Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 573

Zhu Yunying is in a good mood, he has ushered in Yingshi for four years.At this time, Zhu Yunying was also 27 years old.

As for Lao Zhu, who is already 74, although he often looks a bit old-fashioned, the old man does occasionally get sick.But now it seems that Lao Zhu is in good health, and this iron man can often run around with his nine-year-old great-grandson.

This is actually a good thing, and it is a good thing for Zhu Yunying.It doesn't necessarily mean that the absence of Lao Zhu makes Zhu Yunying unable to control the court, it's simply because of family affection, Zhu Yunying and Lao Zhu still have a deep relationship.

When Zhu Yunxi arrived at the palace, he went straight to the point, "Brother Huang, this year we have to choose the uncle who will go to Korea. We have received a lot of gifts. If this continues, how will we see the uncles in the future?"

Speechless Zhu Yunying raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, "Since you know you can't do this, then don't accept the gift! Tell yourself, it's plausible that you don't do anything after accepting the gift?"

Zhu Yunxi obviously didn't care, and said, "We just accept gifts from the clan, we don't accept gifts from civil and military officials, we have a sense of proportion!"

This time Zhu Yunxi was even more speechless. Looking at Zhu Yunxi, he asked, "Second brother, shall we still praise you? If you don't accept gifts from all the officials, you are not interfering in the court, which is a good thing. Only accept gifts from the clan, then It's my family, and the one who cheated is also my family?"

Zhu Yunxi didn't seem to understand, and said as a matter of course, "Brother Emperor, who doesn't know that we, the King of Wu, are special. We just don't accept gifts from officials, let alone from common people. Otherwise, let's say something casually. The case has changed course.”

Well, Zhu Yunying also has to say that Zhu Yunxie's words are still reasonable.Although Zhu Yunxie is indeed a bastard and a dandy, compared to many clans, Zhu Yunxie can be regarded as very worry-free.

Zhu Yunxi is just a dandy, he will not be cruel, he will not disturb the people, and he doesn't care about political affairs.

In fact, in Zhu Yunxi's capacity, as long as he said something casually, many people would definitely try to please him.The Ming Dynasty has much better restrictions on the imperial clan's entry into the officialdom, at least it is not as strict as it was in the past few years.Even if it's just some positions that don't seem to have much real power, at least some clans can do things.

The clan really needs to thank Zhu Yunying. Without Zhu Yunying, the clan of the Ming Dynasty would be so-called 'raised as pigs'.With Lao Zhu making a start, coupled with Zhu Di's guilty conscience after he was wronged, it seems that the clan of the Ming Dynasty can only have children.

But it's different now, as a petty official, to do business or something, the clan of the Ming Dynasty can still find something to do if they want to.Especially those bastards, besides the salary of the court, there are other "earnings".

Zhu Yunying didn't know what to say, so don't say anything, he probably knows some things well.

"We can't be in a hurry for the matter on the other side of Korea. We have to choose a suitable clan." Zhu Yunying sighed and said, "Great rivers and mountains are difficult, and governance is even more difficult. You should understand this truth."

Zhu Yunxi understood, so he said in a bad manner, "So we don't go out even if we are beaten to death, just stay in Yingtian Mansion. Let us do things every day, we can't stand it. It's better to eat, drink and have fun, we still like it Be a rich prince."

There is nothing wrong with saying that, probably because people have their own aspirations.There are those who like power, like Zhu Yunying.If there is someone like Zhu Yunxi who likes ease, there is nothing to blame, it is a normal thing.

Although a lot of places have been conquered in Goryeo, it is said that it is now going to be crowned king, which is not a problem.After all, Daming also sent some capable ministers and officials, and they were also managing some of the defeated state capitals.

But everyone also understands that it is really not an easy task to manage those places well.Issues such as folk customs and habits are not solved overnight.Li Chenggui's usurping the throne did dissatisfy many people and officials in Goryeo, but Li Chenggui is also a Goryeo after all, and he also has the same root and origin.

But these people in Daming are naturally outsiders in the eyes of Koreans.Whether it was the Jurchen, Khitan or Mongolia in the past, including the Ming people now, they all look the same to the Koreans, and they are all encroaching on their land.

The Confucian culture in Goryeo is indeed dominant, but many people also understand that Goryeo was defeated several times by the Central Plains Dynasty in history.But they have also resisted the Central Plains dynasty many times, and they are not a vassal state in the true sense.

