Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 262 Chapter 262 Koryo Envoy

How does Wang Buli understand the xp of these hungry ghosts?
Everyone is different.

As for Ye Qinhuai's packaging, he was just bragging before.

Of course, A Chinese Ghost Story is the first choice for dramas involving people and ghosts, but Wang Buli was too lazy to write it.

So when Li Jinglong asked, Wang Buli coughed directly:
"Niece, you might as well create some fan characters."

"What do you mean?"

"After a period of circulation, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become well known to everyone.

Many of the women in it are stunningly beautiful, and the girls at Ye Qinhuai also play role-playing, do you understand?

You train them, try to fit the position of the women in the book, and try to make the fireworks less breathtaking. "

The maiden is extremely attractive to many readers, not to mention that they can experience it live.

So among the congratulations of a group of people, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing on the city gate tower, was very emotional.

He desperately hoped that Lao Zhu could give him a few more days off, but for now, no one could change his mind.

After Lao Zhu's birthday, they all went to Fengyang to train troops, and Jingjiang King Zhu Tiezhu also settled in Guangxi.

But this was the first time for him to participate in this kind of festival, thinking that according to Lao Zhu's temperament, he would give a banquet after completing the ceremony.

Although the fan role play in front of him was not as beautiful as he imagined, Wang Buli felt that it could still be done.

Then Wang Buli took Zhu Mingxiu home to hold a sacrifice. On New Year's Eve, he cleaned the hall. At five o'clock, he got up and displayed colorful cakes and fruits in the shrine. He first offered sacrifices with jelly beans and rice balls, called Jie Zao.

After all, the king's heart is unpredictable. Wang Buli felt that Lao Zhu was a bit sensitive, so it was better not to touch him easily.

He is holding Diao Chan on the left and Xiao Qiao on the right.

There was no snow in the winter of Hongwu's ninth year, and New Year's Day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Li Jinglong's eyes lit up: "Uncle, after I complete the training, I will ask you to test it first and give me your opinions."

In the city of Nanjing, whether they are officials or ordinary people, they have been busy in the world for fame and livelihood.

Then as usual, he will also speak.

The essence of imperial power is family rule, where one family rules all families in the world.

Wang Buli really has no interest in these things.

In the main hall, everyone raised their wine glasses to congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang.

The word role-playing sounds interesting to Li Jinglong.

"I understand."

Finally, I am looking forward to being able to breathe a sigh of relief again in the New Year.

Although Zhu Biao often attends important occasions, his mentality is completely different.

Ceremonies always go in the direction of increasing the imperial power.

Wang Buli was dressed in fine clothes and mingled with the crowd. This was not the first time for everyone to meet him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and his congratulations to Daming were much stronger than his congratulations to him on his birthday.

It is even necessary to build various structures such as the Sheji, Sun, and Moon altars for sacrifice this year to show that they are herders for heaven.

All the officials expressed their congratulations, and even Wang Buli couldn't avoid writing a tacky New Year's message to Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang paid great attention to details in this area.

The King of Qin led the kings, princes-in-law, civil and military officials to Hongwumen to pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After the sacrifice is completed, the rice balls are distributed to the Jia people, which are called happy balls.

Originally, he wanted to make a cake to celebrate Ming Dynasty's tenth birthday, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused again.

It’s a bit exciting just thinking about it!

"Forehead?"

"Good." Wang Buli nodded slightly.

Lao Zhu's birthday was not far from New Year's Day, so Wang Buli felt that this holiday came extremely early.

Several princes who were training in their hometown of Fengyang also came back before New Year's Day.

Wang Buli didn't want to get into trouble, so he just had to endure it.

On New Year's Day, people should offer incense to their ancestors and worship them with cooked food from three animals. When the incense burns out, they can take off the cooked food and share it with others.

But for officials in the capital, the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to New Year's Day etiquette.

How can we share the profits with other people? Isn’t that ruining the culture?
It’s easy for people to have thoughts that they shouldn’t have.

Zhu Yuanzhang liked this sense of ritual very much, using it to strengthen his authority as the emperor.

Because the words on the cake have different meanings, representing the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

There is quite a kind of Comrade Xiao Zhu, look at it, this is the look I have given you in the world, work hard from now on, it is all left to you.

Of course Wang Buli didn't get to eat at home, and Zhu Mingxiu returned to the palace.

