Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 429 Are you sure you arrested Li Chenggui?

Zhu Mi's worry is not unreasonable, Lao Zhu likes to hit [-] boards each.

Erhu looked at Zhu Yu with a disturbed expression on his face, and hurriedly told him the truth.

"rest assured!"

"Your Majesty doesn't mean to punish you, but just wants you to take the prince and princess to Beijing to stay for a while."

When Zhu Mi heard this, she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

"House arrest?"

"Father, my son has not committed any crimes, how can you put me under house arrest, woo woo woo..."

Hearing this, Erhu couldn't help feeling unworthy for the emperor, his sons couldn't think of the emperor's order?
"It's not house arrest!"

"It's just that His Majesty misses you, and wants you to bring your family and Prince Lu's son to Beijing to accompany him for a few months!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yu had a look of disbelief, his second brother made a mistake the year before last, and the old man even arrested him and locked him up in the capital.

I had such a big fight with Ru Chang, and the old man just let me go like this?
"Brother Erhu, you are really lonely, the old man is really not a Hongmen banquet this time, is he?"

"His Royal Highness, put your heart in your stomach. The emperor is very busy every day and has no time to take care of you..."

After getting such a guarantee from Erhu, Zhu Mi happily went to the back hall to Zhang Luo to enter the capital.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was so happy, Princess Qi Wu couldn't help asking.

"Your Highness, is there any great event?"

"A great joy!"

"Father said he missed us, let us bring our son to Beijing!"

"Going to Beijing?"

Wu Shi couldn't believe it when she heard the words.

"Your Highness, is it true that Father wants to transfer us away so that Ru Chang can confiscate our land?"

"Uh uh..."

King Qi, who was originally on Zhengxing's head, felt as if someone had poured cold water on him when he heard this.

He finally figured it out now, no wonder the old man asked himself to beat Ru Chang, but it turned out that he just let himself vent his anger, and then took himself to the capital and locked him up!

Thinking of this, Zhu Mi was frustrated for a while, and thinking about it was full of boundless disappointment.

Is Zhu Yunxi's grandson so important?

Can't move the grandson, not even the grandson's subordinates?

Although Zhu Yu had 1 dislikes in his heart, his father ordered him to go to Beijing with his family and hand over the whole Shandong to Ru Chang.

He figured it out, the Emperor Taisun's New Deal was definitely going to be carried out, and no one could stop it.

Anyway, no matter what they do, they have the right to collect taxes in Qingzhou, and they can still be their own king and support their own army.

It's nothing more than living a tight life?

After understanding the good intentions of His Majesty the Emperor, Ru Chang excitedly wrote a memorial to Lao Zhu, eagerly expressing his admiration and gratitude.

It's just that after Lao Zhu read his memorial, he didn't even bother to give a reply, so he just threw it aside.

Lao Zhu did help Ru Chang solve the two problems of King Qi and King Lu, but that doesn't mean he likes Ru Chang.

If Ru Changzhen made heaven angry and people complained, he wouldn't mind pushing him out to sacrifice to heaven.

When Zhu Yu brought his family and Prince Lu's son into the capital, all the officials in the capital were discussing a major event.

According to the report of the Liaodong Commander, Goryeo has stockpiled a lot of military rations at the key border from the border to the Yalu River, which seems to have the intention of meddling in the land of Liaodong.

Once this memorial was sent to the capital, it caused an uproar. Lao Zhu did not believe that Goryeo had such courage, but he also stopped the construction of the palace city of the Liao Palace, and warned Wuding Marquis Guoying to stop it in all the barracks in Liaodong. The construction of human beings, took the soldiers to other places for shelter.

The generals didn't take Goryeo seriously. For Daming, the world has been peaceful for 26 years.But for Goryeo, Li Chenggui had only been king of Joseon for a few days, so how could he have the guts to invade Daming?

From the point of view of the military commander, the king of North Korea, Li Chenggui, just wanted to gather some straight women in Liaodong, or take advantage of it.

However, to the shock of all the generals, the civil servants climaxed uncharacteristically when they learned about Goryeo.

Not only did Tang Duo, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, become fussy, but even the ministers of the Ministry of Households, Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, and Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment also clamored for the imperial court to send troops to destroy his tiny country!

Above the court hall, Feng Sheng looked at Tang Duo who gave an impassioned declaration of war speech, gently tugged Fu Youde beside him, and asked in a low voice.

"Old Fu, did their civil servants take the wrong medicine? It's not their business, right?"

"Furthermore, when we talked about the war before, they stopped and refused to let it go, saying that the people's livelihood is dying and the people have no money..."

"Are they so excited when it's the turn of Goryeo?"

"Did they have any trouble with Gao Li?"

