The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 140 Zhu Yunwen's Plan

Daming Palace, Fengtian Hall, Early Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I have this report. The Koryo envoys have arrived near the capital and will soon be staying at the Temple of Heaven. Please give your Majesty a hint."

Ren Hengtai, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and asked.

At the Jinluan Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, took a look at the memorial handed over by the eunuch, and said: "This time Li Chenggui sent someone over, please give Goryeo a name, because he wants to be king."

"Let's see that Li Chenggui is a good person. He is very different from the previous King of Korea. He just let Tianjie Temple treat him well."

This document about Korea's coming has naturally been reviewed by Zhu Yuanzhang long ago, and it is just a procedure to come here early at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy for Li Chenggui's surrender.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, when the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had not been shattered, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a letter to the then King of Koryo, requesting to occupy the Tieling Guard controlled by the original Yuan Dynasty.

However, the Goryeo Dynasty had already seized the opportunity to occupy this place, so they were naturally unwilling to give it up to Ming Dynasty and wanted to attack Liaodong.

In the end, Li Chenggui ended with Li Chenggui's rebellion.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Li Chenggui is his ally, and the words used in the memorial are also very submissive.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is trying to incorporate the original Fengyuan vassals overseas into the new Fengming system, and the current situation in Goryeo is exactly as he wishes.

Ren Hengtai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, heard the words and asked again: "Your Majesty, among the envoys of Korea, there is a woman who is Li Chenggui's tribute to His Majesty. How should I deal with it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard the words, and said, "Let's place it in Tianjie Temple first."

"The minister obeys the order."

After the early court, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Huagai Hall.

Liu He hurriedly sent portraits of Goryeo envoys paying tribute.

After Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it, he said, "This Li Chenggui also told us that this woman was selected by him with the power of the whole country. From our point of view, that's the case."

"The appearance is not bad, but it would be a bit exaggerated to say that the country is beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Liu He said: "Your Majesty, Goryeo is only a tiny place, so how many people there can be, it is naturally impossible to surpass my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "I just don't know if our eldest grandson likes it or not. You will ask someone to send the portrait to our eldest grandson later."

"If he is interested, he can also go to the Tianjie Temple to have a look. If he likes it, he can be a side concubine."

The document sent by Goryeo would naturally not say that it was for Zhu Yuanzhang to choose a concubine. As a vassal state, Goryeo is not qualified for this.

Generally, the vassal states send their daughters to the royal family in the name of sending them to the royal family. As for how the Ming emperor arranges, then they don't care, anyway, it's fine if they want it.

"I obey the order." Liu He put away the portrait, bowed and said.

At the same time, I understand better in my heart, His Majesty's doting on His Highness the eldest grandson.

at the same time.

Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunxi came out of the Imperial Academy and were on their way to find Zhu Quan.

"Sister, why did Grandpa Huang let us take my uncle there?"

Zhu Yunxie was a little puzzled and said that it was hard for him to ask for leave today like a teacher in the school, and went to play with his elder brother with his sister, but he was ordered to take his seventeenth uncle Zhu Quan with him.

Zhu Yuanzhang has many descendants, some of whom are even of similar age.

In terms of birth, Zhu Quan was only one year older than Zhu Yunxie and several months older than Zhu Mingyue.

Due to their seniority, the princes and grandsons in the Imperial Academy are relatively distinct.

"Uncle Seventeen was crowned king last year, and the feudal land is Daning. That's the frontier of Ming Dynasty. Don't you understand what the emperor means?"

"Forget it, you don't understand even after talking about it, just follow Grandpa Huang's orders."

Zhu Mingyue said.

"Okay." Zhu Yunxi muttered, and followed her sister Zhu Mingyue.

King Ning Zhu Quan was young, and he was originally educated at the Imperial Academy with everyone else.

Last year, when Queen Ning was named, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for her to have a separate teacher for one-on-one teaching.

On the west side of the square in front of Fengtian Gate is the Youshun Gate, and inside the gate are the palaces of the princes who have not yet entered the feudal domain.

Once Qin, Jin, Yan, Zhou, Chu and other vassal kings also lived here.

You Shun the door, the two children asked the eunuch to convey.

Soon, a teenager came out of it.

"Uncle Seventeen."

The two boys saluted respectfully.

This is the most unhappy place. Even though everyone is about the same age, but if they are one generation higher, they belong to the elders.

Zhu Quan bowed his hand in return, looking luxurious and graceful, which made people's eyes shine. No wonder he was just a bastard, and Zhu Yuanzhang liked it very much.

Just when San Xiao was leaving the palace, in the Chunhe Hall.

Zhu Yunqi and Li Jinglong sat opposite each other.

In the entire palace, Li Jinglong and Zhu Quan belonged to the ceiling level in terms of appearance.

Li Jinglong just sat there, and Zhu Yunxuan's eyes sparkled.

"Cousin, don't tell me when you come back this time, I didn't even know you were back." Zhu Yunqi said with some complaints.

Li Jinglong smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, it's the trade period over there in Xifan, and there are too many things to arrange. This time I came back in a hurry, so I didn't come here to chat."

Zhu Yunqi was a little unhappy when he heard this, and Li Jinglong's tone made him feel a little alienated.

