Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 563 Overbearing Zhu's Father and Son

It is not a particularly surprising thing for the prince to appear in the court, and it is also considered common.The status of the crown prince in the Ming Dynasty was stable, and many civil and military officials knew it well.Wanting to go to a hidden residence with potential basically did not exist in the Ming Dynasty.

There are rules for everything, and it can be said that there are traces to follow. The system of the eldest son is obviously implemented extremely resolutely in Da Ming.

Zhu Yunying, who walked like a dragon and a tiger, stepped up to Danbi and sat down directly.At this time, all civil and military officials also bowed once and kowtowed three times, which was the beginning.

Zhu Yunying spoke directly and said, "Prince, since you are here, stand in front of His Majesty Dan."

With a straight face, Xiao Zhu bowed politely and said, "I thank my father, Huang Long."

After saying this, little Zhu walked up to Dan Bi, and all civil and military officials got used to it.During the period of Emperor Hongwu, Dazhu at that time often stood on top of Danbi.The so-called "Your Majesty" seems to be the same address for the prince in the Ming Dynasty. The prince of the Ming Dynasty always stood on Majesty Dan, and the etiquette of the old Zhu family was different.

Little Zhu turned to face all the civil and military officials, and asked directly, "Are there any officials entering or leaving Beijing at Honglu Temple?"

This is also the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the rule of the early dynasty.The emperor's visit to court was not only about discussing matters, but also receiving some people who left Beijing.Officials leave Beijing, all of which require kindness.The same is true for entering Beijing, you need to thank you.

If the emperor chooses to summon them, then these people need to enter the palace to have an audience.If the emperor doesn't see him, he will perform five prostrations and three knocks at a distance under the court or outside the Meridian Gate, and then he can go about his own business after saluting.

The officials of Honglu Temple were a little embarrassed, because they all needed to be reported.It seems that the prince did not communicate with the emperor, because the emperor made a decision yesterday and did not plan to meet officials who entered or left Beijing.Probably because those people's official positions were not high enough, the emperor naturally couldn't meet everyone.

After the officials of Honglu Temple gave the report, little Zhu asked again, "Then there are foreign envoys coming to Beijing?"

This time, the officials of Honglu Temple became serious, "Qizou Your Majesty, King Chadu Hongwu of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom passed away in 28 years, and his son Wu Ning succeeded to the throne, and no obituary has been sent yet."

Zhu Yunying's expression became unhappy, and she said, "Ryukyu, the wolf of Zhongshan!"

At this time, everyone doesn't care about the allusion of "Wolf of Zhongshan". Many people even think that the king of Zhongshan Kingdom is in line with Emperor Yingshi's evaluation. It's been a beating.

The reason for saying this is also because the current Ryukyu Kingdom has a history, which was recorded in the Song Dynasty.After the current Ryukyu Yingzu Dynasty, it was divided into three kingdoms: Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei.There are even some other tribes, some little chiefs.

In fact, in the early years of Hongwu, Chadu, the king of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom, sent his younger brother Taiqi and others to accompany the Ming envoy Yang Zai to the court to contribute things.Later, Shanbei Wang Panizhi and Shannan Wang Chengchadu also paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty one after another.At this point, Beishan, Zhongshan, and Nanshan began to pay tribute to the Ming government, using the Ming Dynasty title, and became the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

More than ten years ago, the King of Shannan and the King of Zhongshan jointly fought against the King of Shanbei and attacked each other. The Taizu ordered the internal history supervisor Liang Min to issue an edict, ordering the three parties to "stop the soldiers and stop the people", and the three kings obeyed the order and sent envoys to the court to contribute .

Even ten years ago, in order to obtain the technology to build large ships, so as to avoid the damage of the waves to the messenger ships.Ryukyu also received 36 technicians from Fujian who were good at shipbuilding and navigation sent by Ming Dynasty.

Now Zhu Yunying seems to be a little dissatisfied, and it seems that there are some reasons for this. Daming has become more serious about this matter.

Little Zhu became serious at this time, and turned to face Zhu Yunying, "Qizuo father, the Ryukyu Zhongshan country was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the king died and his son succeeded him, how dare you not report it to Daming? Father, the sons and ministers think It is time to send an envoy to order Wu Ning to enter the court to plead guilty!"

Little Zhu had just finished speaking, which immediately caused many civil and military officials to whisper, and many people also felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was really angry.

