There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 497

At the same time, Emperor Xianzong issued a decree to change the treatment of the clan, and entrusted the vassal kings with no heirs as the main state.

After this imperial decree, the vassal kings everywhere were a little confused.

Ever since Emperor Chengzu "Jing Nan", the central royal family of Ming Dynasty has controlled the vassals in various places. They are both the sons of Emperor Taizu, so they will definitely not rebel against their father.

But later, when it was Emperor Jianwen's turn to be in power, it was different....

The vassal kings are all in the fief, and they can go to the suburbs at most. Three hundred miles away from the city is the limit, and it will not work any farther away.

It's a good thing now, not only to the throne, but also to a vassal state!

What is Emperor Xianzong doing here?

The throne of the Ming Dynasty was handed down to Emperor Xianzong, and it was already the sixth generation of emperors. If posthumous titles were counted, it would be at least ten generations away.

Even if they are direct blood relatives, they are still out of five clothes.

Moreover, because the emperors of the first two generations were brothers, and with the change of the civil castle, too many messy things happened, so the heirs of the emperors of the first two generations were few, and few became kings.

And Emperor Xianzong, the first vassal king who entrusted a vassal state, was his own younger brother, King Jian, oh, now he is called King Champa.

The clansmen were also surprised.

Concubine Zhou Jing, on the other hand, explained it to others. After all, Taizu had fifteen kingdoms that he would not conquest, but the royal family had no descendants. It was not a problem that Da Ming helped manage it for a few years. Why not move a royal relative to succeed him The position of king.

In fact, on the other side, the Ministry of War has issued an order to recruit more than 10 troops to take up the post with King Champa.

This is the greatest concern that Emperor Xianzong gave to his younger brother. The 10 soldiers accompanied him, and these [-] people all settled down in Champa with King Champa.

It can be said that it has passed, and in my lifetime, I don't know if I can come back!

Therefore, these recruited soldiers are mainly orphans, or those who have nothing to worry about are given priority.

In Xinglin Medical College, there are also more than 100 doctors who have completed their studies. They are all qualified doctors. In addition, Wu Youwei vigorously equipped a lot of medicinal materials. Among the more than 100 students, one-third Both are orphans.

Among them are 40 medical women, who are best at delivering babies, followed by gynecological diseases.

There is no family planning these days, and children are born one after another. Some families throw them away when they cannot afford to support them, especially girls.

Wu Youwei adopted many gifted children in the Yangshengtang and taught them skills.

Because they don't know the origin, they can't get into the imperial examination, but they can learn other things?

Medicine, water conservancy, astronomy, geography...chemistry, physics... Wu Youwei has taught everything he can teach. After so many years, he has achieved outstanding results, and even his students have stayed as teachers Yes, teach the next generation.

Quite a few of Wu Youwei's students became officials through the imperial examination, but even more were in the field.

He may not feel it himself, but Wantong knows that the people he educated are already elites in various industries.

Every year, a gift is given to his mentor, which is not expensive but very considerate.

For example, someone gave dried mushrooms, because Wu Youwei likes to eat mushrooms; someone gave local dry goods, mountain delicacies, etc., which may not be worth much in the eyes of others, but he knows that Wu Youwei likes them s things.

King Zhancheng was about to take office, and when the court was ready, he issued a transfer order, and Wu Youwei's Xinglin Medical College sent away a group of medical elites.

News came from the south that Zhang Sheng's term of office had expired and he was transferred to Beijing; Cui Tieniu took Zhang Sheng's position directly because of the good management of Shanghai County and became the prefect of Songjiang, while Yang Yiqing was transferred to the Firearms Bureau as the first I am the director.

Because firearms are getting sharper and sharper, many people are staring at firearms.

Yang Yiqing did a good job in Qingpu County. He was more proficient in management than Wu Youwei, so he was selected by Emperor Xianzong and transferred to the Firearms Bureau.

Liu Xuan's term of office has also come to an end, and he is retiring to live in Shanghai County.

Became neighbors with the other two elders.

Because of this, Songjiang Mansion is very special in Jiangnan, because many elders and ministers spend their old age there, and the emperor pays close attention to it.

So no one dares to embarrass the place, let alone ask for bribes, even though the place is very rich.

There was another news from the south that almost all the royal families in Japan have issued five suits. They can no longer be regarded as the royal family, but they must be regarded as the clan.

Because the Japanese royal family is too poor.

So poor that even the funeral of King Houbaiyuan was not held because there is no money!

