It’s time to see what’s going on, and let’s see the pictures one by one.
When the Ruan Lord Ruan Phuc Bin was alive, all his subordinates had the word "loyalty" in mind, and they would be as loyal as they wanted. But when he died, he left orphans and widows, but it was hard to say, and all the monsters and ghosts appeared.
Ruan Youjin secretly said to Ruan Youyi: "Brother, the little virtuous master is only three years old now. How can it be a blessing to the country to lead a young country? Why don't you take your place and be the king of Guangnan, and I will be the deputy king of Guangnan. In this way, Guangnan's national affairs will Let’s just leave it to you and me. How about that?”
The term deputy king was an invention of the ancients, and was reserved for powerful ministers. Historically, Emperor Yongli once thought of fleeing south to Annam, so he sent someone to confer the title of deputy king of Annan, the powerful Qingdu king Zheng Jie of the Later Li Dynasty.
Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin are both generals of the Ruan family and are also members of the collateral clan. One is stationed in Quang Ngai and the other is stationed in Quy Nhon. They have high positions and have more than 10,000 troops each.
These two people, like Zhu Hengjia, are ambitious wolves in the side clans. How can golden scales be a thing in a pond? They turn into dragons when the storm hits.
Ruan Youyi thought for a while and said: "Today is different from the past. If you want this matter to succeed, the heaven must nod."
As a result, the two plundered countless gold and silver treasures and paid tribute to Yang Wu, the general of Pingnan in the Ming Dynasty, and Hu Zhigong, the governor of Annan.
After receiving too many gifts, he inevitably felt uneasy. Yang Wu came to see Hu Zhigong and said, "Futai, tell me, if you don't accept the gifts from the Annan people, they will be in vain. But now, we have accepted so many gifts from others, so we must pay for them." But Ruan Youyi is not the direct descendant of Lord Ruan. If you report it, the Holy One may not necessarily agree."
Hu Zhigong looked surprised, "Who told the marshal to do things after receiving gifts? In the past, I served as an aide to Chen Bangchuan, General Si'en. General Chen received countless gifts from our Lord, but in the end he had nothing to do. Helping the Holy One to do things, but instead want to send troops to attack the Holy One. It can be seen that receiving gifts and doing things is a fool's view."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Wu's face turned red with embarrassment, "As officials of the Celestial Dynasty, if we accept gifts and do nothing, wouldn't it damage the image of the Celestial Dynasty?"
"It doesn't matter, the commander-in-chief might as well ask Ruan Youyi to go up to the road and ask for the title of King and Vice-King of Guangnan. If this form is sent to Nanjing, the Holy One will definitely not agree. If the Holy One does not agree, you can't blame us."
"How could Futai know that His Majesty would not agree?"
"Your Majesty has been honored as the Son of Heaven. Naturally, he hopes that his descendants will last for thousands of generations and that the country will last forever, so he will definitely emphasize the patriarchal inheritance. Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin are not the direct descendants of the Ruan family. His Majesty will definitely not be sure, and will instead establish Ruan Phu Bin. The three-year-old is the king.
When Yang Wu heard this, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "Futai is such a talented person, his knowledge is a hundred times better than my own!"
Hu Zhigong smiled and said, "I asked Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin to come forward, not just to fend off the two of them. It also has another purpose."
"Oh, what's the use?"
"You can show this table and the Holy Spirit's approval to Princess Zheng and those who are loyal to the Ruan family. In this way, they will definitely be grateful to our Ming Dynasty."
"That's it." Yang Wu was so impressed that he said, "Futai is really a god!"
??
I heard that Yang Wu, the general of Pingnan in the Ming Dynasty, asked him to go to the Celestial Dynasty and ask for the title of King and Deputy King of Guangnan, Ruan Youyi. Ruan Youjin was ecstatic and secretly said that the officials of the Celestial Dynasty accepted the gift and were willing to do things. It is indeed a country of etiquette!

