Normally, even if the monarchs of the small countries surrounding the Central Plains Dynasty surrendered, they would not actually go to the Kyoto of the Central Plains Dynasty on their own.
Generally, it is communication between envoys from both sides.
There are also small countries that particularly like Han culture, and their monarchs have personally visited them, but such cases are rare, and only a few times in thousands of years.
It is almost unique for the great emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty to come to a small country.
Chen Yong's calves were trembling today.
In the past, he was the most noble person in Annan, but now the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came in person to let him know what the true power of the dragon is.
"The young king of Annan, Chen Yong, pays homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
“Long live your Majesty!
!”
As Annan King Chen Yong spoke, the kneeling Annan court ministers behind him, including Li Xiucai and Zhu Gaochi, also shouted: "Long live your Majesty, long live long live!"
!”
"No gifts, stay on your own terms!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing the respectful and submissive Annan King Chen Yong, half-bowing his body after standing up, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very happy in his heart.
"Don't be so afraid. We are not man-eating tigers. Okay, let's go into the city together."
When Zhu Yuanzhang was talking, he patted Chen Yong on the shoulder to show his closeness.
This made Chen Yong tremble.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
But I thought in my heart: Of course you are not a man-eating tiger, but you are a giant dragon soaring in the sky!
With this thought in mind, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang closely.
"Is the eldest grandson okay?" Zhu Yuanzhang walked over a few steps, looked at the eldest grandson and asked with concern.
He keenly caught a hint of fatigue in his eldest grandson's eyes, and suddenly felt a little heartbroken.
"Grandpa, I'm fine."
Zhu Ying was naturally the only one who didn't need to kowtow. He had been standing all the time before. When others saluted, he only had to bow slightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so familiar with his grandson that he could feel the obvious overflowing sadness of his grandson when he heard the voice.
But in the end Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything to comfort him.
The arrival of the southern patrol army in Annan is undoubtedly very exciting news for the people who migrated to Annan.
People are strangers in a foreign land. Most people were attracted by the migration policy and moved their families to Annan. However, the completely different climate and lifestyle here seemed to make the people of the Ming Dynasty always feel out of place.
It seems that Annan has returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but the large number of chieftains living here make the people of the Ming Dynasty always feel that they are very far away from the Ming Dynasty.
But it's different now. Your Majesty and your grandson have already arrived in Annan, which plays a great role in uniting people's hearts.
Immediately, I felt that Annan, a county in the Ming Dynasty where I was located, was closely connected with the Ming Dynasty.
The next day, Annan made an early morning visit.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne in the Annan Chaohui Hall.
The court meeting was not long, and Zhu Yuanzhang only gave a few words of encouragement, but all the procedures were in accordance with the Ming Dynasty's method.
Only now did Annan's ministers truly realize.
The weather in Annan has changed.
The day after Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Annan was about the funeral of Zhennan King Liu Sheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew something about Liu Sheng.
He also knew that he had helped his eldest grandson, so naturally he would not talk about the relationship between his eldest grandson and his pursuit of the throne.
In fact, according to normal standards, Liu Sheng himself did not even have a title, so he was granted the title of king all of a sudden, which was not in compliance with the rules.
But these minor details are not important. Dasun can do whatever he thinks.
It was supposed to be buried after the first seven days, but due to the climate in Annan, there was no secret medicine of the Ming Dynasty to keep the body from rotting.
It can only be buried on the third day.
The most conspicuous place in Annan's royal tomb is the location chosen by Zhu Ying himself, and Liu Sheng was buried here.
"I heard that some people have strong opinions about King Zhennan entering the Annan Tomb?"
In the Annan Palace, Zhu Ying asked Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi replied: "The commotion was mainly caused by some former Annan veterans. They felt that the status of King Zhennan was not suitable for entering the royal tomb."
Zhu Ying replied somewhat indifferently: "According to their intention, they want to dig out the coffin of King Zhen'an and change its position."
Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to talk.
He knew that the eldest brother was really angry in this regard.
"I don't want to hear this news anymore. No matter who it is, everything has been dealt with."
Zhu Ying's voice was a little cold, and he had no intention of being tolerant towards these Annan veterans.
As long as they are involved, all of them should be put to death.
Zhu Gaochi asked hesitantly: "What do you mean, brother?"
Zhu Ying said calmly: "I won't be able to stay in Annan for long. These people dare to speak now. If I leave with grandpa, wouldn't it be even more unscrupulous?"
