Chapter 1694 North Korea's replacement of the prince's preparatory formula
"Yes, I have forgotten. You can ask the emperor directly." Yun Yun smiled and said: "I have forgotten. Min'er, if you asked the truth, you must remember to send someone to tell aunt."
"My nephew must tell my aunt." Min'er nodded in agreement, turned around and left Princess Changshan's Mansion. She got on the carriage and rushed back to the palace.
"I've met daddy. My daughter wants to say hello to daddy." After getting off the carriage, Min'er ran back to Kunning Palace as fast as she could. She stood in front of the palace door and took a breath. When the servant said that Yun had already arrived, Min'er said again
After adjusting his clothes, he walked into the hall and saluted Yun and said.
"Why are you coming back so late today?" Yun glanced sideways and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Didn't I tell you to come back before Youshizheng? What time is it now?"
Hearing Yun's words, the young maids in the palace who had just entered the palace secretly looked at Min'er. Although they had entered the palace not long ago, they were deeply impressed by Min'er's wanton behavior. Apart from their father, the two princes Wen Qi and Wen Yin were most afraid of Min'er.
It is the eldest princess. At this moment, they are all thinking in their hearts: 'I don't know how Her Royal Highness the Princess will argue or act coquettishly with His Majesty.'
"My daughter is indeed a little late, please let her father punish her." But contrary to their expectations, Min'er admitted her mistake honestly. However, the maids who had been in the palace for a little longer were not surprised by this. Although the eldest princess usually does things
He was a bit public, but when he grew up, he always showed his father an image of someone who knew his mistakes and could correct them.
"That's all, you're only less than a quarter of an hour late. Remember to be earlier next time." Yun didn't punish her much, just said this.
"Yes, father." Min'er agreed, sat down at the dining table, and saluted her mother. But when Wenyuan and others were about to greet her, she didn't even pick up her chopsticks, so she couldn't wait to ask her father: "
Dad, did North Korea really depose the crown prince? What on earth is going on?"
"What? Zhu was deposed?" After hearing the eldest sister's words, Wen Qi immediately said in surprise, and a few grains of rice spurted out of his mouth. Wen Yuan, Wen Yin and others were also very surprised.
"This matter has reached your ears? Where did you hear it from?" Yun was stunned for a moment after hearing what his eldest daughter said.
"Didn't my daughter go to the third aunt's house this afternoon? She stayed at the third aunt's house until the evening. When she was about to come back, the third uncle came back. Because the third uncle had sent someone to tell the third aunt in the afternoon that he would not come to have dinner in the evening.
So the third aunt was a little surprised to see my uncle come back at this time, so she asked why, and the third uncle told her about it."
Min'er explained a few words, and then immediately said: "Dad, has North Korea really deposed the crown prince?"
"Why are you so concerned about this matter? Do you have any interest in Zhu?" Yun asked him indifferently.
"Husband, please don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Before Min'er could speak, Xiyao said first, and couldn't help but glance sideways at the palace maid next to her. In this era of very strict etiquette, even the royal princess was relatively
Women from ordinary families don't have any privileges. If this word gets out and Min'er doesn't marry Zhu, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future. "Fortunately, they are all old people in the palace, they know the rules and don't talk nonsense."
'
Min'er didn't care, her face didn't even turn red, and she replied: "My daughter has no interest in Zhu. I just thought that he had met this man a few times and he was a good man. I heard that he might be abolished, and I wanted to know if
It’s true. Moreover, my daughter also knows that although the Joseon Kingdom is not a vassal state, deposing the eldest son is also very important, so she came to ask her father.”
"Dad, is North Korea really going to depose Zhu?" Wen Qi asked again. He had a good relationship with Zhu and was more concerned about it than Min'er. Although Wen Yuan was not close to Zhu, he understood this better.
No matter how important the matter was, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and looked at Yun very seriously, wanting to know the details.
"Since you are all so concerned, I will tell you the details." Seeing several children staring at him with bright eyes, Yun also put down the bowls and chopsticks and talked about this matter.
"It would not be wrong to say that Zhu Fangyuan wanted to abolish Zhu's crown prince position; but Zhu Fangyuan did not directly abolish his crown prince position. After all, the Ming Dynasty adopted the eldest son inheritance system, and his father inherited as a legitimate grandson.
Zhu Fangyuan did not dare to openly disobey Datong. Therefore, he adopted other methods."
"What other method was used? What method?" Wen Qi asked.
