Chapter 678 Repelling wolves
Seeing this, Zhu Biao was a little stunned, and then frowned in dissatisfaction. Maybe Duan Qiangna thought that what she was doing now was a noble and honorable sacrifice for the blood relatives of her family and country, but in Zhu Biao's opinion, this was not a good thing. behavior of the table.
Could it be that such an important matter involving hundreds of thousands of people can be easily resolved by you, a woman, by undressing?
This is really a joke. Even if this woman has a good appearance, it is not enough to carry the identity of Princess Duan's daughter of Dali, and it can even be said that the difference is too much, too much.
For such a princess of a small country, Zhu Biao asked all the vassal states to donate one as a plaything a year. How could he be swayed by this?
There is nothing wrong with pursuing political affairs in his position and seeking interests for one's own side. Marriage can naturally be used as a bargaining chip. Zhu Biao has never resisted political marriage, but it should not be so obvious, it is too shameful and inappropriate.
"Enough! This is my Great Ming Wuying Hall, a place where the emperor discusses important military and political affairs with the princes. It is not a place of obscenity. Please respect yourself!"
Facing this cold reprimand, Duan Qiangna's expression was mournful, but the movement of her hands stopped at any rate, and she stood there silently crying a little at a loss, and others might have softened her heart.
Although Zhu Biao has never softened his heart, he is also a little tired of this way of communication. Just because you ask for something doesn’t mean I will answer it. This woman thinks this matter too simply.
Perhaps it was caused by the fact that the orthodoxy of the Central Plains in the past dynasties since the Tang and Song Dynasties never ruled Yunnan, which made Duan think that Daming did not need Yunnan very much, and that it was enough for her to enter the East Palace as a concubine to show her loyalty.
This is the difference in how the two sides look at the problem. The Duan family never thought that Zhu Biao had the intention to completely break the foundation of the Duan family. After all, even the brutal Meng Yuan had never done this. Manager Dali.
However, in Zhu Biao’s eyes, Yunnan connects the two oceans, connects Sanya and the fourth district to the surrounding areas of the inland radiation, with towering mountains and great rivers, and a huge gap between the north and the south. It is condescending to the Southeast Asian countries. It is also in it!
So in Zhu Biao's conception, if he wanted to completely win Nanyang, Yunnan was the top priority.
"If it's too difficult for a foreign envoy to take on the important task, then go back here. The letter from the chief executive of Dali will also be forwarded to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If Duan is really interested, please ask the chief executive to come to Beijing in person next time."
Even if Duan Bao was killed, he would not dare to come to Beijing. If he dared to come to Zhu Biao, he would not let him go back to Yunnan alive. Speaking of this, even if the talk collapsed, Zhu Biao was not in a good mood. He wasted so much time. But who made Duan think that a prostitute could satisfy Daming's appetite.
Without waiting for Duan Qiangna to react, Zhu Biao got up and waved his sleeves to leave. The Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Minister of Military Affairs were still waiting for him in the Jinshen Hall. There were some matters that were not clear in the early morning court and had to be resolved in a small meeting.
As for the Duan family, if they still have some brains, if someone else among the envoys who came this time can stand up, then there is still a chance to continue the discussion. If not, then they are doomed to perish.
However, considering such an important matter, the Duan family would not place all their hopes on a young woman, and there should still be elders from the collateral line who followed.
Zhu Biao stepped into the Jinshen Hall, and when he saw the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War, he was about to salute: "Excuse me."
"How is the Guizhou new guard?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, Wukaiwei, Pingtaiwei, Pingxiwei, Tongguwei and other guards have all settled here. Now my Ming Dynasty has a total of 17 guards in various parts of Guizhou, controlling the main roads of mountains and rivers. Longzan Aqi Song Mongolia Evil and other consolation envoys will not hinder."
"Well, let's add seven more guards. These seven guards can recruit local people in Guizhou to appease all ethnic groups in Guizhou. They warn the commanders to treat them as one and never bully and criticize them. If there is a mutiny, the court will punish them severely. , the supply of grain and grass for the military supplies of the household department shall not be delayed."
"No."
