After Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian met, they naturally became concerned about each other's health.
And when Zhu Youxiao asked how Zhu Youjian was doing recently, Zhu Youjian said: "My brother, my heart has not been working as well as before. I am easily out of breath and have unbearable colic. But thanks to your majesty's great blessing, I have given you a good health." After taking the life-saving medicine nitroglycerin, it was very effective and I didn’t leave this world because of it.”
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "That's good. At this age, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems are more fragile."
"What your Majesty said is that I still want to live to see the day when Ming Dynasty really unifies the world."
Zhu Youjian laughed as he spoke.
"Yes! Now our Ming army is overwhelmingly powerful in America, unstoppable, and can unify the world without any doubt."
Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile.
Zhu Youjian nodded and said: "I also saw it in the newspaper. I heard that the Kingdom of Goryeo has been completely destroyed, Li Yin has committed suicide, and the leader of Goryeo, Xu Shanlie, and more than 300 Goryeo ministers have been captured. Now only Ying , France, and Japan. Perhaps England will be the second to be destroyed next. They were surrounded by our Ming army and were already unable to move. "
As Zhu Youjian said, the Ming army is indeed launching a general offensive against England's ruled areas.
The Kingdom of Koryo was indeed destroyed.
The entire South America and Central America have become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The leader Xu Shanlie was indeed escorted back to Beijing, and because he was suspected of arresting Han people and helping Ogiwara Shigehide and others to torture and kill Han people, he was specially approved by Zhu Youxiao to be treated as a special war criminal and given the most severe punishment. .
"Please have mercy! Please have mercy! I didn't expect this. They forced me. Internally, it was our Majesty who forced me to arrest them. Externally, it was Britain, France and Japan who forced me to hand over the captured Han people. Give it to them! I really don’t dare and I don’t want to torture and kill the people of the higher country. Please ask Kou Mingjian, the chief minister of the upper country!”
Xu Shanyeol now completely lost the arrogance of being the head of the largest plutocratic noble family in Goryeo. He could only keep kowtowing to Yang Tinglin, the Minister of Punishment of the Ming Dynasty, and begging to be forgiven.
But Yang Tinglin had already received the imperial decree, so how could he be treated lightly? After going through the process, he was sentenced to death and his organs were taken as medical specimens.
Xu Shanyeol fainted immediately after hearing the result of his trial.
And when he was executed, he naturally screamed again and again.
After Zhu Youxiao received reports of the execution of war criminals such as Xu Shanlie, he shared it with Zhu Youjian.
After Zhu Youjian looked at it, he said: "It's really satisfying. Only you, the emperor, can make these lawless people of the foreign country severely punished. And because of meeting you, we, the people of the Han family, truly feel like the people of the foreign country."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "You are getting older and more sophisticated, and you are also becoming more flattering."
"Brother I am not flattering, I am sincere."
Zhu Youjian said: "By the way, I have something I need to tell my brother."
"you say."
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
Zhu Youjian therefore said: "The descendants of the clans who were entrusted in Nanyang sent a letter to my brother before, saying that if your Majesty comes to Manila, can you invite them to come to Manila to see His Majesty? He said that everyone has been away from China for a long time and has long wanted to see it. Tianyan, even if I end up under Jiuquan in the future, I will have no regrets."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "It's rare that they are still thinking about me. Since I'm here, and it's easier for them to come here to see me than to go to the capital to see me, then let them come! How many retinues each clan can bring is determined by Du Yinxi, Zhu Hezhen, and Qiao Ke can discuss it and decide."
As for Zhu Youxiao, he also wants to meet these clan members now.
Because the Ming Dynasty has developed to this day, many clan members have also made a lot of contributions.
But in general, the clan is still regarded as a privileged class in the Ming Dynasty, a class that has gained a lot of benefits just because of its royal blood. Therefore, the clan is still resented by people at the time, and many of the clan's children themselves are still somewhat arrogant. They are crazy, but they don’t pay much attention to the feelings of the nation.
Otherwise, there would never have been cases in which some clan lords behaved indiscriminately between Han and Hu, or even clan members like Zhu Changxun were beheaded by the emperor's eldest son Zhu Ciwei.
"Sure enough, His Majesty is willing to meet us. This is undoubtedly an opportunity."
After Zhu Qiugui, a vassal of the Jin Dynasty, received the order from Zhu Youzheng's clan descendants in Nanyang to go to Manila to meet the saint, he started talking to his father Zhu Minchun about this.
After hearing this, Zhu Minchun said: "Yes, as the King of Brunei expected, His Majesty is willing to see us, then everything will be done according to the King of Brunei's plan, you leave immediately!"
"Okay, Father."
Zhu Qiugui replied.
"Since His Majesty is willing to see us, let's have a good talk with His Majesty first. We don't have to be embarrassed unless we have to. After all, we are all members of our own family."
After receiving the decree, Zhu Cunshu, who was named the King of Brunei, said: "Send the order, I will get up and go to Manila!"
Therefore, in the following days, many clan members from all over Southeast Asia arrived in Manila in order to meet the emperor Zhu Youxiao.
About a month later, when all the clan children who could come came, Zhu Youxiao began to issue orders to receive these clan children.
On this day, when all the descendants of the clan who came to Manila arrived in front of Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao looked at the gathering of clan kings and said with a smile: "Sure enough, my descendants of the Zhu family will live forever! You are now sealed How does it feel to be in these places overseas? There is no supervision from imperial officials, and you are not restricted to a city. You still have the power to rule. Isn't it much more comfortable than when you were restricted to the capital city before? "
"What your Majesty said is that thanks to His Majesty's grace, the Ming Dynasty has become as prosperous as it is today, and we have the opportunity to entrust various places."
Zhu Gongzhen from the King of Zhou clan replied at this time.
Zhu Youxiao smiled because of this: "It's good to be grateful!"
But at this time, Zhu Qiugui stood up and said suddenly: "The kindness of our ancestors and the kindness of your majesty must be remembered! But if I talk about my feelings, I always feel that since the imperial court has allowed me and other clan members to guard the same place, they should be kind to us. Real trust, rather than sending people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the Ministry of Rites, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to watch like a thief! After all, we are all members of the clan, and we are all members of our own family. Is it possible for anyone to want to create something of their own?"
"That's right!"
After Zhu Huakui of the Chu royal family glanced at Zhu Cunshu, King of Brunei, he replied next and stood up and asked: "Your Majesty must know about the eldest son of the emperor who killed King Ningxi. From my perspective, Ningxi No matter how you say it, the King of the West is still his imperial uncle, but he killed him so brazenly, with such disregard for the family, and no respect for his elders, etiquette and filial piety, do you really not want to take care of him?"
"The eldest son of the emperor did something wrong indeed. Among the sects and sects in the world, who wouldn't feel chilled after knowing this? After all, he is one of his own family members. There is no reason to point a knife at one's own family members."
Zhu Zhizhi of the Shu King clan also started talking.
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but said at this time: "I think you are not here to meet the saint, but rather to raise an army to punish the guilty!"
Zhu Youjian said and asked: "What do you want to do?"