Fu Youde was speechless when he heard Feng Sheng's words.

"I don't know why..."

"It's better to ask Lord Xin Guo after the court breaks up!"

"Mr. Xin is a treacherous and cunning man, so he must be able to guess the reason!"

While the two were whispering, the civil servants had already started shouting slogans.

"Your Majesty, if you don't send troops to conquer Goryeo, it's not enough to deter dissidents, and it's not enough to arouse our country's prestige!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to teach Koryo a lesson!"

Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair, looking at the noisy civil servants below, he felt his head was getting bigger.

He was also quite puzzled, are these civil servants crazy, wanting to start a war on their own initiative?
He, the emperor, ordered Guo Ying to act in a low-key manner based on the principle that more things are worse than less things. Why are these civil servants so excited?
Although civil servants made a lot of noise, Lao Zhu had never been easily manipulated by others, so he left the court under the pretext of entertaining King Qi after a few words to appease everyone.

After the disintegration of the dynasty, a group of civil servants went to the Ministry of War to continue to discuss the suppression of Goryeo and a war of annihilation.

Under the leadership of Fu Youde, the generals went to Tang He, Lord Xinguo.

When they came to Tang He's mansion in the capital, they saw Tang He walking out tremblingly leaning on a walking stick, and hurriedly informed the court about the incident.

After listening to everyone's words, Tang He closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then suddenly asked a question.

"Tell me, if Da Ming attacks Goryeo, where should Da Ming send troops, and where should it send troops?"

As soon as everyone heard that it was a military issue, each of them seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, chatting endlessly.

Some said they marched from the sea, and some said they imitated Tang Taizong and conquered from land. It wasn't until Fu Youde stood up that everyone shut up.

"It stands to reason that it is safest to attack Goryeo from both sea and land sides, but my Ming Dynasty does not have many troops stationed in Liaodong, and it would take a lot of money to move troops from other places. With His Majesty's temperament, he would definitely not do this."

"Therefore, this old man secretly thinks that if Daming wants to attack Koryo, the best way is to attack from the sea, reach the capital of Koryo, and force Koryo to sign an alliance under the city!"

Hearing this, Tang He looked at Fu Youde with a smile.

"Since you have already thought of attacking from the sea, then you should understand what is being fought in the court today, right?"

"What are you fighting for?"

Seeing that Fu Youde hadn't figured it out yet, Tang He reminded him angrily.

"Think about it, in whose hands is Daming's navy!"

"Then it's the emperor's grandson, so why ask?"

After Fu Youde said this, he immediately looked at Tang He in disbelief.

"Mr. Xin Guo, what do you mean, it's not true that civil servants beat Korea, but it's true to force the emperor's grandson's navy to fight Korea?"

Tang He nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

"Yes!"

"If the emperor's grandson's expedition to Korea fails, the ruling and opposition parties will have more to say..."

Fu Youde broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

He can even foresee that once the emperor's grandson's Jinghai navy is defeated, not only will the princes of the world despise the emperor's grandson, but the imperial envoys will also impeach the emperor's grandson for spending money and food, and train a mob!
What's worse, how will the people of the world view the emperor's grandson?
What would His Majesty the Emperor think?
"Xin Guogong, we have to remind His Highness quickly to keep him steady, and don't be provoked by the civil servants to send troops!"

When the people around heard this, they also understood.

"Yep!"

"Fu Youde is right, we can't let the grandson of the emperor be tricked!"

"Although Goryeo is small, it is separated by mountains and seas. Who can guarantee that it will win? If it loses, the emperor's grandson will lose his reputation..."

When Tang He heard what everyone said, he angrily hit the ground with a walking stick.

"Since you've all thought about it, why are you still staying with this old man? Why don't you hurry up and remind the emperor grandson!"

Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others were shocked when they heard the words, and they immediately left Mr. Xin Guo and ran away.

However, the two were still one step too late, and when the two of them arrived at the palace, the civil servants had already entered the palace one step ahead of them.

"It happened!"

"Let's hurry up, we must meet the emperor grandson before them!"

When Fu Youde and Feng Sheng were in a hurry, the small court meeting in Qianqing Palace had already started.

Since Lao Zhu restarted Zhongshu Province, there have been very few big court meetings, usually small court meetings with less than ten people.

At this time, Lao Zhu was sitting on the dragon chair, and Zhu Yunxi was taking a nap on the chair beside him.

"Your Majesty, Goryeo is indispensable!"

"Your Majesty has already clarified the name of North Korea. The small country of Goryeo still calls itself Goryeo in private. It is really disrespectful to Your Majesty!"

"He recruited female savages from Liaodong and robbed Daming's property. His heart of disobedience has been revealed. We, Daming, must teach him a lesson..."

