Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 170 170 I’ll kill him

Prince Zhu Biao discovered that Wang Buli was not at all amiable to the Ryukyu envoy.

He looked completely aloof.

I hacked your Ryukyu ambassador to death on the street in front of everyone, then paraded him through the streets with a weapon stuck in his head, drawing cheers from the people around him, and finally hung his head in the Huitong Pavilion for public display.

Wang Buli was even more dismissive of you, the deputy envoy who was lucky enough to survive.

If you are of no value to me, Da Ming, I will cut you off with one blow.

Do you also want to be a dog for Daming?

Bah, are you worthy?

If you don't behave well, you won't be given a chance to be a dog at all.

Prince Zhu Biao had never experienced such a "rude" education.

The battle just now was like a knife in the ass, which opened his eyes.

Wang Buli then turned around and said, "Brother Prince, what do you want to ask?"

"Um." Zhu Biao pretended not to care and waved his hand, "Just handle it yourself."

"okay."

The deputy envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Qiang Yong, saw the kind-faced prince and directly handed himself over to the murderer in front of him. The fear in his bones broke out again, and the sweat on his head kept flowing out.

Wang Buli waved indifferently:

"Jiang Huan, take him outside to draw nautical charts and ask him to write down all the news about navigation. He is not qualified to talk to me yet.

Give him a chance to show off. From now on, Ming Dynasty will ensure the safety of its own envoys. If there is another incident of killing our Ming envoys, they will definitely send out soldiers to take revenge. "

"Yes."

Jiang Huan rudely picked up the still trembling Di Yong and took him out of the room.

But Qian Diyong took Wang Buli's words into account.

This is the sense of arrogance that a heavenly country should have!

Whoever dares to prick me, I will kill you.

Seeing Wang Buli's skillful operation, Zhu Biao sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, what dad said is right. When it comes to hanging out in the officialdom, we are still much worse than my brother-in-law.

Zhu Biao had to admit that after some people rolled into the quagmire and turned around, not only did they not feel any discomfort, but they became more and more violent.

"Tanaru Gen, you can handle the remaining Ryukyu envoys by yourself according to what I just said. If there is anyone here who knows wind direction and other techniques, please keep them for me."

"Yes."

Tian Liugen responded and retreated.

He was very familiar with Wang Buli's nonchalant and threatening methods just now.

I don't care about your life at all. The opportunity is given to you. If you can't seize it, don't blame me for killing you with a knife.

"Brother Prince, this little thing is worth a visit in person. Just find someone to tell me, and I will get it right for you."

Wang Buli walked a few steps back, sat on a chair, picked up a fan and fanned himself.

Zhu Biao had a smile on his face: "I don't want to escape from the work assigned by my father, so I just took the opportunity to take a walk down there."

Wang Buli felt that Zhu Biao was a normal person and had not been turned into a workaholic by his father.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's body is really durable.

He is even more ruthless than Jiujiu Liu.

The key is that he has not yet reached his limit. After Lao Zhu kills Hu Weiyong and abolishes the prime minister system, he will be called a high-intensity workaholic.

Now it's just a matter of adapting to the rhythm a little bit. Lao Zhu doesn't care at all and is still enjoying it.

"The prince is still young and does not have the experience of His Majesty traveling among the people. He really should not immerse himself in government affairs too early. He should travel more among the people to avoid being deceived."

"Oh?"

Zhu Biao laughed twice: "How can I be deceived?"

"The empty seal case seems to be a kind of deception in His Majesty's eyes. That's why he got so angry."

Even though Wang Buli realized it later, he realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was taking the opportunity to launch an attack and get rid of a large number of officials who had surrendered from the Yuan Dynasty, thereby allowing the court to further control local power.

Zhu Biao didn't want to explain too much in this regard, so he took a sip of herbal tea: "Do you think the empty seal case will happen again?"

"Who knows."

Wang Buli didn't know how many times the empty seal case had occurred.

In short, Zhu Yuanzhang killed people, but did not improve the system. Maybe someone will do this again before long.

"You think they won't learn from this?"

“The only lesson one learns from history is to never learn any lessons.”

