What he said was to tell Zhu Ying that as an emperor, he did not have to be bound by laws. In his opinion, Wu Zhou's actions seemed to be upholding the so-called king's laws, but in fact he was putting himself in front of the king.
below the law.
What is Wangfa?
Zhu Yuanzhang told his grandson: What we say is the king's law!
"My grandson understands." Zhu Ying nodded slightly and replied.
At this moment, he truly understood what the emperor's power was.
"The eldest grandson has now been declared the great grandson. According to the usual practice, he will be the master of the East Palace. I don't know what the eldest grandson thinks."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
The concepts of announcement and canonization are similar. Basically, it has been decided.
Like the previous Zhu Yunwen, after Zhu Yuanzhang's announcement, he was already called His Highness Taisun, and there was only one canonization ceremony left.
The same is true for Zhu Ying now.
Nowadays, officials or other people can have three titles for Zhu Ying: His Highness Changsun, His Highness Taisun, and His Highness King Yu.
These titles are also particular.
For example, on the royal side, you can call him His Highness Changsun.
If you are an official, you need to address yourself as His Highness Taisun.
Ordinary people can use the title of His Highness King Yu.
When Zhu Ying heard the news that it was from the East Palace, he pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said, "Grandpa, my grandson lives quite comfortably here in Kunning Palace. I have never been to Chunhe Palace."
"I heard from grandpa that my grandson also grew up in Kunning Palace when he was young, so he wanted to live here."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "That's fine. This way our grandfather and grandson are close to each other. Since the eldest grandson likes it, we can just live like this."
Since the identity of Zhu Ying at Chaohui was announced.
In addition to causing a relatively big commotion in the court, it seems that as far as the entire capital is concerned, there is no discount event that is so memorable.
It seems that the life in the palace has not changed significantly because of the addition of Zhu Ying.
For Zhu Ying, the biggest difference is that he has an extra seal in his hand.
This is the Prince's Seal, which can also be called Taisun's Seal, which means Crown Prince.
The power of the prince's seal is basically given by the emperor. The more power it opens, the more power it will have.
In all dynasties and generations, the prince's seal is not famous, its symbolic meaning far exceeds its actual function, and it basically has no jurisdiction over anything.
But for Zhu Ying, this seal is almost equivalent to half the Ming emperor.
In other words, basically all official documents and approvals now stamped with Zhu Ying's crown prince's seal can take effect immediately.
Even civil and military officials below the third rank have the power to directly appoint and remove officials.
Putting aside the three ministers and three orphans, Zhu Ying, such as the six ministers and the left and right ministers, could not immediately appoint or remove them, but the others below had the power to directly decide.
Of course, if Zhu Yingzhen took away the minister or killed him, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have reprimanded him at most. If there was a reason for the incident, even if there was only a small reason, then it would be nothing.
"Grandpa is going to directly add a burden to me."
Zhu Ying played with the seal and said helplessly.
He was already very clear about the meaning conveyed by the old man, which was for him to form his own small team now.
And formally announcing his identity in the court will help him get close to civil servants, or in other words, attract civil servants.
It is very difficult for officials to seek refuge with Taisun, and the most important thing among them is connections.
Without connections, they were not even qualified to see the grandson. How could they have any chance to display their talents and be valued by the grandson.
It's just that Zhu Ying is not very interested in civil servants, especially in domestic affairs.
In terms of internal affairs, the biggest problem for Ming Dynasty at present is food, clothing and land.
Most domestic affairs basically revolve around these two.
Only when these two problems are significantly alleviated can we do something else.
Regardless of whether it is economics, education, culture, legal education, etc., talking about these things with a hungry old man named Bai is nonsense and has no meaning.
It was almost dinner time, and Ye Yueqing returned to Kunning Palace.
For Ye Yueqing, she is now roughly equivalent to the status of a female official, but Zhu Ying has never given him any actual official position.
Now when I walk around the palace, I still carry his badge.
Although he has no official position, anyone with a discerning eye knows that no one dares to offend Ye Yueqing in the future.
