Chapter 145: Goryeo

Zhu Biao nodded slightly and said, "Get up, you should pay attention to some influences in the future." ”

Hu Weiyong agreed, got up and bowed to Li Shanchang, and then calmly sat down at Li Shanchang's place, not at all as if he had just fought with Yang Xian.

When Hu Weiyong came, Zhu Biao naturally had something to say, so he asked casually: "The palace is busy doing other things these days, what is the big thing in the court?" ”

Li Shanchang picked up the teacup and didn't speak, that is, what Hu Weiyong meant to speak, Hu Weiyong naturally would not let go of the opportunity to get close to His Royal Highness the Prince, and said: "There is nothing else important in the court, only on the Liaodong side, Goryeo took the opportunity to occupy the land when I destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, and now there is a faint state of jumping out of the Yalu River, but it is just a trivial matter." ”

Zhu Biao didn't mean to be angry, the Ming Dynasty had not yet withdrawn his hand to recover Liaodong, which was still ruled by the Mongol remnants and the Jurchens, and after Zhu Biao destroyed the Northern Yuan, they had already actively contacted the Ming Dynasty in an attempt to sell themselves for a good price.

It is a matter of time before they surrender, and Goryeo will have to vomit out when he eats now, and in the face of the great unified dynasty, Goryeo has no power to resist.

What's more, Zhu's marked Goryeo was destroyed during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and the name of North Korea was finalized by Zhu Yuanzhang.

This matter is nothing, Daming has no spare energy to take care of the affairs over there now, it is really impossible to commit, the Central Plains can't eat, the population is withering, and it can waste resources to lay down a place that is not needed at all now.

However, it is okay to make appropriate arrangements, Goryeo is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is just right to support a force, and after stealing the day, Zhu Biao is slowly planning.

Zhu Biao talked with Hu Weiyong for half an hour, about the affairs of the household department and the imperial examination, etc., I have to say that Hu Weiyong's ability and vision are not picky, and he is a proper talent.

Zhu Biao saw that the hour was almost up, got up and walked out, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong respectfully sent him out of Zhongshu Province, and after Zhu Biao walked away, Li Shanchang led Hu Weiyong back to the house.

Li Shanchang sat back in his place and said to Hu Weiyong: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still admires you very much. ”

Hu Weiyong also relaxed a lot in front of his teacher: "It's a pity that I couldn't enter the prince's East Palace, and I won't be an old minister of the East Palace in the future." ”

Li Shanchang's face did not change, but he felt sorry for this student in his heart, and inexplicably experienced Liu Bowen's mood, the feeling of watching his disciple go to a dead end.

If Hu Weiyong was a young man, Li Shanchang would still be able to suppress him and polish his character, but now Hu Weiyong is in a good climate, not a young man who pours tea and water behind him, but a dignified court official.

Zhu Biao walked all the way out of Zhongshu Province and walked towards the imperial study, Hu Weiyong and the others did not get a detailed report, and if they wanted to understand the situation, they had to go to the imperial study to check the news sent by the pro-army captain.

Zhu Biao walked into the imperial study after being informed, and after saluting his father, he got up and stood up, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "How do you feel about leaving the palace this time?" ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "The capital is much more prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is all the credit of my father." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "It's useless to put a high hat on me, I won't go out of the palace in the future, what should I do if there is an accident outside." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and walked behind his father and loosened his shoulders: "The changes from the first time the son entered Yingtian to the present are really not small, and my father should also go out to take a look in person, and it is not good for your health to always sit in the imperial study." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the back of the chair and said: "We don't go out of the palace, and we know that the capital is getting better now, but the states and counties outside are not good, and the people are living in difficulty. ”

Zhu Biao persuaded: "These are not things that can be done overnight, my father has laid the most solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty, and everything will be fine." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew it, but he was born to work hard, so he couldn't be idle, so he picked up Song Lian's recital and asked: "You have also seen the talents of the imperial examination, how do you feel?" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "Erchen is a little disappointed, although they are all good talents, but there is still a big gap from what Erchen expects in his heart. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: How old are they, you have been with Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen for a long time, not to mention that the two of them were not necessarily very good when they were young, Biao'er, don't underestimate others. ”

Zhu Biao nodded, everything needs to be grown, and after these people have been up and down for decades, there are not a few examples of late bloomers.

In this way, Zhu Biao remembered Guo Chong's appearance, and felt that it was better to give Zhu Yuanzhang some psychological preparation first, so he told his father a few words of his conversation with Guo Chong and Wu Bozong, and his evaluation of the two of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little uncomfortable after listening to Guo Chong's physiognomy description, he didn't expect that the best scholar among them would have a flaw in his appearance, but after careful consideration, he still decided that if Guo Chong's grades were really good enough, he would admit it.

After all, he did not stipulate that there were requirements for appearance, which also proved that the imperial court was indeed a scholar based on talent.

Zhu Biao also talked about the main purpose of coming: "Erchen just went to Zhongshu Province and heard Hu Weiyong say that Goryeo sent troops to occupy a lot of land in Liaodong. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Goryeo is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is really stupid to waste national strength to occupy some useless land. ”

Zhu Biao then asked, "Goryeo has begun to pay tribute to my court?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "The envoys over there expressed this meaning, after all, they are also afraid of the fall of the Northern Yuan, and the king of Goryeo, Wang Yuan, has also personally written a letter to us, ready to start paying tribute next year." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, and then told his father that he wanted to see the information about Goryeo from the Governor's Mansion of the pro-army, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care and asked him to go and read it himself.

Zhu Biao walked to the bookshelf by himself, Goryeo is also a dynasty with a long history, and the pro-army Governor's Mansion also attaches great importance to it, and the intelligence pieces sorted out by Mao Xiang are neatly placed on it.

Zhu Biao began to read carefully, Zhu Yuanzhang said that Goryeo was not wrong at all, and the biggest blow to Goryeo came from the invasion of the Chinese Red Turban Army, when the Red Turban Army Longfeng regime organized the Three-Way Northern Expedition, and the Middle Route Army Pan Cheng and Guan Duo went north along the Taihang Mountain, entered Liaodong, and threatened Goryeo.

In February of the 19th year of Zheng, the Red Turban Army spread to Goryeo; In December of the same year, Mao Jujing, the general of the Red Turban Army, led an army of 40,000 troops across the frozen Yalu River to invade Goryeo, ravaging Uiju, Jingju, Inju and other places, and soon after captured Pyongyang, Xijing, during which Goryeo also faced constant incursions by the Japanese invaders.

The state politics was also chaotic, and the big families relied on their power to carry out frenzied mergers and plunder, and private farms were spread all over the territory of Goryeo. There is also a struggle for power within the supreme ruling circles, and there is not a single day of peace.

The current king is also a talent, he lost his beloved wife, the princess of Lu State, lost his life, and handed over political power to a lay monk Xin Min, which really intersected power.
