Zhu Yijun stilled. Marry a princess?
Glancing at Shen Shixing, Zhu Yijun said in a low voice, "I, the Daming, do not know this?" When he said this, Zhu Yijun's tone was very low.
In reality, how could Shen Shixing not know? Putting aside the issue of a marriage alliance, the Emperor doted on his sister. It would be strange if the Emperor agreed to marry his sister to the grasslands.
But there was another matter involved in this, and Shen Shixing had to say it!
"Your Majesty, Lady Zhongshun means that he is disrespectful and is willing to go to the Great Khan and take the title of Sungai Of Gojoseon. He is willing to guard the grasslands with the title of Duke." Shen Shixing smiled bitterly and said, "Let's take the Duke of Qian as an example."
Hearing Shen Shixing's words, Zhu Yijun was stunned. So big?
To be honest, Zhu Yijun really did not expect Sanniangzi to do this. This was equivalent to revoking his title and completely merging with the Daming.
Removing the title of King and guarding the grasslands with the title of Duke. This was a great temptation to Zhu Yijun.
Completely incorporating the grasslands into his territory was something that Zhu Yijun had wanted to do for a long time.
Of course, a marriage alliance was definitely not possible. Sanniangzi probably knew this, so he came up with this. He would give his son the title of Sungai Of Gojoseon, merge Wala with the Daming, and then marry a princess from the Daming.
If he really became a Duke, then he would be a subject of the Daming. It would be reasonable for a subject to marry a princess.
Zhu Yijun sighed. It had to be said that Sanniangzi had a good idea!
Shen Shixing braced himself to say this meant that he was also tempted.
There were many benefits to this. For example, completely subduing Wala. From then on, there would not be any war in the northwest of the Daming, and Wala would belong to the Daming.
The Emperor marrying a princess was not a marriage alliance. It was worth it no matter how one looked at it.
Zhu Yijun was also tempted for a moment, but it disappeared in an instant. Turning to Shen Shixing, Zhu Yijun said, "I don't respect many Emperors. besides our Daming Emperors, the first is Emperor Hanwu of the Tang Dynasty."
"But I look down on their marriage alliance. Daming did not become subjects, did not pay tribute, and did not marry. I feel proud every time I think about it."
"But I look down on their marriage alliance. Daming is not a marriage alliance."
Shen Shixing was knowledgeable, this question was not difficult for him. In a deep voice he said, "Your Majesty, it was the famous general of the early Tang Dynasty, Ashinadur. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong married his own sister, the Princess Hengyang, to Ashinadur and gave him the position of Prince Consort."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. My beloved subject is indeed knowledgeable."
"Emperor Taizong of Tang married his sister to Ashinadur. This could be considered as setting a precedent for the Tang Empire by marriage. In fact, this could also be considered as marrying his sister to a subject of the Tang Empire. After all, Ashinadur was already a subject of the Tang Empire at that time.
"But what happened next?
Did the Tang Dynasty's princess marry a subject?
I won't do such a thing.
Daming is not a marriage alliance. This is a rule. I won't set this precedent. I don't want to be ashamed to see the Daming Emperors in the future. "
"Is his current rudeness comparable to Ashinadur's?
To the throne of the Sungai Of Gojoseon?
To the throne of the Khan?
Let me tell you, from now on, Wala will no longer have a Khan or a Sungai Of Gojoseon. There will only be Wala Chieftains. "
"I don't accept an exchange. No one can exchange with me. What I want, I will send someone to get. What I say goes. I am the Daming Son of Heaven. My words are the imperial edict. No one can negotiate with me."
"I am not Emperor Taizong. I won't use my sister to exchange."
Shen Shixing wasn't shocked by Zhu Yijun's words. He already knew that his Emperor was arrogant.
He didn't think much of the previous emperors and often compared himself to Emperor Wu of Han. Shen Shixing was shocked by Zhu Yijun's mention of Chieftains. Setting up Chieftains in Wala?
His Majesty was trying to bully us ah!
Looking at the Emperor's attitude, he wanted to govern the northwest like the southwest!
What Zhu Yijun wanted to do the most was to bring the grasslands into the Daming's territory.
But the current Daming didn't have that power. Controlling Chieftains was the best method.
Sanniangzi wanted to unify Wala, but Zhu Yijun wouldn't give her the chance.
The most important thing for the Great Ming to do is to restrain the enemy and confer the title of Chieftain.
"Your Majesty, making him a Chieftain?" Shen Shixing was shocked by Zhu Yijun's boldness.
"Can't I?"
Zhu Yijun turned to look at Shen Shixing and asked expressionlessly, "Although the capital camp has returned, the Daming has so many troops in the northwest. Don't tell me they can't fight. Don't tell me they can't even deal with the current Wala."
Of course they could deal with it!
Perhaps they couldn't govern, but they could definitely intimidate. Thinking of this, Shen Shixing was suddenly enlightened. That's right, the war was already like this. Why not? Why couldn't they control Wala? Why couldn't they make Chieftains?
