Zhu Jiancai has been very low-key in recent years, and these delicious and delicious people have gained a lot of weight. They sit there and look like a harmless rich marquis.

But Zhu Yicheng knew very well that Zhu Jiancai was not a sheep. Although the ambitions of the heroes back then had disappeared, the tiger was still a tiger, and once released, it would still be a human being.

However, Zhu Jiancai no longer has the opportunity to compete for the world. Both Zhu Yicheng and Zhu Jiancai, who are at the top, are very clear about this. Even if Zhu Jiancai is released from the capital now, with the stability and strong strength of the Ming Dynasty, he has no chance to raise another army.

Therefore, Zhu Jian is a smart person and a person who knows how to keep a low profile. Otherwise, when the heroes were competing for the past, they would not have stood out, and they would not have escaped without losing their entire body.

"Can you still get used to it in Beijing?" Zhu Yicheng looked at Zhu Jiancai carefully and asked in a peaceful tone.

"Go back to the emperor, the capital is the best place in the world, so I am naturally accustomed to it." Zhu Jiancai quickly answered respectfully.

"I heard that you have fallen in love with singing music these days and often entertain yourself in the mansion?"

Zhu Jiancai nodded and said, "I was born in the countryside and don't understand the elegant style of chanting poems and paintings. I just listen to some small songs. I just learn to sing a few songs on weekdays, which makes the emperor laugh."

"It is a good thing to have a hobby, it is better than doing nothing. Besides, no matter how high or low a hobby is, singing a song is a good thing, so what's wrong?"

"The emperor is wise..." Zhu Jiancai hurriedly returned.

Zhu Yicheng asked him what songs he had sang recently, and Zhu Jiancai did not hide it from him. As the two continued to talk about this topic, it seemed that Zhu Yicheng was very interested in Zhu Jiancai's hobby. He asked a few more questions, and Zhu Jiancai gradually relaxed and was not as restricted as he was at the beginning. He even lit up his voice at Zhu Yicheng's request and sang a song in front of the emperor, which made Zhu Yicheng applaud.

After chatting casually, the atmosphere became much more harmonious, and there was no solemnity at the beginning. After talking for a while, Zhu Yicheng asked about Zhu Jiancai's wife and children's family affairs again. Zhu Jiancai also answered in a lot of ways, without any concealment.

"Can you know what happened in the court these days?" Zhu Jian's youngest son, who had just passed 100 days last month, suddenly turned to ask about political affairs.

Zhu Jiancai was stunned and quickly replied: "I am just idle and nobles, not just in charge of military and political affairs. At home, I can only read the palace newspapers sent by the court, or I may hear a few words when I encounter a few adults drinking and chatting. As for the other ministers, I am not very clear, and I don't know what the emperor asked?"

"How can this be known about the Liaodong strategy set by the imperial court before?" Zhu Yicheng asked directly.

Zhu Jiancai nodded and said, "I know this. This is the emperor's feat of regaining Liaodong. The emperor is far-sighted and admires him very much. I..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Yicheng waved his hand: "The Liaodong Strategy, the newspaper only wrote a rough outline. Today I will tell you carefully." Then, in Zhu Jiancai's surprise and surprised eyes, Zhu Yicheng told the other party about the deployment of the entire Liaodong Strategy. In addition to the relevant personnel, ordinary court officials did not know about this deployment at all. As for Zhu Jiancai, a leisurely marquis, naturally, it was impossible for him to know about it.

But today Zhu Yicheng suddenly recruited Zhu Jiancai into the palace and talked about this topic directly. In this way, Zhu Jiancai had already felt a little turbulent in his heart like a stagnant water.

"Does the emperor plan to use me? And he is leading troops in Liaodong?" Zhu Jiancai thought so in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was impossible. Because the highest military commander of Liaodong strategy set by the court was Dong Dashan, and Ma Gongcheng from Shanxi was used as a restraint, and with the two civil and military officials in North Korea, where would he have his place?

Let’s not talk about the first two people for now. Their status is simply not comparable to Zhu Jiancai. Moreover, whether it is Dong Dashan or Ma Gongcheng, their ability to lead troops is one of the best in the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention Zhu Jiancai, I’m afraid that no one in the army can compete with them.

Even in North Korea, Huang Taohuan and Zhang Fei, the literary and military, have outstanding abilities and are even more trusted by Zhu Yicheng. Where is Zhu Jiancai's turn?

But why did Zhu Yicheng specifically talk about this to Zhu Jiancai? For a moment, Zhu Jiancai couldn't help but wonder. If Zhu Yicheng was here to test himself today, but he didn't look like him! After all, if he wanted to test himself, it would be impossible to talk about the topic to the Liaodong strategic deployment. But if he had to use himself? There was no possibility. The Liaodong strategy had been decided long ago, and all the leaders and generals were also arranged one by one. Although his so-called marquis was of high title, he had no real power. How could he replace him in this situation?

But if that is not the case, then what does Zhu Yicheng mean? Zhu Jiancai couldn't help but wonder. After thinking about it, he finally came to a possible conclusion. Perhaps Zhu Yicheng planned to let himself counsel on military affairs and be someone's subordinate to help. There might be no other possibility.

But even so, Zhu Jiancai couldn't help but be moved. You should know that he, a hero who once dominated the world and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, has almost lost all his power. Although he lives a wealthy life, he feels lost in his heart.

