Chapter 498 Chenghua 8 Years
Especially when it happened during the Chinese New Year.
The subordinate country came to the court, but Annan actually did such a thing, and he was ashamed to come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, as if nothing had happened.
If it wasn't for the severe winter, many refugees suddenly appeared on the sea. They didn't know that a small country in the south would be wiped out in just two months.
People from Honglu Temple went to ask Annan's envoy, but Annan's envoy also looked confused. They set off in August!
Daming, who arrived with the Daming Navy, traded some things at the seaside port and stored them in the leased warehouse there. Then the light vehicle Jiancong continued on the road with tributes, because they were natives in the south, and the north was too cold. After they arrived in the north, they basically Without leaving home, I waited for the New Year's meeting, offered gifts, and then returned to the country.
In recent years, Emperor Xianzong has searched more and more for his vassal states. To be honest, the things he gave were really worthless.
But in the eyes of the subordinate countries, they are all treasures!
So, they really don't know what stupid thing their king did to anger Daming!
The envoy had something to say, but he kept complaining, but there was no other way.
But Emperor Xianzong would not give him face.
In the spring of the 18th year, at Renwu on the first month, a great sacrifice to heaven and earth was held in the southern suburbs.
In the past few years, the queen and queen have not shown up. Emperor Xianzong came by himself to sacrifice, but this year, he brought the concubine Wanhuang with him.
Concubine Wanhuang is the deputy empress, and when offering sacrifices, her position is a step back from that of the queen.
Some clans were dissatisfied, but Zhou Jing's son-in-law said: "The imperial concubine Wan Huang is the biological mother of the crown prince. In the future... she will also be the empress, the empress dowager, not to mention that she is still one step away from the empress. Identity is also worthy."
Everyone was silent for a while, yes, the position of the Eastern Palace is as solid as gold.
"Besides, in two years' time, the one from the Eastern Palace will marry the concubine Yuan." Zhou Jing concubine said, "Once you marry a wife, it will be a matter of time before you have a son. In my Ming royal family, there have been several emperors who haven't seen the emperor's grandson." gone?"
Everyone was even more silent, yes, it seems that since Emperor Renzong, he has not seen the emperor's grandson.
After Renzong came Xuanzong, who came to the throne as a young man, but died young; after Xuanzong came Yingzong, who came to the throne when he was a child, and as a result, there was a "civil castle change"; Emperor Yingzong's "Nangong Restoration"; as a result, Emperor Yingzong did not see the emperor's grandson, so Long Yu died.
Up to the current Emperor Xianzong, after doing the math, there are five emperors in four generations, and he has not seen the grandson of the third generation.
Seeing that the emperor is alive and kicking, and the crown prince is healthy, they are very hopeful, seeing how the three generations of the royal family live together.
Therefore, Emperor Xianzong brought the imperial concubine to sacrifice, and no one raised any objections.
Queen Wang found out about this in Kunning Palace, she held Princess Fengyang and cried for a while. Princess Fengyang has grown up and knows something, so she said angrily: "It's really deceiving, that old Wan Zhen'er woman......."
"Shut up!" Queen Wang covered Princess Fengyang's mouth: "How can you say that?"
"Mother, you are the queen!" Princess Fengyang said angrily with red eyes: "Why do you bring a royal concubine with you during the sacrifice? Does the father want everyone in the world to say that he spoils his concubine and kills his wife?" ?”
"Who told you this?" Queen Wang sternly said, "It's the empress mother who made a mistake, and it's none of the affairs of the Wanhuang noble concubine. , instead of decree to abolish it, you should be grateful!"
"Mother..." Princess Fengyang turned pale from fright.
"Say, who told you these things?" Queen Wang asked her sharply: "This palace has never told you these things, who is it?"
Princess Fengyang was frightened: "It's the nanny...say...say...."
"Come here!" Queen Wang called for someone to come in: "Send all of Princess Fengyang's nanny to this palace!"
Princess Fengyang has four nannies, eight daughters in the big palace, 36 daughters in the small palace, one old eunuch, four big eunuchs and 68 young eunuchs.
This old eunuch is in charge of the eunuchs under him, and the princess is surrounded by nurses, so the nurses are more favored by the princess than the eunuchs.
