readx; In the early morning of the next day, the news of Li Laiheng's recovery of Chongqing naturally aroused heated discussions in the DPRK and China, especially in the cabinet. www.biquge.infoHeaded by neutralist ministers such as Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin, and Yuan Keli, as well as some newly promoted officials, they believed that the victory of the official army was particularly precious after repeated defeats on various battlefields, and that it should be rewarded heavily to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers.

However, many Donglin officials believed that since the emperor had sent Cheng Ji to supervise the army, Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng should wait for Cheng Ji to arrive in the army, and then follow the order. Now that Cheng Ji's life has not yet arrived in Hubei, the two generals have rushed forward without authorization, although this battle was won by luck, it is still a merit that cannot be offset, and it should be reprimanded.

Of course, there are also those who defend the two generals, such as Wang Fuzhi, a scholar in the middle school, who believes that the second general will set off first, and Cheng Ji will lead the order to supervise the army later. The second general marched quickly, and he didn't know that the emperor had sent a prison army again, which is the so-called "those who don't know are not guilty".

Another member of the Donglin Party immediately retorted: Since Li Laiheng can fly a pigeon to pass a book to report success, can't the imperial court fly a pigeon to pass a book and order him to stop waiting for his life?

Wang Fuzhi started from the principle of flying pigeons, and immediately refuted it: the expeditionary force is moving, and the carrier pigeons can fly back to the Beijing division, but the carrier pigeons of the Beijing division do not know the movements of the expeditionary force, so they naturally cannot return to the army.

Just when the officials were arguing about this matter, Emperor Zhu Youzhen was uncharacteristically silent and was not in a hurry to express his position.

Some time ago, Zhu Youzhen rarely went to the court, and basically he was only busy with one thing, that is, meeting and training newly promoted officials. He was also busy with the Ministry of Officials, the appointment and transfer of local officials by the Ministry of Officials before, basically to the level of the county order of Zhengqipin, the following county officials, the main book, the history of the low-level officials, often reported from below, the Ministry of Officials went through an approval process, so the low-level officials are basically inherited from father to son.

This time, however, Zhu Youzhen demanded that a large number of new science and technology scholars be sent to the localities to serve as magistrates, county officials, chief bookkeepers, and canonical histories, and that all the officials who had been replaced be summoned to Beijing to report on their work, and those with outstanding political achievements would be promoted, and those who were mediocre or incompetent would be demoted or dismissed.

That's too much work. Thousands of new science and technology scholars have to make transfers to thousands of positions. It is also necessary to take into account various factors such as place of origin, the age of officials, etc., to keep Sun Chengzong busy.

Zhu Youzhen took this opportunity to move the yamen of the ministry to the Forbidden City on the grounds of "facilitating the office of the ministry and meeting the king in time if there is something to do".

The rooms in the Forbidden City are said to be nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half, and there are too many empty ones. Zhu Youzhen simply cleaned up a palace in the north of the Wenhua Palace, known as the "South Three Institutes", and asked the officials to move in. There are more than 200 rooms in the three southern offices, and although there are many staff members, only 50 rooms are occupied, and the rest are temporarily empty. In this way, working under the emperor's nose, the problem of officials prevaricating and procrastinating has really been reduced a lot.

After nearly a month of busyness, the Ministry of Officials finally arranged most of these thousands of new science and technology scholars. Some of them are quite talented, and Zhu Youzhen personally inquired about them. For example, Xiong Rulin was sent to Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province to serve as a pawn historian; Yuan Shu served as the chief secretary of Datong County, Datong Prefecture, Shanxi; Yang Tinglin served as the county magistrate of the Daimyo Prefecture of the Northern Zhili Daimyo Prefecture; Luo Mingzu served as the magistrate of Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili; Xu Guozuo was appointed as the general judge of Jinan Prefecture in Shandong; Qian Jia was appointed as the magistrate of Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture...

Before the officials were released, Zhu Youzhen personally met and encouraged them one by one. These officials who have just entered their careers are all grateful to Dai De, and they have expressed that they will make some achievements in their positions and never disappoint the emperor's grace.

Today, Zhu Youzhen drove out of the Forbidden City again, and the ministers thought that he had gone to Guozijian to train Jinshi again, and no one cared.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen turned a corner and went straight to King Xin's mansion. Since Concubine Li Zhu Cunqi entered the palace, only Chen Yuanyuan and Qiu Linna have lived here.

When the second daughter saw the emperor suddenly coming, she was surprised and delighted, but she couldn't help her tears. Zhu Youping retreated left and right, holding one in one hand, and said embarrassedly: "This time is too busy, and I have snubbed the two of you, didn't I make amends for you, so don't be sad and cry." ”

In fact, Zhu Youzhen really wanted to bring the second daughter into the palace, and Rui'er had mentioned it to him many times. In the Qin Palace, Chen Yuanyuan and Qiu Linna have integrated into this big family, and this time they have been separated for so long, and they miss each other very strongly.

Chen Yuanyuan is so smart, before Zhu Youzhen can explain, he has already said softly: "Long live don't blame yourself." Yuanyuan was born in the dust, Qiu Lina is a woman from Fanbang, with the two of us, once we enter the palace, it will attract a lot of criticism from the government and the opposition. Long live to save Yuanyuan from the sea of suffering, Yuanyuan is already grateful, and how dare he think about it. ”

Qiu Lina also said gloomily: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I know that I am a foreigner and cannot marry His Majesty as a concubine. But I still miss the days in Qinwangzhuang, my requirements are not high, as long as I can see His Majesty the Emperor often! ”

Zhu Youzhen was indifferent in his heart. Now that he had accepted these two women with rough backgrounds, how could he bear to push them out. However, what Chen Yuanyuan said was indeed what Zhu Youzhen was worried about. The public opinion controlled by feudal etiquette and religion is still very powerful, and it doesn't matter if the emperor has seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, but if a woman from Qinglou or a Western woman is a concubine, it is definitely a violation of the ancestral system, not only the Donglin Party, but all the scholars in the world will oppose it, and the bureau that Zhu Youjian has managed to set up is in danger of being disrupted.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen said with guilt on his face: "I'm sorry, although I am the emperor now, the emperor does not have the final say in everything." I'm sure I'll get you into the palace, but it may be a little while. ”

Although the two daughters didn't dare to say anything when they heard this, they all showed disappointed expressions.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly smiled: "But don't worry. I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I've arranged two interesting jobs for you, would you like to do them? ”

Chen Yuanyuan and Qiu Linna were overjoyed when they heard this: "As long as we can do things for Banzai, no matter how hard and tired we are, we are willing!" ”

"Qiulina, you are Western, and you are proficient in various Chinese." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "The imperial court is about to set up a diplomatic court, which belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and is responsible for dealing with countries around the world, and will arrange an errand for you when the time comes." The Duke of João of Portugal will be arriving in Beijing in the near future, and you will soon be in the limelight. ”

Qiu Lina was so happy that she jumped into Zhu Youzhen's arms at once, and Gege laughed and said, "Great, I hope this duke can bring me some news from Russia!" ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly took two steps back and smiled awkwardly: "As for Miss Yuanyuan, your task is more urgent, help me run a newspaper!" ”
