Chapter 687: Holy Will

Xie Jin felt a little uncomfortable about this. The new Minister of Revenue was his person, and although Xia Yuanji was consistent with his own ideas, he was not his own.

Just like Xia Yuanji certainly supports the prince, but keeps a distance from the prince in personal relationships. Such people are of course beneficial to the prince and Xie Jin, but they are always unsuitable to use it. Sometimes people pay too much attention to morality and become gentlemen, which is a problem for others.

Now Your Majesty is thinking of missing Xia Yuanji. Who can guarantee that when will Xia Yuanji be recalled? With Xia Yuanji's qualifications, at least a tribe, this has added more trouble to Xie Jin.

Fortunately, Your Majesty did not follow this topic, but changed the subject and said, "The ministers also opposed the Siam affairs. Why? Look at it, Hao Fenglou's idea is also good. He rejected the court's desire to grant him the King of Siam, and indeed for the sake of the country. Those words seemed to me as well as the words of the country, which would be of benefit to Your Majesty without any harm. The emperor of the past has always been essential to expand territory. Look at Qin Emperor and Han Wu, which one is not like this?"

There are actually many criticisms about Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but they are still famous. No matter how people from later generations evaluate them, Zhu Di admires these two people very much.

This is certainly related to Zhu Di's wishes. He won the world by relying on his horse. If he discusses the essay, how can he compare with other emperors? His strength is martial arts. Therefore, if Zhu Di wants to become a sage master, he naturally has the idea of ​​this.

However, Xie Jin and others were indifferent to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. The Ming Dynasty was already in the territory of thousands of miles and rich in the world. What should they do in those barren lands?

This is of course related to their attributes. What they represent is a group of people represented by landlords and gentry. For these people, managing their own acre and three-part land is the primary priority. If you want to live a peaceful life, of course, it is better to achieve peace in the world. If you want to expand your territory every now and then, money and grain will be essential, where will the money and grain come from? It’s not that the grain tax is levied, but it’s okay. The court still needs to requisition the people, and many people have to requisition it. Who will farm for themselves?

If the war goes well, it will not benefit them at all. But if the war is defeated, the court will inevitably continue to find its face, which will harm them.

Therefore, for landlords and gentry, any war is not good for them, and what they want is a fair man. As for the military attack, they naturally avoid it. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a pro-war faction who strongly demanded the Northern Expedition, but it attracted a lot of opposition from ministers. The essence here is not that these ministers have no passion. It is really behind them that the will of those landlords and gentry who own the land will harm their interests. No matter how high-sounding the reasons, they would rather be content with Jiangnan.

On the other hand, the chaebol groups in Lang Son are different. What the chaebols need is loss. The greater the loss, the more production demand. Moreover, once the territory is opened, it is equivalent to opening up a new market. For the chaebols, what they are worried about is never waste or loss. The only thing they are worried about is insufficient demand. Once the cannon is fired, the greater the demand, the greater the demand, everyone can get a piece of the pie. Therefore, in Lang Son, almost all the remarks controlled by the chaebols are often the unfriendlyness of neighboring countries to themselves, and they only hope that the court can start the war every day.

Therefore, when the two interest groups were conquering Siam, although they were talking to each other, they had already had a secret confrontation. One side opposed it, and the other side supported it. Both sides were in a state of power.

Of course, what Xie Jin and others want now is Hao Fenglou and the title of King of Siam. Once this person becomes a vassal, he will be less than one opponent.

Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are like this, I think there is a reason for him."

Zhu Di sneered: "Oh? What is the truth, what is the truth, what is the truth, why not just tell me clearly."

Huang Huai couldn't help it and said, "Your Majesty, Siam is a barren land, what's the point?"

If Zhu Di had agreed before, but Hao Fenglou had blown the wind to him, he naturally could not agree, so he smiled and said, "You don't know anything about this. Siam and Zhenla have fertile land, but there are few local people and are not familiar with farming. If I ordered to immigrate and cultivate, it would be called a land of fish and rice within ten years."

Huang Huai said: "It is a place of fish and rice, but it is a matter of two things. Siam and our Ming folk customs are different. What I am worried about is that the people of Siam are unruly, and our Ming Dynasty is kind to the world. Then the King of Siam is a disobedient and will teach the Ming Dynasty some lessons, but how can we destroy the ancestral temples and invade the land? If this is spread, not only will the countries be worried and fearful, but everyone is afraid of our Ming Dynasty like a tiger, but the natives of Siam must rise up. It is far from the heart of our Ming Dynasty and the mountains and rivers are far away. Does the court have to allocate troops and horses every year to suppress? Your Majesty is rich in the world, so why do you need this corner of the land? Instead of doing this, it is better to set up the King of Siam and let him lead the country. They have bathed in the kindness of our Ming Dynasty and will definitely pay tribute every year and never rebel."

