Lao Zhu looked at the indignant Feng Sheng in surprise, he didn't expect this old man to be able to say such a thing, he had underestimated him before.

But Lao Zhu was just a little surprised, and he would never change his mind because of Feng Sheng's bloody speech.

For him and his Daming, there is really no shortage of places in North Korea. Unless he occupies North Korea and can bring more benefits to Daming, he will not make a loss-making deal.

With Feng Sheng joining, the normal discussion gradually went out of shape and turned into a scolding battle between the civil and military sides.

In principle, the military general can't scold Wenchen. Therefore, scolding and scolding, a certain Song Guogong, who did not want to be named, took off one of his shoes and threw it over, and hit Tang Duo, the secretary of the military department, in the face.

Tang Duo was not to be outdone, and treated others in his own way. For a time, the ministers in the court beat each other, and the wat version was discounted several times, and the recital and the like flew all over the sky.

Lao Zhu saw that they were almost done, so he spoke out to stop their farce.

"You all go back first, let's discuss with the eldest grandson in the evening!"

"In addition, I won't meet with the Korean monarchs and ministers tomorrow, let them raise them in Honglu Temple for a few more days!"

When everyone heard this, they all made a promise, and then left with unwilling faces.

When the officials left the palace, there was also a fierce quarrel in the Wenhua Palace.

The small scholars of Wenhua Palace, who had been locked up by the elders of the family, ran into the palace to discuss with the visit of the Korean monarchs and ministers.

"Imperial grandson, you are so powerful, you have made the contribution of destroying the country so quickly!"

"Chang Jizu, you make it clear, what kind of family is this to destroy the country, this is clearly an undeclared war, and it will be laughed at by the world!"

"Chen Caimi, what do you know, this is the work of destroying the country!"

Kong Yanjin saw that the two were arguing, so he hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker.

"Don't quarrel with the two of you, now it's not about whether it's a matter of merit or not, but about how to deal with the enclave of North Korea!"

Chang Jizu rolled his eyes and said.

"What's there to discuss, let's grab all the land, we won't return it, right?"

Kong Yanjin shook his head when he heard this.

"It's not impossible to go back, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Qi Huan gave dozens of miles more to others because of the guardian etiquette."

"Now that Daming occupies such an enclave, it is unreasonable, and it is natural to return it!"

Chang Jizu didn't read as many books as Kong Yanjin, and his eyes were about to pop out when he heard Kong Yanjin's words.

"Why?"

"Why should we return the place where we finally fell!"

"Your Highness, you are fair, do you think this land should be returned?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.

"Of course not!"

"When did you see something Lone eat and spit it out in his mouth?"

A cadre of military attachés represented by Chang Jizu applauded in unison when they heard Zhu Yunxi's words.

"See, the imperial grandson is on our side!"

Kong Yanjin saw Zhu Yunxi say this, and hurriedly spoke out to admonish.

"Your Highness, the affairs of North Korea are extraordinary, and this is a country that His Majesty personally decided not to conquer. We have gone against His Majesty the Emperor's will to conquer for no reason, and now we are still thinking of occupying other people's land, which is not only not tolerated by Your Majesty, but even the people of the world will laugh at our greed! ”

Zhu Yunxi looked at Kong Yanjin with a smile.

"I'm asking you a question, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State was a barbarian land, so where did all the barbarians on the land of Chu go now?"

Kong Yanjin thought slightly.

"If China enters Yidi, it will be Yidi, and if Yidi enters China, it will be Huaxia."

"The barbarians have accepted my Chinese culture and have become a part of my China!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.

"Not necessarily, right?"

"Lone asks again, where did the Xiongnu in the early Han Dynasty go, where did the Turks in the Tang Dynasty go, and where did the Liao State in the Song Dynasty go?"

Zhu Yunxi's three consecutive questions directly blinded Kong Yanjin.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"

Zhu Yunxi ignored him, and just continued to ask.

"At the time of the Tang Dynasty, the Yangtze River valley was still a wild land, and there were many barbarians living there, where have those barbarians gone now?"

"This ......"

This time, not only Kong Yanjin was stunned, but other people in the Wenhua Hall were also blindsided, and they didn't know what the imperial grandson wanted to say.

After a slight pause, Zhu Yunxi slapped the table heavily.

"Lonely will tell you where they have gone!"

"They were all driven by our ancestors to the mountains, to the wilderness of the border!"