Houtu Yumen was able to be buried at the beginning because Wang Zhi and Zhang Lun saw Houbaiyuan King pitiful and lent him a lot of money to hold the funeral. Now Houbaiyuan King has no son, how to borrow money?Who pays?

In addition, whoever wants to inherit the throne has to inherit the debts of King Houbaiyuan, who is willing?

Now who has the final say in Japan, can't you tell that if you become the king of Japan, you may "die without a problem".

So people are not stupid or inappropriate, but they jointly wrote a letter and prayed to the suzerain country to resolve the matter.

Later, Emperor Xianzong "reluctantly" made his second prince the king of Japan, because the second prince was not yet married, so he went to Japan and allowed his mother Concubine Ji Shu to follow.

And send five hundred eunuchs and one hundred court ladies to accompany them.

And because the second prince is gentle and elegant, Wang Zhi and Zhang Lun are allowed to help the second prince stabilize the situation before returning to the court.

The ministers were suddenly in an uproar.

Japan is much bigger than Champa!

This one was given to my younger brother and the other to my son. What does the emperor want to do?

Whatever the emperor wanted to do, he had done it.

The second prince has enjoyed unprecedented attention these days.

"Sir, why did my father... choose me to go to Japan? It's so far away...?" The second prince was very frustrated. He felt that he was not valued by his father since he was a child. Huang didn't even want to look at him?Send him to the ends of the earth?I will never be able to return to my country in this life.

"How could it be?" Wu Youwei said enthusiastically, "Your Highness, this is a good thing. If it weren't for your prince's elder brother not being able to leave Beijing, I'm afraid your father and emperor would have wanted to give Japan to him, but your prince's elder brother said that you are kind by nature." , it is more suitable there, so I recommend you instead of the third prince."

Several princes were of similar ages, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had grown up now, so Emperor Xianzong had to think about his other sons.

If there is such a good thing, of course the sons are given priority.

His Royal Highness the Prince recommended the Second Prince to Emperor Xianzong.

Because the second prince has a good personality and is easy-going, Daming has now firmly controlled Japan. Under the high-pressure policy of Wang Zhi and Zhang Lun, there is no one who can resist, and they cannot resist.

There are also some second and third sons of the family along the coast who went there to make money, because Japan has a lot of waste to do.

And there are more women than men....

The men were almost all beaten.

Just along the coast there are more men than women....

Only after the comparison can we know how to cherish. After the two live the king of Hades, a gentle monarch will be very reassuring. In addition, almost all the people who are sent to Japan are capable ministers and officials. They still have seniority here. But when you get there, you are directly a high-ranking official.

Of course, they need to quit the Ming nationality and change to the nationality of the Japanese dependent country.

Similarly, almost all the second and third sons can go.

"Really?" The second prince was very puzzled: "But it's so far away...."

"Why is it far away? When I was in Shanghai County, I would go there twice a year. Those who were very close could even see each other." Wu Youwei said, "It's not as far as you think, it's just a block away. It's just the sea, think about it, if it's too far away, how could the emperor allow Concubine Ji Shu to go with you?"

In fact, Wu Youwei didn't know why, Emperor Xianzong asked Concubine Ji Shu to follow.

What I can't understand is also Wan Zhen'er. She went to Yude Palace, thinking that Concubine Ji Shu would be very depressed, but who knew Concubine Ji Shu was actually very happy: "The emperor let the second prince go because he valued him, but he hasn't married yet. , the concubine is also worried, and it will be different if he goes there. There is also a palace there, and the concubine can help him with the affairs of the harem. . . ”

Concubine Ji Shu didn't mean to be unhappy at all, instead she started to pack things with great interest.

"You...why do you think so?" Wan Zhen'er was puzzled.

"Sister, to tell you the truth, in the eyes of the emperor, except for you, everything else is new for a while, and I am no exception. Rather than staying in the palace until I die of old age, it is better to go outside with my son early." Ji Yanran Smiling very calmly: "Since ten years ago, the emperor has never favored me..."

In this palace, what is the difference with being a widow?

Instead of living like this, why not go overseas with your son, where is his territory, and she is the Queen Mother!

"It's fine if you think about it." Wan Zhen'er knew the sufferings of the women in the harem, so she took care of them as much as she could, so as not to make their lives too sad.

It's just that no matter how good the material enjoyment of life is, it can't make up for the regrets in the soul.

The emperor was doomed to not be able to give them any attention, no matter how virtuous Wan Zhener was, she didn't want to let go after being favored alone for so many years.