After listening to Tang Duo's words, Gao Ming immediately asked back.

"Dare to ask Tang Shangshu, has the Ministry of War formulated a strategy for entering the army?"

Tang Duo was delighted when he heard this.

"The Ministry of War has drawn up several strategies for advancing troops, and we are just waiting for His Majesty's decree to declare war!"

"Then tell me, what strategy has your military department drawn up for entering the army?"

"Our Ministry of War agrees that it is most convenient to advance troops by sea."

"maritime?"

When Gao Ming heard this, a secretive smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, Tang Duo suggests that the imperial court march in from the sea!"

Gao Ming spoke loudly on purpose in order to let Zhu Yunxi understand the implication.

However, Zhu Yunxi dreamed about a few new books yesterday, copied them all night, and now he is sleepy, so he couldn't hear what he said at all.

"Yawn...you can discuss it, don't bother me with this trivial matter..."

"Grandpa Huang, you talk to them, grandson will leave first..."

Zhu Yunxi was about to leave as he said that, but Lao Zhu yelled loudly when he saw this.

"Stop for us!"

"This is Shang Dynasty, how dare you be so negligent?"

"I'm sleepy..."

"How about we beat you up?"

Zhu Yunxi was shocked when he heard this.

"Grandson is not sleepy anymore..."

Although Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair again, he didn't listen to a word of what the courtiers said.

Lao Zhu listened to it, but when he thought of the distance between Gao Li and Daming, he lost all desire to fight.

What are you doing?
Let them pay tribute to salted fish every year?
In fact, there were many disrespectful things from small countries during Lao Zhu's time, but Lao Zhu ignored them.

In Lao Zhu's view, this matter has no benefit except for people to say "obedience".

Therefore, despite Tang Duo's rhetorical hype, Lao Zhu has always been as stable as Mount Tai, and has no intention of sending troops to attack Goryeo.

Just as Lao Zhu wanted to end this meaningless court meeting, he suddenly heard a report from the little eunuch outside the door.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Duke Ying and Duke Song are seeking to see each other..."

When Lao Zhu heard these two people begging to see him, he suddenly had a doubt in his heart. Why did these two people come here? Could it be to persuade him to send troops to Korea?
"Announce!"

Not long after, Fu Youde and Feng Sheng walked into the Qianqing Palace, and after saluting Lao Zhu, they spoke in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, don't send troops to Goryeo!"

"what?"

"Mount Gaoli is high and the road is far away, and it is separated from Daming by mountains and seas. There is really no need to conquest."

"what!"

Hearing what the two said, Lao Zhu was so surprised that he could stuff an egg into his mouth.If what he expected was correct, the words should have been used by the civil servants to persuade him, why did they come out of Fu Youde's mouth.

"Fu Aiqing!"

"We didn't say we would send troops to Korea..."

"do not have it?"

Seeing Lao Zhu's normal expression, Fu Youde nodded happily.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty will not send troops!"

Fu Youde and Feng Sheng stood aside happily, and Tang Duo, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, would quit.

"Your Majesty, I must not lose the majesty of my kingdom!"

"Today Goryeo dares to covet our Ming land, and tomorrow there will be other small countries that dare to covet!"

"At that time, my Ming Dynasty will be fighting everywhere, not to mention my reputation will be damaged, and all the land and population will be taken away by the enemy..."

When Tang Duo said this, seeing that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager still didn't respond at all, he finally spoke his mind.

"Your Majesty, doesn't the emperor's grandson have a navy? Why don't you order the emperor's grandson to conquer Korea and show off the prestige of the Ming Dynasty?"

"he?"

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Yunxie, seeing that Zhu Yunxie was leaning on the chair and almost snoring, he was so angry that he kicked hard.

"what……"

"what!"

"Who kicked me?"

Seeing Dasun's stupidity, Lao Zhu became even more angry, and kicked him again.

"Didn't you hear, just now the Minister of the Ministry of War asked you to send troops to fight Goryeo!"

Old Zhu was an old man, and when Tang Duo mentioned Dasun's navy, he knew what he was thinking about.

He woke Dasun up, just to let Dasun see the faces of civil servants.

However, after hearing Lao Zhu's words, Zhu Yunxi said with a puzzled face.

"Grandfather, hasn't grandson sent troops to Korea long ago?"

This time it was Lao Zhu and Tang Duo's turn to be shocked.

"When did it happen, why don't we know?"

"It's almost a month?"

"I sent 1 people to Koryo after the Shibosi finished their work, and they should all be back soon..."

"what?"

Fu Youde and Feng Sheng were also taken aback when they heard this.