"Do you still remember the third prince Zhu who came to the capital to pay homage the year before last?" Yun did not immediately answer Wen Qi's question, but asked instead.
"Of course I remember." Min'er replied: "A young man who likes reading very much, likes reading more than his second brother, and has a good relationship with his second brother. Father, the king of North Korea wants to make him the crown prince?"
"Zhu loves to read and never let go of books. If that's all, it's fine, but he is indeed very smart and quick-thinking. Although he is three years younger, he is more experienced in political affairs than Zhu. It seems that he is indeed more suitable to be the king of a country than Zhu. Zhu Fangyuan
It's completely normal to like him more." Yun said.
"But he is not the eldest son." Wen Qi said immediately: "My father often taught us that the system, or rules, is more important than employing people. No matter the chaos in the late Western Han Dynasty or even Wang Mang's usurpation of power, or the chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, or
Or the chaos in the Western Jin Dynasty, it was all because of the chaos of the rules that led to such chaos. So even if Zhu is indeed more suitable to be king than Zhu, he cannot violate the rules and appoint someone else." As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Wen Wen.
Yuan. His father didn't like Wen Yuan's sex too much. Everyone in the palace knew about it, and even some ministers outside the palace knew about it. However, no one had ever thought of replacing Wen Yuan as the crown prince because Yun had always insisted on the eldest son inheritance system.
After hearing this, an unnatural expression appeared on Ke Yun's face, but it passed quickly, and he said: "Wen Qi is right, rules are more important than employing people. But Zhu Fangyuan obviously doesn't think so. Zhu Fangyuan originally thought
Zhu Chenggui’s fifth son, although Zhu Chenggui’s eldest son died young, there are three legitimate sons before Zhu Fangyuan, and he will not inherit the throne this time.”
"But Zhu Chenggui himself wanted to violate the inheritance of the eldest son and tried to establish his youngest son as the heir apparent. This led several of his former queen's legitimate sons to unite to launch a coup, overthrow Zhu Chenggui and put him under house arrest. By this time, the rules had been completely broken, and he wanted to
The only people who can rely on to inherit the throne are generals. Therefore, among Zhu Chenggui's disciples, Zhu Fangyuan, who has the most soldiers and is also the best at leading troops in war, inherits the throne. Since Zhu Fangyuan himself does not inherit the throne according to the eldest son inheritance system, he naturally does not care about this.
I am very concerned about it and want to choose Zhu, who I think is most suitable to be the king of a country, as the crown prince and inherit the throne."
"But in view of the Ming Dynasty's system, Zhu Fangyuan did not dare to violate it openly, so his plan was to let Zhu pretend to be ill, or even pretend to be terminally ill, and 'actively' refuse the position of prince to Zhu Fangyuan. Since Zhu currently has no heirs, his younger brother will
It was natural for him to be granted the title of Crown Prince. Zhu also came to the capital to meet him the year before last. His father was very satisfied with Zhu Ye at that time. Zhu Fangyuan probably thought that his father would also prefer Zhu to inherit the throne as the Crown Prince of Joseon and would not pay much attention to this matter.
"
"No wonder Zhu did not come to Beijing to see the emperor on New Year's Eve last year. Moreover, when the envoys who went to North Korea this year returned, they all said that Zhu was ill, and the illness was unclear. It turned out to be this reason. But my father didn't specially send an imperial doctor to North Korea to treat Zhu.
Diagnosis and treatment? Even the imperial doctor concealed it?" Wen Yin suddenly realized, but asked doubtfully.
"Does Zhu Fangyuan think that Ming Dynasty won't see what he did?" Wen Qi said angrily: "It would be fine if it was a vassal country with a high sky and a distant emperor. It would be very difficult for Ming Dynasty to get news about the country, and the news often came through
The time has come when the rice is cooked, and it is unreasonable for the Ming Dynasty to start a war again; but North Korea is so close to the Ming Dynasty, and he still thinks he can hide it!"
"He didn't think he could cross the sky and the sea, but he almost succeeded in crossing the sky." Yun said with a bitter smile: "If Zhu's cronies hadn't secretly escaped from North Korea and went to the capital to report to the Jinyi Guards, my father would not have known about it until now.
Based on the inside story of this matter, maybe when North Korea sends an envoy to ask for permission to change the crown prince in a few days, my father will allow it."
"But since dad already knows, he won't let North Korea hide it." Min'er said, "Dad, how do you plan to deal with North Korea?"
"Father, we have to deal with North Korea severely and deal with Zhu Fangyuan!" Wen Qi said immediately: "As a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea not only wanted to violate the inheritance of the eldest son, but also tried to deceive his father. His crime was serious. He must be severely punished.
