Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 432 Is There Someone Not Surnamed Zhu?
Old Zhu looked at the aggrieved Feng Sheng quite unexpectedly. He didn't expect the old man to say such a thing, but he underestimated him before.

But Lao Zhu was just a little surprised, and would never change his mind just because of Feng Sheng's bloody speech.

For him and his Ming Dynasty, there is really no shortage of North Korea.Unless occupying North Korea can bring more benefits to Daming, otherwise he will not make a loss-making business.

With Feng Sheng's joining, the normal discussion gradually lost its shape and turned into a scolding battle between civil and military.

In principle, military generals cannot scold civil servants.Therefore, cursing and cursing, a certain Song Guogong, who did not want to be named, took off one of his shoes and threw it over, and just hit the Minister of War Tang Duo in the face.

Tang Duo was not to be outdone, and used his own way to deal with his own body.For a while, the ministers in the court fought each other, several wat tablets were discounted, and memorials and the like were flying all over the sky.

Seeing that they were almost done fighting, Lao Zhu spoke out to stop their farce.

"You all go back first, let's discuss it with Dasun tonight!"

"Also, I won't meet with the North Korean monarchs and ministers tomorrow, let them stay in Honglu Temple for a few more days!"

After hearing this, everyone made a promise in unison, and then left unwillingly.

"What?"

"It turns out that Grandpa Huang has heard it a long time ago!"

"Otherwise, what's the use of raising you alone?"

"If North Korea is governed, will the customs of North Korea be changed, and will a large number of scholars be sent to educate the people there?"

Zhang Zongjun was happy to thank him on the spot when he heard this.

"Although North Korea has a small area and few people, it still has millions of people, which is far stronger than the fiefdom of the Ming vassal king."

"Gu Lai will tell you where they went!"

Old Zhu smiled awkwardly.

"This……"

But now that Jing Haijun has captured the king of North Korea, should he just put it back?
Just when Zhu Yunxi was at a loss, a weak voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the hall.

"Isn't this something that your subordinates came up with? When did it become yours?"

"The humble job really has nothing to do with the Lu family, let alone do anything against the emperor's grandson!"

However, they were frustrated, and they still faithfully followed Zhu Yunxi's ideas and seriously considered the possibility of governing North Korea.

"Is there someone whose surname is not Zhu?"

"Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that we might as well open up a port in North Korea and only use it as a transfer of ships to expand the scope of business..."

"But what my subordinates think of can also be counted on my head!"

Old Zhu rolled his eyes when he heard this.

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words and looked over, he saw that it was a small official in charge of financial statistics.He had a little impression of this person, and he remembered that he seemed to be very quick to settle accounts, and he was regarded as the golden abacus of the Ministry of Finance.

Kong Yanjin and the others hesitated a little.

A group of young ministers of the Wenhua Palace who had been locked up by the elders of the family before, ran into the palace to discuss with the visit of the North Korean monarchs and ministers.

"Chen Caimi, what do you know, this is the achievement of destroying the country!"

These two guys have nothing to do, why cause this trouble for themselves?
But just now the big words have been uttered, even if this is a loss-making business, he has to bite the bullet and go on doing it!
Zhu Yunxi listened impatiently, but the old Zhu outside the door listened with gusto.

"If the land of North Korea is enshrined in the clan, then Daming will not lose the land, but at the same time can receive the hearts of the clan and North Korea."

"Humble post obeys the order!"

"Your Highness, the matter in North Korea is extraordinary. This is a country that His Majesty personally decided not to conquest. We have violated His Majesty's will by conquering without reason. Now we are still thinking of occupying other people's land. Not only is His Majesty not forgiving, but People all over the world will laugh at us for being greedy!"

Zhu Yunxi left the crowd and ran out excitedly, intending to find Lao Zhu to discuss the feasibility of this matter, but unexpectedly, as soon as he left the door, he bumped into Lao Zhu who was about to enter the hall.

"Don't discuss anything now, just discuss how to make good use of this place!"

"Your Highness, North Korea's products are not abundant, and it is not profitable to transport grain from North Korea to Daming. And the journey is far away, so the gain outweighs the gain."

"Of course not!"

"Your Highness, it's not that the humble ministers are trying to evade, it's really too difficult to manage at this stage."

"That's right, your name is Zhang Zongjun, and you used to have an affair with Mrs. Lu!"

"Chang Jizu, please clarify your words, what kind of achievement is this to destroy the country, this is clearly an undeclared war, and will be ridiculed by the people of the world!"

