Zhu Jianshen sat on the dragon chair and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials.
"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live..."
Zhu Jianshen shouted loudly: "Ping Shen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." As he spoke, the officials began to stand up.
Unlike Zhu Jianshen, who was full of energy on the dragon throne, most of the officials below were still not very energetic. Some officials rushed over to court without even washing their faces in order not to be late.
Especially those young officials still have a rather colorful nightlife. They are busy with official duties during the day and spend the night sweating among the mountains and rivers. They are very tired. Now they are like eggplants beaten by frost when they go to court.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the ministers below, cleared his throat and said, "I believe all of you ministers know that our army has sent troops to Annan."
"Annan Kingdom was the territory of our central power during the Han and Tang Dynasties. During the two Song Dynasties, Annan was weak and rebelled. Emperor Taizongwen regained his homeland. More than twenty years later, Annan continued to rebel, which caused heavy losses to our king's division and also made our Ming Dynasty Losing face. The deterrent effect on the chieftains in the southwestern provinces was reduced, which in turn triggered several chieftain rebellions in the border areas of Yunnan."
"More importantly, after Annan succeeded in establishing himself, Yelang became arrogant and said that the Ming Dynasty was the Wu Kingdom in the Northern Dynasty, and they were the orthodox Li Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, and the religious traditions of the saints would also be taken away by them."
"Shihengpingannan is a battle to avenge shame, and it is also the general trend. Dear ministers, if you have any thoughts on the Ming Dynasty's battle in Annan, I will talk about it first in today's meeting."
His Majesty the Emperor finished speaking while the officials were still confused.
Xu Youzhen was already on the list: "Your Majesty, the Chief and History Department of Jiaozhi was abandoned by Emperor Xuanzong during the Xuande period because Mongolia in the north was a serious concern. It was also a national policy to emphasize the north and despise the south. Emperor Xuanzong had no choice but to abandon Jiaozhi. At this time, The treasury of the Ming Dynasty is full, and the north is peaceful. Your Majesty, as the wise king of ZTE, regains Annan to comfort Emperor Taizong Wen's soul in heaven. It can also make your majesty's prestige and the reputation of the Ming Dynasty shine in Annan, intimidate the chieftains and other states, and ensure the peace of the southwest for a hundred years. .”
After Zhu Jianshen listened to Xu Youzhen's words, he nodded, feeling very satisfied. He looked at Yu Qian and Li Xian.
After Li Xian noticed His Majesty the Emperor's eyes, he paused for a moment, knowing that Yu Taibao would not express any opinion on this matter. If Yu Qian did not support or object, he would go out to support him. This would also ease the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.
Of course, Li Xian and Yu Qian also knew this.
The army has set off, and His Majesty the Emperor asked everyone to discuss it. To put it bluntly, it is just to inform. There is no turning back when the bow is fired. The army has gone out. If anyone disagrees, what's the point?
"Your Majesty, I think it will be easy to defeat the Annan rebels on the battlefield. However, the terrain of Annan is complicated. Rebellions continued in the Yongle, Hongxi, and Xuande dynasties. If it is pacified this time, it will be necessary to entrust a general to guard it." Li Xian said.
After Li Xian finished speaking, Zhu Jianshen nodded and looked at Yu Qian again. Seeing that he kept his head down, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to get Yu Qian to speak up and support him.
Zhu Jianshen stood up and took a look at Yu Qian, and then said loudly: "Back then, after my Ming army retreated, Annan issued the decree to pacify Wu. In his words, he insulted my Ming Dynasty and mocked my Taizu Taizong."ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
"Ping Wu Gui's book is full of nonsense, what is the act of benevolence and righteousness? It is necessary to calm the people and punish the enemy. Don't go to violence first. Listen, people think of themselves as teachers of justice, but we, the Ming Dynasty, are indeed a cruel and unjust country. "
"Humph, what else is there? But our country, Dayue, is actually a country of documents. The feudal territories of mountains and rivers are different, and the customs of the north and south are also different. Since the founding of our country by Zhao, Ding, Li, and Chen, it has been the same as that of Han, Tang, and The Song and Yuan emperors were on the same side. Although their strengths and weaknesses were different, there was no shortage of heroes... Did you hear that they were already on an equal footing with us during the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
When he said this, Zhu Jianshen's voice became louder and louder, and he seemed a little angry, because this Pingwu Dagao was called the second declaration of independence in Annan in later generations. Great, words that belittle the Ming Empire.
