Chapter 140: The value of the first prince in history

Looking at Zhu Biao's sincere look in front of him, Mr. Hu sighed deeply.

He waved, pulled Zhu Biao to a seat in the reception hall of the Ministry of Etiquette and sat down, and then ordered people to go to his room to get tea and cakes.

Don't blame him for arranging it this way.

He really planned to take this opportunity to teach the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty a good lesson today.

Never mind whether Zhu Biao can succeed in the future.

No matter whether he will die young as in history.

Just because he is Zhu Biao and the prince whom Zhu Yuanzhang cultivated with all his heart, this identity is enough.

Zhu Biao also returned to his usual graceful demeanor at this time. Shi Shiran sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Well, why does this taste so different from the tribute tea in the palace?"

"Did Mr. Hu get a reward from his father?"

Zhu Biao was extremely surprised at this time, because the fragrance of tea in his mouth was not very familiar.

Hu Weiyong laughed.

"What's the reward?"

"Some time ago, my cook made some snacks that I thought were good."

"I had nothing to do, so I took it to the palace to see His Majesty and the Queen."

"Then His Majesty liked it very much and asked me what I wanted to take back."

"I thought about it, I'm not short of food, so let's get some tea, I like it very much!"

"Then His Majesty got me a big bag!"

After hearing this explanation, Zhu Biao nodded clearly.

Well, it's his parents' style.

The old brothers like Hu Weiyong, especially the old brothers like Hu Weiyong who have no personal interests but are close to each other, are really just like hanging around.

But when these words were heard by other officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, it was like a thunderbolt.

Makes one dizzy.

No!

Mr. Hu, how do you describe His Majesty and the Queen as if they are the old man and the old lady next door?

It turns out that this is the true appearance of His Majesty’s confidants and close ministers of the Emperor.

It turns out that even the Tian family can become the best among all families.

Unfortunately, their speculations can only be kept in their hearts.

Hu Weiyong couldn't explain it, and Zhu Biao naturally couldn't talk about it either.

How can the relationship between Hu Weiyong and Lao Zhu's family be described clearly as "old brothers"?

Do you really think that the potatoes were offered for free?

Forget it, don’t talk about this.

After drinking some tea, eating some snacks, and making a mental draft, Hu Weiyong slowly talked about his theory.

"Your Highness, as the prince of a country and the future king of a country, there are some things that you cannot look at from the perspective of a minister, an official or even a common person."

"Just like this matter of paying tribute to other countries, in the eyes of officials, it means that the matter assigned by the superior officer is done well, and that's the end of it."

"But for the common people, it's nothing more than watching something strange and exciting!"

"But what about you?"

"What you focus on must be the future relationship between Ming Dynasty and Fan Bang!"

"Are those foreign countries beneficial to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Is it economic interests, political interests, or other interests?"

"So, what does Ming need to pay to obtain these benefits?"

"How do you get them to hand over these things willingly?"

Looking at Zhu Biao who was lost in thought after being asked a series of questions by him, Hu Weiyong smiled.

This is right.

Just think about these questions.

The dignified Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Why do you want to think about how to treat foreign countries well and give them face?

You have to learn from your father.

I want face! I still want some more!

Anyway, I want to eat up all the benefits, and then talk about the rest.

Seeing that Zhu Biao was almost finished thinking about it, Mr. Hu continued.

"To put it bluntly, if you want to make the surrounding countries submissive, strong force is essential."

"I have said before that weak countries have no diplomacy!"

"Only swords and artillery are the foundation and strength for relations between countries!"

"Subject to the Ming Dynasty's military force, all countries dare not have any different intentions at this time."

"But they will also think about it. They will also guess that the Ming Dynasty may have strong military force, but will it really reach out and kill people?"

"So, from time to time they will test it out."

"If Ming Dynasty has a tough attitude, then they will naturally act like sons and dogs."

"But if the Ming Dynasty treats them with kindness and courtesy, those small foreign countries will definitely have some thoughts that they shouldn't have!"

Speaking of this, Hu Weiyong seemed to have thought of something and sneered.

"Your Highness, you might as well think about Korea!"

"Isn't that what he is!"

"Historically, did Goryeo claim tributary status to the Central Plains and Han dynasties very few times?"

"But wasn't it that time that you were still dishonest even after you declared yourself a vassal and paid tribute?"

"Just like now, is it possible that Goryeo doesn't know that if the Ming Dynasty takes action, Goryeo will not be able to withstand it with all the strength of the country?"

"Of course he knows!"

"But they dare to kill the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and do small tricks!"

"Your Highness, why do you think this is happening?"

As soon as this question came up, Zhu Biao's face became very ugly.

Because he had actually known about Gao Li for a long time.

That really slapped Daming in the face.

Although the other party was also busy apologizing and making amends.

But in fact, there is no loss at all.

Hu Weiyong sneered again and said, "Why are you so brave?"

"It's not because Ming Dynasty treated these foreign countries too favorably!"

"His Majesty actually listed many countries as non-conquerable countries in the Imperial Instructions!"

"The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have decided not to hit me, and I want the emperors of future generations not to hit me. So what should I be afraid of?"

This is to say that the ancestral precepts left by Zhu Yuanzhang have encouraged the disloyalty of various countries.

But Zhu Biao couldn't answer a word.

Hu Weiyong's narration continues.

"It seems that Yu Chen wants to make Fanbang honest and obedient."

"Then you have to get a good beating from time to time. Even if you don't kill him, you still have to give him one or two blows!"

"Just like this time, didn't all the foreign countries send envoys to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Then let's select a group of elites and hold a grand military parade!"

"Let them see the might of my Ming Dynasty's army, and think about whether their low city walls and half-baked army can stop my Ming Dynasty's soldiers!"

As soon as this suggestion came out, Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mr. Hu, this is a wonderful plan!"

"Great military parade!"

"This plan can not only demonstrate the power of our Ming Dynasty's military, but also prevent us from using real swords and spears. It's great!"

"In that case, let's just settle this matter. I'll find someone to make arrangements when I get back!"

Zhu Biao obviously planned to take over this matter.

The key is, only he can do this.

Although Zhu Biao is usually kind-hearted, he is not a good person!

This prince can convince all the princes and ministers, so he is somewhat domineering.

And this Lord, he can really do it!

After all, this is the gold content of the first prince in history.
