Five hundred and twentieth chapters auspicious day
This promise is very tempting. Goryeo's current tributes are worth a lot of money. Lao Zhu also reaches out to Goryeo for horses every now and then. If Xin Min takes over, his foundation will definitely be unstable, and he will only kneel down to lick Ming Dynasty without any bottom line and borrow external power.
Suppressed the two groups of ministers in his court.
Only those who would gradually become orthodox in the next few generations would be qualified to bargain with the Ming Dynasty. This was very suitable for the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Biao had more far-reaching plans and naturally would not agree.
If Yao Guangxiao's plan goes well, then the King of Koryo will be assassinated, and Jiang Side, who has contacted many Goryeo nobles in Kaijing, will call for justice to suppress the rebellion and kill the traitor Xin Min who killed the king.
With the cooperation of Yao Guangxiao, Xin Min is definitely not Jiang Side's opponent, because many backbones of Xin Min's faction have seen some clues and know that if Xin Min does not get the support of Ming Dynasty, even if he succeeds in assassinating Wang, the outcome will be different.
He must have been treated as a traitor and exterminated.
Xin Min lacked a high-level foundation. Although he had a high prestige among the Goryeo people, the price was that he offended too many noble families. His reputation among the people was not enough to help him fight against the power of the aristocratic families. After all, Xin Min's reforms were only six years old.
Just seven years.
Moreover, his own corruption rate was also very fast. Xin Min, who had just come to power, was ambitious but indeed prepared to pray for the people. However, his extravagant life still corrupted this once eminent monk.
A leader who indulges in wine, sex, and wealth will naturally disappoint people. The officials who originally firmly defended and followed him have lost their direction. Therefore, a considerable number of people in Xin Min's family have turned to the aristocratic family again.
In fact, it was not that there was no news about this premeditated assassination, but it was suppressed by Jiang Side and two groups of ministers. They regarded it as a rumor to deceive the public and did not report it to the King of Koryo. With such internal and external efforts, the King of Koryo died.
Not unjust.
A considerable part of Xin Min's family has joined Yao Guangxiao. After all, Jiang Side's position has been occupied by aristocratic families. Most of them are of low origin, so naturally they will not bring trouble to themselves. They all serve under the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, at this point, all officials with a bit of vision have already seen the problem. Some resisted, some supported, and some stayed away. But in the end, there was nothing they could do. The Ming Dynasty collapsed and the Meng Yuan suppressed the world. Like the sun, it rises like the moon.
How could Goryeo stop internal and external troubles?
Zhu Biao put down the secret message and told Zhao Huaian, who was waiting for His Highness: "Go and ask the left minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Korean envoy to send relatives to Wuying Hall to wait."
"promise"
It is necessary to welcome Princess Goryeo into the palace as soon as possible, so that she can intervene in the Goryeo temple openly and openly in the name of the princess. After all, the Ming Dynasty is a celestial kingdom, and Goryeo is a tributary vassal state. If the appearance is too ugly, it will not be justified, and
It can also easily arouse panic in other vassal countries.
Goryeo now seems to be under Zhu Biao's control, but in fact it is just a lie. On the surface, he only sent one Jiang Side to Goryeo. The real people who were responsible for the affairs were those wealthy families who were dissatisfied with the reforms of the King of Goryeo and Xin Min.
They took refuge in Zhu Biao because of their own interests, and were willing to knock their heads to the ground to obey Zhu Biao's orders, because they knew that Zhu Biao had to rely on them if he wanted to truly control Goryeo. After all, the sky was high and the emperor was far away.
Zhu Biao deliberately asked Yao Guangxiao to recruit Xin Min's civilian party members in order to check and balance the powerful families of Goryeo in the future. Now everyone has the same interests, but how to divide the interests after the death of the King of Goryeo will depend on who has more cards.
It is foreseeable that after the King of Goryeo is assassinated and Xin Min is executed, the huge power hole will cause the aristocratic families to unite and make every effort to eliminate Xin Min's gang members, and then digest this power internally.
At that time, Jiang Side could not restrain them, and Yao Guangxiao could only avoid his influence and try his best to protect some important backbones, because neither of them had enough troops, and the Ming Dynasty had no suitable reason to invade the country with an army, and there was no internal control of the Ming Dynasty.
Support sending troops to conquer Goryeo.
So we can only do it step by step. Fortunately, the King of Koryo left a good chess piece, the prince who has been raised in Xin Min's house. He is the only bloodline recognized by the King of Koryo and the legitimate heir to the throne. Although the child has been replaced by Xin Min's civet cat
Prince, but so what?
Regardless of the clamor of the Goryeo clan, the Ming Dynasty will only recognize and canonize this son as the new King of Goryeo. Isn’t it reasonable for the new king to marry a distant princess at a young age and send suitable ministers to educate and protect the king?
As for how many years this king can hold the throne, it depends on future trade-offs, or how long it will take Zhu Biao to completely suppress Goryeo's group of aristocratic families who occupy the most important military and political connections in the country, and when he can appoint and remove two groups of ministers at will.
Again, the policies of the King of Goryeo and Xin Min are actually not wrong. Although they are somewhat eager for quick success, the social class of Goryeo has been completely corrupted for so long. The aristocratic families have controlled too much, and the people at the bottom have no chance to get ahead.
, even survival is a problem. Without reform and revitalization, the difficulty of national subjugation is right in front of us.
