First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled his son up and said: You don't have to worry about the Mongolian ministries. We have our own arrangements. Goryeo and Japanese pirates will be handed over to you, but you have to distinguish between priorities. The imperial examination and relocation is your focus. As for enfeoffing the kings Things, let’s talk about it when the time comes.”

Zhu Biao got up and nodded: Father is wise, my son will do well.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and let Zhu Biao go out, and then passed Mao Xiang to see him. After a while, Mao Xiang rushed to salute the emperor, and then waited for the emperor's order.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and asked: In the future, pass on the news of Korea and Dongying to the crown prince, and then plan to send some people over there to let them obey the crown prince's orders.

Mao Xiang respectfully agreed, and then prepared to go down to make arrangements, but Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't help but said: The monks are all here, let the prince go and meet for us.

When Mao Xiang retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled, and then continued to deal with the memorial. It is a good thing that his son can worry about the country and the people, and his vision is far-sighted. It's just that he was delayed by the stinky boy for so long. I'm afraid he won't be able to finish it until midnight .

Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he got out of the imperial study. If his father didn't agree, he could just roll around on the spot. If it didn't work, he couldn't help it. He couldn't rebel.

Zhu Yuanzhang was able to nod this time because Zhu Biao had a special status, relying on his father's favor, and this plan did not consume any resources.

Zhu Biao went all the way back to his Wenhua Palace, and after a while, Mao Xiang led people over, and after saluting Zhu Biao, he said: Your Highness, there are more than 80 spies distributed in Korea, and there are only more than 20 spies in Dongying. , here are the letters and lists of correspondence.

After receiving it, Zhu Biao said: Too few. Goryeo will send another 100 people and allow them to recruit some local people. It is necessary to grasp the general trend in the country.

Mao Xiang took the order, these are very simple, and this is what they do. Originally, the Holy Majesty didn't care about these small countries, so he just let the spies pay attention to their capitals, and did not allow them to develop on their own.

The people of Goryeo are not doing well, as long as the money and food are sufficient, a group of people can be recruited soon. Mao Xiang said to Zhu Biao: Just now the Holy Majesty ordered that His Highness go to see those eminent monks who came from afar. By the way, Monk Daoyan, whom His Highness ordered to look for, has also arrived.

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up. He originally called Yao Guangxiao, but he was still thinking about whether to put him under house arrest or find a reason to kill him. After all, Zhu Biao has nothing to use him for, but now his skills can be useful.

This person is good at organizing rebellion and demagogy. Zhu Biao feels that this person is more useful to him than Zhuge Liang. Zhu Biao smiled and said to Mao Xiang: Very well, Commander Mao has worked hard. As for those monks , Let’s meet again in the Japanese Palace tomorrow.”

Naturally, Mao Xiang had no objection, and after talking to Zhu Biao for a few more words, he withdrew. Mao Xiang is not easy now, being with you is like being with a tiger, he knows too much.

Zhu Biao glanced at Mao Xiang's back. This person seemed to be involved in Hu Weiyong's case, but it was absolutely impossible to say that he colluded with Hu Weiyong. I'm afraid he knew too much, so Zhu Yuanzhang got rid of him easily.

This is also normal. The spy chiefs of the past dynasties basically did not end well. What they did was the most offensive work. The emperor wanted to kill anyone. Target these people.

After Mao Xiang left, Zhu Biao began to seriously watch the information about Goryeo. He just glanced at the imperial study room. Apart from arranging spies to collect information, the most important thing is to send envoys to make troubles. .

Although Goryeo had already sent people to express their surrender, they were still paying tribute to the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the Liaodong area. The Northeast Yuan Remnant Party can go directly south.

But it is a good excuse, you can justifiably send someone to reprimand the King of Korea, expressing Daming's dissatisfaction with this matter.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and Goryeo has no room to refute. What's more, the king of Goryeo is making stupid tricks frequently, and the domestic aristocratic families are very dissatisfied. Zhu Biao just wants to stimulate it. If he can force some ambitious people It couldn't be better.

Since Koryo surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuanli marriage has been realized. Among the seven generations of Koryo kings, except for the two young masters, King Zhongmu and King Zhongding, all of them married the royal daughters of the Yuan Dynasty. that power.

Goryeo thus became the consort state of the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, the Yuan Dynasty also set up a province of conquering the east in Koryo. The numbers all carry the word loyalty.

It has to be said that the Yuan Dynasty was still capable of governing the vassal state. The backbone of Goryeo has been interrupted. Now that the Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed by Zhu Biao, the remnants of Liaodong are about to surrender. This has a great impact on Goryeo society.

It will inevitably affect the status of the royal family that relied on the Yuan Dynasty to rule Goryeo, as well as those aristocratic families that relied on the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Biao also saw secret letters sent by many Goryeo aristocratic families from the newspaper. New backer.

The current situation in Koryo can be described as a flashback. The governance philosophy of the King of Koryo and the monk Xin Tun is like medicine for tigers and wolves, forcibly suppressing the current internal and external troubles in Koryo. On the bright side, the country looks much better.

But in fact, the social conflicts in Goryeo have not been alleviated, but have become more serious. Once it erupts, the two rulers will be completely buried, and Goryeo will completely lose its vitality and become the nourishment for the rise of the new dynasty.

What's more, at this time, the King of Koryo was still building a large-scale construction project, not building water conservancy projects, but building a grand mausoleum for his queen - Zhengling. The decorations of mallards and silver geese are extremely ingenious, and the king of Koryo mobilized tens of thousands of civilians to build a shadow hall for the queen, accompanied by a Buddhist temple.

Zhu Biao felt dizzy when he looked at it. The natural disasters in Koryo continued, the Japanese pirates ravaged, and the king of Koryo continued to build large-scale construction projects, which undoubtedly greatly increased the financial burden of Koryo and weakened the national strength.

He may be a good husband, but he is definitely not a good king. Zhu Biao put down the letter in his hand and began to think in his heart. It is definitely not possible to directly intervene in the current situation. Daming has no resources to waste.

Zhu Biao set his sights on the monk Xin Tun, who is undoubtedly an excellent pawn, and he can also feel that he is an ambitious man by his means. It is by no means ordinary that he can become the second king of Goryeo from a poor monk. people.

Zhu Biao didn't bother to complain about the reason why the King of Korea appointed Monk Xin Tun. If he was really a so-called independent person, how could he meet the king frequently and accept the appointment of him to preside over the government.

Zhu Biao glanced at the current official position of this monk, good guy, Marquis of Zhenping, Shouzheng and obedient Lun Daoxie Li Baoshi hero, Sanhan Sanjun on the wall, Lingduqin Yishishishi, Judgment heavy house supervisory secretary, The ruler of Jiucheng Mansion, the minister who promoted the monk, recorded the secretary and judged Yunguan.
