Seeing this majestic Forbidden City, Hao Fenglou had a feeling of farewell.

And he also understands that in fact, this trip to Beijing is not easy, because on the surface, he is returning triumphantly this time, but in fact, it is not the case, behind this glamorous, in fact, there are many hidden worries.

The only thing Hao Fenglou is fortunate about is that today is Yongle. When the son of Yongle was still the king of Yan, he had great military exploits, among the kings, the military exploits were the most prominent, and then he went to Beiping to a city, Jing was difficult to raise troops, against the world's military horses, and finally it was like a miracle to kill Jinling City, and set the world.

Such military exploits, in fact, no matter who it is, in front of him, it is inevitably overshadowed, and because of this, Hao Fenglou's many military exploits, if it is said to cover the light of Yongle, it is really a bit far-fetched, at least in the eyes of the world, Hao Fenglou Ping Jiaozhi, Ping Siam, although the credit is not small, but after all, it is a big bully, that Jiaozhi and Siam, finally barren land, no one can afford it, even if it is the defense of Beijing, it is just to defend the city, and it has taken a lot of advantage in attack and defense, so Hao Fenglou has made great contributions, it is really to compare, At least in the eyes of others, at most she is a Mu Ying, and she will never be comparable to today's son.

It's just that for now...... Judging from the news from Shenwuwei and Jinyiwei, it seems that many people are already ready to move, and they can't wait to give Hao Feng upstairs eye medicine.

On the surface, the officials of Jiaozhi are the Tusi appointed by the imperial court, but those Tusi have been completely tied to the Hao family regardless of politics or economy. Therefore, although nominally it is impossible for the Hao family to mobilize those toasts, and at most they have the right to supervise those toasts, but the power of control should not be underestimated.

Because of this. Some sinister arguments began to appear in the court, talking about what there is no Hao family, there is no Jiaozhi, there is no Siam, for the long-term peace and stability of southern Xinjiang, such killings, judging from the return of the eyeliner in the palace. It didn't have a great effect, and the Son of Heaven didn't think so. Although Yongle is suspicious, he is a generation of heroes after all, how can he be so decided. What's more, Hao Fenglou is usually deliberately low-key. also won the trust of the Son of Heaven.

It's just that Hao Fenglou understands. Some people have the intention of picking themselves up and sowing discord, but on the other hand, they are afraid that they can become the king of Siam, forever suppress Siam, borrow a Siam, and trap themselves. Since Hao Fenglou has been crowned the vassal king, there is naturally no need to stay in Beijing. This Jinyi Guard is the commander of the capital, and it is obvious that there is no possibility of continuing to stay in office. In this way, they fulfilled their wish and obtained complete control of the two capitals and fourteen provinces with one Siam, and this deal, no matter how you look at it, does not seem to be a loss.

No matter how you look at this deal, you won't lose money.

But I ...... What should I do......

Hao Fenglou squinted, and finally got off the sedan chair and walked into the doorway of the noon gate.

I must not leave Jingshi for the time being, this is the center of the world, and the future is determined here, no matter what, Hao Fenglou must stay.

Outside the warm pavilion, Hao Fenglou took a deep breath and stepped in.

"Wechen ......"

Hao Fenglou didn't see it clearly, and directly began to salute.

And he only said two words, and a burly body came to him and helped him up: "No need to be polite, haha...... I've been waiting for you for a long time, I can't think of it, I can't think of it, you guy, you came so late, let me wait, what, this way, I have suffered a lot, you look at you, you have lost a lot of weight, but you are more energetic, and a little more manly, come, sit down and rest. ”

Hao Fenglou even said that Weichen was grateful, and a eunuch moved a brocade pier, and after sitting down, Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty's complexion is also good. ”

Zhu Di is really good, he is fatter, and his figure is more burly, he is only wearing an autumn shirt, with his hands behind his back, pacing a few steps in this warm pavilion, and said: "Is there a difference between the war in Siam and the good news?" ”

Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "There is no discrepancy, but Weichen is also a fluke, speaking of which, it is really risky." ”

The reason why Zhu Di praised Hao Fenglou as a loyal minister, the key to the problem is here, he asked Hao Fenglou to send the King of Siam to Jinling, and Hao Fenglou has only two choices, one is to send troops from Zhenla step by step, at least it will take a year and a half, if you are lucky, fight well, and attack the royal capital of Siam, but it is not without opportunities.

The other option, which is obviously a bit risky, is to directly surprise the army, directly take the capital of Siam, and take the king of Siam.

