"Your Highness, King Zhou, would you like to meet your two relatives?" Xu Youzhen asked.
After Zhu Zizhen heard this, his expression became dull.
Why did you bring this person?
They must have thought that they knew about their abolition in advance, and if they saw them at this time, they would inevitably be scolded. They were not good at words, so they could not bear injustice for no reason.
And most importantly, their relationship is very cold.
Although they are uncles and cousins from the same clan, they rarely meet in private.
Even though they are related by blood, they are still strangers.
At that moment, Zhu Zichen waved his hand and said: "I'd better disappear. They made mistakes and deserve to be punished. Seeing each other now will only increase the sadness and will not change anything."
After Xu Youzhen heard this, she did not embarrass Zhu Zizhen, but just took out an envelope from her arms.
"Your Highness, you can write a memorial for Your Majesty based on the content here..."
These were words that Xu Youzhen had considered for a long time. The King of Zhou had a good nature, so Xu Youzhen thought more about him and was more attentive.
If he completes the new tax system for the King of Zhou, he can return to the capital.
Moreover, there is only one Prince Jin left, the legitimate son of Taizu. The general trend of the entire clan has been formed, and everything is a matter of course.
Even if there will be some resistance and some fluctuations later, it will all be a small fight.
For Xu Youzhen, the trip to Zongfan meant that he gained fame to the outside world and gained enough credit in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
………………
Annan regained its independence during the Ming Dynasty, and did not substantively merge into the Ming Dynasty for a long time. This also led to a great change in Annan's situation hundreds of years later, and it completely became an independent country, giving birth to Belongs to his nation.
But this time, less than thirty years after independence, it was regained by the Ming Dynasty.
During this period, there was no international surveillance agency. Whoever had a strong fist had the right to speak.
Shi Heng's series of actions in the north of Annan are, in a sense, accelerating the time for the people of Annan to return home.
Want to truly conquer an area.
Or, use Huairou methods from the beginning to give them benefits and make them burst into tears. Of course, this Huairou way of governance has many loopholes. Once the Ming Dynasty is weak and cannot give them benefits, problems will arise in its rule. .
Or, use force directly from the beginning, massacre without any bottom line, use blood that can never be washed away, and separate by death, so that their descendants will always remember the price they incurred after resisting.
Of course Shi Heng would not use the first gentle method.
He is a pure person.
The original main hall of Thang Long Imperial City and the Ideological and Political Hall have now been turned into a room where Shi Heng rests at night.
Shi Heng destroyed the dragon chair that Li Yimin was sitting on, regardless of whether it was worth a fortune or not, and replaced it with a bed where the dragon chair was originally placed. It was such a big bed...
The Ideological and Political Hall was originally a huge palace. Every time I struggled, painful sounds echoed from all directions...
This feeling also made Shi Heng lose himself a little.
But tonight, Shi Heng seemed a little irritable. The woman beneath him had her eyes open and her mouth slightly open, but she couldn't make a sound.
The functions of life are gradually lost.
She couldn't scream anymore.
This woman was Li Li's granddaughter and the princess. She was as beautiful as a flower. She was at the age of innocence and innocence, but she faced the most tragic moment in her life. In this painful moment, she almost died. end of life.
After Shi Heng was done with the matter, he asked the original palace servants to carry the woman out...
In the realm of the Ming Dynasty, using eunuchs to serve him was also a major crime against the Nine Clan. However, after Shi Heng arrived in Jiaozhou City, he ignored this major crime against the Nine Clan and enjoyed the treatment that an emperor should enjoy. He still had excuses, some Eunuchs are the most precious creatures in the world. By letting them serve, this general can be regarded as looking out for them, taking pity on them, and giving them a way to survive.
When this word reached the capital, it offended a huge organization, including the Secretary of Ceremonies, the Royal Horse Supervisor, the Dongchang and other powerful departments.
Because the eunuchs themselves are incomplete people, they are very concerned about this. Even if the mature Zhang Bao hears these words from Shi Heng, he will not remain calm.
Shi Heng lay on his back, panting heavily and looking extremely ugly.
That's because he just learned that there was another Duke in the Ming Dynasty.
Ning Guogong Chen Ying.
This made Shi Heng very angry. He was going through life and death outside. Why did Chen Ying, who had been staying in the capital and enjoyed high official status and salary, become the Duke of the country before him.
Is he worthy?
I think back then, when Duke Cheng Guo was alive, I didn't take Duke Cheng Guo seriously. Why did Chen Ying lie on his head and become the Duke of Ming Dynasty before him.
In fact, Shi Heng had a good relationship with Chen Ying before. After the defeat of Yanghe, Chen Ying also begged for Shi Heng's favor.
But they haven't had a close relationship for many years, and the two of them have always had a superior-subordinate relationship, so the close teenage friendship has all disappeared.
Of course, even Shi Heng, who was now furious, did not dare to feel dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor. He only put all the blame on Chen Ying.
He must have deceived His Majesty the Emperor, and relied on the fact that there was no more senior general in the capital than him, so he used publicity to threaten private affairs, so that His Majesty the Emperor made him the Duke of the country.
He has conquered the north and south, and has made great achievements in battle. He should have become the Duke of the country long ago.