"By the way, you just said that there is a way, so hurry up and listen."

Seeing that the two were arguing endlessly, Kong Yanjin hurried out to be a peacemaker.

"Grandpa Huang, you are wrong, those uncles of mine are also relatives!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.

If the steamship cannot be dealt with in a short period of time, North Korea is really just an enclave.

"Tomorrow, I will enter the Ministry of Education as a scribe, and learn more from Master Gao and the others!"

"Humble job must work hard to repay the kindness of the emperor's grandson!"

"If it is the former, the imperial court simply cannot quickly and accurately know the situation in North Korea, nor can it quickly convey government orders to officials."

The Confucian family is most proud of their ancestor Confucius, who is not only their sage, but also their ancestor and their totem.

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, Kong Yanjin hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

"The barbarians accept my Chinese culture and have become a part of my China!"

"Your Highness, it is quite difficult for Ming to govern North Korea. Should we send officials to govern, or should we follow the example of the southwestern chieftain?"

Zhang Zongjun continued.

"Why?"

"The humble Zhang Zongjun is currently the head of the Ministry of Finance, and is responsible for accounting statistics."

Zhu Yunxi was so excited that he jumped up and praised loudly.

"We came here to talk to you. Seeing that you were discussing, that's why we didn't go in to disturb you."

"There's nothing to discuss about this. We've snatched all the land, so we won't be able to return it?"

Zhu Yunxi cupped his hands towards Kong Yanjin.

Zhu Yunxi had learned from Erhu's report that Zhang Zongjun was closer to the Crown Princess Lu, but since Lu was dead, Zhang Zongjun was quite honest and had not done anything out of the ordinary, so he gradually took this Things aside, didn't put any shoes on the guy.

"The dozens of vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period are just the four provinces of Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi!"

Zhu Yunxi scratched his head in embarrassment, and adjusted the time that Lao Zhu listened to the wall by a few minutes.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up when he heard these words, and the civil officials and generals in the Wenhua Palace also seemed to have opened up a new world when they heard these words, and at the same time showed surprise.

"Grandpa Huang, what do you think of the method grandson just came up with?"

"In addition, for the admitted North Korean scholars, should they stay in Daming to serve as officials, or should they be sent back to North Korea to serve as officials?"

"This is a great plan!"

Zhu Yunxi was puzzled when he heard the words.

Chang Jizu rolled his eyes and said.

"Grandfather?"

"In addition, if you want to govern North Korea, you need to send troops to station there. This is a big expense every year. Is the court willing to pay for it?"

Zhu Yunxi's three consecutive questions directly confused Kong Yanjin.

Seeing that both of them had said it, Kong Yanjin spoke slowly when he saw that the grandson of the emperor had paid for himself just now, and he had given face to his ancestor Confucius.

"Your Highness, I suggest that a clan be appointed to supervise North Korea as its place of enfeoffment."

"Not necessarily?"

"Why do we have to return the place we finally took down!"

Lao Zhu came here to discuss the North Korea issue with Dasun, but seeing that they were discussing, he was not in a hurry to interrupt.

"It doesn't matter whether you have done it or not, as long as you are more faithful in the future!"

All the people in the hall bowed their heads in shame when they heard these words, among which some military officers headed by Chang Jizu bowed their heads the lowest.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Kong Yanjin with a smile.

After only listening for a while, Zhu Yunxi felt his head was getting bigger.

However, it was difficult for Kong Yanjin to accept that the emperor's grandson made such comments on Confucius.

"They were all driven to the mountains by our ancestors, to the wild frontier!"

Zhang Zongjun's face turned pale when he heard this. He always thought that the matter between himself and the Lu family was very secret, and no one knew about it.Unexpectedly, the grandson of the emperor knew about him and the Lu family long ago, but he just kept holding back.

"See, the grandson of the emperor is on our side!"

"When did you guys see Gu eat and spit out something from his mouth?"

"Your Highness, there is a trick to being humble, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

After a slight pause, Zhu Yunxi patted the table heavily and said.

When a group of officials left the palace, fierce quarrels also took place in the Wenhua Palace.

"Don't always confront Gu with difficulties, hurry up and talk about the solution!"

"Wonderful!"

He found that the group of young people under Zhu Yunxie's command were good, and they thought very comprehensively, and even thought more comprehensively than those above the court.

"I have a question for you. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu State was a land of barbarians, so where are all the barbarians on the land of Chu now?"

"But if it's the latter, then what's the difference between the native officials of the Southwest and the King of Korea? It's nothing more than a different name."

