Seeing this majestic Forbidden City, Hao Fenglou felt like he was already far away.

He also understood that in fact, this trip to Beijing was not easy, because on the surface, he returned in triumph this time, but in fact, it was not the case. Behind this glamorous, there were actually many hidden worries.

The only thing Hao Fenglou is that when his son was Yongle. When Emperor Yongle was still King Yan, he had made great achievements. Among the kings, his military achievements were the most prominent. After that, with the power of a city in Beiping, he launched an army to fight against the world's army and horses. In the end, he killed Jinling City like a miracle and determined the world.

In fact, no matter who is, in front of him, it will inevitably be overshadowed. Because of this, no matter how many of Hao Fenglou's military achievements are, it is a bit far-fetched to cover up Yongle's light. At least in the eyes of the world, Hao Fenglou made great contributions to Jiaozhi and Siam. Although he made great contributions, he was bullying the small one after all. Jiaozhi and Siam were finally barren lands and no one looked down upon them. Even in the Battle of Beijing, it was just defending the city and gained a lot of advantages in offense and defense. Therefore, although Hao Fenglou made great contributions, he really wanted to compare, at least in the eyes of others, he was only a Mu Ying, and he would never be comparable to Dangjinzi.

But now... Judging from the news from the Shenwu Guard and Jinyi Guard, it seems that many people are already ready to move and want to give Hao Feng an eye drop.

The power of the Hao family's Jiaozhi is indeed growing. On the surface, the officials of Jiaozhi are chieftains appointed by the court, but those chieftains are completely bound by the Hao family, both politically and economically. Therefore, although the Hao family cannot mobilize those chieftains, at most they are just the power of supervision over those chieftains, but their control cannot be underestimated.

Because of this, some sinister arguments began to appear in the court, talking about the fact that there was no Hao family, no Jiaozhi, and no Siam. For the long-term stability of southern Xinjiang, such praise and killing did not have much effect from the rewards of the palace's spies. The emperor did not agree with this. Although Yongle was suspicious, he was a hero of a generation after all, so how could he be so fooled? What's more, Hao Fenglou was usually defensive and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

But Hao Fenglou understood that some people would like to pick themselves up and provoke disagreements. On the other hand, they were afraid that they would become the King of Siam, who would always be in charge of Siam, and borrow a Siam to trap themselves. Since Hao Fenglou was granted the title of the vassal king, there was naturally no need to stay in the capital. The commander of the Jinyiwei obviously had no possibility of continuing to stay. In this way, they fulfilled their wish and gained full control of the two capitals and fourteen provinces with just a few Siam. No matter how you look at this transaction, it seems that it will not lose.

This transaction will not lose any loss no matter how you look at it.

But what should I do...

Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes, finally got out of the sedan chair and walked into the door opening of the Meridian Gate.

I must not leave the capital for the time being. This is the center of the world and this place determines the future. In any case, Hao Fenglou must stay.

When he arrived outside the warm-up hall, Hao Fenglou took a deep breath and stepped in.

"Wei Minister..."

Hao Fenglou did not see clearly, so he started to salute directly.

After only two words, he had a burly body in front of him and helped him up: "No need to be polite, haha... I have waited for you for a long time, but I didn't expect that you were so late, so I made me wait. Why, I have suffered a lot of hardships along the way. Look at you, you have lost a lot, but you have become more energetic and a little more masculine. Come and sit down and take a break."

Hao Fenglou said that the empress was grateful, so a eunuch brought a Jindun and sat down. Hao Fenglou said, "Your Majesty has a good look, too."

Zhu Di is indeed good. He has become a little fatter and looks even more burly. He is only wearing a autumn shirt and with his hands behind his back, walking a few steps in the warm pavilion, saying, "Is there any difference between the war in Siam and the good news?"

Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "There is no difference, but I am also lucky. Speaking of which, I am really taking a risk."

The reason why Zhu Di praised Hao Fenglou as a loyal minister was the key to the problem. He asked Hao Fenglou to send the King of Siam to Jinling, and Hao Fenglou had only two choices. One was to send troops from Zhenla step by step, which took at least a year and a half. If he was lucky and fought well, he would not have no chance to attack the capital of Siam.

Another option was obviously a bit risky, and he directly sent out a surprise weapon to capture the capital of Siam and take down the Siam king.

It's fine for the former, but the latter's surprise attack strategy is definitely an adventure. With a slight accident, it may lead to the annihilation of the entire army. After all, the surprise attack is an isolated army. On the other hand, the supply is insufficient. If the capital of Siam cannot be taken early, the opponent only needs to strengthen the wall and clear the field, and this lonely army may be trapped and starved to death.

