Below, Zhu Biao moved his body like a hill slightly, and said helplessly: "Father, please forgive me, Korea and Ming Dynasty are separated by thousands of miles of sea, so it is difficult to transmit the news.
However, father, don’t worry, according to Lao Si’s shrewdness, he won’t suffer a big loss at the hands of the Koreans! "
As he spoke, a stern look flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes, "Korea has become more and more disobedient in recent years, insulting my Ming Dynasty prince and killing my Ming Dynasty officials!
Especially the Goryeo royal family. If the fourth child does not let the Goryeo royal family get the punishment they deserve, I, the Ming Dynasty, should also take action and teach them a lesson. "
Regarding Zhu Biao's words, Lao Zhu did not refute, but just frowned slightly.
"Biao'er, our Ming Dynasty has been conquering Beiyuan in the past few years, and the people have been overwhelmed. It's time to take a good rest.
Especially the national treasury has long been empty. If there were no fish caught by the navy from the sea, you should know best how difficult it would be for our Ming Dynasty..."
Zhu Biao sighed slightly, looking helpless.
Lao Zhu continued: "Moreover, Goryeo is isolated overseas. No matter how rampant and treacherous they are, they cannot threaten our Ming Dynasty.
That Goryeo King Wang You is a bit treacherous and stingy. We also want to capture that Goryeo King Wang You and bring him to the Ming Dynasty to teach him a lesson.
However, we are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you are the Prince of the Ming Dynasty. You cannot do whatever you want. Once we went to war, the people couldn't stand it..."
"His Majesty!"
Just as Lao Zhu was speaking, Erhu walked in quickly from outside the hall.
"What's the matter?"
Lao Zhu said with some displeasure.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prince Yan has come to the capital!"
"Um?"
Lao Zhu frowned.
However, Zhu Biao looked happy.
"The fourth child has come to the capital? Where is he now?"
Erhu quickly replied: "Back to Your Highness, Your Highness King Yan has just arrived at the dock of Qinhuai River by boat, and sent someone to report to Your Majesty."
"snort!"
Above, Lao Zhu's face suddenly darkened, "He also knows that as a vassal king, he is not allowed to enter the capital without permission from the court?"
Erhu trembled and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
Zhu Biao quickly smiled and begged: "Father, please calm down, we haven't received any news. The fourth child must have just returned from Goryeo and came directly to Yingtian without returning to Peiping.
There must be something urgent to be so anxious, otherwise the fourth child wouldn't be so reckless..."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu's expression softened slightly.
"Erhu, how many ships have come from the fourth brother?"
"Your Majesty, there are only five ships!"
"Five ships?"
Lao Zhu frowned again, "Does the Fourth sent people to report? Why did the Fourth suddenly come to Yingtian? Could it be that that bastard was defeated in Goryeo?"
Erhu quickly replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan seems to have captured the King of Goryeo and brought him to heaven!"
"Um?"
Old Zhuhu was stunned.
Zhu Biao's face was full of surprise.
Lao Zhu said: "Erhu, are you serious about this?"
Erhu hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. As soon as Erhu heard the report, he immediately reported it to Your Majesty. He didn't have time to send someone to investigate."
Zhu Biao said: "Father, although the fourth child is a little reckless, he will never dare to deceive the father. Maybe the fourth child will really capture the King of Korea."
Lao Zhu's face turned solemn, "Er Hu, you personally lead the people and bring Lao Si into the palace."
"I obey the decree!"
Erhu responded quickly and quickly retreated.
In the hall, Lao Zhu looked thoughtful.
"Biao'er, let's remember that the fourth son went to Goryeo this time. It seems that he only brought 15,000 soldiers with him."
Zhu Biao replied: "Father is wise, except for the flag troops driving ships, the fourth son only brought fifteen thousand soldiers!"
Lao Zhu asked: "With just a few soldiers, can Lao Si capture King Jing of Goryeo and finally capture King Yingtian of Goryeo?"
Zhu Biao shook his head slowly and said helplessly: "I don't know either."
Lao Zhu didn't ask any more questions. He just looked outside the hall through the glass window, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
During this period, Zhu Biao didn't say much and leaned on the chair to recover his strength.
In recent years, his body has become fatter and fatter.
Sometimes, I feel tired just sitting, and I feel a little breathless when I talk too much.
In this way, half an hour passed.
His Highness finally heard a few footsteps.
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao looked up.
A burly young man who looked similar to Lao Zhu and was wearing a purple dragon robe strode in.
It was Zhu Di, King of Yan, who had just returned from Goryeo.
Above, Lao Zhu's face suddenly became stern.
Zhu Di, who was still looking happy, his eyelids twitched, and his face, which was still looking happy, suddenly drooped.
He walked closer and saluted Lao Zhu respectfully.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
"snort!"
Lao Zhu snorted coldly through his nostrils, "So King Yan still knows that we are still alive!"
Zhu Di trembled, turned his head quickly, glanced at Zhu Biao for help, and replied with a smile.
"Dad, calm down, my child is not in a hurry. That's why I didn't send someone to ask for your instructions in advance.
However, although the child has been named King of Yan, this is still the child's home. The child has not seen his father and eldest brother for more than a year.
The child had just returned from Korea. If he went to Peking to wait, he would have to wait for more than ten days. I couldn't wait, so I hurried here..."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu's eyelids trembled slightly.
"We're not dead yet. Even if you two run to the capital together, we won't be afraid. But, Zhu Di, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused for us?"
Zhu Di quickly said: "Dad, are you blaming the child for not asking for instructions, so he led the Yanshan Guards to attack Goryeo?"
