Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 584 The Right Choice
Zhu Yunying can probably guess what Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan are thinking, but Zhu Yunying doesn't necessarily need to pay special attention to what they are thinking.

For Zhu Yunying, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty first, and then the "second generation leader" of the old Zhu family. Of course, Zhu Yunying is very clear about the distinction between primary and secondary.

Therefore, in terms of some systems and policy planning, Zhu Yunying does not necessarily seem to be so oriented toward the clan.He needs to think more long-term, not just thinking about the immediate things, but more about the long-term and the future.

Looking at Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan, Zhu Yunying said seriously, "Emperor uncles also know that if they want to establish a country in Koryo, it must be a vassal state of our Daming Fan. To be honest, the kingdom of no conquest created by the emperor's grandfather in the early years, we It is not recognized."

Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan felt even worse. They were both princes, but they didn't talk about getting in touch with some important national affairs. If they glanced at the court for a while, they might be severely reprimanded by Lao Zhu.

But their nephew is fine, don't talk about participating in the court affairs.Even Emperor Hongwu, who was wise, mighty and domineering, sometimes had to consider Zhu Yunying's opinion and changed some of the policies that had been formulated.

Leaving aside the matter of the vassal king, the country that was not conquered back then was also revoked. This is all a good thing Zhu Yunying did.

This is the one who doesn't follow the rules in Lao Zhu's family. Lao Zhu's eccentricity is undisguised, and Lao Zhu's requirements and expectations for Zhu Yunying are indeed extraordinarily high.Or maybe it was because of Zhu Yunying's performance that Lao Zhu doted on Zhu Yunying so much.

Zhu Yunying looked at Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan, and said, "Emperor uncles also know that when they think about it, Koryo has often expanded outwards during the war in the Central Plains. Let's not talk about the past, but they wanted to You should have heard about the attack on Tieling Guard. Li Chenggui and his son's plot to usurp the throne is also related to this."

Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan naturally knew that Goryeo, which was originally thought to be a small foreign country, had always been restless.

In the early years, he flirted with Meng Yuan, and even after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were still many pro-Yuan forces in the court of Goryeo.

The Central Plains imperial court seems to look down on Goryeo, but they also understand that once the strength of the Central Plains imperial court declines, then Koryo will be ready to move. In fact, they have always had a lot of expectations for the land in the Northeast.

At this time, Zhu Chun said, "Your Majesty, if you are guarding Goryeo, you must follow the rules. After all, you are a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally you must strictly abide by the court's laws."

Zhu Yunying smiled, and said to Zhu Chun, "Uncle Eleven, we are naturally relieved of you. It's just that it's hard to say whether our descendants will take our words seriously. The reason why we say this now , you also know it in your heart."

In fact, once some words are said too clearly, it may not be a good thing, the main reason is that each other will feel more embarrassed.

Naturally, Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan didn't need to worry too much. They knew how powerful the Ming court was, and they also knew the abilities of Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu.

Since Daming was able to destroy the complete Goryeo and then set up two vassal states, it can naturally continue to destroy those dishonest vassal states. This is not surprising, because Daming has such absolute strength.

But who knows if the emperors after the Ming Dynasty are all wise, who knows whether the power of the Ming Dynasty will always be strong?

Furthermore, if Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan founded the country in Goryeo, they would naturally recognize the identity of the Ming clan, and they would also feel proud from the bottom of their hearts that they were descendants of the Zhu family.

But in the future, once they found a country in Korea, their descendants' sense of belonging to Daming will definitely become more and more indifferent.At a certain point, seeing the decline of the Ming Dynasty, maybe the descendants of Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan wanted to expand to the northeast.

It is even very possible that in order to unify Goryeo, the descendants of Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan will attack each other, and even attack Busan Sanwei and so on.

This is not an exaggeration, the main thing is that there are some things that everyone understands, but it is not suitable to say it on such an occasion.

