Chapter 584: The Right Choice
Chapter 584 The right choice
Zhu Yunyou could probably guess what Zhu Yunyou was thinking, but Zhu Yunyou didn't necessarily need to pay special attention to what they were thinking.
For Zhu Yunyou, he was first the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and then the "second generation of heads of the Zhu family". Zhu Yunyou naturally knew the difference between the primary and secondary here.
Therefore, in terms of some systems and policies, Zhu Yunyou may not necessarily look very much towards the royal family. He needs to consider the long-term, not just thinking about the current situation, but also consider the long-term and the future.
Looking at Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan, Zhu Yunyou said seriously, "I think the emperors know that if they founded the country in Goryeo, they would definitely be a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty. To be honest, we do not recognize the country that the emperor created in the early years."
Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan felt even more distressed. They were both princes, but they didn't even mention getting in touch with some major national affairs. If you glanced at the court, you might be severely scolded by Lao Zhu.
But their nephew is better, let alone participate in the court. Even the wise and powerful Emperor Hongwu sometimes had to consider Zhu Yunyou's opinions and change some of the formulated policies.
Let’s not talk about the matter of the vassal kings for now. The country that did not conquer was also abolished. These were all good things that Zhu Yunyou did.
This is the one who does not follow the rules of the old Zhu family. Lao Zhu's bias is unconcealed. Lao Zhu's requirements and expectations for Zhu Yunyou are indeed particularly high. Or it is because Zhu Yunyou's performance is very good that Lao Zhu is so doting Zhu Yunyou.
Zhu Yunyou looked at Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan and said, "I think the emperors know that Goryeo has often expanded outward during the war in the Central Plains. Not to mention the past, even if they wanted to attack Tielingwei in the early years, you should have heard of it. Li Chenggui and his son were planning to usurp the throne, which is also related to this."
Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan naturally knew that Goryeo, who originally thought it was a small foreign country, was actually always restless.
In the early years, he met the Mongol Yuan, and even after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were many pro-Yuan forces in the Goryeo court.
The Central Plains court seemed to look down on Goryeo, but they all understood that once the strength of the Central Plains court declined, Goryeo would be ready to move. In fact, they always had many expectations for the land in the Northeast.
Zhu Chun said at this time, "Your Majesty, if you guard Goryeo, you should be righteous and clear. After all, I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so I must obey the court's laws and regulations."
Zhu Yunyou smiled and said to Zhu Chun, "Uncle Eleven, we are naturally relieved to you. But it is hard to say whether our descendants take our words seriously. You know the reason why we say this now."
In fact, once you say some things too clearly, they may not be a good thing, mainly because they will feel embarrassed.
Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan naturally don’t need to worry too much. They know the power of the Ming Dynasty, and they also know the abilities of Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu.
Since the Ming Dynasty could destroy the complete Goryeo and then establish two vassal states, it was natural that it could continue to work hard and continue to destroy those vassal states. It was nothing strange, because the Ming Dynasty had such absolute strength.
But who knows whether the emperors after the Ming Dynasty were all very wise, and who knows whether the Ming Dynasty's national power will always be strong?
Furthermore, if Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan were founded in Goryeo, they naturally recognized the identity of the Ming Dynasty royal family. They were also proud of the fact that they were descendants of the Zhu family.
But then, once they founded the country in Goryeo, their descendants would definitely become more and more indifferent to the Ming Dynasty. At some point, they saw the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and perhaps the descendants of Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan would expand to the northeast.
It is even very likely that in order to unify Goryeo, Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan's descendants will attack each other, or even attack the Three Guards of Busan, etc.
This is not an exaggeration, but mainly some things. Everyone actually understands the truth, but it is not suitable to say it on such occasions now.
Looking at Zhu Chun, Zhu Yunyeong said seriously, "I think the emperor knows that the imperial army has taken down Hamkyung, Ping'an, Huanghai and Gangwon dormitories among the eight Goryeo roads, and most of them are controlled by the court."
Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan naturally knew this. Not to mention that they were some royal families who were looking forward to becoming the king of Goryeo. Even ordinary people have heard of these things a lot. This is a proof of the great military power of the Ming Dynasty, and it is naturally worthy of publicity.
"But there, it is also relying on the Jianzhou Jurchens and the savage Jurchens. These Jurchens are restless and often harassing Liaodong." Zhu Yunyou looked serious and said, "If you go there now, on the one hand, you will have to govern Goryeo and win the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, you will have to crack down on the three Jurchens."
Zhu Chun hurriedly spoke at this time and said, "Your Majesty, I think the first priority is to bring the hearts of the people. The father and son of Li's rebellious actions caused anger and resentment from heaven. This is the best time to bring the hearts of the people."
Zhu Quan was not humble at this time and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I think I should be domineering when dealing with the unjust. Most of the barbarians do not know the king's transformation and only respect power."
Zhu Chun’s meaning is very obvious. His meaning is to first consolidate the rule and govern the country. As long as the national strength is developed, it naturally means that he has more initiative, which is also part of what he is good at.
After all, he had some experience in Shu. Zhu Chun also knew where he was good at and where he had advantages. So if he was asked to go to Goryeo to find the country, he would definitely have to manage his foundational land in an orderly manner, rather than going to war everywhere immediately with a strong military force.
But Zhu Quan didn't think so. He was originally very enthusiastic about leading troops to fight. If he could work with the imperial army, he would be confident that he would achieve greater results.
Although the Jurchen three is quite troublesome now, everyone knows that the Jurchen three is actually the "savages", and its strength is actually not worth mentioning. Li Chenggui and his son also attacked the Jurchen three in his early years, or attracted the Jurchen three to go out of the jungle.
Whether it was Zhu Quan or Zhu Chun, he was also talking about his "governmental philosophy" at this time, hoping to convince Zhu Yunyou.
Zhu Chun’s meaning is naturally to rest and recuperate. The most important thing is to develop steadily. This is what he is good at. He also thinks that this view is actually more suitable for troubled times. Goryeo is now a troubled time.
But Zhu Quan was different. He never doubted his ability to lead troops to fight. As long as he shared the worries of the court, it naturally meant that he could have a greater chance of going to Goryeo to enthrone the country, which was the major thing he was concerned about.
In fact, for these things, it is natural that the mother said that the mother was right. Whether it was Zhu Chun or Zhu Quan's thoughts, they actually made sense, and they all seemed to have some truth.
It is naturally normal to govern the country, take it into consideration, and settle your country. It seems like a very safe approach, and you can hardly find any problems.
However, the current situation is a bit special. In Goryeo, it is also backed by the Ming Dynasty court.
This naturally means that at the beginning, we must have the support of the Ming Dynasty and help the Ming Dynasty solve some problems. This is the real correct attitude, and it can also make the Ming Dynasty feel at ease to be sealed outside.
So if you want to say absolutely right or wrong, there is definitely nothing. You can only say that choosing something that seems appropriate and is in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty is the most important thing, and this is indeed a starting point for Zhu Yunyou.
It is just in line with some interests of the Ming Dynasty, and it may not necessarily be in line with the interests of the vassal states, and this also requires careful discussion.
This matter is really a bit troublesome, because no matter what, it seems that there is actually no absolutely correct approach, and there is nothing that seems to be perfect. I can only choose a slightly more appropriate method.
Looking at Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan, Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "We will let the two emperors enter the palace today. In fact, we just think that if the two emperors are interested, if the two emperors are fighting, they will let the two emperors find the country there."
Zhu Yunyou gave the trump card directly, which can be regarded as revealing the answer, which undoubtedly made Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan excited.
Even though I had some speculations before, I was just speculation after all, and I felt a little up and down.
Now that I finally got a clearer answer from Emperor Ying, I am more looking forward to it. For them, what they have to do now is to truly seize such an opportunity, and they must not miss it.
