Chapter 441 Your Majesty, isn't this just ridiculous?
Just as King Wang Jeon and his minister Park Sung-sung were discussing how to learn from the Ming Dynasty, Eunuch Sun, who had returned to the guesthouse, was also having a headache over the day's events.
"Something's not right."
With a troubled expression, Eunuch Sun said, "This Korean... this King of Goryeo is too docile."
"Let's not talk about Crown Prince Chen and Crown Prince Ming."
"The key is that if you ask for three thousand warhorses, he will obediently give you three thousand warhorses."
“When we told him to build Ying'en Gate, he agreed to build it.”
“He even readily agreed to take the Silla maidservant back as a gift when we said we wanted to give her away.”
"What can we do?"
Sun, the eunuch, felt he must be going crazy.
Or maybe the Koreans have gone mad.
Which vassal king could tolerate the demands he made?
But Wang Zhuan obediently agreed!
Seeing the distressed look on Eunuch Sun's face, Yanda Mashiri couldn't help but laugh, his laughter full of schadenfreude.
“Silla maid.”
"Haha, Silla maid."
"Old Master Sun must bring the Silla maid back to Dengzhou."
"Don't you want to see Princess Fujin twisting the prince consort's ear?"
Sun, the eunuch, turned pale.
"It's hard to say whether the prince consort's ears will be twisted."
"Our dog's head will most likely be twisted off."
At this point, Eunuch Sun glanced at Yanda Mashiri again.
"Don't be so happy yet."
"The three thousand warhorses you requested have already been agreed to by the King of South Korea."
"They might be cursing you right now."
Yanda Mashiri laughed without caring at all.
"Why are you cursing me?"
“They would definitely call me a scumbag among the Mongols, willingly serving as the henchman of the Ming emperor.”
"But he was cursing Yanda Mashiri, what does that have to do with me, Liu Yanda?"
"Besides, what am I, Liu Yan?"
"Even if they were to criticize, they should criticize Liu Bilie."
Upon hearing what Yanda Mashili said, Eunuch Sun was completely stunned.
Liu Bilie?
No, did you get Kublai Khan's permission before changing his name to Liu Bilie?
However, there seems to be nothing wrong with that statement.
After all, Yanda Mashili had only surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, while Borjigin Kublai Khan led the Han Chinese hereditary lords to Karakorum, brought a group of relatives, and creatively established the Hening Pacification Commission.
Important note: According to the rules set by Kublai Khan, the traditional Han Chinese lands were divided into provinces, with the four provinces of Shanhe (mountains and rivers) even directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Secretariat. Meanwhile, the Pacification Commissions (Xuanweisi) were generally established in border areas, and traditionally, they were considered to belong to barbarian lands.
Hmm, it seems quite reasonable for a Mongol Khan to lead Han Chinese warriors to drink from the vast sea and seal the wolf's lair.
It seems that no one truly understood the dangers of nomadic peoples better than Liu Bilie.
So, turning a large number of Mongols into slaves was also part of Liu Bilie's plan?
So, it seems quite reasonable that the Mongols were the most enthusiastic in fighting the Yuan Dynasty, while the Han Chinese landlords in the north were the most enthusiastic in fighting the Ming army.
No, my scalp feels a little itchy.
It seems like it's starting to develop a brain?
Seeing the bewildered look on Eunuch Sun's face, Yanda Mashiri actually took out a book from his pocket, opened a page, and began to read aloud.
The classic text says, "Even if barbarians have rulers, it is not as good as the Chinese not having rulers."
The Book of Poetry says: "The Rong and Di tribes are to be subdued, and the Jing and Shu tribes are to be punished."
"..."
Sun, the eunuch, looked at Yanda Mashiri with a completely bewildered expression once again.
Fine.
as long as you are happy.
Anyway, as the prince consort once said, this world itself is very abstract.
I'm a Han Chinese, yet I know fewer characters than Liu Yanda. Is that even reasonable?
No, are these messy, trivial matters something our family needs to worry about?
Shouldn't our family be considering the issue of Silla maids now?
After all, it was requested on behalf of the prince consort, and Princess Fujin just happened to be in Dengzhou Prefecture...
……
Yang Shaofeng has neither the time nor the inclination to pay attention to Korea lately.
What are all the troubles of Goryeo compared to my problems?
The Koreans are merely selling out some of their own interests; what I, the official, am facing is one of two age-old problems.
Urge them to have a baby!
Who can understand, my family? I, Yang, only got married during the Spring Festival of the third year of Hongwu's reign. Now, it's only halfway through the fourth year of Hongwu's reign, and I'm already facing pressure to have a baby!
Moreover, the person who facilitated this birth is no ordinary individual.
Empress Ma specially dispatched a female official to Dengzhou Prefecture and clearly told Yang Shaofeng: "Hurry up and have a baby. As your mother-in-law, I want to hold my grandson."
Incidentally, there was another problem that gave Yang Shaofeng a major headache.
Emperor Zhu has already decided to arrange Zhu Biao's marriage!
Goodness, how old is Zhu Biao now?
A sixteen-year-old boy getting married?
That won't do!
Although some unofficial histories from later generations say that Chang was killed by Lady Lü.
However, in Yang Shaofeng's view, Lu Shi may not be a good person, but Zhu Chongba's family is the real culprit who caused Chang's death.
Zhu Chongba, that old man, was even the person primarily responsible for Zhu Biao's death.
A sixteen-year-old boy marries a young girl of similar age. Zhu Biao has to both create a child and handle a mountain of official business.
Isn't this blatantly treating people like livestock?
Yang Shaofeng remembered reading a sentence in a book before he transmigrated.
“When young, one’s energy is at its peak and overflows… one’s desires are strong and one’s passions are intense, and one’s sexual relations are excessive. It is like a flower in a garden that will wither before it blooms… The ancients married at the age of thirty, and their considerations were profound.”
Zhu Chongba married Empress Ma when he was twenty-five, while Zhu Biao married a woman surnamed Chang when he was a teenager.
So, Mr. Deng, you've been practicing eugenics, but you completely disregard your son's life or death just to have a grandson?
Of course, it's your business whether you care about Zhu Biao's life or death.
But Zhu Biao is my brother-in-law. If he had died earlier, would you, old man, have allowed me to be as comfortable as I am now?
Who doesn't know that only Zhu Biao is your real son, and the rest are just your playmates?
Yang Shaofeng became increasingly unhappy as he thought about it.
He simply went to Dengzhou Medical College in person and found the imperial physician Yang Qing.
"Do you dare to write a memorial denouncing His Majesty's faults?"
Yang Shaofeng went straight to the point, saying, "His Majesty wants His Highness the Crown Prince to get married immediately, and the Empress is also urging me to have a child as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty's feelings are understandable."
"But isn't Your Majesty being ridiculous?"
Yang Qing blinked, her gaze towards Yang Shaofeng filled with disdain.
What do you mean by saying that the Empress's feelings are understandable, but His Majesty is just being unreasonable?
So you're afraid to anger the Empress, so you're specifically targeting His Majesty, right?
Despite his disdain, Yang Qing readily agreed to Yang Shaofeng's request.
It was just writing a memorial to the throne criticizing Emperor Zhu.
What's the big deal.
I cannot let him run rampant!
