Chapter Eighty-Four: The Royal Road, the Domineering, the Creation of Something Out of Nothing

Yang Shaofeng, who was given a physiology knowledge class, was obviously not very happy, and lowered his head before he spoke: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Laosi snorted and said: "The envoy sent by Sishao, the king of Zhongshan in the Ryukyus, Zhijialu, was better when he was in the capital, but when he returned to China some time ago, when he traveled to Fujian, he seized the sea boat, killed the officers and soldiers, beat the lieutenant and took his clothes. What do you say? ”

Hearing Zhu Laosi say this, Yang Shaofeng suddenly came to his senses, commanded the dog to move the reclining chair for himself, and then squatted directly next to Zhu Laosi, touching the head of the second dog, and said with a smile: "What about the princes of the court?" They should have a say about it. ”

Zhu Laosi snorted and said: "Order the Ryukyu King Sishao to kill Zhijialu, or give an order to serve people with virtue." ”

Yang Shaofeng was even happier now, and casually took the brick engraved with German characters from the dog's hand, shook it and said with a smile: "Grandfather, look, grandson is the best at convincing people with virtue, as long as I give me 50,000 troops plus ten treasure ships, my grandson promises to convince everyone up and down the Ryukyus!" ”

Zhu Laosi glared at Yang Shaofeng, and scolded with a smile: "Convincing? I'm afraid that there won't be a living mouth in the Ryukyus, and they can't say anything wronged! ”

Yang Shaofeng suddenly shouted "How come!" The grandson really intends to convince people with virtue. There are poems and clouds, and if you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more? Not only did Sun Er not think about killing all those barbarians, but he also planned to treat them well, so that they could also bathe in the glory of my Ming education. ”

Automatically ignoring Yang Shaofeng's nonsense, Zhu Laosi said directly: "What about this? Don't always think about fighting and killing, and the Ryukyus are lonely overseas, easy to defend and difficult to attack, what if something goes wrong? ”

When the dog moved the deck chair, Yang Shaofeng stood up from the ground, then sat down on the deck chair, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on what my grandfather thinks." ”

Zhu Laosi hummed and said, "You go on." ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "If your grandfather wants to expand your territory, then give your grandson tens of thousands of troops plus ten treasure ships, and your grandson will definitely take Ryukyu to offer your grandfather's birthday in the coming year, otherwise, please behead your grandson."

If the grandfather didn't want to kill more, and felt that it was too cheap to make an order to apply for the Ryukyu people, he could order someone to directly arrest Naogaru and the others, and then Ming Zheng was a typical example. ”

Seeing that Zhu Laosi still didn't say anything, and his face was also noncommittal, Yang Shaofeng continued: "If these two roads don't work, then you can directly give an order to Si Shao, and ask him to send Zhijialu and others to Daming, and then kill them." ”

Zhu Laosi shook his head, and suddenly said, "I came to ask you, what is the royal way?" What is Deneb? What is domineering? ”

Seeing that Zhu Laosi suddenly changed the topic, Yang Shaofeng had no choice but to say helplessly: "According to those corrupt Confucian theories, the so-called royal way is to rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, and to calm the people's hearts with virtue and government." The so-called hegemony is to rule the world by force of punishment. The so-called emperor is to pay equal attention to morality and punishment. ”

Zhu Laosi hummed noncommittally and said, "What about what you think?" ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed and said curtly: "Sun Er thinks that the so-called royal way is to tell you before beating you, why should I beat you." The so-called domineering is because it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, so it is beaten. Grandfathers treat their grandchildren in the same way. ”

Zhu Laosi snorted and said: "Bastard thing, the dog's stomach can't store two taels of sesame oil!" Then tell me, what should be the matter of Zhijialu? ”

Yang Shaofeng arched his hand towards Zhu Laosi and said: "As the so-called Holy Son of Heaven is on the throne, he should be the inner saint and the outer king - so the matter of Zhijialu must be well educated in Ryukyu, and the thieves such as Zhijialu will be killed canonically, and then the edict will be issued to the world to explain why they should be killed." ”

Zhu Laosi still hummed a little disappreciatively, and then waved his hand, signaling Yang Shaofeng, who had just sat down, to get out.

Seeing Zhu Laosi crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, Yang Shaofeng had no choice but to pout helplessly, and simply instructed the dog to lift the recliner that had just been put down for a few minutes and go back to his small courtyard again.

As soon as he arrived at the small courtyard, Zhu Zhanji, who came to return the manuscript of "The Outer History of Confucianism", smiled and said, "I heard that Xu Qin is planning to trouble you?" ”

Yang Shaofeng looked at the entrance of the village and sneered: "No, now His Majesty is planning to trouble him Xu Qin, and it has nothing to do with me."

Besides, even if he Xu Qin is no longer a thing, but we still have to call Uncle Cousin, no matter how bad it is, we have to call Wei Guogong, you are a Xu Qin, it is really rude! ”

Zhu Zhanji snorted, not caring at all about Yang Shaofeng's statement that he wanted to be a sister and set up an archway, but diverted the topic: "Except for Xu Qin's matter, what else did you say?" ”

Yang Shaofeng didn't plan to hide it, anyway, Zhu Zhanji would definitely know about Zhijialu: "It's about the Ryukyu envoy Zhijialu, and the grandson is estimated to be cold." ”

Zhu Zhanji said suspiciously: "You plan to encourage your grandfather to send troops to Ryukyu?" That place......"

