"Xue Shangshu, please hurry up. I came to you this time because I hope you can draft an imperial edict for Annan!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
kindness!
Hearing the word Annan, Xue Bingtian's eyes were suddenly startled, and then his eyes showed excitement.
When the Ming Dynasty's national power was weak, Annan seized many places in Yunnan, a small area. He dared to be so arrogant. At that time, the officials in the DPRK and China were furious!
Unfortunately, there was not enough food and grass at that time, not to mention the military strength, so we could only let it go. His Royal Highness finally thought of Yunnan!
"His Royal Highness, are you planning to declare war on Annan and take back the land of Yunnan?
I will definitely devote all my writing to making Annan understand the anger of our Ming Dynasty!"
Xue Bingtian said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan said: "Xue Shangshu, it seems that you are also passionate. The imperial edict I asked you to draft is not a letter of war, but an imperial edict!"
"The content of the imperial edict is for Annan to withdraw from the land of Yunnan, and for occupying the land of Yunnan for many years, he must compensate the Ming Dynasty three trillion taels of silver!"
"If they don't pay compensation, I will destroy their mountains and rivers and make them disappear from the earth!"
hiss!
Xue Bingtian was shocked when he heard what Lin Fan said. His Highness the Crown Prince is really cruel! It is impossible for Annan to agree to the compensation of three trillion taels of silver!
Since they will not agree, it means that His Highness the Crown Prince has made plans to destroy them!
"Your Highness, I will go back and write the imperial edict right now. Once it is drafted, I will hand it over to you!"
Xue Bingtian said excitedly.
Lin Fan said: "Xue Shangshu, don't write in such a procrastinating way, try to be as concise as possible, so that when those thieves see this edict, they will know to pay compensation, otherwise they will perish!"
Xue Bingtian nodded repeatedly without sitting in the sedan chair, and ran back to the Ministry of Rites in a hurry. After arriving at the Ministry of Rites, he began to draft the imperial edict. After writing it, he ran to the prince's residence.
These two trips didn't take much time in total. After Lin Fan saw the concise and clear imperial edict, he was very satisfied and took it directly into the palace.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was playing chess with Wang Chengen.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. If you play here, you will lose this game of chess. You have to play here!"
Wang Chengen pointed to a place on the chessboard and said with a smile.
Emperor Chongzhen looked left and right and said: "Nonsense! If I fell here, I would have fallen into your trap. You, you, are no match for me at all!"
Snap!
With that said, Emperor Chongzhen directly dropped the chess piece. Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your chess skills are getting better and better. If you play it here, I can only put it here."
"Look! If you play here, wouldn't I win this round, haha!"
Emperor Chongzhen laughed happily. He narrowly won this game again. Little did he know that Wang Chengen was giving in to him. Otherwise, he would have lost this game.
"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you!"
At this time, a eunuch came in to report.
kindness?
Emperor Chongzhen raised his head, looked at the man and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming in, what else do you want to report?
Just let him in!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The eunuch hurriedly retreated, and not long after, Lin Fan walked in with a drafted imperial edict in his hand.
"Father!"
Lin Fan said.
After getting along for such a long time, when Lin Fan called Emperor Chongzhen his father again, he didn't feel any sense of disobedience and just called him out.
"Well! Fan'er, why did you come to see me this time?
You should stop antagonizing the ministers in the DPRK and build up your prestige and build a good relationship with them!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Father, my son came here this time and drafted an imperial edict. I also asked my father to review it. If there are no problems, let the Chief of Ceremonies make it!"
Lin Fan said.
After all, the drafted imperial edict has no legal effect. It must be written down in the imperial edict stored in the Supervisor of Ceremonies before it becomes effective.
"Oh! You drafted an imperial edict and showed it to me!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
Lin Fan handed the drafted imperial edict to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "I asked Xue Bingtian to write this imperial edict."
Emperor Chongzhen's hands were trembling at this time. He could not hear Lin Fan saying that it was written by Xue Bingtian. Two lines of clear tears flowed from his face.
"Fan'er! You! Are you kidding?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked excitedly.
The land of Yunnan was lost twice in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The first time it was lost was taken back by Emperor Yongle, and the second time it was lost here.
Emperor Chongzhen had always wanted to take back Yunnan, but he had insufficient troops and insufficient food and grass. Finally, Li Zicheng appeared and the slaves made a fuss.
Later, Lin Fan expelled the sword slaves and killed the intruders. Chongzhen kept thinking about mentioning Yunnan to Lin Fan. However, considering that the national power of the Ming Dynasty had not yet recovered, he did not want to cause too much trouble, so he did not say anything.
this matter.
"Father, this is absolutely true. The land of Yunnan must be taken back, and the land of Annan must be paid for!"
"We, the Ming Dynasty, will not give up an inch of our territory. Anyone who dares to invade will have to pay the price!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Okay! Fan'er! I have approved this imperial edict. Wang Cheng'en, you should go and write out the imperial edict now, and then send someone to Annan!"
Emperor Chongzhen said excitedly.
When Wang Chengen saw Emperor Chongzhen being so excited, he knew it was a good thing and hurriedly went to prepare the imperial edict. Emperor Chongzhen pulled Lin Fan and sat down.
Emperor Chongzhen felt more and more indebted to his son. Lin Fan said, "Father, I estimate that after Annan receives the imperial edict, he will definitely send envoys to the capital of the Ming Dynasty!"
"When the time comes, I want my third brother to receive these envoys!"
"kindness?
Let Jiong'er go?
Although he is not very old, he is still in charge of the Imperial Guard, and this is just a good opportunity for him to try out!"
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Father, this is exactly what I mean. Also, after I go to Annan, my third brother will be asked to help my father watch over this capital. He should also understand the importance of this."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Okay! Let's handle this matter according to your request!"
Emperor Chongzhen agreed again.
Three days later, the imperial edict was rushed eight hundred miles to Annan. When the emperor of Annan saw the edict, he was so angry that he tore it to pieces on the spot!
"Haha! The Ming Dynasty is really arrogant and dares to ask our Annan Kingdom to compensate them three trillion taels of silver. This is just a fool's dream!"
"No! Even the land of Yunnan is impossible for me to return!"
Emperor Annan, Moore Hong said angrily.
Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the ministers of Annan State persuaded one after another: "Your Majesty! This matter is not a trivial matter. We, Annan State, must pay attention to it. How about sending Shi Chen to the Ming Dynasty to ask for peace?"
