"I will never allow the queen to be treated like this!" Zhu said loudly: "How can the royal family be equal to the people? How can a crime that can be considered treason be placed on the people and be placed on the royal family? According to the "Da Ming Law", rebellion requires three barbarians.
clan, but if the prince rebels, how can he barbarize the three clans?"
After hearing Zhu's words, Zhu Yun's expression became ugly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He then loudly said to Zhu: "Although you are the king of Korea, you are also a minister of His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, and you must also abide by the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty"
.Don’t forget that when you inherited the throne, it was His Majesty’s will to confer the title of Concubine Wang Zheng. Since His Majesty can confer the title, it can also be abolished. What’s more, it is already a waste of time for the Concubine Wang Zheng to be thrown into the cold palace or sentenced to death after deposing her position as the concubine.
The prince and concubine are relieved of their guilt."
"No! We must not deal with her like this!" Zhu still shouted.
Zhu Yun resisted the idea of arguing with him and said to him: "You have no say in how to deal with her. You have to obey His Majesty's will. If you are dissatisfied with my ideas, you can write to His Majesty." After that,
He turned around and left here, leaving Zhu shouting loudly.
Zhu Fangyuan soon heard about Jin Moyu's treatment, and said to Zhu: "The Ming Dynasty deliberately humiliated our Li family and lowered our family's authority in the eyes of the Yangban people in North Korea, making it more difficult for our family to control North Korea, and we can only rely more on
Daming. I am also very dissatisfied with this, but it is really impossible. In order to keep the throne, I can only agree. As for the future, I can only rely on future generations."
But Zhu shook his head after hearing his words. "Father, I have a hunch that this matter must not be that simple. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty's intention is not only to reduce the authority of our family, but also to make it more difficult to control North Korea."
"Then what do you think the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was thinking?" Zhu Fangyuan asked.
"I can't guess everything. But if she is deposed as queen, who will the successor queen be? From which family?"
…
…
"Your Majesty,..., the memorial jointly signed by the King of England and His Royal Highness King Yong has arrived. In addition, the King of Korea also has a memorial to address to Your Majesty." In the Qianqing Palace, a governor of the General Administration Department bowed and stood in front of His Majesty, holding the memorial in both hands.
"I know, let's put it down." Yun said, and the governor bowed again, placed the memorial on the imperial table, turned around and left.
Yun picked out the memorial jointly signed by the two princes and Zhu's memorial. He opened Zhu's and glanced at it briefly, put it down with a sneer, picked up the pen and wrote a sentence, then closed it and put it aside. Then he picked up the joint memorial and
Looked at it carefully.
He looked at it for a long time, and from time to time he picked up a pencil and scratched it gently. After a full two-quarters of an hour, he put down the memorial.
"Go to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and Lifanyuan, tell Li Jinglong and Chen Cheng that they are coming to Qianqing Palace in the late afternoon, and also ask the prince to come." Yun told Lu Yi.
"Yes, official." Lu Yi agreed, turned around and left.
Yun continued to criticize the memorial for a while, but his heart could not calm down. After a few criticisms, he would turn to look at the time. When he saw that it was noon, he immediately put down his pen, stood up, and left Qianqing Palace.
He walked all the way to Kunning Palace. Xiyao welcomed him into the palace and asked: "Husband, why are you back at this time today?" Although it was already noon, Yun usually would be a little later than now, so today
How come my son came so early?
"There is something important that I want to tell you first. Anyway, it doesn't matter if the memorials are approved earlier or later," Yun said.
"What's the matter?" Xiyao suddenly said nervously. What's the important thing to talk to her about? 'Could it be that we want to choose the crown princess? Or choose Min'er's husband?'
"Look, among the unmarried clan girls in Beijing, which one is resolute, decisive, and good at judging the situation? It would be best if they are of the same generation as Wenyuan." Yun asked.
"Why do you ask this, husband?" Xiyao was stunned for a moment and asked.
"My husband must choose a royal concubine for Zhu," Yun said.
"Zhu? But the Zhu? of North Korea? Hasn't he already become the king of North Korea? And he already has a royal concubine."
"He will soon have no royal concubine, because my husband wants to abolish his royal concubine."
"Husband, why is this? And what is the reason for abolishing her position as the concubine?"
