Zhao Pang's words undoubtedly showed his surrender. After hearing this, all the civil and military officials nodded slightly to show their approval.
Of course, only Zhu Yuanzhang was able to make the final decision. This matter had been discussed by Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites as early as two days ago. Among the two country names finally selected, one was "Hening" and the other was "Hening". "Korea".
The name of the country has its own reasons and origins. After Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he put a stroke under the word "North Korea", which meant that Goryeo was officially renamed North Korea.
Although it has been decided in private, it still needs to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty when the envoys meet, so that the word "North Korea" can be used. Otherwise, Goryeo will always be Goryeo.
Fatty Zhao and Han Shangzhi knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. The disdainful looks around them made them feel on pins and needles, as if their whole bodies were being seen through.
Especially the eyes of His Majesty the Ming Emperor were filled with an indifferent sense of aggression, as if they were looking at the humblest ants. Both of them were frightened and sweating profusely.
Recalling that during Xin Yu's reign, he had killed envoys from the Ming Dynasty in order to support Bei Yuan, they both felt a chill on their backs, as if a butcher's knife was about to fall on their heads.
The waiting time was extremely unbearable, but fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang said soon: "The name Dongyi is only praised by North Korea, and it comes from a long distance, so it can be named after its ancestors. Titian herdsmen, descendants of Yongchang."
When these words came to light, Fatty Zhao and Han Shangzhi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and a big stone fell to the ground.
The two of them were so excited that they knelt down and worshiped again, saying: "I thank His Majesty the Ming Emperor for his holy grace, long live long live."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, narrowed his eyes slightly. He was already prepared for the ups and downs of the country's fate.
Unexpectedly, until now, there has been no change in the national destiny. The addition of an additional country is like adding an extra hair, and it has not brought any changes to the national destiny.
This was really beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectation. Logically speaking, with one more vassal country paying tribute, the national destiny should be much stronger. This means that the Ming Dynasty's status in the world is more respected.
But the fate of the country has not changed now, which means that Goryeo's surrender is not sincere, or that Goryeo has not brought any benefits to the Ming Dynasty now and in the future.
Co-author: I took in a useless young man today. Not only did I not get any benefits, but I also got an extra guy to protect.
Zhu Yuanzhang has never been a loser since he began to practice Taoism. This time the fate of the country was untroubled, which made him think more carefully.
Although he wants to change the fate of the country, it does not mean that he hates the fate of the country.
To put it clearly, his attitude is that the national destiny can be there, but it cannot be in him.
Now that his work was in vain, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally unhappy. He had paid but received no reward. Who could withstand this? Do you really think he was taken advantage of?
Under the gaze of everyone, he naturally couldn't say anything. After he retired from the court, he said to Zhu Di: "Di'er, what do you think of Goryeo?"
Zhu Di followed Zhu Yuanzhang and listened to his father's question. He thought for a moment and said: "Fan and small countries often have two minds. They know small etiquette but no great righteousness."
Obviously, Zhu Di looked down upon these barbarians. If given the chance, he really wanted to put them directly under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
However, my father has always warned that for this small country, it is worthless and will only harm the country's strength, so as long as they surrender, they can let it go.
Zhu Di was not sure what his father meant for a while. He didn't know whether it was a test or an inquiry, so he spoke vaguely and did not reveal his true thoughts.
Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang could not hide this kind of performance. He knew that Zhu Di still had some scruples, so he did not dare to reveal his true feelings. He said, "If we ask you to conquer Goryeo, what will you do?"
Zhu Di was directly frightened by this question. Conquer Goryeo? What is Dad trying to do by asking this question?
He was puzzled. Could it be that his father had changed his temper, or that he didn't like Goryeo?
For a moment, Zhu Di didn't dare to say anything casually. He hesitated for a long time, but still didn't have an answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Go back and think about it carefully."
"Yes, I am resigning!"
After Zhu Di left, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Wuying Hall, tapping his fingers on the table, thinking about handing over the fate of the country.
The lack of fluctuations in the national destiny just now attracted his attention. Judging from some explorations during these times, the national destiny generally does not have too many fluctuations.
Only when events that affect the entire Ming Dynasty occur, will the national fortunes fluctuate, either growing or declining. In short, it can be roughly understood as the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
If the national fortune is strong, the national fortune will be extended; if the national fortune is declining, the national fortune will be reduced.
In a sense, it can be seen as the difference between healthy and sick people.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang considered whether he could control the transfer of national destiny by guiding the occurrence of events.
If the Hongwu algorithm was not proposed by him but by Zhu Di, would the national destiny flow more into Zhu Di's body?
This idea is extremely tempting. If it is really feasible, then he will have more ways to change the fate of the country.
It only takes one or two years to suppress the national destiny to a very low level, and finally get rid of the influence of the national destiny through surrender.
This idea came from what he had read through history books these days.
Emperors with great reputations throughout the ages all possessed extraordinary courage and wisdom. Because of them, the dynasty's reign was greatly extended.
Guozuo is a concrete manifestation of the national destiny. Zhu Yuanzhang logically came to the above conclusion by studying the kings of the prosperous times and the masters of the ZTE in the history books.
Although I don’t know if it is correct, but with a little guidance, I can be sure!
Since the return of the seven-point national fortune last night, Zhu Yuanzhang has become more urgent. With the degree of decay of his aging body, he may not be able to withstand unexpected surprises from his descendants.
In this case, it is best to complete the handover of the state affairs as soon as possible so that he can embark on the path of spiritual Buddhism and be free and at ease.
What he said to Zhu Di just now was a very clear hint that he was guiding Zhu Di to make new decisions.
"I hope this successor will not disappoint me."
He was looking forward to Zhu Di's response. He believed that as long as Zhu Di didn't have a mental problem, he would probably be able to understand.
In fact, after Zhu Di returned to the East Palace, he made this matter clear to monk Tong Daoyan.
There was still some doubt in his heart, and he asked: "I do feel doubtful. My father suddenly asked me what I thought about Korea today. This is something I have never seen before. Old monk, do you think this is a temptation from the old man?"
Daoyan clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and called out to the Infinite Heavenly Lord, as if to inform the gods, and then said: "His Highness's doubts are also my doubts. I remember that your majesty's attitude towards the surrounding countries has always been... Caution is the priority. Your Highness has also said that your Majesty has warned the kings all year round not to have the intention of conquest, but now that he takes the initiative to bring it up, it may not be a test of His Highness."
"What the old man did was really strange. I was suspicious and didn't dare to answer. I couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking for a while."
Zhu Di was very helpless. He was warlike himself and had no objection to the conquest. However, as the prince, if he talked too much about the conquest, he might arouse criticism.
Coupled with his father's previous attitude, he did not dare to express his position easily and could only speak vaguely. Now Monk Daoyan seems to be confused, making him even less confident.
After being silent for a long time, Monk Dao Yan's closed eyes slowly opened. It was obvious that the brainstorm was over.
He sighed quietly: "Your Highness, if I guessed correctly, Your Majesty's move was not a test, but the Goryeo angered His Majesty, so he had the words of conquest."
"Provoked? When?"
Zhu Di was confused and scratched his head. He felt that things were getting more and more troublesome. Before he could decide the time, Ma He's urgent voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess and all the royal grandchildren have arrived."
