In the Qianqing Palace of the new pattern, there are several things that are very conspicuous now.

In the past, after the Qianqing Gate came in, it was a road higher than the ground, which led directly to the cloud platform in front of the Qianqing Palace, and divided the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace into two parts.

This Qianqing Palace, Yongle was destroyed by fire in 20 years, and then rebuilt. Zhengde was destroyed by fire in the ninth year and then rebuilt.

When Zhu Houxi moved in, this Qianqing Palace was still "quite new". Not long after ascending the throne, it was only the Nissei Gate that was burned, and it was rebuilt at that time.

In the previous re-planning and renovation of the imperial city, the Qianqing Palace now has a new look.

On both sides of the main hall, the new two side halls have their own separate courtyard walls, and there is a fireproof wall between them and the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, forming their own independent small courtyards. They have a gate in the corridor leading to the Zhongyuan Hall on the east and west sides of the Qianqing Palace, and there is also a courtyard gate on the lower platform in the courtyard.

The two side halls were changed to the names of Shohito and Hongde respectively. And the use, the Shoin Hall in the east is the Inner Stall, and the Hongdeok Hall in the west is the Imperial Study.

Coming in from the Yuehua Gate in the west and the Rijing Gate in the east, plus the two sides of the Qianqing Gate, three whole rows of corridors can come in handy.

They are not the things that are conspicuous in the Qianqing Palace now. The flagpole-type thunderbolt pillars and flags on the main hall and the two side halls are obvious, and on the ground on the left and right sides of the cloud platform, the entrance of the imperial study is a bell pavilion, and the entrance of the inner stall division is a "weather station".

The grandfather clock is no stranger to everyone, but the "weather station" has a special thermometer on it, a small windmill that measures the wind direction and speed, and a container for measuring rainfall.

The eunuchs under Huang Jin also have the task of recording meteorological data here every day according to the plan of the Doctoral Research Institute.

On the cloud platform at the entrance of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, there were originally some sculptures and ritual vessels of Rui beasts, but now there are two new pavilions. One of them, which houses a set of standard metrology tools. The other, with a telescope inside, is placed.

Since telescopes and microscopes can be made, astronomical telescopes that specialize in observing celestial phenomena can naturally be trial-produced.

Tan Lun looked up at the pavilion where the Heavenly Mirror was placed on the gimbal, and then walked into the courtyard where the imperial study was located.

It is probably because His Majesty encouraged his courtiers to always maintain the heart of seeking heavenly reason, so he placed this new thing here as a ritual weapon.

"I heard that His Majesty will also watch the stars at night. There is a translation of the writings of Westerners in the library building of the Central Circle Hall, which is said to be heliocentric......"

Tan Lun entered his new "office" and listened to several other colleagues walking in the imperial study and chatting.

Yang Bo and the others went to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, which is the special office area for the imperial study to accompany the bachelors and walkers. The emperor received his subordinates and moved back to the Qianqing Palace.

And the Heart Cultivation Hall is continuing to change. The front and back yards will soon be separated, and the front yard will have a new purpose: the party affairs institute of the Datong Party in the world.

The emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, and the Yang Xin Palace, which had served as the center of the empire for nearly twenty years, was in charge of party affairs, which is also thought-provoking.

Tan Lun started his work in the imperial study, he was responsible for connecting with the political envoys, and all the notes to be submitted to the imperial study, he needed to sort them out first.

In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Yang Shen, Xia Yan, and Yan Song were all there, in order to make three parts.

"When did Full Speed have this ability?" Zhu Houxi questioned.

Of the three notes, one was presented by the Qinggan Border Region, one was reported back by the DPRK Propaganda Embassy, and one was the report of Yan Shifan.

Now, Zhu Houxi is concerned about the west first.

Xia Yan was very solemn: "Things can't be faked." Now, the merchants in Xining border city have stopped. From the west, there were constantly merchants of the Ming Dynasty and foreign domains who had been able to hide in. Turpan and Na Yarkand are fighting fiercely, but judging from the reports, they seem to be overwhelmed. I heard that there was also the descendant of Timur, the Indian Mughal, who helped him to flank Yarkand. ”

Zhu Houxi was surprised by another point: "Doesn't I go there every year?" Judging from the time, he should also be over there, and he hasn't returned to Mobei yet. I actually sit back and watch this fisherman at full speed? ”

"Your Majesty, with the national strength of Turpan, even with foreign aid, it is difficult to capture Yarkand." Xia Yan said his judgment, "The banner raised by Man Su'er is the name of the Great Khan of the Great Khan of the Restoration of the Gatai Khanate. Knowing that I am eyeing him, I still want to shout such words, I have already occupied some of the territory of the former Chagatai Khanate! This matter, the fault is not my answer, I don't have such courage to do so! ”

Yang Shen's hair turned a little whiter: "Gong Jin's meaning, I promised the benefits of Full Speed, and now I am an ally?" ”

Xia Yan nodded: "My ambition is not small!" In the past, the four khanates of the Mengyuan were divided, didn't there be Chagatai? Your Majesty, this is my strategy to encircle the Ming Dynasty's land frontier! The Mongolian people on the Hetao and Xuanning sides also said that now the Tartars on the grassland have begun to convert to Tibetan Buddhism. The alliance of the Mughals, Chagatai, and Altan Khan's court is one of them, and Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinggan, Hetao, and Xuanning all have border troubles! ”

Yan Song also said: "If Man Su'er and Tubo both help the Ming enemies and thieves, will the border markets in all regions still open?" Is it okay to give it back to those foreign merchants? If the land border trade has lost so much, I am afraid that domestic businessmen will also be agitated. If we sit back and watch it come to fruition, we will continue to trade with the border as we are now, and I am afraid that in the long run, we will be the enemy. ”

Zhu Houxi thought quietly.