Once the failure is successful, the consequences are extremely serious. Hao Fenglou is now rich and prosperous. If anyone is, he would rather choose a safe solution. After all, the emperor's destiny is of great importance, but no one can make a mistake when advancing step by step. But he chose to take risks, just because Zhu Di's instructions to him? With this alone, Hao Fenglou doesn't have his life, and will die for a long time, and will live up to the sea of ​​fire, and fulfill his mission. The four words of loyalty are truly worthy of it.

Zhu Di is a loyal person. In his opinion, Hao Fenglou is loyal and should not remain indifferent.

Therefore, no matter how many rumors outside, it only increased his disgust and disgust. To a certain extent, the more people who were not in dealing with Hao Fenglou, the more they showed Hao Fenglou's sincerity.

An eunuch came up with tea. Zhu Di took a sip. He seemed very happy. Finally, he pondered for a moment and said, "The ministers made great contributions to the matter in southern Xinjiang. Without you father and son, Jiaozhi would not be able to maintain long-term stability. Now the court has gained new Siam. The Siamese people are more distant from my Ming Dynasty than Jiaozhi. Therefore, someone asked me to add you to the King of Siam and the law of the vassal state. I wonder what you think about this matter?"

Zhu Di said, pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course, you don't have to doubt it, you should speak freely. You have made great contributions this time, and I have made up my mind to give you a reward."

Hao Fenglou thought to himself, it was indeed here. In fact, it was not impossible to be the King of Siam. However, Hao Fenglou's wish was obviously not in this. This was not because he had ambitions, but because the current situation was a concern, the whole body was affected. After all, the Siam King was granted the title of the court. If there was an omission in the fight for the throne, or if the prince ascended the throne, he wanted to take back his life, why should the Hao family resist the will of the new emperor?

Of course, with Lang Son's strength, he may be able to protect himself, but once a war begins, this is definitely not what Hao Fenglou hopes to see.

After pondering for a long time, Hao Fenglou said, "This is a saying that will ruin the country."

"Oh?" Zhu Di seemed to smile, looked at Hao Fenglou with his hands behind his back, and said, "Do you don't want to be a vassal king?"

Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "The vassal king is dominant, and the weak ministers have some of their own selfish thoughts. This vassal king naturally wants to do it."

He is honest. He would rather be a snake head than a dragon tail. No matter how strong the Ming Dynasty is, you will be a minister after all. No matter how unbearable Siam is, as a king, he can do whatever he wants. How happy it is.

Hao Fenglou continued: "But Siam must never establish a king again. It should be included in the borders of our Ming Dynasty. This Siam is the hinterland of the West, facing Jiaozhi in the west and the West in the south. The land is also fertile. If it is cultivated, in time, it will definitely become another fish and rice land in our Ming Dynasty. With such a fertile land, will Your Majesty be willing to give up it?"

Zhu Di frowned. He didn't know much about Siam's situation, but it is said that it is indeed a good place. Like Chameng, the land there is extremely fertile and is indeed very suitable for farming.

Now that Hao Fenglou rejected the Siam throne, he felt it was interesting to him with such an excuse. Hao Fenglou wanted such a good place and insisted on including him in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This guy's loyalty was too much.

Zhu Di said slowly: "What you mean is to imitate the Jiaozhi system, set up chieftains, and manage them. I will issue another order to remove the population, persuade farmers and mulberry trees, and cultivate land, right?"

The reclaiming of Siam and Champa is Hao Fenglou's plan, but there are few Siam people, so there are many borders in Siam. If the emperor can immigrate and encourage a large number of people to go to Siam and Zhenla to cultivate, then in time, it will become a land of fish and rice. Once the court decides to open an immigration channel, it will inevitably not take long to migrate to more than millions of Han people. This will not only solve the problem of the excessive industrial population of Jiaozhi, but also greatly strengthen the control of Siam.

If this is true, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is beneficial for the future. If Hao Fenglou becomes the king, as the king, Hao Fenglou can certainly strengthen contact with the Ming Dynasty, but will his descendants still be the same as himself? As a king, in order to maintain his own nature, no matter which descendant of the Hao family comes to power in the future, he will definitely weaken the influence of the Ming Dynasty and try his best to reduce his dependence on the Ming Dynasty. What else can Siam or Siam have to do with the Ming Dynasty in a hundred years? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
