Chapter 332

"Wala is an unavoidable problem."

"Whether it is Emperor Taizu Gao or Emperor Taizong, they have all committed themselves to completely solving the problem of Wala, and His Royal Highness is no exception. Otherwise, the incident a while ago would not have happened."

As he was speaking, Chen Xun suddenly lowered his voice.

"Previously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once told me that if we want to completely solve the grassland problem, there are only two ways."

"The first one is to send vassal kings to the grasslands, and they must be self-governing. Based on the legacy of Emperor Taizu Gao's legacy of 'all kings keep the frontiers, serve as the country's barrier', the problem of the grasslands can be completely resolved."

"But the problem is, let's not talk about Jingnan, let's just talk about the King of Gu and the King of Zhao. After the incident, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be able to gain the trust of the court."

"If you send ministers there, it will only be governance. Compared with the feudal king, it is still far behind, and the matter will remain unresolved."

At this point, everyone understood what Chen Xun meant.

To put it bluntly, just let Zhu Zhanhe create more villains until his son can divide the entire Ming Dynasty, and the problem will be solved.

At the worst, places like the grasslands, Xiangzhou Prefecture, Delhi Sultanate, and the Timurid Empire, which are either too far away or blocked by natural barriers, must be managed by vassal kings. Otherwise, they will become as big a problem as the grasslands.

But Zhu Zhanhe is already 25 years old this year, and he only has one concubine, Hu Shanshu, around him. The average life span of the emperor is only in his early forties, and anyone over 50 is considered longevity.

Even if it is calculated according to three years of hugging two, that is not enough.

"What about the second solution?"

After listening to Chen Xun's words, everyone was thinking about how to solve this matter, but Xia Yuanji's focus was different. He wanted to know the second solution Chen Xun said.

……

Chen Xun was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands.

"I do not know."

……

For a moment, everyone was silent, and Xia Yuanji even rolled his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I really don't know because His Royal Highness didn't say anything."

Chen Xun smiled bitterly, feeling helpless.

"I also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, and His Royal Highness just said that if the Ming Dynasty's army could arrive at dawn and dusk no matter how far away it was, then there would be no such problem."

"My first reaction was that the Crown Prince had a way to do it, but after thinking about it, I thought it was a little impossible. His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything more, so naturally I couldn't ask any more questions."

Everyone nodded slightly after hearing the words.

"Okay, those problems are not what we need to think about. Even if they are, it's not now, because we still have no clue. It's better to solve the problems that can be solved first."

Chen Xun knocked on the table again, drawing everyone's attention back.

"In my opinion, if you talk about this with His Royal Highness, there is a high probability that it will end without a problem."

Xia Yuanji frowned and spoke.

"Except for Hu Hui, we have all followed His Highness the Crown Prince for many years, and we all know who His Highness the Crown Prince is."

"Although it can't be said that it's not only female se, but she will definitely not be addicted to female se, so I think, this matter has to bypass His Royal Highness."

"Same as I thought!" Chen Xun clapped his hands suddenly, and then looked at Zhu Sanfeng with Xia Yuanji.

"Huh? Me?" Zhu Sanfeng pointed at himself in confusion.

"Yes!" Chen Xun and Xia Yuanji nodded at the same time.

"I will report this matter to His Highness King Wu and let His Highness King Wu and Princess Wu discuss and decide. As for His Highness the Crown Prince... I think we have to take it slow."

"You have been following His Highness the Prince for the longest time. From now on, I will mention this matter to His Highness from time to time. If you do it subtly, it might be effective."

"That's no problem." Zhu Sanfeng agreed without hesitation.

"Then..." Chen Xun and Xia Yuanji turned to look at Hu Hui again.

"Yuanjie, you are the Minister of Rites. When the time comes, whether you are selected from among the people, or from officials, gentry and nobles, you will definitely be the one that cannot be avoided."

"Understood." Hu Hui nodded.

"I will prepare in advance, but..."

Having said this, Hu Hui raised his head and looked at Chen Xun.

"Do you want to let some news out in advance?"

"Hmm..." Chen Xun and Xia Yuanji were stroking their beards in thought at the same time.

"How about...wait until I report to His Highness King Wu and confirm His Highness King Wu's intention?"

"Okay!"

In this way, the matter was finalized, but Zhu Zhanhe was unaware of it and was still planning what happened to Wala.

Renshou Palace.

It doesn't seem very appropriate to receive ministers and envoys at their residence, but there really isn't much space in the palace these days.

Either he couldn't go there now, or someone was already living there, so Zhu Zhanhe had to meet the North Korean envoys at Renshou Palace.

"In the Jianzhou area, although the imperial court has successfully suppressed the rebellion and the remaining Jurchen remnants have been almost wiped out, after all, the sky is huge and there are countless places to hide, so there will always be things left out."

"From now on, things in the Jianzhou area still need your help from North Korea to keep an eye on things. It can also be regarded as fulfilling the duty of a subordinate country. Don't do nothing all day long and just wait for rewards from the court. As time goes by, there will always be gossip. of."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that." The North Korean envoy bowed his head humbly.

"However, the matter of canonizing the crown prince..."

"Don't worry." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand.

"I have informed Your Majesty that after the sixth hundred officials come to court, the Ministry of Rites will prepare a charter."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The North Korean envoy quickly pulled Li Feng to kneel down.

"The monarch of our country previously sent troops to assist His Highness the Crown Prince in the defense of Shenyang Guards, and also asked General Qian Yong to convey the monarch's concerns to His Highness the Crown Prince. However, General Qian Yong has been unable to respond, so this time I specifically asked the minister to bring some children with him. Gift."

"These are mountain ginseng produced at the foothills of Changbai Mountain, as well as some deer antlers, bear bile and other items. They are all cheap items in the countryside. I hope His Highness will not dislike them."

"I'm interested." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand and asked Zhu Ling to take the gift from the North Korean envoy.

"After all these years of fighting outside, there is really something wrong with my body. I am very pleased that you are so caring."

"Zhan He..."

As Zhu Zhanhe was talking, a voice sounded from the door.

"Father, why are you here?"

Zhu Zhanhe stood up, and the North Korean envoys also quickly turned their prince Li Feng around and knelt in the direction of Zhu Gaoxu.

"One thing...is there anyone there?" Zhu Gaoxu walked in and discovered the presence of the North Korean envoy, and stopped mid-sentence.

"On behalf of the great monarch of our country, I would like to wish His Royal Highness the King of Wu and His Highness the Crown Prince good health and come here to offer a gift."

As the North Korean envoy spoke, he pulled Li Feng to his feet, bowed and took two steps back.

"I dare not disturb His Royal Highness King Wu and His Highness the Crown Prince's discussion of important matters, so I will leave first."
