Where is the right fit? Zhu Gaoxian said in his heart, naturally Tokyo is suitable, but where is Tokyo now? What's there?

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "Dad, if you want to say who is most familiar with this Japanese province, it is naturally the third brother, why don't you let the third brother give your father a suggestion?" ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

With the current expansion speed of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaosui had long expected that no matter how wise and martial his father was, he would have to divide these islands among them as sons in the future, and let the sons guard them.

That's fine!

The province is in Daming, everyone is staring at each other, but who guards Daming, is it like the Northern Yuan, the eldest sons go out to expand the territory, the younger son stays at home to guard it, or the eldest son is the prince, and the rest of the sons, who has the ability, will go out to expand the territory.

Just in case, Zhu Gaosui has visited the entire Japanese island in the past six months, and he is very satisfied with this place, and feels that it is not impossible to divide this Japanese island to him and become the king independently.

"Dad, there are four large islands in this Japanese country, Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, of which Hokkaido is a famous fishing ground, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lives in Kyoto, Kinkakuden, which is a very beautiful garden palace, and the son thinks that it can be used as his father's palace in Japan Province."

"Where is Kyoto?" Zhu Di asked.

"We're on Kyushu Island right now, southwest of the center of Honshu Island. Compared to Da Ming, this is not far away. Zhu Gaosui thought that the Wa Kingdom was really small, too small, and it was said to be a province, but in fact it was not as big as a province in the Ming Dynasty.

From Kagoshima to Kyoto, you have to pass through half of the province of Japan, so the road is certainly not easy to walk now.

Zhu Di said, "Okay, you can arrange it first, and next winter, I will go to the Golden Pavilion Hall to soak in the hot springs." ”

Zhu Gaoxian was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to prepare now, "Yes, Dad, my son must prepare well!" ”

Li Fangyuan has been waiting for an opportunity, he wants to go to Daming again, but he can't find a suitable reason.

Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty took the harem princes and courtiers to the Japanese Province to soak in the hot springs, he chewed the words "Japan Province" carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more chills in his heart became.

He has dealt with Japan so many times, in the past, it was a country with small sparrows and all kinds of organs, from the emperor to the general, Japan was still martial and extremely strong, who would have thought that in the end, it would end up with a country destroyed.

In the process of accompanying Li Fangyuan to Daming, Min got Xu's liking, and when he came back, Min got Xu's invitation again, so that she could go to Daming when she was free, and was rewarded by Xu, which was the first among foreign princesses.

Therefore, the relationship between Li Fangyuan and the Min family has been greatly improved, and after Li Fangyuan returned to China, although the number of times he let the Min family sleep was very limited, it also gave the Min family a lot of dignity.

Min Wuxian, a relative, was also valued by Li Fangyuan again, and he also had the opportunity to figure out Li Fangyuan's thoughts and give him advice.

"Your Royal Highness, His Majesty the Great Emperor is bathing in hot springs on Kyushu Island, which is very close to our country, and according to the rules, my vassal country should go to the audience to show respect."

Min Wuxian knew that His Royal Highness had been very uneasy since Da Ming came back. He also knew very well where this uneasiness came from, it was nothing more than being afraid of Da Ming's strength.

Once the Ming Dynasty launched an attack on Korea, they were like fish on a chopping block, and they had no power to fight back.

In the past, they could still struggle for a while, the Ming Dynasty fought against them, the battle line needed to be very long, with Tatar and Warat on the side to check and balance, as long as they had a good attitude and were small, they could still live very easily, but now, Tatar and Warat have to bow down to Chen Chen, not to mention a small country like them.

Min Wuxian's words won Li Fangyuan's heart, he still maintained his self-esteem as the king of a country at first, but now, he decided to throw his self-esteem aside and ensure that he could survive first.

Soon, Li Fangyuan selected a large number of treasured jewels from the warehouse, collected a large number of rare treasures from the people, and then took the Min family and a group of important ministers across the sea to Kyushu Island to see Zhu Di.

When Li Fangyuan arrived, he happened to meet the king of the Three Mountains Kingdom on the dock, Wu Ning, the king of Zhongshan, Wang Yingzu, the king of Shannan, and Pan Anzhi, the king of Shanbei.

Wu Ning, who was originally the prince of the world, was canonized by Zhu Di, and he was very proud at first, but the lords of several southwestern countries were voluntarily named the princes of the Ming Dynasty and were willing to give up their territory to gain room for survival, which made Wu Ning very frightened.

He heard that the Ming Emperor came to the island of Japan to soak in hot springs, felt that his opportunity had come, and wanted to come to serve in person, and took this opportunity to also include himself under the wings of the Ming Dynasty.

Who is not afraid of death?

Each other was indeed very embarrassed, Li Fangyuan greeted the three lords of the country in a curtled manner, and then patiently waited for the report of the defenders of Daming Wharf, and after waiting for about half a day, the officials of Honglu Temple personally came to welcome them to Zhu Di's living room.