If you have the chance, Zhu Jiancai really wants to lead the troops again, even if he is a deputy general. This is better than staying in the mansion and living a seemingly comfortable but actually boring life, right?

Of course, Zhu Jiancai has no intention of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty this morning. After all, he is a smart person and can see the general trend more clearly. The Ming Dynasty is at its peak, and even the Qing Dynasty who was driven out of the Central Plains has no chance, let alone Zhu Jiancai?

Compared with the dead Yuan Qi, Gao Jin who went away from another country, Wang Zhiqing who disappeared, and even those rebel brothers who lost their lives on the battlefield, Zhu Jiancai was extremely satisfied. Moreover, Zhu Yicheng did not cause any trouble for him in recent years. He did not say anything about the emperor's generosity and magnanimity, but Lao Zhu admired him very much.

Thinking about the real intention of calling him today, Zhu Jiancai listened carefully to Zhu Yicheng's story, and soon Zhu Yicheng talked about the situation on North Korea.

At the beginning, Zhu Jiancai was not surprised. After all, he had known about the Ming Dynasty's capture of North Korea. This was a big event. Although Zhu Jiancai did not have a real position, he read the imperial court's official newspaper every issue, so this kind of thing was naturally very clear.

But when Zhu Yicheng talked about the sudden civil strife in North Korea, which had even affected the development of the Liaodong strategy, Zhu Jiancai's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he seemed to think of something in his expression.

"I must take it down in Liaodong. Shanhaiguan has made preparations and Dong Dashan has left Beijing. As for North Korea, Huang Taohuan and Zhang Fei have arrived in Pyongyang and the army has also completed the assembly. Seoul is left by Wang Wen. Seoul is the center of North Korea and is also the logistics location from Pyongyang to Liaodong. He cannot move at all."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yicheng turned his attention to Zhu Jiancai and asked with a smile: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"The emperor, I think a general can be sent to ensure logistics channels, stabilize the needs of the front line, and send troops to sweep the local area at the same time, and the best strategy is to quell the rebellion."

"Oh, where did that soldier come from? Should we call Pyongyang's army or use Seoul's left-behind troops?"

Zhu Jiancai thought for a while and shook his head and said, "It's not right. The emperor just said that the battle of Liaodong is on the verge of the string. Once the Pyongyang army is drawn, it will inevitably affect the entire situation. Liaodong is in the north, and the weather is different from that in the south. The winter is long and the summer is short. The best time to send troops every year is only a few months. So for the sake of the overall situation, it is best not to change the previous plan. It is not a different matter to mobilize the army."

"As for Seoul's remaining troops, there are only a few thousand people at present. Seoul is the center of North Korea and is also a logistics location. If these troops were transferred to quell the rebellion, they might look back on one thing and lose another, so I think it would be better to find another way."

"Zhu Qing deserves to be a veteran war, and his eyes are still sharp." Zhu Yicheng nodded in praise, and then asked directly: "If it were you, what would you do?"

When Zhu Yicheng asked this sentence, Zhu Jiancai's heart almost jumped out of his chest. In fact, just now Zhu Jiancai vaguely realized the real reason why Zhu Yicheng was looking for him today, but that was just a guess, but now he has asked about this matter.

Zhu Jiancai knew that his answer was very important. If his answer hit Zhu Yicheng's eyes, then he might be able to go from a leisurely marquis to a truly powerful nobleman. This was what Zhu Jiancai had always dreamed of after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, and now the opportunity is placed in front of him and waiting for him to fight for it.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Jiancai tried hard to calm himself down and then answered.

"Emperor, I think that the local rebellion in Korea is nothing more than the local tribes of North Korea. The aristocratic families and the Qing Dynasty who were afraid of our Ming attack on Liaodong, these people gathered together for their interests and tried to use this method to hinder our army from launching the Liaodong Battle. In this way, although these people are so powerful, they are just barely colluding. If our Ming army arrives, these native chickens and tiles will inevitably collapse."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jiancai paused, looked at Zhu Yicheng's expression, and saw that it was still dull and said again: "But the strategic deployment of Liaodong has been established, and our army cannot change it, so we must find another way to quell the civil strife in North Korea. According to my opinion, the Li family of North Korea has been king for more than 300 years, and the people in North Korea have long been in vain. There are many conflicts between the local people and the people of North Korea. Our Ming Dynasty can make use of these. Now that the army cannot call back, we can use other methods to deal with it, lead a partial army, confiscate its property, and divide it into a common people. We will definitely gain support, gather water into rivers, gather sand into towers, and then we can completely resolve it without any effort."

"In addition, the Ming Dynasty has just decided to establish the North Korean Kingdom, and there are many of them who have two hearts towards the Ming Dynasty. Even if the rebellion is suppressed, there will be hidden dangers in the future. It is better to take this opportunity to sweep the entire territory of North Korea and catch all those who have ulterior motives in one go. As long as these local tribes and aristocratic families are gone, those who have gained benefits will naturally support the Ming Dynasty. When the emperor's order is introduced to North Korea, North Korea will no longer have any worries."

"Good guy! Zhu Jiancai plans to carry out a land revolution in North Korea and completely eliminate the lives of local Korean clans, gentry and even all the upper classes of North Korea!" Zhu Yicheng didn't expect that Zhu Jiancai would say this. If this matter is really done, then as Zhu Jiancai said, North Korea has no worries and the Ming Dynasty can successfully and completely annex Korea.
