"Your Highness, Master Yang and General Ma are here.[]
"Zou Yi walked quickly to Zhu Changluo's side with small steps and whispered a report.
Zhu Changluo put down the information he had collected indifferently about the Japanese army, raised his head and was stunned for a moment, then said in a warm voice: "Hey, why is it you? Zou Yi, your wound has not fully healed, why don't you take a good rest? These generals There are other people around you, so you should take good care of your health. I still have many things to do, waiting for a healthy Zou Yi to do, and what I want is not a sick child."
After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Zou Yi's heart was churning, and his whole body was suddenly full of strength as if he had taken Shiquan Dabu Pills. Even his back, which was still aching slightly, felt much more relaxed in an instant. He tried his best to calm down his excited mood, and replied in a trembling tone: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, slave slave slave, I am full of energy. After these days, the wounds have healed to some extent, and there is no trace of them anymore." It¡¯s in the way¡±
He smiled extremely brightly, and after a moment of pause, he continued: "This servant is used to serving His Highness. Not to mention being more considerate than those servants and guards, I am used to serving His Highness tea and pouring water to remind him of the day. If If you don't do it for a day, you will feel uncomfortable and tight all over your body. If Your Highness is really considerate of this slave, then let this slave continue to serve His Highness."
Zhu Changluo smiled helplessly, thinking that the imperial doctor who came with the mission and the medical officer of the Joseon Palace had said that Zou Yi's injury was no longer serious, so he no longer forced Zou Yi to recuperate. He had become accustomed to Zou Yi over the years. With Yi by his side, Zou Yi was not around these days, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Perhaps this is the reason why the words of those emperors or princes from the eunuchs around them are often more powerful than those of those close to them, right? In fact, if you think about it, as long as a eunuch has been by your side for more than a certain period of time, it's hard to get close to him or not, it's just a habit.
"Let them come in." Zhu Changluo waved his hand and stopped mentioning the matter of letting Zou Yi recuperate.
Zou Yi smiled even brighter, with a face like a blooming chrysanthemum. He nodded, took a few steps back, then turned and left.
"Your Highness, Yang Hao, comes to greet you." After Yang Hao and Ma Gui came in, they kowtowed to Zhu Changluo and saluted.
"You two adults, please excuse yourself. I have told you two adults a long time ago that in a foreign country, you don't need to adhere to these etiquettes." Zhu Changluo stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to give him some support.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yang Hao and Ma Gui stood up and bowed their hands to Zhu Changluo.
"Your Highness, although this is not the Ming Dynasty, don't say that this is North Korea, a tributary of the Ming Dynasty. Even in other places that do not belong to the Ming Dynasty, this courtesy of a courtier is absolutely indispensable. Moreover, Your Highness is the prince and future crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. , This courtesy of a courtier must be a little sloppy." Yang Hao did not put down his hands like Ma Gui, but continued to clasp his fists and said righteously, with a serious face.
Next to him, Ma Gui frowned slightly, feeling that the manager next to him was too flattering. As we all know, His Majesty the Emperor has been hesitating about the crown prince for more than ten years, and has been fighting with the courtiers for more than ten years. How come it comes to the words of the adult next to him, and it seems that the smiling eldest prince in front of him seems to be determined. Like a prince? Isn't this Lord Manager afraid that these words will reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor in the capital and cause His Majesty the Emperor's displeasure? Shaking his head slightly, he really couldn't figure out why the old fox-like person next to him would say such taboo words in order to flatter the eldest prince. I really can't figure it out
Although Yang Hao looked serious and straight, he could still see the reaction of the famous general next to him. He sneered in his heart, a martial artist is a martial artist. Not to mention that as early as in the capital, the prince in front of him seemed to have the intention to win over him. However, what he said seemed a bit taboo, but everyone with a discerning eye knew that, with the help of the eldest prince The prestige established by the previous great victory, coupled with the killing of Kobayakawa Hideaki, the former adopted son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japan a few days ago, if no special circumstances occur, I believe that when His Highness the Grand Prince returns to the capital, even His Majesty the Emperor will I am afraid there is no reason to refuse the appointment of the crown prince. Moreover, if the Ming and North Korean coalition forces can put down the Japanese rebellion while the eldest prince is in Korea this time, the appointment of the crown prince will probably be confirmed.
Thinking of this, he became even more disdainful of the warriors around him. You must know that although there are countless ministers in the Ming Dynasty who support the eldest prince as the crown prince, whether they are sincere or have to do so, but as far as he knows, they really put aside Apart from chatting with a few people, there are relatively few concerns about becoming a "big prince's party". Of course, Yang Hao also knows that this is only on the surface. In fact, he has become a "big prince's party" secretly. , he didn¡¯t know. But in his heart he was like a bright mirror.?, in any case, this is the time to join the "Great Prince's Party". If you wait until the First Prince becomes the Crown Prince before showing your goodwill, the effect will be a bit weaker.
