Chapter 1636: Secret Discussion

The so-called Jianshu people are actually the same person as Zhu Wengui, King Runhuai.

As you can see from the name alone, Zhu Wengui is definitely the direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, and is of the same generation as Zhu Di's crown prince Zhu Zhanji.

The rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang was that each generation of descendants of the Zhu family should be named according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Zhu Di's generation's generation's character "wood", followed by Zhu Gaosui's generation's character "fire", and it was Zhu Zhanji's turn to be the character "earth".

Although Zhu Wengui and Zhu Zhanji are of the same generation, they are definitely Zhu Di's close relatives, and in terms of generation, they should be nephews.

This is also an era of fighting for fathers. It is absolutely impossible for the powerful and noble children and the people of the farm to set out on the same starting line. It is said that the surname Zhu is definitely a good luck, but Zhu Wengui's father is not suitable for fighting for fathers during the Yongle period.

If it were the Jianwen period before, Zhu Wengui was definitely the eldest son-in-law of the capital, because his father was Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

Unfortunately, such an absolutely noble royal bloodline became the source of all the sacred treasures under Zhu Di.

As we all know, Zhu Di was able to ascend the throne to the throne because he robbed his nephew's throne. From a legal perspective, he was actually just an illegal usurper, so he has never been able to sit on the throne as a throne.

After all, the final result of the Jingnan Campaign was that Emperor Jianwen disappeared, which was equivalent to a thorn in Zhu Di's heart. God knows when Zhu Yunwen would suddenly come out and shout, then it would be really lively!

After all, Zhu Yunwen was also the heir to the throne selected by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and he was absolutely well-known!

The failure to find Emperor Jianwen's traces in the Jingnan Campaign always made Zhu Di feel uneasy. So he kept sending people to inquire, but he never found Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts.

Until today, he didn't know that his nephew Zhu Yunwen had died at Tang Shaozhe's hands three years ago.

If Zhu Yunwen cannot be found, Zhu Di naturally has to be careful of someone making trouble for Zhu Yunwen's descendants.

It was not only Emperor Jianwen who disappeared in the Jingnan Campaign, but also Prince Jianwen Zhu Wenkui. The only one who was captured alive was Zhu Wengui, who was only 2 years old at the time.

As the son of a serious concern, Zhu Di was very nervous about his nephew and sent someone to imprison him in the cold palace.

If a political enemy robs Zhu Wengui and establishes a name and rebels with the slogan of killing usurping the throne, it will definitely be the biggest disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in order to prevent unexpected situations, Zhu Di tried to minimize the connection between Zhu Wengui and the outside world.

The pain of being imprisoned in the cold palace is definitely not something that normal people can understand. Moreover, Zhu Di was strictly in charge and Zhu Wengui would never see anyone or news outside. In history, this brother was imprisoned from the age of 2 to the age of 56 before he was released.

As a result, the half-century life of imprisonment made this brother stupid. The child who had never seen anything died in less than a year after he was released. It was probably because his living habits were completely broken and he was not used to the vast world and life outside.

When he came to the Ming Dynasty, Tang Shaozhe studied "History of Ming Dynasty" specifically and felt really pitiful to this brother.

While there have not been any situations that make him sympathize, I will let him go as soon as possible - it can be regarded as making corresponding compensation for him killing other people's father, so I feel at least a little better.

But this name is an absolute taboo part in Zhu Di's mind, and no one in the world is allowed to mention it.

If it weren't for Tang Shaozhe who spoke just now, Zhu Di might have ordered the proposal to behead him on the spot.

But since Tang Shangxian asked this, he would never dare to have any bad intentions and could only endure it. But he didn't understand why Tang Shaozhe suddenly mentioned this name. So he asked.

Of course, it is hard to say that Tang Shaozhe is because he feels sorry for this brother. He wants to find an opportunity to compensate for the blood hatred that killed his father. Furthermore, this brother is too miserable and should he help him.

"Haha, what is your Majesty saying? Isn't Zhu Wengui a member of the Zhu family? Is it normal to enfeoff the ban?"

"Hmph!" Zhu Di sneered and said, "I don't believe that the national master doesn't know the name of this person, so why should he enfeoff him?"

"Of course I know that Zhu Wengui is not only a remnant of Jianwen, but also the second prince of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, a standard hardcore remnant of Jianwen."

"Then the national teacher asked me to enfeoff this person to establish the country? I really don't understand the mystery."

Although Zhu Di's tone has been faint for the past half day, the viciousness in it is very obvious. Tang Shaozhe knew that the emperor was already angry, so he only had the reason to write it up. In fact, he had thought about these contents for a long time, but he had never said that.

"What is the matter of the emperor's enfeoffment in the world? Isn't it just an attempt to establish the rules that will pass on the Ming Dynasty for generations? This is a great opportunity!"

"Oh? I don't know what the national master said, please tell me clearly." After hearing this, Zhu Di became interested.

