The death of the second concubine of King Qin did not cause much disturbance to the capital.
Many princes knew the news and just laughed it off.
Especially Zhu Fan and Zhu Di are relatively close in age.
In fact, everyone knows these things.
Just don’t say it.
Who doesn’t have some bad things in their house?
Zhu Gaochi was a little embarrassed. He originally planned to go to Xu Mansion in the morning, but when he went to the palace in the morning.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered them, the princes, to inspect the defense of the Five-City Army and Horse Department in the capital today.
Xu Mansion.
Xu Miaojin is still looking forward to it, waiting for her nephew Zhu Gaochi to take her out to play.
I don’t know, I probably have to cancel it today.
"Why haven't you come yet? Have you forgotten me?"
Looking at the sky, Xu Miaojin muttered unhappily.
...
The second floor of the teahouse.
Today is the day when the old man comes.
This time Zhu Ying prepared a lot of breakfast.
There are seven or eight things before and after.
First of all, it is to thank the old man for his help.
Secondly, I want to disclose the situation in the coastal areas to His Majesty through the old man.
Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived as promised.
Coming once every three days seems to have become a tacit agreement between the grandfather and grandson.
"You've done so many tricks today. Why, is there something you want to ask of us?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang came up, he saw a table of breakfast and asked with a smile.
"Old man, what you said is right. Isn't it just to thank you for helping me such a big favor before?" Zhu Ying did not shy away and said directly.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
If I had known that I was trying to help you with such a small favor, I would have broken our jade pendant, and there is nothing I can do to help.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew clearly that even if his eldest grandson went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
Just because of this portrait that is very similar to that of the eldest brother Zhu Biao, it is impossible for him to be made trouble by the second eldest brother Zhu Chong.
It's a pity that the jade pendant is a pity.
Thinking of the jade pendant, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look a little melancholy.
"What's wrong, old man? Why do I see that you look unhappy?"
Zhu Ying was a little confused. Could it be that breakfast was not to his liking?
No, the old man has eaten most of the breakfasts.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Ying understood and explained with a smile: "Old man, don't look at the variety of breakfast dishes here, but the quantity is actually not big."
"Just the two of us will definitely be able to finish it without wasting it. Maybe there won't be enough after finishing it."
Zhu Ying thought that the old man felt that he was a little extravagant and wasteful.
After all, Zhu Ying could tell from the clothes the old man was wearing.
With so many patches, you can tell from one glance that he is a very thrifty person.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying suddenly remembered her grandfather in her previous life.
The family conditions in the previous life were not bad, but my grandfather was always so frugal and reluctant to spend an extra penny.
Even if you spend a little money occasionally, it is for the sake of your children and grandchildren.
Suddenly, Zhu Ying became somewhat affectionate towards the old man.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Ying's words, he knew that he had misunderstood.
However, he didn't intend to correct himself. He walked to the table and sat down, saying, "It's okay as long as we know how you feel, but we both have to fill our stomachs first."
Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite and started eating directly.
For his eldest grandson, he couldn't bear to go hungry.
Zhu Ying nodded and started eating together.
Eat without talking, sleep without talking.
After the grandfather and grandson finished eating in silence, they started chatting.
"Old man, I got a piece of news yesterday from overseas merchants. There may be big news in Japan."
Zhu Ying said.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "We know that you hate those Japanese pirates very much, and naturally we do too."
"It's just that now is the time when the Ming Dynasty needs to recuperate and recuperate. To start a war rashly will not only waste people and money, but also be detrimental to the stability of the Ming Dynasty."
"We know you want to say that there is a lot of money in the Japanese country, but you can't eat the money. Even if you have more money, you have to think about whether it is worth conquering the Japanese country."
After hearing the old man's words, Zhu Ying knew that she had misunderstood.
Perhaps Zhu Ying's speech was more radical due to the influence of his previous life when it came to the Japanese country.
The meaning revealed in the words gave the old man the feeling of always wanting to go to Japan.
This made the old man misunderstand.
Zhu Ying did not hesitate and explained: "It is not about conquering the Japanese country. The old man may not know much about the Japanese country."
"The war in Japan is now over. According to reliable information, the defeated people in Japan have organized a lot of troops."
"They are now preparing to cross the East China Sea and invade our Ming border."
"I hope the old man can report this matter to His Majesty and take precautions early to avoid excessive losses along the coast."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "Da Sun's words may be confirmed."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Of course I can be sure, and the current situation is very tense. It was already more than a month ago when the news came."
"If we don't prepare quickly, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Message delivery in ancient times was slow.
According to the news from a month ago, the Japanese side may have been almost ready.
Nowadays, it takes nearly two months to sail from Japan to Daming.
From a time perspective, it seems to be quite sufficient.
However, the Ming army also needs preparation time, and it cannot be moved just by saying it.
Besides, we don’t know where the Japanese pirates came from, so the number of troops required is quite large.
The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.
A battle may take a long time to prepare. The current marching speed of the Ming Dynasty's army is only about forty miles per day.
Although troops are mobilized from the coastal areas, it still requires a long enough preparation time.
Usually Japanese pirates are like this. With the help of internal agents, they just grab and run away, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
That's why Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a sea ban, which was a little better.
Seeing that the old man was deep in thought, Zhu Ying couldn't help but said again: "This matter concerns the coast of the Ming Dynasty. I would like to ask the old man to explain the interests to His Majesty, so that the people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty will not suffer disaster."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses.
If it was a matter of mobilizing the army, Zhu Yuanzhang would still have to investigate it if it were someone else.
But since Dasun said this, he naturally believed it.
After talking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Dasun, how do you think we should face this Japanese pirate attack?"
After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he added: "Tell us your thoughts, and we will report them to His Majesty when the time comes."
When Zhu Ying heard this, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes and he said:
"The biggest reason why Japanese pirates are constantly being suppressed is that smuggling merchants not only unite with Japanese pirates and inform them, but even pretend to be Japanese pirates and carry out Japanese pirates' deeds. It is really abominable."
"Therefore, I think the first thing to deal with is the smuggling merchants. Only by completely eradicating them can the problem of Japanese pirates be fundamentally solved."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "We also know what you are talking about. The key is that these smuggling merchants are hidden among the people and are difficult to completely eradicate. Their whereabouts are unknown."
When Zhu Ying heard this, he immediately replied: "I know, as long as your majesty is determined to destroy them, I can help your majesty."
