I am the king of the dead

Where did the pigeons in the court go?

Xing'an thought about it seriously and said: "That is the fifteenth mansion of Jiaozhi. It is the land that Daming really threw. We have to withdraw from Jiaozhi and reaffirm Annan."

Zhu Qiyu understood, quit Jiaozhi and re-recognized Annan, it was a deep imprint on Daming, a shame, a past that cannot be talked about, and a scar on the rule of Renxuan.

Officials claim their duties, the government is peaceful, the rules and disciplines are clear, the warehouses are full of envy, the lords are happy, the people are not disasters, the people's morale is gradually relieved, and there is such a shame mixed in the rule of benevolence and prosperity that seems to be peaceful. Let everyone in Daming be unable to understand their thoughts.

It's very simple, Li Yue arrogated to the Li family and proclaimed himself emperor, Li Li, the founding emperor of the Li Dynasty, claimed to be Yue Taizu, what did Ming call it?It can only be called King Annan.

This is not self-deception is what?

Daming now has a strong army and horses, and since the emperor opened the sea, he only seeks a win-win situation and does not seek private enjoyment.

It's ridiculous to talk about such a trick as using love to eliminate hatred.

Even from the most utilitarian point of view, intercourse is beneficial to Kaihai, and even the courtiers who came from academic backgrounds have no reason to object.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I think there is another reason." Xing'an pondered for a while and said: "The courtiers all know that His Majesty fights wars, and he pays attention to the enemy's leniency. Since His Majesty ascended to the throne, he has never heard of defeat, only victory."

"The world situation is often confused, the state affairs are so difficult, and winning the battle can solve all kinds of worries."

Zhu Qiyu also agrees with Xing'an's idea. He nodded and said: "Qin has become stronger since Shang Yang's reform, but still dare not speak out. Xiao Gong resisted all opinions and sent troops to take back the land of Hexi that Qin people longed for, and Qin people knew that Great Qin could win."

"Duke Qin Xiao passed away, King Qin Huiwen succeeded to the throne, Gongsun Yanpei joined forces with the five kingdoms to attack Qin, and even the Yiqu country they despised were united, but they were defeated by the Qin State at Hangu Pass. But back, from then on, Qin State is no longer afraid of the so-called art of unification, and knows that the unification of the world can be expected."

During the period between King Qin Huiwen and King Qin Zhuangxiang, Su Qin and others joined forces many times to conspire to attack Qin, but the effect was minimal. When the army gathered, the Qin army avoided, and when the army dispersed, the Qin army made progress. Repeatedly, the six countries were exhausted.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "King Wu of Qin died with a tripod, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin succeeded to the throne. He defeated Qi Chu and Wei three times, defeated the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping, destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and welcomed the Jiuding.

"Up to the time of the first emperor, the world was unified, the books were in the same language, and the cars were on the same track. Since then, the Qin political system has been practiced for a hundred generations, and the first emperor's heart has been followed for thousands of years."

Zhu Qiyu tapped his fingers on the table quickly, thought for a long time and said: "Li Yue's arrogance is more unpopular, and Ming can rule for a long time."

"Decree Li Binyan to increase Champa rice by [-]% next year in Songjiang Prefecture, stock up more grain."

"Decree to Chen Ruyan and Dingxi Hou Jiang Wan that there is no room for loss at the Zhennan Pass. If you miss the pass, you will come to see me. Guangzhou Shipping Department Jiaozhi will take half of the points for merchant ships, and they will return in three years."

"Bring me the letter written by Xu Chengzong."

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Qiyu added four words to the letter: "Don't make mistakes."

The letter that Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved was taken by three Tiqis, and they took a boat to Guangzhou, and then a boat sent Tiqis to Annan Kingdom. Through Xu Chengzong's relationship in Annanguo, he finally contacted Liu Pu.

Tang Xing came to Liu Pu's house on the side of Hoan Kiem Lake in Thang Long City (now Hanoi) with the letter and two Tiqi.