It is a pity that these two people in power are not strong-willed. They may have had the ideal of saving the country and the people, but they still gave in in the face of various pressures. The King of Goryeo was obsessed with handsome young men, and Xin Min was only greedy for power and seizing the throne. As a result, he was defeated by the huge
Interest groups are divided and defeated individually.
These are all for reference. Zhu Biao put down the letter, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Although the wealthy families have different ideas, they all have a tacit understanding when facing issues of fundamental interests.
Zhu Biao picked up the letter forwarded by Jiang Zhen again. This person was the commander of the Yiluan Division. He was considered the third-ranking figure in the pro-military Duwei Mansion. He was only recently promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang and had a clean and outstanding military acumen.
After Mao Xiang's unusual behavior was noticed by Lao Zhu, the upper echelons of the Imperial Guard's Mansion made some adjustments. After all, Lao Zhu could indulge some people, but he had to ensure that his eyes and ears were still useful.
The news is about Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng. Last year, these two people were dismissed from their jobs and exiled to other places because of their improper use of post cars. In fact, it was not a serious crime. It can only be said that Lao Zhu killed the chicken to scare the monkeys.
These two people, the Marquis of Yan'an and the Marquis of Ji'an, both followed Zhu Biao in the Northern Expedition and were considered direct descendants of the East Palace. However, they were very arrogant and became even more arrogant after returning from the Northern Expedition. They made drunken remarks and disrespected their superiors more than once.
Not once or twice did he condone his relatives to occupy fertile farmland, ride horses around the capital, and beat up the imperial censor in court.
Even in the face of Zhu Biao's teachings, these two people turned a deaf ear, so when Zhu Biao demoted them, Zhu Biao did not come forward to intercede. In this way, the Donggong disciples consciously drew a clear line with these two people.
However, most of the honorable nobles are friends. Even if the two of them went too far, the emperor and the prince wanted to beat them. However, there were still many princes, generals and captains who came to plead for mercy when they had time, saying that they should be forgiven for their past merits.
.
When the two of them arrived at the local health office, they were also elders, and no one dared to offend them. After all, they contributed to the founding of the country, and they might be revived at some point. Therefore, the local officials kept reporting, hoping that the Holy Spirit would take these two living ancestors back as soon as possible.
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and got up and walked towards Wuying Palace. The Minister of Rites and several Korean envoys had already arrived. They respectfully saluted His Highness the Crown Prince. Zhu Biao waved his hand and sat down on the throne.
"(Foreign) ministers and others congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his prosperous son and the great success of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded in agreement. It is estimated that everyone who sees him has to do this kind of congratulation in the past few days, but the people said good things, and Zhu Biao had to let people bless him.
After a few polite words, Zhu Biao looked at Jin Che, who was standing behind the Minister of Rites, and asked: "It's autumn, is the princess still in good health?"
Jin Che bowed and smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to ask for your concern. I hope that Your Highness, Princess Hongfu, is in good health. Last night, she heard that the Crown Princess was about to give birth. The princess knelt in front of the Buddha all night, praying to the Buddha to bless the Crown Princess and the Emperor's grandson..."
Zhu Biao said cheerfully: "In this case, I should also give the princess a wedding gift to thank the princess for her kindness. I heard that the princess likes calligraphy and painting. Liu An, go and send the "Rain Letter" from Wenhua Palace to the princess.
In hand."
"promise"
The envoys of Goryeo were all honorable and proud. The prince valued the princess, which meant he valued them. He thanked his princess with a thousand thanksgiving salutes.
"Wang Aiqing, have you had any good luck lately?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood the meaning. The prince wanted to welcome the princess into the East Palace as soon as possible. Although the Goryeo people did not understand the reason, they had no objection and even couldn't wait.
The first reaction of the Minister of Etiquette was that it felt inappropriate. After all, auspicious days do not just happen, let alone how can the scheduled date be brought forward in advance. Although the Crown Princess is going to confinement, there is no shortage of women in your East Palace.
Why be so anxious?
However, Zhu Biao's good reputation for so many years has finally come into play. The Minister of Rites also believed that his prince was not that kind of person. He looked up at Zhu Biao and then bowed and replied: "In seven days, there will be an auspicious day. Chengyi will get married."
Things."
Zhu Biao actually wanted to bring Princess Korea in tomorrow. The news from Korea only came in these two days, but he also knew that seven days was the limit. After all, it was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Being too hasty would be rude, and
Ceremony arrangements also take time.
"Then let Wang Aiqing go down and prepare seven days later. Although the date is a little earlier, etiquette must not be neglected and the princess must not be treated badly."
"I obey my orders, Your Highness, please rest assured."
The Minister of Rites frowned and turned around to look at several Goryeo envoys before going down. His Highness the Crown Prince was not a lecherous person, otherwise there would not have been only one Crown Princess in the palace for so long. It seemed to be a matter on the Goryeo side.
Jiang Side went to Korea as an envoy with the official title of the Ministry of Rites. Naturally, people were paying attention to him after not returning for so long. There was no lack of caravan exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Korea, and some situations could not be hidden from the shrewd ministers in the court.
However, most people just think that the Holy Sage and the Crown Prince just want to follow the example of Qian Yuan and intervene in the internal affairs of Goryeo. After all, it is good to have a loyal and obedient younger brother. He can go there if anything happens.
So everyone pretended not to know, not to mention that they had no way to intervene and go back. They were tired of trying to survive from the hands of the Holy One every day, so they had no time to worry about the small barbarian country.