"With it, the state of the country was laid in peace, and the mountains and rivers were transformed with it. The heaven and earth were restored to peace after being destroyed, and the sun and moon were dimmed and restored to brightness. It was used to create the foundation for eternal peace, and it was used to abort the endless shame of the ages. It was created by the spirit of the ancestors of heaven and earth. It's so silent and blessing... Listen, what a tone, the mountains, rivers, sun and moon are all in the hands of Annan, what am I, the Ming Dynasty?"
"If I don't avenge this revenge, I will be ashamed to sit on this dragon's throne, and I will be ashamed to be a descendant of Taizu Taizong..."
After listening to His Majesty the Emperor's words, the civil and military officials in the court no longer dared to hold it.
The rhetoric became one-sided.
On the one hand, it is because the front line has already started fighting, and now to talk about some things that are not available is to disturb the morale of the military. On the other hand, the reason is that most officials have never had a good impression of Annan. In addition, what His Majesty said is so Seriously, no matter how ignorant you are, you are really ignorant.
When Zhu Jian deeply embraced North Korea, he encountered some obstacles. This was because North Korea had always placed its position very clearly, but Annan's position was somewhat out of place.
Although they claim to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, they do one thing in front of them and another behind their back. They have no respect for Ming Dynasty.
This can be seen from the few tributes and pilgrimages.
Annan was not a big place, but the envoys and officials who came to the capital were quite arrogant and had no consciousness of being someone's younger brother. This also made the officials of the Ming Dynasty feel a little disgusted with Annan.
Officials all thought that the Annan little monkey had learned the Zhou rites and worshiped the saints for so long before he could be so arrogant. If Emperor Taizongwen had not occupied Annan during the Yongle period and established the Cochin Government and History Department, he had brought them the means of Wangzhi. , they are still lying on the tree.
How could it be like today, showing off one's teeth and showing one's claws, and becoming an emperor behind closed doors? The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and there is only one in the world. Anyone can be the emperor. Do we still want the Ming Dynasty card?
"Your Majesty, I have long disliked the rebels in Annan and have been looking forward to the day when the king's army will be settled in Nanjing."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be transferred to Jiangxi and Yunnan as a military supply officer, so that the Ming Dynasty can once again pacify Annan's front and horse rear."
"Your Majesty, Annan thieves are capricious and have killed many loyal ministers and good generals of our Ming Dynasty. Tens of thousands of elites from hundreds of battles have also spilled their blood on Annan. This time they march into Annan, they should cover thousands of miles without leaving any further trouble. Just like in the sixth year of Chenghua In response to the Liaodong Jurchen strategy, we plowed the court and cleared the holes, and promoted the power of our Ming army so that they would never dare to rebel again."
"Your Majesty, please allow me to go to Annan to kill the enemy..."
This was the first time Zhu Jianshen heard such radical words among the civil servants. He felt quite proud. People's hearts could be used. It seemed that his words had affected the entire court situation.
Of course, this was Zhu Jianshen's own sentimentality. The reason why these officials were so excited was because he mentioned Annan's Pingwu Dagao.
Scholars also strive for reputation. You talk about the words of saints every day and regard yourself as a minister of the Heavenly Kingdom. But one day, someone tells you that you are just a divided dynasty. You are the Northern Dynasty, not the unified Heavenly Kingdom. The country, and the teachings of your saints, we have passed down better than you. The Mongols conquered you and Yan Shenggong Mansion, but we have never been convinced, and our inheritance has never been interrupted.
Who can bear this.
If he hadn't been in a high position, he would have suggested doing his job long ago...
