"My son, I thanked the Queen on behalf of Jingyun." Zhu Biao also climbed up the pole. His eyes were very hot when he saw the pastel hairpin. He could not hold back after hearing the Queen's words. Wouldn't he be stupid if he didn't agree immediately?
Zhu Biao closed the box and held it in his hands without hesitation, for fear of being noticed by others. Especially for people like Han Du, Zhu Biao knew that his eyes must be glued to this hairpin without even looking back.
Han Du saw that Zhu Biao was guarding himself as much as he was guarding against a thief, so he had no choice but to look away reluctantly.
When Queen Ma saw Zhu Biao happily accepting the hairpin, she immediately laughed and said: "I didn't expect that the second son could find such a good thing in Jiaozhi. I'm afraid he dug it out in the deep mountains and old forests. It's really hard for him." Such filial piety.”
Han Du lowered his head and grinned speechlessly. King Qin did find jade in the deep mountains and old forests, but it's hard to say how hard he worked. Anyway, no matter how hard you work, they are still people under the Prince of Qin's Palace and have nothing to do with the Prince of Qin.
Empress Ma looked up at Lao Zhu with a smile and said, "My second brother acted ridiculously in the past, which made me worry a lot. I didn't expect that now that I have gone overseas, I will become so sensible and start to miss me..."
Zhu Fan and Deng did a lot of ridiculous things, but in the end it was Lao Zhu who paid him to clean his butt. When Zhu Fan proposed to leave the vassal overseas, Lao Zhu didn't say a word to persuade him to stay. Queen Ma knew that from that moment on, Lao Zhu began to feel disgusted with Zhu Fan.
But how can there be hatred between father and son? Empress Ma is always looking for opportunities to ease the grudge between Lao Zhu and Zhu Fan. Now, Queen Ma finally found the right time.
Lao Zhu saw Queen Ma's behavior in his eyes and knew her purpose well. Although Zhu Fan knew that it was not bad to send some treasures to the palace to honor him, it was not so easy for him to forgive Zhu Xi.
Lao Zhu ignored Queen Ma's pretense of pity, looked up at Zhu Biao, and asked, "How is the second brother doing in Jiaozhi? Has he really changed his ways?"
Zhu Biao has always been more tolerant towards his younger brothers. Even when Zhu Fan did something treacherous, he still interceded for him in front of his father. Now, of course, I won’t speak ill of my second brother.
"Father, my second brother has really changed his ways now. Not only does he often regret his mistakes and reflect on himself, but now he is even more determined to make Jiaozhi completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
Lao Zhu was very suspicious and would not easily believe what others said, but he had unlimited trust in Zhu Biao. Hearing Zhu Biao praising Lao Er in this way, although Lao Zhu didn't quite believe it, his expression softened.
"Really? What does he have that I don't know yet? Can he make Jiaozhi completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty? If he has such ability, I will allow him to return to Beijing every year to visit relatives."
After the vassal king became a vassal, he was not allowed to return to the capital without an edict. Zhu Fan had made Lao Zhu very angry at the beginning, so after he left the country, no matter how far away he was, he was naturally not qualified to return to Beijing. If Lao Zhu can really allow King Qin to return to Beijing every year to visit his relatives, then this will be a great honor for Zhu Fan, an honor that even Zhu Xi and Zhu Di do not have.
But since Lao Zhu said this, it means that in Lao Zhu's heart, he did not think that Zhu Han could completely conquer Jiaozhi.
Zhu Biao was also surprised. He did not expect that his father would actually propose this reward in return. However, my father's prediction was good. If he relied solely on his second son, it would be unprecedentedly difficult to completely conquer Jiaozhi.
But... Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du sideways and sighed in his heart, hoping that Han Du's method would be recognized by his father.
Lao Zhu picked up a cup of ginseng tea and leaned back. The old man looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Let me tell you how Lao Er did it in Jiaozhi. It just so happens that I can also give him some details." 2. If he really has the ability to completely conquer Jiaozhi, I will keep my promise and allow him to return to Beijing every year."
Zhu Biao laughed, and then said: "My second brother believes that Jiaozhi has been deeply rooted in Jiaozhi for hundreds of years since it was founded. If you want to slowly conquer it, it is almost impossible."
Lao Zhu nodded slightly, he thought so too. The reason why it is considered extremely difficult to completely conquer Jiaozhi is because Jiaozhi has been established for so long that it has long been imprinted in the hearts of the people. It is almost impossible to completely surrender it to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du secretly and saw Han Du turning his face to one side, completely aloof from the incident. So Bian continued: "Therefore, if you want Jiaozhi to be integrated into the Ming Dynasty, you must first destroy its country and destroy its status in the hearts of Jiaochin people."
