Chapter 418 What kind of delicate flowers can grow?
“What did you say?!”
Zhu Zaijing, who was reading leisurely in his small courtyard, was stunned when he heard the information reported by Huang Jinlai and stood directly got up.
Huang Jin looked at Zhu Zaijing who had such a huge reaction, and also advised: "Your Majesty, this is the emperor's idea. I am not worried about it, so I thought of using the method of marriage to maintain peace with our Ming Dynasty forever. . ”
“Originally, the emperor wanted to betroth the princess sent by An Da to Prince Jing, but considering Prince Jing’s health, the emperor gave up and thought that you are the one who is suitable. Ask what you mean ”
Zhu Zaijing chuckled, "Is my king's intention that important? Besides, this is also a major matter related to the further trust and integration between Ming Dynasty and the grassland. Do I have any objections?"
Huang Jin smiled awkwardly, which was indeed of no use.
However, Huang Jin still consoled him: "Your Majesty, I have heard that the princess I sent this time is Princess Qimuge, who is known as the most beautiful flower in the grassland. She is sixteen years old this year. At the same age as Hua, she is a perfect match for you."
Zhu Zaijing had a headache. He had never heard of Princess Qimuge.
And given the harsh environment of the grasslands in this era, what kind of delicate flowers can grow?
Thank God this guy isn't an ugly monster. It's really crazy to expect that there will be beautiful flowers!
Zhu Zaijing asked: "When did this happen? Why has there been no news about this king before?"
Zhu Zaijing was also very depressed. After all, he was also the supervisor of the country. My lord, he can still know some information immediately.
But he didn’t hear any news about An Da’s plan to get married to Daming. What a hell!
Huang Jindao: "This is the request I made two days ago when the envoy came to Beijing to see the emperor. The envoy said that there has been peace between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty in recent years, and the grassland also cherishes this Peaceful time.”
"But in order to make this peace more secure, they made a marriage request to the emperor. At that time, the emperor refused without thinking."
"After all, Chengzu once said when he was still alive, 'The Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed. The emperor refused to pay tribute, so the emperor rejected their request. "But just after the emperor rejected them, they replied that they wanted to send a princess to the Ming Dynasty, just like North Korea. Pay tribute regularly as well.”
Zhu Zaijing couldn’t help stroking his forehead when he heard this.
North Korea has the habit of sending beautiful girls to the Ming Dynasty, but for several generations of emperors, they have never mentioned this kind of thing to North Korea, so the matter gradually stopped.
Unexpectedly, An Da revealed it now. He actually thought about imitating North Korea and sending women to the Ming Dynasty regularly in exchange for peace. Fortunately, he could think of it.
Is this worthy of his title as Lord of the Grassland?
But after thinking about it again, Anda had received the title of Shunyi King conferred by the Ming Dynasty in the original history. It is not impossible for him to make such a political operation now.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Since they are willing to send a princess, then they must not only want a long-term guarantee, right?"
Huang Jin immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise. ! An Da wanted to go west, so he was worried that Daming would think that he was disloyal at this time, so he thought of sending a princess to show his sincerity. "
"Go west?"
Zhu Zaijing was a little unfamiliar with this word.
But in a second thought, Zhu Zaijing also became confused. Isn't the westward march of the grassland towards the Western Regions?
Although it has been hundreds of years since the Western Regions were separated from the control of the Central Plains, in the hearts of every Chinese, it is still Chinese land.
So now that I want to go west, Zhu Zaijing can't help but look at this problem from a higher position.
Zhu Zaijing said: "I remember that during the time of Taizu, we also set up Hami Guard in the west, right?"
Huang Jin hummed, "Yes, Your Majesty, Hami Guard was in Taizu's time." Although it was established during the He Chengzu period, due to the reasons in the north, the imperial court never really restored the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and attributed it to the Central Plains. "So for hundreds of years, the Hami Guard has existed in name only. The Buddha was destroyed, and they were all worshiping a god named Allah."
Zhu Zaijing nodded and said, "I know this. When we were in the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains were like this. There were collisions with these desert tribes who worshiped Allah, but because the supply line was stretched too long, the Tang army did not effectively stop their eastward momentum."
"Later, after the Anshi Rebellion, although the supply line was stretched too long, the Tang army was unable to stop them. Lone warriors like the Guiyi Army persisted in the Western Regions for more than eighty years, but they were eventually defeated by the passage of time. In the end, the Central Plains Dynasty completely lost control of the Western Regions.”
"It's been another few hundred years now. The north is temporarily stable, and the imperial court should really consider the affairs of the Western Regions. But now that I am willing to take the lead, we can't be idle."
"I heard that I believe in Buddhism, but the people in the Western Regions do not believe in Buddhism. Well, I will write another letter of advice to Your Majesty, select some eminent monks from across the country, and send them to Anda, and ask him to take them with the army to Pudu. All living beings.”
When Huang Jin heard Zhu Zaijing’s words, he felt that they made sense.
After all, if you want to rule a place, in addition to people, education is also very important.
Otherwise, no matter how many people are sent there, they will eventually either be assimilated by others, or they will disappear forever, just like the Tang Dynasty Guiyi Army, which was short-lived and disappeared.
So now that I'm thinking about making plans for the Western Regions, giving him some private goods can be regarded as a means of planning in advance.
Huang Jindao: "My lord, your suggestion is good. I will tell the emperor when I get back."
Zhu Zaijing said: "Then I will thank you for your father-in-law."
< br>Then Zhu Zaijing returned to the topic. Zhu Zaijing asked: "Do you have a portrait of Princess Qimuge now?"
Since you can't resist, then learn about it in advance.
In case the time comes, you will not be mentally prepared.
Huang Jin replied: "There is no portrait of Princess Qimuge yet, but it should be available in a while."
Zhu Zaijing sighed, waved his hands and said: "No Forget it, this kind of thing can only be done according to fate. I hope this king can shoulder the important responsibility of making peace with the grassland and contribute to the peaceful coexistence between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland. "
Huang Jin faced. Zhu Zaijing bowed: "Your Majesty is so righteous!"
Zhu Zaijing laughed and said no more. Now he just feels tired.
How could Emperor Jiajing not take the words of Taizong, oh no, Emperor Chengzu seriously?
Isn’t it okay to say no? Wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty not pay tribute if they didn’t make peace with each other?
Why are you going back on your word and pushing your son out for marriage?
Isn’t this going against our ancestors?
But when you think about how Emperor Jiajing dared to raise Zhu Di's Taizong as his ancestor, you can see that Emperor Jiajing is an emperor who likes to take the rules of his ancestors seriously.
You must know that he was cultivating immortals and building a mausoleum at the same time, and the size of the mausoleum was only a little smaller than Zhu Di's Changling.
It can be seen that Emperor Jiajing is also planning that future generations will be able to appreciate his great kindness in bringing the vassal king into heirs and give him a higher level. Let him also be able to call himself the ancestor of the clan in a hundred years and become the immortal king of the old Zhu family!
However, according to the normal historical process, his wish is destined to be impossible to realize, because in the original history, after the death of Emperor Jiajing, he trusted old comrade Xu Jie to use the "Edict of Daxing Emperor" "It made Emperor Jiajing's face dark.
After such a black spot, for the sake of political correctness, future emperors would only redress the unjust, false and wrongful cases of the previous dynasty in order to win the hearts of scholars. How could they remember the ancestor of Emperor Jiajing?