I have been using troops in the Western Regions for so many years, just to take this step?

He helped promote the Yellow Sect on the grassland, and the Ming monarchs and ministers had already known about it. One south and one north, there are religious factors, and there is a common strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty, which is the hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty.

And Mansuer is an Islamic sultan, and the religious contradictions between them are not small.

Now the situation has changed abruptly, and it seems that I have really gathered all the land neighbors of the Ming Dynasty into a land alliance that has been integrated.

What Yan Song said was that the Ming Dynasty had to make a decision: whether to let them continue to integrate, or to send troops to intervene on the grounds of "rebelling against the Ming Dynasty" at full speed.

Allowing this situation to develop, the pressure within Daming is the least. The merchants were happy, and the treasury did not have to be very nervous.

And as long as the troops are dispatched, they must be prepared for a decisive battle on all fronts this time.

The north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the Tubo Plateau, the Mobei grassland, and the Western Desert ...... None of this is an easy place to attack.

Zhu Houxi looked at Yang Shen, and then asked Yan Song the second question: "On the North Korean side, have you sorted out the current situation?" ”

Yan Song bent over: "The Xuanjiao embassy is still investigating the matter, and the minister has also informed some trustworthy businessmen to testify against it, and Your Majesty also asks for instructions to inspect the factory." Now the situation in North Korea that the minister has sorted out is reported here. ”

The emperor asked in person, and only then did he hand over the report that had been prepared but was not fully prepared, and then spoke: "The lord of Korea is getting old and weak, but now he is afraid that Queen Wending and her two brothers, who have been in charge of the harem for twenty-five years, will suddenly become troubled. I implore the Ming Dynasty to help him commit adultery, I am afraid that it is not for the safety of the crown prince, but for his own safety. ”

Zhu Houxi sneered while watching: "I'm afraid that the ministers and palace maids around him are all the queen's eyeliner, how can Da Ming help him hoe and rape without making Brother Xiao Yin and Queen Wending break the jar?" If those Shilin factions in North Korea can succeed, why have they suffered repeated disasters? ”

"Therefore, they sent the elders of the Shilin Sect to the Ming Dynasty to announce the envoys, ask the Ming Dynasty's permission, and then discuss the plan according to the form and strength of the Ming Dynasty."

"What is the promise of the Great Ming? Obedience, surrender? Wasn't that how it used to be? Zhu Houxi didn't even raise his head, "They shouldn't know about me, right?" Just take these empty words and let me help him? ”

Yan Song said truthfully: "Now they are just waiting for His Majesty's will. How to deal with this matter can be decided by the DPRK from top to bottom. ”

“…… Naive. Zhu Houxi looked at a paragraph in the report, "I actually want to make an order to let Xiao Yin and the brothers make a convention for the Ming Dynasty, and then provoke him." I did this, didn't that make the vassal laugh? Can the Korean Shilin faction come up with such an idea? ”

“…… It can only be said that repeated disasters are not without cause. ”

Yan Song was also speechless, the Ming Dynasty summoned the vassal states to Beijing to conclude a convention on various standards, which could indeed require the vassal state to send enough weighty envoys. But after all, it was invited by Daming, how could he deceive people and then attack them?

The stinky cobbler of the Korean Shilin faction only wanted to get rid of the strong people inside first and weaken a little bit of strength before he could start, but he wanted Daming to be this wicked man.

Zhu Houxi picked up Yan Shifan's report again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Dongyingbo has successfully instigated the clan on Tsushima Island to stir up the Japanese rivalry. This matter is easy to deal with, and the naval division will have to assemble and retrain, and then wait for the new warship. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, can be sold to some. When they are inextricably beaten, they will be killed directly. ”

After putting down the Japanese recital, Zhu Houxi raised his head and looked at the three of them.

"The Ming Dynasty is stronger, but most of the feudal domains have never faced the power of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the virtue of the Ming Dynasty. Qing and others all know how I plan, and the conclusion of the covenant is the new order that I want to form inside and outside the Ming Dynasty in the future, but the powerful families in the foreign domains will not like many of the new orders formulated by the Ming Dynasty. Tang Yingde said, hang the people and kill the crime! Now that there are variables in the Western Regions and the East, it's time to make a comprehensive plan and decide to omit it! ”

Yang Shen asked astringently: "Your Majesty, are you fighting from all sides?" ”

"Naturally, there must be a difference in priority!" Zhu Houxi did not shy away from this comprehensive purpose, "first solve the problems of North Korea and Japan." With the money of the powerful families of North Korea and Japan, the treasury will not be difficult. The 10-year treasury bond matures, and the new bond is issued just after the redemption. If the merchants who go to the west and Mobei are dissatisfied with the temporary severance of border trade, then they will be united with the country and first subscribe to buy national bonds to settle the foreign troubles of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xia Yan's eyes lit up: the big move of the whole market is finally about to be officially started.