"The territory of China is not born so big, it is all snatched from others by conquest and killing along the way!"

"The dozens of vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period are just the land of the four provinces of Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi!"

"The countries that your ancestors traveled around with Confucius actually didn't leave Shandong Province!"

"This ......"

When Kong Yanjin heard this, his face suddenly turned red and white.

The proudest of their Confucian family is their ancestor Confucius, who is not only their saint, but also their ancestor and their totem.

However, the emperor's grandson actually commented on Confucius like this, which made it difficult for Kong Yanjin to accept it for a while.

"Your Highness, how can you ......?"

Zhu Yunxi arched his hand towards Kong Yanjin.

"I just offended, Lone is here to accompany you."

"But one thing is certain, that is, the land of Korea is an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Don't discuss anything now, just discuss how to make good use of this place!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, the military attachés in the Wenhua Hall danced excitedly, and the civilian officials were depressed.

However, they still loyally followed Zhu Yunxi's ideas and seriously considered the possibility of governing North Korea.

"Your Highness, if the Ming Dynasty wants to govern North Korea, it is quite difficult. Do we send Liuguan to govern, or do we follow the example of the Southwest Tusi to govern? ”

"If it is the former, the imperial court will not be able to know the situation in North Korea quickly and accurately, and it will not be able to quickly convey the decree to officials."

"But if it's the latter, then what's the difference between the southwestern local officials and the king of Joseon, it's just a change of name."

"Therefore, instead of working hard to govern, it is better to formulate a tributary system and continue to let Li Chenggui govern North Korea, just pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty every year."

Chen Mi, who is in charge of the Ministry of Finance, finished speaking, and Qin Jie, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up.

"Your Highness, North Korea is not rich in products, and it is not profitable to transport grain from North Korea to Daming. And the road is long, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"In addition, if you want to govern Korea, you have to send troops to station, which is also a lot of money every year, can the imperial court be willing to pay this money?"

"Therefore, Wechen suggested that we might as well open a port in North Korea, only use it for ship transit, and expand the scope of business......

Kong Yanjin saw that both of them had said it, and the emperor's grandson had just compensated himself, and he could be regarded as giving face to his ancestor Confucius, so he spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, if you govern North Korea, will the scholars in the land of Korea also participate in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty?"

"If they are allowed to participate in the imperial examination, will the imperial court take special care of the quota for the middle school examination, so that the scholars in the land of Korea can return to their hearts?"

"In addition, the admitted Korean scholars, will they stay in Daming as officials, or will they be sent back to North Korea as officials?"

"If Korea is governed, will the customs of the land of Korea be changed, and will a large number of scholars be sent to educate the people of the place?"

Zhu Yunxi only listened for a while, and then felt that his head was about to get bigger.

He even regrets it a little now, regretting that he sent the Jing Navy to patrol the waters of North Korea. For Qin Feng, Wang He and others, who defeated Korea and captured Korean monarchs and ministers, they were even more resentful.

These two have nothing to do, why are you causing this trouble for yourself?

But the big words have been said just now, even if it is a money-losing business, he has to do it hard!

Zhu Yunxi listened impatiently, but Lao Zhu outside the door listened with relish.

He found that the group of young people under Zhu Yunxi's command was good, and they thought very comprehensively, even more comprehensively than those above the court in some places.

At the very least, there was an afternoon of arguing in the court, and no one mentioned the issue of the imperial examination in Korea, just shouting about the cost of money.

Lao Zhu came here to discuss with his eldest grandson about dealing with North Korea, but seeing that they were discussing, he was not in a hurry to disturb.

In the main hall, Zhu Yunxi knocked on the table impatiently.

"Don't always be alone, hurry up and talk about the solution!"

"Otherwise, what's the use of keeping you alone?"

Everyone in the hall bowed their heads in shame when they heard this, and some of the military attachés headed by Chang Jizu lowered their heads the lowest.

There's no way, they can't do anything but fight and kill.

Kong Yanjin and the others hesitated slightly.

"Your Highness, it's not a prevarication from Weichen and others, it's really too difficult to govern at this stage."

"Not to mention North Korea, which is far away in the sky, even our southwest Ming Dynasty can't be governed, and we have to rely on the power of the local Tusi to govern it."

Zhu Yunxi also sighed helplessly when he heard Kong Yanjin's words.

This is a good thing, now Daming wants to communicate with Yunnan, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth.

If the steamship cannot be managed in a short time, North Korea is really just an enclave.