Zhu Di was a little moved, and these words were a bit like his appetite.

Seeing this, Hu Yan also agreed: "I am also following the words of Huang Xueshu. Siam is a burden to the Ming Dynasty. Instead of doing this, it is better to follow the Qin and Jin affairs, so that they can restore the country and become the best for Qin and Jin."

Xie Jin struck while the iron was hot: "What Mr. Huang said is very good. Your Majesty, in fact, most of the officials mean this."

With the words "everyone" spoken by everyone, Xie Jin mentioned all officials again.

Originally, if it were just Huang Huai people who said that Zhu Di was shaken, he really did not want to make all states afraid because of a small Siam, and make all the vassals think that the Ming Dynasty coveted the land of the Western Regions. However, now that everyone is in the same voice, Hao Fenglou's words seemed to ring in his ears: "Your Majesty, all civil and military officials, probably because they don't want your Majesty to taste the sweetness."

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but frown.

Because this sentence has two meanings. One is that I seem to be fooled by someone, the other is that these people are together and want to control their decisions for their own selfish interests.

Zhu Di couldn't help but sneer.

His eyes were deep and he said slowly: "Oh, it seems that my ministers all seem to oppose Hao Fenglou's meaning, right?"

This sentence is a bit inexplicable, which makes the bachelors present not know how to answer.

Zhu Di said with a smile: "But I think that Hao Fenglou's advice is to be a conspirator, and the soldiers fight to expand the territory of our Ming Dynasty. Do you want to give up people easily? You are too generous. My Ming Dynasty certainly values ​​kindness but not power, but the King of Siam is not virtuous, and I am punishing the people for crimes. What is there to gossip about this? You usually say that all countries in the world admire my Ming Dynasty. Since that's the case, those Siam people are willing to become my Ming people. I should satisfy their wishes. According to my opinion, this matter will be done according to what Hao Fenglou said. Xie Jin, you will draw up the decree. First, change Siam to Dingnan Province. Second, set up the Supervisory Council in Dingnan Province, so that the native Siam people will elect ministers to uphold military and political affairs. Third, set up the thirteen prefectures in Siam and set up the thirteen guards together..."

Xie Jin was shocked, but although His Majesty seemed to be relaxed, he had a majesty that could not be rejected. The others were about to persuade him again, but Xie Jin felt something was wrong and quickly winked at Huang Huai and Hu Yan.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Come out of the warm room.

Xie Jin was caught up by Huang Huai just a few steps. Huang Huai seemed furious and couldn't help but say, "Donald Jie, Your Majesty is so arbitrary, why does Xie not speak up for justice? Could it be that this matter is like a child's play?"

The play Huang Huai mentioned is not just because Hao Fenglou could not be imprisoned in Siam, but because of the affairs of the Siam Principal Court. Siam neither sent the imperial court to order officials nor granted a king over, but it was entirely up to the Siams to elect ministers to preside over government affairs. This is obviously a play. Isn’t this absurd thing? There has never been such a ridiculous thing in history, and even in China and abroad.

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Since Mr. Huang knows that this is a play, then it's better to let it play. Since it is a play, something will happen sooner or later. Then we will speak up again, why should we be anxious for a while? Besides, today, Your Majesty suddenly changed his voice. I think it must be that Hao Fenglou had slandered in advance. Why should we touch this wall at this time? Oh... It's a pity that Hao Fenglou was originally imprisoned in the West, and the troubles in the capital were reduced by half. It seems that we still have to deal with Hao Fenglou.

After all, it doesn't matter. Look, the world is in a vast and powerful situation. Hao Fenglou is indeed powerful, but he is overestimating his ability to change the color of the country. The mayfly shakes the tree and the mantis blocks the car. Why is it unexpected? Huang Gong, you don't have to worry too much. In recent years, I have actually figured it out that we can't make stones. If we make stones, we are the mainstay. It looks hard, but in fact, it will be washed away by the water flow sooner or later. We want to make water. Water has no constant momentum and no long shape. It moves according to time and shapes according to the ground. There is some time, so there is no need to rush for a moment."

He said something inexplicable, laughed and left. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