"Your Highness, as of three o'clock today, the goods of all participating stores in the capital have been completely sold out, and there is no one left."
"And about half of the people in the capital city have not yet purchased it. Now many people are still gathering outside the store, complaining and dissatisfied."
"Almost everyone currently hopes that such an event can happen again."
Ye Yueqing said slowly.
After listening, Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
This was his test of Ming Dynasty's business.
He found that the business in the Ming Dynasty was very different from the business outside the Ming Dynasty.
Business in the Ming Dynasty is the main consumer group. In the mid-to-high-end segment, they are mainly landlords, nobles and other large households.
For example, many landowners can almost achieve the concept of self-sufficiency.
What does it mean.
In other words, they don't like to spend the money they get, but dig a cellar at home and hide it.
Because of natural disasters, almost all landowners have the habit of stockpiling grain.
The family has been storing a large amount of food and money.
Except for some simple daily needs, there is basically no desire to shop.
The essence of commodities lies in circulation.
Only when everyone uses their money can business prosper.
So what Zhu Ying needs to do now is to stimulate the market economy.
In this regard, discounts are the best way.
It is natural to be greedy for petty gains, so Zhu Ying was not surprised by the current situation.
"Next, we can buy products from all over the Ming Dynasty and sell them. The positioning is still as I said before, and the target must be clear."
"Now that the capital has achieved success, the same strategy can definitely be used in other places."
"Especially in the Susong area, you can do it more times."
Speaking of this, Zhu Ying sighed.
Money is really needed everywhere.
Although he can directly ask the old man to get it, or even directly ask the treasure banknote collection company to print a large number of treasure banknotes.
But this is undoubtedly killing the goose that lays the goose, which will only cause the Ming Dynasty's banknotes to depreciate faster.
What Zhu Ying is doing now is, in a sense, repurchasing treasure banknotes.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued an edict to the Bao Chao Ti Ji Department and began to restrict the printing of Bao Chao Ti Ji Department.
When the treasure banknotes on the market begin to become scarce, the value of the treasure banknotes can be increased and there will be no flooding.
It sounds a little funny.
When Zhu Ying received these treasure notes, he immediately destroyed them instead of storing them.
Of course, only the profit part is destroyed.
This is equivalent to wiping the old man's butt.
Just when Zhu Yingda was engaged in business activities.
Goryeo Yao Guangxiao's side has already begun preparations to enter Tsushima Island.
"National Master, it's only been more than a month now. Didn't it mean that we will officially attack Tsushima in two months? Why is it suddenly brought forward? Brothers are not ready yet."
Wei Guang couldn't help but ask.
At the meeting just now, Yao Guangxiao proposed to dispatch 80,000 troops as the vanguard force to march directly to Tsushima in three days.
Of course, the reason why the number is 80,000 troops is because all the current ships combined can only carry 80,000 people.
The reason Wei Guang raised the question was because a lot of food was still on the way and was being continuously collected into the army.
Seeing that the logistical support was gradually stabilized, the National Army was about to go to war directly.
"Soldiers are deceitful. You can't really live two months when the poor monk said it would be two months."
"Now the poor monk has received news that a large number of Japanese pirates are gathering towards Tsushima Island. At this time, the enemy's military camp is naturally in chaos."
"And attacking Tsushima at this time can have the effect of encircling the point and calling for reinforcements even when the offensive is unfavorable."
Yao Guangxiao explained slowly.
Hearing this, Wei Guang wanted to speak, but after looking at the other generals around him, he remained silent in the end.
In terms of words, there is absolutely no problem with Yao Guangxiao's statement.
However, in practice, there are big differences.
The first is the food supply for the 80,000-strong army. According to the current intentions of the Imperial Guard, there is no plan to replenish the ships transporting food.
This means that the army can only carry about ten days of rations at most, so it has to fight Tsushima, and it can only be a quick battle.
If it is delayed, it may collapse on its own without waiting for the enemy to attack.
Secondly, although there are many armies now, most of the soldiers are actually landlubbers.
Let’s put seasickness aside, most people are not accustomed to water.
