Zhu Di was also so angry that he even said these words.

It can be seen how annoying these monkeys jumping up and down are.

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and recited the sutra silently.

No one knew what was going on in his mind.

"Yang Xuan, what should we do?"

"Only can these annoying monkeys be completely quieted down."

At this time, Zhu Di looked at Yang Xuan, who had been silent.

The latter frowned, then raised his head and looked at Zhu Di.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what should I do if my method harms Tianhe?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Are we going to let them continue to rebel again and again?" Zhu Di asked back.

"I understand," Yang Xuan said.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me your solution quickly." Zhu Di urged.

"yes."

"My method is very simple. There are only six words: destroy your country and destroy your history." Yang Xuan said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Yao Guangxiao immediately understood the meaning and couldn't help but glance at Yang Xuan.

Zhu Di was also attracted by the method Yang Xuan said, with expectation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yang Xuan continued: "Jiaozhi has been an integral part of our Chinese territory since ancient times."

This sentence can be regarded as a foreshadowing for what follows.

"After the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he included Annan into our territory of China."

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo established himself as King Wu of South Vietnam and established the South Vietnam Kingdom."

"Leave China temporarily."

"But with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Nanyue Kingdom was overthrown, and the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan were established to implement direct administrative management."

"To this day, although there have been repeated resistances during this period, it has generally been under the direct jurisdiction of each dynasty."

"During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Annan was again incorporated into the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty."

"A few years later, a rebellion broke out in Jiaozhou in the Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Hong's attack failed, and the Southern Han Dynasty gave up on recapturing Jiaozhou."

"This behavior has left hidden dangers for Annan's independence."

"In the first year of the founding of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the leader of the Ding tribe established the Ding Dynasty. Two years later, he claimed to be the emperor and officially left China."

"In the early years of Yongle, I, the Ming Dynasty, once again incorporated Annan into the territory of China."

"But after hundreds of years, Annan has become different from China."

"They no longer have a sense of identity with China."

"That's the root of their repeated rebellions."

"If the Ming Dynasty wants to solve this problem, it must re-establish the Annan people's sense of identity with China."

After listening to the historical origins mentioned by Yang Xuan, Zhu Di also frowned.

Yao Guangxiao fell into deep thought.

Yang Xuan was not in a hurry to urge the two of them. He took a sip of tea and looked at the two of them again.

After a while, I heard Yao Guangxiao say: "So, is this the reason why the Marquis wants to destroy his country and destroy his history?"

"Yes!" Yang Xuan nodded.

"We have destroyed their country, but their history has not been destroyed."

"As long as their history exists, there will always be rebellions."

"A short-term rebellion is okay, but if it lasts for decades or hundreds of years, the financial impact on the Ming Dynasty will be too great."

"In order to reduce financial expenditure, future generations will inevitably not abandon Jiaozhi."

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face looked a little ugly.

He thought about it carefully and found that the situation Yang Xuan mentioned might really happen in the future.

Even if he has to pay some price while he is alive, Jiaozhi will still be the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But if he dies, that's not necessarily the case.

Zhu Di now has some doubts that his fat son will probably give up the land he laid down.

After all, it has always been known to everyone that his fat son has different political views from him.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhu Di couldn't help but cursed: "This traitor!"

"Somebody come!"

"His Majesty!"

"Pass the crown prince!"

"yes!"

Seeing this, Yang Xuan and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other with confusion.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Yang Xuan asked.

"Let's wait until the prince comes," Zhu Di said.

How did the prince offend His Majesty (Zhu Laosi)... Yang Xuan and Yao Guangxiao thought at the same time.

Not long after, Zhu Gaochi dragged his fat body to the imperial study room.

"My son, please see your father!"

Zhu Di did not let Zhu Gaochi get up. He put his hands on his hips and paced in front of Zhu Gaochi.

"Prince!"

"My son is here!"

"I ask you, if I die, will you give up Jiaozhi?" Zhu Di asked.

"Father, how did you know..." Zhu Gaochi quickly closed his mouth mid-sentence.

Then he changed his words and said: "How could it be possible, father?"

"Okay, you really have this idea."

"You traitor!"

Zhu Di did not believe what Zhu Gaochi said later because he heard half of what he said before.

Although it has not been finished, you can guess what is behind it.

"Do you know how many soldiers our Ming Dynasty lost after conquering Jiaozhi?"

"Is giving up Jiaozhi worthy of me and the soldiers who died in the battle?"

The more Zhu Di talked, the angrier he became. Then he lowered his head and searched in the imperial study room to see if there was anything handy.

In the end, he directly pulled out the Emperor's Sword hanging on the wall.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xuan and Yao Guangxiao were both frightened.

If you quarrel, just quarrel. If you educate your son, educate your son. What kind of sword should you use?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't!"

"Prince, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to His Majesty!"

Yang Xuan and Yao Guangxiao, one grabbed the sword from Zhu Di's hand, and the other quickly persuaded Zhu Gaochi.

"Father, I know my mistake!" Although the incident has not happened yet, the most important thing is to calm Zhu Di's anger now.

After getting angry and hearing his son admit his mistake, Zhu Di's mood almost calmed down.

He glared at Yang Xuan who had snatched the sword away, and then snorted to Zhu Gaochi: "Get up!"

"Oh, thank you father!"

Zhu Gaochi stood up with difficulty with the help of Yao Guangxiao.

"Look at how fat you are." Zhu Di couldn't help but say.

Zhu Gaochi felt a little aggrieved. Is this something he can control?

He doesn’t want to be so fat!

"Your Majesty, let's talk about business first!" Yang Xuan changed the subject aside, otherwise Zhu Di could talk about Zhu Gaochi's obesity for half an hour.

"Um."

"Tell the prince everything about Jiaozhi and what you just said." Zhu Di said.

A little revenge on Yang Xuan who just snatched the sword from his hand.

You are really petty... Yang Xuan glanced at Zhu Di and cursed.

Then he started talking about business.

Finally, he emphasized to Zhu Gaochi: "Jiaozhi has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times."

"Since there is a problem, then find a way to solve it."

"What does it mean if you give it up?"

Zhu Gaochi quickly said that he was wrong.

“Jiaozhi, whether in terms of its historical origins or its strategic location, must never be abandoned.”
