Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

"Father, what are you thinking about?"

Zhu Jianhe suddenly appeared beside Zhu Xiafeng and asked slowly.

"He'er, now is not the time to have a falling out with the Ming Dynasty. During this period of time, you have also followed me to gain an in-depth understanding of the various tribes on the grassland, especially the development of each tribe, as well as the current development of those cities, and you have also gained a certain understanding!"

"Do you think that ending the cooperation with Ming at this time is a good thing for these tribes?"

Zhu Xiafeng looked at his son in front of him and asked seriously.

If it were the previous Zhu Jianhe, he would definitely not even think about it and think that it would be no big deal to just break off relations with the imperial court!

However, during this period, when he began to try to look at the relationship between Mobei and the Ming Dynasty from his father Zhu Xiafeng's perspective, he gradually realized that Mobei's current development could not completely break away from the Ming Dynasty!

At least, even if they want to decouple, they have to do it step by step and not just do it all at once. Otherwise, even without the Ming Dynasty taking action, Mobei will suffer heavy damage internally and fall into chaos!

"Father, I think we can pretend to be friendly with the Ming Dynasty and keep peace for the time being. We only need to maintain this for a few years. When the tribes in Mobei can gradually get rid of the absolute influence of the Ming Dynasty, it will be time to officially turn against the court!"

Zhu Jianhe's rebellious intentions were revealed in front of Zhu Xiafeng without any reservation.

Even though he followed Zhu Xiafeng to inspect the entire Mobei during this period and changed some of his radical ideas about the Ming Dynasty, there is one thing that cannot be changed, and that is that Mobei will be independent of the Ming Dynasty and become a country of its own in the future!

"You are right. We should at least buy Mobei a few years to gradually break away from the influence of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Otherwise, there will inevitably be huge turmoil in Mobei!"

"This turbulence could be deadly!"

"What do you think is the most appropriate thing for us to do now?"

When Zhu Xiafeng heard his son's answer, a pleased smile appeared on his face. It seemed that the training he had given his son in recent times had been very effective.

Although Zhu Jianhe is radical, he has now begun to learn to use his brain and can really think about problems from the perspective of a person in power!

"A direct fall out will have an impact on Mobei and the Ming Dynasty court as well!"

"We need time, and I believe the Ming court thinks the same way!"

"If we send someone to negotiate directly with the Ming court, it shouldn't be particularly difficult for both sides to maintain the status quo!"

Zhu Jianhe thought for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.

"That's right, negotiate directly with the court. You and I are on the same page!"

"Let's gather the leaders of all the departments tomorrow, discuss it, and choose someone to go to Shuntian Prefecture in person!"

Zhu Xiafeng nodded in agreement.

In fact, he has been considering the feasibility of negotiating with the Ming Dynasty first. At present, there may be no more appropriate way than negotiation to ensure the stability of the current situation!

However, what Zhu Xiafeng and Zhu Jianhe did not expect was that they had not yet chosen a suitable envoy to go to the court for negotiations, but the envoy sent by the court for negotiations had already arrived!

And the person who came was Yu Qian, the second-in-command of the cabinet and the Minister of War!

"Yu Qian actually came to Mobei in person!"

"Second and third brother, this is a really good move!"

After hearing the news that Yu Qian had arrived in Mobei, Zhu Xiafeng couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Xiafeng also cherishes talents. He once thought of recruiting Yu Qian as his subordinate, but the old man Lan Yu simply ignored him, and Zhu Xiaqiu refused to let him go!

Zhu Xiafeng has been brooding over Yu Qian for many years!

"Father, is Yu Qian very powerful?"

Hearing Zhu Xiafeng's sigh, Zhu Jianhe asked curiously.

"It's more than awesome!"

"This Yu Qian is someone who can prolong the life of the Ming Dynasty!"

"If Yu Qian can be used by me, the future of Mobei will surely be even more glorious!"

Zhu Xiafeng was even more straightforward and did not hesitate to express his admiration for Yu Qian!

"In that case, why don't you try to recruit this person, father?"

Zhu Jianhe suggested something on impulse.

"Do you think I don't want to recruit Yu Qian?"

"If he were such an easy recruit, I would look down on him!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiafeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

How could he recruit a loyal person who could leave a mark in history of "not fearing death but leaving a clear name in the world" with just a few words?