Many people talk about Goryeo, but if Zhu Yunying hadn't been troublesome, then Li Chenggui would have accepted the canonization of Ming Dynasty, and by then he would be a vassal state.Not only was it a vassal state in the Ming Dynasty, but it was also the same in the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Yunying understood this truth, but she was too lazy to say anything.Although the vassal state is important, especially in the history of Goryeo, it was relatively "heartfelt", and there were also domestic rebel monarchs who went to seek refuge in Daming territory and seek help.

But no matter what, it's better to actually control it in your hands. This place is also more important to Daming.

It is not an easy task to manage these lands well.Especially if you want to establish a vassal state, the difficulty here is undoubtedly greater.Therefore, a capable clan is needed, and Zhu Yunying must choose carefully.

Zhou Wang Zhu Wei seems to be a very good choice, but Zhu Wei has not made up his mind until now.Zhu Yunying still needs to wait a little longer. Speaking of which, Zhu Yun, king of Zhou, is also the closest uncle to Zhu Yunying.

If there is a good thing, it is naturally thinking about people who are closer to him.If it weren't for the fact that his younger brother is really incompetent, maybe Zhu Yunying would have other thoughts.

As for the fact that Zhu Yunxi went to accept the gift, Zhu Yunying was already numb, and felt that his younger brother was really a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

However, this also reflects some things from the side. It also proves that many clans are still very yearning for opening a feudal state. They are also more enthusiastic and expectant about this matter, and they want more opportunities.

This can be considered to have relieved Zhu Yunying a lot. It seems that the overseas closure of the country is not a kind of deprecation in the eyes of the clan, and some people still have some ambitions.

Zhu Yunxi took the tea and asked curiously, "Brother Emperor, what will happen to the Ryukyu side now? If the king of the Zhongshan Kingdom does not enter the court, will our Daming navy really have to go there?"

"That's natural, we have to teach them some lessons." Zhu Yunying smiled, not paying much attention, "Second brother, you have to remember, our Ming Dynasty is strong and strong, so we can naturally act domineeringly. If we always give favors, those People lack fear."

Isn't that what happened? When you entered the court and asked for craftsmen who were good at building sea ships, Daming generously gave them.However, the king of the country has succeeded to the throne, and he didn't report to Daming. Obviously, he didn't take Daming, the suzerain, seriously.

Since Wu Ning of Zhongshan Kingdom doesn't take Da Ming seriously, then Da Ming needs to respond with their tough attitude.

Zhu Yunxi, who was lazily nestled on the chair, asked curiously, "If Uncle Wu doesn't go to Goryeo? Who will go there? On the other side of Goryeo, we heard that there are two kings?"

Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile, and said, "It should be divided into two kings, and there may be more. Jurchen's side is also a troublesome matter. Although Nurgan Dusi is intimidating, it is a barbaric land after all. It's also a hassle."

Zhu Yunxi nodded. Although he didn't care much about military affairs, Zhu Yunxi knew something.

For example, Nurgandusi in the north of Liaodong is a place of bitter cold. It is said that Su Wu herded sheep in that place during the Han Dynasty.As for the Jurchen Tripartites, they have always been indifferent to the Ming Dynasty, and those savages are also dissatisfied with Wang Hua.

But Zhu Yunying, like most Ming people, felt that since even the Mongols had been driven away, the Jurchens would naturally be out of luck.Many people don't look down on those savages.

It also includes that many people think that Emperor Yingshi is too greedy. Many places in Nurgandusi are worthless in everyone's eyes, so it is better to discard them.It's hard not to say that it's difficult to govern, and the wildlings are also a troublesome thing.

But this kind of thing is just to think about it for yourself. If you really dare to say it in the court, you will definitely be reprimanded by the emperor, and you may even encounter some fate such as dismissal from office.

Looking at the lazy younger brother, Zhu Yunying asked with a smile, "Second brother, have you heard that those imperial uncles intend to go to Korea?"

Zhu Yunxie immediately replied, "Seventh Uncle, he was in Qingzhou in his early years, and he also made military achievements. Seventh Uncle also knows that he hated the emperor in his early years, and now he always wants to go to Korea, so it must be lighter."