Listening to Wang Buli's "reasonable" words, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.

"The one who destroyed the Six Kingdoms was the Six Kingdoms, not Qin.

Those who belong to Qin are Qin, not the world.

Later generations mourned without taking note of it, which also caused future generations to mourn for future generations again. "

Wang Buli couldn't help laughing when he heard the Afang Palace Fu that he had to recite.

It seems that the prince of the Ming Dynasty also had to memorize this thing for study, but everyone used it for exams, and Zhu Biao did it for gaining knowledge.

"Haven't you never read a book?"

Zhu Biao expressed doubts about this. How could he, a person who has never read a book, know these truths?

"The imperial examination requires the examination of the Four Books and Five Classics. I don't like to read these. It doesn't mean that I don't like to read poems and songs."

Wang Buli's words are watertight.

In fact, Zhu Biao himself doesn't like to read the Four Books and Five Classics. However, this is the eight-legged essay selection originally set by his father. It is quite difficult for him to do it.

Zhu Biao also heard his teacher Song Lian complain about the talents who were recruited by stereotyped writing. He was very happy to find out the background of these people, but it turned out that some people just stared at people, their tongues were tied, and they couldn't answer at all. his problem.

These people will not achieve anything as officials.

But at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a shortage of officials, so we had to bite the bullet and let them do the work. If they didn't do well, they would be dismissed.

This was also the time when Zhu Yuanzhang felt that these people's ability to govern was really fucking useless after the Eight-Gu Scholarship was passed, so he announced the suspension of the imperial examination and changed it to the inspection system.

The main problem was also with his father, Zhu Yuanzhang. He didn't know much about the Four Books and Five Classics, but in order to stabilize the imperial power and control the minds of scholars, he rigidly followed Zhu Xi's annotations and studied them.

"Now that the imperial court has suspended the imperial examination and switched to the imperial examination system, it is not an option in the long run."

Zhu Biao expressed great concern about this, because he could not let scholars be used by the Ming Dynasty, but would instead cultivate characters like the Yuan family who had four generations and three fathers.

If you promote him, he will not be grateful to you as the emperor, but to "Hu Weiyong".

"Then you should try to change it." Wang Buli poured him another cup of tea.

"Easier said than done."

Zhu Biao didn't know what changes to make. Selecting talents was something that happened in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In addition to examinations, what other methods could be used.

"It's not easy to change the content of the exam. What is there to learn from the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Wang Buli said with disdain: "As for the Eight-gu Jinshi, they became county magistrates, but there are a few people who know more about business than the officials under them!"

Zhu Biao shook his head. The content of the imperial examination set by his father was probably difficult to change.

Wang Buli just doesn't like reading the Four Books and Five Classics, so he hates it so much.

"What you said makes sense, but it's of no use."

"Hi." Wang Buli waved his hand casually:

"I just mentioned casually. I remember that there were imperial examinations in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Why didn't we refer to the previous generations and have to make our own?

At least it has been tested for hundreds of years, and after two rounds of tests in the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination, many errors and omissions were found. Your Majesty stopped it in time, and also wanted to find a good way. Please give me your words and suggestions. "

Zhu Biao had never thought about this direction. After a long period of war, Ming Dynasty still had much less knowledge about the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it was not as if later generations could search it casually.

The amount of information that ordinary people receive may be of a magnitude that Ming Dynasty alone could not receive in his lifetime.

"I will tell my father about this matter. As you know, my father is quite stubborn and it is difficult for him to listen to other people's advice."

Wang Buli believed this, so if Lao Zhu were here, he would not say these words at all.

In short, yes, yes.

Zhu Biao stood up and walked a few steps in the room: "Actually, I really want to use my steps to measure the world, and I also want to go to other countries to see other countries as an envoy."

"Stop it now. This is not what a prince should do. You are destined to be controlled by the throne that others can only dream of for the rest of your life."

Wang Buli sat on the chair and rolled his neck:

"You should let your younger brothers do some things. Anyway, if you raise so many younger brothers, you don't need to use them in vain. You can save yourself from going to the fiefdom and doing nothing."

