The imperial court was unable to defeat its naval forces in several sieges and it became a problem for the court. Although Anle Zhai did not belong to the court, it did not harass the people and occupied the mountain as its king.
But emperor Jianing is not a vegetarian emperor, how can he allow others to snore in his bedroom? If he could surrender this time, he would be able to show off his imperial authority and use his 30,000 strong navy to keep the South China Sea bandits in check, so he could kill two birds with one stone!
The same as "how can one snore on the side of a couch?" It is a metaphor for being close to or within one's jurisdiction; often saying that one's own sphere of influence or interests cannot be invaded by others. Doing one thing and getting two benefits at the same time.
The officials felt that the surrender of Anle Zhai was like in all likelihood a success, and they all looked towards the Prince, who was as gentle as a pine and shed a tear of sympathy.
Anle Village was not such a name more than ten years ago, so he called the bandits nest . Back then, the old owner of the fortress was so happy to have a daughter that he changed the name of the village to Anle. A few years ago, the old village owner died and his daughter took over the village owner. She is now more than eighteen years old and is said to be extremely rude, violent and arrogant, and a true female bandit.
The 30,000 sailors for a concubine, looking at the young and green Prince of the imperial court, the crowd really could not figure out the matter or whether the notorious female bandit had gotten a good deal.
"Zhao Qing, this is very important matter, Anle Zhai has the intention to surrender and I see that his a good thing. But the matter still needs the crown Prince's ideas, my son, what do you think...?"
Emperor Jianing lowered his eyes and looked down, his face was smiling but there was something deep under his eyes .
The ministers sighed in their hearts. Your Majesty, if you want the 30,000 navy soldiers who are brave and capable of fighting, just say it. The Crown Prince's approval was also given in a dignified manner. If you don't want to be accused by the world of being fatherless, a happy event at the Prince's East Palace Will be inevitable.
In addition to the ministers who had different ideas, several of the Princes also had the intention of looking at the joke. The Prince was asked to propose a marriage by a female bandit for her beauty in front of the entire court. The Prince had lost a lot of face this time .
"Father, if the Anle Village is faithful to my Great Jing, the 30,000 sailors will be integrated into the general battalion of Sounan. The Anle Village will be disbanded from now on,and this son would like to take a position in the Eastern Palace to welcome Ren Anle to the capital."
Prince Han Ye took a step forward and bowed to Emperor Jianing in reply, with a calm demeanor.
Several old ministers glanced at Emperor Jianing, whose face instantly eased, and secretly praise the crown prince for his beautiful words not only pointing out the condition that Anle Zhai would marry him if they were loyal to the Emperor but also into the Sounan General Battalion which was under his Majesty's control, to show that he had no desire to covet the Anle Zhai naval troops. In this way, the sacrifice of the Prince who willingly lowered himself to marry a female bandit in the person of the crown prince, would have won the heart of the emperor and the people.
