The next day.
After the morning court meeting, 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 an imminent large-scale invasion of the coast.
This is mainly because the Japanese banditry has calmed down too much in the past two years, and we have become somewhat lax in our preparedness.
In fact, if it hadn't been for Da Sun's reminder, Zhu Yuanzhang himself would not have thought too much or even ignored the information about the Japanese pirates.
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 the 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, Grandpa Huang paid less attention to him than even those eldest sons and princes.
The day before yesterday, Wang's eldest son, Shizi, 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 bear the status of a businessman without any regard.
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 in it, which may easily lead to turmoil 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 our Ming Dynasty."
"Now that sporadic Japanese pirates appear, don't make a fuss. Just let the soldiers and civilians defend themselves safely."
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, Da Sun needs more information.
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.
When 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.
This is also the wisdom of our ancestors.
It seems that there is no profit for 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. 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 had reached 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 the Huagai Hall to change clothes.
"Your Majesty, Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, has come to see you." Liu He, the eunuch who served with him, 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 information 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 Jinyi Guards have 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, and 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 excitedly: "We knew that this little bastard has grown up now, his wings have become stronger, and he even deceived his grandfather."
"We need to ask him carefully today what he really 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."
Jiang Weihui reports.
Jinyiwei investigated in two groups. One group investigated Zhu Ying's adoptive father's close relationship, and then arrested them all for interrogation.
The other group passed through 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 reply immediately.
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, and 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."
"Haha, true and false, false and true, probably even the fourth child didn't expect 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."
"I must be very happy. Hahaha!"
