Looking at the back of Zhang Weixian leaving, Zhu Youxiao turned to Chen Hong and said, "Let this matter out, pay attention to what the ministers said, understand?" ”

"Don't worry, the emperor understands." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

In the days that followed, the court was relatively calm. After the matter is decided, all that remains is the operation, which becomes a lot simpler.

Ou Dalun and Chen Sihai are both capable, and it does not take much effort to form a yamen, and now they have begun to organize people to measure the land so that they can be taxed according to the land.

At the same time, the two of them also began to find out how many fields they had, how did these fields come from, and they also tried their best to dig out the land hidden by Xungui and Xunqi.

Other than that, there's really nothing else.

The news of the establishment of the staff office has been released, and there is a general reply from everywhere.

Regarding the establishment of the General Staff Office, the honorable and Xun relatives were overjoyed, and the civilian officials were somewhat opposed, but the opposition was not very strong, because the General Staff Office was less noticeable.

His Majesty needed people to serve the military, so he established such a yamen. Although it is dividing the power of the cabinet, and it is supporting the nobles and relatives, it is really difficult to oppose this matter.

After all, the nobles and relatives had already come up with conditions, and people were willing to pay taxes, and His Majesty's establishment of a new yamen was also a benefit to appease them.

If none of this is agreed, it is a bit excessive. Therefore, although there is a little bit of opposition on the side of the civil servants, it is not so strong, mainly because several scholars in the cabinet have a vague attitude towards this matter.

Since Zhu Youxiao took control of the court, it has been difficult for that kind of large-scale opposition to appear.

After experiencing the previous events, everyone also knows how to get along with the new emperor, so things like the previous kneeling are basically not likely to happen.

Many people pretend to be high-minded, feel that the court is coming to an end, and resign directly and go home. There are a lot of things like this during this time, but not much of them care.

If there is less in the court, anyone can be transferred, you don't want to be an official, some people want to be an official.

That's the way it is now.

In such an atmosphere, the Ming Dynasty finally ushered in the New Year.

This is Zhu Youxiao's first year in this era, and he originally had some expectations, but seeing the things he was going to do during the New Year, Zhu Youxiao didn't have any sense of expectation.

If you have to sum up one word for this New Year, it is tired.

In addition to rewarding courtiers and worshipping the heavens and ancestors, there are a lot of messy things.

Zhu Youxiao decisively chose to retreat.

If you can't do anything, you won't do it, and let Queen Zhang do it. It's really impossible to come forward yourself, otherwise you will definitely not come forward.

Even so, Zhu Youxiao did not get free.

Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhu Youxiao held a big banquet in the palace, and then took Empress Zhang back to the palace.

These days, I have somewhat snubbed Queen Zhang, and I have to accompany her well.

Naturally, there is nothing else to do in the court, because it has long been a holiday, and there is nothing to bother Zhu Youxiao, and life is considered stable.

On the morning of the third year of junior high school, something finally happened.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong, who hurriedly ran in, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Look at you like this, what's the good thing?" ”

"Emperor Qi, a great thing!"

As he spoke, Chen Hong knelt on the ground with a plop, raised a question book above his head with both hands and said, "Emperor, the southwest is a great victory!" This is the good news sent by Yuan Keli, the governor of the southwest, and the southwest has won! ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao stood up abruptly, with an excited look on his face.

He hurriedly walked over, reached out and took the question book, and couldn't wait to look through it.

The last battle report still said that the Ming army was mobilized to fight with the Ming army in Jianwu (now west of Dadam, Xingwennan, Sichuan Province), Changning (now east of Jue County, Sichuan Province), Jue County, Yibin, and Zunyi, and the two sides won and lost each other.

This time, the good news was the previous battle report, Sun Chuanting set up suspicious troops in Naxi, pretending to attack, and the main force suddenly entered Yongning from Changning.

Qi Yuangong and Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers won the battle, and it took only half a month to conquer Yongning, and then to Kelin Prefecture (now Gulin, Sichuan Province).

Luxury Chongming's father and son led the rest of the army to retreat to Shuixi Longchang (located in the southeast of Xuyong County, Sichuan Province, now part of Guizhou Province), and united with Guizhou An Bangyan.

By this time, Yu Chongming and An Bangyan had fallen into the encirclement of the Ming army.

On one side is Yuan Keli's attack, and on the other side is Sun Chuanting's attack. Sun Chuanting also changed his previous fast-attacking style of play, and changed it to a steady and steady fight, gradually encircled and suppressed, and cooperated seamlessly with Yuan Keli.

Neither of them ventured forward, so they gradually advanced the small division, without giving the rebels a chance.

Subsequently, Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting marched into Longchang in 7 ways, capturing many civil and military generals such as Extravagant Chongming's wife An and his younger brother Extravagant Chonghui, as well as rebel scholars, Jinglu, prime ministers, and governors, and beheaded more than 10,000 people.

