After the morning court, Zhu Yuanzhang never relaxed his brows.
He found that when he mentioned the Japanese state, many ministers in the court had strong objections.
No one even thinks that the current appearance of Japanese pirates is a sign of imminent large-scale invasion of coastal areas.
This is mainly because in the past two years, the Japanese banditry has calmed down too much, and we have become somewhat lax in our preparedness.
In fact, if it weren't for Da Sun's reminder, even if he saw the information about the Japanese pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang would not think much about it, or even ignore it.
After leaving the back door of Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was going to Huagai Hall to change his clothes.
Zhu Yunwen followed directly.
"Grandpa Huang, when I was reviewing memorials recently, my grandson still had a lot of things he didn't understand. I would like to ask Grandpa Huang for advice."
Zhu Yunwen bowed and said respectfully.
This was his initiative under Huang Zicheng's suggestion.
Recently, the emperor's grandfather paid less attention to him than even the eldest son of the prince.
The day before yesterday, Wang's eldest son, the Crown Prince, and others were asked to go to the capital to check the defense, but there were no arrangements for him.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he thought for a moment and guessed what his grandson Zhu Yunwen was thinking.
A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
After the eldest grandson appeared, he no longer thought about making Zhu Yunwen the grandson.
Regardless of legal or other aspects, it is obvious that Da Sun is more suitable than Yun Wen.
It was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to just let his eldest grandson remain in power and continue to bear the status of a merchant, without caring about him.
If this is the case, I won't know how to face the big girl after I go down.
It's just that the identity of the grandson should not be made public now. There is too little evidence and it may easily cause chaos in the court.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly: "Let me ask you, what do you think about the Japanese pirate banditry along the coast that I just mentioned in the court?"
Zhu Yunwen was surprised and happy when he heard this.
He was surprised that he didn't know how to reply, but he was happy that Grandpa Huang finally took the exam for him again.
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Yunwen decided to take the safe route and replied: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson believes that there are a large number of troops stationed along the coast. Even if there are a few Japanese pirates, they cannot compete with the Ming Dynasty."
"Now that sporadic Japanese pirates appear, we won't make a fuss and just let the soldiers and civilians defend themselves safely."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while.
This statement was the mainstream in the court, and Zhu Yuanzhang would not think that his grandson's idea was wrong.
After all, we need more information about Da Sun.
Although he mentioned the current situation of Japan in the court, the small country was rarely taken seriously by the courtiers.
"Then what do you think should be done if the Japanese pirates are to be eradicated?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.
This question was obviously a big one. Zhu Yunwen was thoughtful after hearing this and didn't say anything for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang quietly waited for Zhu Yunwen's reply.
After a long time, Zhu Yunwen said: "The Japanese country is just a small country. We, the heavenly country, should tame it with etiquette, show kindness through tribute, and let it be influenced."
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, his expression was calm and he did not answer immediately.
The countermeasure mentioned by Zhu Yunwen is also the mainstream in the court now.
If the Japanese pirates are difficult to fight, they can only solve the problem by paying tribute just like other small countries.
Not only can we maintain the face of our country, but we can also maintain relations between the two countries.
Although there is no term for economic sanctions yet, in fact the embodiment of tribute trade is the means of economic sanctions.
For example, Annan's tribute this year was directly rejected by the Ming government. That's it.
This is also the wisdom of our ancestors.
It seems that there is no profit for the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, stabilizing the relationship with the border areas and recuperating internally are the biggest benefits.
"Go back and study hard, ask Huang Zicheng for advice, and don't slack off, especially how to govern the place, you know."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not comment on whether Zhu Yunwen was right or wrong, but gave other instructions.
"Yes, my grandson understands."
Zhu Yunwen felt a little uneasy. He didn't know whether the countermeasures he had just taken were in Grandpa Huang's heart.
Grandpa Huang's face showed no signs of calming down, so he couldn't judge, so he could only go back and ask Huang Zicheng for advice.
After Zhu Yunwen left, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Huagai Hall to change clothes.
"Your Majesty, Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, has come to see you." Liu He, the accompanying eunuch, reported.
"He came very quickly, let him wait outside." Zhu Yuanzhang, who was changing clothes, said casually.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu He replied respectfully.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was almost dressed.
Jiang Wei came in and saw the maids and eunuchs around him. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there was news about Zhu Ying last night."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he happened to have finished changing his clothes at this time, so he waved his hand to ask the palace maids and eunuchs to leave.
After everyone left, Jiang Yu reported:
"Your Majesty, the former Jin Yiwei has already found out the information about His Highness Changsun."
"His Royal Highness Changsun's adoptive father did have a son. After our investigation, we found that this son died of a cold infection while on a business trip eleven years ago."
"We have found four business friends of His Highness Changsun's adoptive father. One of them has a close relationship with His Highness Changsun's adoptive father. He also knows clearly about the adoption of His Highness Changsun.
"After interrogation, the adoption was confirmed and the place where His Highness Changsun's adoptive father and his son were buried was found."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said with some excitement: "We knew that this little bastard has grown up now and has strong wings. Even his grandfather deceived him."
"Today we have to ask him carefully what he thinks. He even wants to hide this little thing from us."
After Jiang Wei waited for His Majesty to finish speaking, he added hesitantly: "Your Majesty, our people followed the clues and found a burial place, but His Highness Changsun's adoptive father indeed only has one biological son."
"This place was found based on clues found in the village and then followed the clues."
Reported by Jiang Weihui.
Jin Yiwei investigated in two groups. One group investigated Zhu Ying's adoptive father's friendship, and then arrested them all for interrogation.
The other group passed some traces in the village and then continued to conduct inspections.
However, evidence was found in both places that Zhu Ying was an adopted son, and two graves were also found.
Obviously, someone is committing fraud to confuse the public.
On the contrary, Jiang Wei felt that all of a sudden, this matter was about to come to light, and it became a little confusing again.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he did not immediately reply.
He frowned slightly and began to think deeply.
Not long after, Jiang Wei only heard a cold snort from His Majesty.
"You are such a fourth child, but you still want to play the trick of changing a civet cat for a prince with me. You really think that I am too old to be blind."
"Oh, it's true, it's false, it's false, it's true. Maybe even the fourth child didn't think of it. He thought it was a fake, but he didn't expect it to be real. What a filial fourth child!"
Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking coldly, and then sighed:
"God has treated us well! This is how we use the fourth child's hand to bring our eldest grandson to us."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed.
"I really want to know if this little bastard, Fourth, knew that Zhu Ying was really his eldest nephew."