Zhu Di sat behind a table, he couldn't sit like a Japanese people, so he sat cross-legged on the mat like a monk, and after Li Fangyuan and the other four people had saluted, let them sit on both sides of him, "Follow the customs, since I have come to the country of the rising sun, I will entertain you in this way here." ”

The three words "back then" obviously stimulated Li Fangyuan and them, and the four of them got up and saluted Zhu Di again, saying that they were thanking His Majesty the Emperor for his hospitality, but in fact they were expressing their submission.

"You don't have to be polite, I didn't expect that I just came out for a walk, and you were so polite that you came to see me." Zhu Di is very satisfied with this attitude of these people, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty makes these people sincerely afraid, which is exactly the attitude he wants.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, this place is very close to the minister's country, if His Majesty the Great Emperor is willing to give the minister glory, the minister wants to invite His Majesty the Great Emperor to come to our country, so that the people can pay homage to His Majesty's holy face, so that they can also bathe in the holy grace!" Li Fangyuan took this opportunity to put forward his own request.

Wu Ning and the others were shocked, they never dreamed that Li Fangyuan would be able to say such a thing, although it was very shameless, but it couldn't help but be admirable.

One after another, Wu Ning and others were not to be outdone and invited Zhu Di to the land of three mountains.

Zhu Di felt very aggrieved in the place built by his son, how could he go to the poor and backward country of Sanshan, and the country of Korea, which had a different road?

He smiled, "I am very touched by your hospitality, but this time, I am here specifically for the Japanese Province, I want to see the people of the Japanese Province, and the itinerary is also very full, so I will not bother you." ”

One bite of a Japanese province, it is creepy to hear.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister wanted to do his best to be half of the landlord's friendship, but he couldn't think of a good way, so he had to choose some gifts that were not too valuable, and I wanted to ask the emperor to laugh!" Li Fangyuan said, and sent the gift list he had carefully prepared.

Zhu Di nodded at Huang Yan, and Huang Yan hurriedly went over to take the gift list and handed it over.

Zhu Di took a look and saw that all of them were rare treasures, and there were a lot of them, he was very satisfied, "Then I'm welcome!" ”

Li Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't give up his country, and if he wanted to retain the last bit of dignity, he would have to pay the price of blood, "North Korea is willing to serve the Ming Kingdom for generations, and the ministers will be the eternal loyal servants of His Majesty the Great Emperor." ”

Zhu Di understood what he meant, he was not interested in the small land of North Korea, and he also heard his son say that North Korea has always been orthodox to the Ming Dynasty, and in the history of later generations, the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south and occupied the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea even fought against it, and its loyalty can be seen.

Zhu Di's attention was not on North Korea for the time being, because he really didn't look down on the meat that was not enough to stuff his teeth, and said, "This is very good, I heard that Ling Lang has always wanted to marry a woman from the Ming Dynasty, why is this?" ”

Li Fangyuan couldn't guess Zhu Di's thoughts, he didn't know whether he was for or against this, he hesitated for a long time, didn't know how to answer, and finally had to tell the truth, "This is the minister's idea, the minister admires the Ming Kingdom, and hopes that the future lord of the country can have the blood of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Di said, "The daughter of the Zhu family, it is impossible for the royal family to marry far away from other countries, from ancient times to the present, only the king of the dead country, the incompetent lord can not keep his bloodline, and it is a bad omen for the princess to marry other countries." ”

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, the minister is guilty!" Li Fangyuan was so frightened that he trembled, "The minister has no such intention, the minister just wants to be good with the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, it is the minister's delusion that he does not know the sky and the earth, and he also asks His Majesty the Emperor to give him the sin!" ”

Zhu Di waved his hand, "It's good that you know, you can't have such extravagant hopes in the future." ”

"Yes, I obey!" Li Fangyuan hated his son to death in his heart, but he was irrepressibly lost, and he had to admit that he was actually full of hope for marrying a daughter-in-law with the blood of the Ming royal family.

The days are getting more and more difficult, Li Fangyuan is very sad, he doesn't know where the future of the North Korean country is?

The king of Sanshan was even more uncomfortable, the three of them glanced at each other, and bowed to Zhu Di together, "The ministers are willing to send some people to Daming to help Daming build roads, and the ministers are willing to give the land with both hands, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to smile." ”

Zhu Di is very disgusted with the country of three mountains, Daming does not lack such a small island, after looking at the world map, he knew how big the world is, smiled, "If I can send some people to my Daming, I am naturally grateful, but the land, forget it, this is the family inheritance handed down by your ancestors, and it cannot be broken in your hands, this is the biggest unfilial piety." Since ancient times, since the three of them are not guilty, how can I do something without virtue? ”

Although they guessed Zhu Di's thoughts, His Majesty the Great Emperor disliked that their land was too small, too poor, and there was nothing to do, so they made such a high gesture, but the three of them and Li Fangyuan were still relieved, and they had to be grateful to His Majesty the Great Emperor.

Zhu Gaoxian stepped in, glanced at the four lords, and said to his father unhurriedly, "Dad, news came from Beijing that the army led by Zhang Fu had reached Tangluling. “
