First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 482

After finishing speaking, Zhu Chi hummed a little song, went to her bedroom, and fell asleep, regardless of the other two, anyway, can the prince and prince have a place to sleep?

On the second day, not long after Zhu Ying got up, there was news that he was allowed to enter the palace.

Zhu Chi washed up in a hurry and hurried over

When he arrived, he found that many courtiers were already waiting here, especially Mao Gui, Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with a pile of files in his hand, his face sinking like water.

Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to summon all the ministers, and then asked people to call in Zai Ying, the envoy sent by Goryeo.

This Cui Ying has a big face, which is very in line with the current aesthetics. He has a beard and wine, and he has a serious bearing. Although he is an envoy from a small country, he is still dignified, which is amazing.

After he saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, he bowed and stood up.

Before Lao Zhu could ask, Mao Gui first said: "Zaiying, if I remember correctly, this is not the first time you have come to the Central Plains, you must have been here a few years ago!"

This is to expose the shortcoming, Zaiying did not panic, bowed and said: "It is true, the small country of Goryeo, only by obeying the command and loyally serving the country, can it survive. difficult."

This is an understatement, but it is tantamount to avoiding the fact that they helped Yuan Ting, crusade against the Red Turban, and fought against Daming... Just from these few words, it can be seen that the King of Korea chose this person as a good person.

At this time, Mao Gui said again: "I won't mention the past. A few days ago, your subordinates showed off by leading the horses, which caused some unpleasantness. What are you going to do?"

Cui Ying hurriedly said: "No matter what, it was our negligence. We selected those horses and dedicated them to His Majesty. We will prepare three times as many horses and dedicate them to Your Majesty. I hope the Lord will forgive me."

Mao Gui was stunned again, these were the two ultimate moves he had prepared, one was the past with Yuan Ting, and the other was the conflict that just happened... It was really surprising that this person refused to accept any of the moves.

Mao Gui thought about it for a while, and could only say: "Since that's the case, what kind of sincerity is there for you to join Daming this time?"

meaning?"

Cui Ying continued: "Goryeo will get rid of Hu Feng and change his clothes. From then on, he will serve the country wholeheartedly. He will offer tribute every year and be loyal and unambiguous!"

Seeing that no one answered, Zaiying said again: "The villain knows that the witch of the Qi family has caused trouble in the Central Plains, and her crimes are heinous. My king has chosen to kill the elder brother of the Qi family and destroy the family of the Qi family. The rest of the rebels who followed the Yuan court will also Eliminate them one by one, and never tolerate them. I also hope that Shangguo can understand the difficulties of Goryeo, and accept Goryeo's internal attachment with mercy!"

After finishing speaking, Cui Ying paid a respectful visit.

To be honest, his well-behaved level has exceeded many people's expectations. At least Maogui has nothing to say here.

Although he has learned a lot, he still hasn't learned how to find trouble...

At this moment, Zhu Di suddenly said: "My king asks you, is there any Xin Ton in the rebellious minister you are talking about?"

Cui Ying was startled when she heard the name.

He can tolerate other things, but Xin Ton's matter seems to have touched his bottom line.

Cui Ying straightened her body immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Xin Ton is originally a monster, harming the palace, colluding with officials, wives and concubines, in the name of promoting Buddhism, villainizing family members, corrupting incest... the other day he deceived the king and obtained his credentials , disguised as a messenger, and came to Daming. This person has committed crimes, and his intentions are sinister. No matter what, he should be killed immediately!"

Zhu Lou laughed, "Coincidentally, Xin Wan said the same thing about you! He said that you were willing to be Yuan Kuang's running dog. A few years ago, you led the army to help the tyrants, wreak havoc on the Central Plains, and killed the Red Scarf Rebel Army. The crime is heinous, and the world will not tolerate it!"

Zhu Laosi's ability to sue was cultivated in martial arts, and he is very familiar with it, without any delay.

Zaiying immediately said: "Xin Jin is talking nonsense and deceiving people. If you can't listen to a single word of this monster's hateful words, you still have to look at Shangwei to distinguish right from wrong. Don't listen to the monster's one-sided words!"

Zhu Di suddenly stared, "What do you mean? You mean that Daming doesn't know right from wrong, so you need to teach me?"

Cui Ying was startled, did he say that?

Zhu Liang suddenly turned his head, and said to Old Zhu: "Father, a few days ago, the attendants of the Goryeo envoy showed off their war horses and hurt people with their horses. Treacherous. My child thinks that Goryeo still has ulterior motives, wild and unruly, so she must be investigated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Tang hurriedly stood up at the end of the crowd,

"Your Majesty Qizuo, Koryo was originally the eastern province of Yuan Yanzheng. Although it was abolished later, it was restored in the 21st year of Zhizheng. At that time, Koryo didn't want to conquer the Wa country. Their intentions are self-evident!"

Good guy, this move is a question of choosing the heart, which can be described as penetrating three points.

Even Cui Ying couldn't resist

Qian Tang didn't have the slightest resemblance to this.

He had figured it out a long time ago, the Shang Kingdom must be strong first, how to be strong, naturally it is to solve the vast territory, and the four barbarians will take care of it.