"Mother..." Princess Fengyang didn't want her mother to dispose of her nanny.
"Shut up!" Queen Wang said: "They are uneasy and kind, and they are encouraging you to sue this palace? Or are they encouraging you to have trouble with the Wanhuang noble concubine? You must know that the queen mother was punished by your father and thought about it in the Kunning Palace. But Concubine Wanhuang has a lot of things like our mother and daughter, so you should be content. Do you think your father is a soft-hearted person? Don’t you know that there is also a deposed empress Wu in the harem? To him, the abolished empress is It's not a big deal! What's the benefit of you making such a fuss? You're not too young, you're going to leave the palace sooner or later, let's see how the first three princesses choose a concubine? You offended the imperial concubine, Wan Zhongming Will I find you a good son-in-law? When the time comes, I will find you a man who is as rich as gold and jade, and who is as humble as the other, and you have no place to cry!"
Princess Fengyang burst into tears: "That can't... can't...."
"What can't be done?" Queen Wang taught her daughter: "Your grandfather's family also knows that they can't help you with anything. They were whimsical in the early years, but now the queen mother has figured it out. Everything is false. Only you are the queen mother's concern. Your father...is disappointed with the queen mother, but he has not treated you, you are his princess."
Princess Fengyang was scolded bloody, and when she returned, she found that the people around her... had changed!
Queen Wang is naturally the biggest in her own palace, even if she is out of Kunning Palace, she is the queen after all.
All the people around her daughter were sent to the violent room for interrogation, and then quickly equipped her with new recruits, all of whom were personally selected by the queen.
Naturally, Princess Fengyang must correct her point of view.
Even with the acquiescence of Queen Wang, he went to Lenggong to take a peek at Empress Wu Fei.
Empress Wu Fei's life now is like a pool of stagnant water, she stays in Sifangtian every day, eating four dishes and one soup, which four dishes?
Stewed vermicelli with cabbage, stewed potatoes with radish, fried vegetables, shredded pickles mixed with sesame oil, steamed buns and flower rolls are a meal, and the soup is the most common spinach and egg soup.
This kind of food, the daughters of Dagong beside Princess Fengyang eat better than her.
They wear the most common plain clothes, and Wu Feihou needs to cut and sew the clothes by himself. There are only two white-headed old maids in her service, who are responsible for cleaning and washing.
After watching Wu Fei, Princess Fengyang was silent, and learned the rules from the new close-knit maid, with great care.
The movements in the harem cannot be concealed from anyone, even if the Queen is acting in her own Kunning Palace, Emperor Xianzong still knows about it.
"She has figured it out." Emperor Xianzong read the secret report and fell silent.
"My lord." Eunuch Huai En persuaded: "How long has this empress been confined? You have taken the imperial concubine with you this year... People in the court don't say anything, and you will be muttering in your heart when you go!"
"I know." Emperor Xianzong dropped the secret report and leaned back: "But let her out, if you can't figure it out again, I don't have that patience."
He is becoming more and more powerful, and he hates people who go against his own consciousness.
"It won't happen in the future, I have learned my lesson." Eunuch Wynn said: "Besides, Princess Fengyang is getting bigger and bigger, and she will go out of the palace in the future..."
Emperor Xianzong looked at Eunuch Huai'en and said with a smile: "Usually you don't say these things, and what you practice is confinement. Now you say so much? Who taught you?"
"The emperor is wise!" Eunuch Huai En smiled: "Who else can there be? The imperial concubine. It may be the matter of the great sacrifice, which made her feel that she is not very strong. In addition, the empress has been grounded for too long. I couldn't bear it, so I begged for mercy."
In fact, because Wan Zhen'er felt that since the queen and queen existed, they should come out. There are three princesses who are married.
And the "fourth princess" died young, and the next step is the fifth princess.
Queen Wang can't always keep her head down!
What's more, after the princess left the palace and descended, it was time for the princes.
The first to bear the brunt is the crown prince of the East Palace.
At that time, if there is no queen to come forward, it will really be unreasonable.
"She thinks of me all the time... Emperor M Xianzong knows that Wan Zhen'er is thinking of him.
At the Spring Festival meeting, Emperor Xianzong put on a face for Annan, not to mention the location was farther away from the emperor, and even the tribute presented, Emperor Xianzong did not show a smile on his face.