"What if we force him to stay here?"

"Anyway, this is Mobei. Now that he's here, isn't it up to our father to decide whether he can go back?"

Zhu Jianhe sneered disapprovingly.

"Put away all your little thoughts!"

"I do value Yu Qian, but I value a living person, not a dead person!"

"Do you think that you can make him surrender by putting a knife to his neck?"

"Are you doubting Yu Qian, or are you doubting how I judge people?"

Hearing Zhu Jianhe's words, Zhu Xiafeng immediately asked in silence.

"Yu Qian actually still has such integrity?"

Zhu Jianhe was also surprised when he heard this!

"I'm afraid there's no official in the entire Ming Dynasty with more integrity than him!"

"Okay, they're here to negotiate, we can't just avoid them!"

"Let's go entertain our imperial envoy first. You can also get acquainted with them, but remember to listen more, watch more, and talk less!"

Zhu Xiafeng waved his hand and took Zhu Jianhe to see Yu Qian.

Yu Qian and Zhu Xiafeng had met before. When the Western Jerusalem was pacified, Yu Qian was just a student at the Imperial Guard Academy. He followed Lan Yu's army to the west and had witnessed the elegance of the Wind King Zhu Xiafeng!

Of course, this was the only time the two had contact. Since then, Yu Qian never saw His Royal Highness the King of Wind again!

When Yu Qian saw Zhu Xiafeng again in the palace, his eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

When he first met the Wind King, how high-spirited and arrogant was Zhu Xiafeng?

When I see him again now, although he doesn’t look old at all, his aura has become more steady and restrained, as if he has become a completely different person!

If this face had not remained unchanged, Yu Qian would have suspected that the Zhu Xiafeng he met was a fake!

"Your humble servant Yu Qian pays respect to His Majesty the Wind King!"

Yu Qian was the first to bow to Zhu Xiafeng.

"Tingyi, no need to be so polite!"

"It's been decades since we last met. You've gotten old!"

"I still remember when I saw you in the West, you were only a teenager!"

Zhu Xiafeng patted Yu Qian's shoulder enthusiastically and said with a smile.

There was a flash of surprise in Yu Qian's eyes. He didn't expect that Zhu Xiafeng still remembered him, and even remembered his handwriting!

"I didn't expect that His Highness the Wind King still remembered me!"

"I am here at the order of the imperial court to discuss the issue of Mobei with His Royal Highness the Wind King!"

Yu Qian smiled, took a step back without leaving a trace, put some distance between himself and Zhu Xiafeng, and then directly explained his purpose.

Zhu Jianhe saw this scene and couldn't help but frown!

It was the first time he saw his father being so enthusiastic towards a court official. He didn't expect that the other party didn't appreciate it and kept a respectful distance from him!

This made him feel somewhat unhappy!

If Zhu Xiafeng hadn't given instructions beforehand, he might have lost his temper!

"Well, now that you and I are on different sides, let's not talk about the past, to avoid embarrassment for both sides!"

"Just tell me, what exactly does the court mean by asking you to come here?"

"Let me make it clear first. Don't learn from those officials in the court who quibble over words and play Tai Chi. It's better to just point it out!"

Zhu Xiafeng was not angry. Since Yu Qian wanted to handle the matter impartially, he might as well speak frankly!

"The court means to maintain the status quo. We hope that His Royal Highness the Wind King can control the tribes in Mobei and his subordinates!"

Yu Qian didn't waste any words and directly relayed to Zhu Xiafeng what Zhu Xiajun had told him before.

"Is this the Crown Prince's intention, or the Third Brother's?"

Zhu Xiafeng was not surprised at all, but asked with interest.

"This is what His Royal Highness the Prince of Han meant, and it is also what His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant!"

Yu Qian added.

After hearing Zhu Xiafeng's explanation at first, he was also surprised. As the second assistant of the cabinet, he naturally could not tolerate Zhu Xiafeng's possible attempt to rebel against Tiangang.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Xialun actually just asked Zhu Xiafeng to remain restrained and wanted to maintain the status quo!

What he didn't expect was that Zhu Li and Zhu Xiaqiu both meant the same thing!

He didn't know why the emperor was so tolerant of the King of Wind, but he finally chose to believe the emperor, because he was the Chengwu Emperor Zhu Li, and also the person Yu Qian respected most in his life!