Zhu Houxi really ordered: "The three of you will take the lead, and tomorrow morning, the first meeting will be held." From mobilization, financial planning, to military strength, to the selection of officials in the future, culture and education, and peace and security, step by step, the overall plan was taken out. ”

Daming, who has held two Halloween festivals and has been "kind and kind" for eight or nine years, began to grind his teeth.

The Daming Center, which had just been re-"relocated", soon entered an intensive rhythm of operation, and the Qianqing Palace was busy.

may be because of the high mood of "conquest", Zhu Houxi does not feel tired from this energy-consuming plan, or he has long adapted to this rhythm of career. On the contrary, it is very fierce.

Sun Lan and the harem concubines felt this.

There were already several dragon couches in the Qianqing Palace, and now, Zhu Houxi, who has an extremely stable status, does not need to think too much about his "safety", so he stays randomly.

On the contrary, several rooms on the second floor of the Qianqing Palace have been well arranged to make them more livable.

Unlike the Yangxin Palace, there are small courtyards and plants, and the environment of the Qianqing Palace is rigid and serious.

The only one who brings a soft feeling to Zhu Houxi is naturally a beauty.

During the day, he discussed state affairs, accompanied the prince and queen at night, and then it was mostly two-person time, or three-person time.

The "monarchs and ministers" in North Korea who had been waiting for a long time in the conspiracy finally got a reply from the Ming Dynasty: What kind of system?

This time, the Ming Emperor severely rebuked the laziness of the Korean lord, so that the husband and wife were not in harmony, the father and the son were not in harmony, the powerful ministers were in power, and the people were not happy.

Not only did the Ming Dynasty not intervene in this matter, but also demanded that the Korean lord quickly solve the internal problem before sending an envoy to Beijing to sign the convention.

Naturally, the news also "accidentally" let the Xiao Yin brothers know: Wang Shang and Wang Shizi actually asked Daming to send troops to hoe rape with the Shilin faction.

Who is the traitor?

At the brink of an eruption, the DPRK suddenly came to the brink of a general outbreak of contradictions.

Whether it was a palace mutiny or a mutiny, then I don't know.

And from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, the official documents sent to the embassies of the vassal declarations were also delivered one after another.

The Great Emperor attached great importance to the following meeting of the clans and feudal clans to be held in Beijing in October, and this time the standard was very high, not only did the feudal lords send important ministers or even princes, but the envoys from all over the country also had to bring the inspection reports and accompany the envoys of the feudal domains to return to Beijing to report on their work.

Since the establishment of the Xuanjiao Embassy, it has at least existed in the feudal domains for so many years. When the new one arrives, the old one will leave after the handover.

And now, all their civil and military officials have to leave temporarily and return to Beijing to report on their work.

This is unusual.

The Great Tomorrow does pay attention to it, but what exactly does he value?

In the mansion of the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan, after Zhu Zaiqi came out of the pregnant princess's room, he came to the front of Mu Shaoxun, the Duke of Qianguo.

Thirty-eight-year-old Mu Shaoxun is in the prime of life.

He didn't know that in fact, his fate had already changed. Originally, Mu Shaoxun died young in the fifteenth year of Jiajing when the Ming Dynasty was preparing to conquer Mo Dengyong, and he was only thirty-three years old.

But now Mu Shaoxun is still in high spirits, and after seeing his son-in-law, he saluted first: "Your Highness." ”

"Grandpa." Zhu Zaiyun didn't trust it, "My father will come over and invite my grandfather to Beijing to discuss major matters, but is it a matter of foreign domains?" ”

Mu Shaoxun's eyes lit up: "It should be!" Your Royal Highness, your king is Yue, and now you live in Yunnan as the eldest son of the emperor. Although it is called visiting relatives, it cannot be said that it is a feudal domain and a royal mansion. This is not a long-term solution, and now we all know the official documents of the Ministry of Rites and Communications. Going to the capital here must be a big matter to discuss! ”

Mu Shaoxun is not alone.

With the advancement of many discussions in the Qianqing Palace, many important generals in the borders and provinces of the Ming Dynasty received orders to enter Beijing for a while.

Not all heavyweights, this list is selective.

But Yu Dayou, Ma Fang, Ji Weimin, and Qu Zhinan ...... Many names have intriguing meanings.

They are all capable of fighting and fighting tough battles.

Summer is the beginning of the day, and the weather is hot.

Under the scorching sun, there seemed to be a huge storm brewing inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, which made many people feel dull, depressed, or restless.

All this stems from Zhu Houxi's fiery ambition.

It was the Isyk-Kul shores of Lake Issyk-Kul on a cold winter day that lit the fuse.

He has his ideas, and Zhu Houxi has already had his own plans.
