"Your Majesty, this must not be done..."

As soon as Zhan Yang finished speaking, Zhao Fu hurriedly spoke.

It took a lot of effort for me to figure it out. If the rebels in Pyongyang, North Korea used money to settle the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't I be useless?

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhao Fu regretted them.

In the Palace of the Qianqing Dynasty, Wen Youyu, Li Fuchen, Wu Youcheng, Duke Taining, and Taining Marquis, no matter how good they are, they are not in his turn.

As expected, everyone, including His Majesty, was looking at him.

I am indeed a young person among these people. I have no authority at all. As soon as my hair is tied up, I want to dress up like a wolf with a big tail...

Just when Zhao Fu was feeling anxious and frightened, a voice appeared.

"Admiral Zhao, Minister Zhan only said what the envoy from Pyongyang said, and I have not made a decision. Why did you say no? Could it be that you were distracted..." Zhu Jianshen's voice was relaxed, without any sign of anger.

Zhu Jianshen's words at this time made Zhao Fu feel like a spring breeze.

Is Your Majesty trying to save himself?

Yes.

His Majesty is rescuing himself.

At that moment, Zhao Fu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, I have been thinking about how to fight this battle after entering North Korea. I am a little tired. I just said something out of focus."

Zhu Jianshen nodded and said: "Although national affairs and military affairs are more important than Mount Tai, your body is also very important. Admiral Zhao still needs to pay more attention to his body."

After Zhao Fu heard this, he raised his head and saw Zhu Jianshen with a smile on his face. Then he quickly lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Your Majesty's face is truly blessed, and he is indeed worthy of being the True Dragon Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Duke Cheng has a frivolous brow, Wen has a dog-licking Xu Youzhen, and Wu has a pen pal Shi Heng. Now Zhao Fu also wants to come in, and they all want to be in front of their own Duke. Do you think you, the Duke, are so shameless?

Tai Ninghou glanced at Cheng Guogong calmly, and then showed an "I understand you" expression.

"Their envoys said that if Pyongyang can win, then they will mobilize the whole country to support the Ming Dynasty. Do you have any ideas?"

"Your Majesty, if you really helped them invade Seoul and take control of North Korea, they will definitely not admit it." Yu Qian came out and said, "Moreover, there is nothing immoral about Seoul, how could the Ming Dynasty easily abandon it and then issue a new decree?" As for the leader of Korea, he is inconsistent with the law and principles, and he is inconsistent with the Tao."

Yu Qian did not support it.

Silver is important, but Ming's reputation is even more important.

After Zhu Jianshen listened, he nodded slightly. He was not surprised by what Qian said.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the Taibao's words." Wang Wen said immediately.

"Your Majesty, although I feel that Pyongyang should not be enfeoffed, Wuyang Marquis Chen Bing and the former Korean Ping'an Road are so close to Pyongyang. Logically speaking, in this case, Seoul should send envoys to Ming Dynasty to report to Your Majesty earlier. Regarding the disputes in Korea, they tried to get Marquis Wu Yang to help them, but they didn't, which in itself is weird..." Li Xian also said.

Although he disagreed, he used another method to drag the issue of the imperial edict from Pyongyang to Seoul's discourtesy and incompetence.

It can be seen that Li Xian also has thoughts about this money.

After listening to Li Xian's words, Zhan Yang looked at Zhu Jianshen, his mind wandered, and he also stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, when we came back from Korea, the censor of Xudu once said that although Korea has no other country except Shouyang, Maharaja, but he is destined to be unstable."

"He has a good opinion of everyone in Seoul, North Korea."

"The leader of North Korea, Li Hongwei, is weak and timid. He has no kingly opinions and courage. The North Korean system is incomplete and does not allow the birth of powerful ministers. If one Shouyang Lord dies, thousands of Shouyang Lords will stand up in Seoul."

"The King of Jincheng, Li Yu, is very happy with his achievements but lacks the ability. He takes the credit of getting rid of the King of Shouyang and ranks first among the important ministers. He is in charge of the military affairs and political affairs of Seoul. His virtue is not suitable for him. If he takes charge of the government, North Korea will definitely The country's affairs are not going well and there are rebellions in various places, which is not enough to start."

"But all the officials in Jixian Hall are pedantic literati. They look forward and backward in doing things, and have no courage or determination."

"Wei Chen has stayed in Seoul for so long, and feels that what Xu Du Yushi said is reasonable. Now that a new king has been established in Pyongyang, Seoul has a large army and controls more than 80% of the country's food, military and population. However, in more than two months, , repeated battles and defeats also confirmed that what Xu Du Yushi said was reasonable."

"I'm thinking, if the Ming Dynasty sent troops to help Seoul and let its sons fight bloody battles in other countries, but because of the cooperation of the Seoul army, it failed to succeed, affecting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, what if the fighting spirit of the king's army delayed the reform of the land? For the sake of national policy..."

Zhan Yang said nothing, but he said everything.

