When Lao Zhu asked Zhu Biao about his opinion, he saw that Zhu Biao said with a righteous expression: "Father, Xiao Xiao Annan actually called himself the emperor. He didn't take my Sect Master seriously, so his son thought he should send troops to attack!"

As soon as Zhu Biao said something, Ren Hengtai next to him widened his eyes in shock again. He remembered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was obviously opposed to sending troops, but why did he change his mind in a blink of an eye?

"Father, I think I should find the right time to send troops. Now Annan is unstable. If I send troops rashly, it may make Annan unite. So I think I can find a way to provoke conflicts within Annan, just like when dealing with Goryeo, they can fight first. Then my Ming Navy conquered Shenglong in one fell swoop, and I will surely bring Annan down in one go!" Zhu Biao again excitedly gave advice.

Li Jie also laughed in his heart when he heard this. What he liked the most was Zhu Biao. Although Zhu Biao showed kindness most often, when he should act ruthlessly, he was always ruthless. Sometimes Li Jie wondered whether Zhu Biao's usual kindness was pretending? After all, relying solely on kindness, Zhu Biao could not sit firmly in the position of the prince for so many years.

"This method is good. What do you think of Li Jie?" Lao Zhu turned his head again to seek Li Jie's opinions.

"I also think the prince's advice is very good. The Hu family's monopoly power will probably usurp the throne soon. At that time, we can enter Annan under the banner of helping the Chen family restore the country!" Li Jie also smiled in agreement.

Seeing Lao Zhu and the other two deciding the fate of a country while chatting and laughing, Ren Hengtai next to him couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that it's not a family, and you won't go into the family. The prince is Your Majesty's own son, and Li Jie is Your Majesty's own grandson-in-law. The three generations of the Lao Zhu family all have the same idea. It seems that Annan is completely helpless!

The main thing was over. Although it was just a rough plan, the Ming Dynasty had done this kind of thing many times, and there were examples like Goryeo and Japan, so Lao Zhu was also very confident and just told the people below to do it later, but now Ren Hengtai's business has not been dealt with.

Old Zhu turned his head and looked at Ren Hengtai, and immediately snorted coldly, "Ren Hengtai, have all the concubines you brought back from Annan arranged?"

"Concubine?" Ren Hengtai didn't react at first, then suddenly woke up and immediately stepped forward excitedly and said, "My... I have already arranged it. These concubines have lived in my inner house and will be disciplined by my wife!"

"Very good. I will take care of my lower body in the future. If I cause such a thing, I can't save you. Let's go down!" After Lao Zhu gave a lesson, he waved his hand and drove Ren Hengtai out.

Ren Hengtai was also like being pardoned, and immediately thanked and retreated. After all, Lao Zhu had already designated the private slave he bought as a concubine. Although he would be laughed at as a minister of the Ministry of Rites and be lewd at one time, he would be laughed at as lustful as a lust, at least he would not break the law, so he would not have to worry about being pursued.

After Ren Hengtai left, Li Jie suddenly thought of something, so hesitated for a moment and said to Lao Zhu again: "Your Majesty, it is a matter of time to use troops against Annan, but there is the King of Yan in Goryeo and the King of Fusang in Japan. Look at Annan..."

"Did you see my son, the prince, so you want to drive them all out of the Ming Dynasty?" Lao Zhu was so angry when he heard this. He immediately stared at him and said angrily, although he had many sons, he couldn't all be sent outside, right?

"Your Majesty calms down, I am just considering the overall situation. After all, both Japan and Annan are far away from the Ming Dynasty. If others are sent to guard, it may not be much in a short period of time. But over time, people's hearts will inevitably change. Only when the prince goes, can His Majesty and the Prince be relieved!"

Li Jie was actually only half of this. Even his own son or brothers could not guarantee that they would not have any unfaithful intentions in the future. The reason why Zhu Di and Zhu Win dare not have unfaithful intentions is mainly because Old Zhu is still alive and has a strong deterrence. In addition, Zhu Biao is not a good-for-nothing lamp, so even if they have a thief, they are not brave enough.

But if Lao Zhu is gone in the future, Zhu Biao's health will not be in good condition. It is a bit possible to maintain close contact with the Ming Dynasty if several overseas enclaves can still maintain close contact with the Ming Dynasty. However, no matter what, these places are still surnamed Zhu. Even if someone really chooses to seize the country, it will still be the world of the Zhu family. Just like Zhu Di in history, the meat is still rotten in the pot.

Old Zhu also understood what Li Jie meant, so he also showed a contemplative look at this time. Compared with Goryeo and Japan, Annan was far away from the Ming Dynasty. Especially after moving the capital to Beijing, if Annan was really captured in the future, it might take several months for Beijing to just send a message, let alone effectively rule.

In fact, let alone Annan, even Yunnan can only be managed by Mu Ying and his son. Fortunately, Mu Ying is Lao Zhu's godson. He was raised by him since he was a child and was no different from his own son. Therefore, he was trusted by Lao Zhu. If it were another person, Lao Zhu would have been suspected long ago.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh, and then asked Zhu Biao: "Biaoer, who do you think does Annan send to you?"

"This..." Zhu Biao also showed a hesitant look when he heard this. After a moment, he spoke, "The third brother is proficient in military affairs and is a good candidate. However, he is guarding Taiyuan and has a very heavy responsibility. It is really inconvenient to move lightly. The fifth brother is in Kaifeng, but the fifth brother is not very concerned about military affairs, so it is really embarrassing him to lead troops to fight."

Empress Ma gave birth to five sons including Zhu Biao, the second and fourth sons went to Japan and Goryeo respectively. The remaining third son Zhu Qi is also a powerful general, which is not much worse than Zhu Di. She used to be the same as Zhu Di and Zhu Ci, who were both military towns guarding the north. Now Zhu Ci and Zhu Di have both left, so it is not convenient for Zhu Qi to mobilize him.

As for King Zhu Xu of Zhou, he was not good at fighting, which was also the reason why Lao Zhu arranged him to Kaifeng. The main reason was to let him manage the logistics, so he was not suitable to lead troops at all.

"It seems that only Lao Liu is more suitable!" Lao Zhu nodded when he heard this, and then spoke again. The Liu Liu he said was Zhu Zhen, the King of Chu, and his mother was Concubine Hu Chong, so he was granted the title of Wuchang.

"I also think the sixth brother is the most suitable. He is talented and intelligent and has strategy. He once followed Duke Xin, Jiangxiahou and others to pacify the barbarians. Later, he personally led his troops to quell the rebellion in Yunnan and Daozhou. He was very familiar with the situation in the south. In addition, the navy in Wuchang was also quite strong, so it was very suitable for him to turn to command the navy!" Zhu Biao nodded at this time.
