Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

"This Goryeo king is also a character."

Although Zhu Di didn't show it on his face, he was quite happy in his heart, and he could tell from his tone, "Although Goryeo and Dongying have become our vassal states, compared to Goryeo, Dongying still cannot let go. alert."

"It's natural." Yu Qian stepped forward and said, "The memorials from Dongying are just a few words each time. I want to be respectful and humble on the face of the master of Dongying, but I don't think so in my heart, and I need to pay attention to their developments at any time. , to prevent recurrence."

Goryeo's memorials can't be written in one book, and they are published in a row every time, while Dongying only has a few sentences. Compared with the two countries, it is simply a world of difference.

It is no wonder that they are all dependent countries. The Ming Dynasty was closer to Goryeo and traded more frequently.

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Well, pick a few clever ones, and send a few messengers over to communicate and give advice for a period of time. If they have any changes, report them immediately!"

It sounds good to be communicating, but in fact it is monitoring Dongying. With such a big mountain pressing down on his head, the lord of Dongying can't make any waves unless he wants to go to war immediately.

The feeling of being crushed on the top of the head is not pleasant, and the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty to be responsible for monitoring in the past, how could they be simple people, plus the fact that Dongying was first in the wrong, and was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, no matter which way you look at it, The situation is not favorable for Dongying.

Even if the envoys deliberately made things difficult, Dongying could only admit to being unlucky.

"It's a pity that Goryeo is still a little far away from us. If something happens, it will inevitably be beyond our reach 々' ."

Zhu Di did not doubt the loyalty of the Koryo Kingdom. If it wasn’t for the distance problem, I am afraid that according to the character of the Koryo Lord, it would not be a problem to come to worship every day, but it wouldn’t be a problem if it couldn’t be put aside. thought.

"My son has a suggestion."

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Zhu Gaoyu, "What is King Liang's strategy, let's hear it."

"We can set up Daming's administrative divisions in each of the three major kingdoms of Korea to assist the rulers of Korea to manage them together."

This proposal is quite eye-catching, and opens up some new ideas. There are also many remote areas in Daming that have established administrative divisions, and the capital appoints candidates to facilitate the management of local governments.

Yang Pu said hesitantly, "King Liang's approach sounds good, but it's the first time we have set up an administrative division in a dependent country. Would it be wrong?"

Zhu Gaoyu was quite sure about this, "There are always precedents, Gaoli's territory is not large, and it is more convenient to manage. We have so many administrative divisions set up, are we worried that we will not be able to manage a Gaoli.

"This is quite reasonable. There is always a precedent for it. If it is implemented well in Korea and has good results, other dependent countries can follow this meaning in the future, but I need to worry a little—"

Yang Shiqi touched his beard and thought that Zhu Gaoyu's method was ingenious.

"What we do is to directly intervene in government affairs in Korea. Although it is also out of good intentions and we have our own considerations, we are afraid that Gao Liguo will not cooperate."

Zhu Gaoyu recalled the attitude of the Koryo King last time, and felt that it was unlikely that he would reject this matter.

"Whether you cooperate or not, you can see if you try it, and no matter what the attitude of the Koryo country is now, it is better to take some things in your own hands."

Zhu Di also agreed with Zhu Gaoyu's statement, and immediately planned to send the next document to Gaoli, and it was soon delivered to the king of Gaoli.

"Da Ming wants to set up an administrative department in our country, what do you think about this matter?"

Apart from being a little surprised, the King of Koryo didn't react much, but the other ministers reacted differently.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think it is absolutely necessary. I heard that the Ming Dynasty set up administrative divisions in remote areas to facilitate the strengthening of management. Although our Goryeo is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it is not their vassal, let alone one of them. City, how can you do this."

As soon as this remark came out, many courtiers also agreed.

"... Mr. Han is right. If the Administrative Division is set up, wouldn't our every move be under the control of Daming's monitoring. This is no different from a puppet. It would be humiliating to the country to spread it out."

Not only those ministers, but also some clan nobles also objected, "If the administrative department is established, there is no place for us to speak, I am afraid that the Li Dynasty will decline."

Listening to their words, I glanced at them, and the words became more and more alarmist, and the King of Koryo couldn't help sighing.

