Once the king of the Jurchen Empire, Gu Ermin, the guard minister in the Kingdom of Korea, has always been an outlier among the Jurchens.

His martial arts is very high, but his knowledge is even higher.

For a while, the Jurchen tribe was proud of being illiterate and proud of being brave and brave.

And this Gu Ermin liked to read books since he was a child, and he tried every means to get all kinds of books from the Daning Empire, and he simply read a lot of books.

Therefore, he and the Jurchen nobles are a little incompatible. When Nurchi was in power, Gu Ermin was also a marginal figure, even though his martial arts was second only to Domogon.

It was only after Jin Taiji came to power that this Gu Ermin came to the fore.

In less than a year as the guardian minister of the Kingdom of Korea, he desperately squeezed the entire Kingdom of Korea and delivered astronomical food to the Jurchen Empire, as well as a large number of soldiers.

Not only that, but he also moved a large number of people from the Kingdom of Korea to Tuntian in Liaodong, and the Jurchen people into the Kingdom of Korea, trying to use this method of mutual migration to completely digest and annex the Kingdom of Korea.

Du Bian looked through his information, and this Gu Ermin was a real all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and his talent in internal affairs even surpassed his military talent.

It can be said that if the rise of Dubian hadn't interrupted the backbone of the Jurchen Empire, the Jurchen Empire might have completely annexed the huge Kingdom of Korea after more than a decade.

And this Guermin also has another characteristic, that is, he is moody, he often says things that others don't understand, and he is extremely impatient, so he gives people a feeling of being open-minded and completely incomprehensible.

...

There is still fifty miles away from the capital.

The all-talented former Jurchen empire, Gu Ermin, entered the camp of Du Bian.

"Master, will you rebel?"

rebellion? Who is conspiring to oppose? Is the Daning Empire?

Du Bian was shocked when he heard this question.

This, is this the second stupid son?

Do I know you Gu Ermin well?

Really unfamiliar, Wanyan Youngtu persuaded Guermin to surrender to Dubian in the Seoul House of the Kingdom of Korea.

At that time, Gu Ermin led 20,000 Jurchen soldiers to kneel and surrender. Since then, Du Bian has not talked to him, nor has he taken the initiative to find Du Bian.

He didn't expect that when he was about to arrive in the capital, he would take the initiative to meet Du Bian, and in the first sentence he asked if Du Bian would rebel?

"Of course not." Du Bian said.

Guermin said: "Why?"

Du Bian said, "Because I have a greater goal."

Guermin said: "What goal?"

Du Biandao: "A big, big goal. Conquering the entire world is just a prerequisite for this goal."

"Oh." Gu Ermin nodded, and then left immediately.

Halfway through, Gu Ermin took out a book from his arms, the title turned out to be "Collected Works of Du Bian".

Du Bian was stunned. When did he publish a collection of essays?

Gu Ermin said: "Master, did you write all the articles and poems in this collection?"

Du Bian said: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Gu Ermin said: "It's nothing, it's just a bit strange, the style is not uniform. However, it is extremely well written, and I have read it more than a thousand times."

Then he just left.

Unexpectedly, he is still a fan of Du Bian?

...

After Guermin left, Du Bian fell into contemplation instead.

At this time, probably the whole world is thinking about asking a question, will Du Bian rebel? Will it take the emperor to make the princes?

Now he really has reached the point where he is not rewarded for his merits.

In other dynasties, the emperor probably had to hide everything from the bird and the dog.

But it was impossible at this time. Even if the emperor wanted to do this, he did not have the ability.

"Li Daozhen, in your heart, will I rebel?" Du Bian asked.

Li Daozhen immediately wrapped her arms around Du Bian's neck and said, "Of course not. How can Du Lang rebel?"

Du Bian said: "Yes, how could I rebel?"

Then, Li Daozhen's soft lips kissed, and his jade hand reached into Du Bian's clothes.

"I'm just asking you a question, not for affection." Du Bian said.

But it was too late, Li Daozhen had already started to undress by himself.

The last time Du Bian said that you should not rush to make out if you have something, the woman Li Daozhen said a very classic sentence.

Du Lang, everyone's clothes have been taken off, so they can't be put on again.

