Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 660 Why should I be afraid?
"The ancestral system? What I want to break is the ancestral system!!"

Outside Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry night sky with a smile on his lips. Liu Ruoyu, who was serving beside him, had a complicated expression on his face after hearing this.

As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Sun of the Tang Dynasty was ordered to leave Beijing and go to North Korea to curb the rebellion and usurpation of the North Korean military. This incident not only caused an uproar in the outer court, but also in the inner court.

For a long time, none of the sect's disciples, including Zhu Youjian, who were studying in the Forbidden City, including eunuchs or eunuchs in the inner court, dared to contact them easily.

The emperor's attention to them can be seen by anyone with a bit of discernment.

Under the premise that the emperor's heir has not yet been born, the fact that these sect disciples are studying in the Forbidden City is enough to make people imagine, especially Zhu Youjian.

From the perspective of succession to the throne, the Ming Dynasty followed the system of direct descendants. If the emperor dared to have any accidents and no heir was born, then Zhu Youjian would be the first in line!

It's just that the inner court, the palace city, and the imperial city have all been built extremely tightly by the emperor. An accident happened? That's pure fantasy.

It is precisely because of this that, except for the eunuchs from the inner court selected by the emperor and sent to serve these sect disciples, no one else dared to come into contact with them at all.

"The Ming Dynasty's ancestral system should not be exploited by certain people. I just want to break it with longevity."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe, narrowed his eyes and said: "This person cannot always hold on to the past. The Ming Dynasty is in this special period of turmoil, and it requires innovation and change, so that it can cope with the unprecedented changes! "

"Everyone is talking about the ancestral system. Are they really worried about the country? Worried about the world? Not necessarily. If that were the case, why would the Ming Dynasty encounter so many problems?"

Liu Ruoyu was silent.

From serving in front of the emperor to now, Liu Ruoyu knows many secrets. He is clear about what the emperor wants. The emperor he serves is not bound by the so-called etiquette. If he really cared about it, he would not have done it as early as when Yuji ascended the throne. He did so many things that made the officials object.

But what if the ministers object?
Haven’t you done everything you should do?
"Longevity is just the beginning. I will appoint more royal ministers in the future."

Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood and said with a smile: "The more voices of opposition from outside the country, the more I have to insist on doing it. This country and the country cannot only use some outsiders, but also use our own talents."

As for Zhu Yujian's trip to North Korea, it was already clear in Zhu Youxiao's mind when he released Li Zhu to return to North Korea.

So from that time on, he put more responsibilities on Zhu Yujian.

Perhaps some of these performances made Zhu Youxiao a little dissatisfied, but Zhu Yujian adjusted quickly, which made Zhu Youxiao not too disappointed.

As long as Zhu Yujian's performance is up to standard when he appears in the Ming Dynasty's political arena and in North Korea as a minister, the title of King of Tang will definitely be inherited by Zhu Yujian.

The Tang Dynasty vassal branch will be the first branch of the Ming Dynasty to move vassals abroad. Zhu Youxiao has also thought about the place where he wants to go, which is Dongfan.

Zhu Yujian, who has gained experience, will succeed Wei Zhongxian in taking charge of part of the Nanyang strategy at the right opportunity. Once Luzon is captured, the final vassal territory of the Tang Dynasty will be clear.

Under such a trend, a group of vassals will follow and move to various places in Southeast Asia. They will serve as one of the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty in opening up the Southeast Asia. Together with the maritime power created by the Ming Dynasty, they will cooperate with each other to conquer cities and territories, develop the Southeast Asia, and govern the Southeast Asia. .

And this is the mid- to early-stage plan for overseas migration and Nanyang strategy.

After all, Nanyang is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. It is relatively easy for the Ming Dynasty to conquer these places.

However, if you want to bring Nanyang into the unified category of Ming Dynasty, it will take time to settle, and it will also need to promote the idea of ​​​​China.

Otherwise, even if you try your best to defeat it, but you can't hold it, it will be meaningless after all.

The Ming Dynasty's vassal system made up for this shortcoming very well.

Let the vassal groups who moved overseas form corresponding teams to engage in development and governance first, and increase the connection between the two places through maritime trade. This will not only allow the Ming Dynasty to further accumulate primitive accumulation, but also allow the Nanyang region to accept Chinese Zhengshuo baptism.

The most critical point is that the maritime forces of the European countries that have penetrated into the Southeast Asia will be eliminated from the Southeast Asia bit by bit. As long as this can be done, the Ming Dynasty will definitely become a land and sea hegemon!

Zhu Youxiao not only wants to rebuild the Xuanwei Division of the old port, but also wants to actually control the Strait of Malacca! !
As long as this thing can be done well, then Nanyang will be the inland sea areas of the Ming Dynasty. Then, whether it is to the west, south or east, it will be left to the Ming Navy to gallop. The only thing that can hinder the Ming Dynasty's navy from moving forward is the harsh weather at sea!
"Your Majesty, the Superintendent of Ceremonies has sorted out the remonstrances and memorials submitted by the foreign court." At this time, Wang Tiqian held a memorial and walked towards the emperor with his head lowered.

"What did you say?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wang Tiqian and said calmly.

"Report to the Emperor~"

Wang Tiqian, who was standing with his head bowed, looked a little hesitant. He held the memorandum and said: "It's mostly to advise the emperor to take back his orders, to restrain the vassals and quell the rebellion and usurpation of the military in North Korea. This matter has no precedent in our country. Such things as usurpation have occurred in North Korea." , the court must pay attention to it, so..."

What Wang Tiqian said was all in relatively moderate terms. Many of the memorials compiled by the Superintendent of Ceremonies were extreme remarks.

He even said things that were harmful to the country.

He could see this stuff, but he didn't dare to talk about it.

"that's it?"

As Wang Tiqian finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao smiled and asked, "Didn't you say anything about violating the ancestral system, violating the principles, or even messing with the rules?"

hum.

Wang Tiqian's heart tightened and his head dropped even further.

He didn't dare to speak nonsense.

"Haha... It's exactly what I thought. It's just the same thing over and over again."

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Then I'd better take a closer look to see whether I am right or they are right in this matter."

"Regarding the matter of Changshou's appointment as the King's Minister, any memorials of this kind from now on will be retained by the Director of Ceremonies and will no longer be submitted to the imperial court."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Wang Tiqian immediately bowed and worshiped.

"Is Li Qi awake?"

Zhu Youxiao turned around and walked towards Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, wake up."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Then let's arrange for him to leave Beijing tomorrow."

Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "There is such a big thing happening in North Korea. As the crown prince of North Korea, I have sent my ministers of the Ming Dynasty to the court. It is unreasonable for him to stay in the Ming Dynasty."

"Here!"

Liu Ruoyu responded: "I will arrange this matter."

It is an inevitable trend for Li Qi to return to the DPRK. Otherwise, how can the Ming army, fighting in Korea, ensure the supply of food and wages in the DPRK? Joining the cabinet to ensure the military supply for the DPRK?

Li Ji is a very good flag, and is a key part of Zhu Yujian and Sun Chengzong's command of troops to frighten North Korea. However, even if Li Ji's usurpation is completely suppressed and Li Ji succeeds to the throne of North Korea, North Korea has the final say. It is no longer him, Li Jin, but the Ming Dynasty.

What Zhu Yujian has to do in the government is to play the role of spokesperson well. This is also one of Zhu Youpiao's tests for Zhu Yujian!