Looking at Zhu Chun, Zhu Yunying said earnestly, "Uncle Huang also knows that if he wants to come, the imperial army has already taken Hamgyong, Pyongan, Hwanghae, and Gangwon among the eight Goryeo provinces, most of which are also under the control of the imperial court."

Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan naturally knew this, not to mention their clans who were looking forward to going to Korea to become king, even ordinary people have heard of these things, this is a proof of the military prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and it is naturally worth it. preach.

"It's just that over there, it is also relying on Jianzhou Jurchen and Savage Jurchen. After all, these Jurchen are restless and often harass Liaodong." Zhu Yunying said seriously, "If you go there now, on the one hand, you must govern Korea and win the hearts of the people. It is to attack the Jurchen Tripartites."

At this time, Zhu Chun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent thing is to win the hearts of the people. The perverse actions of Li and his son have aroused the anger of heaven and the people, and this is the best time to win the hearts of the people."

Zhu Quan was not humble at this time, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I think that to deal with non-subjects, I should be overbearing. Most of those barbarians don't know how to be kings and only respect power."

Zhu Chun's meaning is obvious. His meaning is to stabilize the rule and govern the country first. As long as the national strength is developed, it will naturally mean that he has more initiative. These are also the parts he is good at.

After all, he also has some experience in Shu, and Zhu Chun also knows what he is good at, and he knows where his advantages lie.So if he is allowed to go to Koryo to found the country, it must be to manage the land of his foundation in an orderly manner, instead of going to war everywhere immediately.

But Zhu Quan didn't think so. He had a great enthusiasm for leading troops to fight. If he could join forces with the imperial army, he was also confident to achieve greater results.

Although the current Jurchen Tripartites are quite a headache, everyone knows that the Jurchen Tripartites are actually "savages", and their strength is actually not worth mentioning. Li Chenggui and his son did not attack the Jurchen Tripartites in the early years. Or lure the Jurchen Tripartite out of the jungle.

Whether it is Zhu Quan or Zhu Chun, they are also talking about their "government philosophy" at this time, and they want to be able to persuade Zhu Yunying.

Zhu Chun's meaning is naturally to recuperate, and the most important thing is to develop steadily.This is what he is good at, and he also feels that such a view is actually more suitable for troubled times. Isn't the current Goryeo a troubled world.

But Zhu Quan was different. He never doubted his ability to lead troops to fight.As long as he shared his worries for the court, it naturally meant that he would have a greater chance of going to Koryo to enshrine the country, which was his major concern.

In fact, for these things, it is natural that the public says that the public is right and that the woman is right. Whether it is Zhu Chun or Zhu Quan's ideas, they are actually reasonable, and they all seem to have a certain degree of truth.

It is perfectly normal to govern the country, regain the hearts of the people, and stabilize one's own country. This seems to be a very safe approach, and it is almost impossible to find any faults.

It's just that the current situation is a bit special. In the feudal kingdom of Koryo, it was also backed by the Ming court.

This naturally means that at the beginning, Da Ming's support must be obtained. To help Da Ming solve some troubles, this is the real correct attitude, and this can also make Da Ming feel at ease to seal off the country outside.

So if we want to say that there is absolutely no right or wrong, we can only say that the most important thing is to choose the one that seems suitable and in line with Daming's interests, and this is indeed Zhu Yunying's starting point.

It is only in line with some interests of Daming, and it may not be in line with the interests of the vassal state, and this also needs to be discussed carefully.

This matter is really troublesome, because no matter what, it seems that there is actually no absolutely correct way, and there is nothing that seems so-called perfect, so we can only choose a slightly more appropriate way.

Looking at Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "We let the two emperor uncles enter the palace today, in fact, we are thinking that if the two emperor uncles are interested, and if Koryo is defeated, we will let the two emperor uncles enter the palace." Uncle founded the country there."

Zhu Yunying directly gave the hole card, which can be regarded as the answer to the mystery, which undoubtedly excited Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan.

Even if there were some guesses before, they were just guesses after all, and my heart was a little up and down.

