Yang Zhicong knelt down and bowed, and gestured with his hands in front of his chest.

"The Qing family is flat!" Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "I summoned you today to ask, are there any large-scale non-governmental organizations in the capital?" ”

Yang Zhicong stared at Zhu Qizhen's lips tightly, and when he finished speaking, he stepped forward, picked up the pen on the imperial case and wrote two words-

White Lotus.

Seeing these two words, Zhu Qizhen frowned and asked, "Hasn't the White Lotus Sect been exterminated by Emperor Taizu Gao?" ”

Yang Zhicong shook his head lightly and wrote a few more words: Resurgence.

Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy, and after a while, he asked, "Do you know the two recent store murder and robbery cases?" ”

Yang Zhicong picked up the pen and wrote down a word: three.

"Three?" Zhu Qizhen asked, "Aren't there just two?" ”

Yang Zhicong continued: Half a month ago, Tongfu Warehouse.

Half a month ago, Zhu Qizhen was still eating sand in the desert, and he really didn't know about Tongfu Warehouse.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Listen to the top card of the Rain Pavilion, Song Guxi, do you know?" ”

Yang Zhicong nodded first, and then shook his head again.

Zhu Qizhen understood that Yang Zhicong meant to know this person, but he didn't know what special identity he had behind it.

"There is a problem with this person, I have already asked Jinyiwei to investigate, but I am worried that I will startle the snake, you check in secret, if you find anything, you can show it to me at any time!"

…………

The next day, Zhu Qizhen still slept until he woke up naturally, and was drinking porridge, when Huai En came to pass the word and asked to see the king.

"Let him wait in the imperial study!"

Poor Zhu Qiyu has to get up at three o'clock in the morning every day, and just after going to the morning court, he didn't eat a bite of food, so he came to the imperial study and waited obediently.

It's boring to wait, so I looked around and found a lot of drawings scattered on the table.

He picked one up curiously, looked at it a few times, and suddenly looked strange.

If you dare to love the emperor, you are studying this thing?

Besides, what is this, how does it look like a stove for boiling water......

"My brother has been waiting for a long time!"

Hearing the sound behind him, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly put down the drawings and turned around to salute.

"The younger brother has seen the emperor!"

"Excuse me!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and then said, "There are no outsiders here, sit down and talk!" ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair cautiously and said, "When the younger brother came, there were a few things to report to the imperial brother in person. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Qiyu took out a note and said: "This is the details of the rewards for the soldiers on this expedition, and it is the charter drawn up by the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, please take a look at it." ”

After Zhu Qizhen took it, he looked carefully from the beginning, Kuang Yu, the secretary of the military department, and the prince and the prince; Taining Hou Chen Ying, awarded the special entry into Ronglu doctor; Li Zhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, entered the Marquis of Xiangcheng, and added the prince Taibao; Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai, plus the prince Shaobao; Fan Zhong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, entered the Jue Zhongwu Bo; Luo Tong in the military department, promoted to the right attendant of the military department......

"Was this charter drafted by Yu Qian?"

Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised and asked, "Brother Huang already knows?" ”

"Not really!" Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "Yu Qian has a characteristic of doing things, that is, he is absolutely fair, and everyone's rewards are impartial and reasonable, but it's just ......."

Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and looked at it again, and asked, "Why is there no British Duke among them?" ”

"Regarding the reward of the British duke, Yu Qian and the cabinet can't make up their minds, and the ministers don't dare to make their own decisions, and they still need the royal brother to decide personally."

"If you deserve to be rewarded, what's the difficulty?"

"Brother Huang!" Zhu Qiyu looked entangled and said, "The British Duke is now a Taishi, Guanglu Doctor, Zuo Zhuguo, and Yilian Zuoli heroes, and they have no reward. ”

Zhu Qizhen understood that for a meritorious service of Zhang Fu's level, he could only be crowned a king if he was rewarded.

"Why don't you make a king with a different surname?"

Zhu Qiyu trembled and said: "Brother Huang should be cautious, I am the ancestral system, and a different surname cannot be crowned king, unless it is a ......"