It is said that I will rebel against the change and will take the emperor to make the princes? You are really blind.

You look down on me too much!

...

Capital.

Emperor Yongde greeted Dubian with unprecedented etiquette.

He led three princes, and hundreds of civil and military officials went out to meet him thirty miles away, followed by two thousand imperial soldiers and thousands of people in the capital.

This etiquette is unprecedented.

Du Bian's army is getting closer and closer.

The civil and military officials stared at the headed Duke Du Bian, and wanted to see whether he would be domineering after he made such a great contribution?

When he was still a hundred meters away from the emperor, Du Bian got off his horse and walked quickly toward the emperor. When he came to the emperor, he immediately lifted his robe and bowed three times.

"The minister pays homage to your majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Before he got down on his knees, Emperor Yongde desperately held Du Bian and refused to let him kneel down.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yongde bowed towards Du Bian and said, "On behalf of the ancestors of the Ning clan, I would like to thank the Duke Du Bian for his great grace. The officials kneel down and thank Duke Du Bian for his grace to save the country."

Suddenly, the civil and military officials behind the emperor, including the three princes, knelt down toward Du Bian neatly, and said loudly, "Thank Du Bian, Duke Kuang and Fu Sheji.

Du Bian hurriedly returned the gift and immediately helped the three princes up.

This etiquette is even too high.

Then, Emperor Yongde said: "Du Bian listened to it!"

"I canonized Du to become the prince and Taifu, I respect this!"

Du Bian kowtowed: "The minister thanked the Lord Longen."

Immediately afterwards, a great **** stepped forward and unfolded an imperial decree, saying loudly: "Du Bian took the decree."

"The emperor Fengtian carried on the emperor's edict and said that the canonization of Du became the king of Zhenxi, and this!"

Then, hundreds of eunuchs in the team played various instruments, and the drums rang together.

Crack the earth to seal the king? !

Du Chang was shocked.

The civil and military officials were shocked!

Even the king?

In the history of the Daning Empire, there has never been a king with a different surname.

At this time, history was broken on Du Bian, and Emperor Yongde did not say hello to the officials in advance.

Of course, if the emperor had said hello, the officials would definitely stop it. Because they feel that once the king is sealed, the next situation may be irreversible.

And now the imperial edict has been publicly read out, and it can no longer be restored.

Emperor Yongde looked at Du Bian with a smile and said, "King Zhenxi, take the order!"

Du Bian said: "The Daning Empire does not grant kings of the opposite sex, and the ministers dare not accept it. Please take back the imperial decree."

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials were overjoyed, and Du Bian was finally sensible.

Emperor Yongde said: "How can I take it back?"

Du Bian said: "The minister really dare not take it."

Emperor Yongde said: "Don't the officials kneel down and see the King of Zhenxi?"

Suddenly, the civil and military officials once again knelt down and knelt toward Du Bian neatly and said: "The minister pays homage to His Royal Highness Zhenxi King!"

Emperor Yongde said: "King Zhenxi, if you don't take the order, the officials will probably not be able to get up."

Du Bian still said: "The minister is ashamed and dare not accept it."

Emperor Yongde said: "If the officials kneel down and worship, the King of Zhenxi cannot accept the decree, so I can only personally ask you to accept the gift of the King of Zhenxi. It is said that the merits are not rewarded, and I will never believe it. Aiqing has made an amazing contribution, how can I be stingy with the reward of the king. Although the ancestors did not have the history of making kings with different surnames, there is no such credit as Aiqing in the ancestors. So Aiqing is completely named the king of Zhenxi As it should be."

Then, Emperor Yongde bowed in front of his officials and said: "Please Aiqing accept the reward of the king, otherwise I can't afford it."

The officials were stunned.

Thousands of people who came to watch the ceremony were stunned.

His Majesty Yongde is such a courteous corporal, even surpassing the first emperor.

Although Du Bian didn't really value this king's reward, he couldn't refuse it at this time.

"The minister thanks the Lord Longen." Du Bian kowtowed.

Suddenly, the officials and thousands of people knelt down and proclaimed: "Long live your majesty, long live long live."

