Lao Zhu, like all the old people in the world, hopes that his children will always stay by his side.

But he is different from the old people in the world, for the sake of the empire and the royal family, he has to endure the pain of separating all his sons.

Therefore, he pinned all his family affection on the eldest son and eldest grandson, and attached great importance to Zhu Yunxi.

This is not only because Zhu Yunxi is the emperor of the empire and cannot easily leave the imperial capital, but also because Zhu Yunxi is his most valued relative, and he is the person who will help his coffin into the underground palace in the future.

"It's good to be back......"

Lao Zhu patted Zhu Yunxi's hand with a kind face, and his heart was full of indescribable joy.

As for those rebels who upset him, he doesn't care about them anymore.

When Zhu Yunxi returned to the capital, he was sent back to the harem by Lao Zhu to reunite with a dry powder.

Although Lao Zhu really wants to have a pot with his eldest grandson and catch up with the old days. But he knows very well that the women of the harem are not easy, and they haven't seen their men for a long time.

Zhu Yunxi returned to the palace, and Queen Kong immediately took all the concubines to the gate of the palace to wait, and gave up the most conspicuous position to Mu Yao, who was holding the child.

"The concubine welcomes His Majesty back to the palace!"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand at them, and then picked up his son from Mu Yao's hands.

Mu Yao on the side looked at her son and kept urging.

"Hurry up and call my father!"

As if he hadn't heard, the little guy still looked at Zhu Yunxi with big eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi scratched his son's nose and waited for his son's "father".

I don't know if this little guy finally recognized Zhu Yunxi, or if Mu Yao on the side reminded him to play a role, and finally weakly called out to his father.

Zhu Yunxi laughed happily when he heard this, and took his son around in front of the palace several times.

"Good son!"

"Grow up quickly, and when you grow up, you will share the affairs of the country for me!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, the faces of the harem women were different, Mu Yao was frightened, and Queen Kong, Xu Miaojin, and Zhao Wan'er were smiling.

It's just that in the smiles of the three people, Kong's smile was a little more embarrassed, and Zhao Wan'er was a little more reluctant, only Xu Miaojin was really happy, and felt that Sister Mu Yao finally had hope.

When the other ministers waiting at the gate of the palace heard this, their hearts couldn't help but liven.

There were rumors about the establishment of the prince before, and now that His Majesty the Emperor says this, doesn't he confirm Zhu Wengui's position as the prince?

Although this has caused a lot of unnecessary speculation, for the parties Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Wengui, neither of them has thought much about it, they are just enjoying this rare father-son relationship.

After being jerky at the beginning, Zhu Wengui gradually became familiar with Zhu Yunxi, not only did his father shout more naturally, but he even made a request, wanting his father to hold him higher and throw it higher.

Of course, Zhu Yunxi would not let his son down, threw his son into the air hard, and then caught it steadily.

It's just that his dangerous play scared the people around him half to death, if it weren't for a few brocade guards coming up to protect them, they might have to admonish collectively.

Even so, when Zhu Yunxi put his son on the ground, there were still eyes that ran over to admonish.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you love your son, but you will not do such a dangerous action. In case it hurts the prince, or hurts His Majesty's dragon body, it will be a great loss to our Daming! ”

There is no one else who dares to say this, only Gao Ming, an old antique.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly confessed.

"What Master Gao said is that I will never do this again."

"I won't leave you masters to eat today, I'll ...... another day."

Gao Ming is also an informed and interesting person, and when he saw that His Majesty the Emperor had listened to his advice, he immediately led a group of ministers to leave, and no longer disturbed the intimacy between His Majesty the Emperor and the concubines of the harem.

Zhu Yunxi lingered in the harem for three days in a row, and Lao Zhu took up the shift for him for three days.

If it were replaced by another emperor, it is estimated that some ministers would have already written to advise Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei as examples, but it would have fallen on Zhu Yunxi's head, and they couldn't wait for His Majesty to linger in the harem for a few more days and give Da Ming a few more princes.

Otherwise, Daming Sheji pressed on the father and son, which always made people feel unsteady.