Let him learn a lesson and never dare to do such a thing again."
"Dad, North Korea should indeed be punished." Wen Yin also said: "As the third brother said, North Korea has made two mistakes, and both are very serious mistakes and must be punished. However, after all, North Korea is an external vassal of the Ming Dynasty, not an internal vassal.
, the handling should still be cautious." Wen Yuan also expressed his opinion that North Korea should be dealt with.
"Yes, North Korea must be severely punished!" Min'er also said. But looking at her expression, it seemed that she only said this because Wen Qi suggested severe punishment. She didn't care much about how to deal with North Korea. Wen Yin even felt that the eldest sister was talking.
There was a sense of excitement in his tone, and he seemed to find it interesting to deal with North Korea.
"Indeed, Wen Yin is right in saying that North Korea should be dealt with with caution. This matter must be carefully evaluated before making a decision." Yun said with a cautious look on his face.
"However, this matter will not be dealt with immediately, and you are not allowed to spread the matter outside or tell others. All the ministers in the court who know about the matter, my father, have told them not to spread the matter, and I will send someone to tell them after a while.
Your third aunt, tell her not to tell others." Yun warned again.
"Dad, why is this so?" Min'er asked in confusion.
"Because this matter has not happened yet. Now only Zhu Fangyuan, the North Korean envoy, is sick, and it is said that he is very ill. North Korea has not sent an envoy to the capital to ask for the replacement of the crown prince, so my father used this as an excuse to give Zhu Fangyuan an order? How could Zhu Fangyuan
Will he admit that he had such a plan? The words of a single Zhu confidant cannot be used as convincing testimony, and the various vassals will also find it baffling."
"Did my father plan to wait until Chosun sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty before making the matter public, and also sent imperial doctors with more sophisticated medical skills to Seoul to diagnose and treat Zhu, expose Chosun's lies, and then deal with it?" Wen Qi asked.
"No, my father will allow North Korea to replace the crown prince. After Zhu Fangyuan officially deposes Zhu Crown Prince and makes Zhu the crown prince, he will pretend that he has just learned the details of the matter, and then deal with North Korea." Yun said.
"Father, why is this so?" Wen Yuan was very puzzled. Logically speaking, as long as North Korea sent an envoy to ask for permission to change the crown prince, Zhu Fangyuan's intention to replace Zhu as crown prince with Zhu Fangyuan would have been obvious, and there was no need to wait until he was deposed.
.Moreover, if you approve a wrong thing and then expose it, it will harm the reputation of the Emperor of Heaven. There is absolutely no need to do this.
"Because as a father, I not only have to deal with North Korea, but also tell all the vassal/fan countries that the Ming Dynasty implements the eldest son inheritance, and there is absolutely no possibility of changing it. I will never make mistakes for the sake of being a father and for the sake of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Admit your wrongdoing. This will frighten all countries, not just this one thing, but all things. You will not dare to deceive your father! You must also remember in the future that you must not admit your wrongdoing in a daze just for your own sake.
Yun said, staring at the children very seriously.
"Yes, father, my son/daughter understands." Several children and others hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, we've finished talking about this, hurry up and eat." Yun said with a smile at this time.
"Yes, eat quickly. The food is almost cold. Husband, you should wait until after eating before discussing this matter with the children. You should not let the food get cold before eating. Do you want to let it go?
Do you want me to warm up?" Xiyao said.
"There is no need to reheat the dishes. These dishes were brought late, and the room was very warm. It is not cold yet, so there is no need to reheat the dishes. Next time, I will definitely remember to tell the children what to do after dinner."
Things." Yun said as he picked up the vegetables and started eating.
After hearing the conversation between their parents, Miner and others realized that they had not eaten dinner yet. At this time, they felt hungry and quickly picked up the bowls and chopsticks to start eating.
Not long after the family finished eating, Yun stood up and walked around the house a few times, then sat down again to teach his sons a few words. They are not too young anymore, and in a few years they will be retired or start working.
Yun would teach them when he had time. Wenyuan and others hurriedly picked up paper and pen and waited for their father's teaching.
But at this moment, a young eunuch walked in and whispered beside Yun: "The official family, Lifanyuan reported that an envoy from North Korea was on an envoy to the Ming Dynasty and had just arrived in Shanghai."
"Oh." Yun said softly without saying much. Min'er didn't hear what the eunuch said, but she felt that her father's expression suddenly became different.
