"This is impossible. The nobles in our country will definitely not support this, even if the Ming Dynasty really sends out navy to help."
Zhanwang Chaya's eyes looked panicked.
The next day, he was summoned to the Wu Palace, thinking it was because Ananya had really persuaded the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
Pretty much the same, actually.
However, Taisun did not receive him, but King Wu Zhu Yunwen came forward.
It was fine at first, but he knew all the conditions put forward by King Wu with his brain, and there was definitely no way to achieve them.
It is true that he is the king of the Champa Kingdom, but he does not completely control the Champa Kingdom.
When Chaya's father seized the throne, he gave up a lot of interests in order to gain the support of the vast majority of nobles and usurp the throne.
Similarly, Cha also made many promises to these nobles in order to successfully inherit the throne.
Otherwise, the current King Zhan would not be him.
In King Zhan's mind, none of these conditions were acceptable to the nobles.
Of course, he himself didn't want to agree.
Let those untouchables learn Chinese, and open free Chinese classes in all cities, and make laws to compel learning.
How can this be.
This is an insult to their noble status.
The reason why nobles are nobles is that they are born nobles. There is no one these untouchables can look up to.
The most important thing is that King Zhan feels that if he really does this, I am afraid that the power of the royal family will be completely emptied and he will become a puppet.
"This is what my eldest brother means. You should also know that my eldest brother's orders cannot be violated."
"I know you will get into a lot of trouble for this, but if you disobey brother's order, you may be in even greater trouble."
Zhu Yunwen shrugged and said nonchalantly.
These requirements were specially given to him by his eldest brother. Considering his current situation, it is naturally impossible for him to violate them.
Two days ago, he was severely scolded by his eldest brother, which scared him to death.
What he is most worried about is that he will be deposed from his position as overseas vassal king by his eldest brother.
Although the emperor's grandfather was here, the eldest brother might not give the order immediately, but Zhu Yunwen knew very well that if the eldest brother really had this intention, he would not have a good life in the end.
After all, the future of Ming Dynasty belongs to the eldest brother.
Fortunately, after telling her mother about this, her mother told her not to worry too much.
If the eldest brother really wants to punish himself, then there is no need to give him a lecture.
Now that he has been reprimanded and there was no other punishment at the time, this matter is the end of the story.
"Your Highness King Wu, do you think this will work? We no longer need the Ming Navy to patrol the western sea area."
King Zhan is now in a mess.
He originally wanted to use the relationship between Ananya and his concubine to bring greater benefits to the Champa country and at the same time consolidate his power.
But now it feels like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Zhu Yunwen frowned and scolded: "King Zhan, do you want my eldest brother to change his position?"
"I tell you, now is no longer the time for you to decide. When brother's order is issued, it means that this matter must be implemented."
Zhu Yunwen felt a little ridiculous.
You are just a street vendor haggling in the market. You just want to end it like this.
Where do you put Daming’s face, and where do you put Big Brother’s face?
"this...."
King Zhan was immediately in a dilemma.
If he agrees, there is no doubt that he will be spurned by almost all the nobles in the country, and his power as a king will be completely lost.
Can the royal family still be a royal family without the support of the nobles? They may soon be forced to abdicate.
But if you refuse, Daming Tai
The pressure here is what Sun is facing.
He didn't know how the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty would punish him.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, King Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, King Wu. Regarding the matter of opening a school, please forgive me for not being able to agree to it."
"This is the cultural heritage of our Champa Kingdom and the cornerstone of our Champa State. Making such huge reforms hastily may cause the entire Champa State to be in turmoil."
"Xiao Wang will personally plead guilty to His Highness the Grand Sun. No matter what kind of punishment it is, Xiao Wang will be willing to bear it."
After saying that, Zhanwang Chaye breathed a sigh of relief.
He had already figured out that if he disobeyed the Ming Dynasty's order, he would be punished at most. Maybe the punishment would be severe, but it would not cost him his life.
Even if he is forcibly removed from the throne, it doesn't matter much.
When this matter spreads, they will definitely gain the deep friendship of more local nobles, and they will know that they are doing this for the benefit of all the occupied countries.
The Ming Dynasty is indeed very powerful, but it can't go to war against the Champa Kingdom just because of such a thing.