At this time, the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake is still full of trees.

The founder of the Li Yue Dynasty was named Li Li. According to legend, Li Li got a sword at the beginning of the rebellion, named Shun Tian, ​​and finally established the Li Dynasty after playing games with Ming Dynasty.

Then when Li Li was boating in the green water lake, a golden tortoise poked its head out of the lake and said to Li Li: The enemy has left, give me back the sword.

The Shuntian sword fell into the lake in response, and the lake was changed to Hoan Sword Lake.

Thang Long City (now Hanoi) is the capital city of the Le Viet dynasty. It is surrounded by forty miles and has a population of 50. Incomparable.

Obviously, Shenglong City does not have a complete public health system, not even Fangcheng, and no one even makes a living as a dung road master.

Putting on his mask, Tang Xing said to himself, "It's such a good place. If you just sprinkle some food, you can reap a lot. It's such a waste to plant such a good place for these slackers. .”

"This is Liu Pu's home in Shenglong City? It's a good thing he can live in this kind of place."

Liu Pu was a Marquis in Daming, as long as he did not cause chaos, he would be a hereditary and irreplaceable martial artist. He had a street in the east city of the capital named after Anyuan Hou's Mansion, but his residence in Shenglong City was just a three-way house. courtyard.

Surrounded by stench and filth.

Does Liu Pu know that he has repented?

Tang Xing saw Liu Pu in the main hall. The strong man in the past is now a little stooped, his temples are gray, his eyes are sunken, his face is pale, and he looks a little weak.

"Dare to ask the angel Gao's name?" Liu Pu asked very carefully.

Tang Xing said carelessly: "If you don't want to change your name, don't change your surname when you sit down, so your surname is Li, and your first name is a guest."

"Governor Li?!" Liu Pu turned pale with shock, Li Binyan was His Majesty's confidant, the Governor of Songjiang.

But Liu Pu took a serious look and realized that this Li Binyan was probably just Tiqi with the same name and surname.

Tang Xing said with a smile: "No, no, Liu Pu, this is a letter from Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong to you. It has been approved by His Majesty Zhu. After reading it, I will give you a certain answer."

Although Liu Pu hadn't read the letter yet, he somehow understood the purpose of his visit.

When Liu Pu finished reading the letter, he was already in tears. Holding the letter tremblingly facing north, he knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed respectfully, and sighed: "Your Majesty is merciful, the guilty minister , the criminal..."

Liu Pu was speechless.

only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.

Only he himself knew how difficult these days after he escaped from the Guangzhou mansion, he suddenly received a letter from the emperor, and advised him not to make mistakes. He knew that his only chance in this life had come.

His Majesty's reputation is excellent, if Liu Pu made meritorious service in this battle, he would send his family to Champa, and succeed him as an overseas prince, what kind of benevolence is this?

Liu Pu knelt on the ground, holding the letter, and tremblingly said: "Even if there are no criminals, your Majesty's conquest of Jiaozhi will only waste some effort."

"You have become a sensible person now?" Tang Xing laughed, looked at Liu Pu and said with a sneer: "At that time, I responded to the arrogance and chaos, why didn't I see you understand?"

"Your Majesty's benevolence is not the benevolence towards you. How can He De inherit the grace of heaven, you bereaved dog?"

"Your Majesty's benevolence is for the soldiers of Daming. If it can save the death of hundreds of soldiers from Daming, it would be very good."

Tang Xing knew His Majesty's thoughts, His Majesty's lenient benevolence is the lenient benevolence to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

His Majesty just wanted to save the Ming army from being ambushed several times; let the Ming army find a place to set up camp; reduce the casualties of the Ming army; and increase the chances of the Ming army winning by a few points.

This forgiveness of the bereaved dog Liu Pu is just incidental.

When the Beiwa Army and the Beicao Army entered Beijing, many sergeants who had engagements were divorced. Several elderly father-in-laws made it very clear that if they died, their daughters could still receive pensions. If they were not dead or injured, Disabled, delayed her daughter's life.

