I am the king of the dead

"Relax." Zhu Zhanqian signaled them to be reassured, Daming is the imperial court, not a thief who came to Guizhou to rob money, food, women, and run away after the robbing.

Dong He and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were a lot of silver coins, Daming needed more silver coins. They were far away from the border, so they thought they would not enjoy this kind of preferential reward policy.

"Your Majesty is lenient." Dong He bowed his head and said.

Zhu Zhanqian nodded and said, "Excuse me, is there anything else?"

This is a secret battle where you come and go, but you can't see any swords and swords. This kind of sincere discussion began in the Hongwu period. It was called Zhao Dui at first, and then it gradually appeared in all aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the court meeting under the court meeting, the ministerial meeting under the court meeting, the ministerial meeting under the ministerial meeting, the communication and discussion between the governor and local officials, the sincere talks between local governments and business leaders, and so on.

Dong He and others had a friendly and long-term communication with Zhu Zhanqian. The two sides fully exchanged opinions, understood each other's demands, and reached an agreement on the good operation of the official factory and the dredging department.

However, Zhu Zhanqian expressed firm opposition to some official factory affairs proposed by Dong He, and took out His Majesty's strong veto.

During the whole process, there was a verbal battle, and Zhu Zhanqian was well-founded, sticking to the bottom line, and responding flexibly. After an hour-long talk, the two sides ended the talk in a good atmosphere.

Zhu Zhanqian leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling dully and said, "Luo Changshi, intrigue with them is more tiring than building a shipyard."

"I miss those singers in Prince Xiang's Mansion, and I don't know if they were injured when they made trouble in Nan Ya."

Luo Bingzhong thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I can only think about it. They will not accompany His Highness here to suffer."

Bustards love banknotes, girls love beauty, in this place of Guizhou, those watery girls in Xiangyang Mansion, who is willing to suffer this?

Zhu Zhanqian said with a smile: "Add money alone."

Luo Bingzhong nodded heavily and said, "Okay! That's great!"

For a time, the whole side hall was filled with joyful atmosphere.

Guo Yan was also helpless, this pair of master and servant was really interesting, and he couldn't stop laughing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhu Zhanqian sat up straight and said: "Before the sincere talk, you must first know the purpose of this sincere talk, otherwise you will be led by the nose if you are not prepared."

"Then you know who came and who didn't, who should have come but didn't come, and who shouldn't have come but came. For example, Dong He seemed to accept his fate and prepare to retire, but he came."

Luo Bingzhong said suddenly, "He shouldn't have come."

Zhu Zhanqian looked at the backs of those people leaving, and said in a daze: "But he is still here."

"This is before the meeting. You must be fully prepared, otherwise you will be overwhelmed by the fierce pursuit of these officials."

"They are much easier to deal with than the group of masters in the capital."

"The masters of the capital are fundamentally different from the masters of Guizhou. If you want to be convinced by the masters of the capital, you have to be like your majesty, paying equal attention to civil and martial arts."

"That's the real master, the sharp handle is not easy to use."

"Masters in Guizhou only need a sharp handle to handle it."

Luo Bingzhong suddenly realized: "Your Highness... High opinion."

Zhu Zhanqian took a sip of tea and said, "When you are having a sincere conversation, you must grasp the bottom line. This cannot be changed."

"When they touch the bottom line, they must immediately look hideous. They must not have the slightest bit of patience and directly fight back seriously, otherwise they will push forward. This is the most important point."

Luo Bingzhong agreed in retrospect.

When King Xiang rejected the list, he didn't hesitate at all. When he saw the Chieftain, he immediately refused.

He hurriedly said: "Your Highness is wise."

Zhu Zhanxi continued: "Of course, we must also pay attention to everyone's reaction, such as Fan Li, who has been hesitating."

"You have to find their leader and pay attention to observation, otherwise it will be a waste of effort to talk to a duck."

"For example, their leader is Dong He. It seems that he was not exposed until the key issues were discussed."

"Actually, it's not the case. Before the first question was discussed, Gu could already confirm that Dong He took the lead."

Luo Bingzhong thought about it seriously, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness is really insightful."

Zhu Zhanqian's complexion became strange, and he shivered and said: "The masters in the capital are always closely united, you don't know who is the leader at all, it seems that everyone is the leader, It doesn't seem to be either."

"It's hard to figure it out, Chaotang, they are all human beings."

A Jinshi can directly serve as a Beijing official after passing the Hanlin examination, but then he has to go to a local area to become a promoted official. When can he become a Beijing official?

Returning to the court after the nine-year period expires is the bottom line, but in most cases, after returning to the court, he will once again hang the official seal of the capital and serve as a local.