This made Annan's envoys beating their hearts!
All the envoys of the subordinate countries have bright eyes, especially the south is not peaceful.
After the tribute was finished, the envoys of the subordinate countries began to complain: because of the relationship with Japan in the south, Japanese pirates are going to flood!
Wu Youwei asked Wantong who was with him in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Wantong told him in a low voice: "Wang Zhi and Zhang Lun expelled those defeated generals, such as those big names and small names, from Japan. Ryukyu and other countries have been harassed, especially those people are extremely vicious, and some small countries have suffered unspeakably...if any royal family is destroyed..."
Wu Youwei's eyes are bright, once the royal family is gone, naturally... Daming will take over!
This trick is called "killing with a borrowed knife"!
In February, on the second day, the dragon raised its head.
Pork head meat sold out.
But Wu Youwei only likes to eat lean meat, and their fat meat belongs to Wantong.
At the same time, Emperor Xianzong lifted the confinement of the Queen. During the ceremony, everyone saw the Queen who had not seen for many years.
She has aged a lot, standing with Concubine Wanhuang, she is actually a little older than Concubine Wanhuang.
When Empress Wang paid her respects, the Queen Mother sighed: "Since you are out, let's be good."
"My son knows." Queen Wang lowered her head and looked down.
After the Queen came out, Wan Zhen'er handed over the Phoenix Seal, and the account books in the palace.
"You managed it very well." Queen Wang was not in a hurry to pick it up, and asked someone to serve tea and snacks to Wan Zhen'er, and chatted with her.
Wan Zhen'er also tried her best to tell her about the affairs in the palace, so that she could understand the situation in the palace as soon as possible.
After February [-], the year is all over.
As soon as the first month comes out, there will be a big event.
Geng Yin, the second prince took his mother and concubine out of the palace and went to Japan to take up his post.
Emperor Xianzong saw him off in person.
When saying goodbye, Emperor Xianzong touched the second prince: "After you go, be the lord of the country well, it will be yours from now on, and it will be passed on to your sons in the future, you know?"
"Understood, Father." The second prince respectfully kowtowed three times: "My son is away overseas and is not by Father's side. Father, please take care of the dragon body. The child comes back every three years to see you and the queen mother."
"Okay." Although this son has a bald spot on his head, which makes him very unhappy, but it is also his own blood, and at this time there is also a feeling of reluctance: "Although it is far away overseas, if you have anything, remember to ask your father. Emperor, if those remnants make things difficult for you, Wang Zhi and Zhang Lun will naturally solve them for you. Take all your companions with you, and there are hundreds of doctors, medical girls, and various types of craftsmen. They are all willing to go with you, you have to remember that they are your foundation."
Queen Wang didn't have any feelings for Concubine Ji Shu, but when she thought that Concubine Ji Shu could go out of the palace with the second prince to enjoy the blessings, she was actually very envious.
"The son and minister also bid farewell to the queen mother." The second prince kowtowed to the queen. Although the queen did not take care of Concubine Ji Shu on purpose, according to the rules, the second prince also called the queen "mother queen". The Lord of the Palace: "Please take care of the phoenix body, Queen Mother."
"Okay, your father gave you a vassal state, because he valued you. You should be the king of the country and be filial to your mother and concubine." Queen Wang said: "She traveled thousands of miles to go to the post with you. The love of the child moves the world."
Concubine Ji Shu blushed a little at what she said: "The empress empress Liao praises you."
"I understand." The second prince nodded, and after paying respects to the queen, he kowtowed respectfully to Wan Zhen'er: "Imperial Concubine, please take care of your father, and take care of your phoenix body."
"You child, what are you doing?" Wan Zhen'er quickly helped him up, and reluctantly said: "You have been so sensible since you were a child, but when you go outside, you have to be tougher. You are going to be a king, and your mother and concubine are behind you. You still have your father in Daming, you are the prince of Daming, the king of Japan, don't wrong yourself."
This child can be regarded as the one she has seen since she was a child, and she is reluctant to leave like this.
"I know." The second prince also nodded.
After bidding farewell to his parents, the only thing left to do is to bid farewell to the eldest brother, the crown prince.