The king of Qi, Zhu Yu, has a lot of experience and is proud of his martial arts, but his personality does have some cruelty.After Zhu Yunying's "cutting the vassal", Zhu Yu was also depressed in Yingtian Mansion, but he really didn't dare to do anything wrong under the emperor's feet, so he was naturally even more depressed.

Zhu Yunxi also continued to say at this time, "Uncle Eleven seems to have some thoughts. He managed well in Shu in the early years, and he also suppressed the riots of the Western barbarians. If Uncle Eleven can still succeed in the past, he is afraid. Eleven My aunt is the daughter of my uncle and grandfather, so I think more about it."

Zhu Chun, king of Shu, also had a special status. Although he was called a "Shu scholar" by Lao Zhu, he did fully carry forward the Confucian culture in Shu.But he is the son of Concubine Hui Guo, the daughter of King Chuyang Guo Zixing, and his concubine is the daughter of Lan Yu.His second son was carried back to Liang Guogong's mansion happily by Lan Yu, and the entanglement became deeper.

Although he is at home in Yingtian Mansion now, sometimes Zhu Chun still misses his carefree life in Shu.

What's more, Goryeo's inheritance and learning of Confucian culture is also good, and Zhu Chun has some thoughts and ideas that are normal.

Zhu Yunxi continued, "Brother Huang said that he wanted to let the emperor's uncle who had been in the feudal domain go to Korea, and many of the emperor's uncles naturally had thoughts. Even if there were more emperor's uncles who had not been in the feudal domain, all of them were with us. As I said, I want to try it.”

Zhu Yunying smiled and nodded. It seems that although the prince is good, he can enjoy wealth and honor in Daming.It's just that some people think that even if they can't sit on the dragon chair, if they have the opportunity to go to Koryo and become the lord of the country, that's pretty good.

Ordinary clans may still be able to find something to do. In fact, it is difficult for the prince to have real power, and he needs to avoid taboos.It's better to go to Korea. Being the head of the country with the sky high and the emperor far away is much happier than being in Daming.

And many people also know that Goryeo is a good place, and it has a thousand-year history.Even if it is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, it is still the "Little China" praised by many people.

Compared with Japan, Koryo is a place more familiar to everyone, and it can be regarded as one of the best-developed countries around Daming.

"You should continue to accept gifts, and don't blame us if you can't cash them in." Zhu Yunying said with a teaser, "When the time comes, the uncles will trouble you, then don't blame us for not helping."

Zhu Yunxi didn't feel embarrassed either, he just had to choose to pretend to be dead. Anyway, with the protection of the emperor's brother, he was confident.

After dismissing this restless younger brother, Zhu Yunying felt more at ease, although this kid brought some information.But those thoughts are basically news that Zhu Yunying also knows.

Zhu Yunying still continues to do well what she has to do, Ying said that there will still be a lot of things to do in the next four years.Zhu Yunying must take care of the affairs in Korea, and there must be no further delay.

Although Zhu Yunying didn't plan to destroy the imperial food, but concentrated Ming's resources in Korea for a long time, it was definitely not a good thing for Zhu Yunying.For Zhu Yunying, he still has many strategies that need to be implemented.

These are not things that can be sloppy, and Zhu Yunying really does not want to continue to be involved in Korea.

In Yingshi's four years, these problems must be solved, so that he can concentrate on preparing his southward plan and northwest strategy. This is also the focus of Zhu Yunying's concern all the time, and he must not be sloppy.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunying is also confident. After the battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di in history can still conquer Mongolia five times, send troops to Annan, send Zheng He to the West, move the capital to Peking, etc., all of which are extremely costly. .

But this still did not cause civil strife, and the Ming Dynasty was still very strong.But now, there is no battle of Jingnan, and the military strength of the Ming Dynasty is actually stronger.

So Zhu Yunying also understands that even if he does something, he doesn't need to worry about being called militaristic, and he hasn't reached that level yet.Now Zhu Yunying still has enough cards in his hand.

Little Zhu happily ran over and said, "Father, do you want to go out of the palace? If you don't, we and our great-grandfather will take our younger brothers and sisters to watch the lanterns. The great-grandfather also said that he would take my little grandfather and the others."

For Chinese New Year, the atmosphere in the palace is good, and Ying Tian Mansion is even more lively.As for Lao Zhu's underage children, there are still quite a few.
