Xu Hao's guess is not entirely accurate, one of the reasons for Zhu Di's silence is that he knows Li Fangyuan, Li Fangyuan went to the capital to pay tribute to horses a few years ago, and met Zhu Di when he passed through Beiping.

Because of their similar personalities, ages, identities and experiences, Zhu Di and Li Fangyuan are very verbal, and Zhu Di supports Li Fangyuan to inherit the throne of North Korea.

Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao generally focused their attention on the strong enemy in the north, and rarely paid attention to the situation in Korea. For Zhu Di, North Korea is a submissive vassal state, and what he values more is the heartfelt recognition and reverence of the Korean king's subjects for the supreme emperor of the Celestial Empire, and he is eager to be canonized and praised by the emperor.

Xu Hao's suggestion made Zhu Di feel refreshed, for a long time, China's national policy towards the surrounding small countries was mostly non-interference in their internal affairs, a mentality of looking down on goodwill and contempt and ignorance, which can be regarded as the benevolence-based advocated by Confucianism.

Xu Hao's view of life is just the opposite, there is no goodwill with neighbors in the exchanges between countries, only cold realities and interests, even if the interests cause the flood of other countries with their own hands.

One of the major drawbacks of the tributary system is that while satisfying the vanity of the emperor, it also fills the private pockets of officials and merchants, which is not beneficial to the country.

Xu Hao didn't expect that Zhu Di, who was moved at the beginning, refused to meddle in the internal affairs of North Korea in a blink of an eye, because King Yan didn't want to leave a stigma, at this time Xu Hao suddenly realized that Zhu Di standing in front of him was the Yongle Emperor who was so happy in history.

In history, Li Fangyuan staged a coup d'état and killed the son Li Fangshuo, and then defeated the fourth brother Li Fanggan, forced the second brother Li Fangguo to give up the country, and sent an envoy to ask Zhu Yunwen for canonization and recognition.

At that time, Zhu Yunwen knew that Li Fangyuan had committed the following crimes, and because of the war with Zhu Di, he was at a disadvantage, and sent an edict to the Ministry of Rites, "The country of North Korea is the country of Rites, and the matter of resignation and inheritance." …… If there is no loss of heavenly principles and things that are contrary to human morality, let other countries be independent. "Recognized Li Fangyuan's status and gave him the title of Prince of Decree, you must know that Zhu Yuanzhang has always refused to recognize Li Chenggui's status as the lord of the country, and the title is the right to know the state affairs of Korea.

Later, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he generously did not pursue the past, and Li Chengfang became the king of North Korea recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and gave gold seals, edicts, crown clothes, nine chapters, Guiyu, Peiyu, concubine Zhucui Qizhai crown, Xia Wei, gold pendant, scripture color coin table and so on.

Xu Hao vaguely remembered that North Korea began with Li Chengfang and continued to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and various innovations such as the emergence of Korean characters began with Li Chengfang, and what about the Zhu Dynasty at that time? Millions of royals have long since disappeared into the long river of history.

Seeing that Zhu Di's stubbornness is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Hao was a little disappointed, he originally wanted to continue to cause the struggle of various ethnic groups, deepen the hatred between various ethnic groups, and when the time was right, so that North Korea would send troops to completely exterminate the Jianzhou Jurchens of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then the Ming Dynasty would send troops to occupy the entire Liaodong, increase immigration and set up counties.

Regardless of whether Jihua is feasible or not, at least you have to try, the problem is that it is very troublesome without Zhu Di's support now. But in the next few years, all the attention of the Yan Wangfu is to fight south.

When he returned home in the evening, Xu Hao immediately wrote a letter to North Korea to resolutely advocate the adoption of the Ming Dynasty, and the official position was equivalent to that of the prime minister, Minister Chung Daochuan. In the name of Jin Yiwei, reminding the other party that Li Fangyuan may rebel, the court has obtained conclusive evidence.

Handing over the secret letter to Mu Yi, Xu Hao smiled and said, "This time I will give you and Mu Hui a great credit." Go to the Korean country to kill the rebels, and afterwards the Korean monarchs and ministers will definitely write a book to praise you and others, and the rewards will not be less. And will help cover up the trouble of sending troops without authorization, and the action must be fast, and it may be too late if it is late. ”

Mu Yi said: "The third brother is in Tianjin Wei, take care of your salary." ”

After Mu Yi left, Zhou Peng asked, "Why did Gongzi choose Zheng Daochuan instead of Li Fangyuan?" ”

Xu Hao explained: "Li Fangyuan is shrewd, capable, and courageous, and he will never obey me in everything as the lord of the country, so why did you choose him?" But Zheng Daochuan is old and conservative and easy to control, he is a wise master, hehe! Did you know that the son was actually only eight years old? ”

Even though Zhou Peng has been a doorman for so long, he still feels that he can't understand Xu Hao's thinking and why he is so keen on the small countries around him. Fortunately, putting aside Xu Hao's ill intentions, at least it is obviously right to support Li Fangshuo, the son of the orthodox world, this time.

Xu Hao suddenly asked, "Has Brother Zhou ever thought about serving as an ambassador to North Korea?" It's a good errand. ”

Zhou Peng said in surprise: "I have never held such an official position, what does the son mean?" ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "Everything is created from scratch, foreign countries set up embassies for each other, the gentleman can not speak for profit and the country must have for profit." Forget it, it's a pity that sooner or later, the so-called ambassador will turn into a degenerate and become another criminal evidence of the North Koreans' verbal and written criticism of China. ”

Suddenly, Xu Hao had a deep sense of powerlessness, a helplessness to do anything in vain, the chronic disease of the feudal dynasty can only be completely eradicated after the big break, otherwise it is a dead cycle, the biggest obstacle to the reform comes from the emperor officials and even the world's scholars, the biggest beneficiaries of the results of the reform are still them, the so-called scolding the cook when they are full.