Lao Zhu snorted again and looked at Zhu Di quietly.
Zhu Di immediately looked aggrieved, "Father, my child asked Zhu Changshi to report to my father years ago. The King of Korea dared not to repay the money he owed the child, and also dared to bully the child again and again. The child wanted to lead his troops to punish him. Teach them a lesson!
At that time, the father did not give the child any will..."
Lao Zhu was startled, who would have thought that you bastard would really dare to lead troops to attack Goryeo.
On the side, Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Di hurriedly, and reproached with concern: "How could dad blame you for such a thing.
What makes Dad angry is that you, a bastard, went to attack a small country and only brought fifteen thousand soldiers.
If something happens to you, what will happen..."
Hearing this, Zhu Di was slightly startled and quickly looked at Lao Zhu above.
Lao Zhu did not object, but he did not continue to reprimand Zhu Di.
"Tell me, you bastard, why did you suddenly come to Yingtian this time?"
Zhu Di quickly said: "Dad, I will bring the King of Korea Wang You and his son Wang Chang to Yingtian and let dad punish them."
Lao Zhu frowned, then thought of something, and said coldly: "Punishment? But because they dare to attack and kill my Ming Dynasty official?
"Father is wise!"
Zhu Di said again: "Dad, you probably don't know that after the King of Goryeo, Wang You, sent people to attack and kill my official of the Ming Dynasty, he actually summoned eight soldiers from northern Goryeo, totaling 100,000 people, to attack Tieling, Liaodong!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were immediately furious.
"How brave!"
"How dare this bastard barbarian be so bold? He deserves to be cut to pieces!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Dad, Cui Ying, the official who incited King Wang You of Goryeo to rebel against our Ming Dynasty, and the general Li Chenggui, have been hacked to death by children, and their families have been confiscated and their families destroyed.
As for the King of Goryeo, Wang You, he also killed his royal family members and ransacked their homes...
When the boy came this time, in addition to preparing to hand over the Goryeo King Wang You and his eldest son Wang Chang to his father for punishment, he also brought all the property copied from the Goryeo King's palace to his father.
The total of gold, silver and jewelry is about more than 200,000 taels of silver..."
Both Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao couldn't help but shine.
Later, Lao Zhu remembered something and said angrily: "That guy obviously has enough money and things, but he still doesn't pay you back?"
A stern look flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "What dad said is absolutely true. The King of Korea has evil intentions and sincerely bullies the children, so the children want to lead troops to attack them."
"It's time to attack!"
Lao Zhu nodded subconsciously and asked: "What we are curious about is, how could you, a bastard like you, with only fifteen thousand men, be able to capture the King of Goryeo and Wang Jing?" ?”
Speaking of this, Zhu Di suddenly raised his chin and said, "Dad, you don't know how much the King of Korea wants to save face.
Ha'er just sent people to the city wall to tell the Korean soldiers and people in the city about the King of Korea's failure to repay the money he owed.
The King of Korea became furious and sent 30,000 troops out of the city to attack Haer...
The child quickly asked people to lay mines in the land, and then...
The child did not expect that the Goryeo soldiers were so incompetent. After just one wave, they fled into the city one by one...
The boy then sent people to hunt him down... So, in less than two hours, the King of Korea and even the palace of the King of Korea were captured by the boy! "
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Lao Zhu said thoughtfully: "So, your Yanshan Guard didn't suffer many casualties in this battle!"
"Dad's guess is correct!" Zhu Di nodded quickly.
Lao Zhu asked again: "The Goryeo soldiers are so incompetent, is the King of Goryeo still under your control now?"
Zhu Di chuckled and said, "I can't hide anything from my father. My child wants to treat Goryeo King Jing as my city, and then my child will send people to manage it!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu's eyes narrowed.
"You want to build a private country?"
Zhu Biao's eyes widened.
Zhu Di carefully glanced at Lao Zhu above, and then replied to Zhu Biao: "Brother, Goryeo is isolated overseas and is still very barren. It is difficult for me, the Ming Dynasty, to manage it.
Just in time, I took the Yanshan Guards in my house, and by some strange combination of circumstances, I defeated Wang Jing of Goryeo.
At present, Wang Jing can still be defended with only those 10,000 soldiers.
As for the other states and cities in Goryeo, I want to use Goryeo King Wang You to order them, and at the same time transport Korean ginseng, sesame oil, grain and other goods to Peking...
Then transport some silk, tea and other goods and sell them to the powerful people of Goryeo to make some money from Goryeo. "
Zhu Biao opened his mouth slightly and subconsciously looked at Lao Zhu above.
Goryeo was conquered by Zhu Di. Zhu Biao had no objection to how Zhu Di wanted to deal with it, even if Zhu Di wanted to make some money from Goryeo.
However, Lao Zhu looked down on the behavior of merchants from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmph, you want to disobey our will again and do business with foreign vassals? Besides, you don't feel embarrassed that the dignified prince worries about these merchants all day long?"
Zhu Di trembled slightly and quickly explained: "Dad, I have asked the King of Korea to sign his credentials and transfer the Yan'an County, Ganghwa Island, Qiao Ke Island, and Wang Jingdu of Korea to my Prince Yan's Mansion in payment of debts!
Therefore, Ha'er only transported some goods from his overseas cities that we did not have in Ming Dynasty, and then transported some goods from our Ming Dynasty to overseas cities. They were the private goods of Ha'er Yan State. Even those gentry and merchants could not find anything to say if they were dissatisfied. From the beginning..."