What was the point of making peace? A mere barbarian Chieftain had the nerve to marry the Daming Princess? Ridiculous.
Thinking of this, Shen Shixing was instantly filled with energy and a sense of superiority.
After sending Shen Shixing off, Zhu Yijun let out a sigh of relief. This time, he was prepared to do something big. Controlling Wala and making Chieftains was what he wanted to do.
When the time was right, he would change the soil and completely bring Wala into the Daming.
Unlike Yungui and other places, Zhu Yijun wasn't worried that Wala would rebel after the Chieftains were made.
Yungui and Yungui were too far away. They were too far away. With the current transportation conditions, there was nothing he could do.
The northwest was different. The northwest was so close. Once the Chieftains were made, he could start to infiltrate the northwest.
Through wool weaving and trade, he could completely control the northwest's economic lifeline.
After the Daming's merchants flooded into the grasslands, the grasslands would naturally become the Daming's.
Just as Zhu Yijun was pondering about his grand plans, Zhang Hong silently walked in from outside. When he saw Zhu Yijun, he bowed and said, "Imperial Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites the Imperial Majesty over!"
Glancing at Zhang Hong, Zhu Yijun found that this old man was getting more and more energetic.
In his previous life, Zhang Hong went on a hunger strike and committed suicide. In this life, Zhang Hong was living very well. Not only was he alive and kicking, but he was also getting more and more energetic as he aged. Zhu Yijun didn't know what to say.
Hearing that Queen Dowager Li was looking for him, Zhu Yijun was stunned. What was going on?
Following Zhang Hong to the Kunning Palace, Zhu Yijun found that there were quite a lot of people here.
Other than Queen Dowager Li, his three younger sisters were also here. Even Wu Qingbo and Li Wei were here.
Zhu Yijun was stunned. What was going on?
Was it a family meeting?
Seeing that his three younger sisters were all sorrowful, Zhu Yijun was even more confused.
"Greetings, Mother!" Zhu Yijun bowed to Queen Dowager Li.
"Alright, come over and sit!"
Queen Dowager Li smiled and invited her son to sit. She then said, "Imperial son, have you been busy these days?"
"Replying to Mother, it's been fine. I was just about to meet Lady Zhongshun."
Zhu Yijun replied with a smile. He then turned his gaze to his three younger sisters and said, "What's wrong?"
"Why are you so aggrieved?
Tell me who bullied you. I'll help you deal with him. "
"Does my brother want us to marry him?" Princess Rui 'an pouted and said with a look of grievance.
Among Zhu Yijun's three younger sisters, Princess Rui 'an was the youngest and the most innocent. She was the most doted on by Zhu Yijun.
Hearing Zhu Yijun's question, she couldn't help but say with grievance.
Zhu Yijun was stunned and said with a wry smile, "What a mess. Who did you hear this from?"
"You are more informed than me. Before I came here, I heard that Lady Zhongshun was going to marry his son, Sungai Of Gojoseon. He was impolite to marry a Daming Princess. Where did you get the news?
Besides, how can you look at my brother like this? "
Princess Rui 'an pouted and said, "We are afraid. We don't want to marry a grassland monkey!"
"That's enough. Our Daming Princess is not getting married. How can my brother be willing to marry such a good sister!"
Zhu Yijun smiled and flicked Princess Rui 'an's head. Then he said, "Put your heart in your stomach."
"In a few years, I'll find you the best husband in the world."
Princess Rui 'an blushed directly and said, "My brother is bad. I won't marry. I'll stay in the palace with my mother."
Queen Dowager Li reached out and knocked on Princess Rui 'an's head. She said angrily, "I don't need you to accompany me. Okay, are you at ease now?
Go back!
I have something to talk to your brother. Don't think about it all day. "
After her three daughters left, Queen Dowager Li said, "My son, Shouyang is 17 this year. It's really time to choose a husband. In a few years, she will become a big girl."
In fact, a few years ago, Queen Dowager Li wanted to choose a husband for Princess Shouyang, but she was stopped by Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun felt distressed when he thought about the marriage of a 12 or 13-year-old girl. It was too cruel. This reminded Zhu Yijun of the time when he married sister Wang Xi.
In history, Zhu Yijun's younger sisters didn't live long. This had a lot to do with them marrying too early and giving birth too early.
Other people wouldn't be like him, who would worry about being young and careful when they were having sex.
But he had been massaging for several years. It seemed that he could not hold it anymore. She was 17 years old. If he massaged her again, she would really become an old girl.
But for the time being, Zhu Yijun was going to abolish the restriction that the Commandant of Prince Consort could not be an official.
In so many dynasties in history, the princess of the Daming Dynasty was absolutely weak. Look at the princesses of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. They were basically as domineering as crabs.
As for the princess's disorder, Zhu Yijun could only laugh.
Moreover, the princess of the Daming Dynasty was different from the princess of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Their education methods were also different. It was unlikely that there would be a tough princess like the one in the Han Dynasty.
In fact, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty did not interfere much in the court affairs. It was just that their private lives were tough.