The next day, the imperial court sent a messenger to order King Yan to discuss the sins of King Zhou, Zhu Di wrote to ask for forgiveness of the fifth brother, and the song was sent back to the capital, and all the kings of the world successively wrote to the court to ask for forgiveness, Zhu Yunwen hesitated.

Qitai and Huang Zicheng persuaded the emperor not to ask for the benevolence of women, this is the time to cut the rights of the vassal king, the opportunity cannot be missed, Zhu Yunwen then ruthlessly abolished Zhu Hu as a concubine, and moved to Menghua, Yunnan.

On August 15th, the Xu family put up a lantern and sprinkled a wedding card, and according to custom, Princess Yan sent someone to bring the wedding bed and other things to make the bed.

The next morning, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and there was an endless stream of officials and squires who came to congratulate the gifts, and everyone was proud to receive the invitation, which somewhat diluted the increasingly tense atmosphere in Beiping.

Even Wu Gao, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Yang Wen, who had been reinstated from their official posts, had to come to congratulate them in person because of the Yan Palace, and Ping An relied on the identity of the emperor's relatives and turned a blind eye to the former hatred.

Xu Hao, who received the report, greeted him with a smile and said with a smile: "Thank you two adults for your face, please come in." ”

Yang Wen reluctantly smiled, and then put on a face and didn't bother to say a word. Wu Gao said with a smile: "Gongzi Xu is polite, I and Governor Wu will not go in, the military order is in hand, and we will rush to Liaodong to take up our posts immediately." ”

Xu Hao asked: "Congratulations to your Excellency, dare to ask what position you are holding in Liaodong?" ”

Wu Gao smiled and said: "Thanks to Bixia's attention, I am ordered to be the general of Liaodong, and Lord Yang is the general of Liaodong." By the way, I heard that the second son of General Geng was about to go to Shanhaiguan to train his troops, and he was promoted to the governor. ”

"Geng Xuan?" Xu Hao pretended not to hear the faint demonstration in Wu Gao's words, "What about General Ping'an?" ”

Yang Wen said coldly: "General Ping is the governor of the right army, and Miyun is the commander." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the officials and generals who stopped around changed slightly, Wu Gao'an and others were all sent by the imperial court, and they were successively appointed as the highest military generals from Miyun to Shanhaiguan and even Liaodong, obviously the imperial court began to guard against King Yan.

Xu Hao said goodbye to Wu Gao as if he was fine, looked at the officials around him, noticed that Changshi Gecheng's expression was very calm, smiled at him and turned around and entered the gate.

Inside, Xu Qingtang was entertaining the guests with a smile and said, "It's not too early, let's change into auspicious clothes and set off." ”

Soon Xu Hao rode out on a tall white horse wearing a big red flower, followed by twelve red boys, twenty-four drummers, thirty-six musicians, sixteen strong men carrying a sedan chair with extremely bright decorations, followed by a long line of Xu Fu's subordinates carrying cages, and made a big circle around the inner city.

Both sides of the road were crowded with people watching the excitement, Xu Hao kept arching his hands in all directions, tossing for more than half an hour, and finally entered the Yanwang Mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I was blocked by the women's army led by the five county lords, and the head and face were beaten, especially the Yongan county lord Zhu Yuying's quick movements, a rolling pin in his hand waved a tiger and a tiger, and the female generals around him were fierce one by one, and the men who beat were crying wolves and howling, hugging their heads and running around.

Xu Hao, who was holding his head, smiled bitterly, knowing that he regretted not starting today, he should not have encouraged Zhu Yuying to train female generals.

Zhu Yuying, the lord of Yong'an, was heroically blocked in front of the groom, raised his head and said proudly: "I'm happy to bring the money." ”

Xu Hao regretted that he shouldn't have organized the wedding so early, if Zhu Gaoxu and other brothers were by his side, why should he be afraid of Zhu Yuying? glanced at the murder weapon wrapped in a layer of red cloth, and said stupidly: "Cousin, you raise your noble hand, and someone will send happy money." ”

finally sent away this group of domineering and money-greedy aunts, and some women blocked the door and asked Xu Hao to make a hypnotic poem, Princess Yan and other female relatives stood upstairs with a smile and watched the excitement.

Xu Hao shook his head helplessly, he couldn't give fans a song, last night he turned over the hypnotic poems since the Tang and Song dynasties, asked Zhou Peng to change it, and immediately said it.

As a result, the big guy was quite satisfied, Xu Hao smiled secretly in his heart, if it was in Jinling, he would definitely not be able to hide it, and Princess Yan, like the late Queen Ma, didn't like women to read more poetry and books.

It stands to reason that the mother's family has to put on a big banquet first, even the royal family is not exempt from vulgarity, but the emperor has just died.

Replaced by three glasses of vegetarian wine, the time for eating wine was changed to an entertainment program in which the ladies took turns to tease the groom's officials, and the chaotic customs of various ethnic groups, such as jumping braziers and jumping saddles, were all moved.

Xu Hao protested: "This is all what the bride does, I don't do it as a gentleman." ”

The ladies naturally did not follow in unison, and the time for the trouble passed quickly, and Princess Yan smiled: "The auspicious time has arrived, don't embarrass a couple." ”

Xu Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the bride who walked out slowly, for fear of being teased again, and stepped forward a few steps to uncover a corner to verify the truth.

In the midst of the uproar, Xu Hao was satisfied, grabbed his daughter-in-law's hand without saying a word, and fled. (To be continued......)