"I think everyone may have forgotten one thing. If it wasn't for Daming's help, I'm afraid that our Goryeo has been annexed by Dongying, where would there still be the Li Dynasty."

The clan who just spoke was a little embarrassed, and said with a shy look: "You can't say that in the words of the king..."

"Dongying's methods are not as gentle as the Ming Dynasty. Even if you don't kill them all, I'm afraid they will be imprisoned for life. Now that everyone can stand here well, instead of being a bereaved dog, you should think about who deserves the credit."

Hearing the words of the King of Goryeo, everyone looked at each other in dismay, and for a moment, they felt that he was sent by the Ming Dynasty.

However, what the lord said was understandable, and the court fell into silence for a while, and no one spoke.

"I know that you are also doing it for my own good, but now Daming has helped us a lot, and the people live peacefully and happily, isn't that enough?"

The Goryeo king does not have such big ambitions, he only hopes to develop smoothly. In the long run, Daming is a very reliable target and naturally leans towards him.

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to say more."

Although many ministers objected, the King of Koryo agreed. Just as Zhu Gaoyu thought, he was loyal to Daming, and the sun and the moon could learn from it.Compare.

Chapter 304

The weather gradually turned colder, and it was already the end of autumn in a blink of an eye. The maple leaves on the outskirts of the capital were dyed red, and the red was dazzling and dazzling, like a flaming flame.

The rich fruits on the branches are the best gift to the people of Kyoto at this season, and the ears of wheat in the rice fields are bent over.As you can imagine, this year is another bumper year.

"My lord, the capital is very lively this year, and the number of people is several times higher than usual."

The sound of hooves came from not far away, and the little boy who was driving carefully avoided obstacles. Looking at the crowd around him, he couldn't help but speak.

Zhu Gaoyu lifted the curtain of the car, as the servant said, today is the market again, and looking at the crowd of people, from the street to the end of the street, even the carriage was almost blocked.

"The number of people this year is quite large."

Occasionally, the sound of hawking along the street came to my ears, and the accent didn't seem to be from the capital, but from someone from other places. Zhu Gaoyu also saw many exotic faces.

"Speaking of which, it is still thanks to the track built by the prince. Otherwise, where would the capital be so prosperous as it is now? Those from outside the customs migrated to the inside of the customs, and those from the inside moved toward the capital."

The little servant was very emotional. It turned out that since the construction of the track, it has continued to expand. With the capital as the center, it has become a hub connecting various places, and the place has become more prosperous and lively.

In other areas, as long as they are not particularly remote and backward, the tracks have also been constructed, which has brought great convenience to the lives of the people, and life can be said to change rapidly.

To say that the most influential area is the border area. People outside the customs have seen the convenience of the track. Countless people voluntarily migrated to the customs. There are even many nomads who were gradually assimilated by the Ming Dynasty.

And the original population of those cities, because of the influx of these people, will take into account other or more prosperous places to live, such as the capital, so this situation has formed.

"His Royal Highness King Liang! This is His Royal Highness King Liang's carriage."

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, maybe they saw it when Zhu Gaoyu lifted the curtain, or maybe they recognized the carriage of Prince Liang's mansion.

All in all, the carriage was instantly surrounded by the enthusiastic people who rushed up to the water, and it could no longer move forward half a point.

The little servant suddenly couldn't help laughing and crying: "My lord, we are blocked."

This time, Zhu Gaoyu was out on patrol in plain clothes, and he didn't bring any bodyguards with him. However, there were shadow guards in the dark to protect him, but the current situation was not enough for the shadow guards to take action.

"It's okay." Zhu Gaoyu's voice was flat, he lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness Prince Liang, I thought I was wrong."

To say that the most prestigious and most popular person in the capital is Zhu Gaoyu, not even the prince and Zhu Zhanji.

After all, he single-handedly presided over the construction of the track, which turned the lives of the people upside down and brought great convenience and benefits. How many people have benefited from him, and it is no wonder that the people are so excited when they see Zhu Gaoyu, like seeing Zhu Gaoyu. To the food and clothing parents.

"It's the first time I've seen His Royal Highness Prince Liang. He looks so young, almost like my children."