Zhu Biao always felt that Wang Buli was very "smart".

This kind of wisdom does not seem to come from a doctor's family, nor does it seem to be something that can be learned through reading.

What he said casually was sometimes full of philosophy.

Moreover, his father wanted to use the vassal king as a barrier to protect the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Biao's opinion, Wang Buli understood this very well.

"Why are you so sure they don't do human affairs?"

There was a searching look in Zhu Biao's eyes: "You just have a close relationship with the fourth child. Have you met the others?" "I have met the fifth child too. He is an honest boy. He insists on studying medicine with my father. Others don’t know much.”

Wang Buli looked at Zhu Biao and smiled: "But I'm sure that with the emperor's majesty, even the fourth child would be afraid to see his father.

I'm sure that except you, the prince, who doesn't feel anything, the rest of the brothers must be more cautious in their lives.

Once they escape His Majesty's control and become the biggest in the fiefdom, they will inevitably vent their dissatisfaction for many years. "

Zhu Yuanzhang treated his children with double standards. He only cared about Biao'er.

As a vested interest, Zhu Biao has always taken care of his younger brother as much as possible.

But he also knows that an elder brother is like a father, but the role cannot be replaced.

Are those brothers really not jealous at all that he is the only one favored by his father?

It must be impossible!

"In a word, our father doesn't know how to raise children. He just thinks that he can eat and clothe himself without starving to death. Moreover, he puts all his energy into dealing with government affairs. Will he take time to accompany his children?

Maybe he has never considered the feelings of those children! "

It is difficult for a workaholic to take care of the family.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang had so many children, and 99% of the father's love was given to Zhu Biao alone, leaving dozens of people to share the 1% of father's love and the children's feelings for Lao Zhu. No need to spread rumors.

Zhu Biao shook his head again, he couldn't say such a thing.

"Father also wants to protect them and prevent them from having thoughts they shouldn't have, you understand."

"Understood, royal heirs are full of political struggles."

Wang Buli nodded, stood up and walked around twice: "Brother Prince, no one can shake your position."

Zhu Biao wanted to bring the topic to the Japanese pirates many times, but Wang Buli kept leading him away.

"I don't know if the sea map drawn by the Ryukyu deputy envoy can go to Japan." Zhu Biao forced the subject to change, saying that he did not want to talk about it.

"It should be possible. Didn't they communicate with each other?" Wang Buli felt a little strange: "Why does the prince want the sea map to the Japanese country?"

"I just remembered what you said, the Japanese country killed my envoy of the Ming Dynasty. If we don't take revenge and go back, how can we do it?"

"But I never told you."

"Do you think that when the fourth child reported to his father, he would find a reason to use your words in order to fight the Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Biao saw Wang Buli nod his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief for his quick wit.

The job his father gave him was not easy at all.

"Even if you won't take revenge immediately, you still have to pretend, right?"

Now it was Wang Buli's turn to nod. Zhu Yuanzhang had specified that he would not send troops to Japan, so he was careful.

Bang bang.

"Fourth Master." Zhong Niu called outside the door: "We have made a major discovery."

"Come in."

Zhong Niu saw the official with whom he had acquaintance and saw that Wang Buli had no intention of introducing him, so he reported:

"I went to the Jiangdongqiao Inspection Department to investigate the missing inspection officer Liu Youjiang. A fisherman reported it. He found the body with a fishing net and recognized Liu Youjiang's face. I took people to check the body and confirmed that it was him."

"Has the cause of death been found?"

"The preliminary conclusion is that he was drowned." As a head catcher, Zhong Niu also has experience in autopsy:

"A wine jar was found on the boat. I guessed that he probably drank too much and wanted to pee on the boat. When he was taking off his belt, he accidentally fell into the river and drowned."

"Okay, you ask Sun Jiusheng to do an autopsy, this case sounds suspicious.

I will write a letter to the Ministry of War explaining this matter.

Liu Youjiang drank all he wanted, so how could he find a boat to drink alone in the river?

When did he, a big-headed soldier, have such enthusiasm? "

Wang Buli waved his hand and asked Zhong Niu to investigate more carefully. It was not a trivial matter for someone from the inspection department to die.