However, Zhu Yunxi only lingered for three days, and after satisfying the queen, Mu Yao, and Zhao Wan'er, he wrote a check to Xu Miaojin with a "must go" and officially went to court.

Zhu Yunxi had a lot of things to deal with, first of all, the war in the Western Regions could not be stopped, and it was necessary to reach the English Channel before the end of the year to realize the physical reunification of the Eurasian continent.

Secondly, part of the fleet was transferred from the Golden Continent to teach the small countries in the Great Ming Ocean region one by one, and to eliminate the Japanese pirates on the sea, so as to restore the Great Ming Ocean to a bright future.

Finally, it is necessary to determine the name of the Japanese province and the administrative division of the Japanese province.

Some people proposed to use Fuso, some people proposed to use Japanese slaves, and finally Qin Hengbo, who liked myths and legends, proposed to call it Dongying, which was taken from the legend of Yingzhou on the sea, and secondly, the word "Ying" originally had the meaning of "sea", which was also more in line with the geographical location of the island of the East China Sea in Japan.

Zhu Yunxi adopted this suggestion and officially included Dongying Province in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

And the map of the Ming Dynasty was revised, and the new map not only included a number of small countries around the Ming Ocean, as well as the Golden Continent, as well as the west of the Kunlun Mountains to the three islands of England.

Although many of the countries on the map have not yet belonged to the Ming Dynasty, for Zhu Yunxi, it is a matter of time.

There are only a few powerful countries in the west of the Kunlun Mountains, one is Timur and the other is the Ottomans, as long as these two are disabled, other countries do not have to worry.

As for the Great Britain, which was known as the sun never set in later generations, it was not counted at all at this time, as long as the fleet of the Ming Dynasty drove over, they had to kneel down and sing about conquest.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yunxi returned to China, because there is really no opponent in the entire Western world who is worthy of his personal appearance.

Zhu Yunxi was only responsible for making plans, and all the pressure was given to the front-line generals and the Manchu civil and military ministers.

Although the goal given by Zhu Yunxi is very large, the time is very short, and the pressure is very heavy, everyone is full of enthusiasm and hope for the future.

After Zhu Yunxi disposed of the government, the rest of the focus of his work was to celebrate Lao Zhu's birthday.

In order to make Lao Zhu happy, he didn't deal with Zhu Yunwen, and turned a blind eye to some dissenting vassal kings.

Lao Zhu was also very grateful for this, and personally went to the Jinyi Guard Prison to clean up Zhu Yunwen, and cut off Zhu Di's three guards and horses, and detained him for two years.

Other vassal kings also had corresponding punishments, but in general, the punishments were not large, and most of them were just punishments.

But this is also the limit of what Lao Zhu can do, and if it is a little heavier, he should feel distressed.

While Zhu Yunxi was busy celebrating Lao Zhu's birthday, Lan Yu, Chang Sheng and others, who were under all the pressure on him, were intensively formulating military plans.

In fact, they already had ideas about attacking the Western Regions, but it was only because of Zhu Yunxi's arrival that they had added new ideas, so they had to sit together and discuss it again.

"Now that we have taken the Ottomans, we can take the Ottoman army, provide them with weapons and armor, and let them conquer the Western world for us."

This was Chang Sheng's proposal, and he not only thought so, but also did it.

Under his instruction, the Ottoman general Ping Baoer had already begun to incorporate the Ottoman army and incorporated them into the Ming Expeditionary Force.

Lan Yu was noncommittal about Chang Sheng's proposal, but he still supported it in general, but now he was not alone in the Kangdu region, and he had to ask Lao Yin Bi Zhang Zongjun's thoughts.

Although Zhang Zongjun is only the fourth person in the Military Aircraft Department, after Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Feng Sheng, everyone knows that he is the person Zhu Yunxi trusts the most, and he is the one who is used to contain the three veterans.

Therefore, even Lan Yu, who is known for his unruliness, has to listen to Zhang Zongjun's opinion.

"Lao Zhang, can you talk about this thing?"