"There is no problem with maintaining the status quo, but the court must guarantee the rights and interests of Mobei. The previous cooperation must not be abolished or terminated in any form!"

Zhu Xiafeng was silent for a moment and also put forward his own request.

"It's natural."

"So, His Royal Highness the Wind King agrees?"

Yu Qian nodded as a matter of course and finally confirmed.

"Yes, the king agrees!"

"Since you have come here in person, I will definitely give you this honor!"

"Tingyi, in fact, this king has always valued you very much!"

"I once thought of asking the imperial court to bring you here to help me govern Mobei..."

Zhu Xiafeng nodded in confirmation, and also mentioned that he had wanted to ask for Yu Qian from Zhu Xiaqiu back then.

"It is an honor for Yu Qian to be valued by His Royal Highness the Wind King!"

"It's a pity that Yu Qian is only loyal to the imperial court. At least in this lifetime, I'm afraid he won't have the chance to serve under His Royal Highness the Wind King!"

After listening to Zhu Xiafeng's words, Yu Qian shook his head calmly.

"You're still shameless after being given face?"

"My father is so proud of you that he allowed you to stay in Mobei. Do you really think you are such a nobody?"

"Believe it or not, as long as my father is willing, you will not be able to leave this palace!"

Zhu Jianhe, who was standing by, couldn't help but scold Yu Qian when he saw him so arrogantly reject Zhu Xiafeng directly!

"This should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Yu Qian is an official of the imperial court, and King Feng is also the king of the imperial court. As subjects, we should be loyal to the emperor, the country, and the people!"

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of your words scolding this humble official?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qian asked Zhu Jianhe without any panic.

"He'er, shut up!"

Zhu Xiafeng frowned and scolded in dissatisfaction.

"Father, this Yu Qian doesn't know what's good for him!"

Zhu Jianhe reminded Zhu Xiafeng with an indignant look on his face.

"Master Yu, is there anything else?"

Zhu Xiafeng ignored Zhu Jianhe, but asked Yu Qian instead.

The name for Yu Qian was also directly changed to his official title.

A forced melon is not sweet. He has plenty of ways to keep Yu Qian in Mobei, but if he really does that, it will not only be meaningless, but will also directly trigger the conflict between Mobei and the Ming court, which is not worth the loss!

"I'm resigning!"

Yu Qian had already accomplished the purpose of this trip, and he also knew that the longer he stayed in Mobei, the more dangerous it would be.

Zhu Xiafeng might not do anything to him, but that might not be the case for others!

"Father, are you really going to let him leave like this?"

Zhu Jianhe asked again with some reluctance.

"Or else?"

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you touch Yu Qian now?"

"Yu Qian cannot be used by me. No one wants to kill him more than me!"

"But even if Yu Qian is going to die, he must not die in Mobei!"

Zhu Xiafeng asked back disapprovingly.

"But if we let him return to Ming, it will be even more difficult to get rid of him!"

"If he really has some extraordinary talent, but cannot use it for himself, he will definitely become a serious threat to Mobei in the future!"

"We can't keep such a person!"

Zhu Jianhe reminded anxiously.

"It doesn't matter. Yu Qian alone cannot threaten the foundation of Mobei!"

"But you are right. Yu Qian will definitely become one of your strongest rivals in the future!"

"If you want to kill him, then wait until you are in power and really confront him, then do it yourself!"

Zhu Xiafeng looked at Zhu Jianhe and reminded him seriously.

When Zhu Jianhe heard this, he immediately lost his temper.

He didn't understand why Zhu Xiafeng didn't get rid of Yu Qian earlier?

Even if Yu Qian was the second assistant of the cabinet and the minister of war, it would be easy to create some accidents or troubles in this small piece of land in Mobei and kill Yu Qian!

Even if the court holds you accountable, it’s no big deal!

Unless the imperial court dares to break off relations directly!

"Will the imperial court break off relations with Mobei just for Yu Qian?"

Zhu Jianhe was obviously still a little unconvinced.

"you are right!"

"If someone else comes, even if he dies, the court will be able to tolerate it for a while!"

"But if something happens to Yu Qian, I'm afraid your uncle will be able to lead the imperial army to attack the border within half a month!"

Zhu Xiafeng nodded and said with a serious face.
