He Wenyuan, the secretary of the ministry, was quite capable, and even asked for instructions: "Holy Lord, dare to ask who should take over the secretary of the household department?" ”

Today, Zhu Qiyu's stubborn temper also came up, and he replied without thinking: "Zhang Feng, the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department, was transferred to the secretary of the household department. ”

Zhang Fenglian is good at law enforcement, and people give him the nickname 'Banzhang', which means rigid and stubborn, iron-faced and selfless.

Some of the Ming Dynasty are capable ministers, and without Zhang Butcher, can I only eat hairy pigs?

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the crowd expectantly, wishing that someone would stand up and resign, and that these old seniors would all leave.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the rest of the people did not say anything.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to wave his hand: "Let's go on." ”

Wang Yining, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "Holy Lord, Shang Boli, the nephew of the king of the Ryukyus, and others want to buy saros, squirts, and compradors nailing hemp and other things in Suzhou to repair sea ships.

The Ministry of Rites was afraid that it would disturb the people, so it would not obey its invitation. Shang Boli wrote many times to ask for a verdict on how to deal with it. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Ryukyu Su obeys the king's law, and unlike other Yi, he should be given special preferential treatment, so please follow it."

At this juncture, we should give preferential treatment to the few remaining foreign vassals, lest they be panicked and too frightened.

Like Japan, it's a negative example, they have the Emperor Daigo, and I want to kill them completely. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the emperor is really vicious today, and the words of killing all of them came out. In the past, even in the face of Warat, the emperor never said that he would completely kill such a thing.

Zhu Qiyu also patiently explained to the ministers: "In the past, our Emperor Taizu was too good-tempered, almost to the point of spitting on himself.

Japan killed my Ming envoy, and Taizu actually smiled and passed.

Taizu also sent two missions to the Timurid Empire, but they were both detained and killed, and Taizu actually smiled and passed.

I am different from Taizu, and these two things can't get over with me.

Even after a hundred years, I will kill all the murderers of that year, let them cut off their children and grandchildren, and avenge the unjust death of the envoys.

In my place, there is only one sentence: Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away.

Whoever can't accept my concept of governing the country can immediately resign and return to his hometown, and I will never leave it difficult. ”

When Xiao Rong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of Honglu Temple, heard this, he immediately knelt solemnly on the ground and shouted the Son of Heaven.

This is the butt decides the head, as the Honglu Temple Secretary in charge of diplomacy, Xiao Dian must act on behalf of the interests of all the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor wanted to punish even if he was far away, not only to avenge the Ming envoys who had been killed in the past, but also to increase the personal security of the ministers who would send foreign vassals in the future.

Only by letting the foreign vassal clearly know that if he kills the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, his entire clan will inevitably die, so that he can completely deter the younger generation.

Because the emperor stood on the moral high ground, the others had to kneel down and chant the Son of Heaven. On this issue, no one dared to stand up and say to everyone that a few envoys would die if they died, and there was no need to pay attention to them.

It is understandable that Taizu does not take Wenchen's life as his life. But as a civil servant, if he doesn't take the lives of other civil servants seriously, then he should be looked at sideways by his colleagues.

After unifying his thoughts, Shen Yi, the head of the household, stood up and asked: "The situation in North Korea and Japan is complicated, and most of us are confused, so please ask the Holy Lord to solve our doubts." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "About two hundred years ago, Japan's Emperor Gosaga. In the end, after a long struggle, the government and the opposition reached an agreement and decided to let the descendants of Emperor Gosaga's two sons take turns to become emperors.

What does it mean, it's like Xuanmiao passed the throne to the eldest brother, the eldest brother passed the throne to me, and I passed the throne to the eldest brother's son, and the eldest brother's son passed the throne to my son, and my son passed on to the eldest brother's son's son.

The throne is passed between these two veins, and I'm just making this analogy, don't take it seriously.

After the emperor of Japan took turns for decades, there was a situation where Emperor Go-Daigo refused to abdicate, so Emperor Kogan and Emperor Go-Daigo of the other line stood side by side, forming a divided northern and southern dynasties.

