Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 540 North and South Korea
In addition to the five sons and five daughters, Gao Guiying has a son, Dou Meiyi has a daughter outside the palace, and Bian Yujing has also recently become pregnant, and the brilliance of women is strong.

Since there is no shortage of heirs, these children outside the palace do not need to enter the palace, and it is not bad to raise them among the people.

"Daddy—" The eldest princess and the second princess, wearing beautiful skirts, flew into their arms like butterflies.

Zhu Yixi hugged happily, her heart was full of joy.

Ming system: The emperor's aunt is called the eldest princess, the emperor's sister is called the eldest princess, and the emperor's daughter is called the princess.

The difference between the two girls was three months. The young slave was shy, but the childish slave was generous. She was doted on by the emperor and was very close to him.

"Father—"

The eldest son of the concubine, who was only three years old, four years old, and five years old in a few months, held hands with his sister and the second daughter of the emperor, and saluted tremblingly.

The two were the rare twins of dragon and phoenix in the Ming Dynasty.

If it was twins, it would be troublesome, but dragon and phoenix twins have a balance of yin and yang. When they were born, the entire shogunate celebrated endlessly, thinking it was auspicious.

It's a pity that after the birth of the eldest son, he really can only be auspicious.

"En! Get up." Looking at the dignified and respectful eldest son, Zhu Yixi also had high hopes.

Afterwards, the princes and daughters who were able to walk also bowed cutely and swayingly under the leadership of the nanny.

Because it was winter, each one was wrapped into small rice dumplings, and the little faces were fleshy and very cute.

Seeing the emperor smiling, he was in a good mood, and the concubines also laughed.

The order of the princes and princesses of the Ming Dynasty, even those who died young, would be ordered into the next generation. Only in the Qing Dynasty, the eight-year-old order became the rule.

In the end, being held in his arms, the one-year-old eldest son was also very excited as he jumped up and down his little feet.

"Sit everyone!"

Zhu Yixi greeted, and the concubines took their seats one after another, while the children ate alone under the leadership of the wet nurse.

The dignified and generous queen Sun Xueniang, the cold Miaoxian, the long-legged Sun Xuaner, the childlike Huang Jieer, twins carved out of the same mold, sisters Zhang Yu and Zhang Man.

The delicate and naive Sun damselfly, the witty and witty Mu Han'er.

Several women have their own characteristics, making people linger and forget to return.

"I wonder how the Forbidden City compares to Nanjing?"

After eating, the couple began to talk heart-to-heart, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

"Beijing is too cold." Empress Sun Xueniang shook her head and said, "Third brother can't take it anymore, his nose is running out!"

"Yeah, it's too cold in Beijing, even with a fireplace, it's still uncomfortable."

The bulging Sun Damiana You didn't know it, she ate melon seeds and drank tea, and couldn't help but pouted and complained.

Everyone turned a blind eye to this.

The emperor is her brother-in-law and husband, and the queen is her sister. Who in the harem can do anything to her?Can only condone.

"If you want me to say, Beijing is better, it's a big deal!"

Sun Xuan'er couldn't bear the loneliness, and liked the huge Forbidden City quite a lot: "We don't get crowded if we live with more people."

"Nanjing is better." At this time, Miaoxian, who remained silent, couldn't help saying: "After all, there is a coal mountain."

Now, the topic was instantly dead.

The faces of the girls turned pale, and they felt cold for a while.

Zhu Yixi had no choice but to break the atmosphere and said, "Let's wait for a while longer. When the garden in Xishan is repaired, we will live there and feel very comfortable."

"At that time, not only can you soak in hot springs, but you can also ride horses, climb mountains, and eat barbecue, without so many complicated etiquette."

With this description, the girls were instantly moved.

The rules in the imperial palace have always been strict. Even though the emperor and empress are tolerant, it is especially tormenting for the concubines who were born in the private sector.

It would be great if he could restore the freedom he had in the palace.

"This is really good!"

Sun damselfly jumped for joy.

At night, Zhu Yixi went to Miaoxian's palace.

As for the woman, he promised that he would build an exclusive Taoist temple for her in the garden.

This made Miaoxian, who grew up in a Taoist temple, overjoyed, and became more and more proficient in Taoism, trying her best to please her.

During the Winter Solstice Dynasty, King Li Hao of Joseon sent envoys to express gratitude and weep bitterly.

It turned out that under the command of Li Yingren, [-] Ming troops finally defended the city of Pyongyang, one of the three capitals, and thus saved half of North Korea.

Because of the winter, Hong Chengchou had to withdraw his troops, and the two sides had a rest period.

As a result, the Korean peninsula has fallen into a confrontation.

The Pyongyang court in the north supported Hamjeong, Pyongan, and half of Hwanghae, as well as Gyeongsang and Jeolla in the south.

In the south, the Seoul court is Chungcheong Province, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, and half of Huanghai Province.

In theory, Pyongyang has the upper hand, but in fact Gyeonggi-do is the essence of North Korea, where 30% of the food is produced.

Moreover, it is safe to be in winter at present. Once the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, the Manchu Qing will cross the Yalu River, and Pyongyang will be attacked by enemies, and it will be at stake.

In a real sense, Seoul has the upper hand.

Therefore, the Pyongyang court lacks everything, and even Dayi is hard to score with Seoul.

In this way, it can only be discussed by the court.

The cabinet, the six ministries, the inspectorate, the five army governor's office, and more than a dozen ministers gathered to discuss the matter of entering the court.

The first to speak was Zhu Mou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He said: "Currently, there are 100,000 people in the court, but the total monthly food and grass pay is [-] yuan. If we are sending more troops, there are not a few million. It's hard to keep Pyongyang."

"You can let them go to Ganghwa Island, or Jeju Island."

At this time, Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of War, raised his head and said: "Pyongyang cannot be kept, we can definitely keep these islands, and save those troops from defending the city."

"No, if we evacuate from the land, Dayi will have to surrender, and North Korea will really become the purse of the Qing Dynasty."

Gao Hongtu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said hurriedly.

"You can't say that. If you stay in Pyongyang, you can only become a target. The consequences of attacking from both sides are very serious. No matter how many troops we have, we can't stand it."

Lu Daqi talked about things regardless of people, and said loudly.

"Without righteousness, North Korea cannot hold on at all."

Gao Hongtu flicked his sleeves and refused to give in.

"In my opinion, instead of guarding, it's better to go straight to Seoul."

At this time, Zhu Meng, who represented the five-army governor's mansion, couldn't help but said:

"As long as we land by the sea and go to Seoul with the cooperation of the navy, as long as we win the First World War, North Korea will be completely stabilized."

"That's right!" Lu Daqi agreed.

"Nonsense!" Zhu Mou couldn't help scolding the general, "Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are here? We must send out the Beijing camp."

"All right!"

For this reason, Zhu Yixi stopped and said, "According to the previous plan, he treated North Korea as a wound and bled the Man Qing."

"It's completely messed up if you do it like this."

Now, everyone is quiet.

After a moment of silence, the Chief Assistant Zhao Shu stood up.