"Do you still remember that a document was sent to the capital from North Korea, requesting me to send troops to North Korea to calm down the disaster and restore order?" Seeing Xiyao nodding, Yun continued: "If this document was sent by someone from Zhu, then
It’s nothing; if Zhu Fangyuan sent someone to send it, that’s all. But this document was forged by Wang Zhengfei in collaboration with her natal brother, stamped with a big seal, and sent to the capital. This is a big sin. According to the law, it is enough to abolish her title of Wang Zhengfei.
Bit."
Yun first explained the reasons for abolishing Jin Moyu's position as the royal concubine, and then explained why she did so. "The reason why my husband abolished her position as the royal concubine was to choose a girl from the clan to be Zhu's royal concubine.
The reason is to control North Korea."
Yunxian explained the purpose and reason of his previous actions, and continued: "You also know that if they directly abolish the throne of their family, choose a royal prince as the king of North Korea, or appoint a minister to have full power to handle North Korea's state affairs, then it will be a loss for the husband.
The intention is too obvious and will arouse suspicion and fear in various countries, which is not a good thing. But by marrying a royal concubine and having the royal concubine take care of the government, it will not worry other countries. After all, Meng Yuan once married seven princesses.
As far as Goryeo, there was a queen regent from Mongolia, and it was common for various countries to marry each other, and it would not cause any trouble."
"In order to cooperate with the regency of Wang Zhengfei, while sending troops into North Korea this time, my husband will leave thousands of people to form an army in the name of dowry, as the trusted followers of Wang Zhengfei. The families of these soldiers will also be relocated.
When they arrived in North Korea, they were not allowed to intermarry with North Koreans. They could only intermarry internally or with the people of the Liaodong Dusi Guard Office. The husband would also take this opportunity to adjust the court, and those who were willing to obey the orders of the Wang Zhengfei would be promoted. Those who were not willing to
Those who obeyed were reprimanded, and even those who found fault were punished and exiled to the northwest of the Ming Dynasty."
"When Concubine Wang Zheng gives birth to a son for Zhu, she will give him medicine to make Zhu sick. Whether it makes him unable to move or speak, in short, it will make him unable to handle government affairs. In this way, Concubine Wang Zheng can legitimately listen to the government behind the curtain.
.At the same time, the husband also wants Wenyuan to recognize Zhu's son as his adopted son and officially grant him the status of the Ming Dynasty clan. Although he cannot be brought to the capital to be educated together with the prince, he must be surrounded by gentlemen who are all great scholars sent by the Ming Dynasty.
, accept the same teaching as the prince."
"After that, I will find various reasons to deal with the original Korean royal family. It will not be good if most of them are executed. It is best to exile them to Liaodong. Later in Liaodong, I ordered the Liaodong Governor to exile them to the northwest for various reasons.
Southwest, or Hanzhou Continent. In this way, only the Zhu branch of the Korean royal family is left. Under the influence of their mother, they are close to the Ming Dynasty. Within the second or third generation, they will be the same as the Ming Dynasty clan. After a few generations
After that, if the king of Korea dies, he can arrange for the Ming Dynasty clan to pass over and inherit the throne." Facing Xiyao, Yun fully stated his arrangements for Korea.
At the same time, Yun also felt much more comfortable. People always have the desire to talk. Yun couldn't express his feelings to others, but when he finally confessed to his wife, he finally felt more comfortable.
"It turned out to be like this." Xiyao said. Before, Yun had talked about what he wanted to do to North Korea in front of her, but it was only half-hearted and not true. This time, after listening to her husband's words, she knew what Yun's revenge was against North Korea.
What kind of thoughts.
"Husband, there are probably no young and unmarried clan girls in Beijing who meet my husband's requirements." After a while, Xiyao talked about what Yun originally asked him. "There are only a few clan girls in Beijing now.
None of them met the requirements of a husband. One of them was barely able to use it, but she was from the Huo generation, one generation older than Wenyuan. Moreover, she was much older than Zhu, being nine years younger.
"
"That's it." Yun said in a low voice. It would be better if he was the same generation as Wenyuan. It would not be appropriate to be one generation older than Wenyuan. And he didn't want to be too far apart in age. "Is there really no one who meets the requirements for a husband?
"He asked again.
Xiyao shook her head. "Husband, it is true that there is not."
"What about the people who are barely close? The same generation as Wenyuan." Yun said again.
"Husband, I am a woman after all, and I have never managed government affairs. I am afraid that I will not be able to choose someone suitable to go to North Korea to attend the government. Why don't you, my husband, have some free time in a few days, and summon them together with me, so that I can see them in person?