Your Majesty has a lenient heart, but it is not for Liu Pu, but for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Drunk lying on the battlefield, Lord Grim, how many people have fought in ancient times?

Why are Ming soldiers loyal?

The ruler treats his ministers like dogs and horses, and the ministers treat the ruler like a countryman;

The king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart.

"That's also benevolence." Liu Pu carefully put away the letter, and said quite seriously: "The guilty minister must do his best to provide Annan to Daming County, and afterward, he should pay the greatness of heaven with his death!"

Ants live stealthily, let alone a noble man?

Tang Xing didn't believe that Liu Pu would thank him with death, it was just talking.

"What is the current situation of Li Yue's arrogance?" Tang Xing talked about the business, and Daming had been spying on Jiao Zhi, but after all, he was watching the leopard.

Liu Pu sighed and said, "It's hard to say."

"The abolished prince Langshan King Li Yimin mutinied and killed King Annan and Empress Dowager Xuanci, but even though his mutiny was successful, there were many dissatisfied people in the court."

"It would be fine if he just killed the king. He also killed the Empress Dowager Xuanci."

Liu Pu will tell them all about it one by one.

King Le Bangji of Annan ascended the throne at the age of one, and was in charge at the age of 12. In fact, the government has always been in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xuanci, Ruan Thiying.

And Ruan Chiying's father, Ruan Chi, was the Duke of Yuan Guo who ruled the dynasty of Li Yue.

Lord Shaoguo doubted, Da Ming experienced it once, and Li Yue's arrogant dynasty also experienced it.

And the Liyue Dynasty had a feud, and that was the Kingdom of Champa in the south.

The king of Champa, Mahe Ben, took advantage of the unstable situation in Annan to attack the Le Dynasty and conquered a large territory.

Ruan Thiying, who listened to the government behind the curtain, first killed Zheng Ke, the powerful minister, and then attacked the kingdom of Champa, and captured the king of Champa, Moha Ben.

"Li Yimin's throne is not stable." Liu Pu said with emotion after explaining the reason.

Tang Xing asked again: "Who in the court opposes Li Yimin sitting on the throne?"

Knowing everything, Liu Pu hurriedly said: "The former king Li Yuanlong had four sons, the eldest was Li Yimin, the second died young, the third was Li Bangji who had just been killed, and the fourth was Li Sicheng, who had a very high reputation in the court. .”

"The Duke of Yuan, Ruan Chi, blatantly supported the fourth son to sit on the throne, and there is a lot of chaos right now."

Tang Xing frowned, he grasped the important information keenly and asked: "Isn't this Duke of Yuan Ruan Chi the father of the Empress Dowager Xuanci? Li Yimin killed his daughters and grandchildren, why did he keep this one?" Duke Yuan?"

Liu Pu sighed and said, "Li Yimin dare not."

"Don't dare, it's not impossible, right." Tang Xing confirmed with a strange face.

Liu Pu nodded and said: "Yes, I dare not. Li Yimin is afraid that if he kills Duke Yuan, the whole country will rebel, but if he doesn't kill Duke Yuan, Duke Yuan will kill him!"

This is Liyue's arrogance. The political struggle here is not like that of Daming, where the knife sees blood.

Tang Xing said with a sneer: "He has changed his palace, if he doesn't kill him completely, isn't that courting death?"

"I've got the nomination certificate, let me borrow the head of the Duke of Yuan!"

Chapter 724 Killing in the street

Han envoys have always been known for their toughness, not to mention the long-renowned Zhang Qian, Ban Chao, and Wang Xuance, all of which have been compiled into scripts, and the world is familiar with them.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a place called Kubin State, which was not part of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and it was 2 miles away from Chang'an.

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the great Han sent an envoy to the state of Kubin.

