When Sanchao was born, the world was shaken.
What is the Kingdom of Heaven?
This was originally a boastful expression for an emperor who was overjoyed with his achievements.
Now, the gate of heaven opens and the celestial dynasty is born.
The world seems to finally know that this is what the heavenly kingdom should be like!
Each of the three dynasties commanded 100,000 troops.
Although there are few soldiers, even the people in the streets dare not underestimate these 100,000 heavenly soldiers!
Ming dynasty.
Above the court.
All the civil and military officials gathered together, and their hearts were filled with confusion.
Emperor Jiajing rarely went to court, and when necessary, he mostly discussed matters with his first and second ministers in Jinshen Jingshe.
Today, His Majesty actually announced an early morning dynasty?
The officials secretly thought in their hearts: The Ming Dynasty has descended on our country, and it has put so much pressure on Your Majesty. It is really terrifying!
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Long live my emperor!"
As the old eunuch Lu Fang sang, all the civil and military officials immediately knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
Emperor Jiajing walked like a dragon and a tiger.
Stepping on the imperial steps, sitting on the dragon chair, and receiving homage from hundreds of officials.
"Everyone loves you, please be safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When all the officials stood up, they couldn't help but quietly raise their heads while bowing to look at Emperor Jiajing's face.
It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but you will be frightened when you look at it!
Emperor Jiajing's eyes were bloodshot and his face looked tired, as if he had been working hard for days? !
"Today, we will discuss two things."
Emperor Jiajing spoke, and the officials immediately cheered up.
It was probably a matter of facing the Celestial Empire, and they couldn't deal with it carelessly.
"First, discuss merit."
"The prince has regained the lost territory of Yunzhou. I have not officially rewarded him yet."
"It is my fault that I do not reward my merits. Everyone in the world will scold me behind my back. From now on, I am afraid that no one will be willing to serve me, and they will have to choose another Mingzhu."
Emperor Jiajing's voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace, causing all the officials to kneel down in shock.
Choose another Mingzhu?
This is the crime of annihilating nine tribes. Who dares to bear it?
"I have sworn allegiance to His Majesty to the death, how dare I have any second thoughts?"
After listening to the officials expressing their loyalty, Emperor Jiajing only replied with two words.
"Let's discuss it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the first assistant, Yan Song, seemed to have been prepared for a long time and immediately went out to ask for the performance.
"Your Majesty."
"Since ancient times, those who have achieved military success have only received promotions, titles, money, and land."
"I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the country and the future emperor, and does not need official titles."
"The prince's merits are great. Just giving him money is not enough."
"The old minister suggested that in addition to giving money, His Majesty could allocate a state from the territory of the Ming Dynasty as a fiefdom for the prince."
"Before the prince ascends the throne, he can go to the fiefdom to govern the local people as a practice for governing the country in the future."
After listening to Yan Song's words, Xu Jie, the second assistant next to him, was already sweating profusely.
What a ruthless method!
What a vicious heart!
Throughout the ages, has there ever been a principle for a prince to become a feudal lord and stay away from the emperor and the court?
Such alienation from the prince was clearly an opportunity for King Jing to get close to Emperor Jiajing.
You can't let go of your traitorous tactics for a moment!
"good."
"Accurate!"
Xu Jie was trying hard to think of countermeasures, but he didn't expect that Emperor Jiajing agreed with Yan Song's memorial on the spot.
"His Majesty?!"
Xu Jie screamed and realized that he had lost his composure.
"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing glanced sideways at him and asked in a cold tone: "Ci Fu has something to say?"
Gudong!
Xu Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He had served Emperor Jiajing for many years and could clearly hear the warning in the emperor's voice.
However, Xu Jie had to fight for the sake of Prince Wanli.
"His Majesty!"
"The prince is not a vassal king, so it seems inappropriate to reward him with a fiefdom for his great achievements?"
After hearing what he said, Emperor Jiajing asked: "According to your opinion, just giving money is enough?"
Xu Jie's mouth twitched.
If my son wins the battle, I will reward him with some money and that's it. What about sending him a beggar?