The former is fine, the latter's surprise attack strategy is definitely an adventure, as long as there is a slight accident, it may lead to the annihilation of the entire army. After all, the surprise attack is a lone army, on the other hand, the supply is also insufficient, if you can't take the Siam royal capital as soon as possible, the other party only needs to clear the wall, this lone army may be trapped and starved to death.

Once it fails, the consequences are extremely strict, this Hao Fenglou is now rich and glorious, who is it, I am afraid that I would rather choose a safe way, after all, the emperor's order is important, but the army is marching step by step, no one can find a mistake, but he chose to take risks, for, isn't it the entrustment that Zhu Di gave him? Based on this alone, this Hao Fenglou doesn't want his life, nine deaths, swords and fires, and does not disgrace his mission, this loyalty is really well-deserved.

Zhu Di is a righteous person, in his opinion, Hao Fenglou is righteous and angry, how can he be indifferent.

Therefore, no matter how many rumors there are outside, it only increases his disgust and disgust, and in a certain way, the more people who don't deal with Hao Fenglou, the more Hao Fenglou's sincerity is revealed.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A eunuch came up with tea, Zhu Di took a sip, he seemed very happy, and finally pondered for a while, and said: "There is a minister who said that it is a matter of southern Xinjiang, and the Hao family can be said to have contributed a lot. Therefore, some people asked me to crown you as the king of Siam, following the customs of the vassal country, but I don't know what you think about this matter? ”

Zhu Di said, pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "Naturally, you don't have to doubt, you should speak freely." You've made a great contribution this time, and I've made up my mind to reward you heavily. ”

Hao Fenglou thought in his heart, sure enough, in fact, it is not impossible to be the king of Siam, but Hao Fenglou's willingness is obviously not here, this is not because he has any grand ambitions, but because of today's pattern, the whole body will be moved, this King of Siam is the court after all, if there is an omission in seizing the heir, or if the crown prince ascends the throne, he wants to take back his fate, why should the Hao family resist the will of the new son of heaven?

Naturally, with Langshan's strength, it may be enough to protect himself, but once a war breaks out, this is definitely not what Hao Fenglou wants to see.

After pondering for a long time, Hao Fenglou said: "This is a misleading statement. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di seemed to be smiling, looked at Hao Fenglou with his hands behind his back, and said, "Could it be that you don't want to be a vassal king?" ”

Hao Fenglou shook his head and said: "The vassal king is dominant, and the vassal minister has his own private thoughts, and this vassal king naturally wants to do it." ”

He is honest, he would rather be a snake head than a dragon tail, no matter how strong the Ming is, you are a minister after all, no matter how unbearable Siam is, as a king, he can do whatever he wants, how happy.

Hao Fenglou continued: "It's just that Siam must not set up a king again, it should be included in my Ming boundaries, this Siam is the hinterland of the West, west of Jiaozhi, south of the West, the land is also fertile, if it is cultivated, over time, it will definitely become another land of fish and rice in my Ming Dynasty together with that Zhenla, such a fertile soil, Your Majesty is not willing to give it up?" ”

Zhu Di frowned, in fact, he didn't know much about the situation in Siam, but it was said that it was indeed a good place, and like Champa, the land there was extremely fertile and indeed very suitable for farming.

Now Hao Fenglou has rejected the Siamese throne, but with such an excuse, it makes him feel a little interesting, such a good place, Hao Fenglou doesn't want it, he has to include him in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, this guy's loyalty, but it is too much.

Zhu Di said slowly: "You mean, follow the Jiaozhi system there, set up a toast, manage it, and make another will to relocate the population, persuade the farmers to persuade the mulberry, and reclaim the land, right?" ”

Reclamation of Siam and Champ, this is Hao Fenglou's calculation, but Siamese has few people, so this Siam has a borderless land, if the Son of Heaven can issue an edict to immigrate, and encourage a large number of people to go to Siam and Chenla to reclaim, then in time, there will become a land of fish and rice, and once the imperial court is determined to open the mouth of immigration, then it will not be long before there will be a large number of migration for millions of Han people, which can not only solve the problem of overpopulation of Jiaozhi industry, but also the lack of food in Jiaozhi, At the same time, it will also greatly strengthen the control of Siam.

If this is the case, then it is not an exaggeration to say that it is beneficial for a thousand years. And if Hao Fenglou becomes the king, as the lord of the country, Hao Fenglou can certainly strengthen the connection with the Ming Dynasty, but will his children and grandchildren be the same as himself? As a king, in order to maintain his independence, no matter which descendant of the Hao family comes to power in the future, he will definitely weaken the influence of the Ming Dynasty and try his best to reduce his dependence on the Ming Dynasty.