Wu Toulao, the king of the Kubin Kingdom, felt that the heavenly soldiers of the Han could not come, so he killed the Han envoys and robbed his property. After Wu Toulao died, his son succeeded him, and the Han sent envoys to the Kubin Kingdom.

This time the envoy was a captain from the border, whose surname was Wen and whose name was Zhong.

This son has the same personality as his father. King Jubin thought that the Han envoy was rich, so he wanted to kill the Han envoy and rob the fortune.

Du Wei Wenzhong couldn't get used to him, so he killed the new king of Kubin directly and made another king.

This is the style of work of the Han envoys.

When did the Han envoys become weak?

Two Song Dynasty.

Wang Anshi reformed to strengthen himself, Song Shenzong supported it, and the vigorous Xining Reform began.

At that time, the general Wang Shao, as a supporter of the new law, Ren Tongyuan's army knew the military, and launched an attack on Xixia, expanding the land in Mizhi, Yihe, Futu, Jialu, Wubao, Anjiang and other villages.

The Xihe River was opened to expand the land for thousands of miles in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Xihe Road was built.

After Song Shenzong's death, Song Zhezong ascended to the throne, Empress Dowager Gao came to rule the court, and Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Liu Zhi and others controlled the court.

The first thing they did was to return the Xihe Road built by Xihe River to Xixia.

Sima Guang dealt with Xixia: There are only two strategies, one is to return to its invaded borders, and the other is to ban its private market.

Lu Dafang, Minister of the DPRK and China, put forward different opinions, and asked Sima Guang, "If the land of Taolan is lost, will the troubles of Longshu in the future be avoided?" '

You are weak and ceded the land now, and there will be another army trouble in the Guanlong area in the future, what should you do?

Sima Guang became angry from embarrassment, and Lu Dafang was dismissed immediately, and then demoted again and again.

An Tao, a member of the Privy Council, asked Sima Guang: "Since the east of Lingwu, it has always been the old land of China. The first emperor asked the teacher who committed the crime and recovered it. Just sent it back like this?"

Then An Tao became an idle position, no longer taking things seriously.

In June of the first year of Yuanyou, Xixia sent an envoy to the Northern Song Dynasty to ask for Lanzhou, Mizhi and other places. In the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, in front of all civil and military officials, the Xixia envoy said to Song Zhezong: "Shenzong knows his mistake!"

A barbarian envoy, on the court, told the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty that your father should know his mistake!

The 11-year-old Song Zhezong couldn't bear the humiliation, stood up and changed color, angry, shook his hands and left.

In the end, Sima Guang ceded to Xixia the land of the Four Villages including Mizhi, Futu, Jialu, and Anjiang.

Did Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others make Xixia feel grateful and grateful for the land cession?

The act of ceding the land only brought Xixia's contempt and contempt, saying: Xia people get their land but don't have it, and they are as insulting as before.

Sima Guang abolished the recruitment law in February of the first year of Yuanyou, the military law in June, ceded the four villages in July, and abolished the green crop law in August, and died of illness in September. All Wang Anshi's new laws were abolished before, and Sima Guang was satisfied, and died with peace in his eyes.

As an angel, Tang Xing has always sneered at this kind of ghost trick of eliminating hatred with love, which has been practiced since cultivating literature and virtue.

Barbarians are afraid of authority and not of virtue.

The most urgent task during the Hongwu period was to destroy Yuan Zhaozong's Northern Yuan court, to prove that the destiny came, to make the world awe-inspiring, to ensure that both the north and the south were the land of Ming Dynasty, and to prevent disintegration, so we had to practice the way since Wende.

In the reign of Yongle, Emperor Taizong Wen made five expeditions to Mobei, prefectures and counties in Annan, served as the governor of Luzon, and made six voyages to the West (the seventh time was in the reign of Xuande).

Tang Xing is a rough martial artist, he doesn't care about so many convoluted reasons, although those reasons are really very reasonable.

In his opinion, carrying out His Majesty's will is Wu Fu's first priority!