Facts have proved that Long Zan Ah Qi is a smart man. The current situation in Guizhou is much more stable than Zhu Biao expected, and there is no obstacle to entering the guard station. Some stubborn Tu people don't need the guard station, they can solve it Yes, and the method is extremely cruel.
"The relocation of immigrants from various places is postponed, at least until the spring plowing season has passed. The Ministry of Household Affairs should also send people to the place to check the situation of the relocated immigrants. Don't just wait for the imperial censor to impeach them before making corrections."
Several people settled the issues that were not discussed in the early court. Zhao Wenjing hesitated for a moment and asked: "I heard that His Highness just received the Dali Duan's envoy?"
It is taboo to inquire about the monarch's movements rashly, but Zhu Biao is very tolerant of capable ministers: "Well, Duan's visit is the sister of Duan Bao, the chief executive of Dali."
The two ministers looked at each other and understood Duan's little plan, but they also remembered the expression of His Royal Highness when he came in just now. Although it seemed to be the same as usual, they still felt His Highness's displeasure. It appears to have messed things up.
They didn't think it was His Highness who was dissatisfied with the appearance of that Duan's daughter. How could his own prince be hindered by his appearance? You must know that before the Northern Tour, Shengshang accepted the invitation of some courtiers and set a lot of badges for His Highness. Zhaoxun.
There are quite a few ladies of the right age who are the commanders of the local guarding generals. What kind of appearance do these rough guys have? Although they have power now, it is still difficult to give birth to a daughter with outstanding appearance. It is not impossible, but the probability is certain She is no match for a woman from a wealthy family.
If His Royal Highness did not nod and agree to this kind of thing, the Holy Majesty would definitely not force it. It can be seen that His Highness the Crown Prince is a person who can achieve great things.
The two guessed in their hearts but did not ask why His Highness was unhappy. This is not something they can ask anymore, but they just said bluntly: "It is a good thing for my Ming Dynasty that the Duan family's power is gradually increasing. King Liang is not popular at all, and it is even more so now Weakness, Your Highness, why don't we use the strategy of driving away wolves and tigers?"
"Your Highness, this humble minister thought it would be better to change this wolf to Guizhou wolf, just to see how much loyalty Long Zan Aqi and others really have."
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up slightly. It is indeed a good idea to use the soldiers and horses of the chieftains of Guizhou to touch Duan and Liang Wang. Longzan Aqi and others are very cooperative now, but the military power in their hands is really a threat.
No matter how obedient the dog is, as long as it has fangs and claws, it may turn into a wolf and bite back at any time. Zhu Biao's trust in the chieftains is still limited, but he doesn't want to force them too much.
"This article is good. The Ministry of War will go back and discuss with the Governor's Office of the Zhongshu Province, and then draft a memorial and submit it."
"No."
The two ministers retreated hand in hand. Zhu Biao had a simple lunch under Liu Jin's service, and then began to review the memorials.
Zhu Biao put down the wolf hair in his hand and walked around the desk to stand tall. He saw a middle-aged man wearing a censor uniform came in and stood still. Zhu Biao saluted first: "My son, I respectfully welcome Sheng An."
The imperial envoy stood north and faced south and responded loudly: "Saint Christine!"
After the simple etiquette, the imperial envoy saluted the prince, and Zhu Biao knew that this was not an oral order for him alone, otherwise he should have said it directly.
"My minister pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness will last forever!"
"Excuse me from the Qing family, but who else needs to be summoned to receive the order?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, you still need the princes Hu Xiang and Song Shi's six ministers and the academicians of the Imperial Academy Guozijian to sacrifice wine."
"Liu Jin immediately summoned them into the palace to receive the order in Huagai Hall."
"No."
The six ministers of the prince and prime minister are naturally easy to talk about. If they are not in the palace, they are in the government office at the gate of the palace. But like Guozijian offering wine, they have to go outside the city to invite them. It will take a while to wait for everyone.
Although the father and the queen often exchange letters, the letters don’t have much to say, so it’s rare that Comrade Zhu has had enough fun and thinks that his family will send someone close to him back. Naturally, Zhu Biao has to inquire about it.