Could it be said that this is an ancestral problem of the old Zhu family, that they like to be rewarded with two coins?
"No, the prince should be rewarded heavily, but the fiefdom is really..."
"Land is the foundation of the country!"
Emperor Jiajing suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Xu Jie's words.
"Isn't it a great grace for me to allocate a fiefdom to the prince?"
"Is it the Crown Prince who is dissatisfied? Or the Second Assistant?"
"In other words, I must abdicate early and reward him with this dragon throne!?"
Xu Jie's soul was almost scared away!
He knelt down in a hurry, and behind him, the minister knelt down in a clear stream.
"Your Majesty, minister... minister... minister..."
Xu Jie suddenly realized that this was probably a scene staged by His Majesty and Yan Song in order to wipe out Prince Wanli's military exploits in Yunzhou.
When Prince Wanli received a fiefdom, he would definitely not go and join the feudal clan, but would definitely find ways to stay in the capital.
Therefore, the fiefdom was equivalent to no fiefdom, and the entire Ming Dynasty was still owned by Emperor Jiajing.
But in name, His Majesty owes the Prince nothing.
Is it necessary for me to plot against my son to this extent?
"Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong, and I will withdraw my petition."
After all, Xu Jie had been in the Jiajing Dynasty for decades, and he had already mastered the skills of correcting his mistakes and swallowing his anger.
He also knew that His Majesty would not let Yan Song's family dominate. As long as he did not make a big mistake, he would eventually be tolerated by His Majesty and stay in the court to check and balance Yan Song.
"Xu Jie's disgrace in front of the palace will punish him with a year's salary." Emperor Jiajing said calmly.
"Thank you...Your Majesty for your tolerance."
Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and it turned out to be what he had guessed.
He bowed and retreated, and when he passed by Yan Song, he noticed a trace of regret on the chief minister's face.
"Now, let's discuss the second item."
Emperor Jiajing spoke again and directly announced that the issue of awarding the crown prince was over.
The ministers discovered that His Majesty only mentioned the land, but did not say where it was located.
Did you forget?
But Xu Jie has just been dealt with. Who dares to remind Emperor Jiajing of his small mistake now?
"Wei Zhong, tell me something for me."
"yes."
Lao Yansong accepted the order and glanced at Xu Jie with pride. The latter couldn't help but lament in his heart. Sure enough, His Majesty and Yan Song's singing and harmony had been rehearsed in advance.
"My dear ministers, the Tang State, one of the three dynasties descended from heaven, has invaded our country, the Ming Dynasty, and occupied Hongzhou."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Hongzhou is a continent in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a prosperous place and has a large population.
Some ministers were surprised and said: "Mr. Yan Ge, could it be that you are mistaken? Hongzhou was lost, but I have never heard of it?"
Someone else questioned: "There are also 100,000 troops stationed in Hongzhou. One hundred thousand against one hundred thousand. Even if the Hongzhou army is weak, it will not be defeated silently, right?"
Except for Yan Song, no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Hongzhou was lost.
Even Xu Jie, the second assistant, heard the bad news for the first time.
"Dear ministers, please listen to what I have to say."
Yan Song waited for everyone to calm down before sighing slowly.
"Hongzhou will surrender without a fight."
"What?!"
"This is impossible!"
"Hongzhou officers and soldiers should all be killed!"
Some were shocked, some were angry, and some were confused.
Yan Song and others had had enough of venting, and finally said: "According to the information I got, it was Li Yu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who personally took action and surrendered the entire Hongzhou army with one person."
At this time, the officials were quiet.
One man can surrender a hundred thousand soldiers?
How many people in the world can do this kind of thing?
Emperor Jiajing maybe?
The ministers looked up, only to see Emperor Jiajing's eyes bloodshot and exhausted.
As soon as the idea came to my mind, I immediately lost my confidence.
"I was negligent and forgot to choose a fiefdom for the prince."
Emperor Jiajing suddenly spoke.
"The prince's fiefdom should be in Hongzhou."
I gritted my teeth and wrote another 2,000 words, updating 6,000 words a day and trying my best to persevere.