Zhang Zongjun didn't think about it before he opened his mouth and said in denial.

"No way!"

"We must not only consider the factor of combat strength, but also the national question of the Western world."

"There were crusades in the Western world, and their main enemy was the Ottomans. Now that we are taking the Ottomans to conquer them, it will remind them of religious aggression. ”

"Once a religious war is triggered, this is beyond our control, and it may not be fought for decades."

"Therefore, I suggest that it is better not to use the Ottomans, but only the Tatars and Timurid servants, and then actively contact the popes and patriarchs of the Western world, and preach that we are here to defend the dignity of God and to bring peace and stability to the Western world......"

When Lan Yu heard that it was so troublesome, she felt a little irritable in her heart.

"Since Master Zhang is confident, then you will be responsible for this matter, and we generals will obey orders!"

Zhang Zongjun hurriedly said when he heard this.

"Don't dare to ......"

"His Majesty the Emperor has something to say before leaving, let us discuss, whether the opinions are unanimous or not, we must start Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to decide."

"Let's write our respective suggestions into a recital and pass them on to Your Majesty by telegram so that Your Majesty can see them?"

"Good!"

Several people went back to the study to write hard, Lan Yu was relatively better, although his writing was not good, but it was not a big problem to write a strategy essay. Fu Youde is known as a talent in the army, and it is not a problem to write a recital, only Feng Sheng scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and he was stunned that he didn't hold back a word, and in the end he had no choice but to find someone else to write for him.

He was looking for no one else, it was a young man named Li Ming from Kangdu University, whom he had recently befriended.

After the fall of the Timurid Empire, Amin was completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty. After marrying Chen Ting and becoming the son-in-law of the Ming officials, he became stronger in his belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time won the trust of the officials in the Kangdu region, allowing him to enter the officialdom of the Kangdu region and become Feng Sheng's exclusive gunman.

"The student came to see Master Feng, I don't know what Lord Feng commanded?"

Feng Sheng looked at Li Ming, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and felt infinite regret in his heart.

Very good child, he also looks black hair and black eyes, if it weren't for the household registration in Kangdu, someone would believe him if he was a Ming person.

It's just a pity that this background doomed him to be unable to enter the top of the Ming officialdom for the rest of his life.

"The old man has a fold and wants you to help me write it."

"What type of recital, please?"

"Your Majesty wants to go through the Western world, you should look at writing a safe and quick and effective strategy."

Li Ming didn't say a word when he heard this, and began to write after saying the word "good" on the spot.

This surprised Feng Sheng, and said in his heart, is this kid a little reckless, and he doesn't ask what we have in the Western world to start writing?

Feng Sheng was very disappointed in his heart, he had already decided that no matter what this kid wrote, he would tear it up and let him write it again.

After a short time, Li Ming blew dry the ink on the paper and respectfully handed it to Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng looked at the handwriting that was not much better than his own, and his face couldn't help but show disdain.

But this can't be blamed on Li Ming, it's not bad for a Kangdu person to be able to write Daming characters like this in a year or two.

However, when he saw the content above, his eyes instantly straightened, and it was not until half an hour later that Feng Sheng turned back from his shock.

"Is this really what you wrote?"

"Master Feng, weren't you always by your side when the student was writing the recital, have you ever seen the student protending to be in someone's hands?"

Feng Sheng blushed with shame when he heard this, he was the one who faked his hands to others!

"You have a name!"

"His Majesty the Emperor knows us, and knows that this is not something we can write, so let's tell the truth!"

Li Ming's heartbeat instantly accelerated when he heard this, this was an opportunity to reach the heavens.

But he thought about it again and again and refused, firstly, because he didn't want to show up so quickly, and secondly, he also wanted to repay Feng Sheng's kindness, if it wasn't for General Feng Sheng's promotion, he would not have successfully married the lady of the Ming officials and became half of the Ming people.

"My lord, if the student doesn't want to ask for credit, it's still your name."

Feng Sheng saw that Li Ming was quite sincere, and knew that he was telling the truth, so he no longer shirked it.

"Good!"

