Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 548 Ambitious
It seems to be an ordinary family dinner, but for some people, this is not an ordinary family dinner at all.

Although they haven't officially gone to court yet, and it seems that they haven't officially submitted their credentials, etc., but for many people, such a family banquet actually has a very serious meaning, and they must not be sloppy.

This can be regarded as the characteristics of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi. The two like to discuss some things in private.As long as they have discussed some things, then when they arrive at the court, it will naturally mean that the resistance will be much smaller.

In fact, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen's vassal state titles have now been determined, which is a very important thing.This is an out-and-out major event. For Zhu Yunying, he can be regarded as fulfilling some small wishes now.

Although Zhu Xi was late, he came anyway.Although he was scolded by Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu was still very happy.

Although these five sons are often a bit of a dandy and a jerk, they are still one of Lao Zhu's darlings anyway.

Lao Zhu was even more in a good mood, leading these promising descendants to Fengxian Hall, Lao Zhu was also very confident.

After Lao Zhu finished offering incense, it was naturally Zhu Yunying who offered incense to the ancestors of Lao Zhu's family.Little Zhu is also ranked ahead of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan, and there is still a big difference between the monarch and his ministers.

After sacrificing the ancestors of the old Zhu family, Zhu Xi took Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan to leave the imperial city.

Taking these nephews out of the palace, Zhu Wei was naturally very happy.To be honest, Zhu Wei still has some feelings for Zhu Gaochi, his nephew. Now he is very happy to see his nephew, whom he hasn't seen for a long time, come back.

Zhu Yunying actually didn't care much about the dynamics of these great Ming clans.Now the threat posed by the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty can actually be said to be very limited, and Zhu Yunying is naturally more aware of this.

At this time, if any clan wanted to rebel, Zhu Yunying didn't think that the clan had the intention of rebelling, but would only think that it was madness.

At that time, don't think about sending troops to crusade, and simply send a better doctor over there. This is the most practical way.

After returning to the Hall of Spring Harmony, Xu Miaoqing greeted her immediately, and she naturally knew some things in the palace.It's just that there are some things, Xu Miaoqing also knows that she has a special status, and of course she is not suitable to come forward.

Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are all sons of Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Di's concubine.Speaking of which, this is also Xu Miaoqing's nephew.

I also have to feel the abilities of the older generation like Lao Zhu or Xu Da. Their children generally have a big age gap.The age difference between children and grandchildren is not too big, which is very common in Lao Zhu's generation.

Looking at Xu Miaoqing, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Gao Chi looks a little stronger than before. As we said a few years ago, Gao Chi is too fat, a little obese. Although he is still a little fat now, he is still thinner. We reckon that we are not used to it in Japan.”

Xu Miaoqing felt relieved after hearing this, and said, "I have seen Gao Chi a few times in the early years, but I haven't seen him for many years."

"In a few days, you just call him into the palace." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Gao Chi should come here. After all, you are their aunt and also our Daming Empress."

Xu Miaoqing smiled and shook her head and said, "The concubine is still missing. After all, Gao Chi is the envoy of the vassal state. Now that he is not young, it is not easy for the concubine to be summoned. Hearing that they are okay now, the concubine feels relieved .”

In fact, Lao Zhu's family really has some affectionate attributes, and this is probably a good continuation of Lao Zhu's here.

In Lao Zhu's mind, the only wife he has is Empress Ma.And Da Zhu is similar, Chang's is what he misses most in his heart.Zhu Yunying is actually similar, she has never been keen on things like choosing a concubine, but she has always been more affectionate with Xu Miaoqing.

In fact, in Lao Zhu's house, of course, there are some lustful people, but there are indeed some kinds of love.Even if there are concubines, beauties, etc., they are more devoted to a certain woman.

It is only natural that Xu Miaoqing cares about Zhu Gaochi.It's just that she also has some divisions in her heart. She is now the empress of Daming, so she is naturally the mother of the world, and she needs to put the country and society first.

Besides, her son is the crown prince.Xu Miaoqing is naturally more aware of the difference between her nephew and her own son, and she doesn't need to hesitate at all. She can make some decisions easily.