Yu Qian spent 19 years in the exam, Wang Wen spent 18 years in it, and Wang Ao only entered Beijing after 25 years because of a little friction with Yang Shiqi.

As far as the masters in the capital are concerned, is there anyone who is easy to deal with?

Zhu Zhanqian has been intriguing with them for several months, and they have lost thirty catties, and they are even more tiring.

The weight he lost was all weighed down for Daming.

This Dong He, a Jinshi in the second year of Yongle, has been an official and is still hanging around in the local area. How can it be so easy to get in as a Beijing official?

"The place is good, but the place is rather stupid." Zhu Zhanqian said sincerely.

"After the meeting, make a good summary after the meeting. You can get in touch with Fan Li later. I feel that he should not be of the same mind with these local officials. There is no harm in contacting."

Luo Bingzhong kept blinking and said, "Didn't he hand in the list?"

Zhu Zhanqian looked at Luo Bingzhong for a long time and said: "On weekdays, you are very clever. You are good at dredging, building, communicating, and adjusting relationships. Why don't you have talent for such intrigue? "

"Because he handed it in, Gu let you get in touch."

Luo Bingzhong asked suspiciously: "Ah? Why?"

Zhu Zhanqian smacked his lips and explained: "He wrote that because he knew he would be rejected, so you understand."

Luo Bingzhong thought about it seriously for a long time before he said convincingly: "Your Highness knows people well, and his eyes are like torches!"

Fan Li is not stupid, why submit a list that will inevitably be rejected?

It is a national policy to reform the land and return it to the natives, and it cannot be violated at all. He actually wrote the name of the chieftain official.

If you really want to pass, why not write about the relatives of the Chieftain Shiguan?Or simply write the name of the broker-comprador on behalf of the holder?

Just for this list, it will not be passed.

That's why Zhu Zhanyan asked Luo Bingzhong to contact Fan Li, to see if Fan Li was really stupid, or just testing.

Zhu Zhanqian looked at Luo Bingzhong's appearance, and said helplessly: "Luo Changshi, learn from Gu for a few more years. Although Gu is not as brave and diligent as you, you have seen a lot of Gu."

He watched with his own eyes the emperor's uncle, the king of Han, Zhu Gaoxu. During the four years in Xuande, his whole family was roasted to death. If he didn't grow a delicate heart, he wouldn't be alive now.

Luo Bingzhong said with a smile: "The minister will check for omissions and fill vacancies here for a few more years, Your Highness."

"Okay, let's go." Zhu Zhanqian waved his hand, signaling Luo Bingzhong to do something.

Guo Yan was about to get up and leave, but Zhu Zhanqian stopped Guo Yan.

"Gu also knows about you, His Majesty told Gu." The reason why Zhu Zhanqian kept Guo Yan by his side was to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

The court is sorry for Guo Yan.

Where was Guizhou before?It is a barren land, almost equivalent to a place of exile.

In the inconspicuous civil unrest in the tenth year of Zhengtong, all the ships built by Guo Yanti in the eight prefectures were destroyed.

Guo Yan himself was thrown into Sizhou Prefecture, Guizhou, and became the magistrate.

Guo Yan was taken aback for a moment, bowed his head with a sad expression and said, "Thank you...Your Majesty is concerned."

There are so many Juren and Scholars in the world, and how many can His Majesty remember?

Guo Yan was a little resentful at first, but it disappeared immediately.

Zhu Zhanqian continued: "Wang Ji is dead."

In the tenth year of orthodoxy, Yang Shiqi was already dead, and the one who made the fake hand artifact was Wang Zhen, who waited for Jiang Gui in Dingxi, and after returning from the southern expedition to Luchuan, he said a very strange thing to his son Jiang Wan.

Wang Ji uses Wang Zhen, not Wang Zhen uses Wang Ji.

Guo Yan's misfortune began when he served the emperor to establish a navy going south to the West. He pursed his lips, he naturally knew what he meant, and said with pursed lips: "I...know it early in the morning, and happily drank half a pot of wine , I am not good at drinking alcohol."

Zhu Zhanqian thought for a long time and said, "Do you have any request?"

Guo Yan hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I don't dare, it's fine now."

Zhu Zhanqian's meaning was very clear, that is, the court was full of smog, which caused Guo Yan to be treated so poorly for so many years. Guo Yan could make some unreasonable demands, such as becoming an official in Beijing, returning to his hometown with honor, and asking for some rewards.

He thought for a while and said, "You have to know that His Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, and he will think of you next time if he doesn't see you. If you don't mention it this time, there will be no next time. It's like a gust of wind, blowing by."

Guo Yan said with a smile: "I have already thought about it a long time ago. I have been favored by the emperor for many years, so I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts."

Guo Yan was just a Jinshi. If he didn't mention it at this time, His Majesty would really forget him, but Zhu Zhanqian made it clear, and Guo Yan still didn't mention anything.

