Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.
Da Sun's words surprised him a little.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's first consideration for the candidate for Peking was indeed Zhu Di. After all, Peiping was not far from the southeast coast.
As for the generals who can fight, Zhu Yuanzhang will gradually transfer them back to the capital according to the situation in the near future and arrange them to be with Dasun.
If he didn't follow his eldest grandson, he would naturally have no chance of leaving the capital.
"My grandson is not afraid that your fourth uncle will do anything to you in the future?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
The reason why Zhu Di, the fourth child, was not chosen was that Zhu Yuanzhang was of course considering this matter for his eldest grandson.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, how could such a smart eldest grandson not be able to guess the thoughts of his fourth son, Zhu Di.
Zhu Ying smiled slightly and said, "Now that my fourth uncle has spoken to me, how can I, my nephew, not agree?"
"But the East China Sea coast is too long. I'm worried that just the fourth uncle will be unable to do what he can. Yesterday I talked with the third uncle. It seems that the third uncle has some insights on maritime affairs."
"Perhaps Third Uncle will go with Fourth Uncle. I think the problem of Japanese pirates along the coast should be easier to solve."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.
What a great grandson, it turned out that he still had this idea.
The third son Zhu Fan's vassal territory was in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, and he really didn't think about letting the third son go to the coast to quell the Japanese.
However, how could Zhu Yuanzhang, the father, not know about some of the grievances between the third and fourth children.
Especially in the 23rd year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about the grievances Lao San felt.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Lao Si could be so fast and take care of the remnants of Bei Yuan without spending a single soldier.
The edict was issued by him. At that time, Prince Zhu Biao happened to inspect Taiyuan, Shanxi. As far as Zhu Yuanzhang was concerned, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were certainly not as important as his elders.
Therefore, the army led by Zhu Fan returned without encountering the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
It was precisely because of this incident that Zhu Fan was severely suppressed by Zhu Di.
Now Da Sun's idea is obviously to let the two compete again to see who is stronger and who is weaker.
"What Da Sun said is that it is really elusive where the Japanese pirates appear from. Since the third brother also wants to go, let the two brothers go together. The right way is that brothers work together, and their power is as powerful as gold."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
I feel more and more satisfied with my eldest grandson.
The so-called way of an emperor is all about balance, and Dasun was able to understand it just after being exposed to it. He was truly a born emperor.
It is indeed our seed.
Looks can be deceiving, but intelligence cannot. Who else could such a smart person be besides his own kind?
I heard that in this life of the old man, brothers are of the same mind, and their sharpness is as powerful as gold.
Zhu Ying wanted to laugh a little.
The correct situation should be that the uncle and nephew are of the same mind.
The key to coastal pirates lies in the hidden power of smugglers.
As for the number of real Japanese pirates that could cross the sea, they were wiped out as soon as the Ming Dynasty Navy arrived.
The reason why every time the suppression was unsuccessful was simply because someone tipped off the information.
Only a person can commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days.
With such a long coastline, there will always be loopholes. It’s impossible for ordinary people to just leave that empty space and not live.
As for whether King Zhu Fan of Jin and King Zhu Di of Yan went to pacify the Japanese together, who would get greater credit was completely beyond Zhu Ying's consideration.
First of all, Zhu Fan has passed by, so it is impossible for Zhu Di to help with such behavior as supporting the troops and raising the bandits to respect themselves.
Secondly, when Zhu Fan went to clear out the smuggling merchants, he would definitely get help from Zhu Ying's forces. He was already very familiar with those merchants, so he could just go directly to their lair and it would not be too troublesome.
In this way, Zhu Di could only be forced to increase the intensity of suppressing bandits, and it was difficult for him to have other thoughts.
"Grandpa, have you ever heard of Yao Guangxiao?" Zhu Ying asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, recalled it, shook his head and said: "I have never heard of the grandson mentioning this person, but what arrangements are there."
Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and explained: "He is a monk, his Dharma name is Daoyan."
The current Yao Guangxiao is not called Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao's original name was Yao Tianxi, and after he became a monk, he was named Daoyan. After Zhu Dijing failed, Yao Guangxiao was restored to his true nature and given the name Guangxiao.
It's just that the name Yao Guangxiao was so famous that Zhu Ying blurted it out all of a sudden.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the name Dao Yan, he felt it was very familiar. He recalled it carefully and then smiled and said;
"It turns out it's him. We remember this monk."
"It was still in the eighth year of Hongwu's reign. We were going to arrange some monk officials, so we asked monks who understood Confucianism to go to the Ministry of Rites for assessment."
"Speaking of this Dao Yan, we really have some impressions. In his articles, his thoughts are not pure, and most of them are related to people's livelihood."
"How can a good monk be a good monk if he doesn't do anything but only wants to be an official?"
"We just gave him a monk's robe to help him have a good life and improve his temperament."
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's first impression of Daoyan was not very good, because he asked Confucian monks to take exams at the Ministry of Rites, and the monks they were awarded were not here to manage the people.