Goryeo is definitely a pretty good place around the Ming Dynasty. Many royal families have the first choice for the country to be sealed, in fact, Goryeo. In the eyes of the royal families, those places are more attractive than Japan and Nanyang.
Goryeo seems remote, but it also has a good foundation for Han civilization. Although it is a bit cold, it is not a real place of bitter and cold. It is just that winter may be a little longer and colder.
If it were Annan, it would be the so-called smoky place. In the past, people thought that Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Lingnan were all smoky places. Naturally, the Annan area would feel that it was even more smoky and worse.
Moreover, the Nanyang side seems to have been influenced by some Han civilizations, but its influence is not particularly large, at least it is not as good as that of Japan and Goryeo.
There is no doubt that Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan meant to seize the initiative. They now seem to be the most suitable candidate in Zhu Yunyou's eyes. They have the opportunity to start their own foundation.
As for the support from the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Emperor Yingxiong was sitting on the dragon throne with Emperor Hongwu. Everyone was thanking the powerful father and grandfather who were all "living the fruits of their lives", which of course means that they can be at ease with each other.
At most, the one who became the emperor got almost all his family property. Those who were born in vain did not need to worry about it. Even if it was just a small benefit, it was a wealth that ordinary people would never dare to imagine.
Zhu Yunyou was in a very good mood. Seeing his two emperor uncles’ unconcealed excitement and expectations, Zhu Yunyou knew some of his decisions and arrangements were very attractive to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all ready to go.
There are some things that you don’t need to give an answer, give some sweetness, and give some hope immediately, so that Zhu Yunyou can continue to control this matter calmly.
Who made him the emperor? The emperor who holds great power has more initiative in many things. It can be said that he is full of confidence and does not need to worry about too many troubles.
As for Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan's hearts, they have nothing to do with Zhu Yunyou. Now we have to see which of these two is more advanced, and they have to see their determination and courage.
Of course, Zhu Yunyou is also very clear that it may not necessarily be necessary for Zhu Yunyou to follow his ideas, but you still need to consider some overall situations. The overall situation is the most important thing. You should not be careless when choosing two suitable vassal states in Goryeo.
Zhu Chun and Zhu Quan had something to do, so they naturally felt unwilling to accept it. However, the emperor was unwilling to talk more now, so they had to leave obediently. In the next period of time, they would definitely care more about this matter.
Zhu Yunxiu was just smiling at this time because he saw more possibilities and more opportunities to go to the imperial uncles to get some benefits.
Never say that His Highness, the King of Wu, only collects money but does not do anything. He can still do things. The King of Wu's reputation can be slightly restored at this time.
"Just just stare at Uncle King Shu and Uncle Ning. Don't go to other Uncles." Looking at his uneasy brother, Zhu Yunyou reminded him, "Oh, don't let us worry about it all the time. Everyone thinks that our brothers can't even teach our younger brother well."
Zhu Yunxiu didn't care and said with a smile, "Brother, no one dares to say this. We know that we just do some small evil and we don't dare to really make trouble. Even if you don't deal with us, the prince will deal with us."
Zhu Yunyou also laughed, because he knew that Zhu Yunyou was right, his emperor girl was quite reliable.
Since this is the case, Zhu Yunyou stopped talking about anything and just let the King of Wu leave obediently. Zhu Yunyou has other things to do.
After all the three princes left, Lao Zhu brought Xiao Xiao Zhu to appear, "Is it really not for Yun Huang to the other end of Goryeo? That is a good land, and it is also a good thing to give Yun Huang. If he doesn't grow, you will suppress him to grow. If he can't do it, you can help you, and it will be more stable in the future."
Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "Everyone has his own ambitions. This is his choice, so we can't blame him for not giving him a chance. What's more, our emperors and the children of our Zhu family have too many prospects. There is no need for Zhu Yunyou to drive the ducks on the shelves!"