"To cut the grass, we need to root it out, especially for those who are still living in the past. I am afraid they will be against our Ming Dynasty all the time."
"Although there are not many plans in Annan's mouth, they are of little use."
"Let's investigate thoroughly. Anyone who is implicated can be killed. There is no need to kill the nine clans."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Ying ordered: "You will have to stay in Annan for a long time to handle government affairs. If it is placed on you, I'm afraid it will have some impact."
"You should accept all the intelligence personnel left by King Zhennan. Give the list of personnel involved to Song Zhong and let him handle it."
He knew that the eldest brother wanted to use this matter to clean up Shenglong City.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying was obviously much more murderous.
Anyone who dares to oppose the Ming Dynasty will not be required to do any hard labor, and will be executed directly.
Since the knife has already been used, let's kill them cleanly, so as not to leave any descendants behind for revenge, which is plainly a trouble.
Song Zhong and Jiang Wei naturally followed the southern patrol army all the way.
Jiang Wei is currently the commander of Jinyi Guards, but in fact the power has been transferred to Song Zhong.
Song Zhong was a little excited after receiving the order.
Taisun asked him to handle the matter. This was Taisun's trust in him. Moreover, in Song Zhong's eyes, these foreign people dared to talk about Taisun. They simply didn't know how to write the word "death".
Then let me teach you Haosheng.
Zhu Gaochi accepted Liu Sheng, Zhao Yuanhong's intelligence officer who had been lurking in Annan.
Including the previous news delivered to the Daiyi clan, Zhu Gaochi was the first to know.
For the capital of Annan, naturally a large number of personnel have been arranged for supervision, just like the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty.
In less than two days, the roster was already in Song Zhong's hands.
Looking at the roster, Song Zhong smiled: "It seems that my grandson's prediction was good. Our Crown Prince Yan is really too soft-hearted."
The intelligence personnel were generally members of the former Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
Even Zhu Gaochi didn't know that in terms of priority, Zhu Ying, his former employer, was at the highest level.
As early as the night before Zhu Gaochi delivered the roster, Zhu Ying had more lists here.
There is evidence in the list Zhu Gaochi gave to Song Zhong.
However, the number of people involved in the list Zhu Ying gave to Song Zhong was much larger. Most of them had no evidence and were just speculations by intelligence personnel.
Zhu Ying killed someone, do you still need evidence?
Especially for these Annan veterans, their thoughts will naturally not be on Ming's side.
Maybe he talks good things about Ming Dynasty on weekdays, but he is actually planning something secretly.
The Daiyi people's ambush of the southern patrol army seemed to be just the action of these chieftains, but did the noble ministers in the royal capital really give them no support at all?
Those chieftains have more than 20 cannons in their hands. Can these chieftains easily get such things?
Even if there is no evidence to prove any connection with these noble ministers in the royal capital, you can understand with your buttocks that there is absolutely no way to escape the relationship.
A thorough investigation is too laborious, so it is better to cut through the mess quickly.
Even if it's just catching wind and shadow, that's enough.
Annan Imperial Academy.
Similar to the Ming Dynasty, those who can become Hanlin bachelors are those who are knowledgeable in Annan.
Annan's official system basically followed the Central Plains system, which was somewhat different from the current Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty system was a major reform carried out by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The official system of Annan was probably close to that of the Song Dynasty.
At the entrance of the Hanlin Academy, Song Zhong led more than 300 people to block the door.
"You military officers are simply too presumptuous. This is a place for scholars. How can you, these warrior barbarians, trespass randomly?"
"Leave quickly, otherwise we will report it to the Emperor."
Seeing a large number of imperial guards from the Ming Dynasty gathered, the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy immediately panicked.
There was that tough guy who stood at the gate and started scolding Song Zhong and others.
Civil servants looked down on military attachés, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in Annan.
When Song Zhong heard this, he immediately grinned.
"It seems that in Annan, our Jinyiwei's reputation is not enough."
The thousands and hundreds of households following him all burst out laughing after listening to Song Zhong's words.
You must know that if it were in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who saw the Jin Yiwei, they would tremble with fear.
But this Annan, someone dared to confront him, he was really scared.
"Sir, it seems that we have to let these distinguished ministers in Annan know what our Jinyiwei does." You Qianhu suggested with a smile.
