Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu smiled. Fortunately, he had expected that if this crime fell on him, even though he had the "martial arts" to calm Liaodong, he would not be able to stop these people from verbal criticism. Most importantly, people like them , an article is destined to "be immortal".

As an emperor who aspires to become a master of the world, reputation is very important!

Zhu Xu was watching when Sun Chengzong came in from the outside, patted the snow on his body, and said after seeing the ceremony: "Your Majesty, Master Yuan has already set off for North Korea, Yang Lin has begun to return to his teacher, and Zhu Mei is also in various painting circles, re-drawing the territory of Liaodong .”

Zhu Xu nodded, and said: "This matter can't be careless, you must use 120 thoughts, even more than Shenyang."

Knowing that the emperor cared, Sun Chengzong said: "Yes, I have made arrangements, and will send generals to station in turn to speed up reclamation and build city fortresses."

Zhu Xu was very relieved of Sun Chengzong, suddenly changed the subject, and asked, "Is there any change in Liaodong?"

The situation in Liaodong is still relatively complicated. Although Nurhachi unified the various tribes of Jurchen, it was also unified by force. Many tribes were dissatisfied, and some were controlled through the form of "covenant". At the same time, this place was originally the territory of Mongolian tribes. There are many Mongolian tribes scattered, and various marriages, covenants, and relationships are intricate and complicated.

Sun Chengzong said: "It is basically stable. Bao Chengxian and Meng Qiaofang are still quite capable. By supporting the surrendered people to hunt down the rebels, and then attracting a group of people who have no ideas, there is no major chaos happening everywhere."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, squinted his eyes, and said for a while, "In this way, order Meng Qiaofang to implement the company law, cultivate the land at ordinary times, train troops in spare time, select suitable ones, and gather [-] people to be under the jurisdiction of Shuotuo to counter the rebellion."

Sun Chengzong frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, although the population of Liaodong is not large, it may cost tens of thousands of people."

Both Jurchen and Mongols are nomads, natural cavalry, if they train a little, there will be tens of thousands of cavalry, if they are controlled by Shuo Tuo...

Zhu Xu smiled disdainfully, and said: "If it was Dorgon, I would have taken extra precautions. Even if I let him go, he won't have the guts to rebel!"

Sun Chengzong was startled, and then came to his senses.Huang Taiji is already a bereaved dog. Even if the Ming Dynasty did not take precautions, Shuo Tuo would have no reason to rebel.

However, Sun Chengzong, who should be on guard, raised his hand and said: "Observe the order. After the minister returns, I will arrange it immediately."

"Well, let's arrange it early. When I return to Beijing at noon tomorrow, I will clean up everything that needs to be cooked, so as not to cause future trouble." Zhu Xu said.

Chapter 517 Partition of Korea

At noon the next day, Zhu Xu and others got into the carriage, left Shenyang, and returned to the capital.

More than 200 people including Xiong Tingbi, Yang Lin, Meng Qiaofang and others kowtowed at the south gate to see them off.

Inside the carriage, Zhu Xu leaned on the side wall, looked at Cao Huachun beside him and said with a smile, "When I leave, I don't know how many people breathed a sigh of relief, and how many people's hearts blossomed with joy."

Cao Huachun bowed there, smiling, not saying a word.

The carriage swayed, and Zhu Xu's thoughts slowly returned to the capital.

Next year will be the fifth year of Chongzhen. Daming is still stable, but the problems facing him will become more and more difficult, and more effort will be required.

However, after being an emperor for five years, Zhu Xu already possessed the self-confidence and composure he should have, thinking methodically in his heart, without any tension or worry.

"I heard, how many years have the Imperial Academy selected?" Suddenly Zhu Xu looked at Cao Huachun again and asked.

Cao Huachun nodded, and said: "Yes, there are two, one is Yongwu, and the other is Jingzheng. Yongwu is taken from Hongwu and Yongle. Jingzheng means obedience to heaven and obedience to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Xu nodded, this time it was just right, thinking about these two spare year names, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Which one do you think is suitable?"

Cao Huachun heard that Zhu Xu wanted to choose one of the two, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Yongwu, although it is taken from Taizu Taizong's year title, but together, it is suspected of being militaristic. The slave thinks that Jingzheng has a very good meaning. It can be used as the emperor's year name."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, but did not speak.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always had a year name for each person, but he is rather special. He always feels that this year name is still Zhu Youjian's, and he feels uncomfortable if he does not change it.In addition, the Ming Dynasty has reformed to a certain extent, and it is necessary to give the world a signal that "it is different", and this reform is the best signal!

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't speak any more, Cao Huachun also kept silent.

The carriage staggered and set off from Shenyang, and went straight to Shanhaiguan without stopping except for changing horses.

When Zhu Xu arrived at Shanhaiguan, Yuan Keli also arrived in North Korea.

