Shi Biao clearly knew his position. When he came to Annan, the first thing he did was to stabilize the morale of the army.

The current situation is already one-sided.

The Ming army has the initiative in its hands.

Whether it was fighting or talking, they had the upper hand.

As long as the general leading the team does not have a headache at this time, the situation will not change much.

Annan has fallen firmly into Ming's hands.

Occupying northern Annan and the central region, which is the richest and most densely populated, can already be said to have achieved a comprehensive victory. This speed has exceeded Zhu Jianshen's expectations.

Of course, eating is just the beginning, digestion is the highlight.

Shi Biao had rich experience when he occupied North Korea. Although the environments between Annan and North Korea were different, the essential difference was not big.

This is also the reason why Zhu Jianshen asked Shi Biao to come to Annan...

After discussing with Han Yong and others in Jiaozhou City, Shi Biao, accompanied by Han Yong and Mu Zan, met with the envoys of the Qinghua puppet court.

This envoy was jointly appointed by two powerful figures in the small court of Qinghua, Ruan Dayou, the chief minister, and Li Binghao, the bachelor. He is a Han and enjoys a high degree of autonomy...

The envoy stated the terms of their surrender.

First, to preserve the power and treatment of their rulers, they can move inland to the Ming Dynasty.

Second, collect the remains of the three late emperors that are still hanging on the trees and allow them to be reburied and enjoy memorial services.

Third, the Ming Dynasty needs to promise that after occupying Thanh Hoa, it will not act according to the attitude it acted in Jiaozhou. It needs to protect the many interests of the Thanh Hoa family and recognize their status.

After listening to what the envoy said, Shi Biao looked at Han Yong who was sitting aside and said with a smile: "Han Shangshu, is this what you think is an acceptable surrender? Do you dare to agree to this condition?"

After Han Yong listened, he turned to look at the envoy and said coldly: "Why is this different from the credentials you gave me? When was this third article added?"

After hearing what Han Yong said, the envoy hurriedly said: "Sir, this is the letter of credence that was just sent from Thanh Hoa yesterday. Please take a look at it. There are slight changes."

With that said, the envoy took out a new credential from his arms and handed it to Han Yong.

After Han Yong read it, he handed his credentials to Shi Biao.

"General, I don't care whether you want to pretend to be stupid or you are really stupid. Just one sentence, listen carefully. If you want to surrender and give your little king a way out, show your sincerity and test each other. You don't have a chance in negotiations because you don't have the strength to test each other and argue with Ming on the negotiation table. "

After hearing this, the envoy hurriedly said: "Yes, the official knows that we have no strength. No, the three adults are sitting, and I have always been standing."

After hearing this, Shi Biao was a little speechless. Is this a cold joke?

"Show sincerity and come see me again. Someone will send the envoy to rest."

Two soldiers entered the lobby and made an invitation to the envoy.

The envoy bowed his hands to the three people sitting on it, then turned and left.

Wait until the envoy leaves the hall.

Shi Biao then said: "You two, you can still preserve the power of the king and collect the remains of their three ancestors, but it is impossible to preserve the interests and status of the Qinghua family."

Han Yong said: "I think this is also a bargaining chip for them."

"No, this should be the news that the Puppet Dynasty encountered pressure from local aristocratic families, so they added the third item as a last resort." Shi Biao said, narrowing his eyes.

Changing the flag but leaving the family unchanged is equivalent to not changing the flag.

Thanh Hoa and Jiaozhou are the two most important cities in Annan. One is Tokyo and the other is Xijing. They have been throughout the history of Annan.

These two places also represent two extremely huge forces.

They looked down on each other. Even though such a major event happened in Jiaozhou, and noble families died one after another, the squire families in Qinghua did not feel any compassion at all.

The North-South issue in Vietnam will continue to exist even into the next era. Even if the people in power are from the same party, they still measure their political allies based on North and South...

What His Majesty the Emperor certainly wants is not an autonomous Annan.

……………………

It’s the Spring Festival again, and it’s another banquet at the Huagai Hall.

However, His Majesty the Emperor did not attend this time.

Hosted by Li Xian.

Although red envelopes were given to the officials as usual during the banquet, the hearts of the civil and military officials were still depressed and there was no joy in receiving the red envelopes.

Why didn't your Majesty come?

Are you sick?

Whether the disease is serious or not, will I die?

After death, who will be the emperor?

Our Ming Dynasty does not have a crown prince yet.

This is the first time that Zhu Jianshen has been absent from such an important political event, which has aroused endless reverie among many officials, which is also human nature.

The reason why Zhu Jianshen did not participate in the banquet was almost exactly what the officials thought. He was really sick.

Just a little bit of wind chill though.

After contracting the cold, Zhu Jianshen only felt a little lack of energy, dizziness and chest tightness, but there was no other discomfort.

Zhang Bao and others were panicked, but Zhu Jianshen didn't have much fear.

