Three years have passed in just a flick of a finger, and now it is the late autumn of the tenth year of Daming Jingtai, and it has been three years since the rebellion that shook the world and was widely implicated. People have gradually forgotten the changes of the year, and the torrent of the times is rolling forward, allowing Daming to move towards a new path.

I don't know if it's because of Lu Jin's change of life, or if Zhu Qizhen's death removed the hidden danger in Zhu Qiyu's heart, the body of the Great Tomorrow Son, who should have died after the rebellion in the seventh year of Jingtai, actually recovered slowly, not only survived for three years, but also looked better and better, and it was not a problem to be the lord of the world for another ten or twenty years.

Moreover, after this heart disease was removed, another trouble that had plagued the emperor for many years was also solved. In just three years, the harem concubine gave birth to two sons for him one after another, named Zhu Jianyuan and Zhu Jiandian, and the former was soon canonized as the crown prince.

The Son of Heaven was in good health and set up a crown prince, which made the Manchu officials finally feel at ease. The big tomorrow is naturally thriving, and everything is developing in a better direction.

As he grew older, and after a series of changes, Zhu Qiyu not only matured, but also became more and more authoritative, and could really control the government like his ancestors, and let the ministers act according to their own wishes.

And after several changes, those people with ulterior motives at both ends of the court have also been kicked out, and now the Ming court is quite decent, which is not far behind in the early years of orthodoxy. What is even more gratifying than the orthodox dynasty is that the treasury is much fuller today than it was then. The effect of opening the sea trade has begun to slowly appear, relying on the transportation with overseas countries, every year the Ming can obtain millions of taels of silver income, plus the corresponding taxes, than before, but more than ten million taels of silver into the treasury.

With this surplus of silver, the imperial court was able to do a lot of things, and the yamen no longer had to live in a tight situation, and even in the southwest and northwest and other places, the imperial court was able to quickly allocate a large amount of money and food to help them, thus making a far-reaching contribution to the stability of the world.

As for areas such as the southeast coast and Shandong, which were opened to trade early on, the changes are becoming more and more obvious. Not only did the government and businessmen get a lot of benefits from it, but even ordinary people also earned a family business that they could not earn in the past few decades because they followed the requirements of the government to grow mulberry and silkworms, weave cloth and make porcelain.

Today's Daming really deserves the comment that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the national strength is thriving. As for this result, all the officials of the DPRK and China are looking at it. It was only at this time that everyone finally understood Lu Jin's hard work. They also believe that as long as we continue to unswervingly implement the policy of opening the sea, the wealth of our Ming Dynasty will be able to go far to the Han and Tang Dynasties, surpassing the two Song Dynasty in the north and south, which are famous for their wealth and wealth.

Moreover, judging from the current situation inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, we can solve all the internal and external troubles that occurred in those dynasties. As for foreign enemies, although the problem of the northern Tartars has not been solved, but in the past few years, our border army has always had the upper hand, compared to the Liaojin Mongols who were bullied and even destroyed by the Liaojin Mongols, and the two Song Dynasty in the north and south are much stronger.

As a result, whether in the officialdom or in the people, people regard themselves as subjects of the Ming Dynasty and are proud of living in the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty. The evaluation of Lu Jin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is also very different from three years ago, and countless scholars have highly respected him, and some people even call him a model for his ministers.

In the context of prosperity all over the world, even if there are some minor problems, the monarchs and ministers in the court will not pay too much attention to it. However, today, when a disaster was suddenly brought up at the court meeting, many people were still moved, and even the current emperor Zhu Qiyu, who has always been in a good mood recently, was furious after hearing this report.

And the one who mentioned this matter was the current Hubu Shangshu Shen Gu. Originally, at the court meeting, the courtiers were reporting some good things to the emperor in the local area, but he suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister just received an urgent report from Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province early this morning, because of the heavy rain in the autumn month, the water of the Yellow River in the territory has risen sharply, and several counties under its jurisdiction have suffered from the backflow of river water, especially Xingze County, which has been washed down by the flooded river, and the homes and fields of the people on both sides of the Yellow River have been destroyed, and the number of dead has reached as many as 134. Today, the Kaifeng Mansion has asked the Ministry of Household Affairs for the allocation of funds for disaster relief, and I hope that His Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible and return the local people to peace. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court meeting, which was still jubilant, was suddenly shocked, and the emperor immediately changed color: "Is this true? After getting confirmed, he patted the imperial case: "How can this be true, my imperial court will allocate millions of taels of silver every year to remediate the Yellow River, why is there still news of a breach every year?" This year, it was a good thing, and there was a result that the river embankment was destroyed and so many people were killed and injured, what did the local officials do to eat? Where is the Criminal Department? ”

Lu Yu, the current secretary of the Criminal Department, slammed into a fierce spirit, and then stepped forward: "The minister is here." ”

"Immediately let the Criminal Department send someone to the local area, take down the order of Naxingze County, and bring it back to the capital for trial. I'd like to ask him what he's busy with on weekdays, and why even such an important river defense has made such a huge mistake! The Son of Heaven snorted angrily.

