First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Seeing that his prince wanted to write, Liu Jin, who had been bowing and standing beside him, hurried forward to spread the paper and ink, while Zhu Biao tapped on the book case with his knuckles, thinking about how to persuade him.

The battle in the north is stalemate, and if there is another war in the northeast, it will be a bit troublesome. Daming can't bear it, after all, Zhongshan King Xu Da is in Hejian Mansion, and he can lead troops to help Liu Yi and others resist Naha at any time.

And if it is really necessary, it is not impossible for Zhu Biao to force Goryeo to send troops to harass Naha. After all, Daming has the right time, place and people, and it is not something that the separatist forces living in a corner can contend with.

In fact, Zhu Biao had a hunch that it was only a matter of time before Naha surrendered. Maybe he, like Lao Zhu, fell into an embarrassing situation. He couldn't find a suitable step to go down. He surrendered directly and felt that he had lost his life's prestige. ...

So Zhu Biao picked up the pen and started writing. He didn't tell him about weighing the pros and cons. Instead, he reviewed the friendship of the year in the tone of Lao Zhu, and pointed out the current relationship with the Korean Jurchen in an understatement. Finally, he sincerely invited Naha to come out. His son, Chahan, came to the capital for a visit.

After he stopped writing, Zhu Biao waved his hand and asked Liu Jin to hand over the letter to the sage for reading. As a result, Lao Zhu didn't even want to read it and asked Liu Jin to package it. He believed in his son's ability, and he didn't need to worry about such things.

Zhu Biao said with a smile: Father, don't worry, no matter what, my son will let Naha Chu go to the capital to kneel in front of Father before winter next year to plead guilty.

Only after hearing this did Zhu Yuanzhang smile: That's good, Naha is an ungrateful bastard, we have to let him know what the rules are.

In fact, if Naha led the land of Liaodong to join Daming when Liu Yi and others did not seek refuge, he would be able to earn the title of duke according to his meritorious status, but as far as the current situation is concerned, he is only a marquis.

Today is nothing compared to the future. A marquis at the beginning of the founding of the country is actually nothing. Naha also offended generals such as Tang and Xu Da back then...

After talking about the business, Zhu Yuanzhang said casually: We are planning to confer Yang'er as the grandson of the emperor. What do you think? In fact, according to our original idea, we want the grandson to be eight or nine years old. It’s a matter of fact, but it’s better to settle this situation sooner.”

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: It's not even a hundred days, let's talk about it after the beginning of spring.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained unchanged: The past few months are not too bad, but you must understand the reason why you must be constantly rebellious. The country does not allow personal affection at all.

Zhu Biao leaned on the back of the chair and nodded: Father, don't worry, my minister is very clear-headed, and I don't have any messy thoughts. It is Yang'er to talk about the future and the elders, and the minister will not be ambiguous.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang nod his head in satisfaction. The two grandchildren are good, and the favor and glory can be distributed to them fairly, but only the big one has no room for sway. There must be rivers of blood.

Those ambitious civil servants and military generals don't care about stability in order to follow the dragon's merits. If they have a chance, they will shake the country and plunge Ming Dynasty into civil strife.

According to the size of Daming, even if there is a fatuous king of one or two generations, it will not be difficult to subjugate the country, but once it falls into internal friction, what will be corrupted is the real foundation.

Zhu Biao now also understands that unless his boss is really a violent, perverted, incompetent, hopeless player, the second child will only be the second child after all. He doesn't need to think about the country of Daming, and at most he can give it to him abroad. compensate.

In fact, it is very easy. It has nothing to do with whether the second child is unwilling to be convinced or not, just like the three brothers, King Jin Zhuxi, King Chu Chuan Zhu Di, King Qi Zhudi, including the princes behind.

Are they willing? Are they convinced? But they have a way?

No, because the authority given to them by Lao Zhu is pitiful, not even considered authority, but the honor that a prince should have, but Zhu Biao is in control of the power, and the generals under the command of his disciples and old officials are all over the world. from.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are clear about their intentions and give authority to the boss, then the second brother has nothing to do, just like the three brothers who are still hoeing behind the Hall of Martial Arts. .

Even the second child may not be as good as the three brothers. The three brothers still have the support of the mother clan. The eldest and the second child are all descendants of Chang Luohua, which is also a mother clan. Both have the blood of his Chang family, how could they have to go against the sky to support the other.

It sounds cruel to the second child, but the reality is like this. After Zhu Biao's mind is fixed, the victory or defeat of the two of them is actually doomed, and it is not something that can be changed by cleverness and ambition.

Of course, Hudu doesn’t eat children. As his son, the future Prince of Ming, if he is really ambitious, Zhu Biao will prepare a territory that is wide enough and has potential for him. If he is content with wealth, then Zhu Biao will also properly place him in Daming.

By the way, I still need to ask my father to issue an order. Goryeo sent me a letter of state, and I asked Daming to give Wang Zhuan a posthumous title. There is also a document requesting a seal for Wang Yu that needs to be approved.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows and said, Wang Yu is the illegitimate son of Xin Tun? As for the posthumous title, the Ministry of Rites can directly decide on it, or do you have any other arrangements?

It was the Muni slave. After the assassination of King Goryeo, the child was brought into the palace by Queen Mother Mingde of Goryeo. The two groups of ministers agreed to come up with eight characters. Empress Dowager Mingde delineated the word 禑. I heard that it has been canonized as Jiangning Mansion Your Majesty, I have accepted the congratulations of the Goryeo officials.

As for the posthumous son, I'm ready, and I say Gongmin.

Zhu Yuanzhang read it twice and said: Although we don't know much about posthumous titles, Gongmin's posthumous posthumous title sounds like a bad posthumous posthumous posthumous title. Wang Zhuan took the initiative to submit to me, Daming, when he was in power, and he was meritorious. Isn't it too much? ?”

Zhu Biao knocked on the book case and said: The royal guest is called Gong when he is in charge of the ceremony, and the honor is called Gong when he respects the offering. If he can change it, he is called Gong. If he is in a family, he is called Gong. When he is worried in the country, he is called Min. Those who create disasters and chaos are called min, and those who make people sad are called min.

Koryo has been in turmoil in recent years, and this posthumous posthumous title is not too much, not to mention that Wang Zhuan condoned Xin Tun's chaotic government. The aristocratic family has long been dissatisfied, and his reputation among the people is also mediocre.

Zhu Biao didn't say the following words, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask again, knowing that his son had his own opinion, not to mention that Lao Zhu actually didn't like Wang Zhuan, a king who liked to be ridden.

As for Wang Yu, although he is the only son of King Gongmin, due to his young age and unknown background, the Empress Dowager Mingde and her attendant Qing Fuxing planned to choose another person from the clan to be the king, so they only canonized Wang Yu as the majesty of the Jiangning Mansion. .

What Zhu Biao had to do was to cooperate with Li Renren, the ruler of Guangping Mansion, to support him as king as soon as possible. Li Renren was the leader of the noble family of Korea, and he exchanged several letters with Zhu Biao half a month ago.

His words in the letter are sincere and humble, as if he obeyed the will of His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, but judging from Zhu Biao's many years of experience, he is a full-fledged old fox who will always be loyal to the interests of the family, not any monarch.

But it’s not defensive, it’s a situation of mutual use, and Zhu Biao doesn’t care what monsters and ghosts the other party is, as long as the plan can be carried out steadily.