The main purpose is still ritual sacrifice.
The monk Dao Yan is beside the point. Although Zhu Yuanzhang still appreciates him, there is no shortage of such people in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ying nodded. He knew that Yao Guangxiao had experience as an official. This was easy to check.
Later, Yao Guangxiao got his wish. In the 13th year of Hongwu's reign, he entered Tianjie Temple and sought a monk's position on the recommendation of Youjueyi Laifu, the monk Lu Si, and Shizong Lai, Youshan Shizong.
Tianjie Temple is one of the three major temples in the capital, along with Linggu Temple and Dabaoen Temple. It has jurisdiction over other secondary temples. It has the highest level and ranks first among the Ten Temples in the Five Mountains.
It was precisely because of entering Tianjie Temple that when Empress Ma died of illness in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Yao Guangxiao was qualified to accompany the kings, chant sutras and pray for blessings.
"Dasun suddenly mentioned this monk, but what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
To Zhu Yuanzhang, Yao Guangxiao was really like an ant, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
If the original article had not been well written, this person would have been forgotten long ago.
Zhu Ying smiled slightly and said, "Dao Yan later went to Peiping with his fourth uncle and has been following him ever since."
"When I was in Beiping, it was Master Dao Yan who helped introduce my fourth uncle, which can be regarded as a favor to me."
"I followed my fourth uncle from Peiping to the capital. I rode in the same carriage with Master Dao Yan. It was a bumpy ride."
"Master Daoyan is getting older now, and his body can no longer bear the bumps in his body. Thinking about it, if my fourth uncle goes to the coast to fight against Japan, Master Daoyan will have nowhere to go, so he can only accompany him."
"Master Daoyan is so old and still has to suffer from the fatigue of such carriages and horses. My grandson can't bear to see it."
"So I would like to ask grandpa for help to find Master Daoyan an official position in the temple here in the capital, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace."
After Zhu Ying finished speaking, he added with a smile: "I had a great talk with Master Dao Yan. I once heard Master Dao Yan say that his favorite thing is to read a lot of books."
"From what my grandson sees, the Sutra Pavilion must be a very good place for Master Daoyan to visit the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng and study the scriptures. I think Master Daoyan will be extremely happy."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this.
Dasun's words made him extremely happy. After laughing, he said: "Dasun is right. A good monk should do what a monk should do."
"If I remember correctly, Dao Yan must be in his sixtieth year. This Scripture Depository Pavilion is indeed an excellent place for him."
When Zhu Ying heard this, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Yao Guangxiao's thoughts are too heavy now. He should just kill him. It feels a bit pity.
In fact, if you think about Yao Guangxiao's thoughts, you can understand his ambition. If you really want to use him, you must use his spirit to kill him.
He is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is dying worthless.
Zhu Ying's move completely hit Yao Guangxiao's lifeline.
Just stay in the Sutra Pavilion and stop following King Yan around. After a year or two, his temper has been smoothed out, and Zhu Ying has taken control of the overall situation.
You can throw it overseas to use the remaining heat.
Thinking of that time, Yao Guangxiao would have no reason to refuse.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying said again: "Grandpa, Master Daoyan may not be used to it alone. My grandson thinks that a few Jinyi guards should be arranged to go over and help Master Daoyan with his daily life."
"After all, the mage is old, and it is inevitable that there will be times when his legs and feet are not in good condition."
Zhu Ying understood in her heart that with Yao Guangxiao's temperament, there was no way he could stay in the Sutra Pavilion, and he would definitely try his best to escape.
It would be appropriate to arrange for a few guards in royal robes to guard the place.
If an old man of almost sixty years old could still escape under the guard of Jin Yiwei, then Zhu Ying would have nothing to say.
Furthermore, with Yao Guangxiao's wisdom, he would not escape.
As long as a sea arrest document is required, Yao Guangxiao will have no way to escape, and even Zhu Di may not dare to take him in.
After all, his connection with Zhu Di was too close, and Zhu Di was his only place to go.
Just arrange for the Jin Yiwei to wait and wait in Peiping.
Besides Zhu Di, who else in the world can let Yao Guangxiao realize his ambition.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Ying, although he was a little confused as to why Da Sun paid such attention to a mere monk.
But he didn’t ask too much. After all, he was just a monk, and Dasun could do whatever he wanted.
After talking about everything about the two uncles, it was almost time.
"Okay, let's go back to the palace first. There are still a lot of troubles waiting for us there. Don't slack off, kid. You can't delay those memorials. They are all important affairs of the country and cannot be careless."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and explained to Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying reluctantly said yes.
Recently, he really felt like vomiting after reading the memorial.
However, Zhu Ying also understands that this is a process that must be experienced, and many things are not natural.
Matters such as reviewing memorials are actually the power of the emperor.
The emperor's orders, in the ancient social environment, were extended on memorials.
Now Zhu Ying is constantly getting used to Yawen, that is, the writing method of classical Chinese.
If you want to change the environment, you must first adapt to the environment.