He couldn't understand.
I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Why does His Majesty the Emperor keep dragging me...
Just as Shi Heng was angry and furious, a Ming army of thousands of people crossed Beijiang.
They were escorting a big shot from the Ming Dynasty.
Han Yong, Minister of the Ministry of War.
After crossing the river, Han Yong got into the carriage prepared in advance and drove on under the starlight.
Han Yong knew more about Shi Heng's psychological changes than His Majesty the Emperor in Beijing.
Zhu Jianshen only learned a little, and more information was still on the way and had not entered the capital.
In Qinghua City, Xijing, the so-called crown prince Li Ji has succeeded to the throne of the Dai Viet Kingdom, and has sent envoys to negotiate, hoping to surrender and exchange half of the Dai Viet Kingdom for the marquis of the Ming Dynasty who has moved inward.
This was a good thing for the Ming army.
However, Shi Heng did not convene the generals for discussion or inform the court, and directly killed the envoys. Afterwards, when the generals asked Shi Heng why he did this, Shi Heng said: "The great achievements are right in front of you, how can you do it?" Let them surrender."
There were also a lot of tricks. Many of the soldiers who surrendered in Annan were trapped and killed. The news spread, causing 20,000 surrendering troops to launch a mutiny, which caused great fluctuations in the north and cost the Ming army a certain amount of money. price.
After Han Yong learned about these two major events, he felt that Shi Heng was no longer suitable to serve as the chief military officer.
Then Han Yong united with thirty-six generals, including powerful factions including Mu Zan, to jointly submit a letter requesting the imperial court to transfer Shi Heng out of Jiaozhou City and remove Shi Heng from his post as General Zhengnan.
Even though there were spies around Shi Heng, thousands of miles away, Zhu Jianshen couldn't grasp Annan's exact situation at the first time, and couldn't make an early judgment.
And Han Yong watched Shi Heng slowly become crazy. It didn't matter if he wanted to die, but he still had the command of hundreds of thousands of troops. Han Yong couldn't sit back and ignore this kind of madness before destruction.
Therefore, Han Yong came from the rear and used the edict given to him when he left the capital to summon the participating generals and deputy generals who had gone to Annan to fight, a total of sixty-three people, to meet in Jiaozhou City.
Many of these sixty-three people were Shi Heng's cronies and had been following him since the war against the Jurchens. They also saw Shi Heng's madness, and they were also the group of people who tried their best to advise Shi Heng.
For the sake of stability, Han Yong originally wanted to wait for the official order from the court before taking action.
But now Shi Heng has received the stimulus from Taining Marquis Chen Ying to promote Ning Guogong. He wants to launch a general attack on the south this year and overthrow all previous plans.
How could military orders be changed day by day? This was a big taboo. Han Yong could not hide his clumsiness anymore. This time he secretly crossed the river and asked for the imperial edict given to him by His Majesty the Emperor when he left Beijing.
It turns out that Han Yong served as the supervisor of the rear area with the position of Minister of War, and was already on the same level as Shi Heng. In addition, Zhu Jianshen was afraid that Shi Heng was arrogant and uncontrollable, so he also gave Han Yong the power to act expediently and asked him to keep an eye on Shi Heng. , although he did not say it clearly, Han Yong knew his responsibility.
Originally, when Shi Heng stayed in the palace at night and sang and sang every night, Han Yong also turned a blind eye and closed one eye. He was not a pedantic person. He didn't care about it. He worked hard in the battle ahead and enjoyed it too much. However, point.
But if he forcibly changes the military orders in effect out of his own anger and drags down the three armies, this is something Han Yong cannot bear.
Of course, at this time, Han Yong's decisiveness had already appeared.
If it were another civil servant, for the sake of safety at this time, he would just watch and not intervene at all, risking mutiny to stop Shi Heng's military adventure. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
But Han Yong is going to do it.
More than half of the generals were Shi Heng's cronies. When Han Yong entered Jiaozhou City this time, he was on a 50-50 basis with Shi Heng.
But in order that the sacrifice of the soldiers would not be in vain, and for the Ming Dynasty's strategy in the southwest, he decided to risk his life, enter Jiaozhou City, and force an almost crazy man to hand over his military power.
And Han Yong also thought about it a lot.
During the private memorial, Han Yong suggested that His Majesty the Emperor should dispatch Shi Biao.
Because Shi Heng had trusted generals who controlled most of the army. If Mu Zan or himself were to take command personally, these people would feel that General Shi Heng was treated poorly and did not work hard, which would be a big taboo.
But as Shi Heng's nephew, Shi Biao also had a close relationship with these generals. The relatively calm Shi Biao, in some respects, had higher prestige among these generals than Shi Heng.
Because these trusted generals all understood that if they followed Shi Heng, they would not be able to succeed, but if they followed Shi Biao, everything would go smoothly and they would get promoted and make a fortune.
Of course, doing so also has great disadvantages.
It would take more than a year for Shi Biao to arrive in Annan successfully, and then go back to Annan to inspect and understand the war situation. The war would continue to drag on.
Zhu Jianshen, who was far away in the capital, still didn't know that things were already moving in the direction he originally planned...
