My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 110 Power and Grace

"It's just in time, I'll settle the score with him!"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard that Yang Shiqi was coming, he strode angrily to the outside of the hall, but Zhu Zhanhe tried to stop him.

I saw Yang Shiqi in official uniform, standing alone outside the hall waiting.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Yang Shiqi, his anger surged even more. He came to him in a few steps, grabbed his skirt and said angrily, "You are so brave. You didn't help me in Wenhua Palace before, but now you dare to come?"

Zhu Gaoxu said that he was about to hit someone with his fist raised, but Zhu Zhanhe behind him was in a hurry, and was about to rush forward and hug the opponent's arm.

But I didn't expect Yang Shiqi to say loudly without changing his expression: "Before, Yang was an official of the crown prince, and he was supposed to be loyal to the crown prince. How could he easily change his family?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu finally didn't hit his fist, but he sneered and asked back: "Listen to what you said, are you still a loyal minister?"

"The salary of eating the king is a matter of being loyal to the king. Although Yang is not talented, he still doesn't bother to be that swaying fool!"

Yang Shiqi replied seriously.

"Then, as the long history of my family, you are eating my salary, so you will be loyal to me in the future?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked again.

"nature!"

Yang Shiqi nodded without hesitation.

Hearing Yang Shiqi say so readily that he would be loyal to him, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't vent his anger.

"Father, we will be a family with Yang Changshi in the future, so don't worry about the past!"

Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him at this time, so Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the situation and let go of his hand.

At this time, Zhu Zhanhe showed an apologetic smile to Zhu Yangshiqi, but the other party smiled generously, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

However, Zhu Zhanhe is now looking at Yang Shiqi with admiration. Before, he only knew that Yang Shiqi was talented, but now he saw that he could calm Zhu Gaoxu's anger with just a few words, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

"Okay, let's forget about the past, you are Chang Shi, and you should serve me. In three days, you are ready to go to sex with me!"

Zhu Gaoxu finally gave Yang Shiqi instructions.

"No problem, before that, is there anything His Highness wants to order the next official to do?"

Yang Shiqi asked very proactively, since he has become the long history of the Han Palace, he will naturally do his duty.

"This one……"

Zhu Gaoxu touched his chin and didn't know what to ask Yang Shiqi to do. After all, he hadn't used Changshi for so many years.

"Yang Changshi, my father and I are discussing the matter of conquering Tianzhu, why don't you come and listen and give us some advice!"

Zhu Zhanhe took the initiative to invite.

"Yes, yes, when you attack Tianzhu, there are some things that you need to deal with!"

Zhu Gaoxu slapped his hands and agreed, leaving all the chores to Yang Shiqi, he only needs to specialize in fighting.

So Yang Shiqi followed Zhu Gaoxu and his son into the hall.

Zhu Zhanhe knew that Yang Shiqi's knowledge of overseas must be limited, so he picked up the globe, combined with the map on the table, and gave Yang Shiqi an overview of the overseas situation.

As a result, Yang Shiqi became more and more shocked the more he listened. He finally understood why Zhu Gaochi asked him to have a good chat with Zhu Zhanhe yesterday. It turned out that the whole world was so big, and Daming only occupied a corner of the world.

With this discovery, Yang Shiqi didn't dare to underestimate overseas, so he listened very seriously, raising some doubts from time to time, and Zhu Zhanhe helped him answer them one by one.

This made Yang Shiqi even more shocked. After the conversation with Zhu Gaochi yesterday, Yang Shiqi had already attached great importance to Zhu Zhanhe in his heart, but now he realized that he still underestimated this His Royal Highness, and the other party's erudition was definitely far beyond his imagination. .

Then Zhu Zhanhe introduced Zhu Gaoxu's plan for dispatching troops. To put it simply, he first went to Jiaozhi to recruit servants, and next year he sailed to the West with Zheng He's fleet and temporarily settled in the Lion Kingdom.

Finally, it was said that Zhu Gaoxu went straight to Huanglong, intending to start with the powerful country in the north of Tianzhu, so as to speed up the conquest of Tianzhu.

After Yang Shiqi listened, he nodded approvingly at first, and then asked: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the whole plan, especially with the foundation of the Lion Kingdom, and then plotting the entire Tianzhu, it is even step by step, but I have a problem."

"what is the problem?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked first.

"When the prince sent troops to conquer Tianzhu, did he give priority to prestige or kindness?"

Yang Shiqi asked with a solemn expression.

The so-called prestige and grace are two completely different methods. For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang fought the world, the main enemy was the Mongols. Naturally, prestige was the main method. Even if he chased him to Mobei, he would destroy the remnant Yuan.

In contrast, when Zhu Dijing was in trouble, although the war was very cruel, and after entering Nanjing, a group of Jianwen old officials were purged, but then he began to focus on kindness, or Huairou, except for the ministers loyal to Zhu Yunqi , other ministers were not implicated.

For example, Xia Yuanji was an old minister of Zhu Yunqi's time, and he was still reused. After all, they were all ministers of the old Zhu family, and it was impossible for Zhu Di to clean everyone up.

Zhu Zhanhe understood Yang Shiqi's meaning, but he didn't answer, but asked him back with a smile: "In Yang Changshi's opinion, should he be worthy or benevolent?"

"Tianzhu people are foreigners, so it should be prestige-based, but we don't have any roots in Tianzhu. Even if the son wants to move the Ming people to Tianzhu, it will not be achieved overnight. Therefore, when we were in Tianzhu, we were a minority, and the minority ruled the majority. , it is best to focus on grace, and of course the necessary means of power cannot be lacking."

Yang Shiqi replied without thinking.

"Yang Changshi is wrong. In Tianzhu, prestige must be the main priority, because Tianzhu has a peculiar religion that divides people into four classes. In addition, there is the lowest kind of untouchables..."

Zhu Zhanhe introduced the situation of Hinduism in detail. To put it simply, Hinduism is actually a political product, invented by foreign invaders, mainly to facilitate the rule of the majority by the minority.

Now the whole of Tianzhu has accepted this religion, so there is no need for Zhu Gaoxu to be polite to them and use force to cleanse the upper class of the religion, or replace it, or create another class at the top.

Either way, Hinduism can be used to speed up their rule over Tianzhu.

"Divide people into four classes? This...isn't this the way Yuan people ruled our Central Plains?"

Yang Shiqi slammed the table suddenly and said angrily.

"That's right, when the Mongols took over the Central Plains, they used Semu people a lot, and many of these Semu people came from Central Asia. They often invaded Tianzhu, so they must have a good understanding of Tianzhu's situation. Therefore, I suspect that the Yuan people ruled the Central Plains method, it may refer to Tianzhu."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded.

"However, the Yuan people have ruled the Central Plains for less than a hundred years. If we use this method, will we follow the old path of the Yuan people?"

Yang Shiqi asked worriedly again at this time.
