The group of people walked around the Fengtian Hall in a mighty manner, and the Habayashi Zuowei who was in charge of guarding all along the way gave way to the walking salute. It is said that no one is allowed to come and go in this area at this time, but who dares to stop the Crown Prince.
When Zhu Biao stepped into the Wuying Hall, Guiyi Hou Mingsheng had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the prince, he came forward to greet him and saluted: "I am here to see your highness, the prince."
"Well, how have you rested these past few days?"
Zhu Biao naturally sat up and asked with a smile. Ming Sheng had been in contact with him for a long time and was no longer so frightened. He responded with a smile: "Wei Chen has nothing else to do after returning to Beijing. It is just to accompany Jia Ci. It is also leisurely." "
After all, Ming Sheng, Chen Li and others are in an awkward position. Although they are nominally nobles, they have no real power at all. They don't even need to attend the morning court on weekdays. They only have the opportunity to show their faces during major festivals.
After a few pleasantries heated up the atmosphere, Zhu Biao pointed out: "Liu Bowen, the political minister of Pingzhang in Sichuan, has come to beg for his bones again. I also pity his old, weak and sick, but the governance of Sichuan is really inseparable from others."
Ming Sheng thought that the prince wanted him to recommend a candidate. After all, there were indeed many talented and learned people among the former ministers of Ming Xia. Naturally, he, the lord of his homeland, knew best.
Ming Sheng thought for a moment and bowed, "I don't dare to speak nonsense about local political affairs, but when your Highness asks, I don't dare to make any nonsense. I can only try to recommend a few people. I would like to ask Your Highness to make a wise decision as to whether they are suitable."
Zhu Biao observed Ming Sheng's expression and slowly said: "It is extremely difficult to take over the military and political power of a province and to control the important officials of one side. Especially since Sichuan is close to Yunnan and Guizhou, there have been many wars in recent years, and the people are worried and suffering. Talents Prestige is indispensable.”
"This palace belongs to you."
Ming Sheng was fine when he heard the first sentence, but the last sentence frightened him so much that he fell to his knees. Since ancient times, there is no reason why a king who has subjugated his country can return to his homeland, let alone open a government office, build a government, and govern a border. Now, could it be to test whether he still has any disobedience?
"I don't dare to have this intention... I... I am... I am happy here and don't miss Shu!"
Ming Sheng did not hesitate to depreciate himself as a helpless Adou, which shows how frightened he was. Zhu Biao did not sneer but said seriously: "You are not the empress of Shu, and I am not Sima Zhao. I sincerely treat you as a scholar of the country. I hope you won’t make any excuses.”
"This this…"
It’s not as if Nuo Da’s imperial court couldn’t find any talented people from the borderlands, but Sichuan was in a special situation after all. Not only was it connected to Yunnan and Guizhou, but it was also an important place for the Ming Dynasty to intervene in the Southeast Asian countries in the future.
What is needed is a long-term and stable person to govern. Liu Bowen is old, and most of the other people with sufficient qualifications and abilities are also older and do not meet Zhu Biao's standards.
Although Mingsheng was young, he was a serious old master. During the two generations of his father Ming Yuzhen's power, he practiced frugality, promoted culture and education, warded off heresies, and reduced taxes. There was no long-term large-scale military war in the territory. action.
Compared with the turmoil in other places and the decline of the people, one side only relies on the well-off society. Although it has not lasted forever, the people still lament that they cannot express their thoughts on the virtuous Shu people in words.
If you have prestige, talent, and popularity, why not use it?
"I have given an order to Marquis Chengyi to build an ancestral hall outside the Chengdu Mansion to commemorate my father's merits. On the day it is completed, the imperial court will confer an imperial conferment on it, and a minister from the Ministry of Rites will come to pay homage to it in person."
Other Mingsheng could refuse, but as the son of man, he could never refuse this matter. He knelt on the ground and said, "I thank Your Highness for your kindness. I wish I could break my body to pieces as repayment."
"It doesn't have to be like this, Liu Jin, give Marquis Guiyi a seat."
Liu Jin responded and helped Ming Sheng up. The little eunuch on the other side moved a brocade stool. Ming Sheng stood up and said with tears in his eyes and choked with sobs: "I thank you... Your Highness, please... I'd like to trouble Eunuch Liu."
Liu Jin helped him sit down and said with a smile: "Master Marquis, please take a seat. His Highness often said that Master Hou is outstanding in his class. His talents and virtues are unparalleled. Now he is finally entrusted with the important task of honoring the ancestors. Master Hou must seize it." Chance."