"Your Majesty, please see, the three people in front of me have chosen very well, basically representing the varieties of enfeoffed princes in the future. So why not add Zhu Wengui? Yes, I know that this kid is the son of Emperor Jianwen, which can easily cause political conflicts.

"Maybe he himself does not want to participate in the liquidation of His Majesty, but he is afraid that someone will erect him as a puppet, which will bring turmoil to the future stability of the Ming Dynasty. But why is Your Majesty still worried about this now? It's completely unnecessary!

"To put it nicely, Zhu Wengui was the son of the previous emperor, but he was not the eldest son or the legitimate son. First of all, if someone attempted to rely on him to rebel, he was not justified; secondly, Zhu Wengui himself was not worthy of great use, and respecting him as the chief means losing three thousand.

"What's more, with Your Majesty standing behind my back, it will definitely convince the people of the world. Your Majesty's throne has been recognized by the heavens, which is a fact that no one can deny it.

"If Your Majesty let Zhu Wengui go out to divide the feudal country at this time, one can prove Your Majesty's generous mind to the people of the world, and the other can also be considered a major problem that has been solved.

"Zhu Wengui has been imprisoned in the palace for more than 20 years. Is Your Majesty still planning to imprison him until he dies? Not only does it hurt the peace of the world, but it also lost a lot of impression that Your Majesty left in the hearts of the people in the world.

"So Your Majesty should enfeoff Zhu Wengui to establish the country, which can be regarded as an explanation for the matter of clearing the emperor's side. The past situation of restoration has now become a trend. Why should Your Majesty care about the past?

"For the future of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty's choice now is very important: ensuring the internal stability of the Ming Dynasty is more important than anything else. With the strength of the Ming Dynasty in the future, unless there are internal problems, it will inevitably be passed down for generations.

"And solving the hidden dangers of the Jianwen lineage is also a precaution, and it eliminates the possible internal dangers of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, the enfeoffment of Zhu Wengui in Japan is very close to the center of the Ming Dynasty. In case of any change, it can be monitored at any time.

"In short, this is a good opportunity to win one shot. If Your Majesty cannot make a decision at the moment, it will be too late to regret it. For me, I still hope that Your Majesty can try to let go of the past."

After saying these words, Zhu Di was filled with mixed feelings, and his expression changed even more moody.

Perhaps others would be afraid of death like this, but Tang Shaozhe didn't take it seriously at all and just watched coldly. He believed that these words would definitely impress Zhu Di. Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was never a stingy person, but on the contrary, he was extremely brave.

What's more, Tang Shaozhe said these things were obsessions in his heart, hoping that the Ming Dynasty after it was transformed by him could be passed down from generation to generation, otherwise he would be a little sorry for his efforts.

"Well, what the national teacher said today is of great importance. I need to think about it carefully and reply to the national teacher another day, okay?"

"Haha, then I'll respect Hou Jiayin. Anyway, Japan has not completely enclosed, and it will take at least some time to sort it out. Your Majesty can think about it slowly and not be in a hurry."

"The national teacher understands my difficulties, which is very good. No matter what the result is in the end, I will record the national teacher's intentions."

"Okay, let's talk about the issue of Japan's occupation and annexation. This may be the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of the whole world in the future. We must not make any mistakes, so as not to end the endless troubles!"

When talking about this, Zhu Di immediately expressed endless admiration for Tang Shaozhe's initial treatment methods.

All Japanese literate officials, nobles, merchants and samurai were killed, leaving only the illiterate basic people, and finally promoted the Chineseization of the Chinese community. At present, an excellent situation has emerged.

Tang Shaozhe and the cabinet had analyzed and discussed this policy. Although the cabinet was a little uncomfortable with the bloodiness in it - he felt that the killing was too heavy, he had to admit that Tang Shaozhe proposed a genius idea.

As long as this policy is implemented, the term Japan will no longer exist for up to 20 years. All the people of the Iwa tribe will eventually remember that they belong to a part of China. In another 50 years, Japan will even be blown away by the wind like ashes.

"... But the national teacher, this policy requires a huge occupying army to dispatch Japan. The domestic guards have not yet completed the training. I am worried that this may delay the speed of annexation of Japan."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about these things. Before the guards have completed the training, the Expeditionary Force of the Shenji Battalion can be held on this task. Furthermore, I suggest that your Majesty set up a new department to be responsible for the annexation of foreign territory."

"Oh? New department? I don't know what the so-called new department of the National Teacher should take care of?" Since Tang Shaozhe put his tentacles into the court, two new departments have been added. I don't know why he needs to build a new department.

"This department will be responsible for the task of forming local mercenaries in the new territory in the future. This time I conquered Japan, I found that many Japanese people were extremely easy to buy, and often had to pay a small price to collect a local army. Recruiting local people as guards will gradually liberate the burden of Ming soldiers, which is really a killing of two birds with one stone."

"Well, what the national teacher said is very true, but it is a good idea."