Although Goryeo is small, it cannot be defeated by a mere [-] soldiers.

Hearing this, Tang Duo was secretly delighted. If the emperor's grandson really only sent 1 people to fight Korea, he should be able to receive the news of the emperor's defeat soon.

In history, when Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and Li Shimin attacked Korea, which one didn't have hundreds of thousands of troops?

The emperor's grandson only sent 1 people, which is not enough to fill people's teeth!
As long as the news of the emperor's grandson's defeat comes back, the reputation of the emperor's grandson will inevitably be damaged, and the New Deal implemented by the emperor's grandson will also be hit hard!
When the time comes to incite the local people to make troubles, it may be possible to completely abolish the emperor's grandson's New Deal!

Although Tang Duo was happy in his heart, he still complimented him calmly on the surface.

"Emperor Tai Sun Yingming!"

"I guess it won't be long before you will receive the news of the triumphant return of the Emperor Taisun's Jing Navy?"

When Fu Youde and Feng Sheng heard this, they glared at Tang Duo angrily, then stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and send troops to support!"

"Mount Gaoli is high and the road is far away, but it cannot be defeated by a mere 1 people!"

After Lao Zhu learned that Dasun sent troops, and only 1 people were sent there, he was so angry that he scolded his mother.

This turtle Sun Zhen is not worrying, for such a big matter as the conquest of the vassal state, he didn't even communicate with himself!
If these 1 people were really lost in Korea, the grandson of this turtle would lose his prestige!

"Come on!"

"Decree Wuding Marquis Guoying ordered him to lead his troops across the river and attack Koryo from land, so as to relieve the pressure on our grandson's Jing Navy..."

"At the same time, order Ru Chang, the chief envoy of Shandong, to conscript all fishing boats and merchant ships in Shandong, restrain the guards in Shandong and the guards of the vassal kings, and go to Korea to help..."

Seeing that Lao Zhu was so nervous, Zhu Yunxi rubbed his eyes and persuaded him.

"Grandpa Huang, don't be so nervous, 1 grandsons are enough!"

"Furthermore, my grandson just let them scare Goryo and didn't let them attack Goryeo, so nothing will happen..."

"probably not?"

Old Zhu cursed ironly.

"This is a major matter for the military and the country. If you are not [-]% sure, you can't send troops!"

"We are so disappointed in you, I didn't expect you to be so trifling with military affairs!"

"If the entire army of 1 people is wiped out, let's see how you explain to the world!"

After Lao Zhu reprimanded Ni Sun, he hurriedly drafted the imperial decree and stamped it with a seal.

Under his full urging, Zhongshu Sheng also exploded with unprecedented potential, quickly wrote the imperial decree, sealed it with wax and passed it on.

However, just as they sent out the imperial decree, they heard an urgent report from the gate of the palace.

"His Majesty!"

"Great victory!"

"Jing Haijun's victory!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and asked again and again for confirmation.

"Where is the big victory?"

"Your Majesty, the Jing Navy has won a great victory, and the soldiers who reported the victory are at the gate of the palace!"

Old Zhu was furious when he heard this.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and order someone to come in!"

Not long after, the soldier who reported the victory was brought in, and Lao Zhu hurriedly got down from the dragon chair and asked.

"You said the Jing Navy won a great victory?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Jing Haijun patrolled Goryeo under the order of the emperor's grandson, and saw that Goryeo was disobedient, so I attacked him before it was too late..."

"One battle to win!"

"Fight again and surrender!"

"Three battles..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was already dancing with joy.

"Win?"

"You defeated Goryeo with 1 people?"

"Yes!"

Lao Zhu was even more excited when he got the affirmative answer. He took the military newspaper from the soldier and read it word by word.

Tang Duo stepped forward with a face full of unwillingness, grabbed Xiao Bing's arm and asked.

"You just said three wars..."

"How did the three battles go, did you lose?"

As soon as Tang Duo finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Bing, wanting to know how the three battles went.

When did Xiao Bing see so many high officials, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.

"Three battles..."

"Our army broke into the palace in the third battle and captured the king of North Korea, Li Chenggui, and his sons..."

"Uh uh..."

When the people in the hall heard this, no one believed it.Even Zhu Yunxi felt that Xiao Bing was bragging.

"Do you know the crime of deceiving the king?"

"I didn't deceive you!"

"I'm telling the truth, we've captured them all, and they're on the pier now!"

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded seeing Xiao Bing's words so firmly, including Zhu Yunxi who was yawning profusely.

He really just ordered Jing Haijun to wander around in the past, to scare Gao Li and come back!
Now these guys have directly captured the King of Man, isn't it a bit big?

"Are you sure you arrested Li Chenggui?"

"Could it be a mistake?"