With so many countries, it is imperative to adopt a method to kill chickens and scare monkeys, so that people can know how powerful Ming is!

As for the rest, nothing at all.

"Shangguo Mingjian, it was all persecuted by Zhu Ying, Cui Ying is really wronged!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said quietly: "Your Majesty, listening to their arguments, it is difficult to reach a conclusion. If you don't invite someone to come over and ask if it was Zhu Ying's order, you will be vague."

Zhang Ximeng was taken aback, "Who can make the final decision?"

"Naturally, he is an outstanding student of the merit camp, code-named Iron Pot."

Don't mention Zhang Ximeng, even other people want to laugh, Zhu Yuanzhang, others are looking for faults, you are punishing your heart, you are not as wicked as you!

Let the iron pot emperor identify his own country, and you can do it!

"Responding to Your Majesty, at that time, Cui Ying was all focused on currying favor with the Great Yuan, but the Caomin didn't tolerate it, so they sent more than 3 people to help in the battle. It can be said that they are loyal and loyal. Among all the vassal states of the Dayuan, they are all filial sons and grandsons. The Caomin implore Your Majesty , can send troops to crusade and destroy the remnants of the Great Yuan Dynasty!"

Chapter 671 Ask Your Majesty to Avenge Your People

Ever since the iron pot appeared in Fengtian Palace, all civil and military officials have become slow-eyed and emotional...Thinking about it, they can't think of such an operation.

Over the past few years, Ming Dynasty has been busy adjusting its internal affairs, encouraging industry and commerce, dividing provinces, and rectifying the administration of officials.Everyone knows that such a toss, if you don't use foreign troops, something will happen.

It's like a closed container, the pressure inside is constantly increasing, without a suitable ventilation hole, it will definitely explode... To put it bluntly, the number of officials has greatly increased due to the tossing of Daming, and the content to be managed has doubled and skyrocketed. The salaries of Dong officials tripled,

Taking Zhang Ximeng's Menxia Province as an example, the current number of various officials has approached 800.

The number of personnel has skyrocketed, and expenses have skyrocketed.

I haven't seen the effect, anyway, the national treasury is in a hurry first.

This is a common problem of most reforms. To achieve results, we must first increase investment. If the results are not seen, the money will be spent first.

If the increase in annual revenue cannot be achieved and the national treasury is enriched...even with Zhang Ximeng's prestige, it will not last long.If the Ming Dynasty was made impoverished and weak, with redundant officials and waste, even Lao Zhu would be able to use swords and things to rape and kill Ma Su with tears in his eyes.

But internal reform is not so easy. It is said to encourage industry and commerce and establish a commercial department, but the problem is to invest in it. After a cycle, you can see the money back.

Before getting the reward, you must find a way to get enough benefits to feed the monster called the imperial court

Huayun has already successfully experimented in the world, and it can make money by expanding to the outside world, so there have been various voices for a long time.Advocate outward development.

There are generals in the army, such as Sapphire, and he encourages them again and again.

There are also civil servants, such as Qian Tang.

Naturally, there are also clans, such as Li Zhen!

That's right! It's Zhu Yuanzhang's harmless old brother-in-law.

Ever since Zhang Ximeng pushed him into industry and commerce, the old man had to do his best to develop industry and commerce.After thinking about it, I feel that it is very, very important to use foreign troops to open up business routes, especially to hold sea routes in your hands, and not to make a difference for middlemen.

It's really strange that the most honest person should claim to be more active than Sapphire.

Zhang Ximeng said that the imperial court's plan to use troops in two directions was not a casual talk, it had been discussed long ago.It's just that I haven't made up my mind on which step to choose.

With Zhu Di and Zhu Ying's character and talent, it can be said that they are crouching dragons and phoenixes.

Which side to choose, but also to know yourself and the enemy

This time, Hongwu's ten-year celebration is just a good time to measure the situation of the surrounding countries, find out the details, and give the courtiers an explanation by the way, to build a consensus and make up their minds.

There are too many calculations and too many things involved.

Otherwise, just to make Zhu Yuanzhang happy and spend so much money to hold a big and useless celebration, the "humble public implements" are not interested in this.

It's just that no one expected that Zhang Ximeng would actually play the iron pot card in the matter of testing Luoguo!

Letting the former emperor of the Yuan Dynasty comment on his own falling into the country, this trick is indescribable.

Both civil and military, so many smart heads, the collective love, only the foolish look

But Zhu Di and Zhu Ying, these two guys are very interested, their eyes are asleep, they are engrossed,

Tieguo also talked eloquently, "Since Emperor Shizu, Goryeo has been vying to join Dayuan. Unmarried girls in the country must first be recorded in the record for Dayuan to choose before they can marry. With the convenience of being close to Dayuan, it only takes three days for a ship to sail... Therefore, all the people in Goryeo are engaged in merchants and trade goods for profit. When Cao Min was in the palace, the maids around him were all Goryeo women."

