The three kings of Ping, Ding and Yong!

Maybe they are just three young vassal kings, but their identities are extremely special. They are the descendants of the late emperor Chongzhen, especially Prince Ping, who was the former prince!

Former Kunimoto!

Even though he is just an ordinary vassal king now, he is still the son of the late emperor! His identity is destined to be different from others.

Not him!

The identities of the three of them are extremely sensitive among the daimyo. Even in many cases, the daimyo will always ignore them intentionally or unintentionally.

It's not neglect.

But to avoid mentioning them, after all, logically speaking, they should inherit the throne of Ming Dynasty!

But now the request made by the King of Tang makes it impossible for everyone to ignore them, because now the King of Tang requests to move overseas, it is not for himself, it is clearly Xiangzhuang's sword dance!

"The Emperor Yu Xian of the Tang Dynasty still has grudges!"

Lu Zhenfei let out a long sigh, causing everyone's expressions to change slightly.

How can I not be resentful?

It was the late emperor who decreed that the world should be diligent in its work, and among the vassal kings, only one Tang king responded. In the end, not only was there no merit, but it turned out to be a crime, and he was imprisoned under the high walls of Zhongdu and suffered all kinds of torture.

I feel bad... what a liar!

It's better now. The fault of me should be on my son.

Overseas, no matter how hard it is overseas, it can still be as hard as the high walls of China.

I'm not feeling well, and you three young masters don't want to be feeling well either!

This King of Tang... is so scheming!

"My Ming Dynasty has no precedent of sealing a vassal overseas. In this case..."

Li Jiantai said seriously.

"It's better to go back! See Bai, what do Yanwen think?"

In fact, the cabinet has no right to reject him, because logically they only have the power to vote, and the decisions they make require the emperor's consent.

However, under normal circumstances, the emperor will not overturn the cabinet's decision. Of course, the cabinet must make a decision before that.

And his decision was to reject the request of the King of Tang. He may be a mediocre minister, but he has never forgotten the kindness of the late emperor. When it came to the three princes, he had to express his gratitude. At the same time, he also involved Lu Zhenfei and Gao Hong.

Picture, they are all former emperor’s old ministers!

"The king has no fault, why should he be sealed away thousands of miles away?"

Lu Zhenfei also expressed his opinion. As long as three of the five cabinet ministers reach an agreement, the matter is basically settled.

But facing their decision, Gao Hongtu remained silent for a while.

"Yanwen, I have other opinions..."

Facing Li Jiantai's inquiry, Gao Hongtu replied:

"I don't think it's a good thing to be sealed overseas without payment."

Li Jiantai's face turned slightly gloomy. Didn't Gao Hongtu remember the kindness of the late emperor? Did he want to watch the late emperor's blood being exiled overseas?

But he couldn't say such words, and he didn't dare to say them. He just said coldly:

"Then tell me why it's not a good thing."

How to say?

Where to start?

Gao Hongtu's heart was full of mixed feelings. How could he talk about going overseas to save the lives of the three princes?

Stay in the Ming Dynasty... Not to mention the other people, you two, the reason why you have such a reaction, isn't it because you are thinking of the late emperor's old kindness?

The more this happens, the harder it is to save their lives!

You guys...are you really confused?

If you want to preserve the late emperor's bloodline, you must throw them far away. Only in this way can you save their lives. Only if your majesty can't see them and everyone can't see them can they live their lives in peace.

Otherwise, in the end...are we going to let them be locked up in the high walls of Zhongdu for the rest of their lives like the common people?

In comparison, being exiled overseas... that was also the prince of the Ming Dynasty, would be better than being locked up in the high walls of Zhongdu for the rest of his life.

But Gao Hongtu didn't dare to say this, let alone say it.

Saying it is a capital crime!

He just sighed:

"I just think that His Majesty intends to open up territory for our Ming Dynasty overseas, and at the moment, whether it is Taiwan, Hekou, or even Nantianmen, it can be captured without spending a single soldier.

, in this case, it is not a bad thing to confer the title of king overseas. Besides, this overseas is not like a remote place like the ancients said. I heard from Da Yuan County that the number of Da Yuan is now less than that of the big counties in the interior.

There are no less than a million acres of fertile farmland and thousands of people. It is just a stereotype to think that overseas is barbaric."

In the past, why did the ministers of the DPRK and China oppose the expansion of territory?

Not against opening up Xinjiang

Zhang Bingwen agreed:

"What Yan Wen said is true. The people in Henan were poor and their output was limited. It was really difficult to support the vassal king. However, rice was abundant overseas, and the Tang king stabilized the vassal overseas. Not only was the ancestral status guaranteed, but the burden on the people of Henan was also reduced.

many."

Zhang Bingwen had selfish motives regarding the memorial to the King of Tang. He hoped that the King of Tang would go overseas, and even more so the three princes. This was the only way to save their lives. Maybe His Majesty can accommodate them now, but

What about the future?

Your Majesty wants to be a holy king!

At present, the world is afraid of His Majesty's temperament, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. However, it is inevitable that some people will use the three princes as their banner in the future. Even if the three princes are unwilling, they will not be able to stop others. Then Your Majesty will be in a dilemma.

To kill or not to kill?

We can only seal them far away, even further overseas than Nantianmen. At that time, we will no longer have to worry about them being used by others and losing their lives in vain in the end, and His Majesty will not be forced to bear the burden of filth.

name.

Of course, this is the only way to repay the late emperor.

This time the King of Tang requested an order to move to the country. This was for revenge. It was clearly to preserve the bloodline of the late emperor. The King of Tang was really loyal to the Ming Dynasty!

Leaving three great kings in the Ming Dynasty will really cause endless troubles!

But he could say these words in front of Song Xuezhu, but he could not say them in front of everyone. Even among their five cabinet ministers, they could not clarify these words.

These are treacherous words. After all, the emperor is a sage. It is impossible to kill the three kings. It is impossible under any circumstances. Now that you are saying this, you are simply instigating the clan members. You will definitely not be able to save your head...

Everyone understands the relationship, but no one can take the initiative to speak out.

Those who don’t understand, do not agree with the Tang king’s transfer of feudal vassals.

What to do now?

Zhang Bingwen pondered and stopped talking. Seeing this, Song Xuezhu said again.

"Then let's vote. After the vote, even if the cabinet has made a decision, we can't argue with His Majesty when we see him later. Otherwise, what will the ministers think if we call His Majesty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an official came in to report.