Can a small cold kill an 18-year-old boy?

I want to drink boiled water...

My father is still alive and kicking, so there is no reason for me to die before him.

In fact, just six days ago, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen also suffered from a serious cold illness, which almost killed him.

The doctors at the Imperial Hospital were at a loss as they tried many medicines but failed to get better. Zhu Jianshen also visited Zhu Qizhen many times, just waiting for his filial son to throw a basin and send the emperor to be buried.

Xu Youzhen, the Ministry of Rites, has been notified and secretly started preparations.

But Zhu Qizhen miraculously recovered.

I don’t know how it got better, but my head no longer hurts, my eyesight doesn’t blur, and I have more energy than before to do that.

After Zhu Qizhen recovered, Zhu Jianshen felt dizzy and weak.

As luck would have it, the symptoms were most severe on the day of the banquet.

When is it not good to be sick? Doesn't it make officials think wildly if it has to be the time of giving a banquet?

Originally, Zhu Jianshen wanted to cheer up and go to the Huagai Hall, but after looking at his tiredness in the mirror, he gave up the idea.

If he went to see the officials with such a bad face, I'm afraid those officials would think that he wouldn't live long.

No matter how they thought, they could never imagine that the eighteen-year-old young monarch was about to die...

On the second day of the fifteenth year of Chenghua, when he woke up, Zhu Jianshen felt that he was almost well.

This wind chill lasted for three days.

It was originally a day for the seal to have a holiday, but the imperial case was filled with memorials from civil and military officials.

And these memorials all have a common purpose.

I request His Majesty the Emperor to appoint a crown prince to rectify the country's foundation.

These mountains of memorials made Zhu Jian feel deeply stressed.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Jianshen went through all these memorials without doing anything in the morning.

Nearly 70% of the people asked His Majesty the Emperor to appoint his legitimate son Zhu Youhua by name, while 30% of the people only said that the prince should be appointed, without specifying which prince it was.

However, Li Xian, Xu Youzhen, Chen Ying and other powerful figures did not mention this matter in the memorial.

At this time, Zhu Jianshen's health has recovered. Of course, he would not make him the prince so early. Moreover, Zhu Youhua is too young. Now he cannot see the nature and qualifications of this boy. If he had made Zhu Youhua the prince early, this boy would be blind. What should I do if I don't do it right?

It is no joke to establish a prince, because once he is established and given the title, he will be half the master of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can escape the position of prince.

Zhu Jianshen's first favorite person must be Zhu Youhua, because he occupies the title, but even if he has the title, he has to be trained and inspected many times. Only when he feels that he is qualified will he make him the prince.

My father was just in his early twenties. In order to go out to fight and promote the country's prestige, he established himself as the prince. This led to his unruly and legendary life. He was destined to become a lesson for future generations of monarchs, telling fathers to be careful. Fire prevention and theft prevention to prevent the sixth son from stealing the house...

After reading the memorial, Zhu Jianshen took the queen and his three sons to Nangong to pay New Year's greetings to the Supreme Emperor.

When Zhu Qizhen was ill, Zhu Jianshen often appeared by his side. Looking at his eldest son with a melancholy face and poor mental state, Zhu Qizhen was deeply moved.

In order not to let his son suffer the pain of losing his father during the Chinese New Year, Zhu Qizhen bravely fought against the cold, finally defeated the disease, survived again, and became more energetic as he lived.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen didn't know that Zhu Jianshen was probably in poor spirits because he was infected with the cold at that time.

In fact, he was always prepared to lose his father. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz

After Zhu Jianshen arrived at Nangong, he first asked the three princes to kowtow to their Grandfather. Among the three princes, only the eldest, Zhu Youhuang, could express his thoughts clearly.

The second and third children, on the other hand, have just learned to walk and can talk, but not much.

Although Zhu Qizhen's fourteenth son is one year younger than Zhu Jianshen's third son, Zhu Youzi, it does not affect the old Zhu family's fine tradition of intergenerational relations at all.

Zhu Qizhen was only responsible for giving birth to children, but was not responsible for raising them. Especially after arriving in Nangong, he had never held a son of his.

But after looking at Zhu Jianshen's three sons, he could not suppress his joy, and his face was full of kindness that Zhu Jianshen and other brothers had never seen before.

He picked up his eldest grandson one by one, and kept muttering in his mouth: "My grandson is such a great grandson... Come, let me take a good look."

Zhu Jianshen was a little confused watching this scene happen.

When did dad love children so much, let alone my son.

Zhu Qizhen is thirty-six years old this year. According to history, he should die next year...

But now history has changed. Zhu Qizhen's good brother Zhu Qiyu also has children and grandchildren, is in good health, and is not as weak as in history, and died before the age of thirty.

The prince Zhu Jianji, who competed with Zhu Jianshen in history and died young, now also has a child...

Judging from the extent of historical changes, it is really hard to say whether Zhu Qizhen will die next year...