But now that he finally got a clearer answer from Emperor Yingshi, of course he is looking forward to it even more.For them, the thing to do now is to truly grasp such an opportunity, and they must not miss it.

Goryeo is definitely a pretty good place around Daming. In the eyes of many clans, the first choice of feudal lands is actually Goryeo. In the eyes of clans, those places are more attractive than Dongpu and Nanyang. .

Goryeo may seem remote, but in the end it also has a good foundation of Chinese civilization.Although it is a bit cold, it is not really a place of bitter cold, but the winter may be a little longer and colder.

If it was Annan's side, it would be the so-called miasma.In the past, people thought that Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Lingnan were all smoky places.On Annan's side, he naturally felt that it was getting worse and worse.

Moreover, Nanyang seems to have been influenced by some Han civilization, but the influence is not particularly large, at least not as good as Japan and Korea.

Undoubtedly, Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan meant to seize the opportunity. They seemed to be the most suitable candidates in Zhu Yunying's eyes. They had the opportunity to start their own business.

As for getting Da Ming's support among them, there is nothing to be ashamed about.Emperor Yingshi was able to sit on the dragon chair because of Emperor Hongwu. Everyone was thankful for having a powerful father and grandfather. They all "sit back and enjoy what they get", which of course means that each other can feel at ease.

At most, the one who became the emperor got almost all the family property.And those who are concubines don't need to worry, even if it's just some small benefits, it's a wealth that ordinary people can't even imagine.

Zhu Yunying was in a pretty good mood. Seeing the undisguised excitement and expectation of his two uncles, Zhu Yunying knew that some of his decisions and some of his arrangements were very attractive to the clan of the Ming Dynasty. They are all gearing up.

For some things, there is no need to give an answer right away, to give some sweetness, to give some hope, so that Zhu Yunying can continue to control the matter calmly.

Who made him the emperor? The emperor who holds great power does indeed have more initiative in many matters. It can be said that he is full of confidence, and there is no need to worry about too many moths.

As for Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan's itching in their hearts now, it has nothing to do with Zhu Yunying. Now we need to see which of these two is more upright, and we need to see their determination and courage.

Of course, Zhu Yunying is also very clear that Zhu Yunying does not necessarily need to follow his ideas, but also needs to consider some overall situation, the most important thing is the overall situation.The choice of two suitable vassal state leaders on the Koryo side cannot be sloppy.

Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan had something on their minds, so they were naturally unwilling, but the emperor didn't want to talk more now, so they could only leave obediently. In the next period of time, they will definitely pay more attention to this matter .

Zhu Yunxie was also smiling at this time, because he saw more possibilities, and he saw more opportunities to go to the emperor's uncles to gain some benefits.

Don't say that His Highness King Wu just collects money and doesn't do anything. He can still do things. King Wu's reputation can be restored a little bit at this time.

"Just stare at Uncle Shu and Uncle Ning, and don't go to other uncles." Looking at his worried younger brother, Zhu Yunying reminded, "You, don't make us worry all the time, this one Everyone thinks that we, the older brothers, can't even teach the younger brother well."

Zhu Yunxi didn't care either, and said with a smile, "Brother Huang, no one dares to say such things. We also know it well, we don't dare to really commit crimes even if we do a little evil. Even if you don't punish us, sister Huang will also punish us." .”

This time Zhu Yunxie also laughed, because he knew that Zhu Yunxie was right, his imperial sister was quite reliable.

Since this is the case, Zhu Yunying will not say anything more, just let King Wu leave obediently, Zhu Yunying still has other things to do.

After the three princes left, Lao Zhu appeared with little Zhu, "Is it true that Yunxi is not allowed on the other side of Goryeo? That's a good place, and it's a good thing to give it to Yunxi. He doesn't make progress. You press him to grow up. If he can’t do it, you can help him, and he will be more stable in the future.”

Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Everyone has his own aspirations, this is his choice, so we can't blame us for not giving him a chance. What's more, our uncles, our Zhu family's children, are too promising, there is no need for Zhu Yunxi Get the ducks on the shelves!"
