Chapter 507 Killing the Ming Envoy
For general memorials, the cabinet gives advice on how to deal with them, and the supervisor of ceremonies approves it. It must be more important for the eunuch to personally present the memorial to the imperial court with the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies. Both the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies The kind that can't call the shots.
Emperor Chongzhen was a little curious, looked at Cao Huachun, and only listened to him play: "Your Majesty, after Tang Shisun was escorted to Beijing, he has been detained and not dealt with. Now another censor has handed in a memorial. Your Majesty, please make a decision on how to deal with it!"
This can be said to be an internal matter of the royal family, and it is really difficult for foreign ministers to make decisions.And Zhu Yujian's matter can be big or small, it all depends on Emperor Chongzhen's will.
Regarding this Zhu Yujian, Emperor Chongzhen had sent him a book before, asking him to learn some methods of dealing with the national economy and the people's livelihood, and he probably had an idea of its usefulness.He was just worrying about Liaodong and North Korea, so he didn't deal with it; after listening to it, he started to read it.
In this new imperial censor's memorial to impeach Zhu Yujian, there is a disposition opinion written by Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet.The general idea is that Tang Shisun knew that the imperial court had regulations, but he still led the army in violation of the regulations, trying to take over the military power and leave the fief.For such a serious crime, the position of the grandson should be abolished, the land given to him should be taken away, and Fengyang should be allocated to guard the imperial tomb.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he immediately saw the point.He remembered that he had talked with Wen Tiren about the tax-free land.In particular, the grant of land by the vassal kings affected the payment of land taxes because of too much.When Wen Tiren wrote this, it was obvious that he had the idea of taking back a little of the gifted land if he could take it back.This has not changed much from the way he proposed to himself before.
Of course, as a courtier, he gave such a disposition suggestion, which naturally cannot be the final conclusion.This kind of matter involving the vassal king, the supervisor of ceremonies dare not deal with it alone, and will definitely come to the emperor.If the emperor can reduce his crime, it is kindness.If the emperor doesn't want to reduce the crime, then Wen Tiren will take the blame.To do so is to practice what he said in front of Emperor Chongzhen before that he will do his best and die!
After Emperor Chongzhen read it, he didn't make a conclusion right away.For him, a fake emperor who traveled from a later age, he basically didn't feel anything about the royal family; as for the royal face, compared with Zhongxing Daming, it goes without saying which is more important.If he could justifiably take back the tax-free land granted to many vassals in the past, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely do it without hesitation.
Therefore, Wen Tiren's suggestion was still tempting to Emperor Chongzhen.However, he had some thoughts before, so he weighed them in his heart again, and suddenly raised his head to look at Cao Huachun who was standing there respectfully, and said, "Big companion, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, matters concerning the royal family can only be adjudicated by the holy will." Cao Huachun replied with his head down.
Emperor Chongzhen knew about this kind of thing, and it was useless to ask others, and he just asked casually just now.The situation on the prairie is still unknown, and it would be unrealistic to make Zhu Yujian the king of the prairie now.
Thinking left and right, I couldn't make up my mind for a while.Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group, first to see if there was any information.
Gao Yingyuan had a private chat, saying that he had been ordered to join Lu Xiangsheng's Dongjiang Cavalry Army and was leaving for the capital.In addition, there was a private chat with Liu Jinsheng, reporting the spat that Annan was fighting.
There is no private chat anymore. Just when Emperor Chongzhen was about to quit, he saw someone swiping the screen in the public chat area: "Is the group leader there? There is important news, help to contact the court, the news is absolutely true!"
After swiping three in a row, there was a systematic ban prompt.
Emperor Chongzhen saw the person who swiped the screen, his name was Ba Dengding, and he felt a little strange.But after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that this Badending was from Mubang, and he once wanted Daming to support justice in the group.
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little strange that he had to swipe the screen to attract attention when he had something important to do.Remembering that Hai Lanzhu had to contact her by swiping the screen before, it seems that this point should be paid attention to.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen first chatted with Liu Xingzuo, Wen Tiren, and Wei Mulan privately, and asked them to pay attention. If someone swipes the screen, remember to remind yourself, lest you miss important things if you don’t see them.
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen chatted privately with Ba Dengding and asked, "What do you want from me?"
After waiting for a while, I saw Ba Dengding reply in a private chat: "Group leader, the envoy sent by Daming to Dongwu was killed by the leader of Dongwu, and he also threatened that with Daming's strength, he is also worthy of being the suzerain of Dongwu. , don’t even think about it!”
"What?" Emperor Chongzhen immediately became angry when he heard it, and reconfirmed, "Kill my envoy of Ming Dynasty, and still speak lies?"
As a matter of fact, Dongwu had previously seized Mubang, which nominally belonged to Daming, and even invaded Yunnan again and again, and expressed it with practical actions. Dongwu didn't take Daming seriously at all, let alone recognize the suzerain state.
"This matter is absolutely true. Anyone here knows about it." Ba Dengding replied again without hesitation.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen replied, "Understood", and then seriously considered this issue.
Before that, envoys were sent to the Southeast Asian countries to ask them to pay tribute to food.Now only Annan has received a response.And it was only because they asked Daming that they gave food.As for the other Nanyang countries, they have not responded yet.Some are indeed because the distance is a bit far away, but some are probably just dawdling, depending on the direction of the wind, right?
This Dongwu actually killed the Ming envoy openly, and even threatened and clamored, which was definitely a blow to Ming's prestige in the Nanyang countries.This kind of thing is absolutely unbearable!
When they annexed Mubang before, they should have fought back immediately.Looking at it now, the king of Dongwu wants to be king and hegemony, and wants to use Daming as a stepping stone to achieve its hegemony in Nanyang, right?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately chatted with Liu Jinsheng in private, and ordered him: "Decree to Xu Guangqi, let him investigate the details of Dongwu's country as soon as possible, confirm Dongwu's attitude towards my Ming Dynasty, and whether he has killed my Daming envoy."
After receiving the reply, Emperor Chongzhen immediately chatted with Ba Dengding in private and asked: "Do you know the mountains, rivers, terrain and various forces in Dongwu?"
"I'm from Mubang, of course I understand, but I don't know much about the south side of Dongwu." Ba Dengding was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly replied, "I don't know what the group leader is asking this for?"
"You don't have to worry about what you want to do!" Emperor Chongzhen ordered him, "You write down what you know as much as possible, and then go to Kunming, Yunnan, and wait for the arrival of the imperial envoy."
