Of course, Yunxi also returned to the harem to continue celebrating the New Year. It was finally possible to have a relaxing day all year round, and Yunxi didn't want to waste it all on work.?? And as the saying goes, rest is for better work!
However, after all the ministers left, Yunxi remembered that he had not yet given the imperial edict to Zhu Mo, and originally planned to ask Wang Xi to write the edict and send it to the General Affairs Department - Wang Xi could also read and write now, and his handwriting was quite good. .
However, Yunxi thought about it and estimated that it would take some time before it was actually issued. He decided to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before formally issuing the imperial edict. It would be better to inform him first. So Yunxi ordered the young eunuch to go to Prince Shen's Mansion to deliver the edict: "Set Shen Wang Zhumo went to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor this afternoon.'
Then Yunxi got up and walked to the harem. Yunxi thought for a while and decided to go to Chengqian Palace first, so he asked Wang Xi to take him to Chengqian Palace.
Halfway through, Yunxi saw that Wang Xi seemed to be muttering something and asked, "Wang Xi, what are you talking about?"
Wang Xi was startled, then turned around and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I am just thinking that the kings of the previous Qin vassal state, Min vassal state, and Ying vassal state, and the left and right kings and ministers were all driven by your majesty. Why? This time we are discussing with the ministers."
Yunxi did not realize that Wang Xi was suspected of interfering in politics, but explained to him as he walked: "This is the first, of course, because I am also hesitant and cannot decide on the candidate, especially the left and right king."
"This is a trustworthy and outstanding talent. The people I have now can't even fill the court, let alone be sent to the feudal country to serve as the king. But if they are not talented enough or loyal enough, they will not be able to serve." The role of containing the monarch of the vassal state."
"The first few candidates have already picked out the suitable candidates in my heart. There are no other candidates for the time being, so I can only let the ministers recommend them."
Then he said with emotion: "It seems that we have to wait a few more years before enfeoffment can be carried out again. This year and next year, I will order the "Wild Talents" to be held in various places. Coupled with the imperial examination in the second year of Jianye, there will be almost excellent civil servants. , it will be enough to raise it for a few more years.”
"The military commander will wait until the students in these martial arts halls are older in a few years and have made some achievements after practicing for a few years. Then it will be easier to handle."
"The second reason is because of the special position of the Kingdom of Srivijaya. The Kingdom of Srivijaya is located on an overseas island far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the kings and ministers on the left and right do not listen to me, but only listen to the words of the kings of the vassal states, it will not affect the Ming Dynasty. 's native land."
"If they want to threaten the homeland, they can only form a large navy. But a large navy is definitely not something that a small country can establish. Even if it is barely established, it cannot afford it." Historically, the Soviet Navy quickly disappeared after the collapse of the Soviet Union. , which is direct evidence.
"The first three enfeoffed vassal states are different. If they cause chaos, it may affect the Ming Dynasty itself, so we must be more cautious."
After hearing Yunxi's explanation, Wang Xi suddenly realized and said, "So that's it."
Yunxi smiled and said: "Why do you care about this? Just lead your way."
At the beginning of the afternoon, Yunxi was talking to Baoqin. Recently, there has been a lot of news about the Three Buddhas coming to ask for help, and even ordinary people know about it. This morning is another day when the mothers of the concubines in the palace can come to the palace to visit, so Baoqin Qin's mother casually told Bao Qin about this matter.
Baoqin's mother may have been speaking unintentionally, but when Baoqin listened, it meant that the listener was attentive. When Baoqin saw her mother return in the morning, she had been thinking about something.
Baoqin's father had fought with Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao, so she didn't know what war was like. She usually paid attention to this kind of news, and now she is a naval officer and soldier who is responsible for clearing pirates at sea.
The losses of officers and soldiers of the 6th Division were much smaller than those of the 6th Division who defended against pirates on the 6th, especially those on big ships. Unless they were particularly unlucky, few would die in battle.
And she knew that Yunxi attached great importance to overseas places for some reason, so she wanted her father and eldest brother to join the navy. Although it may be more difficult to make meritorious service in the navy, it is less dangerous, and their family is not a wealthy family.
She can bring a group of soldiers to protect her during the war, but what if she is killed in battle on the road? Although she has been manipulating her father and brothers according to her own ideas, she also has a very good relationship with her father and brothers.
As a result, while the formalities were being completed, news came here that a war was about to begin. Baoqin knew Yi Yunxi’s temperament, so he would definitely send out troops in February at the latest. It is estimated that the formalities for his father and brother had not been completed at that time.
It’s over.
So she begged Yunxi to let the people below move faster, and it was best to transfer them to the largest ship of the Navy that was going out to fight.
Of course Yunxi rejected her directly. Yunxi said: "Baoqin, your father and brother were in the 6th Division before and have never fought on the water. How can you go out to fight without being trained as soon as you come up?"
"Although there are many people on the big ship, everyone has a duty and cannot be replaced casually. How can you place people casually?"
"Your father and brother are not meritorious generals. They can accompany the general's adjutants. This matter must not be mentioned again."