Its understanding of power is not based on public trust, but on blood.

Only with the same blood flowing in the veins can we share power.

Therefore, the "king with a different surname" must be destroyed by Liu Bang, and the top nobles cannot tolerate Zhu Yuanzhang.

No matter what hardships they have experienced together, they still treat each other as brothers.

When Lao Zhu's butt sits on that only position, the past can only be the past.

Everything has to look to the present.

For emperors, bloodline determines everything.

If you are not from an immediate family member, you will definitely be rejected.

Since the Qin Dynasty, imperial power has been of the same nature, but the establishment of dynasties has been different.

The birth of the Qin Empire was the result of a long-term struggle for hegemony among various countries, with the strong winning.

Jin, Sui, Tang, and Song belong to another model.

Powerful figures such as the great nobles and warlords within the old regime seized power through coups or rebellions.

The Yuan and Qing empires were alien rule formed by powerful external military invasions that led to the disintegration of the Han regime in the Central Plains ("subjugation").

Apart from this, only the Han and Ming dynasties were countries that were created by "common uprisings" after long-term wars of peasant uprisings.

The new regime was defeated with bare hands by "common men", and no one stole the power first.

The status of Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang as leaders was gradually and historically formed during the "uprising" process.

During the Han and Ming dynasties, when the world was uncertain, heroes and talents emerged in large numbers, and those who "revolted" formed a new force together.

Although there is a master-slave relationship within the group (later the relationship between monarch and minister), the leader of the group does not enjoy exclusive prestige.

in contrast.

Many members of the new forces have heroic reputations, major achievements, military prowess, and political capital.

There are many people who are so-called "who have great achievements and shock the master".

Once the mission of conquering the world is over, they will immediately face a power struggle within powerful groups.

How to centralize power and truly consolidate it was what the founders needed to think about.

Therefore, Liu Bang spent several years to eliminate kings with different surnames, while Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated heroes in a more precise and reliable manner and eliminated potential threats to imperial power.

The imperial power will not give up its pursuit of "family and world", and no one knows where the proper and stable method is.

The purpose of enfeoffing the kings was to act as a barrier so that the imperial family would not be alone.

But this purpose is based on a naive premise, that is, the kings will never have personal ambitions.

In order to prevent this layer, the difference between real sealing and virtual sealing arises.

The so-called real seal means that the prince has a territory, even an army, and actually owns a small kingdom.

The fictitious title only gives the person a title, a salary, and a manor, and he enjoys status but not real power.

Because of the Seven Kings Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty was all about preventing vassal kings from causing rebellion, but eunuchs and relatives came out to interfere in politics again.

Therefore, based on the Eastern Han Dynasty issue, Cao Wei mainly had two directions. One was to strictly prevent the eunuchs and relatives, and the other was to prevent the feudal kings from separatist rule.

As the saying goes, like a gourd in water, if you press this one, another one will float up.

It is true that Wei never suffered from problems with vassals, eunuchs, or relatives, but he raised a bureaucratic family, the Sima family.

Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, thought he had figured out the reason for the demise of the Cao family, which was that the Wei State "imprisoned the kings and isolated the imperial family", which made the emperor easily manipulated until he surrendered the country.

He could never let this happen in Jin Dynasty, so he granted a royal title.

Less than forty years later, the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out and foreign invasions severely taught the noble scholars a lesson.

All dynasties did not dare to take this approach, and then Lao Zhu picked it up again.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know its dangers and harms, so he picked it up out of helplessness.

Secondly, you are too confident!

After the banquet, Lao Zhu sent all the civil and military officials home to reunite with their families, leaving behind his family, which was beginning to take shape.

Then we began to educate our children. As the consort, Wang Buli could also listen honestly.

Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard to consolidate the imperial power forever. He hoped that all the disciples would work together to defend the imperial family.

Lao Zhu believes that flesh-and-blood relatives will naturally achieve an understanding of common interests and form a close group, and exclude all forces of different surnames or other group forces that try to covet these interests.

Zhu Yuanzhang never forgot that he was born a commoner, so he always trained his sons and asked them to be frugal.

But Wang Buli knew deeply that Lao Zhu's sons did not understand his father's good intentions at all.

You have been miserable all your life, even being an emperor is miserable.

We are not living a "happy" life now, and we must be happy after I pass away.