"The King of Zhenxi, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

Then, Emperor Yongde said: "Please get on the horse by the king of Zhenxi, and I will personally lead the horse into the capital for you."

Du Bian bowed and said, "Your Majesty must never, never."

In the end, both sides stepped back, the emperor rode in the yellow crown, and Du Bian rode to the side to **** him.

A group of officials walked behind, the imperial forest army guarded them and entered the capital with great strength.

Entering the capital, Du Huan was caught in a sea of ​​fanaticism.

The emperor organized hundreds of thousands of people to welcome the change. At every intersection, every street, every window, there were countless people cheering.

"Empire ZTE!"

"Empire ZTE!"

"Master Du Bian, Lord Marquis Bandai!"

"Long live the Daning Empire, long live, long live!"

This grand welcome ceremony is unprecedented!

Emperor Yongde gave Dubian the highest honor ever in the Daning Empire.

This is probably the highest honor of being a courtier for hundreds of years.

...

Du Bian really didn't think about making a king.

In his opinion, the dukes can be divided into several classes, and even the first-class dukes can be canonized as national dukes.

However, he did not expect that Emperor Yongde directly conferred him a king, and in front of the officials and countless people, he gave him the highest etiquette and honor unprecedented.

Say something without conscience.

This will bring a certain passivity to Dubian, and the subsequent negotiations will fall into passivity.

After a day of celebration, Du Bian accompanied the emperor to Taimiao to worship the ancestors and worship the heaven and earth.

In the afternoon, the two went to the tomb of Emperor Xian, and formally executed Li Yuan's death sentence and began to cut him thousands of times.

Moreover, Emperor Yongde took the first cut by himself!

This shameful traitor finally suffered the most terrible end. In the midst of thousands of swords, he screamed and fainted again and again.

But he couldn't die, because he was hanging with ginseng soup all the time, and he had to endure a thousand dollars to die.

Du Bian bowed towards Li Lianting's tombstone and said, "Old ancestor, I have revenge for you."

Returning to the palace in the evening, Du Bian and the emperor went to visit the empress dowager.

At night, it was finally quiet, and the monarch and ministers could finally speak privately.

In the study room of the palace, only Du Bian and Emperor Yongde were left. The atmosphere was very harmonious and cheerful, as if the previous tension and embarrassment had disappeared without a trace.

"Now that the Liaodong War has ended, please resign from the post of Governor of Liaodong." Du Bian said.

Du Bian took the initiative to resign, which is considered a reward.

The emperor smiled and said, "Quasi! From Aiqing's point of view, who is suitable to take over this position?"

Du Bian said: "Now the Jurchen Empire is dead, and thousands of miles outside the pass have become the territory of our Daning Empire. Therefore, the ministers please merge Liaodongbian Town and Jizhoubian Town into Jiliaobian Town."

Once the two border towns merge, the border town of Jiliao will become the largest defense zone in the Daning Empire and the ultimate military power.

"Quasi." Emperor Yongde said, "Who does Aiqing think is the right governor of this Jiliaobian Town?"

Du Biandao: "The minister asked Princess Ning Xue to take up this post. General Fu Hongbing served as the Shanhaiguan General Soldier and Li Ling as the Shenyang General Guard."

Emperor Yongde paused for a while, and said, "Quasily."

In this way, all the military power from Juyongguan to Shanhaiguan to the entire Liaodong is in the hands of Princess Ning Xue.

Then, the emperor said: "Although the Vana Khanate is a little sluggish, I have to guard against it. Duke Lan Ao of Xuanhua is dead. The governor of Xuanhua Border Town, I think it should not be vacant for too long. I really intend to restart Xuanhua Border Town. , Raising 50,000 soldiers, what does Aiqing think?"

Du Bian said: "This matter, your majesty can be arbitrary."

Emperor Yongde said: "I intend to let the royal family of Rulin Hou be the governor of Xuanhua. How does Aiqing feel?"

One of the royal family of Rulin Hou, one of the nobles of the Daning Empire, his father once served as the governor of Xuanhua, but the defeat of a great war several decades ago, coupled with the failure of the political battle, governor Xuanhua fell into the hands of Lan Ao.

Now that the emperor wants to reactivate this long-lost Marquis of Rulin, it is obvious that the other party will be grateful to him.

