At the beginning of the New Year, all industries in the Ming Dynasty were prosperous, and internal and foreign ministers gathered in Yingtian Prefecture.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to hold a grand party.

An emergency occurred.

After Fang Shiyu received the military newspaper from the Governor's Office of the Five Army, he rushed into the Ganqing Palace like a flying man.

"Old Zhu, Lao Zhu, something happened!" General Fang Shiyu handed the report to Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Hanxing defenders?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the regime on the Liaodong Peninsula was Goryeo. At this time, the border between the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo was not bounded by the Yalu River.

Dingzhou and Xianxing, near the sea, are the places where the Ming garrisons are garrisoned. To the north are the land of the Ming Dynasty. The peninsula is really just a peninsula.

As for why the Ming Dynasty's territory on the Liaodong Peninsula was greatly reduced in a short period of time, things happened here.

"Li Chenggui usurped the throne in a coup and wrote a letter to our dynasty, hoping to obtain our canonization, and hope to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty forever and serve as a barrier for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a look, found out the whole story, and met him by chance, "What do you think about this matter?"

"Li Chenggui usurped the throne in a coup, and it is definitely necessary to support the outside world. It is not impossible to enthrone him, but he wants to use the Yalu River as the boundary with our dynasty and give it to Jeju Island, so don't even think about this!"

"Whether it is Xianxing or Dingzhou, it is an estuary and has a natural harbor. Our dynasty controls these two places and can also suppress the top of Liaodong with Mount Tai."

"No matter how the Liaodong Peninsula changes and develops, it will not threaten the deployment of our dynasty in Liaodong. As for Jeju Island, although it is a small island, it must not be allowed to go to sea, need a harbor, and also need to establish military bases and supply stations at sea."

"If we control Jeju Island, our Navy will be able to carry out indiscriminate attacks on Japan and the North Korean coast at sea, and it will be easy to go back and forth every day!"

"Without Jeju Island, our navy forces in the East China Sea would have been drastically reduced, even to the point where we could not ensure the stability of the East China Sea."

Fang Shiyu said firmly.

"I think there is nothing wrong with Jeju Island, it's just a deserted island. If you reply to him like this, you will say that the land of our ancestors can't be given to others."

"Since he respects the Ming Dynasty as the sect leader and the peninsula as a barrier, he should not make such requests! I hope you should think carefully and not forget the anger of thunder with the peace of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang said that, Fang Shiyu said, "Old Zhu, Li Chenggui also said that he is willing to focus on the title of the Great Ming Dynasty for generations!"

With a serious look, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time and said, "Has Li Chenggui's envoy entered the capital?"

"According to the military newspaper, Li Chenggui sent envoys on the eighth day of the 12th month of the 25th year of Hongwu, and it has arrived in Yingtian in the past two days!"

"Well, let the people from the Ministry of Rites receive them and stay in the State Guesthouse temporarily. I am replying to them on the New Year Festival of the 26th year of Hongwu."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, he was still thinking about how he would name the Liaodong Peninsula.

Li Chenggui is a loyal and a traitor, and Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care. After this incident on the Liaodong Peninsula, he must have no chance to invade the Liaodong region.

...........

Fang Shiyu walked out of the Ganqing Palace with a sad expression.

"Sir, sir, wait, wait!" Zhu Zhi shouted quickly.

A little stunned, Fang Shiyu turned around and said, "Xiao Shiwu, what's the matter?"

"Hey, it's not a matter of choosing a concubine for you. The old man asked each palace and department, the heads of six ministries, the governors of various places, and the county magistrates to recommend folk women to Beijing for the selection of the show."

"Everyone is very anxious about this matter, you are not in a hurry at all!"

Zhu Zhi shrugged.

After lamenting, Fang Shiyu said listlessly: "Don't mention this matter. Your father doesn't agree with me marrying your sister. It's so hard to get through."

"This is normal. You are the imperial master, but you are not as good as us to backup."

"How could the old man agree to such a thing!"

Zhu Zhi sighed.

"Come on, let me tell you, it's just old-fashioned and dull, and there are so many peers. If you count carefully three generations, you will be different from seniority."

Fang Shiyu has never found a way to deal with this matter. He married Zhu Ziyi. It seems that Old Zhu's head is not dead, and he will never have a chance in his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so anxious to choose a concubine for Fang Shiyu, so that he would settle his status while he was still alive and let Fang Shiyu die of this heart.

As long as Fang Shiyu gets married, there will be someone in the two main positions, the princess and concubines.

