Since Hu Weiyong, there have been no particularly famous ministers in the early Ming Dynasty. After all, those who were disobedient had their graves covered with tall grass.

The military generals were also very obedient. Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor who fought his way to power. Whatever their boss said was what they did and they just had to obey his orders.

If it is something else, you can still use your intelligence and talent, but when it comes to the issue of military power, whoever dares to provoke it these days is really thinking he has lived too long.

His Majesty will not play the game of leniency with you. You might be executed tomorrow just because you step into the morning court with your right foot first.

In the 13th year of Hongwu, when the Grand Marshal's Office was changed to the Five Military Marshal's Office, no one dared to say no.

Especially now.

"Regarding the separation of military and internal affairs, Minister Ru, you will be responsible for it. Please draw up a charter for us and submit it tomorrow."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that none of the civil and military officials had anything to say, he simply named them.

"I obey your order."

Ru Huang bowed and replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang set the tone, and none of the military officers on the right side of the morning court had any strange expression on their faces.

There were many illiterate people among the military officers, and they did not understand what the separation of military and politics meant. In fact, in the eyes of many military officers, it was probably just the addition of a logistics officer to manage military farms and the like.

In fact, many military officers find this point relatively easy to accept. They are also tired when they are engaged in farming. In this way, it seems that they have some time to rest after every fight?

That sounds pretty good.

As for power, it seems to have been weakened.

Never mind. His Majesty has already said that when fighting, everything is under the command of the generals. Isn't that enough?

Besides, if you don’t learn to comfort yourself, how can you say no to His Majesty at the morning court?

In fact, as far as civil and military officials are concerned, military officials are generally more obedient than civil officials. This is due to the differences in the environment in which they live for a long time.

The laws and disciplines in the army are strict, and fifty-four executions are common. Most military officers started out as small soldiers and are used to it.

In short, whatever Your Majesty says is right. Anyone who dares to say it is wrong will be killed.

What if your own interests are impacted?

Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord!

…

"Is that the Dong family?"

"I think so. They look a bit like him."

"You have met the boss, how come you don't even remember what he looks like?"

"How can they be the same? The boss was so close to me at that time. This one is too far away. I can't see clearly. Besides, we are ministers of Goryeo after all. Look at the people next to the boss, they are all Jinyiwei."

"That shouldn't be the case. The clothes the boss is wearing have dragon patterns on them. Only the royal family of the Ming Dynasty can have dragon patterns on them."

"That shouldn't be the Dong family, but this person is too similar to the Dong family. We can't say they are completely unrelated, we can only say they are exactly the same."

"Really? Hey, look, this guy is walking towards us."

"Stop talking. This is the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty. Who knows which prince it is? Pay your respects first."

Zhu Ying looked at the two people whispering in front of him, couldn't help but laugh, and walked straight towards them.

He was very familiar with one of these two people, the military general, the Han Chinese, Wei Guang.

There was another person he knew, although he had never met him. However, he had seen his portrait. He was a Korean, a civil official, Zhao Pang, the Korean Secret Secretary.

"What? You two can't recognize me when you see me?" Zhu Ying walked up to the two of them and said directly.

The two looked at each other, said a lot of gibberish to the translator next to them, and then gestured to the translator.

Snap! Snap!

Zhu Ying couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and walked up to pat Wei Guang's hat one by one.

Wei Guang was a little confused. Seeing this, he looked around and stood up and said in Chinese: "Boss?"

"You bastard, who else could it be but me?"

Zhu Ying scolded with a smile. Wei Guang was obviously much older than Zhu Ying, but there was nothing wrong with calling him bastard.

When he was in the Western Regions, in order to show off and to cover up his age, Zhu Ying once claimed to be the reincarnation of a living Buddha.

This statement is still firmly believed by most people under the Western Regions. Zhu Ying was only a teenager at the time, but he was so experienced that no one would believe it unless they said he was the reincarnation of a living Buddha.

"Boss, you...I...you..." Wei Guang was immediately surprised, then looked at the clothes on Boss, as well as the Jinyiwei clearing the way and the monks keeping a strict order.

Such a grand ceremony left some people speechless with shock.

"Just think of it as me joking with you." Zhu Ying said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Wei Guang immediately recalled the time several years ago when he followed his boss to expand the market from the Western Regions to the grasslands.

It was snowing heavily, and many brothers and the host gathered around the campfire to keep warm.

As men, it was freezing cold, so they mostly just boasted when chatting together. Zhu Ying and his men were also in a mess. Those who could follow the soldiers from the Western Regions to the grasslands were naturally his trusted guards.

At that time, Zhu Ying boasted that he was actually a descendant of a noble family in the Ming Dynasty and that he came to the Western Regions only to undergo a trial. Once he passed the trial, he would return to inherit the family fortune.

Although it was said in a joking tone, many people actually believed it. However, as a few years passed, the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce grew bigger and bigger, and everyone realized that the boss was really joking at the time.