Ming Sheng was just one year older than Zhu Biao, and he could still maintain his dignity on weekdays, but when faced with this sudden surprise and joy, he was overcome with sadness. .
Zhu Biao also had some sympathy, of course, mainly because the Ming family had no grudges against the old Zhu family. Ming Yuzhen stayed in Shu and did not participate in the world competition, but she was different from Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng.
He took out a handkerchief embroidered with cloud and dragon patterns from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Jin, asking him to deliver it to Ming Sheng. He has always been generous with his kindness and punishment. Since he wants to use it, he will not be stingy with the reward, as long as the reward is appropriate, if If he gets a benefit but fails to do the job well, he will not hesitate to be punished.
Not to mention how grateful Ming Sheng was when he took over the scarf. After he gradually calmed down, Zhu Biao said, "I have asked people to sort out the memorials and documents from Sichuan in the past two years. You should read them carefully when you return."
Ming Sheng stood up and solemnly responded: "The people of Shu respect Zhuge Wuhou the most. Although I am despicable, I do not have the talent of Wuhou to govern the country and stabilize the country. I hope to imitate his loyalty and work hard to govern Shu to repay His Highness's trust." If there is any reciprocity for the kindness encountered, I will be willing to suffer the pain of being delayed."
Zhu Biao believed that what he said at this time was indeed from the bottom of his heart, but people's hearts are changeable. What he thought after returning to his homeland and encountering old inducements and instigations is another matter. However, these are insignificant, because Ming Sheng He is a smart man, just like Liu Chan who is happy but not thinking about Shu.
Before Yunnan and Guizhou were settled, Ming Xia was easily captured by the Ming Dynasty. Now that Yunnan and Guizhou are settled, and the army conquering the south is powerful, Ming Sheng's courage to counterattack is just to add more food to the plate.
It won't even be the turn of the Conquest Army. The group of people who instigated and induced Mingsheng to restore the country would take over Mingsheng immediately and use it as a stepping stone for their own promotion. How many years can it take to rule a place before they can be promoted and capture prisoners? It is no exaggeration to say that an emperor who rebelled and established a country has great achievements. Who can rise to the top in one step?
Thinking about this, Mingsheng himself understands this. Restoring the country is just misleading others and himself. If he has that kind of leisure, he might as well work harder to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty. Instead of seeking the title of a prince, at least change the name of this prisoner-like marquis. , leaving hereditary wealth and honor to his descendants, and living up to his father’s spirit in heaven.
Zhu Biao stood up, touched his palms and smiled: "Since I trust you, I will no longer doubt you. Work with peace of mind, and you will be rich and prosperous in the future."
"promise."
Then the two of them talked about the recent memorials and documents from Sichuan. Mingsheng received royal education in governing the country and the people since he was a child, and he also personally managed the government affairs. Although he was still young and had little experience, he had a good view of the overall situation.
I think there will be nothing wrong if we just follow the policy plan left by Liu Bowen, and there will be no need to worry when we have enough experience in a few years.
Zhu Biao insisted on using Ming Sheng and asked him to return to his homeland to rule. The main reason was to show his political attitude. Yunnan and Guizhou include the Southeast Asian countries. There are few Han people and many native barbarians. The main reason for resisting the Ming Dynasty is that he is afraid of his own homeland. Status is not guaranteed.
He was afraid that he would become a prisoner after surrendering and would inevitably die sooner or later.
Zhu Biao used Ming Sheng to tell them that as long as they truly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they would not only still be able to enjoy wealth and honor, but also have the opportunity to rule a country and become the frontier officials of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Zhu Biao did think so. It would be great to get land and people at the lowest cost. If they are really talented, why not use it.
The official career is the best prison. If you are trapped in it, you will only want to climb up. After a few generations, the assimilation will be completed. At that time, no one else needs to say it. They will take the initiative to abandon the old inheritance and join in the glory and splendor with all their lives. of Ming Dynasty.
A country that is truly confident is not afraid of being understood, not to mention that China is a civilization disguised as a country. Its assimilation power in this era is very scary. As long as they dare to understand deeply, they will not be able to escape.
After Yesudieer became Khan, he was determined to restore the Mongolian tradition. This was because too many Mongolian nobles had been assimilated by the Central Plains. If they did not change quickly, sooner or later, even people and land would be dedicated to the Ming Dynasty.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This is the truth.