But now that the Jing Navy has captured the king of Korea, is it just like that?

Just when Zhu Yunxi was at a loss, a weak voice suddenly sounded in the corner of the hall.

"Your Highness, there is a plan for the humble position, I don't know if I should say it or not......"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he looked over and saw that he was a petty official in charge of financial statistics. He had a little impression of this person, and remembered that he seemed to be quite quick to settle accounts, which was a golden abacus under the Ministry of Finance.

"What's your name Zhang?"

"Zhang Zongjun, who is a lowly position, is now the director of the Ministry of Finance, and is responsible for account statistics."

"Yes, your name is Zhang Zongjun, and you used to have a leg with the Lu family!"

Zhu Yunxi learned from Erhu's report that Zhang Zongjun was relatively close to the crown princess Lu, but in view of the fact that the Lu family was dead, Zhang Zongjun was quite honest and had not done anything out of the ordinary, so he gradually put the matter aside and did not wear any small shoes for this guy.

Zhang Zongjun's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, he had always thought that the matter between himself and the Lu family was very secret, and no one knew about it. Na Cheng thought that the imperial grandson had known about him and the Lu family for a long time, but he had just kept it back.

"The emperor's grandson spares his life!"

"I really don't have any relationship with the Lu family, and I haven't done anything unfavorable to the emperor's grandson!"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand indifferently.

"It doesn't matter if you do it or not, as long as you are loyal in the future!"

"By the way, you just said that there is a way, hurry up and listen to it."

"If it makes sense, Lone will forgive you for your previous infidelity!"

When Zhang Zongjun heard this, he was like being amnestied, and hurriedly told his plan.

"Your Highness, I suggest appointing a clan to oversee Korea as its fiefdom."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and when the civil officials and generals in the Wenhua Hall heard this, they also seemed to have opened a new world, and at the same time showed a look of surprise.

Zhang Zongjun continued.

"Although Korea is narrow and has few people, it also has millions of people, which is far stronger than the fiefdom of the Ming vassal king."

"If the land of Korea is sealed in the clan, then the Ming Dynasty will not lose the land, but also receive the heart of the clan and Korea."

Zhu Yunxi was so excited that he got up and praised loudly.

"Wonderful!"

"That's a brilliant plan!"

"Your name is Zhang Zongjun, right?"

"Ming'er will enter the Zhongshu Province to be a scribe, and follow Master Gao and them to learn more!"

Zhang Zongjun happily thanked him on the spot when he heard this.

Zhongshu Province is the most powerful department of the imperial court now, and it has more power than the six departments of the imperial court. Even if you go in and become a scribe who copies and writes, the future development is limitless!

"Obedience!"

"The humble position must work hard to repay the kindness of the imperial grandson!"

Zhu Yunxi threw down everyone and ran out excitedly, intending to go to Lao Zhu to discuss the feasibility of this matter, but unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he bumped into Lao Zhu who was about to enter the hall.

"Grandpa?"

"Why are you running to me here to listen to the root of the wall again!"

Lao Zhu smiled awkwardly.

"We originally came to talk to you, but seeing that you were discussing, we didn't go in to disturb."

"Grandpa Huang, what do you think of the method that your grandson just came up with?"

"What's the solution?"

"It's Uncle Feng Wang who went to North Korea to be the king!"

Lao Zhu rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Didn't your subordinates come up with this, when did it become yours?"

Zhu Yunxi scratched his head in embarrassment, and moved the time of Lao Zhu listening to the root of the wall forward for a few minutes.

"It turns out that the imperial grandfather has heard it a long time ago!"

"But what my subordinates come up with can also be counted on my head!"

Lao Zhu pulled Zhu Yunxi and walked towards the outside of the hall, saying as he walked.

"This method is good, I'm afraid that your uncles are unwilling to go."

Zhu Yunxi said puzzled.

"Why?"

"They don't want to go, I'm not willing to give it, I'll let Zhu Yunxi go!"

"You don't shy away from your relatives!"

"Grandpa Huang, what you said is wrong, my uncle Wang is also pro!"

"Is there someone who doesn't have the surname Zhu?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately slapped Zhu Yunxi's head.

"Nonsense!"

"If anyone dared not to be surnamed Zhu, we would have sunk them in the pond a long time ago, how could they be raised so big!"

"Hurry up and order someone to call them back, have a meal together in the evening, and discuss who to let go by the way!"

"No!"