"How to destroy the Jiaozhi country in the hearts of Jiaozhi people?" Lao Zhu put down his tea cup in surprise and began to pay attention to Zhu Biao's words. Originally, he only thought that Zhu Biao was just trying to say good things to his second son, but until now, he had always looked at him as if he were laughing. But Zhu Biao's words suddenly shocked Lao Zhu. He seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't recall it no matter how hard he thought about it, so he had to ask Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao smiled and continued: "My second brother believes that if you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history books; if you want to destroy its history books, you should first destroy its writing. Although the Jiaozhi court also uses our Ming writing, but among the people it is There are many kinds of dialects, which are completely different from the Ming Dynasty characters. Therefore, the second brother believes that if Jiaozhi wants to completely join the Ming Dynasty, it needs to set up more county schools to teach the people to speak the Ming Dynasty dialect and understand the Ming Dynasty characters. The books have the same text, and the cars have the same track. For decades After that, the people of Jiaozhi spoke Ming dialect, wrote Ming characters, wore Ming clothes, and practiced Ming etiquette. By then, the so-called Jiaozhi country would naturally disappear and no longer exist."
"Okay! Good! Good!" Lao Zhu stood up from his chair happily and shouted three good words in succession.
Lao Zhu paced back and forth in front of Zhu Biao with his hands behind his back, his excitement beyond words. For a long time, although the Ming Dynasty captured Jiaozhi, Lao Zhu had always lacked interest in Jiaozhi. The reason is that Lao Zhu knew that foreign countries like Jiaozhi surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but they had a free and orderly way of survival in the country. Especially the common people almost only know the Jiaozhi Kingdom, but they don’t know that there is a Ming Dynasty in the world.
How easy is it to truly occupy such a place?
This is the reason why Lao Zhu does not want to attract the attention of neighboring countries. It is easy to capture, but it is too difficult to truly and completely conquer it. No matter how well the Ming Dynasty did locally and how tolerant it was to the local people, there would always be people who cherished their homeland and secretly opposed the Ming Dynasty. Once the time is right, it is the rhythm of climbing high and raising troops to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.
"If you want to destroy the country, you must first destroy its history books. If you want to destroy its history books, you must first destroy its writing. Good, good, good, this is the best strategy." Lao Zhu praised, stroking his palms.
Then he came to his senses and asked Zhu Biao with some suspicion: "Did the second brother really come up with such a good plan?"
No wonder Lao Zhu was suspicious, even Queen Ma looked at Zhu Biao with doubts on her face. The two of them knew exactly what kind of person the second child was. Although Zhu Fang is considered smart and eager to learn, he is also an expert at leading troops, no less than a first-rate general. But that's all. Ever since he became the king and became a vassal, his actions have been ridiculous. Even if he turns back as a prodigal after this incident, I'm afraid that's it. Could he still become more resourceful?
If he could become resourceful in this way, then Lao Zhu would like to let all his sons experience it, but it is obviously impossible.
Zhu Biao suddenly looked embarrassed. In front of his father, the emperor and his mother, he did not dare to lie even a word.
Seeing Zhu Biao's reaction, Lao Zhu suddenly realized something in his heart. He turned to look at Han Du who was hiding aside, frowned and asked, "Did you propose this?"
The more Lao Zhu thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. Han Du was always unscrupulous in doing things, and he was often able to hit the nail on the head. It was only natural that he could think of such a good strategy. As for the second child, it's not that Lao Zhu looks down on him. If he wants to come up with such a good strategy, he still needs at least thirty years of experience.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Han Du had no choice but to look up at Lao Zhu with a dry smile and replied in a low voice: "Although it was proposed by the minister, it depends on His Majesty the King of Qin to realize it bit by bit. I am a talkative, so I can't compare. His Royal Highness the King of Qin’s decades of hard work.”
Lao Zhu looked at Han Du with a smile on his face and nodded. The second man spent decades working hard and was able to completely conquer Jiaozhi, so he was naturally the most accomplished one. But Han Du was able to come up with such a good strategy, which is also a big contribution. But the more Han Du belittled his own achievements, the more satisfied Lao Zhu was with him. Lao Zhu liked the way Han Du was proud of himself and did not take credit.
Lao Zhu happily sat back on the chair, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and laughed loudly: "Okay, since the second brother really has a way to completely conquer Jiaozhi, then I will keep my promise and allow him to return to Beijing every year. "
"I would like to thank my father on behalf of my second brother." Zhu Biao immediately stood up happily and bowed.
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao. He was probably the only prince in the past dynasties who could truly care for his brothers sincerely.
Queen Ma had no intention of letting Lao Zhu go, and quickly asked: "Does that count as this year?"
This year? This year, there are only a few months until the New Year. Even if we send someone to notify King Qin now, he will be able to come back before the New Year at most.
To put it bluntly, Queen Ma just wanted to seize this point and take advantage of everything.
But Lao Zhu was in high spirits, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed. "This year counts. I just want to see what the second child has become."
Although both Zhu Biao and Han Du keep talking about how good Zhu Ping is now, one of them is Zhu Ping's eldest brother, and the other will only follow Zhu Biao's lead. The two people said good things about Zhu Xi, and Lao Zhu naturally had to discount the words he heard. He still wanted to see Zhu Xi with his own eyes.
Seeing that Lao Zhu agreed, in order to avoid any changes in the matter, Queen Ma immediately turned to look at Zhu Biao and asked with a smile: "Biao'er, you have been out at sea for such a long time this time, you can't just go see the second brother. You I also went to those places and had a good chat with my mother."
When Zhu Biao saw that his mother was so interested in his experience of going to sea, it was as if he had gotten a beloved toy and couldn't wait to share it with others. He spoke without hesitation and said: "Mother, in addition to visiting my second brother this time, I also made a thorough inspection of Nanyang."
