This person may have somewhat different opinions.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Cui Minzhe who was kneeling humbly and said, "Just tell me!"

"Although Goryeo was enlightened by flowers, it was completely different from the original one. Since the Tang Dynasty, our original imperial dynasty has promoted imperial examinations, abolished aristocratic families, respected the imperial power, and allowed the Holy Lord to dominate the world, and the common people also have a path to advancement.

"

This is correct. The most important thing for a country is to allow the people below to have a way to move up. To prevent the inherently privileged class from controlling the power of the country for a long time.

The Tang Dynasty is a famous watershed in China. Before the Tang Dynasty, China was ruled by aristocrats. After the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination became popular, allowing children from ordinary families to enter the ruling class, which improved the conflicts among various classes and resolved the instability of the country.

The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty did not hold imperial examinations and did not allow ordinary people to have a path to advancement, so the country could not last more than a hundred years. It was precisely after seeing this that the old man paid special attention to the imperial examinations and improving the status of the people after he ascended the throne.

"It is a good thing to say that students from poor families in the Ming Dynasty came from the common people, so they know the sufferings of the people." Cui Minzhe continued, "But Goryeo is completely different. The common people are like pigs and dogs. The aristocratic families and the Goryeo royal family jointly rule Goryeo. Schools and other places,

Those who are accepted are the children of everyone, and ordinary people cannot read or write."

"Seven out of ten Goryeo lands are in the hands of aristocratic families, and their orders are higher than those of the government. Without their help, the government orders cannot be communicated and the superiors and subordinates cannot be united. But this generation is greedy and has no loyalty. On the surface, they are converted to the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, it is hidden selfishness."

"Compared with them, the Celestial Empire is an outsider after all. No matter how good it is, under their instigation, the people will only recognize them and not the Ming Dynasty! If things go on like this, the remnants of Goryeo will surely resurrect and cause the chaos of the Ming Dynasty!"

The power of these wealthy families cannot be underestimated. The surnames Cui, Zheng, and Park in Goryeo have a long history and are very popular among the people. Moreover, these surnames have many descendants, and they are closely related to each other and cannot be underestimated.

Not to mention the wealthy families in Goryeo like those in the Han Dynasty, even the rural gentry in the Ming Dynasty had extremely high appeal. In this era, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, so these people were the foundation pillars of the country.

Later, when the Qing army entered the pass, they came to a large country with a small number of people and were able to rule smoothly. Because Dorgon followed the plan of Hong Chengchou and others, all officials in the Ming Dynasty were restored to their posts and performed their duties. The property of the gentry was preserved and appeased.

common people.

Under the suppression of the emperors of the past dynasties, the gentry still had such ability. Not to mention the famous Goryeo families that have been passed down for hundreds of years!

"What do you think?" Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, "If Goryeo is the land of the Ming Dynasty, it will follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty. The whole world is not the land of the king. The king will not share the world with the aristocratic family, let alone allow them to grow bigger. There is a limit to wooing and appeasing them.

Well, since we can't satisfy these Goryeo aristocratic families, is there only one way?" After saying that, he took a sip of wine and said coldly, "Kill?"

"Not only must we kill, but we must kill in a big way!"

Cui Minzhe said loudly, "When the traitor Li Chenggui was in power, he had already begun to suppress the aristocratic families and check their land and population. Now I invite the emperor's grandson to continue this."

"Divide the land of aristocratic families among the people and state their crimes, and you will surely win the support of the people! After eradicating the evil of the aristocratic families, there are also temples, old nobles and other property mines. Once they are collected and returned to the central government, it will also benefit the people.

.”

"There is no need for the Ming Dynasty to kill the big families of the old aristocratic families. Your Highness has won over the small families in Goryeo, the poor students, etc., and promised to use them with great importance and give them power. They will attack the big families of the old aristocratic families. Your Highness only needs to sit behind the scenes and watch them fight.

