508 Second choice (3rd shift)
Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, and said in a unhappy tone: "First, on the matter, considering that you don't really want to take the opportunity to seize the military power to rebel, you can be exempted from capital crimes, and the quasi-cabinet proposes to choose another person to take over as King Tang." Considering that such a thing would not happen again in the future, the candidate of Tang Wang was elected as a person of old age and stability. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yujian's face turned white instantly, and the sneering faces of his two uncles flashed in the back of his head, as if they were laughing at him, and they seemed to be triumphant, and they couldn't help but show unwillingness and anger on their faces.
In the original history, Zhu Yujian was imprisoned in Fengyang, but it was his younger brother who eventually succeeded the Tang king, and the two uncles who bullied him were killed by him before committing the crime. It's just that this plane, because of the butterfly effect, is already different.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished saying the first choice, he saw Zhu Yujian's face change, and he felt a little sure in his heart. Regarding the internal contradictions of the Tang Wang family, he has asked Jinyiwei to investigate clearly. Because of this, he deliberately picked an excuse to say that he wanted to be an old and stable person.
After waiting for a while, Emperor Chongzhen's face became a little more serious, his demeanor became a little more serious, and he said slowly: "The second choice, I will give you a bright road, provide you with an unprecedented opportunity, and the opportunity to leave a name in the history books in the future......"
As soon as he said this, he saw Zhu Yujian suddenly kneeling down, with a hint of urgency, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the sinner chooses the second choice!" ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he didn't finish speaking, and Zhu Yujian made a choice.
He thought about it for a moment, and it was already clear in his heart. For this young Tang Shisun, nothing else mattered, the most important thing was not to let his two uncles succeed. It can be seen that in his original plane, he would beat his two uncles to death, which is indeed a bit crazy to do this in the era of filial piety in the feudal dynasty. If you know a little bit about it, you will do it secretly.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhu Yujian who was lying on the ground for a while, but he still said solemnly: "Although I also want you to choose the second choice, before you make a choice, listen to me finish the second choice." ”
Zhu Yujian listened, was a little surprised, raised his head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a little surprise, and then bowed down and said, "The sinner obeys the order!" ”
"If I want to prosper the Ming Dynasty, the problem of the vassal king must be solved. You should know that the vassal king of my Ming Dynasty is hereditary. In this way, the longer the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the more vassal kings will be. There will also be more and more fields that are not taxed. It is conceivable that one day in the future, there will be so many vassal kings that I am afraid that there will not be enough fields in the whole world to divide them. There is also the number of clan populations, which also increases over time. Many years ago, the imperial court was no longer able to afford the clan's wealth, so much so that the imperial court had to use various methods to reduce the number of people registered in the jade butterfly. ”
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of thing, whether it is for Da Ming or for our clan surnamed Zhu, is not a good result. The problems caused, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the clan, are unbearable. I say that, do you understand? ”
Zhu Yujian had already listened stupidly. In the past, he didn't think much about these things, and even complained about the court's mean clan after hearing some things. Now after listening to the emperor's explanation so carefully, he realized that this problem seemed to be very serious. At least he knew the amount of Tang Wang's fiefdom. But he couldn't figure it out, how to solve this matter? Haven't all dynasties had no good way, so they have been dragging it out like this? Could it be that the emperor is so young, but he already has a solution?
After Emperor Chongzhen asked, he didn't wait for Zhu Yujian to answer, so he continued: "Therefore, I have thought about it, instead of letting the vassal royal clan stay in the country and eventually drag the Ming Dynasty to perish together, it is better to uphold the will of Taizu and divide the vassal royal clan to foreign countries, open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and expand a new place of existence for the clan surnamed Zhu......"
Zhu Yujian was dumbfounded when he heard it, he never thought that the emperor would come up with such a solution, it was really unexpected!
Before he came back to his senses, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "For example, you, I plan to divide you to Dongwu, where there are abundant products and grain is ripe three times a year, but the barbarians don't know how to operate, so they have wasted a good place in vain." ”
With that, he looked up and gestured. When Cao Huachun saw it, he hurriedly took out the prepared Dongwu map from his sleeve and stepped forward to spread it on the table.
"Get up, and I'll tell you about the land of the cave."
Hearing this, Zhu Yujian had forgotten the distinction between respect and inferiority, and looked at the map curiously. Where is Donggo?
Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the Burmese land in later generations and said: "This is Dongwu, north of my Ming Yunnan, south of the Indian Ocean, there are many ports, can develop sailors to control many places." In addition, to the west is Tianzhu, where there are many plains, rich in products, but the locals are dull and lazy, and they are also blind to their land......"
Zhu Yujian looked at the map, thinking in his heart as he listened. Originally, when he saw Donggo there for the first time, he thought that it was not a wild place. But with Emperor Chongzhen's explanation, his eyes slowly lit up, there was such a good place?
After Emperor Chongzhen's introduction, he said to Zhu Yujian seriously: "My plan is to take back the existing Tang King's fief and change it to this Dongwu land. Of course, Dongwu's side does not accept the king, it is impossible to directly seal the past, you need to send troops to fight down, this matter, the court can assist you, how big the Tang King divides the territory depends on your own ability. ”
When Zhu Yujian heard this, he was a little surprised, and he didn't understand what the emperor meant by what he said at the end?
Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen also saw it in his eyes, so he continued to explain: "The imperial court uses troops in various places, and there is not much spare strength to use troops to cave me. Therefore, in the land of Dongwu, you still have to do it yourself. ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said solemnly: "I promise that the vassal states abroad are just like the vassal states determined by Taizu, the vassal king is in charge of military and political power, and all matters are decided by the vassal king. ”
When Zhu Yujian's eyes lit up, he continued to explain: "The troops needed to build a vassal state can be recruited by the vassal king in neighboring provinces; The necessary money and grain can be auctioned off on the existing sub-sealed land. In addition, I will also send the Imperial Court Commander and the General to assist, and lead the local authorities to fully cooperate. ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen paused, stared at Zhu Yujian's face and asked, "This is the second choice, how about it?" ”
