Seeing that his prince was interested in writing, Liu Jin, who had been standing beside him with a bow, hurried forward to spread some paper and study ink, while Zhu Biao tapped the desk with his knuckles, thinking about how to persuade him.
The war situation in the north is stalemate. If there is another war in the northeast, there will be some trouble. The Ming Dynasty is not unable to bear it. After all, Zhongshan King Xu Da is in Hejian Mansion and can mobilize troops to help Liu Yi and others to resist Naha at any time.
And if it is really necessary, it is not impossible for Zhu Biao to force Goryeo to send troops to harass Naha. After all, the Ming Dynasty occupies the right time, place and people, and cannot be competed by separatist forces in a corner.
In fact, Zhu Biao had a hunch that it was only a matter of time before Naha surrendered. Maybe he, like Lao Zhu, was in an embarrassing situation and couldn't find a suitable step to get off. He surrendered directly and felt that he had lost his lifelong reputation. …
So Zhu Biao picked up the pen and started writing. He did not tell him anything about weighing the pros and cons. Instead, he reviewed the friendship back then in the tone of Old Zhu, lightly pointed out the current connection with the Goryeo Jurchen, and finally sincerely invited Naha to come out. His son Chahan came to the capital for a visit.
After he stopped writing, Zhu Biao waved to Liu Jin to hand the letter to the Holy One for reading. As a result, Zhu didn't even want to read it and asked Liu Jin to seal it. He believed in his son's ability and didn't need to worry about this kind of thing.
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, no matter what, I will let Naha Chu go to the capital before winter next year to kneel in front of the father to apologize."
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face: "That's good. This ungrateful bastard is born in Naha. We must let him know what the rules are when the time comes."
In fact, if Naha had led the Liaodong area and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty when Liu Yi and others had not taken refuge, he would have been awarded the title of Duke based on his meritorious status, but in the current situation, he would have been a marquis.
Now compared to the future, a marquis was nothing in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. When Naha came out, he offended generals such as Tang and Xu Da...
After the business was finished, Zhu Yuanzhang said casually: "We are going to canonize Yang'er as the grandson of the emperor. What do you think? In fact, our original idea was to wait until the grandson is eight or nine years old. After all, we have to worry about the great blessings." This is true, but now it’s better to settle this situation as soon as possible.”
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said, "It's not even the 100th day yet. Let's wait until spring begins."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained unchanged: "It's not a matter of a few months, but you have to understand the truth of being constantly rebellious. The country does not tolerate personal affairs at all."
Zhu Biao leaned on the back of the chair and nodded: "Father, don't worry, my son is very sober, and he doesn't have any messy thoughts. He is a yang'er both in terms of direct descendants and elders, and I will not be vague."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. Both of his grandchildren were good, and the love and honor could be distributed fairly to them. However, only the throne had no room for swaying. Once the discussion of virtuous people was started, then the Zhu family would There will be a river of blood.
Those ambitious civil servants and generals did not care about stability in order to benefit from Conglong. If they had the slightest chance, they would shake the country and plunge the Ming Dynasty into civil strife.
According to the size of the Ming Dynasty, even if there are one or two generations of mediocre kings, the country will not be destroyed. But once it falls into internal strife, the real foundation will be destroyed.
Zhu Biao now also wants to understand that unless his boss is really a violent, perverse, stupid, incompetent and hopeless player, otherwise the second child will only be the second child after all. He doesn't need to think about the country of Ming Dynasty. At best, he can be given to him outside the country. compensate.
In fact, it is very easy. It has nothing to do with whether the second brother is willing to be convinced or not, just like the three brothers of Jin Wang Zhu Feng, Chu Wang Zhu Xi, Qi Wang Zhu Di, including the following princes.
Are they willing? Are they convinced? But do they have a solution?
No, because the authority that Lao Zhu gave them was pitiful and pitiful. It was not even considered authority. It was just the honor that a prince should have. However, Zhu Biao had great power. His disciples and former officials had generals all over the world. from.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao make their minds clear and grant authority to the eldest brother, then the second eldest brother will actually have nothing to do. Just like the three brothers who are still hoeing the ground behind Wuying Hall, the only ones they can mobilize are those incompetent friends. .
Even the second child may not be as good as the three brothers. The three brothers are lucky enough to have the support of their mother clan. The eldest and second child are both direct descendants of Chang Luohua. That is a mother clan. It is impossible for the Chang family to find trouble. There are two imperial grandchildren. Both have the blood of his Chang family, how could they have to go against fate and support the other one.
It sounds cruel to the second child, but the reality is this. After Zhu Biao's mind is determined, the victory or defeat of the two of them is actually destined, and it cannot be changed by cleverness or ambition.
Of course, Tiger Venom will not eat its children, and the second child is his legitimate son and the future Prince of Ming Dynasty. If he is really ambitious, Zhu Biao will prepare a territory for him that is broad enough and has potential. If he is content with wealth, then Zhu Biao will also properly place him in Daming.
"By the way, I also need to ask my father to issue an edict. Goryeo will send a letter of credence. I will ask the Ming Dynasty to grant Wang Zhuan a posthumous title. There are also documents requesting Wang Zhuan to be granted a title. I also need approval."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said, "Is Wang Yu the illegitimate son of Xin Min? As for the posthumous title, it can be decided directly by the Ministry of Rites, or do you have any other arrangements?"
"It was that Muninu. After the assassination of the King of Goryeo, that child was brought into the palace by the Queen Mother Myeongdeok of Goryeo. Two groups of ministers agreed on the eight characters and the Queen Mother Myeongdeok circled the character "禑". I heard that she had been canonized as Jiangning Prefecture. Your Majesty, I accept the congratulations of the officials of Goryeo."
"As for the posthumous title, my son is also ready. He is called Gongmin."
Zhu Yuanzhang recited it twice and said: "Although we don't know much about posthumous titles, Gongmin is a bad posthumous title at first sight. When Wang Zhuan took the initiative to submit to me, the Ming Dynasty, it was considered meritorious. Isn't it too much? ?”
Zhu Biao knocked on the writing case and said: "To hold a courtesy to an imperial guest is called Gong; to pay tribute to a guest is called Gong; when one is able to change it, it is called Gong; to meet one's relatives is called Gong; when one is worried about one's country, one is called Min; when one encounters one's bones in the country, one is said to be Min. When there is disaster, it is called Min, and when it makes the people sad, it is called Min.”
"Goryeo has been in turmoil in recent years, so this posthumous title cannot be said to be too much. What's more, Wang Zhuan allowed Xin Min to disrupt the government. The aristocratic family has long been dissatisfied, and his reputation among the people is average."
Zhu Biao didn't say anything else, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask any more questions. He knew that his son had his own opinions, not to mention that Lao Zhu actually didn't like Wang Zhuan, a king who liked to be ridden.
As for Wang Yu, although he was the only son of King Gongmin, because he was young and his life experience was unknown, Empress Dowager Mingde and Shi Zhongqing Fuxing planned to choose another person in the royal family to be the king, so they only named Wang Yu the King of Jiangning Prefecture. .
What Zhu Biao had to do was to cooperate with Li Renren, the king of Guangping Prefecture, to become the king as soon as possible. Li Renren was the leader of the Goryeo family and had exchanged several letters with Zhu Biao half a month ago.
His words in the letter were sincere and humble, and he seemed to listen to the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty. However, judging from Zhu Biao's many years of experience, he was a complete old fox, always loyal to the interests of the family, rather than any monarch.
But he didn't take precautions. It was a situation of mutual use. Zhu Biao didn't care what kind of monsters the other party was, as long as the plan could be carried out steadily, it was enough.