Now that Zhu Qiyu's power as the Son of Heaven is much stronger than that of his brother, his anger immediately made the ministers nervous, and Lu Shangshu, who was named, did not dare to slack off, so he quickly bent down and surrendered his hand. But before he straightened up, Shen Gu said again: "I still hope that Your Majesty will temporarily calm the anger of the thunder, and the minister will still have a good feeling." Liang Rong, the county magistrate of Naxingze County, has already died in the process of resisting the flood, so he ......"

"Huh?" The emperor was stunned: "Is there such a thing?" This made his anger suddenly suppressed, people died greatly, and the Liang County Order still died in the process of fighting the disaster, so not only was there no fault, but the court also had to be compensated.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven finally calmed down, Shen Gu seized the opportunity to play again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority is to quickly send officials to the local area to appease the people and deal with the floods. As for who should be held responsible for this flood, we can wait for a while. ”

"Well, what Shen Qing said is true, I will allow you to invite. All the grain, baggage, and silver money should be arranged by your household department at its discretion. I have only one request, and that is that no innocent people should be allowed to die from this flood under any circumstances. The emperor nodded in response, and at the same time made his own request.

"Obey. The ministers and the relevant officials of the Ministry of Household will do their best to rescue the local floods in Kaifeng and protect the people of Li. Shen Gu hurriedly agreed, and then retreated.

After this episode, the atmosphere of the next court meeting was slightly depressing, and only when an official of the Ministry of War reported the number of the Mongolian tribes that had returned to the Ming Dynasty from the grassland in the past six months, the emperor's face showed a smile of satisfaction: "Well done." Yu Qing, your military department should be more attentive in this matter. In addition, the household department can also help to provide more money and food to settle these Mongolian tribes who are willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light. As long as they are sincerely attached, I will treat each other as good people, but I can't let them be wronged. ”

Because Lu Zhen changed the relationship between the result of the change of seizing the door, Yu Qian, who had been unjustly killed by Zhu Qizhen, who had already regained the throne, was still alive and well at this time, and he was still the secretary of his military department. At this time, when he heard this order, he hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order, and then replied without greed: "Your Majesty, in fact, this time can make so many Mongolian tribes attached to my military department dare not be praised, in the final analysis, it is the efforts of the people of Jinyi Wei to promote this matter." It was the secret spies sent by the Jinyi Guard to lobby in many ways in the grassland, so that these tribes broke away from the control of Warat and fell under the rule of my Damei. ”

When he reminded him, Zhu Qiyu's face also showed a sudden smile: "I remember, this is a new strategy for the Mongolian people proposed by Lu Qing to me more than two years ago. It was only because many courtiers did not think about it at the time that I left it behind. I didn't expect that it had only been two or three years of work, and it had already achieved such results, so it seemed that Lu Qing had made a great contribution to my Daming. As he spoke, his gaze swept downward, but there was only a group of slightly embarrassed courtiers below, but Lu Jin, whom he hoped to see, was not among them.

With Lu Jin's current status, he is naturally qualified to participate in the court meeting. However, because he was worried about making the courtiers jealous, he would not come unless there was something important. Today is naturally average, which makes the Son of Heaven feel a little disappointed.

This disappointment did not dissipate until after the retreat. After the Son of Heaven changed his clothes in the palace, he said to one of the attendants beside him: "Later, you can go to my inner library to pick up a few pieces of collection and send them to Wei Chengbo's mansion, and tell him that I will remember his merits." ”

"The slave obeys the order, Your Majesty's treatment of Wei Chengbo is really a great emperor."

"He lives up to me, and I naturally won't treat him badly." The Emperor smiled. Immediately, he remembered a little more, and Zhengse said: "In addition, you go and talk to Wei Chengbo again, now that Henan is suffering from floods, it is inevitable that some Xiaoxiao will take advantage of it, so that he can ask Jinyiwei to keep an eye on me, but don't make any trouble." By the way, he also asked him to send someone to Xingze County to check and see why the river embankment was so easily washed away by the river. ”

"The slave and maid will receive the order, and the slave and maid will go to Wei Chengbo's mansion." The chamberlain hurriedly said yes and withdrew.