Zhu Changluo was a little stunned. He never expected that Yang Hao would show his kindness at this time. His mind was spinning, and although he only had a rough guess, it did not prevent him from accepting the kindness of Yang Hao, who was now the first person in charge of North Korea. If he could get Yang Hao's allegiance, then his purpose of coming to North Korea would be , it is much easier to complete.
Of course, Zhu Changluo would not have any objections to "Escape History" Yang Hao because of a "History of the Ming Dynasty" written by the Manchus. Now, he has long learned not to stick to history books when looking at people. That is the biggest misleading, not to mention, He knew very well that although Yang Hao had a somewhat bad reputation in Chinese history, the evaluation of Yang Hao in North Korea's "Records of the Ri Dynasty" was completely different from that in "History of the Ming Dynasty". Yang Hao was regarded by North Korea as The great hero in the movie, after his death, his memorial tablet has been worshiped by Koreans for hundreds of years.
Smiling at Yang Hao, Zhu Changluo said: "Master Yang, these words cannot be said nonsense. My father has his own concerns about the matter of establishing a heir, and it is not something we can discuss arbitrarily."
"Yes, yes, His Highness said that I made a mistake. I made a mistake." Yang Hao looked frightened on the surface, but he didn't take it to heart. Zhu Changluo's words made him well prepared. At this moment He was still vaguely excited, and he knew very well that although Zhu Changluo did not say anything about accepting him, of course, if Zhu Changluo really said something about accepting him, it would make him consider his future stance, but Zhu Changluo's word "we" invisibly Not only did it bring them closer, it also showed everything.
Zhu Changluo smiled and looked at the two people in front of him, and couldn't help but think a little too far. After agreeing to send troops to North Korea again, Zhu Yijun immediately appointed Xie Jie, Yang Hao, and Ma Gui to prepare for aid to North Korea. From this personnel arrangement, it can be seen that Zhu Yijun really took great pains. The last time the ministers responsible for aiding the Ming Dynasty were Song Yingchang and Li Rusong. The two men were both civil and military, and had similar levels. However, they also caused dissatisfaction with the other, and even caused mutual discord.
At that time, Song Yingchang was the North Korean manager, and Li Rusong was the chief military officer preparing for Japan, which also had the title of admiral. In terms of official titles, the Ming Dynasty did not expressly stipulate that the status of the general manager was higher than that of the admiral. However, judging from the practice and the Ming Dynasty's deliberate suppression of military generals, the status of the civil officer's general officer was certainly higher than that of the military attache's admiral. Although Li Rusong is the admiral, he should listen to Song Yingchang's advice, but there are always exceptions in everything. Who is Li Rusong? He was the emperor's confidant and favored general. Therefore, his status as an admiral was not lower than that of Jing Lue. At least Li Rusong did not think that he had a lower status than Jing Lue. As a result, neither of them cared. Without anyone, civil and military forces were fighting each other, and the atmosphere was so chaotic that major events were almost missed.
Judging from this appointment, Zhu Yijun obviously learned the lesson from the last time and added a governor above the governor and admiral. The governor also held the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so the governor became a supervisor. This is definitely better than the governor. Jing Lue and Admiral are much more prominent. According to the information Zhu Changluo received, Zhu Yijun originally planned to let the manager be responsible for logistics coordination, the admiral be responsible for forward operations, and the governor-general be responsible for managing the manager and the admiral, coordinating all related matters, so as to better prevent conflicts caused by disagreements between the manager and the admiral. .
Of course, there is nothing that can be done about this. Although the position of the governor seems to be very prominent and he can definitely control the admiral, but compared with the governor and the manager, it is difficult to judge who is older and who is younger. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, sometimes the governor was more prominent than the governor, and sometimes the governor was more prominent than the governor, depending on who held these two positions. Obviously, Zhu Yijun also thought of this, so he asked the governor Xie Jie to hold the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. In this way, the status of the governor was highlighted.
However, is this really possible? Zhu Changluo laughed silently. If that were the case, Yang Hao would not be impeached and forced away by seizing an excuse that was not a handle.
"Your Highness, I wonder what the reason is for the general coming here this time?" While Zhu Changluo was lost in thought, Ma Gui asked directly.
Zhu Changluo frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh. He could predict from Ma Gui's respectful but distant tone that it would be a bit difficult to conquer Ma Gui, or at least it would take a lot of effort. Putting aside this concern for the time being, he pointed to the two chairs at the bottom with a smile and said: "The two adults will sit down and talk first. I asked the two adults to come over. We really have something to discuss."