If you really want to talk about it, Chadu has not sent an envoy to Beijing until now, which is obviously unreasonable.Whether it's Chadu's death or Wuning's succession, it needs to be reported to Daming.Even Wu Ning's succession to the throne requires Daming's canonization.

It is normal to send envoys to warn, and this is also the attitude that Ming, the suzerain country, should have. Some of Wu Ning's actions made Ming have reason to be angry, and there is no problem with this.

However, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty directly asked Wu Ning, the leader of the Zhongshan Kingdom, to enter the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty, which seemed extremely severe.Normally, this means sending envoys to Beijing to plead guilty, and this is a routine that everyone is relatively familiar with.

The prince of the Ming Dynasty did not play cards according to common sense, perhaps because the prince of the Ming Dynasty was young, so the means of dealing with them were a little more drastic.

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, and he agreed, "The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple issued an order to declare that Wu Ning will enter Beijing to plead guilty before he can be granted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunying can be regarded as setting the tone for this matter all at once. The ruler of Zhongshan Kingdom still did not send envoys to Beijing five years after the death of the previous ruler. Naturally, Daming cannot allow this to happen. Such a thing is also inconsistent with the law. .

Zhu Yunying also took this kind of treatment as a matter of course.Daming now has such strength, since it has become a vassal state of Daming, it naturally needs to accept some rules of Daming, but it can't do everything its own way.

The Ming Dynasty will protect the Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom, and will also give them some technical and trade support, but since it has chosen to get some dividends from the Ming Dynasty, it naturally needs to do its duty as a vassal state. The Ming Dynasty is not blindly benevolent and generous. That's impossible.

It might be okay to talk about other monarchs, but the one on the dragon chair of the Ming Dynasty was sometimes even more domineering than Emperor Hongwu.Especially for some surrounding countries, Emperor Hongwu still had some tolerance and preferential treatment for many times, but Yingshi was completely different.

Regarding Zhongshan's disrespect, some people think that this may be a sign that the emperor cares about rules and regulations.But some people think that this is also the emperor Yingshi's intention to maintain the majesty of the crown prince.

After all, it was rare for the prince to make his own voice in the courtroom. Even if the way of dealing with it might be a little rough and aggressive, it doesn't mean that there is no reason at all. Naturally, Emperor Yingshi couldn't find too many problems in doing so.

At most, it is a little harsh on the vassal state, which is actually not a big deal.

This matter seems to have passed like this, but some people think that Emperor Yingshi's actions can be regarded as killing chickens to warn monkeys, and this is also to prepare for a rainy day.

The heirs of the two vassal states, Dongri and Fuyue, are still in Yingtianfu. These are also two vassal states established overseas by the clan of the Ming Dynasty. I hope that these two vassal states have some careful thoughts from the beginning.

Emperor Yingshi now asks Wu Ning, the lord of Zhongshan Kingdom, to enter the court to plead guilty. Maybe this is just for the princes of Dongri and Fuyue, the two vassal states, to let them know what is good and bad.

Even if they become the king's sons, they are still the subjects of Daming.Don't think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and don't think that you can do whatever you want across the sea. The Ming Dynasty is not so easy to fool!
This matter seemed to be so settled, other people probably couldn't change Emperor Yingshi's mind, and in fact there was no need to say anything for Wu Ning.

In the final analysis, Wu Ning made a mistake first, and the Ming Dynasty did not punish Wu Ning for no reason. The next step is to look at Wu Ning's choice.

If you choose to enter the court to plead guilty, the Ming Dynasty will probably give a severe reprimand, and then Wu Ning will still be canonized. Basically, there will be no other actions. If there is no accident, this matter will pass like this .

But if Wu Ning chooses to resist and be stubborn, maybe the Ming Dynasty will choose to raise troops.Even if the Ming Dynasty is making big moves in Korea, the Ryukyu Kingdom is weak and terrifying, let alone in front of Daming, even in front of Korea and Japan.

What's more, the current Ryukyu can be regarded as the "Three Kingdoms". Since Ming Dynasty can resolve the previous struggle of the three countries, it can now support the other two countries to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom.

As for Wu Ning not taking the warning of the Ming Dynasty seriously, and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to punish him when the time comes, this is not impossible.