The crown prince put his hands behind his back and said earnestly: "Second brother, don't be afraid if you go to the south, you have the whole of Ming as your backing, and anyone who dares to bark his teeth will be punished. Also, the people in that place are all scumbags, you Clean it up with a ruthless hand."
"Yes, brother." The second prince made a long bow: "Father, queen mother, please take care of the prince and elder brother."
"Yes." Wang Zhen who was beside His Highness the Crown Prince offered a box, and His Highness the Crown Prince said: "This is the travel expenses that my elder brother gave you."
The second prince was taken aback: "Didn't you give it to me?"
"That's public money." His Highness the Crown Prince signaled Wang Zhen to pass the box to the servant next to the Second Prince: "This is money for your private house, the poor family's rich road, that is your fief, and it will be passed on to your descendants in the future, but It’s up to you to manage it well.” He approached and told his second brother quietly: “This is 5000 taels of gold and 1 taels of silver. Food, those poor people can’t even afford to eat, if you give them a bite to eat, you are guaranteed to recognize you as their ancestor!”
The second prince smiled: "Yes!"
When he took office this time, he received nearly 10 taels of silver both openly and secretly, which is richer than the prince he had been for more than ten years.
With these things, he and his concubine set off.
The mighty tens of thousands of people acted together. Fortunately, when the cement avenue was built, the imperial road was reserved, and Emperor Xianzong gave special approval to allow members of the royal family to walk along the imperial road.
This royal road can be guaranteed to be smooth, there are post stations along the way, and he doesn't need to pay for food and drink.
After sending away the second prince, when the court started to work on the new year, there was a backlog of things.
In March, Ji Sishuo issued an order to reprimand the Annan Li family for invading Zhenla without reason.
The courtiers were passionate, and various memorials to impeach Annan Li almost overwhelmed Emperor Xianzong's imperial case.
"Chenla?" Wu Youwei was taken aback when he heard that, "Isn't it Lancang Kingdom?"
"Da Ming, only recognize Zhenla." Wan Tongdao: "They will definitely deny it, if it is not Zhenla anymore...."
"Then Daming is famous as a teacher." Wu Youwei said excitedly: "Sure! That place is a treasure."
Who in later generations does not know about Laos!
Laos is most famous for its forest resources, because under the circumstances of later generations, their country can even make the national forest coverage rate about 50.00%, and the air is quite good!
At the same time, they also have tin, lead, potassium, copper, iron, gold, gypsum, coal, salt and other mineral deposits there.
It also produces teak, pear and other precious wood.
It is said that ships made of teak can survive at sea for thousands of years.
At the same time, it is also tropical, and the growth of crops is very easy.
It is a rare treasure place.
Most importantly, coffee, one of the three major beverages of later generations, can be grown there.
"That's right, the emperor thinks so too. If all the vassal states in the south are descendants of the Zhu family... Your proposal, the emperor listened to it!"
Wantong said with a smile: "At that time, what is the whole world? The whole world is the descendants of the Zhu family!"
Wu Youwei laughed loudly: "Then they have to thank me well."
After this incident, it is Qingming Festival, where ancestors are worshipped.
Then began to prepare for spring plowing.
Renshen, the Annan Li family in the south knew Daming's attitude, and sure enough, they used the "country name" as an issue.
But what they didn't know was that this was in Daming's hands!
Emperor Xianzong really mentioned the name of "the country that will not be conquered in the fifteenth year", which does not include the name "Lancang w".
So Annan wants to withdraw from Lancang, and Lancang wants to return to Zhenla!
I am the Kingdom of the Invincible Ming Dynasty, so naturally, no one else has the right to replace it!
At the same time, news came from the south that Concubine Ji Shu and the Second Prince's party had arrived in Shanghai and were about to leave Hong Kong.
News also came from the north. After a whole winter, the mutual market is about to start again. This time there is high-quality milk powder supplied to Daming's candy processing factory. After all, the sales of milk candy are very impressive.
The businessmen of Daming also purchased some raw materials from the mutual market, especially there are textile factories in Shanghai, and they are already researching wool processing.
Once the research is successful... If people on the prairie want to eat, they have to bow down to Daming!
In summer and April, Kuichou, Han Shen restored Hami City.
Upon receiving this news, Emperor Xianzong was overjoyed!