Du Bian said: "Your Majesty is wise."

So far, both sides are pretty happy.

Du Bian got the military and political power in Jiliaobian Town, and the emperor got Xuanhua Border Town.

...

The two drank a cup of tea.

The next negotiation is the top priority.

Then, Emperor Yongde smiled and said, "Does Aiqing have any more requirements?"

Du Biandao: "The Southwest New Deal has achieved remarkable results, and the minister intends to spread it to a certain extent."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yongde's expression changed slightly: "Aiqing intends to spread to those provinces?"

Du Bian said: "Sichuan and Hunan."

Suddenly, the emperor's face changed drastically!

For a long time, the emperor reluctantly smiled and said: "Aiqing, this is a bit inappropriate. You have been living in the three provinces in the southwest, and even the fief of Wangjue is completely enough. Those kings of the Ning family are nothing but one. The territory of a state and a county."

Du Bian bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers want Sichuan and Hunan provinces not for their own desire for power, but for the Daning Empire, and for the upcoming battle with the United Kingdom of the East."

The emperor was silent.

Du Bian continued: "According to Fang's plan, it is intended to use the Jurchen Empire to destroy the entire north of the Daning Empire, and then Jin Taiji will proclaim the emperor in the Forbidden City. In this way, the Eastern United Kingdom will have the righteousness to carry out the Northern Expedition to expel it. The Tartars restored the name of the Han people, let the King Yan of Nanjing ascend the throne and become the orthodox of the Daning Empire, taking the opportunity to complete the act of stealing the country.

Emperor Yongde remained silent.

Du Bian said: "However, the conspiracy of the Fang family has completely failed, and the Jurchen Empire has been destroyed by the ministers. The taxes and grains of the southern provinces will no longer be transported into Beijing. The tragedy of water transport will be cut off at any time. Repeatedly. After the ministers in Sichuan and Hunan, even if they go by land, there will be enough food to supply the capital and the north."

The emperor said lightly: "Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces have good weather this year, and there may be a bumper harvest."

The implication is that the demand for food in the southwest is no longer large, and Du Bian’s reason does not make sense.

Du Biandao: "According to the strategy of the Eastern United Kingdom, we have always wanted to use political means to solve the problems of the Daning Empire. But now we have won a complete victory, so the next minister’s southwest may face a military attack from the Eastern United Kingdom. All-round strikes from land to sea."

"This time may be a few months or even shorter. This decisive battle with the Eastern United Kingdom may come sooner than we thought." Du Bian said: "The strength of the Eastern United Kingdom is no longer necessary to explain. Compared with him, the Jurchen Empire is nothing more than an impenetrable barbarian. Only when Sichuan and Hunan are controlled, the southwest of the minister is a complete area, and it will not be attacked by enemies."

This is the big truth. It is guaranteed to win Hunan's grain, and to enter the Jiangnan base camp that can attack the Fang system. Retreat can also defend the Southwest.

Not to mention the Sichuan Basin, with a huge population and land.

Only those territories of Hunan, Sichuan and Dubian have a complete offensive and defensive system, have enough population to fight against the Eastern United Kingdom, and have enough depth.

But now Sichuan and Hunan provinces have been controlled by officials sent by Emperor Yongde.

In the eyes of the emperor, these two provinces were his territory.

The emperor said: "Now Sichuan and Hunan provinces are all loyal to our Daning Empire. The King of Zhenxi does not have to worry about being attacked by the enemy."

Du Bian said, "Your Majesty, don't you understand the virtues of those local officials? When the fight really started, these governors and general soldiers surrendered one after another, and then stabbed the minister in the back. In order to save the great For the Ning Empire, in order to fight a decisive battle with the Eastern United Kingdom, the minister really needs to personally control the two provinces of Sichuan and Hunan."

Emperor Yongde said indifferently: "King Zhenxi, if I didn’t guess wrong, then the strategy of the Great Yan Kingdom of the Li family was also to win Sichuan and Hunan. Only if these two provinces were taken, the Kingdom of the Li family was complete. How does Aiqing's strategy coincide with the Li's Great Yan Kingdom?"

This is the language of the heart.

