When talking about marriage, Zhu Qi thought of the famous saying in later generations: I, in the Ming Dynasty, did not marry, would not pay compensation or cede land, the emperor guarded the country, and the king died!

However, the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period actually had no such concept. At least Zhu Yuanzhang did not set the capital in Peking, but Nanjing.

The various aspects of this sentence actually come from the early Ming Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty.

The previous sentence, "I will not marry in the Ming Dynasty, will not pay compensation or cede land." is actually what Emperor Yongle said.

The original saying is "The power of our dynasty is beyond the ancient times. It controls the Western barbarians of the Xifannan Island in the north, there are no relatives from the Han Dynasty, no alliances from the Tang Dynasty, no Song Dynasty's annual coins, and no brothers' rituals to fight against the country."

And it was said when the Mongolian army returned to the court during the second Northern Expedition, which was like a tiger.

The emperor guarded the country's gates and it was also a saying that appeared among the people of the Ming Dynasty after Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Peiping. Eventually, the Ming Dynasty did do this.

The king died because in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng captured the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen did not withdraw from the capital until his death due to various reasons and hanged Coal Mountain. The people called this incident "the king died in the country."

In other words, at this time, the Ming Dynasty naturally had no unspoken rules of disagreement, and the court was not completely rejected by the matter of marriage.

Zhu Qi listened aside for a while, and after waiting for the inner official to leave, he came forward and asked Zhu Biao what was going on.

There is nothing to hide about the marriage, and Zhu Biao quickly started talking about it.

After hearing the elder brother Zhu Biao talked about it, Zhu Qi began to feel that things were a little beyond his imagination. In other words, the flapping wings of his little butterfly finally began to change the historical process of the early Ming Dynasty!

First of all, it was Goryeo, because Zhu Qi was on the Bohai Sea and directly pushed the Beiyuan Navy in a way that destroyed Gula, and it was a feat that was accomplished when the Beiyuan Navy was nearly twice that of the Ming army!

Goryeo was watching the battle from beginning to end, but because of the slow speed, when they wanted to join the battlefield, the vanguard army of the Beiyuan Navy collapsed.

Seeing this situation, the Goryeo Navy silently withdrew from the battle.

This is also the reason why the Northern Yuan Dynasty was almost wiped out during the Battle of the Bohai Sea, but the Goryeo Navy was able to escape unscathed.

Because of this, Goryeo was broken, so an envoy was arranged for the first time this year.

Out of the history of marriage with the previous Yuan Dynasty, King Goryeo asked a Princess of the Ming Dynasty to marry him, and from then on he was willing to become a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty and accept the title of the Ming Dynasty.

Just like the Yuan Dynasty, it became the son-in-law of the Central Plains dynasty!

Zhu Qi was a little panicked when he heard this and hurriedly said to Zhu Biao:

"Brother, this Goryeo was determined to follow the Beiyuan before. We might have been trapped. He just wanted to appease the Beiyuan and our Ming Dynasty, and then take the opportunity to benefit!"

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, Zhu Biao continued:

"I thought so at first, but today I heard that Wang Zhuan, the former Goryeo king, was killed in the hall by his eunuch's sword in September of the seventh year of Hongwu. His son, the great king of Jiangning Prefecture, succeeded to the throne of Goryeo."

Zhu Qi hurriedly said:

"We must be more careful when we have a father, we must be more careful!"

Zhu Biao smiled and said:

"The key is that the great king of Jiangning Prefecture, Wang, might not be the son of Wang Zhuan.

Hearing that Wang Jing was the son of a powerful minister named Xin Zhen, Wang Zhuan deposed Wang Jing's position as crown prince. Later, Wang Zhuan was killed, and Wang Jing was promoted to the new King of Goryeo by his ministers."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Qi remembered that this seemed to be a famous historical event in Goryeo history.

Xin Shi is also a famous Korean figure in history, and is nicknamed "King of Power".

But I vaguely remember that the new Goryeo Grand Prince Wang seemed to be quite rampant.

Later, he took the initiative to launch the Liaodong Battle, hoping to occupy the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty.

However, General Lee Chenggui, who was sent to the front line, knew that he was not a match for the Ming Dynasty, so he went back to rebel and successfully established the Li Korean.

The name of North Korea was also Zhu Yuanzhang, so it was enthroned.

In the original history, after Wang Jing, the last king of Goryeo, succeeded to the throne, he continued to be in conflict with the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Unexpectedly, when he was the first to succeed, Zhu Qi directly fought a battle in the Bohai Sea. The Goryeo Kingdom directly sent envoys to ease the relationship.

This Goryeo is definitely the target that the Ming Dynasty wants to win over. After all, Goryeo is now considered the right-hand man of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. If he could pull Goryeo over, it would be equivalent to directly cutting off one of the Northern Yuan Dynasty's arm.

It is natural for the court officials to be striking.

Here, Goryeo wanted to ask for a princess of the Ming Dynasty. When other foreign envoys in the Honglu Temple heard this, they also shouted and asked the princess to marry her.

For example, Chameng, Java, Nan'an, Siam, Zhenla, etc., there is no need to mention them, as the old tribute country.

But there is one country that surprised Zhu Qi, that is, Japan.

To be honest, Zhu Qi thought of no one who thought of Japan, because Japan is the most famous Southern and Northern Dynasties in history, and it is hard to part with it.