After Zhu Yunwen listened, he couldn't help but look at Zhan Wang Chaye with a slightly silent look in his eyes.
He was a little stunned.
How dare anyone in this world dare to go against the will of Ming Dynasty?
In his heart, whether he is the emperor's grandfather or his eldest brother, Ming Dynasty is the supreme one.
And Ming Dynasty should be the ruler of this world.
At the beginning, the eldest brother just came with an edict, and the king of Zhan, including the nobles in his country, could not help but give Wuli, which is now Wucheng, to the Ming Dynasty as his own vassal state.
Now such a matter has to go against the wishes of the eldest brother.
"Have you thought about it?"
Zhu Yunwen asked again to confirm. He felt that he had heard wrong just now.
Zhan Wangcha also bowed and saluted: "The little king will definitely bear the thorn and apologize to His Highness Taisun."
Although Zhu Yunwen had been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, he did not understand the concept of civilization.
The cultural inheritance of Champa comes from Tianzhu, and there are also some shadows from other aspects.
But the fundamental thing is the nobility's maintenance of themselves.
Zhu Ying's approach was tantamount to lifting the fig leaf of aristocrats, completely shattering the so-called lie of being born aristocrats.
In fact, for the Central Plains, there was such a concept earlier.
However, with the sound of "Princes and Generals", the ideology gradually changed.
Until Zhu Yuanzhang, it was really the lowest level common people who got the position of emperor.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yunwen did not feel that the opening of the Chinese Academy would have any impact on the Champa Kingdom.
With King Zhan's answer, the pressure was placed on Zhu Yunwen.
When he first received the order from his eldest brother, he thought it was not a big deal. After all, there was a Ming army here that could subvert the entire Champa Kingdom.
The divination king will definitely know what’s interesting.
But now, things can't be done anymore.
I was scolded by my eldest brother two days ago. Now that I can't handle such a small thing well, wouldn't it disappoint my eldest brother even more?
No, it can't be like this.
"King Zhan, if you insist on disobeying my eldest brother's order, the future of Champa Kingdom will not be easy."
Zhu Yunwen's tone was a little cold, with a very strong threat.
On the contrary, Zhan Wang Cha also had his thoughts clear now, and could only pretend to be frightened and apologize to King Wu.
But he never mentioned the promise.
Zhu Yunwen felt like his head was getting big.
Now he has no way to really coerce.
In desperation, he could only let King Zhan leave first.
After thinking about it in his mind, Zhu Yunwen immediately went to find his mother, Mrs. Lu.
Lu was currently accompanying Ye Yueqing and others.
After all, they are all women.
After hearing the summons from the palace maid, saying that her son had something to ask for, he could only helplessly say to Ye Yueqing: "I'm really sorry, maybe Yunwen has encountered some difficulty."
Ye Yueqing said: "Your Majesty, it's better to deal with business matters."
Zhu Yuanzhang, including Zhu Ying, has not deprived Lu of his status as Crown Princess.
Although she is a successor, she is still a legitimate crown princess in legal terms.
After Zhu Biao passed away, the posthumous title given by Zhu Yuanzhang was also Prince Yiwen.
Ye Yueqing is the grandson concubine. From a relationship point of view, Lu is still Ye Yueqing's real mother.
Of course, Lu would not ask for trouble like this.
When she came to see Ye Yueqing this time, she did not mention her identity as the princess at all, but as an elder relative.
Even in terms of conversation and communication, Lu was very attentive, and even vaguely respected Ye Yueqing. To put it simply, she was fawning.
There is no way, she is only in name now, but Ye Yueqing is the future Empress of the Ming Dynasty.
It's true that she feels a little uncomfortable. After all, the position of queen should belong to her.
But the clever thing about Lu is that he knows his position very well.
If the grandson wanted to restore her mother's status as the crown prince's royal wife and thus deprive herself of her identity, she had no choice.
No matter what your status is, you can only succumb to power.
Lu had already figured this out in her heart.
After leaving, Lu met Zhu Yunwen.
Seeing his mother, Zhu Yunwen felt a lot less pressure.
During Wucheng's time as an overseas vassal, all difficult things would be solved in the hands of his mother, which also made him very dependent on her.
