Chapter 355 The final candidate for the King of Japan
But no matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang understands the truth, as an emperor, he still has strong suspicion.
No matter who is sent to Japan, the people recommended by the ministers can take charge of their own affairs.
But the biggest problem is that these people's ambitions are obvious.
Now that he is still there, their ambition can be the motivation to work hard, but what if he is no longer there?
What he wants is eternal peace and unification of the world, not death and the destruction of the country, or like the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, where the empire is unified in name only, and the kings will not pay attention to it when something really happens.
The purpose of entrusting oneself to a clan is to serve as a vassal screen, to defend the imperial court from enemies and to govern the frontiers.
But what if in the future, these vassal princes develop disobedience and the emperor cannot suppress them?
He is no longer young. Who knows how many more years he can live "800"?
The prince is kind and kind. Although he has a high prestige now, he is not ruthless enough. It is hard to say how he will respond if his brothers rebel in the future.
To be on the safe side, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to send the ministers he was close to and trusted to the palace in batches to make final inquiries.
In the Fengxian Hall, the lights flickered.
Li Shanchang leaned on crutches and sat on the embroidered pier, his eyes lowered.
Beside him, Tang He looked reserved and solemn.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair. After waiting for a long time, seeing that both of them were silent, he could only take the initiative to speak.
"There are no kings and ministers today. After all these years, is it possible that we can't tell the truth?"
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Shanchang stood up quickly and made a gesture of kneeling down.
Tang He also stood there, looking nervous.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "Tang He, you and I are old brothers who grew up together naked! Do you think we will harm you?"
Tang He quickly shook his head and was about to explain, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already changed the topic to Li Shanchang.
"Back then, you and Mr. Qingtian helped us together. At that time, we treated each other as teachers. Is it possible that now that I have become emperor, you and I have become divorced?"
Li Shanchang hurriedly replied: "I have absolutely no intention of doing this, but it's just a matter of great importance. I am getting older, and my knowledge and reactions are not as good as before. I am worried that I will say the wrong thing, delaying your majesty's important events, and delaying the future of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that this was just hypocrisy.
He hummed softly, took out the memorials from the princes, signaled to the waiting eunuchs, and handed them to Li Shanchang and Tang He.
"See for yourselves, even the fourth child is pestering us and wants to be the King of Japan."
"Don't we know what they are thinking? I came to you today just to hear the truth. We want to know who is more suitable.
Li Shanchang did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would say this.
During this period, he has been trying to avoid being punished in order to protect himself.
He had some dirty things with Hu Weiyong before, and he knew it, and Zhu Yuanzhang must know about it.
I thought that even if Zhu Yuanzhang would not do anything to him, he would never trust him again.
But now it seems that I have thought too much.
As for Tang He, he seemed reckless, but he was very shrewd in his heart, otherwise he would not have named Zhu Yuanzhang, who was inferior to him in status, as his lord.
For a moment, there was silence in the hall, and the monarch and his ministers fell into silence again.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but become a little anxious when he saw that the two of them were still silent.
He slapped the table and was about to get angry, but Tang He spoke timidly.
"Your Majesty, we people licked blood because the court refused to give us a way to live. We did it to live a good life, and then we fought hard for a fortune."
"Although you are the emperor, your original intention is not much different from ours. In this case, you just choose someone who is kind and can govern the place.
"They are all your sons anyway, how can they betray you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and looked at Tang He in disbelief.
He thought that his attitude was a sign of sincerity.
But Tang He's answer was obviously perfunctory. There was still more than one kind prince, and who could guarantee that the other prince was just pretending?
It was obvious that Tang He was unwilling to wade into this muddy water, but he had already made his stance known, so he couldn't force him any more.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to Li Shanchang.
The latter looked strange and reluctantly spoke after a while.
"Your Majesty, since King Yan is determined to go to Japan, why don't you fulfill his filial piety?"
Hearing this, Yi Yuanzhang was stunned.
He looked at Li Shanchang and said, "You don't know what the fourth child is thinking?"
Li Shanchang was noncommittal and kept talking about his own opinions...
"The King of Yan is famous in the north. If he is left in the north, he will be a threat to the court if he manages the business properly in the future."
"But if we move him to Japan, he will lose popularity and strength. Even if he has other ideas, he will have no chance."
"As for the other princes, they either lack combat experience or have never tried to govern. If they go to Japan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to govern Japan properly!"
It was obvious that Li Shanchang planned to help no one. Rather than offending the princes and princes in the court, it seemed more cost-effective to give Zhu Di a favor.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang not understand his thoughts? Seeing that the two of them, like the previous ministers, were unwilling to express their opinions directly, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer persistent.
"We understand, you go back first and let us think about it again!"
After hearing this, the two people retreated as if they had been granted amnesty.
Seeing the door slowly closing, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After becoming an emperor, he was really alone.
These days, he has met too many ministers. These people are either trying to figure out their own thoughts or trying to protect themselves.
As for those who actually expressed their stance, they were mostly officials who had been won over by the prince.
Sitting alone in the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if a stone was weighing on his heart.
He wanted his descendants to be ambitious, but he didn't want them to cause trouble.
After some weighing, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of a person, a person who had never been mentioned by officials.
1.0 "We have come to draw up a decree and confer the title of King of Dongying on the twelve sons of Zhu Bai. We have ordered the Ministry of Personnel to select subordinate officials and prepare for the vassalage from now on."
Zhu Bai was only about ten years old and had no popularity in the court, let alone any power.
Such a person is a little transparent in the court, so no one would mention him at all before.
Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement was not only to better manage Japan, but also to defeat the prince and officials.
The imperial edict was sent out quickly, and time was boiling again.
Those princes who failed were worried and even regretted exposing their ambitions too early.
And those ministers who had stood in line before were also terrified, worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would suppress them.
However, in the following period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take any action, not even using Jin Yiwei to conduct a secret investigation. .