"But if Your Majesty asks, we must be telling the truth."

"In my Ming Dynasty, loyalty is the first, you can not be capable enough, bad conduct, but you can't be disloyal to Your Majesty!"

Feng Sheng's words were not only said to Li Ming, but also to himself, and it was also a portrayal of his life as a minister.

Hearing this, Li Ming thanked Feng Sheng gratefully, knowing that this was General Feng's expectation of himself, hoping that he could become a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

But his own family knows his own affairs, and once his identity is exposed, I am afraid that there will be no place for him in the world.

After all, who would trust someone who was born an assassin?

The next day, Lan Yu reconvened the military opportunity, and collected the notes of the five people at the meeting, and sent them to the telegraph room together.

After that, it was waiting, because it was too far away from the center of the Ming Dynasty, even if there was a telegram blessing, it would not be possible to receive a reply in a few hours, so Lan Yu ordered someone to prepare wine and food.

The wine is naturally a local characteristic wine, the kind that can't get drunk after drinking a few jars.

The dishes are also local specialties, such as roasted humps, roasted whole lamb and the like.

Zhang Zongjun was as good as a stream, and did not pretend to be high because he was a civil official, but followed Lan Yu and others to shout five and drink six punches and guess wine.

This is also the magic weapon that he can integrate into the military aircraft department so quickly and get along with these veterans very happily.

Although several people were engrossed in drinking and eating meat, everyone's spirits were highly tense, and their ears were always pricked up, listening to the movement in the telegraph room next door.

Because this report is very important, whose advice His Majesty takes, then the military and political power of Kangdu will be in whose hands in the next few years.

As for the others, it can only be subordinate.

If you are unlucky, you may be transferred back to the capital by Your Majesty in advance for retirement.

Although Lan Yu, Feng Sheng and others often complained that they were too old to fight for the country, it was just a means to invite merit, and they wanted to win more opportunities for their children.

Really let them go home to care for the elderly, and ensure that they die of depression.

"Master, can you tell me what you wrote?"

For the sake of fairness, Lan Yu just put away everyone's notes and handed them over to the people in the telegraph room to translate and send, and never looked at them again.

Fu Youde said vigilantly when he heard this.

"What we can write is nothing more than a rehash of the same old tune."

"In my opinion, Your Majesty will only choose from your and Lao Zhang's recitals, and Feng Sheng and I are just making up the numbers."

Feng Sheng, who was gnawing on the leg of mutton, heard this, and hurriedly made a vague "um" sound.

"Yes, yes...... We're just making it up! ”

Lan Yu glanced at Feng Sheng on the spot, who doesn't know that this product is made up, now we just want to know what the other two wrote!

Seeing that Fu Youde refused to reveal it, Lan Yu licked his face and asked Zhang Zongjun again. Zhang Zongjun was quite frank and retold the contents of yesterday's military aircraft meeting, but he ignored what he thought of later.

Lan Yu was relieved when he heard this, because he not only wrote his strategy into it, but also wrote the religious matters mentioned by Zhang Zongjun into his own recital.

If Zhang Zongjun didn't go home and didn't rush to work overnight, then his performance would have the greatest hope.

However, just when Lan Yu Zhizhu was in his hands, thinking that he must be favored by His Majesty, the confidential personnel of the telegraph room ran over.

"Your Majesty has called back!"

Lan Yu hurriedly stood up and asked nervously.

"Who did Your Majesty choose?"

The confidential officer shook his head.

"It's not decided yet, Your Majesty just asked General Feng, is his recital ghostwritten?"

"Huh?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Feng Sheng, and Feng Sheng looked at him uncomfortably.

"What do you think we're doing?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu snorted and stepped forward and snatched Feng Sheng's leg of mutton.

"Okay, you old Feng, I thought you were an honest man, but I didn't expect you to play yin!"

"Say!"

"What did you write in the song?"

When Feng Sheng heard this, he snorted.

"We don't know anything, we went home yesterday and handed over the song to the staff to write, who knows what he wrote......"

"Call your staff, the old man will meet him!"