Song Zhong no longer hesitated and ordered: "According to the decree of Emperor Taisun, someone in the Hanlin Academy is conspiring to commit rebellion. I will be responsible for a thorough investigation. However, those who resist can be dealt with on the spot."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and many guards in uniform rushed forward.
The guard blocking the door simply fell to the ground with two swords.
Some Hanlin Academy bachelors were blocking the road before they could react. The Jin Yiwei didn't even bother to say hello, they raised their swords and dropped them cleanly.
The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy who had been scolded earlier did not even have a chance to beg for mercy. He was stabbed through by the approaching Jin Yiwei with a knife and his throat was wiped with his backhand.
A scream suddenly erupted in the courtyard.
Song Zhong was strolling around in the courtyard, while the imperial guards went on a killing spree.
A large number of Hanlin Academy bachelors fled to the backyard, trying to leave through the back door.
I don't know that Jin Yiwei's work is naturally full, how could he let people run away? Wouldn't it look too unprofessional?
At the back door, dozens of Jinyi guards had already been ambushed, and they were here to kill one by one.
"Leave a few alive, don't kill them all. We still need to interrogate some evidence."
Song Zhong shouted casually, after all, he still had to give some explanation later.
Immediately, seven or eight people were arrested and knelt down in front of Song Zhong.
"You actually behave like this, and you will definitely be punished in the future."
There are always a few scholars who have a strong temperament.
Seeing this, Song Zhong didn't bother to talk nonsense and just went over with his sword.
"Why do you need so many? Just four or five."
After saying that, he hacked two more people to death. After looking at the number of people, he took back the Xiuchun knife with satisfaction.
In less than two sticks of incense, the screams in the Imperial Academy were obviously gone.
The four people kneeling in front of Song Zhong were the remnants of the hundreds of people in the entire Hanlin Academy.
These four people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they did not dare to say a word. Some of them were even frightened by the yellow and white thing.
"nausea."
Song Zhong used his sword to chop the man to death again, and then ordered the Jinyi guards around him to drag him further away.
Song Zhong grabbed the Xiuchun knife dripping with blood and slapped one of them on the face.
"You answer whatever I ask, do you understand?"
The man was obviously so frightened that he didn't say anything for a while.
When Song Zhong saw this, he cut him off with a single blow.
"Trash, I don't even know how to talk. What use do you have?"
Then his eyes turned to the last two people left.
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me, I say, I will say anything."
The two men were kowtowing crazily on the ground. This scene of Song Zhong killing someone after a disagreement was unlike anything they had ever seen.
Song Zhong nodded with satisfaction, leaving a few people to interrogate, while he led others to the next house.
There are still dozens of noble ministers on the roster. Although hundreds of other nobles have been arranged, many of the nobles of the Chen family involved need Song Zhong to go in person.
In the Hanlin Academy, there are no specific details on the roster.
According to Zhu Ying's opinion, the Annan Imperial Academy did not need to keep anyone alive, it could just arrange two charges.
After the remaining two people finished writing their charges, they naturally could not escape the result of being executed.
Like the Ming Dynasty, these bachelors in the Annan Imperial Academy are undoubtedly the holy place in the hearts of Annan scholars.
The cultural heritage of Annan is preserved here.
Although they have been advocating the cultivation of Han culture, it does not take much to understand that these old bachelors of the Hanlin Academy will definitely not be willing to cooperate.
But before, for the sake of the overall stability of Annan, neither Liu Sheng nor Zhu Gaochi dared to attack the Hanlin Academy directly.
Zhu Ying naturally didn't have so many scruples.
Even if there was no problem with Liu Sheng or the Daiyi clan, they would still find a reason to deal with the Hanlin Academy.
In the future, the Hanlin Academy will only spread Han culture.
The Hanlin Academy in Annan is gone, so naturally the Imperial College cannot be spared either.
However, the Imperial College is different from the Hanlin Academy. There are many students here who are students of Chinese culture.
Song Zhong did not go on a killing spree here. He had already established contact with the Ming students in the Imperial Academy and arrested all the students whose hearts were still in Annan.
It is basically impossible for these students to come back.
The Annan-Chen Dynasty stipulated that "marriages in the royal family are not based on different surnames but on the same surname", which is the so-called "all marriages are of the same surname".
The Chen royal family group became a wall protecting the throne of the Chen ruler.
The final target is naturally these members of the Annan Chen family.
