Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1048 Lao Dao
"Okay!" Zhu Zhen cheered, and smiled at Dao Kan: "You don't have to wait for the future, I have missions now."

"Please give me the prince's instructions." Dao Kan secretly smiled bitterly.

"You just said that Silun was violent and annexed places, and was unpopular. He has suffered for a long time because of the various tribes in Yunnan, right?" Zhu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, absolutely true."

"Well, when you go back, contact the leaders of the various ministries who were deprived of the position of chieftain by Luchuan, and report all those who have enemies with them." Zhu Zhen paused and said: "As long as they are willing to change their ways and return to the Ming Dynasty, all will be counted. Credit to you!”

"If they secretly take refuge in Ming Dynasty, they will all be willing..." Dao Kan said softly.

"What does it mean to be secretly?" Zhu Zhen said dissatisfied: "Will you continue to be loyal to Silunfa in the Ming Dynasty? How do I know if they are betting on both sides? I have already said that what I want is the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. , you are not a faggot who will fall when the wind strikes!"

"Yes, the prince is right. It's just that those chieftains are not strong enough. If they openly oppose the Si family, they will inevitably be destroyed."

"The strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and the rough and sway sees the loyal ministers. This is the time to test their courage and loyalty." Zhu Zhen put a high hat on Dao Kan and said: "Just like you, Lao Dao, knowing that Silun Fa will be angry, isn't this right? Are you still coming to Kunming to meet with me?"

"Yes, the old minister was born as a Ming Dynasty man and died as a Ming Dynasty ghost. And he also has a certain ability to protect himself. If you break up with the Si family, you will break up." Daokan sighed softly: "But most chieftains don't have that strength and will die. It’s very miserable.”

Of course, if Silunfa felt unhappy, he could still send troops to fight, but then he would be completely unreasonable. In this way, not only would the position enshrined in the Ming Dynasty be preserved, but he would also be labeled as a rebel, attracting a crusade from heavenly soldiers.

Silunfa must consider whether this is a good deal or not. He can no longer hit whoever he wants like before.

"Okay, great!" Zhu Zhen said overjoyed: "If you get the right way, you will get a lot of help, but if you don't get the right way, you will get very little help. Silun will definitely lose now!"

"You, old man, have made great contributions to your hard work. I, the king, must reward you greatly, so I will upgrade the Cheri Mansion to a military and civilian mansion!"

As he spoke, he happily patted Daokan's shoulder, almost breaking Daokan's old bones.

So this is just a delaying tactic.

"I will obey my orders." Daokan thought for a moment and finally accepted this hard task.

"Hahaha, don't worry." Zhu Zhen laughed and reassured Daokan: "Let me tell you the truth, the imperial court has agreed to Na Silunfa's request and canonized him!"

Therefore, the titles conferred by the Ming Dynasty may seem prestigious, but they are actually the golden halters worn by the imperial court on Silun's hair. Until he makes up his mind to break free from this restraint, the damage will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, for Daokan, it can also greatly reduce the difficulty of his task... As long as Silunfa accepts the canonization and the status of the monarch and ministers is certain, the risk for the chieftains to accept the canonization by the court will be much smaller. We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Why can you accept the canonization and I can't? It doesn't make sense.

"That's it..." The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this. Being able to avoid war through canonization was the best thing for them. But then I remembered that the prince had made it clear at the beginning that Luchuan was Yunnan's number one enemy, and he wanted to fight Silun to determine victory or defeat, as well as life and death. '

At least he can make those chieftains who are dissatisfied with him dare to surrender to the Ming Dynasty...

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten your business. The military and civilian mansion is already in the car." Daokan smiled. He wanted to avoid Lao Liu's clutches but didn't dare to hide, so he could only stay close to him.

"Oh, really, then let's be promoted to the Xuanwei Division in the car!" Zhu Zhen waved his hand and finally withdrew his arm.

Dao Kan was blinded immediately. Nazhi and Etao on the side were still envious. The Xuanwei envoy is the highest official position a chieftain can get, and the Xuanwei envoy is much more powerful than the military and civilian government.

The appointments, removals, promotions and demotions of the local magistrates in the Military and Civilian Mansion all depended on the court's whim, but the court would not touch them easily. But after being promoted to the Xuanwei Division, the Xuanwei Envoys not only have greater autonomy, but also have a more stable status. To move them, the Xuanwei Division must first be withdrawn... So it is basically an iron-clad empire.

Moreover, the position given to both of them by the prince was to be a painting teacher, but the position given to Dao Kan was to be a real teacher!
Nazhi drooled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Kan, congratulations to Mr. Kan! You are the first consolation envoy in Yunnan!"

"Yes, Mr. Kan, why don't you thank me quickly?" Otao's main character is loyalty, so he urged Kan to use his sword.

"How can I be so virtuous and capable as an old minister? I really have no face to accept such a high position!" Daokan felt that there was a pit here and didn't want to jump into it.

However, Zhu Zhen slapped him on the shoulder, making him stagger and said: "Xuanwei envoy is not only honor and status, but also responsibility and obligation! In the future, the imperial court will rely heavily on the Dao family, so the car will be promoted to Xuanwei." Weishi is also out of practical considerations, not just a reward. So I cannot refuse."

"Alas..." Daokan heard this and had no choice but to kowtow and thank him.

"Haha, okay. That's right!" Zhu Zhen happily pulled him up from the ground and laughed: "Lao Dao, you are now the number one chieftain in Yunnan. You must set an example and take the lead."

"Hey, yes..." Daokan responded with a forced smile.

~~
After resigning from the palace and returning to the post house, Nazhi couldn't wait to ask Dao Kan: "Master Kan, the prince has appointed you as the ambassador of comfort. This is something that many people can't even dream of? Why are you so reluctant? ?”

"Your Highness is putting me on the fire to roast me." Daokan sighed: "With Silunfa being the number one chieftain in Yunnan, will it be my turn?"

"That's true..." Nazhi nodded and said, "Although he is strong in the car, he is not good enough when compared with Luchuan."

"What are you talking about?" Otao couldn't listen anymore: "Silunfa just has a bigger territory and more soldiers. If he really dares to come and fight in the car, we won't just stand by and watch. We will give our full support. It’s not necessarily who wins and who loses.”

He was most afraid of being beaten by Silunfa, so he used his words to cover up the knife.

But an old fox like Daokan didn't pick up the fight at all, and said to himself: "You said that the prince has granted me the title of comfort envoy, so why would he give it to Silun?"

"I can't be lower than you, unless the court wants to humiliate him." Nazhi said: "If you give him a prefect or a pacifier, how will he accept it? He will definitely not be able to accept it!"

"Yes, the imperial court will probably appoint him as a consolation envoy." Daokan said with a sad face: "When the time comes, there will only be two of us as consolation envoys in Yunnan. What will he think of me?"

"What level do you think you are capable of becoming a consolation envoy like me?" Na Zhi asked.

"You..." Daokan frowned and couldn't help but said angrily: "Although the words may not sound good, that's basically what they mean."

As he spoke, he sighed and said: "Those like Silunfa who competed with their brothers for the throne are very jealous. He will definitely wonder why I can become the ambassador. Did I reach something with the imperial court to target him?" agreement? Or is it because the court wants me to check and balance him? "

"It's possible, very possible." Otao said with deep conviction.

"You think, can he not regard me as a thorn in his side and want to get rid of me quickly?" Dao Kan said with a bitter face: "I can't explain, I can only hold the prince's thigh tightly and fight him to the end. …”