If they were suppressed too hard, they would naturally become extremely arrogant and do many evil things in the local area once they were able to leap out of the sea.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still overconfident and feels that his education level is no problem.

Of course, when it comes to matters and education, there are indeed few emperors who used more brains, expended more energy, and thought of more methods than Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the key to the chaos among the vassal kings lies in the failure of education and lax family laws.

As long as he, the "ancestor", pays attention to the education of his children and establishes rules in advance, the move to establish the vassal will definitely have good results and become the true guarantee of imperial power.

He undoubtedly felt that this was a perfect plan that was mutually reinforcing and foolproof, and even the knot that had always been unstable in imperial power finally came to an end with him.

It cannot be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's method is ineffective, but from a consequentialist perspective, it is in vain!
After the fourth brother Zhu Di captured Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang's conceited wishes could only be wishful thinking.

At this moment, Wang Buli discovered that the performances of the older feudal kings had a strong sense of craftsmanship.

Their acting skills are still too immature.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was still immersed in his preaching, and he did not realize whether his sons really agreed with his ideas.

Maybe Wang Buli himself didn't realize that apart from Lao Zhu's emphasis on Zhu Biao's lineage, his education was only effective for Zhu Biao, and the other vassal kings might have scolded their mothers long ago.

Everyone is the son of the emperor, why can you be the emperor?

Zhu Yuanzhang was too superstitious about his example, charisma, authority and carefully planned blueprint. He thought that he had achieved perfection and everything was under control.

"From now on, descendants will only abide by established laws to stabilize the world." Others have no reason and cannot act according to his arrangements.

Many people think that no matter how great the monkey monkey is, he cannot jump out of the Tathagata Buddha's hand.

People who think they are great often make this mistake.

As a pillow person, Zhu Mingxiu soon discovered that her husband was wandering in the world and didn't know what to think about.

She had long been used to it. Her father would do it every year anyway, so she would just tolerate it and get over it.

So Zhu Mingxiu gently put her little hand on Wang Buli's hand: "Husband, my hands are cold."

"I'll keep you warm."

Wang Buli whispered and held Zhu Mingxiu's hands in his.

This scene was seen by Princess Lin'an next to her, and she poked Li Qi with her hand to show him how her brother-in-law loved her woman.

Li Qi quickly put Princess Lin'an's hand on her heart and snorted Wang Buli.

Wang Buli didn't even bother to talk to him. This kid's IQ was very different from his father Li Shan's. He always felt that they were both consorts and that he had stolen his limelight.

You are Li Shanchang's son, so you have the opportunity to marry the princess.

But it's also because you are Li Shanchang's son, Lao Zhu won't be so concerned about you.

Wang Buli saw it clearly, but many people couldn't understand it, and he wouldn't tell anyone.

How did Yang Xiu die?

The food at the royal family banquet was mediocre. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had strong self-control and did not enjoy life. He did not have a strong need for food and drink.

It would be better for Wang Buli to have another meal after returning home.

at night.

Zhu Mingxiu was calculating, looking at the ledger, and calculating the recent sales of stoves.

After Wang Buli taught her, she became a hands-off shopkeeper, so she didn't have to worry about giving birth to a child every day.

Find her something to do.

"Husband, we have been married for almost three months, why is my stomach still not growing?"

"Your fourth brother has been married for more than half a year, isn't your sister-in-law not pregnant with a baby?" Wang Buli lay on the bed that the maid had warmed in advance:

"It is bad for a woman's health to get pregnant too early. I am from a medical family, can I lie to you?"

"Too."

Zhu Mingxiu put down the accounts in his hands, got into the warm bed, and leaned on Wang Buli's arm.

"Husband, why do you seem unhappy in the hall today?"

"I'm not unhappy. I just feel that listening to my father talk loudly over there is worse than sleeping with you at home."

"Hehehe, you are the only one who knows how to coax people."

Wang Buli patted Zhu Mingxiu's arm gently, complaining about her father's words in his heart, and stipulated that he should not say it outside.

Lao Zhu is now very proud and wants to pursue his own set goal. Who dares to stop him?
When the time comes, there will be a bloody storm, and Wang Buli thinks that if he can escape, then everything will be fine.

Wang Buli originally wanted to continue going to the county government office to clock in for work, but Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to receive Lin Qiwei, the envoy of Goryeo (North Korea).

Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites, was in a good mood recently because his daughter was about to be born.

