The next day, the decree of the two kings to be granted the same title was passed to the cabinet.
The ministers in the cabinet naturally saw through the emperor's intention, and they actually had the power to reject the decree.
But just as Yan Chenhao expected, they had just experienced the turmoil and did not want to cause more trouble, nor did they want to really break up with the emperor.
Shen Shixing folded his hands, and the old god was sipping tea on the ground, looking like he didn't care at all.
Xu Guo and Wang Xijue looked at each other, and in the end they could only sigh helplessly.
Let’s leave what happens next to future generations!
They also expressed their agreement, and Zhao Zhigao had no other opinions.
This decree was issued from the cabinet.
Of course, it still caused a stir among the ministers. Fortunately, as Yan Chenhao expected, the ministers no longer share the same hatred due to the setbacks in the past few days. Many important ministers are now cautious in their words and deeds and do not care at all. Dare to take the lead.
Although many people still came to oppose it, it was far less aggressive than when hundreds of ministers resigned before, and there was no sense of oppression at all.
So Wanli simply ignored those memorials.
The two kings were sealed together, and this became a foregone conclusion.
In the magnificent Wuying Hall, Emperor Wanli announced an edict, officially naming Zhu Changluo as the Honored King and Zhu Changxun as the Fu King.
At the same time, he also issued a decree for the two kings to go out to study at the same time, and arranged lecturers for both.
Zhu Changluo's lecturer was a young man randomly selected from the Hanlin Academy, and Zhu Changxun's lecturer was Yan Chenhao - of course, this was the pillow wind that Zheng Guifei blew to Wanli.
Because most of the officials in the court are currently opposed to making Zhu Changxun the crown prince, Concubine Zheng naturally does not trust these people to teach her son. It is impossible for Shen Shixing, the chief minister, to be the teacher of Prince Fu, but Yan Chenhao is in compliance with the requirements.
Regarding Yan Chenhao, Concubine Zheng has no worries.
Yan Chenhao himself also holds a favorable attitude towards this appointment and dismissal.
Although his official position was demoted on the surface, in fact, his future was even more limitless.
If they can succeed, then he will be promoted to Imperial Master in one fell swoop, even...like his ancestor.
So Yan Chenhao, who had just been promoted, changed his position again.
The king-conferring ceremony ended like this.
Four-year-old Zhu Changxun didn't know what this meant, but he still obeyed his mother's words and stood on the stage cautiously and seriously, trying not to look at his mother who stood behind the emperor with tears in her eyes.
The way he held his head high made many courtiers look askance.
Eight-year-old Zhu Changluo was already somewhat sensible. There was unwillingness and sadness in his eyes, but they were soon replaced by fear and cowardice.
His lips pursed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out.
Yan Chenhao watched all this from below, feeling the difference between the two, and couldn't help but smile.
"The two kings were granted the title together, and the prince went out to study...the seeds have been planted."
"Your Majesty, let's wait slowly for it to sprout..."
"All this takes time..."
…
Japan.
In a cherry blossom forest.
The pink cherry blossoms are blowing in the wind, looking so beautiful.
But the people in the center of the cherry blossom forest only felt the tense atmosphere.
The two teams were lined up on both sides, with a wooden house in the middle where important figures from both sides were negotiating.
Although the muskets in the hands of the guards were all pointing toward the sky, and the long knives were in sheaths, judging from the way they held the hilts of their knives firmly and stared at the opposite side, they did not trust each other.
Fortunately, hearty laughter soon came from the room. Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Yan Shiyi, the contemporary governor of Luzon Governor's Palace, walked out side by side, both holding a treaty in their hands.
This is a non-aggression treaty. The Luzon Governor-General's Palace recognized Toyotomi Hideyoshi's status and promised not to expand, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi would not use troops against the Luzon Governor-General's Palace.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually proposed other conditions, such as giving him part of the share of the Iwami Silver Mine for military expenses, but Yan Shiyi firmly rejected it, and at the same time he showed that he was not willing to fight for it. .
Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought about the sophisticated muskets and artillery in the Luzon Governor's Palace, and finally gave up the idea. At this time, he has basically completed the reunification and is not willing to cause more trouble. After all, he also knows the power of the Luzon Governor's Palace. As long as the other party does not have other claims on Japanese land, he is willing to treat them as an ordinary person. 's famous name.
Moreover, he has also developed greater ambitions, and he really does not want to get entangled with Luzon in this place.
As for the two counties they occupied... It has been more than a hundred years. The people in those two counties can no longer even speak Japanese. They completely think that they are people from the Luzon Governor's Palace. He went Isn’t it unpleasant to “recover”?
The two smiled, saluted each other, and then said goodbye, just like a pair of old friends.
As soon as they separated, Yan Shiyi's expression changed instantly:
"Tell the military department that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is eager to unify Japan, and he is afraid that he has some plot, which may be aimed at the Ming Dynasty, and let them prepare to launch plan No. 1 immediately."
After hearing this, the staff on the side hesitated and said:
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi is indeed very strategic in leading his troops, but if he wants to confront the Ming Dynasty, this, this is a bit..."
He did not continue, but the Governor took up his words:
"Don't overestimate your capabilities, right?"
"I don't know which charlatan told Toyotomi Hideyoshi that Ming Dynasty is now vulnerable, which made him have such great ambitions."
"The whale swallowed the Ming Dynasty... Hehe, we don't even dare to think about it!"
"But that's fine. According to our survey, Japan's total domestic military strength is about 300,000. This number is still too many."
Yan Shiyi's eyes flashed with ambition. Zu really had a clever plan. Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually had a crush on Ming Dynasty. This was a God-given opportunity. Even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi underestimated Ming Dynasty, but there were not hundreds of thousands of people, he was the same. There will be no war.
This time was an opportunity. He had already set his sights on the gold and silver treasure land of Japan. Iwami alone had provided the family with an unknown amount of funds over the years, not to mention other gold and silver minerals.
It's just a pity that Japan's military strength is actually not bad. Especially in the late Warring States period of Japan, the scale of the war became larger and larger, until it finally reached hundreds of thousands of people. Although I can't say what the combat effectiveness is, at least this number Blurring indeed.
He once tried to send people to take advantage of the war to expand, but he did not expect that these guys would fight to the death themselves. Facing them, he was quite united and mobilized 100,000 people to suppress the border. At that time, they happened to be launching an attack on Nanyang. War cannot be fought on two fronts, so in the end we can only retreat.
Now, the Governor-General of Luzon has completely unified the islands in Southeast Asia, and the total military strength has reached 200,000. He is confident that he can win this continent.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi...when his ambition reaches its peak, it will also be the time of his demise.
