"That's how things happened. Do you think you can convince someone to change your mind?" Li Jie explained the story in detail, and finally asked Dier.

"It's easy to have stew. After all, he is not stupid. Even if he just suspects that King Yan has ulterior motives, he will definitely not fall into the trap. But my father-in-law is in a little trouble." Di'er pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I am also worried about the King of Zhou. He must have a lot of resentment towards the court of the vassal of this time, so he may not believe us. If he insists on going to America, the court will not be able to stop him. So what I am most worried about is that you and Youshuo. You can't jump with him even though you know that there is a fire pit ahead, right?" Li Jie said helplessly at this time.

"Although my father-in-law was a little moved by going to America, he had not made up his mind yet. Why not let Youzhu persuade him to persuade him, maybe he could change his mind." Dier thought for a while and said again. She was very confident in persuading Zhu Youzhu, but she had no confidence in persuading Zhu Su.

"Okay, let Youzhuan give it a try for the time being!" Li Nodou, then hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What do you think about Youzhuan? Do you also don't want to stay in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Your brother-in-law don't understand?" Dier glared at Li Jie when she heard this question. "Originally, I had no ambition to guard Kaifeng. I usually focus on listening to opera arrangements except for handling official duties in the royal palace. But now, as soon as the matter of reducing the vassal states, the court clearly encouraged the vassal kings to go to sea, so I also became interested in going to sea to lay a foundation for my children and grandchildren."

The reason why Dier glared at Li Jie was mainly because she knew that the vassal king went to sea was definitely related to her elder brother. Now Zhu Youzhuo made up her mind to go to sea, so it was difficult for her to stop her. But if this happens, it will not be easy to return to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"This... I can't blame me, it's mainly because of His Majesty's own idea." Li Jie smiled and defended himself.

Zhu Youzhuo was extremely talented, and a prince could not let him show his full performance, so he also focused his energy on some hobbies, such as he liked to write opera by himself. In history, he was a famous opera master, and even later generations ranked him with Guan Hanqing, and was an important figure in the history of opera.

Dier didn't believe Li Jie's words, but she didn't worry about this matter, and soon frowned again and said, "I understand that Youzhuan wanted to go to the sea. Originally, I didn't object to going to the Americas. Now, after hearing what you said, Americas will definitely not be possible. This will definitely be a big blow to Youzhuan."

"There is a solution to this, which is to see if you want to stew it or not." Li Jie suddenly smiled.

"What's the solution?" Di'er immediately asked after hearing this.

"Your Majesty has promised that if you are unwilling to go to America with the King of Zhou, Nanyang and others will choose it themselves, but this matter may have some impact on his reputation, so it depends on whether he is willing." Li Jie replied with a smile.

"Really? It's great!" Di'er almost jumped up when she heard this, and then she saluted Li Jie solemnly, "Thank you, brother!"

You should know that the vassal kings are also restricted from going to sea. After all, every vassal king can get certain support from the court, so only the prince is qualified to go to sea. Zhu Youzhu is only the prince. As long as the King of Zhou is still alive, he can only be on par with the prince. Now His Majesty agrees to support Zhu Youzhu to go to Southeast Asia. This is not because the Zhou king is special, but because of Li Jie's face, so Dier thanks Li Jie.

"Silly girl, you are my sister. Who else can I help you if I don't help you?" Li Jie said with emotion when he heard this. The little girl who was full of dim sum at the time was now a mother, which made him feel that time passed so quickly.

With Zhu Yunyu's promise, Dier left with confidence, but Li Jie was not as relaxed as Dier because he thought more.

So after Dier left, Li Jie also took the globe in front of him and then fiddled to the location of Nanyang, observing and thinking about one island and one island.

Now Nanyang has been classified as the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty has not stationed troops in the South China Sea, the Ming Dynasty's merchant ships have long been spread throughout the South China Sea. When pirates were rampant before, the Ming Dynasty's navy also entered the South China Sea to clear out.

In addition, Zhu Qi was in Luzon and Zhu Zhen was in Jiaozhi. These were two great forces that the Ming Dynasty had planted in Southeast Asia. Although Zhu Qi was exiled to Luzon, he also had a lot of complaints about the Ming Dynasty, but in places like Luzon, he could not gain a foothold without the support of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of connection of interests is much stronger than that of the relationship.

Compared to Zhu Qi, Zhu Zhen was actually even more unlucky because he was the second Zhu Di. He originally conquered Jiaozhi under the will of Lao Zhu, and established a country there, and even expanded into the internal area of ​​the Southeast Peninsula.

However, Zhu Zhen's expansion aroused the Ming Dynasty's vigilance, because the Ming Dynasty did not want a country that was too powerful. If Zhu Zhen annexed the Southeast Peninsula and bordered the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely threaten the security of the southern border of the Ming Dynasty.

So in this case, Zhu Zhen's expansion was stopped, and in the end he wanted to hand over Jiaozhi like Zhu Di, but Zhu Zhen was also very sensible. Although he handed over Jiaozhi, he chose the Malay Peninsula, which formed a narrow strait with Sumatra, which was the later Malacca Strait, which was the main transportation route from the South China Sea to the West.

"The Malay Peninsula and Luzon are both occupied. Although there are still many remaining places in the South China Sea, most of them have various defects. If they are not in the South China Sea and are too far away, it will be difficult for Dier to come back in the future!" Li Jie looked at the map of the South China Sea and whispered to himself.

The reason why Li Jie wanted Dier and Zhu Youzhuan to go to Nanyang was because Nanyang was closer. After all, his parents were older, so he naturally hoped that Dier could come back to reunite more. If Zhu Youzhuan went too far, it might be rare to come back once in his life, which is also a great regret for the two old men.

Of course, we can't just talk about distance. After all, Zhu Youshuo is an ambitious and ambitious person. A place that is too small is not enough for him to tossing. There are not many places that meet these two conditions. So Li Jie looked at it, and his eyes still fell on Luzon Island, which was closest to the Ming Dynasty and was big enough. Unfortunately, it was occupied by Zhu Shi, which made Li Jie very helpless.

Just as Li Jie was thinking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, and then Zhu Youzhun's voice came, "Brother-in-law, can I come in?"
