Chapter 519: The Anger of the Prince of Joseon

Zhu Ciyi deliberately said a lot to Qian Qianyi, so he asked Qian Qianyi to go back and reflect on himself.

Watching Qian Qianyi walk out of the imperial study very lonely, Zhu Ci hesitated without waves, and began to review today's recital, the affairs of the Korean prince, Zhu Cicheng did not deliberately care, if the Korean prince is interested, he should immediately resign and go back to their North Korea, but Zhu Ci hesitated to feel that the Korean prince may not be willing, as for what the Korean prince calculated, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway, the tribute brought by the DPRK this time, it is absolutely impossible to exchange enough benefits, Zhu Ciji was not worried about what kind of storm the Joseon prince could make in Nanjing, he wanted to see how long the Joseon prince could endure.

Qian Qianyi, who walked out of the imperial study, was lonely and at a loss.

It is not difficult to see from the emperor's tone today that the emperor seems to be a king who is supreme by force. Yes, since the emperor has single-handedly established the Yinglong Army and cultivated the generals of the Yinglong Army over the years, what the emperor has done is incomparably full of iron-blooded taste.

From the collapse of the Donglin Party, the storm of corruption, the salt government, the rebellion of the scholars, etc., how many heads fell to the ground, how could the emperor be touched with the word benevolence and righteousness, although he did not deny that the emperor was indeed wise and martial, and brought the Ming Dynasty up from the ups and downs, re-unified the world, and prospered the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor's belief was too far from the benevolence and righteousness in his heart.

It is not difficult for him to imagine that in the future, the Ming Dynasty will not begin to stop the army because of the re-domination of the world, but may be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, constantly using troops around him, and it is unknown where the Ming will eventually be led.

Qian Qianyi wants to stop it, wants to make Daming really stable, but over the years, he also has some understanding of the temperament of the current emperor, once the current emperor has a decision, it is impossible to listen to his persuasion, and he will insist on going his own way, and no one can stop it, this is what makes Qian Qianyi feel powerless.

Because of the confusion in his heart, Qian Qianyi closed the door after returning home, and even failed to see him when the prince of Joseon sent someone to inquire about the news, in fact, Qian Qianyi still had the heart to pay attention to the affairs of the prince of Joseon at the moment.

The people sent by the Joseon prince returned to the post house with great disappointment to report to the Joseon prince.

Joseon Shizi frowned, he couldn't understand what was going on, didn't Qian Qianyi Shoufu be able to convince Emperor Ming? But even then, he should have told himself, what did it mean to not even see the person he sent?

The Joseon prince has not yet figured it out, and the North Koreans, who went to find out another kind of information, have also returned.

"Lord Shizi, I've inquired!" The North Korean ran in and said with a slight breath.

"Speak quickly!" Joseon Shizi said.

"Hui Shizi, Daming earned 81,237,000 taels of silver last year, which is dozens of times that of our North Korea!" The North Korean said in a tone of utter horror.

This was asked by a civil and military officer for fifty taels of silver, which startled him a lot at the time.

"Hiss" Joseon Shizi was also taken a big jump.

"What do you say? Daming earned more than 80 million taels of silver last year? "The prince of the Joseon Dynasty opened his eyes wide, he couldn't believe it at all, how could he believe that the Ming Dynasty only regained its domination of the world at the end of last year, that is to say, the Ming Dynasty's annual income last year could only rely on all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and that's what made the Ming Dynasty earn more than 80 million taels of silver last year.

I can't figure out how Daming did it, but the prince of Joseon doesn't doubt its authenticity.

This made the Korean prince even more angry, the Ming Dynasty's income last year was more than 30 times that of the DPRK, they North Korea did their best to get such a valuable tribute to come, how should the Ming Dynasty not be like a beggar only rewarded them with a set of four treasures worth only a few hundred taels of silver to go back, just bring back such a thing, the Korean people are absolutely unacceptable, and it will also affect the status of his son.

Da Ming is not unable to pay a reward, but he sent him like that, no, it must not be just like that, whether it is for the sake of the Korean country or for his status as a prince, he must let the Ming reward him with enough property to bring back to North Korea.

The prince of Joseon has already made up his mind, even if he threatens Daming to break away from the relationship between the subject countries and puts pressure, he must let Daming give out the reward he deserves.

It seems that the princes of Joseon seem to take the reward of Daming more than their tribute for granted, and in fact, they don't have the slightest respect and fear for Daming in their hearts, and they have even thought about how to threaten Daming.

After waiting for another three days, there were still no Ming officials coming to the post house to bring the rewards of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed that the Ming Emperor really planned to send them away with only the four treasures of the study worth only a few hundred taels of silver.

The prince of Joseon could not sit still, and asked to see him on the fourth day of the morning dynasty.

Seeing the prince of Joseon come in, Zhu Ci's expression did not change, as if it was all in his expectation.

"The prince of Joseon sees His Majesty the Emperor of Shangbang!" The prince of Joseon bowed and bowed.

"The prince doesn't have to be polite, let's be even!"

After letting the Korean prince get up, Zhu Ci didn't speak first, and just hung the Korean prince.

After the prince of Joseon got up, he didn't start talking immediately, but looked at Qian Qianyi, he still remembered that Qian Qianyi had promised him that he would help them in North Korea, but after so many days, Qian Qianyi didn't convey any information to them, making them like a headless fly.

Qian Qianyi saw the dissatisfaction with himself in the eyes of the Korean prince, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, but he also knew that the emperor was not enough for him, not that he didn't help North Korea, but that he had more than enough strength and was not enough, and the emperor was contrary to his ideas.

In the end, Qian Qianyi sighed and looked up at the void.

Seeing Qian Qianyi's reaction, the prince of Joseon couldn't get up in one breath, and his face turned blue and white with anger, he felt like a clown, performing here for the Ming Emperor and the Ming civil and military officials.

The prince of the Joseon Dynasty held back his anger and bowed his hand to Zhu Ci and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this prince, I came to ask for a meeting this time, I want to implore His Majesty the Emperor, my Korean country has been squeezed by the Manchurians since the ninth year of Chongzhen, it has been more than ten years, North Korea is barren, hungry, this time in order to make enough tribute to His Majesty the Emperor, even many things of my royal family have to be sold, North Korea's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty can be seen by the sun and the moon, please the emperor for the sake of my North Korea has always been the last Ming, and reward me with some more goods and food in North Korea, On behalf of the people of Korea, this prince thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his generosity, and hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would fulfill it! ”

In order to get enough rewards, the Joseon prince put himself very low, he didn't mind how the Ming gave them the Joseon reward, as long as he brought back enough money to keep his position as the prince.

For the reward of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of Joseon is also out of the way, if this method does not work, he will definitely change his strategy immediately, in short, the Ming Dynasty must bring enough rewards to him back to North Korea.
