Chapter 527 How much is a pound of face?
As soon as Shang Yi finished speaking, Cheng Shun immediately said seriously: "Although my Ryukyu is a small country, the Shang family has been dominated by the Shang family. It has been the country's life for three hundred years! The country is young, but the orthodox country is still there. The Ming Dynasty was treated by my sect leader by courtesy. Now the Emperor Yongye treats our country even more generously. He does not act as a small country but is lazy. He promotes rural and commercial, abandons old ills, and restores Beidao. The country's power is booming. Although he is alone overseas, the people are simple and have a great trend in the Central Plains of the ancient times. Whether this matter is true or false, it will not only damage my Ryukyu, but also shame the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Yongye treats us like this. As a subordinate, he will definitely repay him with a scholar. According to my opinion, he should fundamentally eliminate this matter. He begs Emperor Yongye to recall Mr. He and choose another famous teacher to come."
"This..." Cheng Shunze's words made Shang Yi feel moved. Shang Yi is not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning of Cheng Shunze's words.
The Ming Dynasty was a country with a strong country, and the small Ryukyu could not afford to offend the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Emperor Zhu Yicheng? In fact, everyone knew in their hearts what role He Xianzu played in Ryukyu and what was his purpose? These were all lice on the monk's head.
If you want to change this situation, you can only use He Xianzu's personal virtues to splash dirty water on him in this way. In this way, you can drive He Xianzu away without offending the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty recalls He Xianzu, the Ming Dynasty's plan to annex Ryukyu will be interrupted and Ryukyu can also get a chance to breathe.
Furthermore, once He Xianzu left, they could use this matter to attack the young empress dowager and the king, so as to confirm the affairs of the empress dowager and He Xianzu, and thus to take the opportunity to drive Shang Jing off the throne. Isn’t it a big matter to decide when Shang Yi takes over the throne? As for how Shang Yi treats them, these old ministers after he ascended the throne, Cheng Shun was not worried at all. Although Shang Yi was the uncle of the king, he had some thoughts on his daily life, but in fact, Shang Yi was a man with great eyes and no talent. As the king, the government would still be firmly in the hands of his own people. To put it bluntly, he was just a puppet.
Whether it is Cheng Shunze or Jin Zhengyuan, they only value Shang Yi's identity. Compared with the small Shang Jing, Shang Yi is the most suitable candidate in any respect, and is the most important part of this plan.
Only when Shang Yi came forward, as the Uncle Wang, could the Ming Dynasty believe the words of Ryukyu, and the plan to abolish the king and establish a new king is even more closely linked.
As Cheng Shunze and Jin Zhengyuan expected, Shang Yi was a little moved, but Shang Yi was still a little hesitant. He thought what if the Ming Dynasty did not recall He Xianzu in this way? If this result was the case, wouldn’t they not only offend He Xianzu, but also offend the Empress Dowager, Shang Jing and even the Ming Dynasty?
"How can this happen?" Cheng Shunze immediately said seriously: "The Ming Dynasty is the best country, and the Central Plains have always paid attention to reading the books of saints, listening to the words of saints, and practicing the ways of saints. Even if the people cannot tolerate such things, let alone involving major affairs of the two countries? As long as this matter is reported to the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Yongye will naturally agree, and Uncle Wang doesn't have to worry."
Cheng Shun was a great scholar and a scholar who had been to the Central Plains to study. If any of the three people present, Cheng Shun, who knew the most about the Central Plains, was unscrupulous. Besides, Cheng Shunze was right. Such a thing was not a trivial matter under any circumstances, let alone the two countries, especially the empress dowager and king of one of them. If the Ming Dynasty knew about this, even if it was angry, they would have achieved the result they thought for the sake of face. At present, Shang Yi only needed to stand up as a royal family.
"After that being said, now I, Ryukyu, must go through the hands of the Ming Dynasty garrison to express the Ming Dynasty. He Taifu is also in power and has a close relationship with the garrison generals and He Taifu. It is really not easy to do this." At this time, we can see Shang Jing's personality weakness. Although he was willing to do it, he hesitated when the matter was about to come.
"Don't worry about this Uncle Wang." Prime Minister Jin Zhengyuan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "My Ryukyu is now in a prosperous sea trade, and there are many exchanges between the Central Plains. Through other channels, the real situation can be directly handed over to the Emperor Yongye, without being intercepted by villains."
Kim Jong-won's words made Shang Yi's eyes lit up. If this is the case, it would be natural. He nodded repeatedly and said that he could...
The meeting between the three people was discussed until late at night. Shang Yi personally sent the two out of the house, but went to the back door to avoid the leak of the news. But none of them expected that shortly after the meeting between the three people, a detailed record was placed on his desk, not far from them, in He Xianzu's study.
He Xianzu was not a vegetarian for so many days in Ryukyu. Although he was a man of average governance and was greedy for life and fear of death, one should know that he was able to get to the level of a senior official in the Qing court, so he was naturally extraordinary.
In the Ryukyu Kingdom, He Xianzu's rights were not only reflected in the light, but also in the dark. The Jinyiwei was an important means. On the first day of arriving at Ryukyu, the Jinyiwei who assisted He Xianzu had already begun to be arranged. Now the entire Ryukyu is almost under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei. As for Shang Yi, Cheng Shunze, Jin Zhengyuan and others, they were even more important. They didn't know at all. Just when they were discussing in the secret room, their ears had long been hidden in invisible places, and they quietly recorded all of them.
"The frog in the well dares to do this?" After reading the record, He Xianzu suddenly burst into laughter. The conversation between the three seemed to make sense, especially Cheng Shunze's words. If they were in the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, they might have been able to do it, but they forgot that the Ming Dynasty today is completely different from the Ming Dynasty before, and Zhu Yicheng is not the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that Zhu Yicheng would not believe this, even if he believed it? Under the interests, Zhu Yicheng would also laugh it off.
Although He Xianzu was not the one who first started to follow Zhu Yicheng, his understanding of Zhu Yicheng was probably deeper than the ministers in the court. In his opinion, Zhu Yicheng was a person who was not particular about the details and only used the talents, and he only valued the interests of the Ming Dynasty. Before the interests of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called way of being a saint was not worth mentioning at all.
Face? How much money is worth? If Zhu Yicheng wanted face, he would have lost his life when he fell into Yuan Qi's hands, and there would not be such a foundation in the Ming Dynasty. Cheng Shunze was completely stupid in his study and had not seen the foundation of the Ming Dynasty clearly, so he would have made such a fool.