Zhu Zhanqian nodded and said: "Do things well, the court will not treat any meritorious officials badly."

Zhu Zhanqian looked at Guo Yan's back and remained silent.

Guo Yan should not be here, this strange world.

Chapter 428 The Advisory Council of Samarkand

Zhu Zhanqian’s memorial to the front page of the Bodi newspaper, and the memorial to report on various things in Guizhou, went to the capital along the post road.

At this time in Samarkand, Wang Fu had just tied up the cargo on the camels, and the caravan was about to head for Daming.

This is a huge gain after the Oirats broke through Samarkand. At this time, Oirats moved westward and stopped in Samarkand, and did not continue all the way west.

Wang Fu clapped his hands and put on a mask. This was invented by His Majesty the Great Emperor for Yu Shaobao, and he liked it very much.

There is a lot of wind and sand here.

Samarkand was called the Kang Kingdom in the Song and Tang Dynasties. Samarkand originally meant a fertile land and a place of healthy living.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin rose in Liaodong, and the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty were in peace for a hundred years. There was no military affairs and the military equipment was slack.

Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, led an army to conquer the Kingdom of Jin, and was defeated and returned. After the Kingdom of Jin broke through Huanglong Mansion, an important town in the Kingdom of Liao, it began its own journey to destroy the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty's journey to the south, a man named Yelu Dashi from the Liao Kingdom began to march westward with the last hope of the Liao Kingdom.

And the year name that Yelu Dashi has used for the longest time is the Kingdom of Kang.

The westward movement of Yelu Dashi met with great resistance. If you can’t say westward, I will let you go westward. I have to touch you to see if the dragon is crossing the river.

In the Katwan Grassland north of Samarkand, the Seljuk Empire united tens of thousands of troops and touched Yelu Dashi.

Then the Sarjuk Empire fell apart.

How many people are there in Yelu Dashi? 3 people.

The Liao army led by Yelu Dashi had an ally called the Xikara Khanate. This Khanate was established when the Uighurs were in the Tang Dynasty and could not survive in the south and north of the desert.

Theoretically speaking, Yelu Dashi and the West Kara Khanate have the same origin. They have a total of less than 4 troops, and they fought the Seljuk Empire with tens of thousands of troops, and their corpses lay tens of miles away.

Since then, Yelu Dashi has gained a firm foothold in the land of Kang.

The kingdom of Khwarizmo was originally a subsidiary state of the Seljuk Empire, but Yelu Dashi held his head down and returned to Xiliao. He donated [-] Jinbali every year and bowed his head as a vassal.

After the death of Yelu Dashi, Huarazmo Guoguo finally breathed a sigh of relief and started his glorious road to domination, but he met Genghis Khan.

At that time, Genghis Khan didn't want to conflict with the kingdom of Khorizim. He was attacking Xixia at that time. Xixia and Song Dynasty had been pecking at each other for so many years. There were not many other things, except that there were many castles, which was very troublesome.

Genghis Khan sent envoys to the country of Khwarizm, wanting to maintain their friendship.

Because the Khwarizm Kingdom was really strong at the time, Genghis Khan sent a caravan of 450 people and 500 camels to maintain a friendly business relationship with the Khwarizm Kingdom. Genghis Khan's mission killed everyone in the mission.

Genghis Khan sent an envoy again to tell Khorizmo to hand over the murderer. At that time, Khorizmo was at its most powerful and flourishing. King Mahamo of Khorizmo said with a smile: "Which onion is Genghis Khan?"

King Mahamo killed Genghis Khan's envoy, shaved off the beards of the two deputy envoys, and returned them to Genghis Khan.

Samarkand was also the capital of King Khorezm at that time.

No one knew why King Mahamo of Khwarizm was so arrogant at that time, but they started a nightmare that made the whole Western Regions tremble. Mohamo was like a child who opened Pandora's box.

Since then, Mongolia has begun to march west.

Genghis Khan led his children and generals, crossed the Jinshan Altai Mountain, and came to the kingdom of Huacizimo and started the four-way battle to attack Huarazmo.

In this battle, Mahamo was defeated, and he handed over the kingship to his eldest son Zarandin Minburnu.

A Ming is a man with a lot of backbone. He killed more than [-] Mongolian people in the Battle of Balu Bay, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.

But in the end, he was defeated, and Amin was killed by the mountain people, and his head was sacrificed in the big tent.

Standing in the wind, Wang Fu watched the caravan go far away with a smile on his face.

This is most of the gains from the Western Expedition of the Oirats. There are a lot of jewelry, livestock, jade, craftsmen, etc. going to the east, and a total of [-] camels will rush to Jiayuguan along the trade route.
