"Well, after you leave the country, my eldest brother is really beyond his reach. I can only help you this much." The prince mentioned another person and said:
"There is someone else who can definitely help you."
"Who?" Lao Liu certainly didn't mind having a lot of help.
"Old Huang, his name is Huang Qi, and he is an eunuch." The prince said, "He was the middle official in the fifth year of Hongwu who was ordered to send Chen Li, Marquis of Guide, and Marquis of Guiyi Mingsheng to Goryeo."
Chen Li, the Marquis of Guide, was the son of Chen Youliang; Mingsheng, the Marquis of Guiyi, was the son of Ming Yuzhen, the Ming Xia emperor who ruled Sichuan and Chongqing.
Moreover, these two guys have both been called emperors...
After the surrender, Boss Zhu originally placed them all in Nanjing, but the two boys suffered from the same disease as Empress Li. They were both depressed and complained from time to time.
Boss Zhu was very unhappy. We didn't sleep with your wives like Zhao Guangyi... Well, we slept with Chen Li's stepmother, but in short, I didn't feel sorry for you. I was still full of complaints about whether I wanted to follow in the footsteps of Li Yu.
ah?
However, the two brothers were luckier than Li Yu. Boss Zhu did not give them poisonous wine, but sent them far away to Korea, where they could not be seen but clean.
The attentive prince also copied his father's edict to the King of Korea and showed it to his two younger brothers.
Lao Wu Lao Liu saw that the edict with a strong personal color said:
'Today, I ordered the Ministry of Education to collect forty-eight pieces of gauze and send them to the old Yuan Dynasty envoys. I chose a sea ship and put soldiers in full armor on it to defend the sea. I sent the old and young emperors of Chen and Xia to
Go to Wangjing, do not join the army, do not work as a citizen, and live in leisurely life on your own. If the king is willing to teach you where to live, stay there; if he is not willing, he will be brought back in time. Haosheng said it carefully in the documents of the governor's family.'
"Because the father has promised them in advance, if they want to come back, they can return to the country at any time. Therefore, the old envoy of the Yuan Dynasty in the imperial edict... Huang Eunuch has always stayed there and kept in touch with the court every year." The prince explained.
Just like the officials of the Ming Dynasty were basically former ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were basically from the Yuan Dynasty. For example, Wang Ma and Eunuch Wu were both eunuchs of the royal palace in Jinling. The same goes for Eunuch Huang.
"That's it." Zhu Zhen nodded, knowing the role of the yellow eunuch.
One is to monitor the two deposed emperors at all times, and the other is to monitor the movements of Goryeo nearby so that the court can grasp the situation of this dishonest vassal in a timely manner.
"Most of what I know about Goryeo comes from Eunuch Huang." The prince said slowly: "He has expressed several times that he wants to return to China for retirement. Please bring him back this time. He will definitely help you with all his strength.
.”
"Well, this one is more reliable than that Korean Jinshi." Zhu Zhen nodded happily.
"No one will help you anymore." The prince sighed apologetically: "Our court is too far away from Goryeo and has too few contacts, so our influence is actually limited. The King of Goryeo is quite heroic. I think he has great influence on the Yuan Dynasty.
He talks sweetly but seizes the opportunity to strike more ruthlessly than anyone else. I’m afraid he may not be willing to respect our ‘Chinese orthodoxy’.”
"Well, he offended the Mongols so much that he had to turn to us." Lao Liu agreed. He was still very aware of Xiao Xiba's behavior of being "fearful of power but not ethical".
"Yes, that's what it means to be a brother." The prince nodded in approval and said:
"The King of Goryeo has completely offended the Mongols. He has eradicated all the pro-Yuan forces in his country, and there is no turning back. Now he respects the Ming Dynasty, which is really a last resort. If we ask for Tamna Island again, it will definitely arouse his strong resentment.
Conflict." As he spoke, he patted Lao Liu and said:
"I know Tamna Island belongs to us, but as you said, we can't come back by talking. We have to wait until we clean up Naha, and they will naturally return Tamna Island. So this time, don't make trouble.
Already."
"..." Zhu Zhen wanted to say, that's not necessarily the case. Brother, you underestimated Smecta's shamelessness. But the prince had already said this, and he felt like he was talking back if he refuted it. So he still
He swallowed his words, nodded and said:
"yes, Sir."
"Good brother. It's rare to find a place that you will never forget. Big brother promises that I will seal Tamluo Island to you sooner or later." Zhu Biao promised with a smile.
"Scared." Lao Wu, who had always been quiet, was startled when he heard this and said: "Brother, are you going to move Lao Liu overseas?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Biao glanced at him and said, "How can I give it up? I'm talking about extra fiefdom."
"Oh, I was scared to death." Lao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, big brother, let's high-five and make an agreement!" Zhu Zhen's expression perked up and he high-fived the prince.
He was in a very happy mood. First, the eldest brother was not as soft as he looked, but was actually domineering.
Second, he suddenly thought of 'moving overseas', which seemed to be a really good idea...
The clan of the Ming Dynasty was so fertile.
~~
It was not appropriate for the prince to appear in public at this time, so he had to watch his brothers board the huge boat from the car.
Fengzhou is a treasure ship. It is a ship for imperial envoys. Because it has the function of declaring the power of heaven and intimidating the feudal states, the whole ship is tall, majestic and magnificent.
The entire ship is fifteen feet long, two feet six feet wide, and one foot three feet deep. It has five large masts at the front and rear. The huge bow is also carved with gorgeous and complicated dragon patterns, which is intimidating.
Zhu Zhen stood on the back deck, looking up at the five tall masts and the slowly rising huge sails, and felt that he was extremely small.
It is really unimaginable that the treasure ship Zheng He sailed to the West thirty years later would be twice as big as this Fengzhou. The Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding level was definitely the best in the world in this era!
No wonder my father felt relieved and let them take the boat to Goryeo.
Such a giant ship can indeed give people a sense of security.
And in order to prevent accidents at sea, there is also a large sea ship of the same size, but not as gorgeous, setting off with Feng Zhou...
~~
Dragged by more than a dozen 'small boats', Fengzhou and its sister ships finally slowly left the dock and sailed deep into the heart of the river.
The two huge ships lowered their sails and sailed eastward with the wind and current.
Gradually, the Jiangdong gate and the family members seeing him off at the pier all disappeared into the horizon.
Everyone on the boat looked away with a sense of loss and went back to what they were supposed to be doing.
But there is also the seed of infatuation that still stands there, unwilling to look away for a long time.
For example, the fourth child.
He had only been married for less than half a month, and it was natural that he and the princess were inseparable at the moment when they were tasting the essence of each other.
"You can't bear to leave your wife?" The third child stood beside him and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you, a silly, big, black and thick boy, can be quite affectionate."
Zhu Di rolled his eyes at him and was too lazy to talk to him.
"Don't think about it. You can't jump off the boat and swim back even if you think about it." The third child joked: "When we get to Korea, I'll let you see what domestic flowers are like, but how can they be as fragrant as wild flowers?"
"Bullshit, nonsense, how can wild flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers?" The second child also looked in the direction of Nanjing City and said infatuatedly: "No, none of them are as fragrant as mine. I miss Minmin."
The third child has a black line on his forehead. Why are all of them so infatuated and appear to be so philandering...