Unless it is a posthumous posthumous confession, but the British Duke is still alive and well, this kind of words are unlucky, so I swallowed it back.

"So what do you say?"

"The younger brother has no idea, so he can only be decided by the royal brother."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and asked, "When the king of Zhongshan County returned from the Northern Expedition, how did Emperor Taizu Gao reward him?" ”

Zhang Fu's current situation is very similar to Xu Da back then, before Xu Da went out on the expedition, he had already accumulated officials to the Taifu, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, the state affairs of the army and the prince and the young master, and was named the Duke of Wei.

The Northern Expedition broke through the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, drove the remnants of the Yuan forces back to Mobei, and once again made an immortal feat, which stumped Zhu Yuanzhang, because there was nothing to reward.

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Brother Chen doesn't know. ”

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a long time, then slapped the table and said, "Simply, I will be crowned a king!" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly became nervous and persuaded, "It's so against the ancestral system, Brother Huang...... Think it through? ”

"Are you worried that Qingliu will come out and make noise?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Brother Huang's move will definitely cause the court to shake." ”

"Let them say it, if they say that the sky is broken, how can they still erase the merits of the people?" Zhu Qizhen was full of indifference, and continued, "Britain has made great achievements in public war, and he should be rewarded, if anyone is not convinced, let him also make a meritorious service for me to see!" ”

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "What kind of king does the imperial brother plan to give to the British duke?" ”

"My brother thinks it's ......" Zhu Qizhen suddenly smiled and asked, "How is the King of Jiaozhi?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, what do you mean, didn't Jiaozhi give up a long time ago?

Emperor Taizong changed the political envoy of Jiaozhi after conquering Annan, but the civil strife continued, and during the Xuanzong period, it was the father of these two, adhering to the policy of Emperor Renzong to recuperate, simply gave up Jiaozhi and canonized Chen Wei as the king of Annam, and from then on, Annam became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty again.

So far, this new province has only been under the name of the Ming Dynasty for 21 years, and it has been separated again.

Zhu Qizhen's mind turned and said: "The first emperor canonized Chen Wei as the king of Annam, but he didn't say that he would revoke the political envoy of Jiaozhibu, don't you say?" ”

"This ......"

Zhu Qiyu was confused, does this still need to issue a separate edict?

It's already been canonized as kings, isn't it clear enough......

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "When Emperor Taizong changed Annan to Jiaozhi, this is no problem, right?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "No problem!" ”

"That's it!"

Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up, and he continued: "The first emperor canonized Chen Wei as the king of Annam, but in fact, it was just a name, just like Emperor Taizu canonized the Duke of Guo, like the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Han, the Duke of Zheng, the Duke of Cao, and the Duke of Song...... Wait, this Wei State, South Korea, Zheng State, and Song State are all the titles of the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, just a name, it does not mean that the Duke of Wei can restore the Wei State, and the Duke of Korea can restore Korea, don't you say? ”

For some reason, Zhu Qiyu felt very reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded.

"So, the same is true of this king of Annam, and if he is canonized, it doesn't mean that he can restore the previous dynasty, right?"

"Like...... That's the truth! Zhu Qiyu frowned and said, "But our army has long since withdrawn to the Central Plains and lost control of Jiaozhi. ”

"That's better!" Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "The army has withdrawn, you can drive over again!" ”

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a while and said, "Brother Huang, the younger brother has no bottom in his heart, so it's better to discuss it with the cabinet." ”

"You just convey my meaning as it is, and if the cabinet has any problems, come and tell me directly!"

"Just do what the royal brother says, and the younger brother will leave!"

After Zhu Qiyu made up his mind, he turned around and left, and just walked to the door and turned back and took out a drawing.

"By the way, Brother Huang, this is the construction drawings of the Martyrs' Shrine submitted by the Ministry of Industry, please take a look!"

Zhu Qizhen only glanced at it, and then said: "There are too many problems, I have to change them myself, you go first!" ”