.”

"Use those who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty as swords to kill all the old Goryeo people. Not only kill the old ministers, old nobles, aristocratic families, etc., but also kill all the Goryeo royal family, including the Wang and Li surnames, completely letting Goryeo get rid of the old national conditions!"

Join a gang, fight a gang, and watch them kill each other. There are countless examples of this in history. It is the most effective and simplest method for a ruler.

"If Your Highness conducts imperial examinations and builds schools in Goryeo, the students from poor families in Goryeo will surely be united. Then he will give kindness to the people, lighten the corvee, and implement the strategy of making the Ming Dynasty prosperous. In a few years, Goryeo will become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be inseparable from generation to generation.

also!"

"If you add more enfeoffments, you will get twice the result with half the effort!" Zhu Yunxi added, thought for a while, and said calmly, "Go down and wait outside."

Cui Minzhe was slightly disappointed. He was a smart man and an ambitious man. He risked his life to seek an audience this time just to win the appreciation of the emperor's grandson. But now it seems that the emperor's grandson's attitude is not what he thought.

That way.

But he didn't dare to say anything. After kowtowing heavily, he knelt and left.

"This man is quite a talent!" After he went out, Zhu Yunxi smiled at everyone, "He has some knowledge!"

"I also think that this person has some insights and can be a good sword!" Lan Yu said with a smile, "But since His Highness appreciates him, why not reward him!"

"A favor should not be given lightly!" Zhu Yunxi showed a bit of a bad smile, "Besides, before giving the dog a bone, you must make the dog sit down and be obedient!"

"Your Highness is a saint!" the ministers praised with a smile.

In their hearts, these Goryeo ministers were no different from dogs.

"Grandpa Huang has long ago promised me arbitrary power, and I have the final say in the affairs of Goryeo!" Zhu Yunxi turned to Fu Youde and said, "I will return to the court in the next few days to discuss with Grandpa Huang the future affairs of Goryeo. In Seoul,

On the other side, we need the Duke of Ying to lead troops and sit in command."

"I will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses to temporarily serve as the governor of Seoul. Tang He, the Duke of Xin, will lead 15,000 people to guard Shuzhou. The fourteenth uncle of the King of Liao will leave 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Pyongyang."

There are still some places throughout Goryeo that have not yet surrendered and need troops. And such a big place cannot be garrisoned by one person with hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Remember!" Zhu Yunxi said sternly, "Korea is now the land of the Ming Dynasty. We can no longer indulge our soldiers, burn, kill, loot, and rape women."

"I obey the decree!" After Fu Youde finished speaking, he paused slightly and said, "What about the political affairs of Goryeo?"

"Goryeo has surrendered, and some of the available people have been left to you alone to form a temporary provincial political participation team. They only have the right to make suggestions, but no power to handle, let alone military power!" Zhu Yunxi said, "That Cui Minzhe is left to you.

Become a member of the army and help your counselor with advice!" As he spoke, his voice turned cold, "Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is so powerful that no one dares to make a mistake, and if you are disobedient, you don't need to ask for an order, just kill him!"

"I'll do my best, but I'm just a warrior, and my brainpower is all about murder and arson. I hope your Majesty and His Highness will make an early decision on the matter of governing the people and send capable officials here!" Fu Youde said with a smile.

Li Jinglong, who had been silent at this time, suddenly said, "Your Highness, since Goryeo has become the land of the Ming Dynasty, can we no longer use the name Goryeo? How about you give me one by Your Highness?"

"The name Goryeo is indeed inappropriate! Goryeo, Goryeo, is tall and magnificent, hum! The country is not big, but the tone is not small!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and thought for a moment, "From now on, it will be called Ming Dynasty and Liaobei Province!"

The ministers praised, "Your Highness's benevolence is a blessing to the people of northern Liaoning!"

"It's okay, just leave! After so many days of work, let's go out and have fun!" Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, "Lanyu!"