So she tried her best to compensate them with material things.

This also convinced the women in the harem, because Wan Zhen'er is really suitable to be an imperial concubine.

When the queen and queen were in charge of the harem, their lives were not so easy.

She has to get up early every day to say goodbye, and she will be reprimanded at every turn. For this person, Queen Wang, she was imprisoned and there were not many people who would sincerely intercede for her.

In other words, the Wang family still wanted to be the princess, but they were rejected by Wantong early on.

Had it not been for the Wang family's tricks, Princess Fengyang would have been born prematurely?

Now the princess is much better, because Wan Zhen'er gives priority to Qingning Palace and Kunning Palace for some dishes sent by Huangzhuang.

Qingning Palace is because of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

The Kunning Palace did not suffer from the fact that the queen and queen were grounded, because the imperial concubine Wan Huang was in charge of the harem.

Because of this, the Empress Dowager Zhou became more and more satisfied with Wan Zhen'er.

The second prince was going south in February of the new year, and he arrived in Shanghai just in time to go to sea.

So now start preparing for the palace move.

At the same time, Wu Mingde passed the Juren examination.

"Not bad, not bad!" Wu Youwei was overjoyed: "In the future, if you pass the Jinshi examination, you will be able to become an official."

Wu Mingde has grown up, looking at his father with a very handsome smile: "Yeah!"

Perhaps because he was raised by Wu Youwei since he was a child, he doesn't look like his biological father Wu Jun, but more like the old Mr. Wu who has passed away for many years.

Wu Youwei is the biological father of this body.

The ancestral hall was opened to worship the ancestors, and the good news was told to the deceased, and some people sent congratulatory gifts.

The Wu family was used to keeping a low profile, so they didn't hold a banquet to celebrate. Wu Mingde went to school to study again, because he still had to take the exam.

At the moment, the Wu family is not ostentatious.

Wuzi in November, according to historical records, on this day, Emperor Xianzong will "take one-third of the silver from Taicang and put it into the inner treasury", but now it is the opposite, Emperor Xianzong took "one-third of the silver from the inner treasury" "It was put in the treasury, because there was a lot of money in the treasury, and Emperor Xianzong wanted to separate his brothers and sons. This required the Ministry of Households to prepare money for the princes who went to the vassal state to move.

Fortunately, after so many years, the entire territory of Ming Dynasty, the lowest being the county town, is paved with concrete avenues, frequent vehicles, and the existence of the postal system, the smooth flow of logistics, so that the goods in the world flow, and the people are also rich.

Even the emperor was generous, and Emperor Xianzong's move was unanimously appreciated by the court.

When His Royal Highness heard about it, he raised 3 taels of silver from the money bank of Ciqing Palace, 1 taels were donated to the treasury of the Ministry of Households, 1 taels were sent to his uncle, King Champa, and the other 1 taels Wan Liang was given to his own younger brother, the Second Prince, the future King of Japan.

All the ministers praised again, like a father, like a son, the father is a generous emperor, and the prince is not bad.

Emperor Xianzong implemented a benevolent government again. He used the money in the internal treasury to set up the bonuses for officials. The salaries of officials were set by Emperor Taizu. What was given was vain money, not food.

Moreover, the money was given blatantly, and the officials didn't take it hot. In addition, it was regarded as the emperor's reward, and no one dared to withhold it. Officials have 100 taels.

The lowest soldier in the army also has an imperial reward of five taels of silver, and the highest is 5000 taels, which are given to the cabinet veterans and the generals who lead the army.

Fortunately, after so many years, Emperor Xianzong has accumulated a huge family fortune, and he has received a lot of business and spoils of war, so that the current Emperor Xianzong spends a lot of money to buy people's hearts, and he is not afraid that he will have no money.

Everything is developing in a good direction. That year, Annan, Siam, Manga, Uzang and other [-] dependent countries and tribes paid tribute.

However, bad news came from the south, Annan Lihao invaded the Laotian Propaganda Department!

After Annan settled down for a few years, he didn't dare to think about Champa again, especially after hearing that Champa had been made a vassal state by the prince of the Zhu Dynasty and the younger brother of the Ming Emperor, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Emperor Xianzong gave Champa [-] soldiers and horses.

Including some of the original soldiers and horses in Champa, there are a total of 20, and they can rule the roost in the south.

Moreover, King Zhancheng is not a good idiot. If he didn't have some scheming, how could he let people keep him in Beijing for many years when his brother had no heirs?