"The emperor's grandfather and we also gave the fourth uncle and the sixth uncle the names of the country, one is Dongri and the other is Fuyue." Zhu Yunying laughed and said quite proudly, "Our Ming Dynasty also had a clan that founded the country outside. After our Ming Dynasty, we should also have more clans supporting Daming."

For Zhu Yunying, he is really looking forward to it, and he really wants to make the territory of Daming bigger, because the territory of Daming is actually not 'complete' enough.

Although Lao Zhu regained Yanyun at the beginning, the two Northern Expeditions were also chasing death and north.In recent years, Lao Zhu has actually been very concerned and sensitive about the Wusi-Tibet area.

At the beginning, Lao Zhu punished the chaos of Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to control it.In fact, in the fifth year of Hongwu, Uszang Shedi Shi Nangaba Zangbu sent the tribute to the advance envoy, and the imperial court once approved the nomination of native officials in the Uszang area.

However, in the final analysis, this is relatively out of Da Ming's control, and it is only a title in name.The current Uzang is not really controlled by Daming.

And in the northwest region, even though Meng Yuan was destroyed, Wala still has a lot of power there.As one of the four major Mongolian Khanates, the Chagatai Khanate also controls the Northwest Region.

Zhu Yunying is still very concerned about the Western Regions, which is also a strategic point that he must control.

What's more, Zhu Yunying is also very clear that if it weren't for Lao Zhu's previous arrangements, Zhu Yunying would not have "organized the Northern Expedition" when he first came to the throne.It has only been a few years since the establishment of the Nuer Gandu Division and the real control of the Mobei and Liaodong regions.

Regarding the land, Zhu Yunying can be said to be very paranoid, especially in some sensitive areas, Zhu Yunying is more concerned.Zhu Yunying couldn't let go of some strategic points in his eyes, and they had to be completely taken down and completely controlled.

Zhu Yunying's obsession with the land sometimes made Lao Zhu a little dumbfounded, and even worried.

Although in the eyes of Lao Zhu, his precious grandson is almost perfect, he is definitely a holy king, and he will definitely be able to govern the Ming Dynasty well.It's just that in Lao Zhu's eyes, his grandson is too good at martial arts, maybe he is a military emperor of Han Dynasty.

After all, Lao Zhu is also very clear that Zhu Yunying has always been ambitious, thinking of occupying some places around Daming.

Maybe in Lao Zhu's view, if his precious grandson's mind is followed, the territory after the Ming Dynasty may be comparable to that of the original Mongolian Yuan.Especially now it seems that the Ming Dynasty is also following the path of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

After all, during the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties, the Mongols liked to set up a khanate.The famous Four Great Khanates are really very powerful, and now they occupy a lot of land, and they were once said to be the most powerful force on this planet.

Now the Ming Dynasty is doing well, and most of the old places in China have been recovered, and some new territories have been opened up, and feudal states have been canonized.

This is definitely a good thing, but Zhu Yunying's insatiable attitude, who knows if he will walk out of some 'strong man' ways.After all, although it has not been proposed that "the country will perish with the weak, and the Han alone will perish with the strong", many people still know it to some extent.

Little Zhu ran over excitedly, jumped on the chair and said, "Mother, we just went to see it for a while, and our great-grandfather also said that when we become emperor, we will confer a few vassal states and enshrine the surrounding areas. It's all taken."

Zhu Yunying couldn't bear it any longer, she glanced at little Zhu and said, "Tell me yourself, if you want to seal off the country, which places do you plan to seal off?"

"Father, we won't seal them all out." Little Zhu immediately said, "Annan or Jiaozhi, we have to occupy a place. The northwest area, we will definitely not let it out, and we think so too in Wusi Tibet. It will be won sooner or later. No wonder our eldest uncle is in Yunnan, that end is too important."

Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing, and still said proudly, "Remember, the world is so big that our Ming Dynasty can't take it all. The territory is too big, and sometimes the court can't take care of it. It's just that some Even if there is no output in these years, it must be occupied.”