"Don't look at King Liang's young age, what he has done is not well-known, let us big guys extend a hand for kindness, and let's talk about this track without saying anything else, if it weren't for King Liang, I'm afraid the goods in my house would be rotten. in hand."

"No, I almost thought that I would have nothing to lose. Who would have thought that it would be a loss for the track built by His Royal Highness to bring the things I desperately need."

Everyone was chatting, and the words were full of gratitude to Zhu Gaoyu. They were all beneficiaries of the orbit.

"Liang Wang Daen, I really have no time to forget it."

In the face of the enthusiastic and excited people, even Zhu Gaoyu couldn't resist, "You are polite when you say this. You are all my people of Daming, and these are my duties."

Zhu Gaoyu smiled very kindly, and all of a sudden he shortened the distance with everyone. In addition to his young age, he gave the people the feeling of being approachable, and even more intimate.

"King Liang is so kind, he doesn't look like a son of the heavenly family at all."

Humans are visual creatures, and Zhu Gaoyu's speech and body gave them a harmless feeling, and the common people no longer felt restrained before.

"Our family doesn't even know how to thank His Highness. These are the fruits and vegetables grown by ourselves, but they are sweet and refreshing. Please don't dislike it."

The woman in the blue headscarf stuffed a basket of melons and fruits into the boy's hands, as if afraid that he would refuse, so she left in a hurry.

The surrounding people looked at each other in dismay, their eyes lit up, as if the door to a new world had opened.

Yup!Why didn't they think of this, verbal thanks is not sincere, so it's better to take some practical actions.

One has two, and then, many people acted one after another.

"Your Highness, this is our free-range chicken, and the meat is delicious."

"Your Highness, this is the big grass carp that was just caught, and it's still fresh!"

But in the blink of an eye, the little servant was covered with all kinds of chickens, ducks, and fish. His face was full of unlovable expressions. He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't stop the enthusiastic people around him.

What's more, he with small arms and calves is not the opponent of those aunts and aunts. He can only be pressed in place and act as a shelf full of food.

Some people even took out the garlic and hung it in a string around his neck. The little servant almost died on the spot without being smoked by the smell.

In the end, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't see it anymore and finally said, "I have already accepted everyone's kindness, so I don't need these things."

The little servant almost burst into tears when he heard this, but he still underestimated these people.

"Then how can it be done, His Highness is now growing up and needs these things to replenish his body."

"That's right, we can't come up with anything valuable. I hope His Highness will not dislike our mere heart."

"Don't be polite to us, Your Highness, they are all worthless things."

There was nothing in the palace, and Zhu Gaoyu didn't pay attention to this. He just looked at the caring and grateful gazes of the people around him. It was like the sun in winter, and the people were warm. It was really hard to live up to their hearts.

They couldn't say anything if they refused, and the people were even more presumptuous. Seeing that the little servant could not let go, they set their sights on the carriage.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhu Gaoyu quickly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and walked away, for fear that he would be a few steps late and he would be next. .

Chapter 305

In the study, Zhu Di saw that Zhu Gaoyu was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to organize his clothes, so he was very surprised: "Where did you come from."

I used to see Zhu Gaoyu being meticulous. Even at a young age, he gave people the feeling of being mature and stable, and he could rely on him. At this moment, he was a little messy, but it added a little childishness, which made Zhu Di feel extra fresh and looked at it from time to time.

Zhu Gaoyu followed his line of sight, only to find that his belt was a little crooked, it should have been messed up accidentally in the crowd just now.

"Report to the emperor, my son just came over from Dongjie." Zhu Gaoyu was a little helpless, and recounted what he saw and heard just now, "No, the people are too enthusiastic, and my son can't resist."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then Fushou laughed and said: "There is such a thing, it seems that the fourth is loved by the people and very popular."

Zhu Gaoyu didn't dare to take credit, not to mention the fact that he was loved by the people. Zhu Di said yes, but if he really took it seriously, if he was used by people with intentions to make a big fuss, the situation would be unfavorable.

He said very modestly, "If those people could see the emperor with their own eyes, I'm afraid it would be a hundred times more exaggerated than the situation of the servants."