.They are all girls from the clan, so it doesn’t matter if your husband just takes a look at them." Xiyao said.
"That's fine." Yun said, "I'll summon them this afternoon, and Shen Shichu will ask them to come to Kunning Palace."
Yun took a nap at noon and went to Qianqing Palace in the afternoon to summon Li Jinglong, Chen Cheng and the prince Wenyuan who was temporarily acting in charge of Fanyuan. He said to Li Jinglong: "I have decided to marry Zhu after deposing the current Wang Zhengfei of North Korea.
She is the concubine. Since it is a marriage, she cannot do without a dowry. I will leave thousands of soldiers and horses in North Korea as a dowry. Li Qing, the soldiers left behind will be selected by the Liaodong Governor, but the Fifth Army Governor's Office must also cooperate. If Liaodong
Whatever requirements Du Si has, they must be met."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jinglong agreed.
"Wenyuan, Chen Qing, the follow-up matters in Korea need the assistance of Lifanyuan. I will write a handwritten edict on how to do it, and you can discuss it with King Ying and King Yong in Korea." Yun also told Lifanyuan.
commanded.
"Yes, Father/Your Majesty." Wen Yuan and Chen Cheng also bowed and agreed.
Yun nodded and gave them a few more instructions to leave.
Naturally, Li Jinglong and Chen Cheng immediately bowed and left, but Wen Yuan did not leave. Instead, after they left, he said to Yun: "Father, why do you treat North Korea so harshly?" Even though Yun was thinking about Wen Yuan.
I don't understand everything, but I can see some of my father's plans.
"Is there anything wrong with what my father did?" Yun asked rhetorically.
Wen Yuan suddenly had nothing to say. Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that some things were done deliberately, Yun's actions were not in any way inconsistent with the rules, and there was no reason to question him.
"But North Korea is the first foreign drama of the Ming Dynasty after all. Doing so may have a very bad impact on other foreign dramas." Wenyuan could only say.
"No, you will know your father's will after you see it, and it will not cause bad influence in other stories."
"But..." Wen Yuan wanted to say more, but Dan Yun interrupted: "No matter how North Korea is the first foreign side of the Ming Dynasty, it is still a foreign side, not an internal side. Zhu is not your brother. You have to know that there is a difference between the inside and outside. Everything must be considered from the perspective of Ming Dynasty, not from the perspective of foreigners."
"That's all, you are still young and don't understand. You will know after you have a few more years of errands," Yun said at last. Wenyuan did not defend himself anymore, bowed and left.
"Alas." Looking at Wenyuan's back, Yun sighed.
Yun stayed in Qianqing Palace for a while and rushed to Kunning Palace. When he arrived at Kunning Palace, all the clan girls who were not too young and unmarried in the capital had already arrived, and they hurriedly saluted Yun when they saw her.
Yun nodded slightly, sat down with Xiyao, and chatted with them. But he soon became disappointed: as Xiyao said, none of these people met his requirements.
But he couldn't let them go back immediately. Yun could only hold on and chat for half an hour, and asked them to go back to class on the pretext that they still had something to do. They all felt very confused, but they didn't dare to ask, bowed and left Kunning. palace.
"Hey, as you said, none of these people are suitable." After they all left, Yun rubbed his head and said.
"Then who should be chosen as Zhu's concubine? Call the widowed princesses of each vassal to the capital?" Xiyao said.
"Have you seen all the clan girls who are about the same age as Zhu? Are there any of those who left the capital who meet the requirements for husbands?" Yun asked.
Xiyao thought about it carefully and shook her head. "Husband, no. There are some that are barely consistent, but they are a harmonious couple, so we can't force them to divorce."
"Of course we can't force a divorce. Hey, why is it so difficult to choose such a woman?" Yun couldn't help but sigh.
"Husband, what kind of woman is so difficult to choose?" Xiyi happened to come over at this time and asked after hearing this.
Yun immediately stated her request. Xiyi thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there a suitable candidate in front of me? My husband is also familiar with this person."
"Min'er will definitely not do it!" Yun said immediately. In fact, there was a suitable candidate in the palace, and that was Min'er. But how could the Yun couple want their daughter to endure such a thing? They ignored it. At this time, Yun thought that Xiyi was going to Say Min'er, interrupt immediately.
"Husband, how can I talk about Min'er?" Xiyi said with a smile: "What I'm talking about is my niece, Dai Wen."
