Chapter 408: Lu Gui's Second Envoy
Song Taizu was added to the yellow robe as a military general, and after he got the throne, he released the military power with a glass of wine, and Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty won the throne with a strong domain, and since then he has begun to restrict the clan.
Since becoming an ancestor, the Ming clan basically no longer has power, and even when you go out of the city, you have to make a report to the magistrate first, but now there are two big domains within the Southern Ming Dynasty that are enough to threaten the emperor.
At this time, the Longwu court learned the lesson of the "Tang-Lu dispute" and began to seek coexistence with the two powerful domains, so after moving to Guangzhou, it sent envoys to contact the two feudal domains to discuss major matters.
Now that the New Year is approaching, the Lu Fan and the Gui Fan also know that the Longwu court is powerful, and the three really need to reach some consensus to avoid repeating the mistakes of eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, so through the New Year's relationship, one is to meet Longwu to ease relations, and the other is to determine their respective interests.
When the envoy arrived, Emperor Longwu, as the Son of Heaven, naturally could not negotiate with the envoys of the two clans, Wang Yan understood this, so he immediately ordered Li Guo to guard against Li Chengdong, and hurried back to Guangzhou.
When he arrived in Guangzhou City, Wang Yan went to the palace first, and the attendants took him outside the palace, and Emperor Longwu paced back and forth in the palace, and the candles in the hall pulled his growing figure to the old age.
At this time, he listened to the report of the chamberlain, returned to the throne and sat down, and then instructed the chamberlain to summon Wang Yan into the palace.
"Your Majesty~"
That is, if he wants to negotiate with the two feudal domains of Lu and Gui, then Wang Yan must know the emperor's bottom line, so he entered the palace overnight to meet him.
"Aiqing is flat." Emperor Longwu raised his hand, and then said: "It has been a few days since the envoy of the second king of Lu Gui arrived in Guangzhou, and I have not seen him until the Qing family returns. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Yan stood up and saluted: "The minister heard that the person sent by the king of Lu was Zhang Huangyan, the imperial history of the right capital, and the person sent by the king of Gui was the scholar Qu Shiyun, these two people are important ministers who can speak in the two feudal domains of Lu and Gui, and the minister also has the intention of negotiating when he sees the two feudal domains, and the minister thinks that this is an excellent opportunity to put aside the internal contradictions of our dynasty and unanimously resist the Qing Dynasty, but the minister does not know, this consultation, where is the bottom line of the imperial court, and please make it clear to Your Majesty. ”
Emperor Longwu had been thinking a lot in the past few days, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Although the two kings do not have the name of the feudal town, in fact, whether it is the appointment of officials or the collection of taxes, they are not reported to the imperial court, and they are all independent by the two feudal domains, and they have become a country within a country. In this case, since the imperial court cannot be changed in the short term, Aiqing only needs to hold on to three points, first, to recognize me as the son of the great tomorrow, and the second king must not be called the emperor, second, the two sides cannot attack each other, and third, they cannot win over their respective ministers and officials. ”
Longwu's opinions, in fact, are mostly Wang Yan's previous admonitions, which is also the reason why Longwu wants to wait for Wang Yan instead of directly letting Zuo Maodi negotiate.
The first of these three points is to ensure that there is a nominal consensus within the Southern Ming Dynasty, to respect Longwu as the co-master, to recognize the legitimacy of his throne, to make up for the lack of his bloodline, so that the Ming will not be divided. The second point is to avoid conflict, so that the three parties can go to the outside world. The third point is to learn from the "Tanglu dispute", digging each other's corners and indiscriminately appointing officials, causing chaos in the official system, and making the courtiers unstable.