"In Koryo, Mongolian costumes are also popular... A few days ago, those envoys were holding horses, showing off their might, and wearing Mongolian-style clothes, which is a clear proof! To help the tiger, they sent soldiers and horses to assist the Yuan army, killed the red scarf righteous men, and robbed the common people. Their crimes are numerous and hard to describe. Goryeo women and Goryeo officials, for the disaster of the court, ruined the national code, wantonly exploited, smashed the bones and sucked the brains , doing everything! Some people feed on children's brains, saying that they can become men again... It's just true or false, and there is no conclusion yet..."

Snapped!

When Zhu Yuantong heard this, he slammed the table and was furious, "Korea flattered Dayuan so much that it was a disaster for Huaxia. If it is not severely punished, I will really feel sorry for the innocent people who were killed!"

The former emperor of the Yuan Dynasty testified, who else can be more powerful than this!

In an instant, in the hall, all civil and military officials gritted their teeth, filled with righteous indignation, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other generals were ready to invite orders to fight.

If this doesn't give Gao Li some color, I'm sorry for what they did!

The same is true for civil servants. Qian Tang feels that if he wants to revise the history of the Yuan Dynasty next, he must write this part clearly so that future generations will know what unreasonable things Goryeo did!

This account must be explained clearly.

When everyone in Daming was filled with righteous indignation, Zhang Ximeng was not in a hurry.

"Qizou Your Majesty, there is still a matter of conquest of the Eastern Province, which has not been clarified."

As soon as Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, the iron pot immediately said: "Returning to your majesty, the expedition to the east was originally established to conquer the country, but Dayuan sent troops twice, all because of the storm, which caused heavy losses and failed. Follow-up Keep it all the time, in this way, Koryo is also a Dayuan province, and it is only natural for His Majesty to take back Koryo."

Having said that, Cui Ying's face turned pale and her blood turned cold.

Not so apologetic!

We are loyal and filial to Dayuan, and the Emperor Dayuan treats us like this!

It really is a barbarian, shameless!

Our Goryeo daughter, I married you for nothing!

Blind for nothing!

At this moment, Zaiying couldn't find any words to refute, so she could only run there trembling.

But the facts have proved that Zhu Ying and Zhu Liang are all younger brothers when it comes to lack of great virtues, and they are still not in the same class!

After Zhang Ximeng listened patiently, he said casually: "In this way, Goryeo not only harmed the Central Plains, but also acted as a lackey and harmed neighbors. Your Majesty, I think I can summon Xiang Guo's envoys to confront them face to face and ask Hou Guo whether he intends to take revenge? If they If you intend to send troops, I, Da Ming, can help!"

After Zhang Ximeng said this, he looked at Cui Ying, who was already twitching all over, and was about to pass right away!

He suddenly stamped his head on the ground and cried bitterly, "The wolves of the country are ambitious and barbaric. They have long planned to save the country. Now there are still many Japanese pirates making troubles, scattered all over the country, suffering a lot, and the people are crying. Little man, little man." People have heard that there are also Japanese pirates in Shang Kingdom, so we should join hands with Ji Kingdom to get rid of the Japanese pirates together, how can we help the beasts of Wa Kingdom and bully the people of San Kingdom!"

Zaiying wept bitterly, these words were intermittent, but they moved some civil servants.

Japanese pirates are definitely a problem in the sea, not a serious problem in the heart, but at least a disease of scabies.

In contrast, Goryeo is really pleasing to the eye.

But they couldn't figure out Zhang Xianggong's routine, and they didn't dare to speak nonsense. At this moment, Zhu Di suddenly spoke.

"Father, it's better to settle enemies than tie them up. Since Goryeo is so hateful, let the Japanese country recruit soldiers and horses to attack Goryeo for revenge... In this way, the Japanese plague in my Ming Dynasty will naturally be relieved, and the world will be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!"

Good boy!

Zhu Ying's eyes widened, okay, in terms of wickedness, you are much better than me!

This is no longer a general lack of virtue. The ancestral grave of your old Zhu's family is smoking, you know?

If the Japanese pirates are not easy to deal with, then send them all to Korea and let them toss in Korea, and the Ming Dynasty will live in peace, and the world will be peaceful.

You just say that this way of thinking, not letting him be a dropout, is really a waste of talent.

We don't solve the problem, we are just the porter of the problem

Moving the problem to a location where we can't see it is success!

Perfect!

But hearing these words in Cui Ying's ears, she was not only disheartened, but fell into Abi Hell!

completion!

Goryo is doomed!

The feud between Japan and Goryeo, in 2000, there were more than 700 battles.

These two countries have never been peaceful, and the hatred is written in the bones.

The difference is nothing more than a big fight or a small fight!

Generally speaking, Wa country is more fierce than Goryeo.But Goryeo can rely on the support of the Central Plains Dynasty. If it is not possible, just ask Dad to help, and it can be considered barely maintained.

But if his father doesn't protect him, and joins forces with the Wa country to bully him together, he will be attacked from the north and the south, and everyone will be enemies.

Does Goryeo have any chance of winning?

At this time, Zhu Di added further: "Father, Xin Ton has already recruited thousands of righteous men in Beiping, who can serve as the vanguard. As long as they launch an attack, together with the Wa Kingdom, they will besiege Koryo, and they will definitely win a big victory! "