Du Bian's expression changed, and he said, "Your Majesty, are you saying I want to rebel?"

Emperor Yongde said: "I didn't say that."

Then the emperor trembled with excitement and said: "Du Bian, you have made great contributions. But the reward for you is not low, right? The ancestors of the Daning Empire did not grant kings, so I gave you the grant. Give you back an unprecedented honor. You want the military power of Jiliao Border Town, and I have also given it. It can be said that the entire palace and even my life are in your hands, and the military power of the capital is in your hands. What else can you do? fulfilled?"

Du Bian said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't forget that Princess Ning Xue is not only my wife, she is also your sister. If you don't believe me, don't you believe her?"

The emperor said loudly: "King of Zhenxi, go and look at the map for yourself. Eastern Liaoning belongs to you. The thousands of miles of grasslands of the Wadan Khanate are also yours, and the military and political power of the border town of Jizhou is also yours. , The three southwestern provinces are also yours. Half of the entire Daning Empire is yours, and your territory is already larger than that of Fang. Why do you want our Sichuan and Hunan provinces? Don’t you think it’s too greedy?"

Suddenly, Du Bian was completely speechless. After taking down Liaodong, he would never interfere with all the civil powers.

He didn't even get involved in the economic and political power of the entire North, only the army stationed in the north to defend against the possible landing of the United Kingdom in the East.

Du Bian sternly said: "Your Majesty, now that the entire north is empty, if I don't garrison, would I give up the entire Liaodong? Give it to the Eastern United Kingdom and give it to the Vana Khanate?"

Hearing these words, the emperor was furious.

He felt that Du Bian was slapping him, mocking him as the emperor did not have a soldier in his hands.

"King of Zhenxi, you think you are a great loyal minister." The emperor said angrily: "But how can any loyal minister ask the monarch for the territory of two provinces? And if half of the territory of the Daning Empire is collected, which loyal minister will persecute himself The monarch?"

Du Bian said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants Sichuan and Hunan, is it for himself? Isn't it for the great cause of the empire?"

"The King of Zhenxi, when the Jurchen Empire was going to take down Shanhaiguan, I never thought about running, because I was not afraid of death, and the king would die. Now I dare to hand over the military power of the capital to you, and dare to sacrifice my wealth and life. Hand it to you, it proves that I am not afraid of death." The emperor said directly: "The King of Zhenxi, if you want Sichuan and Hunan provinces, you can get it yourself. I can't give it to you!"

"Even, my life is here, you can come and get it anytime you want!"

Looking at the stubborn Emperor Yongde, his thin face was full of absolute will, and his eyes were full of sternness.

Du Bian suddenly remembered Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Sizong.

Two people are the same smart, the same stubborn, the same narrow-minded, the same self-sufficient.

They have deep thoughts, but they are extremely self-willed, unable to control their tempers, and can't hide their words.

Moreover, they really are not afraid of death.

He felt that he had done his best to Du Bian, and the honor and reward given to Du Bian was no less than that of the first emperor.

However, Du Bian was still not satisfied, and even stretched out his hands to Sichuan and Hunan provinces. How greedy?

However, Du Bian didn't value this Zhenxi king at all. What he valued was the next battle with the Eastern United Kingdom. What he needed was Sichuan and Hunan, and what he needed was a complete defense system.

In the eyes of Emperor Yongde, Du Bian was for his own desire for power and for expansion.

The three views of the two sides are too far apart and cannot be bridged.

"The minister retire!" Du Bian bowed and left ~lightnovelpub.net~ When he walked out of the palace gate, Emperor Yongde said: "The King of Zhenxi, before you make any decisions, I hope you think about what the first emperor has done to you. Ende, you must think about the source of drinking water."

The emperor did not say a word.

Once you Du Bian really sent troops to capture Sichuan and Hunan provinces, then you would be the rebels and thieves of the Daning Empire. Everyone would be punishable.

At this time, a mysterious figure appeared behind the emperor.

This person, Du Bian had never seen him, even most people had never seen him, a great master-level powerhouse who almost never showed up.

His voice was very low, and he pierced into the emperor's ears, saying: "Your Majesty, Du Bian is alone at this time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is better to take the opportunity to capture him to avoid future troubles."