Of course, Zhu Qi knew that the final winner would be. If there was no intervention, the Muromachi Shogunate of the Northern Dynasties would win. Many people probably were not very familiar with the Muromachi Shogunate, but if it were the Warring States Period, everyone must be very familiar with the Sixth Day Demon King Oda Nobunaga.

The Warring States Period was the era of the late Muromachi Shogunate.

At this time, the general of the Muromachi Shogunate was Ashikaga Yoshiman, who had just succeeded as the general of the Senei. He was only ten years old this year. The one who held real power was Hosokawa Ichino, who was the leader of the shogunate, and his position was equivalent to that of the prime minister.

At this time, the Emperor of Japan in the Northern Dynasties was Emperor Houyuanrong. Everyone is not familiar with this person, but if another person is connected, everyone will be very familiar with it.

Emperor Hou Yuanrong is the grandfather of Monk Ikkyu.

Zhu Qi couldn't help but think of the magical BGM he had in his childhood.

Gejigejigejigejigejigejigejigejigejigejigejigejigejigeji...

After talking about the Northern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasties followed. As long as you know, the Southern Dynasties at this time was Emperor Changqing.

Because there were really no famous figures in the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Changqing was considered one.

It was precisely because of the turmoil of the Northern and Southern Dynasties that Japan would send envoys to the Ming Dynasty, and one of them was sent to both the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Both the Southern and Northern Dynasties hope to gain recognition from the Ming Dynasty, that is, enthronement. To put it bluntly, they want to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty and gain orthodox status.

The two emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties wanted to win the princess of the Ming Dynasty, and they were quarreling.

For a moment, the Gentile envoys of thirty or forty were begging the princess.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had many daughters, it was not enough for them to rob. Moreover, there was only one person who had not gotten married at the age of marriage, including Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter and Princess Lin'an.

The other princesses are too young, so they have to wait for at least two or three years.

After hearing the detailed narration of the Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Qi was a little surprised. Didn’t this Lin'an princess marry Li Qi in history?

Li Qi is his good brother, and Zhu Qi would be very happy if he could marry his sister.

Although the endings of Li Qi and Princess Lin'an in history were very desolate because they involved Li Shanchang, with Zhu Qizai, he would naturally find some ways to avoid these tragedies.

However, before she could even get along with Li Qi, her ministers had already discussed which family of Gentile king to marry.

When Zhu Biao saw Zhu Qi's expression, he asked with a smile:

"Why, third brother, do you think this is not a matter of marriage?"

Zhu Qi nodded and said:

"In the Han Dynasty, marriage was because the Huns were strong and marriage was for the alliance between the four sides. However, whether in the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, marriage was actually of little effect, but the things that were sent to the dowry were quite rich.

This is of no use to our Central Plains dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty has abundant martial virtues. The only Beiyuan within the world, which is considered an enemy, is also unbearable. There is no need to marry."

Zhu Biao said with a smile:

"When did the third brother speak like those sour Confucian scholars? There have been some scholars gathering to discuss this matter these days, and some of their thoughts are just like you.

However, between countries, strength and weakness are endless, and things in the world are unpredictable. Wang Baobao is a strange man. Now his reputation is booming, and it is still unknown what the future of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be.

At this time, more allies are better than more enemies.

Of course, this is what some of these officials think.”

Zhu Qi hurriedly asked, "What do you think, brother?"

Zhu Qi was not clear about Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude. After all, there were very few records about princesses in the Ming Dynasty, and no princess had any great political influence at all. It can be said that she had arranged for foreign relatives to interfere in politics clearly.

Zhu Biao’s view is naturally very important, but Zhu Biao sighed and said:

"Yuqing, I naturally don't want my sister to marry a foreigner. It's just that the ministers and officials in the court are talking about marriage. Choosing Goryeo is the wisest choice."

Zhu Qi was a little surprised. What Zhu Biao said was indeed correct. Kissing with Goryeo is indeed the wisest choice.

It is not to win over Goryeo, but to marry Goryeo, which can effectively differentiate the relationship between the Northern Yuan Dynasty and Goryeo.

It has always been the most effective way to fight without the Beiyuan and Goryeo joining forces.

To put it bluntly, the reason for this is that the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not collapse, but instead became more and more courageous as the battle became stronger and stronger.

Wang Baobao became the spiritual pillar of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. However, after Wang Baobao won the Battle of Lingbei in history, he seemed to have died inexplicably on the grassland eight years after two years of Hongwu. History records of the cause of his death are very chaotic. He also said he died of illness and died of death.

However, the possibility of death is not very high. After all, Wang Baobao is only in his thirties now and is in his prime.

Wang Baobao of this time and space is still alive, but instead has changed many historical processes accordingly.

The prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Qi had finished chatting here, and the banquet over there was almost over.

Zhu Qixin was thinking about Princess Lin'an, so he naturally didn't sleep well at night.

At the first day of the first lunar month, the envoys of various countries formally raised the matter in the court after a burst of rituals and music.

First, an envoy sent by Goryeo said that the new king succeeded to the throne and was willing to rebuild with the Ming Dynasty. He expressed that he accepted the Ming Dynasty's favor and requested another princess.

His words were so sincere that they praised the Ming Dynasty to heaven.

After the Goryeo envoy said that, the Japanese envoy next to him also jumped out and shouted that he was willing to accept the title of the Ming Dynasty, only asking for a Ming Dynasty princess!

The envoys of the Southern Dynasties of Japan were naturally unwilling to do so. They directly said that the envoys were fake and sent by the pseudo-degree and could not represent the orthodox Japanese state.