But Wei Guang didn't expect that he would meet his boss again in Daming this time.

Only then did I realize that what the boss had said on the snowy grassland was actually true.

Not only that, the boss is a bit conservative. His real identity is not a Ming Dynasty noble, but a member of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

"Boss, I really... this is simply... too unbelievable." Wei Guang's eyes almost fell out and his mind went blank.

At this time, Guo Zhong, who was following Zhu Ying, could no longer bear it and frowned and said, "The one standing in front of you is His Royal Highness Chang Sun of the Ming Dynasty."

Guo Zhong didn't understand the situation. He saw a Goryeo envoy, but he kept calling "Duke" "Duke". It was simply an insult to the Ming royal family.

Zhu Ying waved his hand to interrupt what Guo Zhong wanted to say, and casually explained: "Wei Guang is a subordinate who has followed me for many years, just like Zhang Bo in the courtyard."

When Guo Zhong heard this, he was also stunned.

Isn’t this the envoy from Goryeo? How come he is under the command of His Royal Highness Changsun?

Jiang Li, who had been following quietly from behind, also suddenly had his pupils shrink.

He suddenly understood why the Jinyiwei always felt that something was missing and there seemed to be many loopholes in their investigation into Zhu Ying's background.

It turns out that His Highness has already extended his hand into Goryeo?

Fat Zhao couldn't help but bow subconsciously to show his respect to Zhu Ying, the boss, or His Royal Highness the Changsun of the Ming Dynasty.

My heart was in turmoil.

As a member of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in Goryeo, he fully understood what the word "dongjia" meant in the entire Goryeo.

However, when he met his boss now, he discovered that the actual person behind the scenes of the entire Goryeo was the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Ming Empire.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later. I'm going to meet someone first."

Zhu Ying said to Wei Guang with a smile.

Wei Guang had followed him for many years, from the Western Regions to the desert and grasslands, and had made considerable contributions, and his loyalty was unquestionable.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become a general in Goryeo.

Those who were able to become generals in Goryeo were basically those who had truly followed Zhu Ying in his campaigns to the west and the east.

After a few simple words, Wei Guang felt that he was no longer as unfamiliar with his boss. Hearing what his boss said, Wei Guang couldn't help but say, "Boss, why don't we go see the beauty that Lee Seong-gye sent us first?"

The main reason why Wei Guang dared to say this was that when he and his brothers followed their boss to fight and do business, their boss kept telling dirty jokes.

That was so sophisticated that many brothers were amazed. They felt like they had never heard so many dirty jokes in their lives.

So much so that now when he is leading troops in Goryeo, he would from time to time tell the dirty jokes that his boss had told him in the past, in order to shock the Goryeo people and let them feel the art of Chinese cultural language.

Dirty jokes are easily spread in military camps. Firstly, soldiers are basically composed of men, so it is inevitable that they will have some impure thoughts. Secondly, dirty jokes can easily bring superiors and subordinates closer together.

It can make the generals feel more recognized by the soldiers. These details are also very important for leading troops.

"You are a sensible guy. Okay, let's go and take a look first."

Zhu Ying said this with a smile, without any airs of a Ming Dynasty royal family.

He didn't need to argue specifically in front of his old subordinates. If he refused directly, it would easily make them sad, which was really unnecessary.

Unlike Wei Guang and Zhao Pang, Ye Yueqing and Zhao Xiangxi, as Goryeo princesses, were waiting far behind.

Before this, they had already been told that the distinguished guest who came to Tianjie Temple today was His Royal Highness Changsun of the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Yueqing and Zhao Xiangxi had done a lot of research on the Ming imperial family and subconsciously mistook it for Zhu Yunwen.

After all, Zhu Ying’s existence is still unknown even to the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Zhu Ying approaching, the two bowed and Ye Yueqing said respectfully in Chinese: "Princess Ye Yueqing of Goryeo greets His Highness."

At this time, Zhao Xiangxi's face looked a little aggrieved.

This should have been her title, but now as a maid, she didn't even have the right to speak.

"Why call him Your Highness? This is the boss. Yueqing, you have always been looking forward to meeting the boss. Now the boss is standing in front of you, how can you not recognize him?"

Wei Guang said from the side, this girl is really something, she guards her boss's portrait every day and treats it as a treasure.

Now that the real person is standing in front of me, how come I can’t recognize him?

Ye Yueqing was suddenly at a loss. In fact, when she saw Zhu Ying for the first time, she was extremely shocked. He was too similar to her boss.

So much so that during the journey that Zhu Ying had been on, Ye Yueqing kept telling herself in her heart that it was because she wanted to see her boss too much that she had hallucinations.

However, when Wei Guang said this, her little mouth couldn't help but open slightly.

"I heard that you wanted to see me." Zhu Ying said to Ye Yueqing with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