Zhu Yunxi ignored him and just continued to ask.

"When Huaxia enters Yidi, the Yidi will follow, and when Yidi enters Huaxia, Huaxia will follow."

"I just offended you, so I'm here to accompany you."

"It's Feng Wangshu who went to North Korea to become the king!"

"The territory of China is not born to be so big, it is all obtained from others by fighting and killing along the way!"

"The countries that Confucius traveled around in your ancestors actually didn't leave Shandong Province!"

"Your name is Zhang Zongjun, right?"

Chang Jizu didn't read as many books as Kong Yanjin, and his eyes almost popped out of shock when he heard Kong Yanjin's words.

"Not to mention North Korea, which is far away in the sky, we can't manage the southwestern regions of Ming Dynasty, and we have to rely on the power of the local chieftain to govern."

When Kong Yanjin heard these words, his face turned red and then white.

No way, they can't do anything other than fight and kill.

Kong Yanjin shook his head upon hearing this.

"That's a good way, I'm afraid your uncles won't want to go."

"Emperor grandson, spare your life!"

"If they are allowed to participate in the imperial examination, will the imperial court give special consideration to the number of places in the pilot test so that the scholars in North Korea can return to their hearts?"

Old Zhu pulled Zhu Yunxi and walked towards the outside of the hall, talking while walking.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing I wonder if you have thought about it. If North Korea is governed, will the scholars in North Korea also have to take the Imperial Examination in Ming Dynasty?"

He even regrets it a little now, regretting that he sent the Jing Navy to cruise in the North Korean waters.They are even more resentful towards Qin Feng, Wang He and others who conquered North Korea and captured North Korea's monarchs and ministers.

"Stop arguing, both of you, now we are not talking about meritorious deeds, but about how to deal with the enclave of North Korea!"

"Now that Daming occupies such an enclave, it's not reasonable because of emotion, so it's only natural that he should go back!"

"What can be done?"

A group of military officers represented by Chang Jizu applauded Zhu Yunxie's words in unison.

In the main hall, Zhu Yunxi knocked on the table impatiently.

"Your Highness, to be fair, do you think this land should be returned?"

Old Zhu heard the words and immediately slapped Zhu Yunxi on the head.

When Zhu Yunxi heard Kong Yanjin's words, he also sighed helplessly.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hands indifferently.

After Chen Mi, who was in charge of the Ministry of Finance, finished his speech, Qin Jie, who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up.

Hearing the words, Zhang Zongjun felt as if he had received an amnesty, so he hurriedly revealed his strategy.

"You don't shy away from relatives if you give virtue!"

"Your Highness, how can you..."

At least, there was a lot of noise in the court all afternoon, and no one raised the issue of the imperial examination in North Korea, just yelling about spending money.

Kong Yanjin thought for a while.

This guy is right. Now that Daming wants to communicate with Yunnan, it will take more than a month to go back and forth.

Zhongshu Sheng is the most powerful department in the imperial court, and it has more power than the six departments of the imperial court.Even if you go in and become a copyist, your future development is limitless!

"If it makes sense, Gu will forgive you for your previous infidelity!"

"It's not impossible to go back. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi gave away tens of miles of land to others because of his protection of etiquette."

"They don't want to go, I'm not willing to give it to them, I'll let Zhu Yunxi go!"

"What is your name Zhang?"

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, the military officers in the Wenhua Palace danced excitedly, and the civil servants were depressed.

"However, one thing is certain, that is, the land of North Korea is an inalienable part of Ming Dynasty!"

"During the Tang Dynasty, the Yangtze River Basin was still a wild land, and there were many barbarians living there. Where are all the barbarians now?"

"I ask again, where did the Huns go in the early Han Dynasty, where did the Turks go in the Tang Dynasty, and where did the Liao Kingdom go in the Song Dynasty?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.

"Therefore, instead of working hard to govern, it is better to formulate a tribute system and let Li Chenggui continue to govern North Korea, just paying taxes to Daming every year."

"Why did you come to me to listen to the wall again!"

"This……"

This time, not only Kong Yanjin was stunned, but other people in the Wenhua Palace were also stunned, not knowing what the emperor grandson wanted to say.

"Emperor grandson, you are so powerful, you have accomplished the feat of destroying the country so quickly!"

"Bullshit!"

"Whoever dares not to be surnamed Zhu, we would have put them in the pond a long time ago, how can we raise them to such a big size!"

"Quickly order someone to call them back, have dinner together in the evening, and discuss who to let go!"

"promise!"