Yang Shaofeng snorted and said, "What do you mean agitation?" Besides, I am a dignified gentleman and has always liked to convince people with virtue, so how can I shout and kill at every turn? Also, what is that place? ”

With a sneer, Zhu Zhanji pointed to the brick that Yang Shaofeng was still holding in his hand at the moment, and asked, "Is this what you call virtue?"

Also, the Ryukyus are lonely overseas, the land is vast and sparsely populated, mosquitoes are everywhere, tigers and leopards are rampant, isn't it a broken place?

Even if you get that place back, what use is there other than fishing and anchoring the fleet? How much food can be grown?

Then again, although the broken place is not in the hands of my Ming Dynasty, but my Ming fleet is anchored, do you dare to refuse the Ryukyus?

And, most importantly, I'm afraid you didn't think of it, right? ”

Yang Shaofeng scratched his head and wondered, "Is there anything else I didn't expect?" With your brain, can you suddenly become smarter? ”

Zhu Zhanji sneered and said: "It's true that Ryukyu is lonely overseas, and it's not false that there is nothing valuable, but the only benefit, and the most important benefit, is that Ryukyu belongs to my natural barrier of the Ming Dynasty."

The role of the Korean and Nanyang feudal domains lies in this, in fact, it is the same as the Southern Xiongnu at the time of the strong Han Dynasty, which belonged to a screen domain between the Han Dynasty and the grassland.

In other words, if there is really any unexpected strong enemy from the sea in the future, the first thing that needs to be faced is the Ryukyu and Nanyang vassal states, and my Ming Dynasty is in a state where it can be attacked and retreated, understand? ”

Seeing Yang Shaofeng looking at himself in disbelief, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a smile: "I am in the center of the Ming Dynasty and control all countries, and now the Tartars in the north have not been eliminated, if the south increases the investment of troops, how can the treasury support it?"

Therefore, it is better to concentrate on solving the problem of Mobei now, and after destroying the Tatars and Warats, and then concentrate on passing through the Nanyang and Ryukyu domains. ”

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji became more and more energetic the more he spoke, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but snort and said, "The world is so big!" Above the South Seas, outside the Western Regions, there are so many people in total, Zheng He and the lieutenant Li Da who sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and Chen Cheng, a member of the Ministry of Officials, didn't they summarize the situation of those countries overseas and in the Western Regions, what are you worried about? ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "As the so-called people have no long-term thoughts, they must have near-term worries, and those who do not seek the world are not enough to plan for a while." Who knows what it will look like in a few hundred years? At present, the existence of these feudal states, since it has its advantages, let it be kept for the time being. ”

Several times when the words came to his mouth, Yang Shaofeng forcibly swallowed it back again - what will happen in hundreds of years? You ask me, I know it all, hundreds of years!

In line with the principle of thinking about his own head, Yang Shaofeng still didn't speak, but diverted the topic and said: "By the way, what happened to the case of impersonating official food?" ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shaofeng, and sighed loudly: "It's fun this time!" ”

Seeing Yang Shaofeng's bewildered look, Zhu Zhanji continued: "Kong Fanzheng is indeed an outcast, but this outcast is not on the line of Yongqing, but ......"

Pointing to the southeast, Zhu Zhanji said a little mysteriously: "That family, Kong Fanzheng's family is finished, so he was also abandoned, but because of the face of that family, he set up a name for official food." ”

As soon as he heard that it was that family, Yang Shaofeng suddenly came to his senses again, and urged repeatedly: "Go on, go on, what is the current situation of that family?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said in a low voice: "I don't know the specifics, I only know that my grandfather is very angry, and I guess I can have fun watching it."

It's just that I don't understand, you said that his family has this status, why are you still tossing these things that you don't have? ”

Yang Shaofeng sneered: "The family is big, and there are so many people to feed, no one is making money outside, what do you give people food and drink?" ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but pat his head and said: "No, it's really your family that gave his family food and drink, and even the honor guard noodles were given by your family."

But it's still the same sentence, the family is big, the business is big, and the expenses are also big. Do you think my Yang family Zhuangzi has a lot of food? Actually, it's wrong, the real place where food gathers is people's homes. ”

Zhu Zhanji pursed his lips and said: "You just continue to talk nonsense, although that family is extremely famous, but when it comes to eating and drinking, it is still much worse than you." ”

Yang Shaofeng heaved and said: "First of all, you have to know who the family marriesβ€”but someone marries a girl from the civilian world?" Which one is not a young lady who marries the eunuchs from all over the world? Those eunuchs are either for the sake of noodles or to take care of their daughters, and they often marry a few cooks.

Over the past few hundred years, people's dishes include those you have never heard of, let alone my family, even if it is your family, it is estimated that it can't be compared! ”

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji still looked in disbelief, Yang Shaofeng sneered: "I have heard that the highest standard banquet requires four hundred and four pieces of tableware, each of which is divided into two layers, and the whole banquet has one hundred and ninety-six dishes, do you have this kind of banquet?" ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji shaking his head, Yang Shaofeng couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

That's right, it's just pouring dirty water, and the so-called Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets naturally don't have it, but if you are a history writer with a starting point, won't you have this skill out of nothing?