However, Yunxi immediately thought of Xiyao's father and brother. Xiyao's father, Xue Ning, was the governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, and he could be regarded as helping him control the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, and the 6th battle was different from the water battle, Xue Ning
Ning's level doesn't allow him to be a deputy general, so that's all he can do.
But Xiyao's eldest brother Xue Xiran is different. He is a part-time commander of Qianshi Jiaqianhu, and his official position is only to command Qianshi. He can be sent to Zhang Xiaodong's ship as an adjutant, and give him a staff general or a guerrilla general.
Nanyang accumulates experience.
Just when Yunxi was thinking about it, the young eunuch came in and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Shen has arrived at Qianqing Palace and is waiting for your Majesty's reception."
Yunxi said: "Uncle Twenty-one is here?" Then he changed his clothes and went to Qianqing Palace. He held the piano and served him until he left Chengqian Palace.
Zhu Mo was having dinner with his wives and concubines at noon. He was two years younger than Yunxi, the same age as Gao Xu, and already had a child. At this time, he was playing with his child, and the eunuch who was serving suddenly informed him that there was a palace in the palace.
The eunuch here came to deliver the order.
Of course, Zhu Mo immediately let the messenger in. After the young eunuch came in, he said: "His Royal Highness, King Shen, His Majesty has sent you a message to come to the palace to meet His Majesty in the afternoon." Then he left.
This made Zhu Mo anxious and not in the mood to eat. He took a few bites in a hurry and then ordered the table to be removed and went back to the house to think about it by himself.
Of course, his first thought was about establishing a vassal state. But he didn't know the latest progress of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom's request for help, and he didn't know that Shi Jinqing, the envoy of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, had already said that he was willing to accept it, so he didn't expect Yunxi's plan.
I was thinking wildly in bed about the matter of sending him to Srivijaya. I would guess here and there.
Later, he guessed that it was not to make him a feudal king, but to ask him to have other things. But he couldn't think of any other things that would come to him.
Not long after noon, Zhu Mo got up and went out of the palace. As a prince, he could enter the harem directly without Yunxi's permission, so he entered the Qianqing Palace directly, and the young eunuch on duty at the Qianqing Palace also hurriedly Report to Yunxi.
When Yunxi came to the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Mo was still sitting on a chair thinking wildly, until he heard the eunuch's announcement and stood up quickly and said: "I have met Your Majesty."
Yunxi came over and helped him up and said, "You and I are uncles and nephews, so why should we be so polite?" Then he sat down one after another.
Yunxi started by chatting a few words casually, and then asked with a smile: "Uncle Twenty-one, you have probably guessed what I want to ask Uncle Twenty-one for."
Zhu Mo said: "I guess His Majesty wants to make me the king of the country, but I don't know where it will be."
Yunxi smiled and said: "Uncle Twenty-one guessed it right. He is indeed the king of the feudal state and the state of Three Buddhas."
Zhu Mo said in surprise: "Three Buddhas will unite the country!"
Yunxi repeated it and said: "Yes, it is the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom."
Zhu Mo really didn't think about it and said: "The king of the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom is willing to give up his throne or join in?"
Yunxi said: "Uncle Twenty-one guessed correctly again, that is, he is willing to be attached."
Zhu Mo then began to think deeply. According to the Chinese people's point of view at this time, going to such a far place was equivalent to exile. Of course, Zhu Mo was going to be a king, so it was not an exile, but Zhu Mo was not that very ambitious. Of course, a man with great ambitions would not want to be left to eat and die in the capital, so Zhu Mo himself was very conflicted and didn't know whether to be happy or not.
Yunxi also knew that because China had never conquered the Nanyang region in history, but had controlled the northeast, northwest, and western Yunnan and Myanmar for a long time, most officials were afraid of the Nanyang region, and even felt that being an official on Hainan Island was an exile. It is better to go to Guangxi to serve as an official. People in the Central Plains, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huguang also feel that Nanyang is too remote. On the contrary, they feel that it is closer to the northwest than Nanyang, where transportation is more inconvenient.
But Yunxi cannot allow the prince of the royal family to have such an idea. If he doesn't want to be a king, is he willing to stay in the capital for the rest of his life and wait for death? That's fine. Yunxi also allows it, but such a prince must be careful about the day when Yunxi is unhappy. He sent him to Fengyang, the capital, and then had his title reduced because he was no longer happy.
Fortunately, Zhu Mo did not let this situation happen. Although Zhu Mo was a little indolent, he also had an enterprising heart. After thinking about it, he said: "Then your Majesty, please tell me what I should do as the king of Sri Lanka."
Yunxi smiled and said: "Actually, I don't have anything to teach you. I just came here to tell Uncle Twenty-one about this matter so that Uncle Twenty-one can be mentally prepared."
"The Nanyang region is very different from the Central Plains. The news brought back by envoys is often only half-scale and not comprehensive. I dare not say anything casually."
"I just have a few things to tell you. The first is religion."
"Religion!" Zhu Mo said in surprise. He had no idea that what Yunxi brought up first was religion.