"I'm here!" Lan Yu bowed her head.

"You can take any property in the palace, as long as it doesn't contain dragons and phoenixes! Besides!" Zhu Yunxi said with a narrow smile, "The traitor Li Chenggui has many beauties, so don't try to take advantage of his wife. After all,

She is also the mother of a nation.”

Lan Yu was suddenly embarrassed, and everyone around him laughed maliciously. No wonder Zhu Yunxi made a special confession, he had such a criminal record before. If he hadn't raped the wife of Emperor Meng Yuan, he wouldn't have had so many crimes.

guilt.

"My lord, you have passed that age a long time ago!" Lan Yu blushed, "You won't be like this!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved his hands, but when everyone was leaving, he spoke again, "King Yan stays!"

Zhu Di paused and slowly stood up.

With only their uncle and nephew left in the house, Zhu Di wondered what Zhu Yunxi was going to say.

"Sit!" Zhu Yunxi raised his hand and asked Zhu Di to sit down.

Then, he actually filled a glass of wine for Zhu Di himself, with an extremely gentle look on his face, which made Zhu Di a little frightened for a moment.

"I've been fighting for more than a month, and I haven't had a good drink with my fourth uncle yet, chatting about home affairs!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "I just mentioned the enfeoffment, does your fourth uncle feel some criticism?"

Zhu Di said firmly, "I don't dare!"

"Actually, I had already secretly submitted the matters concerning the aftermath of Goryeo, the construction of the province, the establishment of the imperial examination, and the inventory of farmland to Grandpa Huang. At this time, the emperor had already made a decision."

This is the truth. Zhu Yunxi always takes one step at a time and considers three steps when doing things. The establishment of Liaobei Province and other matters cannot be decided in three or five days. He has long written to the old man to explain his attitude and state the pros and cons.

"But I didn't tell the old man about the enfeoffment!"

Zhu Dixin sneered, "If you dare to say that, the old man will have you whipped! Do you think he is annoyed when his children and grandchildren are sent to this bitter and cold place?"

"Fourth uncle, you are the first to know!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "I can not say it in front of you, or even pretend that I have not thought about it. After returning to Beijing, I will just ask Grandpa Huang to issue the imperial decree. At that time

, you are the one who was caught off guard!"

Zhu Di was suddenly shocked, "What does he mean?"

Then Zhu Yunxi said again, "The reason why I tell you in front of you is, firstly, that you and my uncle and nephew are close to each other in this war, and I don't want to hide it from you. Secondly, I respect you, so I tell you what I think in front of you.

Third, I don’t want to be the insidious villain you call me in your heart!”

"Separation of feudal vassals is a national policy. I am not doing it to reduce the vassal state, let alone to cause trouble for you!"

Zhu Di was dumbfounded for a moment. He never expected that Zhu Yunxi would directly put these issues on the stage.

"I don't dare!"

"You, my uncle and my nephew, are you still telling lies?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "To be honest, you are not a threat in my heart. I respect you and use your heart far more than I want to weaken your heart!"

As he said that, Zhu Yunxi looked into Zhu Di's eyes and said, "It's your heart that always sees loneliness as a threat!"

"I don't dare!" Zhu Di quickly stood up and apologized.

Zhu Yunxi's words made all the hairs on his body stand up.

"What you think is your business. I can't explain everything to you. Now I am the king and you are the minister. This time, for the sake of your success in conquering Goryeo, I can explain a few words to you to comfort you.

You... But what about next time? Do you think that no matter what you do in the future, you will have to explain it to you, Prince Yan?"

Zhu Di was instantly sweating like rain.

"Go ahead! Today's events and today's words are all up to you! What happens in the future is up to you to figure out! Don't worry, people don't hurt tigers, but tigers do harm to people!"

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank, but never looked at Zhu Di again.

Zhu Di's back was soaked with cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.