For Yuan Keli, North Korea is both afraid and hated. What is afraid is that Yuan Keli once really had the intention of leading an army to attack North Korea, and now the army is staying not far from Seoul, and Qin Yiming's army has also changed. mean!And the hatred is because from the perspective of the current power in North Korea, North Korea's "anyway" is correct, and Yuan Keli cannot "attack" wantonly, but Yuan Keli is an important minister of the heavenly kingdom, and they cannot attack at will.

In any case, North Korea's "anyway" is the result of force, and it is true that the lower party has committed the upper party. This is real and irrefutable.

The king of North Korea, Li Ji, did not dare to invite Yuan Keli to the court of North Korea, but only dared to welcome him to a private banquet in the palace. Except for a few confidants, no one else dared to invite him.

Yuan Keli came here with anger, and Daming's soldiers were in full swing, so he didn't give Li Zhen any face, and reprimanded him in front of a group of people.

"What is 'anyway'? Urging the emperor with a minister! You are called 'Little China', do you have the slightest Chinese temperament?"

"The monarch and his ministers have their own points, like a crown and shoes, how can it be reversed!"

"Today, the minister has usurped the throne and killed the king, and there is a father and son killing each other, so where does the enlightenment come from?"

The people in North Korea were reprimanded and couldn't say a word. In the final analysis, this incident was indeed, as Yuan Keli said, a rebellion committed by North Korea.

Yuan Keli reprimanded him happily, and did not forget his duty. After a while, he looked at Li Zhen coldly and said, "Where is Li Hui now, I want to take him back to Pyongyang."

Li Ji is not yet 40 years old this year. After several wars, he can be considered quite a promising person. Hearing Yuan Keli's words, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "What does Shangguan mean? Could it be that he really wants to do that so-called 'Set things right'?"

Yuan Keli frowned, his expression became more and more bored, and said: "According to my official intention, it is natural to take all of you down, and the Ming Dynasty will punish you! But this is a matter of North Korea, and I, Ming, cannot interfere too much, but the matter of treason You can't ignore it, it's my official statement that North Korea is divided into two, Li Hun lives in the north, and you live in the south. From then on, you can't attack and live in peace. Otherwise, my Ming Dynasty will come to maintain North Korea's orthodoxy !"

Li Zhen frowned when he heard this, but he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Daming didn't intend to forcefully intervene in the replacement of North Korea, it would be fine, and there was still room for change.

He looked at Yuan Keli's calm and prestige face, then glanced at Qin Yiming who had been sitting below without speaking, and said hesitantly: "Shangguan, can you allow Xiao Wang to discuss something?"

Yuan Keli raised his eyebrows angrily, and shouted in a deep voice: "Could it be that you don't know how to repent at this time, and you really need my army from the Celestial Dynasty to go south to wake up!"

Li Zhen's face changed again, and he looked at the few courtiers below.These people were all his confidantes, and they were also afraid of Li Hui's resurgence, so they looked at each other for a while and nodded secretly.

As long as Li Hui can stay in Pyongyang safely, they don't care.

Seeing them nodding, Li Zhen was also afraid that the Ming Dynasty's army would really go south, so he murmured: "Okay, Xiao Wang agreed."

Yuan Keli looked better now, and said, "Where is Li Hui, I want to pick her up to Pyongyang."

Li Zhen looked at Jin Zhongshan and said, "Doctor Jin, please go to Jianghua with Mr. Yuan."

Jin Zhongshan didn't expect it to be like this, he hurriedly stood up, raised his hand and said to Yuan Keli: "Dare to ask Lord Yuan, what His Majesty the Ming Emperor said before, does it still count?"

Yuan Keli frowned, and said displeasedly: "These officials don't care, you can go to the capital and ask the emperor!"

Jin Zhongshan's face darkened slightly, and he turned to look at Li Zhen with a worried expression on his face.

Li Zhen's expression was also not good-looking, he understood the meaning of Jin Zhongshan's eyes, if Daming changed his mind, I'm afraid he and Li Hui would not be able to rule North and South Korea safely.

"Cough cough!"

At this time, Qin Yiming, who had been silent all this time, stood up, raised his hands to Yuan Keli and Li Yu, and said, "My lord, Mr. Yuan, since the emperor has said it, he will not change it. To rule the north together, the two lords of North Korea can both If there is a dispute in entering the Liaodong Prime Minister's Yamen, if two people agree, it can be executed, and it can also be reported to the court for the emperor to make a decision."

Li Zhen's eyes lit up, this is a very good idea, for North Korea, it will definitely not suffer!

Yuan Keli looked like he didn't want to hear these things, waved his hands, and said: "Okay, you can discuss the specifics, and it will be reported to the emperor. I am going to pick up Li Hui."

Li Jing also had no idea that the Ming emperor had the intention of completely annexing North Korea, and after sending Yuan Keli away, he discussed with the ministers the details of co-governing the "Northern" with the Ming Dynasty.