Seoul is a bit hard to help...

Zhu Shou, Duke of Cheng, and Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining, both chose to remain silent at this time. Although this was a military matter, it was more related to state affairs. If you can say less, just say less.

Zhu Jianshen was a little embarrassed. He was still talking about supporting Seoul two days ago. If he changed things now, it would make everyone think that he was treating national policies as child's play.

Zhu Jianshen wanted the white money, but he couldn't express it.

"Admiral Zhao, haven't you been thinking about the military strategy for entering the DPRK these past two days? Take this opportunity to talk about what Ming Dynasty should do if it supports Seoul." Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu hurriedly came out and replied: "Your Majesty, I also feel that there is a rebellion in North Korea. We, the Ming Dynasty, should not send troops from Liaodong. The policy of 20,000 regiments going north can be continued. Of course, the 20,000 going north is just to prepare for emergencies." If necessary, I think it is better to let the Koreans do their own thing. As Shilang Zhan just said, Seoul has the upper hand and the failure to win is due to the fault of the commander."

"After I enter North Korea, I dare not say that I can pacify Pyongyang in a short time, but I will never let Pyongyang's army be in danger of invading Seoul."

After listening to Zhao Fu's words, Zhu Jianshen nodded slightly, and then said: "No matter what the court decides, its orthodox position in North Korea cannot be threatened. The King of Pyongyang will not be granted the title, but I, but I still want Pyongyang. Said gold and silver.”

"If we have these gold and silver to fill the treasury, we can carry out benevolent government without any pressure in the seventh year of Chenghua. My dear friends, who has a good strategy? Neither support Pyongyang nor attack Pyongyang. Pyongyang will be How about the gold and silver income of the Ming Dynasty..."

After hearing this, all the ministers were silent.

Everyone understood the implication of His Majesty's words. The bottom line is that as long as the orthodoxy of Seoul is ensured, we don't care how many kings there are in North Korea. The regimental camp going north is just a training exercise.

Your Majesty thinks so well, but how can there be such beautiful things in this world...

Your Majesty is still too young and thinks things are not comprehensive enough. How should Yu Qian, Li Xian and others answer this question...

Zhu Jianshen said this to let his ministers think of a solution, but no one responded. Zhu Jianshen thought about it carefully and understood the reason.

This issue is very serious for ministers.

The status of orthodoxy was very important to the emperor, and the ministers did not dare to talk about the status of orthodoxy. Such an idea was not something that these upright ministers could bring up.

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said, "I think we can give the advantageous power to Sun Xiang, the governor of Liaodong, Shi Heng, the Marquis of Wuyang, and others."

"They have full authority to deal with it. I want the money, but Pyongyang can't go too far and threaten Seoul's orthodox status. Shi Heng will deal with it. And Admiral Zhao still wants to go to Seoul, North Korea, to help North Korea as planned. The army will do its best to clear up the situation."

After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, he calmed down for a while.

Yu Qian came out and said: "Your Majesty, this method is somewhat contradictory. Since you support the orthodoxy of Seoul, but secretly contact people in Pyongyang, isn't it..." At this point, Yu Qian stopped what he was going to say.

His Majesty ran away from the image of the emperor in his mind again, so Yu Qian decided to pull him back.

For Yu Qian, these gold and silver are also full of temptation.

Although there have been fewer wars in the Ming Dynasty in recent years and life has been relatively relaxed, who would dislike having too much money? BIquGe.biz

But a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. In Yu Qian's opinion, the gold and silver obtained by secretly colluding with Pyongyang are all ill-gotten gains.

Ming Dynasty could not abandon the way of sages for the sake of money.

Zhu Jianshen smiled when he heard this: "Isn't it an act of swaying between Qin and Muchu?" Yu Qian said what he had not said.

Then Zhu Jianshen said seriously: "I said I wanted the money, but I didn't really want it. I just wanted to teach North Korea's Li Hongwei, Li Yu and others a lesson."

"The Ming Dynasty is their superior country. If there is such a change, they should submit their credentials as soon as possible instead of hiding it. If they are not in awe of the Ming Dynasty, they will have to pay the price."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianshen glanced at Yu Qian again and asked: "Yu Taibao, can you give me permission..."

At this point, Cao Jixiang stopped talking, and Sun Xiang, who was sitting aside, hurriedly asked: "What did Yu Taibao say?"

"It doesn't matter what Taibao says, what matters is what Governor Sun thinks..."

After hearing this, Sun Xiang looked at Cao Jixiang with an indifferent expression.

I finally understood something in my heart.

Cao Jixiang probably has another purpose, it depends on what he says.

"I believe that Liaodong can shoulder this matter alone..." Sun Xiang said firmly.

Cao Jixiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty has spoken."

"For the matter in Pyongyang, we will not use weapons for the time being. The censor of Sundu and Marquis Wuyang have the right to act expediently. In the seventh year of Chenghua, gold and silver will be transported back to the capital."

"My lord, I obey the order."
