Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
As for the rest, they are either stupid or evil. By abolishing the death penalty, they are trying to leave themselves a way out.
The Confucian sects of this era actually have something like this in mind. They monopolize the right to speak, and any emperor who obeys me is a good emperor; if you don't obey me, then you are not a good emperor.
As for what kind of good life you have allowed the people to live, how prosperous the country is, how many times the GDP has increased, how much farmers' income has increased, and how much land has been expanded abroad, are these important?
These are not important!
Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to say about this. As for his future temple name, he didn't want to say anything either.
Zhu Youxiao asked, and Li Xi naturally did not dare to neglect it. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, my father is in good health. After returning from Liaodong this time, my father missed Your Majesty very much. This time when I came here, my father specifically asked me to bring a gift for Your Majesty."
This is just a saying, and everyone can just listen to it for fun.
When the King of Korea came, Zhu Youxiao forced him to come, and he was frightened after he came. Whether it was the Ming army or the artillery. Although it was not aimed at Korea, it was still scary enough to see.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao still asked the King of Korea to follow him to the capital. As a result, the King of Korea was so scared that he dared not come, for fear that the Ming Dynasty would do something to him.
The King of Joseon finally went to Ming to discuss some matters with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Emperor would ease their burden. The best thing they could do was to give them some benefits and support, but they were only met with criticism and intimidation. In the end, they were told to join the fight against Japan, which caused panic among the people.
Under such circumstances, one can imagine the mood of the King of Korea. He did not dare to come to the capital and ran back to Korea directly.
People in Korea still miss the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and probably will never visit the Ming Dynasty in this lifetime.
Zhu Youxiao also smiled and nodded. At this time, he naturally had to pretend to be stupid.
"You seem sincere and methodical in your words, which is quite good. Your father has done a very good job in appointing you as the Crown Prince. It's getting late today, so go to bed early. We can discuss anything tomorrow, and then I'll take you somewhere."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xi quickly agreed.
After Li Xi left, Zhu Youxiao stood up, glanced at Wei Chao beside him, and said, "Take the gifts they sent, as well as the princess they brought with them, and send them all to the capital. Hand them all over to the Queen, and let her handle them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao agreed quickly.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao gave all the gifts and people to Empress Zhang was very simple: it was a sign of respect for Empress Zhang.
If she kept the Joseon princess by her side, it would be difficult for Empress Zhang to accept emotionally. After all, Empress Zhang had already given her two women this time.
As an emperor, sometimes I have to learn to be content, and at the same time I have to respect Empress Zhang.
The princess was first sent to Empress Zhang for training and to take good care of her. At the same time, Empress Zhang was also asked to arrange some matters in the palace so that there would be no trouble afterwards.
Wei Chao went out to arrange these matters.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Qi Yuangong standing beside him and asked, "What did your brother say? How are things going?"
"We're almost ready. There are still some things we don't understand, so we need to ask the Koreans. But I believe we'll have results soon." Qi Yuangong said quickly, "It just takes a few days to make some adjustments."
"That's perfect." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "I'll take them to see it when the time comes."
The next two days were very peaceful. Zhu Youxiao did not do anything. When he had nothing to do, he would call the Crown Prince of the King of Korea to chat with him, talk about the customs and culture of Korea, ask about the affairs of Korea and Japan, and briefly talk about the attitude that Korea and the Ming Dynasty should have towards Japan.
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with the attitude of the Crown Prince of Joseon in this matter. Compared with the King of Joseon, this Crown Prince was very thoughtful.
Although Li Xi tried his best to suppress his emotions, some of them still surfaced in his words. He was clearly dissatisfied with many of his father's policies. Was this a way to seek death?
