Chapter 435: The Prince's History

Thank you for the monthly pass support of Longtian Dasheng 868, For love, and Don't Fall Boy!

……

Jingshi, the palace of the king of Myanmar and Laos.

Although Zhu Cijiong was named the king of Burma, his palace was in Beijing. Zhu Youxiao did not stipulate that the prince must leave the capital when he reached the age of majority, but only stipulated that he must leave the palace after reaching the age of eighteen. Regarding the prince's future arrangements, Zhu Youxiao only gave them a piece of property, and was not responsible for anything else, even the construction of the palace was responsible for himself. This makes Zhu Cijiong's palace extremely simple, that is, a two-entry courtyard.

"The emperor decreed yesterday that princes who have reached the age of eighteen must go through everything. Wen Shangshu, have you ever heard of it? Zhu Cijiong asked.

"The minister has already heard that this time the matter is related to the ownership of the prince, and His Royal Highness must be cautious." Wen Tiren replied. Wen Tiren is Zhu Cijiong's staunchest supporter.

"I know what's at stake, but I don't know what to do. The emperor means that we can choose our own affairs, whether we can be in the military, politics, business, or even other affairs. Wen Shangshu, I hope you can give me a suggestion. Zhu Cijiong pleaded.

"Ever since the minister got the news, he has been thinking about this issue. The minister thought that it was most appropriate to go to the military department. Wen Tiren said.

"The military department? Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the military department, has always been neutral, and he seems reluctant to get involved in the dispute for the crown prince. Zhu Cijiong said.

"First, since last year, there has been a major overhaul and a new General Political Department has been established, which, according to His Majesty's will, will be the most important department of the War Department; Second, Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has won the trust of His Majesty, and at the latest in the next cabinet selection, he will serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, and now is the best time to go to the Ministry of War; Third, His Majesty is committed to expanding the territory, and in the past few years, he has been fighting in the south and the north, and the east and the west, and it is an easy place to make contributions in the military department. Wen Tiren explained.

"Then I'll go to the military department." Zhu Cijiong nodded and said.

"According to Your Majesty's temper, no matter where you go, you must start from the grassroots level, and you are very likely to serve as an official of the military department, and you must be calm when the time comes." Wen Tiren admonished.

"Xie Wen Shangshu reminds!" Zhu Cijiong said politely.

……

There is also a prince who needs to participate in the calendar is Zhu Ciyan, Zhu Cijun was named the king of central Burma by Zhu Youxiao, and all the imperial houses in central Burma were given to Zhu Cijun.

Although Zhu Ciyan was raised by Zhang Yan since he was a child, he has a very good relationship with the military. Duan Chunfei was born in Nanjing Yingyangwei, and her father Duan Huangyi was the commander of Yingyangwei. Zhu Youxiao did not prohibit exchanges between the palace and outside the palace, Zhu Cijun and his grandfather often had dealings, and had a good relationship with many generals in the Dadu Governor's Mansion and Yingtian Governor's Mansion.

Zhu Cijun studied in a military academy, and he chose to join the army this time.

"Ciyan, which Governor's Mansion are you going to go to to join the army?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Lanzhou Governor's Mansion." Zhu Cijun said.

"Why did you choose the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Father, whether the empire is going to conquer the west of Weitra Mongolia or the northern expedition to Russia, the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion will bear the brunt, the child wants to go to the battlefield to see, and wants to see with his own eyes the immortal feats established by his father." Zhu Cijun said.

"You want to go to war?" Zhu Youxiao asked curiously.

"Yes." Zhu Ciyan nodded.

"It's very dangerous to go to the battlefield, even if you stay in the rear, it's very dangerous, you have to think clearly." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Ciyan, you can go to the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion to go to the Governor's Mansion, but you don't need to actually go to the battlefield." Zhang Yan persuaded him. Zhu Ciyan was raised by Zhang Yan since he was a child, and Zhang Yan still has deep feelings for him.

"Mother, the child really thinks very clearly, my father defeated the Han in Datong Mansion and defeated Jianyu in Liaodong, so that he was able to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty again, not to mention that I will not go to the front-line battlefield, that is, I want to go and see." Zhu Ciyan said softly.

"It's impossible to go to the battlefield to see, if the army is damaged because of your mistakes, I will send you directly to Burma." Zhu Youxiao said solemnly.

"The child understands that the child will not disappoint his father." Zhu Cijun said.

"yes, I'm right." Zhu Youxiao nodded.

"Thank you, Father Huang Longen!" Zhu Ciyan said happily.

"Also, Zhongxing Daming is not because I defeated Jian Han in Datong Mansion and Jianyu in Liaodong, all of this is just a natural result, think about it more when I go back." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

……

After Zhu Ciyan left, Zhang Yan asked, "Why do you have to go to the princes?" ”

"I don't want to have another 'why not eat minced meat' emperor in the future, only by really going to the people can I really know the suffering of the people." Zhu Youxiao explained.

"But Ci Yan is going to the battlefield this time, and the emperor is not ready to stop it?" Zhang Yan complained.

"The road was chosen by himself, and I will not stop it, not to mention that even if Ci Yan goes to the battlefield, his life should not be in danger." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Choose a family business for Tzu Yan before he sets out on the expedition." Zhang Yan said softly.

"You can do it!" Zhu Youxiao said.

"Then the concubine will make her own decisions." Zhang Yan said.

……

In the end, Zhu Cijiong went to the military department to serve as an official of the General Political Department, and Zhu Cijiong went to the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion after getting married. Although only two princes will participate in the calendar this year, several princes will participate in the calendar in the next few years, and the calendar is directly related to the selection of the crown prince.

At the beginning of October, Zheng Zhilong, the king of Kyushu, ushered in the first batch of scholars from the Ming Dynasty, led by Qian Qianyi and Gong Dingyu, among whom the most unsuccessful scholars were refuted.

Although Zhu Youxiao doesn't like them, it is a very big asset for Zheng Zhilong, who is extremely short of people. Zheng Zhilong not only specially hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain them, but also entrusted them with important tasks.

Qian Qianyi served as the Minister of Taizheng, Gong Dingyu served as Minister Zuo, and the rest of the people were settled.

The arrival of Qian Qianyi, Gong Dingyu and others also brought earth-shaking changes to Kyushu, and they formulated many new systems according to the situation of Dongying and the system of the Ming Dynasty, and strengthened the royal power through the system. In the past, the rule of the king of Kyushu was partly based on righteousness, but now it is completely based on the system.

Although Zheng Zhilong's sworn brother was a little dissatisfied with this before, Zheng Zhilong was very happy to see these changes, which for him, all these changes were beneficial to him.

And at the time of the Kyushu Reform, Wang Sai'er took advantage of the loopholes that appeared in the shogunate's preparations for war to escape from Edo.