Li Jinglong was obviously aware of it, and said calmly: "For this tea-horse exchange, I specially selected a batch of high-quality horses and brought them to Your Highness."

"It's just because it's too hasty and has not been fully tamed. After taming, I will dedicate this horse to His Highness."

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, the little bit of unhappiness in his heart was immediately forgotten.

Li Jinglong is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and grandson, and belongs to the same generation as the emperor's grandson. Although there is a ten-year difference in age, they have always lived and grown up in the palace.

And Li Jinglong, who is outstanding in appearance, is also of the emperor's grandson generation, so he has always been admired by Zhu Yunqi.

"Thank you, cousin." Zhu Yunqi said with satisfaction.

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "This is what my cousin should do."

"Cough cough."

Huang Zicheng at the side, seeing the two people chatting constantly, couldn't help coughing twice to remind Zhu Yunqi.

Hearing this voice, Zhu Yunqi also remembered the purpose of calling his cousin Li Jinglong this time.

"After cousin returned to the capital, he heard the legend about Xiaoling." Zhu Yunqi asked.

Li Jinglong nodded slightly, and said: "This matter has spread widely, not only in the capital, but also in other places, and it has begun to spread."

After finishing speaking, Li Jinglong frowned and said: "It's strange to say that places like Xiaoling Mausoleum are the ancestral tombs of the royal family, but the government did not stop the rumors."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunqi judged that Li Jinglong probably didn't know about his elder brother Zhu Xiongying.

So he asked, "Cousin, do you think it is possible for a person who has been dead for ten years to be resurrected?"

Li Jinglong shook his head and said: "I don't talk about strange powers and gods, such ghosts and gods are just fooling the world, so they can't be taken seriously."

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he heard his cousin Li Jinglong's words.

The speculation about the eldest brother Zhu Xiongying was directly revealed.

Li Jinglong frowned when he heard the words, and said after a long time: "What my cousin means is that someone pretended to be His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson who passed away ten years ago, to deceive His Majesty."

Zhu Yunqi didn't answer directly, but instead said: "Ten years ago, I was still young and didn't remember much. If I think about the elder brother's situation, my cousin should have participated in it."

Li Jinglong nodded. Ten years ago, he was also a member of the funeral procession and saw the burial of his eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying with his own eyes.

So he didn't think too much about Xiaoling's matter.

After thinking for a while, Li Jinglong said: "His Royal Highness King Yu looked very similar to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he was young, and he will be the same when he grows up."

"For His Majesty to believe that His Royal Highness King Yu was resurrected, apart from the matter of the coffin at the Xiaoling Mausoleum, the person who appeared in the capital must have the same appearance as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Yunwen's expression became extremely ugly upon hearing this.

He didn't have a big impression of his elder brother Zhu Xiongying, after all he had rarely seen him and was young at the time.

When he was sensible, Zhu Xiongying had already become a taboo in the palace, and no one dared to discuss it in private.

He really didn't know about his appearance.

Seeing his cousin Li Jinglong frowning in thought, Zhu Yunqi tentatively asked: "They look similar, and they are similar in age. Could it be that this person is really my elder brother Zhu Xiongying?"

Li Jinglong shook his head and said: "There must be something strange about this matter. When His Royal Highness King Yu passed away, he stayed in the Hall of Renzhi for seven days before he was buried. He was only eight years old. Even if he died in a suspended animation, he would not eat or drink for seven days. His body was not healthy at all. Might hold up."

"Not to mention being sealed in a coffin, even if you fake death, you will be suffocated, and you will not be able to live when you wake up."

Zhu Yunqi nodded. If there were doubts, there were too many of them.

But the emperor's grandfather really trusted him too much, and Zhu Yunqi could feel that if he didn't do something, when he was canonized as grandson in September, he might not be the one who took the stage.

"When I was in Xifan, I heard that there are special people outside Fanwai who can disguise themselves." Li Jinglong didn't finish his sentence, but Zhu Yunqi, who was opposite him, could not understand at all.

"Cousin, what do you mean to say, this person came here in disguise, and wants to destroy my Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunqi couldn't help but raise his voice.

Li Jinglong shook his head slightly, and said: "It's hard to say about this matter, His Majesty must have strictly investigated this matter, and there may be some key points in it, which you and I don't know very well."

"It's just that in my opinion, trying to deceive His Majesty, especially Xiaoling's side, is simply unimaginable."

"This person's past history, presumably has been strictly screened by Jin Yiwei, it is impossible to let go of any clues."

"As long as there is anything suspicious, your majesty will not let it go. My cousin should be more aware of your majesty's temper than my cousin."

Zhu Yunqi nodded, precisely because he was clear, so on the bright side, it was impossible for him to oppose Grandpa Huang, he could only obey, and then find another way.

"I would like to invite my cousin to see if I can find this person. Whether it is true or not, it should be much clearer after my cousin has met." Zhu Yunqi said again.

Li Jinglong nodded and agreed.

Different from Zhu Yunwen, Li Jinglong, as Li Wenzhong's son of King Qiyang, is Cao Guogong himself, and has a lot of connections in the capital.

It's not difficult to investigate the situation.
