Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 130 King Jing heads south since ancient times!
Go out?
King Jing was confused.

Prince Yu and Concubine Li didn't want happiness to come so suddenly, so they just stood there in a daze.

The Prince of Yu, who was in Zhu Houcong's arms, perhaps felt the joy of his father and mother and started to rejoice too.

"Your Majesty, please tell me where I should go and what should I do with my vassal state within the Ming Dynasty?" Prince Jing Zhu Zaizhen asked with his head down.

"East, West, South, North, anything is fine as long as it is not the territory of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Houcong looked at King Jing with a complicated look and said, "Let's get rid of the vassal state."

It was visible to the naked eye that King Jing's body was shaking violently and he could no longer control his facial expression.

While a person is alive, his fiefdom will be eliminated. This is a punishment only bestowed upon members of the royal family who have committed unforgivable crimes.

King Jing finally understood that his father summoned him back to the capital not to make him the crown prince, but to punish him.

Recalling the triumphant and proud attitude when he first returned to Beijing, he couldn't help but feel dazed and laughed out loud twice.

The smile is uglier than crying, and the laughter is uglier than a night owl.

Hearing that Prince Yu and Concubine Li were frightened, even the Crown Prince lost his joy and hid in Zhu Houcong's arms.

"My son, I obey."

King Jing's voice became hoarse and low, "Father, what can I take away from the Ming Dynasty?"

King Jing did not blame others or lose his composure. Knowing that he had completely lost power and was powerless to change the situation, he chose to ask the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for everything he could get before leaving in a way that was almost begging.

Prince Yu and Concubine Li did not feel the slightest pity for the man's silent and silent performance; instead, they felt terrified.

With such a Ming prince living abroad, Prince Yu thought that even if he ascended the throne as emperor one day, he should not sleep too deeply.

Zhu Houcong looked at Huang Jin, and Huang Jin hurriedly took out the gift from Prince Jing's Mansion.

It was a wooden box.

Concubine Li looked over subconsciously. The robe with 5,000 words on it, which Prince Yu's Mansion sent to congratulate her father on his birthday, was embroidered by her herself. At this moment, her father was wearing it. She was very curious about the gift from Prince Jing's Mansion.

To be more precise, it is the desire to compare that is at work.

The emperor has everything he needs, so what can Prince Jing give that can compare to the care and love she has shown him over the past six months?
Huang Jin opened the lid of the box with both hands, and Concubine Li's eyes immediately widened.

On the yellowed cover of the manuscript, two lines of dark red words were written: "Taishang Daode Zhenjing".

The true scriptures written in blood!

Prince Yu and Consort Li were connoisseurs. This inscription was clearly written with blood from the finger of Zhang Sanfeng when he was 120 years old more than a hundred years ago, when he made a great wish.

Moreover, judging from the thickness of the manuscripts in the wooden box, they were obviously two books. There was no need to guess the other one, which was the "Nanhua Jing" written in blood when Zhang Zhenren wrote the "Tao Te Ching" in blood.

During the Yongle period, Emperor Chengzu Wen sent many people to look for these two things, but they never found them.

The current emperor is obsessed with Taoism. This existence, which can be regarded as a "gift from heaven" in this dynasty, was unexpectedly found by King Jing and presented on the occasion of his birthday.

The gift from Prince Yu’s Mansion was lost, completely lost.

But even with such a gift from heaven, Prince Jing ended up being exiled and his country was abolished. Prince Yu was just shocked, but Concubine Li had more thoughts on it.

The fantasy in my heart that Prince Jing would leave the country and Prince Yu's Mansion would take over the Forbidden City was inexplicably blurred. The emperor's actions did not seem to be paving the way for Prince Yu's Mansion!
King Jing also thought of this, and the gloomy aura on his body suddenly lessened.

still have a chance!

still have a chance!

The emperor didn't drive him away from the Ming Dynasty because of his third brother. It was more like a training experience when his father drove him out of the capital to become a vassal last year.

If he can return after gaining experience and satisfy his father, the throne will surely be his!

"This gift was originally given by you. Now take it back and exchange it for some silver and other things. I will allow you to select a thousand elite soldiers from the three major camps in the capital to facilitate your work outside the country." Zhu Houcong spoke.

One thousand elite soldiers from the Beijing camp.

Although the Beijing Army's military strength has declined, as the first force guarding the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it still maintains a good combat effectiveness.

If these people were thrown into the battlefield in the northern border, they might not play much of a role, but if they were moved to another place, they would be extraordinary.

No matter whether King Jing leads these thousand elite troops east, west, or south, as long as he does not act recklessly, he will surely achieve some achievements.

Just like the Song Dynasty army, they might not be able to defeat the Jin and Yuan cavalry, but when facing other enemy forces, such as the Khitan, they could defeat them.

At this time, King Jing had no negative emotions except for being disappointed. He raised his voice a little, "Thank you, father!"

In such a short period of time, King Jing had figured out the direction to move forward.

The North is not mentioned.

To the east of the Ming Dynasty, there were only the Goryeo Dynasty and Japan. Goryeo, which bordered the Ming Dynasty, had been relatively docile for many years, so there was no need to conquer it.

As for Japan, I heard that it is quite chaotic. If we take people there, we can kill a lot of people and make great achievements, but it is too small.

An island country is an island country after all. It has too many limitations and will stop developing after a certain level. It is separated from the Ming Dynasty by the ocean, which brings many inconveniences.

Besides, King Jing had no interest in those short Japanese.

King Jing had talked with those traveling merchants to the west of the Ming Dynasty. Yilibali, which bordered the Ming Dynasty, was easy to deal with, but the Mughal Empire to the west was too big for King Jing to cause trouble.

If north, east and west are not suitable, then you can only go south, or southwest.

As early as during the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu Gao established three Xuanfu Si, namely Nandian, Ganya, and Luchuan Pingmian, and six Xuanwei Si, namely Mubang, Mengyang, Myanmar, Babaidadian, Cheli, and Laos, under the Yunnan Provincial Administration Commission of the Ming Dynasty.

During the Yongle period, three Xuanwei offices were established: Diwula, Daguci and Dimasa.

In the third year of Xuande, a geopolitical earthquake occurred, and the former site of Luchuan Pingmian Xuanfu Si was changed to Longchuan Xuanfu Si in the eleventh year of Zhengtong, thus forming the "Three Xuans (Xuanfu Si) and Six Weis (Xuanwei Si)".

The Three Xuans and Six Wei were all chieftains. Their superiors were hereditary leaders of local tribes or regimes. They were self-governing internally, but had to bear the "conscription and tribute" and "taxes" of the imperial court economically, and the local soldiers had to accept the dispatch of the Ming court.

However, the emperor is far away and the sky is high, so troubles are easy to occur in that wild land. When chieftains rise, others fall. The rising chieftains must rise by stepping on the bones of the fallen chieftains.

The Ming Dynasty court had very weak control over the Three Xuans and Six Wei, especially during the Xuande period, when Emperor Xuanzong gave up many territories, even the direct rule of Annan, and recognized Annan's independent status, maintaining only a vassal relationship in name only with the Ming Dynasty court.

King Jing had studied the territory of the Ming Dynasty and was aware of his father's enthusiasm for trade with the West. He was surprised to find that if the Three Xuan and Six Wei and Annan returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the ships of the Ming Dynasty would no longer have to pass through the several island countries in the southern ocean. They could directly connect with the West from the Southwest and Indochina peninsulas, which would have many benefits.

King Jing is determined to reclaim the ancient Ming Dynasty territory on behalf of his father!
