This monk has been in power for four full years. Even if he is really a holy monk, he has already been eroded by the worldly glory and wealth.
According to the spies' reports, since Xin Min established the Tianmin Benzheng Dujian two years ago, he distributed the land of the large manor owners to the poor and restored the manor owners' personal slaves to good men. This has won the support of the lower class people and is known as
"saint".
King Gongmin also believed that Xin Min "doesn't want to be paid, doesn't have sex, and doesn't want to build a farmland" and trusted him more. However, in fact, Xin Min accepted bribes from hundreds of officials, accumulated a lot of treasures, built seven mansions, and had affairs with many married women.
, the King of Korea did not know these.
It can be seen from this that this man's ambition and desire for power are growing day by day, but Confucianism is also prevalent in Korea. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was introduced to Korea from the Yuan Dynasty. The righteousness of the monarch and his ministers still dominates, and Xin Min has no name to rebel.
Zhu Biao planned to let the Ming Dynasty envoy go to interview the King of Koryo, and privately asked Yao Guangxiao to take his letter to see Xin Min, telling him that the Ming Dynasty was ready to support him to become the king of Koryo.
As for why he is supported, the reason is very simple. The Goryeo royal family has been married to the Yuan Dynasty for several generations, and due to their blood connection, they may secretly help the various Mongolian tribes.
Of course, such words are just a step up for both parties. Xin Min is now in an extremely embarrassing situation. He is in a high position but is controlled by the King of Korea. He has offended too many people. Once his power is taken back in the future, he will definitely die without a burial.
place.
He is no longer the lonely monk. With a wife and children, he naturally has to plan for his own bloodline. What's more, once you have mastered something like power, you can't let it go willingly.
Moreover, after Zhu Biao saw Xin Min's reform measures, he felt that this person still had some abilities. As Zhu Biao originally said, Goryeo's reform line was correct, but they were too hasty. It would take decades to slow things down.
It takes several years to finish cooking.
It is understandable that the King of Goryeo's wife died, which caused some mental problems. Since Xin Min could figure out the correct reform route, how could he not know how to implement it?
Unless he just wanted to finish off Goryeo and fish in troubled waters, after all, he has the reputation of a "sage" among the Goryeo people.
It's a pity that the establishment of Lee's Korea showed that he failed in the end. Zhu Biao actually didn't know this person's experience in history. After all, he didn't have the time to read the ancient history of a big and small country.
However, this person is indeed a good chess piece, with great abilities, sufficient ambition, and his current status is just right.
Li Chenggui was just a Goryeo general now, and Zhu Biao did not have the energy to support him, and was even prepared to kill him to save him from causing trouble.
The general plan has been finalized, but the specifics will definitely depend on how the people sent are implemented. After all, it is so difficult to transmit information now. The news Zhu Biao is reading about Korea is two months old, and the latest one has not yet been sent.
Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing. This is really good. Although Goryeo is small, it is also a country with its own cultural heritage. It is not easy to deal with it perfectly. Zhu Biao himself will definitely not be able to go.
There are many people in the court who can do this. After all, they all started out as rebels, but their own official duties cannot be separated from them, so it is a coincidence that Yao Guangxiao came when Zhu Biao needed him most.
Of course, the details will depend on the conversation with Yao Guangxiao tomorrow, but Zhu Biao thinks there will be no problem, and Yao Guangxiao is not a fool.
What's more, everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. If Yao Guangxiao really doesn't know how to praise him, Zhu Biao can only send him on his way.
Zhu Biao got up and left the Wenhua Hall. After Liu Jin asked, he went to pass the meal. Zhu Biao went to the pavilion and sat down. Summer has arrived and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Nuan Yu was holding a fan to fan Zhu Biao. Xiao Shuang'er came over with herbal tea. Cicadas were chirping and frogs were chirping all over the city. In the distance, the little eunuchs were catching cicadas and driving away frogs.
Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and thought about Japan silently. After taking over Goryeo, he should deal with Japan. The Yuan Dynasty thought the same way at the time. After Goryeo surrendered, the Yuan Dynasty asked Goryeo to cooperate with the Yuan army in attacking Japan and be responsible for shipbuilding and military support.
, held two Eastern Expeditions.
In addition to conquering Japan, the purpose of the Yuan Dynasty at that time was to consume the strength of the new annexed armies of the Southern Song Dynasty. After all, their numbers were too many.
In the first battle, the Japanese army was at a disadvantage due to the massed infantry tactics of the Yuan army and the power of the thunderous gunpowder weapons. The Yuan army, which was ordered by Kublai Khan, consisted of Mongolian, Han and Korean troops.
A coalition composed of ethnic armies. The Mongolian army is not only far superior to Japan in terms of combat effectiveness but also tactics.
But it turned out that the Japanese army that was stuck in the mountains waited for a typhoon, which directly overturned more than 200 warships of the Yuan army. Due to the tenacity of the Japanese army, Xindu retreated back to the country on the remaining ships overnight.
The second time is very famous. A typhoon that lasted for two days, also known as the very famous "divine wind", attacked the Yuan army fleet and destroyed most of the ships.
In fact, it cannot be said that God helped Japan. The Yuan Dynasty did not understand the ocean climate at that time, and its ships were indeed somewhat fragile.
Therefore, Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to deal with Japan. After all, sea combat was needed. Warships and well-trained soldiers were also crucial. Moreover, there were too many surprises on the sea. Ming Dynasty could not afford the failure of an expedition now.
Zhu Biao planned to go to Tanghe after handling the relocation matters. He had been responsible for resisting Japanese pirates for some time, and the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty was also under Tanghe's control.
Hearing that many Japanese people had been surrendered and enslaved, Zhu Biao planned to select some suitable people, train them for a period of time, and then let them return to their hometown to cause trouble.
It is a good way to use barbarians to rule barbarians. Those who can play pirates cannot survive in their hometowns, and they are unlikely to have any feelings of loyalty to the emperor. There are no better spies than them.
After a while, Liu Jin led the young eunuchs back with dishes. There were only four dishes for dinner today. Considering Zhu Biao's current physical needs, there was no pressure to eat most of them.
After finishing the meal, Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin: "How is Quan Xu? Is there any news?"
Liu Jin bowed and returned: "I haven't heard from him since he left in a hurry last month. How about I ask Mao Xiang?"
Zhu Biao waved his hand, Quan Xu was the orphan of Zhu Yuanzhang's old brother, and had served as Zhu Biao's military commander. He was a direct confidant of the Zhu family, and his father also valued Quan Xu very much.
Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had his own arrangements for the various Mongolian ministries, so he asked Quan Xu to handle it. This was a rare test.
When Liu Jin saw Zhu Biao waving his hand, he stopped talking about it and said, "Sir, these are trivial matters. Your wedding is the most important thing for me."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "I can't get involved in wedding matters. Those are handled by the etiquette department. I don't care what they do."
Liu Jin said with a smile: "I heard that the Kaiping Palace has been organizing it since last month. The prince has personally gone to Jiangnan several times just to prepare for the dowry of the Crown Princess."
