On October 16, the Ministry of Rites asked for a big wedding, but Zhu Youxiao excused himself on the grounds of mourning, and the Ministry of Rites asked again, so he agreed to choose the person in charge first, and then choose an auspicious day to start doing this.

On the fifth day of the first day of December, Fang Zhenru, the imperial historian of Huguang Road, played a performance, thinking that the emperor should get married early, so that the queen could preside over the palace, and some people who wanted to flatter the emperor could be fearful. Zhu Youxiao replied: "Got it." So the matter of choosing a marriage was put on the agenda.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao agreed at this time was because Jin Yiwei reported that Zhang Yan was completely normal, and his father and stepmother were preparing for the beauty pageant, and more importantly, Zhou Yuji received another letter, which only had a simple sentence: "If someone asks about your master's relatives, let your master say that he is the nephew of Zhang Guoji, the secretary of the Yunnan Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Households." And the brocade guard reported to Baozhu in a dream at night, "Your Majesty, please pardon the cousin Zhu Xiaoqi of the concubine." Zhu Youxiao was really moved and relieved. She is affectionate to herself, but she only knew that she couldn't do anything, so she agreed to participate in the marriage election, and at least one purpose of being elected to the palace was also to save herself, such an infatuated and beautiful woman, she really picked up a treasure.

Of course, he will not interfere in the marriage election, because in his mind, with Zhang Yan's beauty, there will really be a ghost if she can't choose the primary election, as long as she gets to the palace, the Hakka family will also participate, she knows about it, and of course she won't let her not be selected.

Because of the expectation of beautiful women, Zhu Youxiao is in a good mood. At this time, the Ministry of Industry played, this year was originally the forty-eighth year of Wanli, and the next year after his father ascended the throne should be the first year of Taichang, but his father was only the emperor for one month, and after he ascended the throne, next year became the first year of the Apocalypse, so this year had to be changed to the first year of Taichang. This has been agreed upon by the ministers a long time ago. But his father was the emperor, and there must be a copper coin with the name of the year to be issued, so the Ministry of Industry means that from now until the first year of the Apocalypse, the Taichang coin will be minted. And because of the difference between the north and the south, one hundred wen in the south is one penny of silver, and sixty-three wen in the north is one penny of silver. Zhu You calibrated the performance of the Ministry of Works, and at the same time remembered the matter of the minting machine, and asked Xu Guangqi to ask the missionary.

Xu Guangqi reported that after receiving his letter, the missionaries had people take the ship back to the West, and that there should be news of the minting machine and the drawing craftsmen by June next year. And although the missionaries did not have drawings, two missionaries had seen the machine that made gold coins for the church, and it could not be made, but at least some basic information such as the size and the personnel who used the site were still known, and the construction of the site, houses and water power could be carried out in advance. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, another name is Li Zhizao, who is currently the envoy of Gaoyou, responsible for the governance of the Nanhe. He used to be the Shaoqing of Nanjing Taifu Temple. ”

"Which ministry is in charge of minting money now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the head of the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and the following political secretaries also have the Baoquan Bureau, which can also mint money."

"It's really chaotic, this really has to be changed, pass on the decree, and promote Li Zhizao to be the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple and the director of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of the mint, and prepare for various matters of the mint in advance. The two missionaries were asked to help him choose a site and build a house. ”

"Your Majesty, does the mint belong to the Baoyuan Bureau?"

"The mint is directly under the Ministry of Industry, and the Baoyuan Bureau will be merged into the mint in the future."

Xu Guangqi was relieved when he got such an answer, his good friend was promoted, and this matter happened to be what he liked and was good at, and more importantly, there was no one to hinder him, and when he came back, he seemed to be begging for a glass of wine.

Luo Sigong came to report that Luo Yangxing broke a spy den of Jiannu in Shenyang, and caught a total of thirteen spies under Jiannu Nurhachi's nephew Tong Buchang. Tong Yangxing was the first traitor to throw himself into Nurhachi, and the wife of the slave chief was the daughter of the clan, called "Shi Wuli Forehead", and was awarded the third-class deputy general.

Zhu Youxiao was very proud when he saw the results so quickly. It was decreed that Luo Sigong was promoted to the governor of Jinyi and Wei and was still in charge of Jinyi Guard, and Luo was promoted to be the commander of Jinyi Guard. He also encouraged them to continue to work hard to dig out all the spies in Liaodong.

Yang Lian has been promoted, and now he has become the military department, and he said that some time ago, about Li Xuan's move to the palace, the foreign court may not know everything, please allow the minister to tell the whole story. Then from his point of view, he talked about the removal of the palace, and even the fire in the Luan Palace, he said that the purpose of the performance was that someone misunderstood the emperor, saying that the emperor treated his family harshly, and he wanted to defend the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao thought that he had his perspective, at least he felt that Li Xuanzhi had the possibility of hanging the curtain, so he would treat Li Xuanzhi like that, for him, this was understandable, and it would be clear if he listened to it. However, he didn't believe that Yang Lian was specially here to whitewash him, and he didn't have anything to clear his name, he knew very well how he treated Li Xuanzhi, Yang Lian was whitewashing for himself, and wanted to get the emperor's approval of the move to the palace. Therefore, he ordered the clerk to pass on Yang Lian: This performance, the dust of me will be washed.

Originally, he was just sarcastic about Yang Lian, but he didn't want Fang Congzhe to immediately speak: "The emperor issued Yang Lian's post, and there was dirt in it. Eavesdropping on all the actions of the emperor from the palace to the palace, China and foreign countries know that there is no dust and dirt, why should it be washed? Lian's indignation on that day has been praised by heaven, that is, the same edict, if it is done separately, the matter will be creative, China and foreign countries will increase suspicion and horror, and the official will not be able to settle down. ”

That's a good thing to say, and that's what the real old man says. Now the voice of Fang Congzhe in the court is too strong, but when he deals with Fang Congzhe every day, he finds that he and Fang Congzhe's views are often very similar, sometimes only the emperor and the first assistant hold the same view in the Manchu Dynasty, and when other people are clamoring, even if it is only for the reason of sympathy, he will definitely not let Fang Congzhe step down.

Thinking of this, he remembered Xiong Tingbi again, last time he was forced to dismiss Xiong Tingbi under the pressure of the ministers, because he didn't know how Xiong Tingbi was doing, isn't there a saying that "there is no investigation, there is no right to speak", so should you send someone to Liaodong to take a look? You can also ask Luo Yangxing to express his views on the last performance, but he is mainly anti-espionage, and he may not pay attention to these things.

On the seventh day of the first month of December, he ordered the military department to send Zhu Tongqin to Liaodong to investigate the affairs of Liaodong and report it to the imperial court.

At this time, Liaodong Economic Strategy Yuan Yingtai asked Jiang Bi, the general of the East Association of Jizhen Town, to be the deputy chief soldier to aid Liao, and of course he had to support the matter of dealing with Jiannu, and Zhu You calibrated it. Moreover, on the 10th day of December, he decreed: Remembering the diligence of the officers and soldiers guarding the border, it is appropriate to reward them. The Ministry of Rites, together with the Ministry of War, checked the actual number of officers and soldiers along the border from Liaodong to Gansu. The capital camp is in chaos like this, and if there is no disadvantage in the far border of the Emperor of the Mountain, it will really be a hell of a thing.