Recently, all generals have been asking their soldiers to conduct maritime combat training in order to adapt to this combat situation in advance.
Due to the limited number of ships, the maritime training of 70% of the soldiers has not yet achieved results and they have to catch up.
This made Wei Guang a little worried.
Although the other Goryeo generals did not speak, many of them were a little dissatisfied.
It felt like a monk like Yao Guangxiao was a little unconvinced when he gave them military command.
Yao Guangxiao looked at this scene and said indifferently: "According to the information sent by Xiaozuo, there are only about 5,000 households in Tsushima Island. This time, there are only more than 20,000 people stationed in the Japanese country."
"I'm waiting for 80,000 people to fight against 20,000 people. This is a battle without any suspense. Perhaps in many aspects, the time is not ripe for the generals to do it."
"But everyone should know that Japanese pirates are constantly gathering now. If we wait too long, we will be harassed by Japanese pirates on a larger scale."
"Japanese pirates who are good at naval warfare may cause more losses."
After hearing the explanation of the National Preceptor, many generals looked at each other and felt that it made sense.
Finally, he agreed, and after the meeting dispersed, he immediately began to mobilize the army and prepare for the attack.
Wei Guang did not leave at the end.
After everyone had left, he smiled bitterly and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Master, is this too cruel?"
Wei Guang has completely understood Yao Guangxiao's thoughts.
Yao Guangxiao did not treat the Korean soldiers as human beings at all, and did not even care about the casualties caused and fought forcefully.
You must know that among the current nearly eighteen armies, not even half of them are capable of fighting.
The others are basically field soldiers, and their weapons and armaments are very backward.
Especially in a sea battle, it was obvious that Yao Guangxiao was going to risk his life.
"General Wei misunderstood. The poor monk is a monk, so naturally he will not take such measures as to waste his life. But for now, we can no longer give the Japanese side too much preparation time."
"General Wei must also have heard about the current situation in the Japanese country. It is equivalent to the situation at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which was waiting to be abolished."
"At this juncture, the sooner we set out, the faster we can drag the Japanese country into the quagmire of war."
"Under such circumstances, when our army of the Ming Dynasty marches into Japan after the spring of next year, the resistance it will encounter will be greatly reduced."
Yao Guangxiao's words echoed in Wei Guang's ears.
After Wei Guang heard this, he no longer had the intention to refute.
When it comes to the Ming Dynasty, no matter what price Goryeo pays, it is worth it.
The reason why Wei Guang has such thoughts is because he has gradually begun to integrate into the life of Korea during the years he has lived in Korea.
In terms of appearance, there is no difference between the people of Goryeo and the people of Ming Dynasty.
That's why Wei Guang said such words.
Looking at Wei Guang's leaving figure, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but say: "Obviously he is a general who has accomplished countless feats, but he still has a heart like a Bodhisattva. It's a bit interesting."
"Among the soldiers of His Highness Changsun and other members, they all seem to have similar thoughts to Wei Guang."
"Is this because of the influence of His Highness Changsun?"
Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly.
Such details are difficult for ordinary people to spot, but for Yao Guangxiao, who is good at studying people's hearts, they are like candlelight in the dark, very eye-catching.
Especially for all the core members who follow His Highness Changsun, this characteristic is even more obvious.
It is a habit for the army to kill innocent people indiscriminately and seize food.
But including the generals headed by Wei Guang, they can be said to be truly benevolent and righteous teachers towards the people.
"Perhaps, only His Highness, the eldest grandson, is worthy of everyone's following."
"It's just that His Highness Changsun's subordinates can't all be like this. There are always some dirty things that need someone to do."
"The poor monk doesn't care about this!"
Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but sigh.
From the beginning, while Yao Guangxiao was conquering Japan, he was also preparing to consume a large amount of Goryeo's troops.
Only under such circumstances will it become much easier to turn Goryeo into a part of the Ming Dynasty.
He needs to be the result, as for the process, it doesn't matter anymore.
Three days later,
Along the coast, hundreds of large and small ships set off carrying a mighty 80,000-strong army.
Among this group of personnel, 99% were Goryeo generals and soldiers.
