From the perspective of outsiders, a son turning into a grandson is just a joke and a farce, but for Xu Youzhen, the damage it can cause is fatal.
Therefore, he would not let Xu Shiliang stay in the capital.
Then he looked at Xu Shiliang, who was crying like rain.
Xu Youzhen was also conflicted in her heart. To put it bluntly, part of the reason why she asked her son to leave the capital was because he couldn't pass the test in his heart. He didn't know how to face his son.
Although Xu Youzhen was exhausted by this incident, he arranged the southern tour without any delay. This made Zhu Jianshen, who was closely watching the development of the old Xu family's affairs in the Qianqing Palace, very pleased.
After suffering such a big blow, how can any ordinary person do it and go to work on time the next day and report to work...
North Korea, Nanyuan City.
Originally, the Spring Festival had a high influence in North Korea. Coupled with the influx of a large number of Ming army soldiers and their families, the Spring Festival's status was even higher.
In the palace of the King of Han.
The day before the arrival of the New Year, the lanterns and festoons have already begun.
There are busy maids and eunuchs everywhere.
Although they experienced an accident a few months ago, it did not add much haze to the hearts of King Han and Princess Han.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace also attached great importance to the Spring Festival, which the eunuchs and maids were looking forward to. In addition, so many people died in the palace's backyard. Princess Han also wanted to set off more fireworks and firecrackers to ward off bad luck. This year's budget was also It's surprisingly high.
As long as there is a door, there will be a red lantern, which will not let the candle light go out all night. The Han Palace purchased two thousand red lanterns at a time.
This can be regarded as the most generous New Year I have ever had since I came to North Korea.
Two days ago, envoys sent by Zhu Jianshen also arrived at Nanyuan City and gave some relief to Han Wang Zhu Jianlin, as well as some rewards.
Zhu Jianlin's eldest son was also given the name Zhu Youzhu and was made the crown prince of the Han Dynasty. The crown prince's rewards were also generous.
Ever since he encountered the rebellion, King Zhu Jianlin of the Han Dynasty had received letters of condolence from his brother and grandfather. King Xiang's letter expressed concern in an elder's tone, but did not put forward any substantive suggestions. However, the letter from his brother King Ping, It seemed very explicit. He wanted his second brother to take advantage of this incident to ask the emperor for something, just like the third brother, people, money, and food.
Zhu Jianlin originally had this idea, but after receiving the letter from his second son, he changed his mind.
This guy is trying to trick me again to benefit himself.
Zhu Jianlin had to be cautious because of the losses he had suffered since childhood. He thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed inappropriate.
Because my ancestors made a peace, the outer vassals of the Ming Dynasty were in a very embarrassing situation. Once military power was involved, people had to think too much. After Korea became a vassal, it was actually more free than the original territory of the Ming Dynasty. A lot, they have five hundred guards. Although they are far behind the border kings of the Hongwu Dynasty, they are much stronger than the internal vassal kings.
They can slightly interfere in local government affairs, and even have the freedom to write letters to the governor of North Korea, but they cannot control military power on a large scale. This is a bottom line issue.
Having held military power for a long time, even a good-for-nothing feels like he can give it a try. Clan rebellion is the most undesirable form of self-depletion.
Of course, although Zhu Jianlin didn't behave differently in normal times, after that incident, he did become extremely cautious.
The guards' inspections have also become stricter, and there is no such freedom as before in Nanyuan City.
Under the pressure he put on him, the local government could only begin to restore the tense and strict management atmosphere of the past.
Black-robed pickets also appeared in the streets and alleys at all times, resuming a series of patrols in the city at night and other things that Shi Biao did when he was in North Korea.
The soldiers dispatched by Wang Yue also stationed in Nanyuan City one after another. The Governor himself also arrived in Nanyuan City and then visited the King of Han.
After arriving at Prince Han's Mansion, Zhu Jianlin was very polite to him, but his polite attitude did not mean his polite words.
"To patrol the new territory, the life and property of the clan and vassal are entrusted to your hands. This is how much Your Majesty values Governor Wang. Over the years, Governor Wang has indeed done his duty and kept everything in North Korea in order. But a few days ago, Governor Wang , the rebels broke into the Han Palace in an organized and planned manner. My life was almost taken away by the rebels. Every time I think about it, I am terrified. When I saw Governor Wang today, I dared to say a few words. Mr. Wang has a great responsibility. You must not slack off at all, otherwise if the clan king encounters something unexpected in Korea, the government and the public will be shocked, and if any king dares to go to Korea in the future, Annan will become a vassal, which will ruin the Ming Dynasty's century-old plan."
This was the most serious thing Zhu Jianlin said to Wang Yue.
It can be regarded as denying and doubting everything he did before.
Wang Yue accepted it calmly, without any dissatisfaction or discouragement in his heart.
Everything has two sides.
If Shi Biao followed what he did in Liaoping Mansion, the safety of Hanwang Mansion would definitely be guaranteed.
But the cost of long-term strict rule is also huge. The entire North Korea has to draw blood from the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to be largely self-sufficient as it is now.
Long-term peace and stability require a stable social environment and stable government policies. Only with stability can local governments collect taxes and support local officials and permanent Ming army soldiers.
Facts have proved that what is needed now is also Wang Yue's political thought.
Otherwise, even if North Korea does not rebel, Ming Dynasty still thinks that one day it will lose this burden...
After Wang Yue left the Han Palace, he did not leave Nanyuan City. He stayed in Nanyuan City for half a month. During this period, he met Wang Zhili, who led the team, and had the opportunity to talk. They met each other for the first time. After chatting, Wang Yue became somewhat interested in the little eunuch Wang Zhi...
The temporary office of Chaowei is located in an alley not far from the palace.
There are more than a hundred imperial guards who came here, and two Koreans registered hundreds of households.
Although the two hundred households of Chaowei were handling the matter, it was tacitly understood that the real leader was Wang Zhi.
They came to Nanyuan City to deploy their hidden lines and information transmission channels in the southwest.
As an organization engaged in underground work, it is indeed a shame that major events must be learned from the mouths of brother troops.
Wang Zhi had learned a lot while staying in Pyongyang, and when he came to Nanyuan City, he was not in any hurry...
Everything proceeds in an orderly manner.
The two North Koreans were also very obedient, doing whatever they were told and never raising questions...