Talking to Wang Buli about the current situation in Goryeo, Goryeo's attitude towards the Yuan and Ming regimes continued to be ambiguous, with both snakes and rats at both ends.

There was another internal coup in which the king was killed. Especially at that time, the Ming Dynasty envoy was inexplicably killed in Goryeo.

For various reasons, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a bad temper, became more and more disgusted with Goryeo, and even threatened to launch an army to cross the sea to attack and teach this disobedient vassal state a lesson.

But this was just an angry talk, but the kings and ministers of Goryeo did not dare to gamble.

Goryeo was unwilling to offend the Ming Dynasty and had to actively apologize.

Nowadays, there are no telephones or telegraphs, so communication between the two parties can only rely on envoys.

The trouble is: Zhu Yuanzhang not only closed the northern border gate several times and drove the Korean envoys home.

Once, he even ordered people to beat up the Korean envoys and exile them to distant Guangxi to feed mosquitoes.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to let the Yuan people living in Yunnan know the news and collude with these Korean people to see if they could lure the snake out of its hole and beat him.

Zheng Mengzhou, the chief envoy of Goryeo, was a member of the Xiangming faction. In the first two years, he insisted on serving the Ming Dynasty and opposed serving the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He was exiled by the powerful Goryeo official Li Renren for two years before he was recalled by the new king and returned to the Ming Dynasty to pay homage to the dock.

Because people from the Ming Dynasty arrived in the Japanese country last year, the Japanese pirates had very little turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, and they all gathered in Goryeo and other places.

Therefore, the powerful minister Li Renren suspected that the Ming Dynasty was driving the Japanese to come to Goryeo to cause destruction, and he also confirmed that Wang Baobao, the great king of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, was dead.

Only then did he agree to let Zheng Mengzhou come back, and tried to go to Ming Dynasty to rebuild their friendship.

Wang Buli stood at the gate of Nanjing and watched the team of North Korean envoys approaching.

Generally speaking, although the Goryeo envoys tried their best to maintain their dignity, except for a few officials, most of the other attendants had their hands, feet and faces chapped from the cold.

"This is Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and Bu Li, the Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty."

Listening to the introduction by the head of the Ministry of Rites, Goryeo envoy Zheng Mengzhou quickly saluted. As an envoy, he could still speak Chinese.

When the Red Scarf Army conquered Goryeo, he followed the King of Goryeo to hunt south.

Wang Buli listened to his salute and self-introduction, eager to see the Emperor of Heaven.

"The Emperor is busy with official duties, so please stay at the Huitong Hall first."

Seeing that Wang Buli didn't want to talk, Lu Ben took the initiative to make arrangements.

Wang Buli was thinking about how long it would take Li Chenggui to usurp the country. He couldn't remember clearly.

"Are Japanese pirates rampant in Goryeo?"

Zheng Mengzhou nodded repeatedly to Wang Buli's sudden inquiry about Japanese pirates. Japanese pirates were extremely rampant in Goryeo, especially after the new king succeeded to the throne, they became even more rampant.

"Returning to the Prince Consort, Li Chenggui, the marshal of Northeast Goryeo, and Cui Ying, the third interrogator, led the troops to fight against the Japanese in the east and west rivers of Gyeonggi Province."

Wang Buli nodded slightly: "How many soldiers are under your command?"

"There are about 25,000 people and 300 warships. We don't see Japanese pirates coming now in winter, and they will only intensify after spring."

Zheng Mengzhou was surprised why the prince-in-law was so interested in the Japanese pirates' questions, but he still answered truthfully.

As a loyal fan of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Mengzhou believes that many domestic issues can be solved only by taking refuge in the arms of the Ming Dynasty.

Bei Yuan is already a stranger and will be defeated by Ming sooner or later.

It is a pity that the people in power in the Goryeo Dynasty now prefer the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Zheng Mengzhou came here to solve this problem.

Wang Buli guessed that the Japanese pirates did not come to the Ming Dynasty because they found a better soft persimmon to make trouble in Gaoli.

They were afraid of being beaten in the Ming Dynasty, and they may not dare to come and make trouble in the short term from now on.

The date when the Yuanyang Formation was used to test against Japanese pirates has to be further back.

Lu Ben also wondered why Wang Buli asked about the Japanese pirates first. Shouldn't he first ask about the situation between Goryeo and Beiyuan?