"Yes."

After Zhong Niu left, Zhu Biao came up and asked:

"Brother-in-law, why are you so sure that his death was not accidental?"

"I recently sent someone to investigate the corruption and bending of the law in the Inspection Department, lest I suffer the consequences after they find out."

"Most of the people under the emperor's feet are veterans of the military. How dare they take bribes and bend the law?"

Wang Buli fanned himself again and sat back, glancing at Zhu Biao:

"I do not know either."

Who would dislike having too much money?

When you, Zhu Yuanzhang, become emperor, you are not very generous in paying wages to the brothers who follow you.

These big-headed soldiers, their descendants will all belong to the big-headed soldiers in the future.

All of them became military slaves, craftsmen slaves, and serfs.

Zhu Biao was silenced by Wang Buli again, so he stood up:

"I'm going to see how the Ryukyu mission's chart is doing."

Wang Buli looked at Zhu Biao's back and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He felt that Zhu Biao's words and deeds today were not normal. He spoke absent-mindedly and seemed a little silly.

Not right.

Wang Buli began to carefully recall the conversation between him and Zhu Biao to see if there were any flaws.

Without letting Wang Buli think too much, the Ministry of Public Affairs sent him the latest approval of the Ryukyu envoy, which supplemented the process of his innocence of murder.

Wang Buli looked at the big seals on it and threw them aside.

Too lazy to care.

He always felt that Zhu Biao came today because he was not interested in drinking, but he did not figure out where this "intention" was.

Wang Buli reviewed the memorial written by Wen Ke to the Ministry of War in his own tone, briefly talked about the doubts about Liu Youjiang's death, then stamped his seal and asked someone to deliver it to the Ministry of War.

After a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang just received the content of the conversation between Wang Buli and the prince.

He thought about it carefully and found that the prince was no match for his son-in-law, and asking him to talk to him was in vain.

However, Wang Buli's method of dealing with the deputy envoy made Zhu Yuanzhang quite satisfied.

That's what you should do, comfort him softly like a prince, that would be too shameful for him!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to peaceful exchanges with foreign countries, he did not want his son to be so kind.

They will think more carefully about being kind to others, and they have to think about knocking them out from time to time.

Why not give them a hard blow like Wang Buli's and make them full of fear when facing him.

As for Wang Buli's complaint that he didn't know how to raise children, it really made Zhu Yuanzhang scratch his head.

In this regard, he really hasn't done enough and relies entirely on his sister to take care of everything. How can he have time to train his son?

The first few older ones still had the opportunity to teach a thing or two, but the later children, Zhu Yuanzhang, just let them go.

However, talking to Wang Buli should not be done in a hurry.

Biao'er's behavior was still too immature, and it was easy for Wang Buli to see flaws.

It seems that I have to take action myself and find a chance to meet him.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma coming, he quickly put down the book in his hand and went to greet her:

"Sister, you should have a good rest."

"I can't take any time off, just like your Majesty."

Queen Ma put the tray aside and waved everyone out.

"Did you go in again today?"

"good."

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Queen Ma's hand and couldn't help but share: "We wanted to talk to you in detail in the evening, but since you are here, I will talk to you carefully."

Queen Ma heard that she had skiing skills that could catch the Mongols off guard when fighting them, and she also had very light and warm clothes on her body.

In addition, the problem of insufficient silver in the Ming Dynasty was solved, and we finally learned that there were silver mines in Japan.

"Your Majesty, please don't raise an army to invade the country because of this."

"What a foreign country, my sister is wrong. That is my Ming Dynasty's territory."

Queen Ma was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Chongba, recalling what he looked like when he was young.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Japan had silver mines, he had no intention of asking the Japanese king to become a vassal.

Lao Zhu planned to use it directly to avoid any problems in the middle.

We, the Ming Dynasty, don’t even have silver mines. Do the foreign barbarians deserve to have silver mines?

So that is the silver mine that belongs to my Ming Dynasty!

What's ours, what's ours, it's all fucking ours!

Who dares to object?

I'll kill him!