Annan State calls itself Little China, and there are many talented people who can write seals. Soon, the seal was written together: "Accepting the order of heaven, the emperor and the master are in the inner world. Fu Wei, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, serves the heaven to protect the extreme, and uses virtue to support the people.
, the mountains and rivers are supported by the people, and the four seas return to the heart. The prosperity of the country is at the beginning, and all the countries admire the rule of the Reform; the saintly virtue is broad, and Guangnan promotes Wuji's benevolence. The minister Ruan Youyi, although Ruan Youjin is a foreign minister, he also deeply appreciates the emperor's kindness and always thinks of repaying his service.
If you can be established as the king or deputy king of Guangguo, then the land of Guangnan will be the land of the Ming Dynasty; the people of Guangnan will also be your majesty’s pure sons. I would like to show my kindness and be loyal to you."
This form was quickly sent to Nanjing by Hu Zhigong on a fast ship.
??
"Mother, what's wrong, those two traitors Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin actually went to the Ming Emperor to ask for the title of King and Deputy King of Guangnan." The Ruan family's Guangnan Mansion, Mei Wanlong and Deng who were loyal to the direct descendants of the Ruan family,
Hui and other ministers urgently informed Nguyen Phuc Binh’s widow, Princess Zheng.
Princess Zheng held her three-year-old little prince Nguyen Phuc Khin in her arms and burst into tears: "When my late husband was alive, the two of them were extremely kind to me. They regarded them as their right and left arms and entrusted them with the power to command the army. But unexpectedly, my late husband bullied me as soon as he passed away.
Orphans and widowed mothers. Come on, come on, come on, I will fulfill the wishes of these two people, and my mother and son will return to the countryside."
"It's absolutely impossible. The people of Guangnan are all in love with the little virtuous Lord. How can the empress abdicate against the people's wishes?"
"What can I do if I don't abdicate? All the best troops in Guangnan are in the hands of two thieves, what can I do?"
Mei Wanlong said: "Although the two thieves have a lot of troops, if the Ming Dynasty wishes to make the little wise master the king, the two thieves can't do anything. The empress can bribe General Yang and Governor Hu with a lot of money, and at the same time go to the heaven and ask the little wise master to be the king."
King of the South".
Princess Zheng sighed, hugged Ruan Fuqin and saluted Mei Wanlong and Deng Hui: "I am a woman who does not understand the affairs of the country. I will entrust this matter to the second minister. If this Huangkou boy can keep the throne, all the second ministers will do it."
"The power".
Mei Wanlong, Deng Hui couldn't help but burst into tears, "My queen is relieved, even if my ministers and others are shattered to pieces, we still want to protect the young virtuous master's succession to the throne."
Mei Wanlong and Deng Hui brought a lot of money and asked to see Yang Wu and Hu Zhigong. Yang and Hu agreed again. Hu Zhigong also warmly gave Mei Wanlong and Deng Hui advice on how to put on the watch. Mei and Deng were offended.
Tears of gratitude.
Therefore, the invitation form for the young virtuous master Nguyen Phu Qun was also written: "The emperor's destiny is destined to govern all directions. I respect His Majesty the Ming Emperor. He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His kindness is spread widely. The light is vast. It is endless forever. The six universes share it.
Dai, Bafang Xiange. Although my minister Ruan Phuc Qin lives far away in Guangnan, he still feels the prosperity of our emperor and sees the prosperity of learning. I wish that the heavens will be kind to you and Jin Ou will be consolidated. My father Ruan Phuc died in the king's affairs, and the people of Guangnan
Everyone is heartbroken and saddened. Today, orphans and widowed mothers have no branches to rely on, crying day and night, and are terrified. If I receive your majesty's kindness, I will make you the king of Guangnan. I will repay you with a wreath of grass and a ring in my head for the rest of my life. I would like to bow down and listen to the mourning of the young bird."

After Hu Zhigong received this form, he also sent someone to Nanjing by speedboat.

In the Qianqing Palace in Nanjing, Zhu Hengjia couldn't help but laugh when he saw these two watches.
Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin, two pro-Ming factions in Guangnan, in order to become the king and deputy king of Guangnan, they actually said that "the land of Guangnan is the land of the Ming Dynasty". They wanted to sell everything out of Guangnan! Well, they want to play the profit card; what Princess Zheng said to her three-year-old child, "orphaned and widowed, with no branches to rely on", well, they want to play the tragedy card.
As a mature and experienced politician and the supreme ruler of the vast land of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu did not think about problems based only on Guangnan, but focused on the overall situation.
On the surface, it seems more advantageous to support the two pro-Ming sects Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin. But since he usurped the position of his direct lineage as a collateral clan, he naturally did not want other clans to follow his example and usurp the position of his descendants. , so it is absolutely impossible to abolish the direct descendants and establish concubines. Moreover, Ruan Fuqin is only three years old, so he is young and easier to control.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hengjia decided to make Ruan Fuqin the king of Guangnan. In order to appease the two pro-Ming factions Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin, he also made Ruan Youyi the deputy king of Guangnan, in charge of the national affairs of Guangnan; Ruan Youjin was the governor of Guangnan and was in charge of the military power of Guangnan.< /p>
He wrote in the form written by Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin: "I am very relieved that the two ministers have great ambitions for the Ming Dynasty. If I abolish the direct descendants and establish a concubine, I may cause turmoil in Guangnan. I will make you two deputy kings and governors of Guangnan, and they will be in charge of political affairs." , Military Affairs. I hope you will be loyal to your duties and will not disappoint me."
He also wrote on Ruan Fuqin's form: "I pity the orphans and widowers very much. Don't worry, as long as you wholeheartedly focus on the Ming Dynasty, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you.
Emperor Guangwu was always decisive in his work. Now that he had decided to canonize Nguyen Phuc Chin as King of Guangnan, he immediately ordered the Hanlin Academy to draw up a decree and sent officials to Guangnan to confer the title ceremony.