It's just that many people are more aware that such a probability basically does not exist. Since Emperor Yingshi chose to warn, he must be prepared for Wu Ning not to plead guilty.The Ming Dynasty will not let himself be caught on the back of a tiger, and if something happens next time, it will be the method of thunder.

This is not just for the other two kingdoms of Ryukyu, nor is it for Dongri and Fuyue to show the chickens and monkeys. educational significance.

This matter now seems to be in such a pattern. The prince proposed and the emperor made the decision. Basically, there are no other variables.

What everyone has to do now is to cooperate with the emperor's decision-making and do well what the emperor has explained.Or start preparing in advance, no matter what choice Wu Ning makes, Daming needs to make a strategy and preparation for it.

This can also be regarded as the completion of an important topic, but at this time, many people are in a more complicated mood.

When Emperor Hongwu was in power in the past, Da Zhu or Xiao Zhu at that time often put forward some suggestions that were not recognized by civil and military officials, but Emperor Hongwu chose to adopt the suggestions of the prince or grandson in most cases.

Turning around now, it seems that the little prince of the Ming Dynasty still has such power and treatment. This little man who is less than ten years old still holds the power to make major decisions in the world.

The nobles of the Xu lineage were even more excited. Although they all knew that the crown prince was favored by the emperor, they also knew that the position of the crown prince was stable.But now that they have seen some things with their own eyes, seeing the power of the prince, they naturally feel honored.

To be more realistic, it is natural to think that my descendants will have more opportunities to make contributions and enjoy wealth, just like many nobles who are often in the same line now.

Obviously, the early court still needs to continue, and even in the eyes of many people, the affairs on the Ryukyu side are nothing more than trivial matters.Even many civil and military officials don't know where Ryukyu is located. After all, this small country is not a country like Koryo or Annan. It is too small to deserve more attention from Da Ming.

What needs to be done next is naturally related to the border military newspaper, or the military issues of Ming Dynasty. These are all prior to general political affairs, and these are important matters that must be taken seriously.

If Xu Huizu was in the court, these things would basically be presided over by Xu Huizu.But Xu Huizu was not in court, and many people's eyes were focused on Chang Mao, who had a beard and a burly figure.

It's just that Chang Mao seems to be closing his eyes and resting his mind at this moment. It seems that he has nothing to say, as if there is no military situation that needs his attention.

But everyone also thinks this is a very normal thing. When Xu Huizu was in Ying Tianfu, Chang Mao had such an attitude.When Xu Huizu was away, Chang Mao also had the same attitude. Basically, he didn't speak easily.And even if they open their mouths, they basically cater to the emperor.

Xu Yingxu gritted his teeth a little bit, he shouldn't trust Chang Mao.Who is Chang Mao, let alone the identity of the emperor's uncle.As Chang Yuchun's son and Feng Sheng's son-in-law, Chang Mao almost hacked Nahachu to death after drinking when Feng Sheng surrendered Nahachu, causing Nahachu to rebel!
If it wasn't for Chang Yuchun's legacy, even Chang Yuchun's legacy wouldn't work.It can only be said that if Chang Mao had not had a nephew emperor, not to mention being beheaded, dismissal from office would be light, and exile and the like would definitely be indispensable.

Chang Mao didn't care about that, he just continued to play the role of hob meat, he didn't need to worry so much, he just needed to support the emperor mindlessly.

Although Xu Yingxu gritted his teeth a bit, but facing Chang Mao, he really had no choice.First of all, not to mention that he is just a marquis, even his elder brother Xu Huizu is helpless when facing Chang Mao.

The one who can deal with Chang Mao is Liang Guogong Sapphire, and the others are really useless in front of Chang Mao.Even Feng Sheng, one of the gods of war in the Ming Dynasty in the early years, couldn't do it, but Chang Mao was a hob meat that even his father-in-law dared to cheat!
Just when Xu Yingxu was about to step forward, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong stood up, "Qizou Your Majesty, I think that the war in Koryo is going well, and autumn and winter are about to enter, the war should stop temporarily, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty should stick to the territory."

This is no problem. Many people also know that Da Ming's war in Koryo is progressing relatively smoothly, and they all know that Da Ming is now preparing to stabilize the defense.

At this time, Li Jinglong spoke again, "I think that it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. The founding general may grow old or die. The court should train generals in Korea!"

Good guy, everyone immediately realized that Cao Guogong wanted to gain benefits for the Wuyuan he was in charge of, and strive for opportunities to make contributions!
