from the top of the hall: "I, the Annan Kingdom, have belonged to the Central Plains since the beginning of the Central Plains Emperor."
"The First Emperor has decreed that the carriages should run on the same track and the books should have the same text. Therefore, our country in Annan has been using Chinese characters for thousands of years."
"During the period of chaos in the Central Plains, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were established, and I was able to establish a separate country in Annan."
"However, even after the founding of the country, Wu'an Nan Kingdom has always been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it continues to this day."
"Now there is the Ming Dynasty, which is strong and prosperous. It has driven out the Tartars and restored the unity of the Central Plains."
"The Kingdom of Annan belongs to me."
"Nowadays, in our country of Annan, the character Nan is used up and down, and the inherited Chinese characters are gradually becoming barren. This is our misfortune."
"I am now negotiating with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. I am issuing an edict today. From now on, the character "Nam" will be abolished. It is strictly forbidden for any word "Nam" to appear again in the country of Annan. From now on, the upper and lower parts will be unified and the Chinese characters will be used."
"If anyone is found using the word "Nan" for private purposes, he will be dealt with strictly. General Wei Xing of the Ming Dynasty and Supervisor Liu Sheng will be invited to jointly monitor the situation. If anyone is found using the word "Nan" for personal use, he has the right to deal with it himself.
"I hope that my Annan subjects will encourage each other."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Annan court held their breath.
Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows, but then calmed down.
The Grand Emperor Annan was somewhat cunning. In his words, he said that he seemed to have been coerced by the Ming Dynasty.
However, being able to reach this level already makes Liu Sheng extremely satisfied.
Hu Jiya, on his side, was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately stepped forward a few steps below the steps, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this edict is absolutely unacceptable!"
"The word "Nam" has been popular in our country for hundreds of years. The subjects have learned it since childhood. Now if it suddenly changes
If no one gets used to the change, it will inevitably cause turmoil in our country! "
Following Hu Jiyou's lead, other ministers also took the lead in kowtowing and saying words of comfort.
Even those who want to remain neutral in their hearts or are indifferent will naturally have no choice but to follow the situation when they see it.
Everyone knows the importance of the word Nom to Annan, which is the standard for national independence.
If it is true that all countries implement Chinese characters, wouldn't they become completely dependent states of the Central Plains Dynasty in the future?
Moreover, the development of the Nom character is now very mature. Many unique literary works written in the Nom character are also valuable assets of the Annan people.
This means that all the word "Num" should be banned.
And for some ministers, their lifelong study is based on the word "Nam". Many ministers have successfully entered official careers because of the word "Nam".
This is tantamount to destroying the foundation of their career.
Once the word "Nam" is cancelled, it means that they have to learn Chinese characters again. How can some old Annan officials still have the energy.
Faced with this situation, Chen Yong looked very angry, but there was a hint of secret joy deep in his eyes.
He would have expected this to happen, and his angry face could be said to be staged for Liu Sheng and other Han people to see.
I have issued an edict, but if everyone opposes it, there is nothing I can do.
Chen Yong smiled in his heart, and then looked at Liu Sheng and Zhao Yuanhong with troubled eyes.
The general meaning is that I have now accomplished what you asked me to do, but I cannot control the next situation, so I will let you deal with it.
If it doesn't work out, it's not my fault.
In Chen Yong's heart, he still doesn't want the word "Nun" to be abolished after all. Now it depends on Liu Sheng and others. .