Then the two sides fought a decisive battle, and Hao Chongming was killed in battle, and An Bangyan was captured.

Yuan Keli wrote very clearly in the recital that it was necessary to return to Beijing to offer prisoners.

If it was just a battle fought by the southwest army, it would definitely not return to Beijing to offer prisoners. But Sun Chuanting brought people from the capital, and they were also coming back, just in time to bring those people back.

That's why there was such a proposal, and I wanted to return to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners.

The main purpose of sacrificing prisoners is to boast of martial arts and demonstrate the strength of the country.

But the sacrifice of prisoners in the southwest really can't play such a role.

The entire Ming Dynasty, from top to bottom, has never looked down on them.

Even if they are captured, the people of the capital may see them as a joke. So if it weren't for Yuan Keli and them coming back, it is estimated that they would not have taken them with them at all.

Of course, the bigger purpose of this proposal is to shoot Zhu Youxiao's ass.

The emperor is young, and it is easy to rejoice, and this is also a rebellion.

If the emperor wants to see the sacrifice of prisoners, isn't that just right? You can also mix up more credit.

If the emperor didn't want to see it, then he just mentioned it. Just after such a big victory, the emperor will not say anything.

Therefore, the matter of offering prisoners is not a loss.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao could only admit it and said: "Send a decree to Yuan Keli and tell him that there is no need to do it, and offering prisoners is just a waste of money and labor." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid wrote it down. Chen Hong hurriedly agreed,

Although Chen Hong was very happy on his face, congratulations and congratulations, in fact, he didn't think that this was a big side work, it was just a rebellion of a few local buns in the southwest, where else could he make trouble?

For this, Zhu Youxiao has no way to change it.

The court did not pay much attention to the matter of the Extravagant Rebellion.

So Zhu Youxiao continued: "Let Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong come back." As for Yuan Keli, when will he understand the southwestern cuisine, and when will he come back. He still needs to do the land reform over there, and let the cabinet draw up a decree for him. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed and said respectfully.

"In addition, the list of merits handed over by Yuan Keli was approved by me. Tell the cabinet not to be stingy with the rewards that should be given, and not to be stingy with the money that should be spent. The credit earned by the soldiers in front of them with their lives cannot be lightly rewarded. ”

In addition, he told Zhao Bingzhong, who was in the Department of General Affairs, that he should send someone to keep an eye on it, and that this money was not allowed to be embezzled. If someone touches the money, let him take it directly. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed again.

"Alright, you can do it!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao shook his head, turned around and walked towards the palace.

There, Empress Zhang was still waiting for herself.

Just explain these things, and don't worry too much about yourself. Otherwise, his efforts to fight wits and courage with his courtiers some time ago would have been in vain.

As an emperor, you must learn to delegate power.

Well done, give a reward; If you don't do it well, then replace it. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, so that you can ensure that you are not tired and live a long life.

There are not many emperors that Zhu Youxiao admires, but many of the emperors he admires are tired to death.

He didn't want to die of exhaustion, he wanted to keep himself healthy.

What does it mean for the country to be alive by himself, Zhu Youxiao knows very well in his heart.

So for Zhu Youxiao, it is very important to take care of his body.

We must not compete for the long-term length of the moment, but take a long-term view.

The emperor went to accompany the empress, and the courtiers below were busy. It's just that the government hasn't opened yet, and many things can't be done accurately, so we can only do the preparatory work first.

Soon the days will come to the Lantern Festival, and the year will be almost over.

Although there were a lot of things in the imperial court last year, it was quite peaceful on the whole, and the people's lives were not greatly affected, and they were doing well, so this year's Lantern Festival was particularly lively

Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to sneak out of the palace, but was stopped by Empress Zhang.

"The Lantern Festival is too chaotic, Your Majesty can't leave the palace" This reason is really no way to refuse, not to mention that Empress Zhang also brought out Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian, with a posture of wanting to accompany Zhu Youxiao for the festival.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao has no reason to leave.

After the Lantern Festival, most of the yamen in the imperial court resumed operation, and the entire Ming Dynasty began to officially wake up.

Everything is starting to get on track.

There are more things to do in the imperial court this year, and the first major event in spring is that in addition to farming, there are several major events to prepare.

For example, the field census of the nobles was only prepared before the year, and it will officially start after the New Year, and all the hidden fields must be cleared.

In addition to this, there are imperial examinations.

This year is the year of Dabi, and everyone is watching.

This is the first big competition since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, and it can be said to be of great significance.

In addition to this, the establishment of the General Staff Office also caused quite a stir.

In short, this spring, the Ming Dynasty seems to be moving.

Countless people are plotting,

Countless people are calculating,

But all eyes were on the inside of the palace,

Waiting for the teenager.
