Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "Actually, from the beginning, I didn't expect that our two brothers would be able to live in such harmony today. I first thought that I would kill you sooner or later. After all, I have to be wary of you for many things that happened.
, Fortunately, the adoption has completely resolved the conflict between us, and coupled with the things Baozong did in a retrograde manner, the situation has developed into a good place."
Zhu Jianshen was silent for a while, "Actually, I saw what happened in the eighth year of Jingtai, and I was unwilling to communicate with him. In the Tumu Fort incident, he almost destroyed all the foundation left by Taizu. If it weren't for Your Majesty,
He tried to turn the tide with Yu Qian when the mountains and rivers were about to collapse, and he became the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Jianji smiled and said, "Actually, he was the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty. Saying this may make you feel a little uncomfortable, but this is a fact. If I, Zhu Jianji, hadn't come out of nowhere, you wouldn't know what he could do.
The simplest point is that he is very likely to succeed in the eighth year of Jingtai. Once he succeeds, my father will die. He is not as kind as my father, so not only will my father die, but Yu Shaobao and many other people will suffer from this.
Death, think about it, even Yu Shaobao has to be killed, how can he be a sinner through the ages?"
Zhu Jianshen thought for a moment and said, "I don't feel uncomfortable."
To be honest, the situation in the eighth year of Jingtai was that His Majesty Zhu Qiyu was sitting on the throne, and the Baozong used the golden sword to summon rebellion, which was not within the etiquette and law.
Did His Majesty Zhu Qiyu treat him badly?
He was just imprisoned in Nangong.
Although his life was a little more miserable, it did not prevent him from living comfortably. He had many children in those years.
As for killing Yu Qian...
Zhu Jianshen can also think of it.
After all, when Baozong was at Yexian's camp, Yu Qian had no concern for Baozong's life safety and directly let the army bombard Yexian's camp. It is understandable that Baozong hated Qian.
Moreover, it was Yu Qian who supported Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne.
In a way, it was Yu Qian who supported Zhu Qiyu to take the throne that should have been Zhu Qizhen's.
So killing Yu Qian is very possible.
But Baozong also didn't want to think about what price the Ming Dynasty would have to pay to stabilize the country if it had not supported Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne and the Ming Dynasty's king had been captured first.
So Zhu Jianshen said that Baozong was the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Jianshen even somewhat agreed.
This rhetoric was originally proposed by him just now.
Zhu Jianji continued: "If you say you don't feel uncomfortable, in fact, I know that you are trying to take care of my thoughts. Although you have been adopted by the King of Yue, you are still a Baozong and a bloodline, but you no longer have this legal principle in name. Continue
You are the son of a man, how can you not have some family affection?"
Zhu Jianshen stopped talking.
The two brothers have already had a frank conversation, so it would be uninteresting for him to continue to quibble.
So he smiled slightly and said, "Fate..."
Zhu Jianji laughed, "Actually, fate has been very good to you and me. We brothers have feelings. I am very happy to have this situation now. To be honest, it's not that I haven't thought about killing you, but you
I grew up together after all, so..."
The topic changed, "Let's talk about political affairs. According to my plan, next year I will prepare to conquer the Jurchens, and then sweep across the entire Mobei. I will also solve the old problem of my Central Plains dynasty's failure to cure Mobei, so here we go.
At that time, we needed someone to take charge of the political affairs in Mobei. I have been thinking about it for several years and I think you are the most suitable candidate."
】
The earliest idea was that Zhu Jianshen was going to Australia.
Or South America.
But recently it suddenly dawned on me.
What does Australia have?
Nothing.
Of course, Australia also has a large amount of mineral resources, but with the current industrial level of the Ming Dynasty, until the steel battleship is developed, Australia's resources can only be looked at.
The same goes for the Americas, where there are many resources but also many indigenous people.
The colonial plunder of America was needed.
This time is probably still very early.
Therefore, the top priority is to solve the Ming Dynasty's northern problem and completely control the northern land in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Then the problem is that Mobei has always been nomadic.
It is actually a very difficult problem to control the nomads so that they have no dissent.
It’s not just about building official roads with cement.
You also have to keep the nomads fed and clothed.
Therefore, a capable person is needed to govern the territory of Mobei.
At the moment...
Zhu Jianshen is the most suitable candidate.
As for the oil-rich land in the Middle East that Zhu Jianshen dreamed of, it was too far away from the Ming Dynasty. After conquering that area, a new Ming Dynasty court would have to be established there.
Because it is too far away, one's direct descendants must be the royal family.
The newly born Zhu Youzhen had to take charge of the Ming Dynasty.
So Zhu Jianji had to continue to have sons.
When Zhu Jianshen heard that Zhu Jianji wanted to go to Mobei to serve as a local official, he was shocked. After thinking about it, he said: "Your Highness, I don't want to go to Mobei. I would rather go to a place like Taiwan."
Mobei is so sensitive.
If the feudal officials in Mobei win over the cavalry of the Mongolian tribes, it is possible to counterattack the south.
In that case, there will be a deadly battle between himself and Zhu Jianji.
However, the two brothers have opened up.
Zhu Jianshen was grateful and unwilling to face Zhu Jianji life and death.
because……
We are brothers who grew up together.
I know how you treat me, Zhu Jianshen, and naturally I don't want the two brothers to reach the day when they have no way out.
Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "Taiwan is a tiny place, not a place for you to express your ambitions. Over there in Mobei, after you have achieved certain results in governance, you will go to sea when the steel battleships rebel. There are still people overseas.
There are many beautiful territories waiting for me, the Ming Dynasty, to rule. Brother Emperor, let me tell you the truth. What I asked you to do is very important. If you don’t rule that place, hundreds of years later... about six
In a hundred years, that continent called South America is likely to develop into the biggest enemy of our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, we must take advantage of the fact that we are at the forefront of the times and solve this hidden danger first."
After a pause, he said, "I'm really worried about this vast land of China."
Zhu Jianshen was puzzled, "How do you think there are such powerful places overseas?"
Zhu Jianji chuckled, "There are some things... I can't explain it to you now, but Bai Xiu's trading firm did find some clues. The white-skinned pigs in the Western Kingdom are actually not much worse than our Chinese children."
After a pause, he said, "So, Brother Huang, after we defeat the Jurchens and Mobei next year, you must manage Mobei as well as possible so that I can expand my territory without any worries, not to mention overseas, at least around the Ming Dynasty.
We must completely resolve the hidden dangers.”
Zhu Jianshen was silent, "You can go to Mobei, but the military and political affairs must be separated, and the person who controls the military in Mobei must be the most loyal princeling. Only in this way can I dare to be the official of the border with peace of mind. Of course, I also have
This confidence will govern Mobei well!"
When he said this, Zhu Jianshen looked ambitious.
Suddenly...
Zhu Jianji saw Emperor Chenghua!
He smiled and said, "We are indeed brothers. I hope that one day, you and I can look down on the entire universe side by side. By then, the saying 'the shore of the land is not the land of the king' will be a definite fact. What a prosperous age it will be."