As the daughter of Emperor Hongwu, could Zhu Ziyi marry Fang Shiyu as a concubine who was younger than the concubine? Zhu Ziyi agreed, and Zhu Yuanzhang would not agree either!

It can be said that Lao Zhutou's move trapped Fang Shiyu and Zhu Ziyi tightly.

As for why Lao Zhutou didn’t let Fang Shiyu marry Zhu Ziyi, from Fang Shiyu’s perspective, it is not difficult to see that Fang Shiyu’s status is already very high.

Marrying another princess and adding a royal relative like a princess, will inevitably lead to problems.

"Let's go out and meet me. Maybe there will be a turning point!" Zhu Zhi hooked Fang Shiyu's shoulder and walked out.

"Who do you see?" Fang Shiyu said suspiciously.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and Zhu Zhi said, "Of course I saw Zhu Ziyi, go to the princess's mansion!"

......

Princess's Mansion.

Fang Shiyu and Zhu Zhi stayed outside for a while, waiting eagerly. After all, Fang Shiyu had a special identity and could not have actually sent a visit to see Zhu Ziyi.

At this time, in an alley not far away, Zhu Ziyi stretched out her head and looked at Fang Shiyu and Zhu Zhi, and shouted softly: "Here, here!"

The two turned their heads and saw Zhu Ziyi, Zhu Zhi was surprised and said, "Why did you come out from here?"

"It's hard to describe it. Let's go first. Hurry up. After a while, my dad finds that I've run away, and someone will come to find me! I don't know if I can come out then!"

Zhu Ziyi said quickly.

Fang Shiyu glanced at the dog hole in the alley. In order to run out, Zhu Ziyi actually drilled into the dog hole...

It can be seen how strict Lao Zhu’s defense against Zhu Ziyi!

The group of three people didn't go to a very special place, they just wandered around the streets.

Zhu Zhi found a reason and ran away.

Only Zhu Ziyi and Fang Shiyu are left.*

"I heard you are going to choose a concubine!" Zhu Ziyi said with her hands hooked in front of her abdomen, looking worried.

After lamenting, Fang Shiyu said, "It's not your father's decision. It's going to be decided in the summer of the 26th year of Hongwu..."

"Then congratulations!"

Zhu Ziyi said in a faint voice.

"Stop talking about this, I see that there are candied haws selling there. I came out today and brought some money. I'll buy it for you now!" Fang Shiyu took a step forward and ran to the vendor selling candied haws in front.

Zhu Ziyi stood there, holding her mouth, sighing, and looking at Fang Shiyu with a sad face.

At some point, Zhu Quan appeared behind Zhu Ziyi and said in a deep voice: "He is the imperial teacher. If you are with him, you will not have a good result."

"But..." Zhu Ziyi lamented, nodded, and said softly: "I understand, give him this letter."

As if he felt a lot of loss in his heart, Zhu Ziyi handed the wax-sealed letter to Zhu Quan and turned around and left.

When Fang Shiyu returned with four strings of candied haws, Zhu Ziyi could no longer be seen on the spot.

Zhu Quan stood in front of Fang Shiyu and said, "Sir!"

"Xiao Shiqi, why are you here?" Fang Shiyu said in a silence. He asked, "Where did you hide her?"

"Mr. I'm so serious. I have nothing to do in the mansion. I'll go out for a walk. But Mr., instead of being in the palace, he sneaked out of the palace!"

Zhu Quan asked back.

Holding the candied haws in my hand, Fang Shiyu said, "I'll buy a candied haws, and I have to report to you boy?"

Zhu Quan bowed and said, "What Mr. Husband said is very much. I naturally can't control what he wants to do, but I can still control some things."

"Your Highness will collect this letter and take it back!"

Fang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, looked at the letter in his hand, and gradually squeezed it into a ball with force.

......

Hall of Care for Heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the hunting rifle with a white cloth, blinking his eyes, and looked very bad.

"Have you handled it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a plain tone.

Zhu Quan bowed and replied: "According to my father's wishes, the sir has returned to the palace after reading the last letter written by Ziyi. He should not think about it anymore!"

"We know the nature of this child best. Seeing people alive and corpses dead. That girl Ziyi is really willing to become a monk and a nun?" Zhu Yuanzhang took charge.

Every step of Fang Shiyu was calculated cleanly, as if no matter how Fang Shiyu chose or did it, the final result was under his control.

The only thing beyond his expectations was that Fang Shiyu saved Empress Yuan, obtained the imperial seal, and met Zhu Ziyi in the Yan Palace.

But now, things are going on as he wishes.

"She volunteered!"

Zhu Quandao.