Then came the fall of the Kamakura shogunate and the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate.

After 40 years of fighting between the northern and southern dynasties, the Muromachi shogunate finally contributed to the unification of the northern and southern dynasties on the condition that the two unifications were restored.

However, the overlapping of the two unifications was not fulfilled in the end, and the remnants of the Southern Dynasty rebelled and established the Later Southern Dynasty.

Now I have just received a secret report that Emperor Nakako of the Later Southern Dynasty has entered Kamakura and appointed the former Kanto general Ashikaga Nariji as the general of the expedition and restored the Kamakura shogunate.

So there was infighting in Japan, and it became the Northern and Southern Dynasties again, and now there are two emperors, two shogunates, and two shoguns at the same time. ”

Japan's history and political situation are too abstract, and I don't know if the ministers who only read the books of sages and don't listen to things outside the window can understand it, Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and continued:

"All in all, in short, there was infighting in Korea, and the prince of Shouyang, Yi Yao, overthrew the king of Joseon, Yi Hongwei; And now Japan is also infighting, and it has become the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

This is God help me, let's sit on the profits of fishermen, take advantage of their illness, and ask for their lives.

The specific strategy is that we will first attack North Korea with naval divisions, and attack the Ming army in Pyongyang from the north and south to eliminate the Japanese-North Korean coalition forces.

Then the main forces of the naval division set out from Busan, North Korea, and landed in Japan. Occupy a base land first, and then have a Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the two shogunates of the north and south of Japan.

When Japan and North Korea are defeated, with their population of 20 million, the whole game of chess will be alive.

At that time, we took possession of the silver mines in Japan, and at the same time dumped the local silk, porcelain, and tea, and earned the silver in their hands to the imperial court.

I conservatively estimate that in the first ten years, five million taels of silver flowed from Japan to the imperial court every year. It will come down later, but it can also be three million taels a year.

Imagine it, will our days be so hard at that time haha? ”

When the people heard this, they had no choice but to flatter them against their hearts. For the flatbread painted by the emperor, everyone doesn't believe it and dare not eat it, but it's not easy to question it.

Zhu Qiyu was not difficult for others, and dealt with the trivial matters of the court for another hour, and sent the important ministers back.

When everyone left, Zhu Qiyu picked up Zhu Wenfang, and explained to him while walking back: "Brother Fang, you have to remember that when you become an emperor, you can't be fooled by Wenchen's big rules and regulations.

Wenchen will tell you that when you become an emperor, you have to have an early dynasty, a noon dynasty, a sutra feast, a sacrifice to the heavens, a sacrifice to your ancestors, and so on, a lot of trivial things.

You listen to them, and all your energy is wasted on these meaningless things.

The emperor's energy is to think and judge and control the overall situation. ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded thoughtfully.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "Can you really understand?" ”

Zhu Wenfang smiled: "I can really understand." Daddy is saying that the Han family should use it as a king's domineering miscellaneous, and should not be obsessed with Confucian red tape. ”

Zhu Qiyu pinched Zhu Wenfang's little face: "It's really a big ghost, it's hard for a peerless beauty like your mother, and the son born is extremely smart and clever."

When I'm your age, I'm only going to pee. ”

Zhu Wenfang asked again: "What is Daddy doing in the Lingyu Palace every day, is he quietly meditating on military and political affairs?" ”

Zhu Qiyu teased: "What are you thinking about, I suspect that you are yin and yang." It's true that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes. You're exactly like your mother, and you're a pusher.

I am in Lingyun Palace, and I am living a sweet and warm little life with your little mothers.

The elegance of the mountain dwelling, the joy of the boudoir, you will understand it when you grow up.

In another fifteen or sixteen years, I will pass on the throne to you. But ah, I can't pass on the Lingyu Palace to you, I want to live in it until I die, so you don't worry about my Lingyu Palace as soon as possible. ”
