In the Hall of Heaven.
Regarding the second northern expedition, the court was still in an uproar.
The reason why everyone was still discussing it after a month was mainly because of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been supporting the Northern Expedition, suddenly changed his mind.
He decided to stop the northern expedition and start developing the economy!
"Upper-position, muddle-headed!"
"Now Northern Yuan has been defeated, and our Ming Dynasty is unstoppable. If we stop the northern expedition now, instead of ending Northern Yuan in one go, we will be able to defeat Northern Yuan.”
"Once Northern Yuan regains its footing in the grasslands, it will be difficult to destroy Northern Yuan!”
Xu Da said earnestly.
The generals of the Great Ming behind him were also trying to persuade him.
They didn't know what kind of bewitching potion those civil officials had poured into His Majesty to actually make His Majesty change his mind.
"Alright, I've made up my mind. There's no need to mention it anymore.”
However, Zhu Yuanzhang only waved his hand in response to these persuasion.
The reason why he didn't want to continue the Northern Expedition was because he was afraid that he would be killed.
Of course, it wasn't because the civil officials had bewitched him.
There were two reasons.
After leaving the chat group, Zhu Yuanzhang's attention was already on the Dynasty Rankings that Zhu Houzhao had mentioned earlier.
If nothing unexpected happened.
Then, the next time he entered the chat group, the Dynasty Rankings would appear.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what this ranking meant, his intuition told him that this thing was definitely not simple.
In fact, if he wanted to change the future, it was very likely that a large part of it would depend on it.
Therefore, after pondering for a few days.
Zhu Yuanzhang decided to preserve his national strength and temporarily stop the second northern expedition. He would wait until the next chat group was opened.
This was only the first reason.
The second reason was, of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's sensitivity to the battlefield.
Ever since he saw Zhu Di in the chat group.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a bad premonition.
It was not because Fourth Brother had usurped the throne.
Instead,
What did Fourth Brother use to usurp the throne?
Since ancient times.
How many vassal kings had successfully usurped the throne?
There was only Fourth Sister!
Of course, this could prove that Fourth Brother was very capable.
However, a clever housewife couldn't cook a meal without rice.
In addition to his own abilities, he also needed to have enough trump cards to successfully usurp the throne.
The territory that he chose for Fourth Brother was the cold and bitter land of Northern Yan.
Under what circumstances could Fourth Brother rely on the territory of the Cold and Bitter Land to slowly develop?
There was only one answer.
That was that Great Ming's external enemy was powerful enough!
This was the only way.
Only then could he reasonably and continuously train the guards under Fourth Brother, and in turn, continuously increase Fourth Brother's strength, and finally break through the sky!
Then, the problem came.
Who could the enemy be?
Zhu Yuanzhang already had an answer in his mind.
Grassland!
"According to our original plan, after taking over Northern Yuan, we should inherit the territory of Yuan Dynasty. However, according to this, the grasslands will not belong to Great Ming in the future.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned haggard as he rubbed his temples.
"In other words, our northern expedition did not succeed!”
Perhaps there would be a small victory.
However, they did not secure a great victory in the final battle!
In fact…
There was a chance that he would fail!
For Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always liked to fight tortoise battles and fight steadily.
Since they had deduced that they would not be able to obtain a great victory, there was naturally no need to rush to launch the northern expedition.
To preserve the country's strength.
Rush to the rankings.
Zhu Yuanzhang decided to hold back.
It would not be too late to go north when he obtained some immortal traces from the chat group.
.........
"The foreign envoys of the western countries have come to see you!"
A loud voice resounded outside the Hall of Heaven Tribute.
Along with the drumming.
Westerners dressed in strange clothes respectfully walked into the Hall of Heaven Tribute.
"Congratulations to the Great Ming Emperor!"
The foreign envoys knelt down and kowtowed to congratulate him.
They were none other than the foreign officials from the Western countries that Zheng He had brought back.
It wasn't just the envoys.
There was also a noble who came personally just to witness the glory of the Ming Empire!
"Rise."
Zhu Di sat on the dragon throne.
He placed one hand on the armrest and supported his chin with the other hand.
His figure was casual and his words were calm.
However, it was filled with a majesty that no one dared to look at. The supreme imperial power and the murderous aura cultivated in the army made these foreign envoys look forward to it.
"Which batch is this?"
Zhu Di casually asked the young eunuch beside him.
"Your Majesty, it's already the fifth batch," the young eunuch quickly replied.”
"Is there more?"
"No more."
Zhu Di nodded when he heard this answer.
Finally, it was gone!
He stood up and stretched his body.
He had spent the whole morning here, just to receive the worship of the Western envoy.
Zhu Di was a little tired from sitting.
"When San Bao first brought back these Western envoys for an audience, I was quite excited.”
"Why is it getting more and more boring now?”
Zhu Di patted his old waist and pondered in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that these foreign envoys had brought a lot of good things, he wouldn't have been willing to let these guys come.
"I wonder what dad is doing now?”
"I'm afraid they're preparing for the second northern expedition.”
Zhu Di thought to himself.
Zhu Houzhao's figure flashed across her mind.
The group leader of the Ming Emperor's chat group
This Zhu Houzhao.
Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty.
Not simple.
"According to Houzhao, the Dynasty Rankings should appear in the next chat group.”
"I wonder if my Yongle Dynasty can fight for first place?”
A smile slowly appeared on Zhu Di's face.
He was very confident in the prosperity of the Yongle Dynasty!
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he came to court!
Now, he could be considered Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.
It's different. Come to court?
So what if my Great Ming Dynasty is compared to the Great Tang Dynasty!？
Why couldn't he get first place?