This is what Zhu Yunying needs to remind Zhu Yunying. After all, Annan in history was once occupied by Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately someone gave it up voluntarily.

It is because there is always a need for governance and suppression, and they feel that places like Annan are of little value, and they did not think of the strategic significance of the Indochina Peninsula.

In fact, many people are not very clear that in the history of Liaodong, Nuer Gandusi and other areas, they were under the real control of Daming for less than 20 years, and they were also abolished by Daming's good grandson and others, or Duoyan Sanwei After the 'rebellion', I felt powerless.

These successful kings seem to have created some prosperous times.However, some practices of these successful kings also allowed the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to give up some important areas, so that some surrounding tribes had the opportunity to continue to grow.

Little Zhu doesn't seem to have much thought now, and many of his views are actually scripted, just repeating some of Zhu Yunying's intentions.

But no matter what, in Zhu Yunying's opinion, Xiao Zhu's vision is still good.It seems that little Zhu, this kid, actually didn't intend to be a complete and conservative king. This kid still has some ambitions.

This is definitely something Zhu Yunying should be gratified about. To be honest, Zhu Yunying really didn't really care about the so-called Emperor Ren or what some Confucian scholars thought was a prosperous age, and he didn't think it was a real prosperous age.

The prosperity of the literati, especially the prosperity in the eyes of some rotten scholars, Zhu Yunying really looked down upon.Even if some people thought it was militarism, Zhu Yunying didn't care.

In fact, Zhu Yunying is also very clear that if you want to continue to conquer the Quartet, you don't just need a strong military force of the Ming Dynasty. The strength of a dynasty obviously does not mean that a strong army is enough. This also requires clear and clear officials within the dynasty.

Internal governance is an extremely important matter, and Zhu Yunying has never dared to be sloppy with this matter, even if he seems to be in control of the imperial power.

Zhu Yunying doesn't think it's possible to support war with war.He also doesn't think that the current Ming Dynasty is the "military state system" of the Han Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is not the kind of huge war machine now, and it is not the kind that cannot be stopped at all.

In Zhu Yunying's eyes, it should be done according to one's ability. Although Zhu Yunying has great ambitions, he has always planned it slowly. He rarely fights on multiple fronts, or thinks about sweeping one side.

Zhu Yunying understands this truth, but whether other people understand this truth is another matter.

Because in the eyes of many people, the emperor Zhu Yunying is a copy of Emperor Hongwu. They know that Emperor Yingshi will never become the so-called "Renzong". .

Nowadays, for many courtiers, they still have to start preparing to sing praises for Emperor Yingshi.

Even though many courtiers and scholars were very dissatisfied with Emperor Yingshi, they still had to admit Emperor Yingshi's foresight and wisdom.

The Ming Dynasty is still going to Nanyang, and it is said that it is still building larger sea ships.In the eyes of many people, Nanyang can also bring enough benefits, and those oceans that were originally looked down upon are actually profitable.

Needless to say, the silver mines in Japan are an extremely important part of Daming's wealth.The original Northern Expedition to the desert can also be said to have swept away the hidden dangers in the north of the imperial court, at least for decades, there is no need to worry about it.

At the beginning, many civil and military officials also recognized the reduction of the vassal. Even though the power of the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty seemed relatively limited, there could still be some hidden dangers in the end.Cutting the feudal clan, this is absolutely the right thing to do.

It's just that when the Ming Dynasty canonized the clan to found the country overseas, many civil and military officials actually watched with cold eyes. If Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi were not too domineering, they would have already played.

But now it seems that Emperor Hongwu is Emperor Hongwu after all, and Emperor Yingshi is indeed wise and extraordinary. This layout has been effective for more than ten years.

The clan of the Ming Dynasty is about to establish a country overseas, and when it is established, it will be two vassal states. Of course, it is necessary to sing praises for the son of the Ming Dynasty.

Will I be aggrieved in my heart? Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is domineering, he is a wise and wise emperor after all. This is a holy king.

With such a sage king and such a talented and bold emperor, it is not necessarily impossible for the Ming Dynasty to become stronger and surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties!