After all, he is still just a teenager.
Then he quickly recounted the conversation with King Zhan.
"Mom, this King Zhan is too abominable. Aren't they afraid that I, the Ming Dynasty, will attack him?"
"It's just that what are we going to do now? Brother just scolded me a few days ago, and I still can't handle what I'm told now."
Zhu Yunwen said a little dejectedly.
I thought it was just a small task, but I never thought it would be so troublesome.
After hearing this, Madam Lu frowned slightly.
She actually didn't expect that King Zhan would refuse so persistently.
"It seems that we underestimated the nobles of Champa Kingdom before."
"Judging from the fact that the King of Champa would rather be punished than persist, the nobles in Champa take their status very seriously."
"My mother was negligent. We should have thought about it when they were willing to pay so much to prevent the establishment of the Chinese Academy in Wucheng."
Lu quickly realized that the performance of King Zhan reflected the choices of the nobles of Champa State.
"Then what should we do?" Zhu Yunwen asked with a bitter face.
Lu thought for a moment and then said, "I can only tell my grandson the truth about the situation."
"King Zhan has made it clear that he will not carry out his grandson's decree. What can we orphans and widowers do in this country of Champa?"
"The 50,000 elite soldiers are just for self-protection. If we really want to fight against these nobles of the Champa Kingdom, the only way to do it is through the Taisun."
After that, he comforted Zhu Yunwen: "Don't worry, it's already reached this point. Just tell the truth to your grandson. Naturally, I won't blame you."
Zhu Yunwen nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll go find brother right now."
...
Inside the Palace of King Wu.
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head slightly and explained everything about occupying the king.
Then he looked at his elder brother cautiously.
When I saw the eldest brother's eyes became sharp, I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart.
Zhu Ying sneered and said: "This king divination is really interesting. Doesn't he think it doesn't matter if he pleases those nobles, even if he offends me?"
"It seems that in his mind, these Champa country
The nobles are more important than our Ming Dynasty. "
"Why don't we ask carefully about what's going on in Annan Country now? The lessons learned from the past are here, and yet we are still so stubborn."
Zhu Yunwen felt relieved.
He was afraid that his eldest brother would scold him.
Now that I heard that my anger had transferred, I felt relieved immediately, and immediately added some jealousy and said, "Brother, you don't know, that King Zhan really can't be taken seriously by me...our Ming Dynasty."
"I have already told him in detail that this is the edict of the eldest brother and represents the entire Ming Dynasty."
"But he doesn't agree to it and says he will go to the eldest brother to apologize."
"In my opinion, this King of Champa and the nobles of these Champa Kingdoms don't take our Ming Dynasty into their hearts, and they go against it in secret. They really need to be taught a lesson."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying turned around and asked, "Then tell me how you should teach them a lesson."
Zhu Yunwen was immediately embarrassed when he asked this question.
He tried to say: "How about brother, let's just use the army, so that they know they are afraid and they have to agree even if they don't agree."
Zhu Ying looked at Zhu Yunwen and asked, "Is it possible that just because of this incident, a war started between our Ming Dynasty and the Champa Kingdom?"
"The Champa Kingdom is easy to fight, but war should not be started lightly. Things like this are all about subtlety. If the people of the Champa Kingdom develop hatred towards me, the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult to handle in the future."
Zhu Yunwen said subconsciously: "Is this the end of it?"
Zhu Ying chuckled: "Are you kidding me? Forget it, there are plenty of ways to deal with these nobles."
After speaking, he looked at Zhu Yunwen. He now felt that Zhu Yunwen was really too simple, and how could he not even have the slightest hint of conspiracy.
In the final analysis, it was because he grew up in the hothouse of the palace and had not experienced any setbacks or hardships, so he was protected very well.
This also made Zhu Ying realize that if he wanted more princes to become overseas vassal kings, he would have to train them well.
Otherwise, if these princes go overseas and talk about expanding their territory, they will be played to death by some politicians with ulterior motives.
Smart people are not only found in the Ming Dynasty.
Conspirators are everywhere.
"Okay, you can talk to Song Zhong about this later. During this period, you can stay with Song Zhong to see what he does and learn from him."