So Annan didn't dare to reach out to Zhancheng. After so many years of silence, seeing that Daming didn't do anything to them, Annan became a little self-righteous, and set his sights on old M.

In October of the 15th year of Chenghua, after the navy of the Ming Dynasty returned to the shore, Li Shengzong of the Annan Houli Dynasty launched a war to invade Nanzhang.

Annan's army captured Luang Prabang in one fell swoop, and Chagapa, the king of Nanzhang, fled to Nanfu.

According to the historical records of Vietnam, "the treasures were obtained in the city of Laos, the king escaped, and the people were taken prisoner, and the territory reached the boundary of the Changsha River (or Jinsha River), south of the country of Jiadai (or the country of Myanmar)." Annan's army went all the way to the west, intending to attack Lanner, but ended in failure.The present Laos was in the period of the Lancang Kingdom.

Nanzhang Dynasty, a translation of Lancang and Lancang, Chinese translations of articles by Western scholars are often translated as "Lancang Kingdom", a kingdom established by Faang in 1353, and the first unified dynasty in Laos history.

The ancient Yueshang family, later called Nanzhang.

It was established in Luang Prabang in 857.Originally belonged to Chenla.

During the reign of King Fan Gan (1353...1383), small countries such as Vientiane and Champasak were merged to establish a unified country called Lancang Kingdom.

The territory starts from the border of Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam, along the Mekong River to the northern border of Cambodia today, borders Chiang Mai and Siam in the west, and borders Vietnam and Champa in the east.

After the founding of Le Loi in Vietnam in 1428, Nanzhang was once under its control.

Later, the Lancang Kingdom became self-reliant, and the Vietnamese Le clan was suppressed by the suzerain of Ming Dynasty. Since then, the Lancang Kingdom has become stronger and dared to fight against the Vietnamese Li clan.

However, because the Lancang Kingdom did not come to Daming to pay tribute, Chenla was replaced by them, so Ming's control over overseas is still not comprehensive.

However, in the Fifteen Unconquered Kingdoms, including the Chenla Kingdom, Chenla was replaced by Lancang, and the Annan Li family had an excuse, if you don’t beat you, who will you beat?

Historically, Chagapa's son, Suvarnapanlang, proclaimed himself king, recaptured Luang Prabang, and expelled the Annan people.

That's because Annan fought Champa to the death first, and now Champa belongs to Daming. Annan has been recharging his energy for many years, and he dare not bark his teeth at Daming, but he will be sorry for himself if he doesn't bite down a piece of fat Dormant for so many years.

So, a bit different from the history, Annan destroyed the Kingdom of Lancang!

They didn't let Suwana Banlang escape, they went to Nan Mansion, directly destroyed Lancang, and occupied the old lady.

But Daming has territory in Laos, okay?

What does Xuanwei Division do?

Xuanweisi is a military-oriented supervisory agency between the province and the state, generally in charge of military and civilian affairs.

Usually it is a local agency.

The head of the Xuanwei Department is called the "Xuanwei Envoy" and is the highest military and political officer responsible for a link between the past and the future.

The institution of Xuanweisi was first seen in the Jin Dynasty, and it was generally established throughout the country in the Yuan Dynasty.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were only established in areas where ethnic minorities lived in compact communities, and the number of Xuanwei Divisions was smaller than that of the previous dynasties.

Kublai Khan, Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, divided each Xingzhongshu province into sixty Xuanweisi, and each Xuanweisi has about 180 roads (states) under its jurisdiction.

The Department of Xuanwei plays the role of issuing from the top. According to the records of the Yuan Dynasty: "The Department of Xuanwei is in charge of the affairs of the army and the people. It is divided into the county and county. If the province has a government order, it will be issued to the lower level. If the county and county invite it, it will be sent to the province. "

The Xuanwei Department has three Xuanwei envoys (from the second rank), one member of the Xuanwei Department's Tongzhi (from the third rank), one deputy envoy (from the fourth rank), and officials such as experience and capital affairs.

For example, Bozhou Xuanweisi, Bozhou is not only a place name, but also a first-level administrative division. Xuanweisi is the highest official in the Bozhou region, and Xuanweishi is the highest military and political officer in the Bozhou region.To put it bluntly, this Xuanweisi is similar to the embassy of the Ming Dynasty in a subordinate country, and the Xuanweisi has a garrison, not many people, about 1000 people, responsible for protecting the Xuanweisi.

But we don't care if you, Annan, attack Lancang, but if you harass my Daming Xuanweisi, that's a problem!