Wang Yan nodded, "The minister understands~"
"This negotiation will be decided by Aiqing and Zuo Ge Lao, Su Qing's attitude towards Lu Gui's second domain is too tough, I have sent him to Macau to discuss with the Francois about fighting the Dutch, Aiqing wants to implement this matter as soon as possible." After Long Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Aiqing has worked very hard all the way, I still have twists and turns to see, so I won't say more, Aiqing retreat~"
Wang Yan and Su Guansheng governed Guangdong, traded by sea, and basically cooperated with the Portuguese, but the Dutch always wanted to monopolize trade with China, but after Wang Yan reconciled with Zheng, they did not have the courage to challenge the Ming Dynasty.
After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the situation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea underwent a major change, the original Far East maritime overlord Zheng, collapsed, Zheng power split, although Zheng Chenggong inherited part of the Zheng family's foundation, but his focus at this time on the fight against the Qing court, the Dutch felt that their opportunity had come, ships frequently sailed into the South China Sea, plundered several Ming merchant ships, and wanted to force the Ming to trade with it.
This kind of thing, Da Ming naturally couldn't tolerate it, and Longwu just took the opportunity to split Su Guansheng, so as not to affect the negotiation with the Guilu Second Domain.
At this time, Wang Yan saw that the emperor had already picked up the fold and squinted under the candlelight, so he immediately saluted, "Your Majesty should also pay attention to the dragon body~" After speaking, he respectfully withdrew from the hall.
Zhang Huangyan, like Wang Yan, is a person in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and there are many similarities between the two.
When the Qing army invaded the south of the Yangtze River, the twenty-five-year-old Zhang Huangyan stepped forward, threw his pen from Rong, and became an important minister under the command of King Lu.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yan first met with Zuo Maodi, and then asked people to invite Zhang Huangyan and Qu Shiyun, in order to prevent the two feudatories from colluding, so the two were arranged in the east and west post houses.
The six departments of the imperial court had just been rebuilt, and they were all crowded into the original governor's yamen, and Wang Yan and Zuo Maodi did not go in, but stood outside to talk.
Not long after, Zhang Huangyan, who lived in the east post house, arrived first, he got out of the carriage, and saw two scarlet robes from a distance, but he didn't know him, but at this time another person came down from the car, and when he saw the two, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Late life, meet the Duke of Chu Guo, Zuo Ge Lao." ”
When Wang Yan saw someone coming, he was immediately overjoyed and exclaimed, "How could Xiao Yin be here?" ”
The official Xia Wanchun, the former Jiangzuo boy, although he is still not as weak as the crown, but he is not childish at all, and has grown into a man.
When Xia Wanchun heard this, he said: "Originally, I was going to come to Guangnan to participate in the imperial examination, but when I set off, the Jiangnan Righteous Army was fighting with the Qing soldiers, so I was delayed for some time. ”
After speaking, he introduced Wang Yan and Zuo Maodi, "This envoy of the Lu Prison State, the right is written by Zhang Xuan, the imperial history, and Lord Zhang is also." ”
Zhang Huangyan stepped forward, knowing the identities of Wang Yan and Zuo Maodi, and bowed without humility or arrogance, "The lower officials meet the two cabinet ministers." ”
Zuo Maodi smiled, waved his hand and said, "Zhang Yushi doesn't have to pay much attention. ”
Wang Yan nodded, and then said to Xia Wanchun: "Xiao Yin can go to my house first?" ”
Xia Wanchun knew that Wang Yan and they had something important to discuss, so he immediately saluted and said, "Obey the arrangement of the national prince." ”
Wang Yan immediately exchanged for a personal soldier, took Xia Wanchun to his house, and explained that people would be entertained.
After sending Xia Wanchun away, Qu Shiyun also came over in a carriage, and after the two sides saluted, Zuo Maodi smiled and said, "Let's go in together!" \u000b The four people entered the yamen, the two Lang of the Ministry of Rites cleaned up a room, the four of them sat down as guests, and some officials served them tea, and when the officials of the Ministry of Rites left, Wang Yan went straight to the point and said: "Gong Qu, Zhang Yushi, everyone is gathered here today, just to discuss, I have internal problems in the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what the two think?" ”