The emperor's system is said to be the result of the saintly benevolence and broad movement, so that he can rule over all nations. In the past, my great ancestor drove away the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and gave birth to many people. His virtues spread overseas, and the foreign guests were convinced. I inherited the virtues left by my ancestors to control the world and the world. When the earth is over, no one will fail to respect my orders; when the sun rises over the sea, Pu will not fail to lead me. Fu Guangnan is a country that has been abiding by duties and tributes for three hundred years. You, Ruan Fuqin, have come to me in a hurry, and you are an orphan and a widowed mother. , fearful and uneasy. I am a young boy who knows how to respect China, admires my fellow countrymen, and is willing to ask for help. His feelings are pitiable, and his ambitions are commendable. Since your feelings are strong in obedience, my kindness should be more gentle than gentle. I am here to grant you this special title. As the king of Guangnan, I have been given an imperial edict. You should be mindful of the duties of your ministers and strictly abide by the essentials. You are grateful for the emperor's kindness and have no money in exchange for it. You will only obey his words and always respect his teachings. Your Majesty!

Madam, thank you quickly. Qian Sulin, a doctor from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty who came to issue the decree, gently reminded Princess Zheng who was holding Ruan Fuqin.
Princess Zheng stood up after thanking her. She couldn't help but burst into tears and shed tears of gratitude. With the canonization of the Ming Emperor, her son's throne was stable. She thanked Qian Sulin again and again and said: "Please angels to report back to the Holy One. The Holy One is so kind to me and my son."
Never forget."
Princess Zheng and her son were happy, but Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin were a little unhappy.
Also, after spending so much gold, silver and jewels, but nothing was done, everyone was angry. The two of them came to Hu Zhigong angrily, "Futai, why didn't the Holy One consecrate us, but that Huangkou boy?"
Hu Zhigong was not annoyed at all. He smiled and took Zhu Hengjia's reply to the two of them and said: "Please see, sir, although the Holy Father did not appoint me as king or deputy king, he still let me be in charge of political affairs and military affairs. How is this?
Trust. Wouldn’t it be good to be a king who is not a king? The future is long."
Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin saw the content of Zhu's criticism and heard the four words "The future will be long", and they were angry and happy.
They thought they had the support of Hu Zhigong, so they acted more and more arrogantly, cultivating party members, installing cronies, monopolizing power, and treating Princess Zheng and her son as nothing.
Princess Zheng couldn't help but feel uneasy, so she summoned Mei Wanlong, and Deng Hui discussed: "Ruan Youyi, Ruan You has the power to advance troops, and he is running rampant. Sooner or later, there will be rebellion. What can be done?"
Deng Hui said: "Empress, now we can only ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to Hue, so that the king's throne can be as stable as a rock."
Mui Wanlong said: "No, if the Ming army enters Hue, I'm afraid the wolves will come again before the wolves are driven out."
Deng Hui said: "It doesn't matter. I just need to borrow three thousand Ming troops to station them to contain the power of Er Ruan."
Princess Zheng sighed: "After all, the Ming Dynasty is a celestial kingdom. Even if he plots against me in Guangnan, he will still consider his dignity and treat my mother and son well. If Er Ruan usurps the throne, my mother and son will die without a burial place." Then she ordered Mei
Wanlong negotiates with Hu Zhigong.
Hu Zhigong was a happy person. After hearing Mei Wanlong's purpose of coming, he immediately said: "It is not difficult to get the Ming Dynasty to send troops and horses to garrison Hue, but there are two conditions: first, the Guangnan Kingdom must pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty 50,000 taels of silver every year.
Secondly, the Ming Dynasty had promised to help the Ruan family capture Guangping and govern the two prefectures in Guangping, but this agreement was invalidated."
Mei Wanlong gritted his teeth and agreed.
Hu Zhigong wrote another inscription and set up officials to govern the three prefectures of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh and Quang Zhi. From then on, the entire south of the Lan River in Annan State became the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty.
