As the emperor set the tone, and it was a good thing for the empire to "stay" Princess Yixi, who was deeply favored by Manduhai, in the Ming Dynasty, there was naturally no longer controversy at this supreme meeting.

Even if Liu Jian and Qiu Jun still want to continue to stop it, they are humble after all.

Although Zhu Youzhu never talked about reform, his important ministers have silently strived for political reform and always kept in mind the teaching of "rejuvenating the country through hard work."

Because Ikexi is a Mongolian woman, she stopped a move to benefit the country and the people, which is simply hopelessly pedantic, and Li Yu, the official who pursues practice nowadays, will naturally not support it.

"If you have to leave people in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court can not include Princess Yikexi in the harem, and a prince can be accepted as a side concubine!" Liu Jian still opposed this proposal, and immediately proposed a compromise plan.

"Liu Shilang, you want to deliberately provoke Manduhai and force Manduhai to come over, right?" Liu Ji, who had been silent, heard this, and looked angry and laughed.

Li Yu and the others didn't expect Liu Jian to be so pedantic, and they turned their heads to look at them with disgust.

The reason why they chose to include Princess Yixi in the harem by His Majesty is not only a legitimate reason for Daming to have enough to leave Princess Yixi, but also an explanation to Manduhai.

After all, her baby daughter was taken by the dignified Emperor Ming, and she had to be included in the harem as a concubine, and she got a status second only to the queen, what could she object to as a mother?

Even if she still wants to make a big fuss, she is already a lot inferior in terms of slogans, after all, she still wants to pay tribute earlier!

On the other hand, Liu Jian's seemingly compromise suggestion, but he didn't know that he couldn't grasp the subtlety of Xu Qiong's proposal at all, but wanted to make the relationship between Daming and Manduhai deteriorate directly.

Originally, it was a strategy that could make Mandu Hai jealous, but as a result, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites in front of him had to belittle Princess Yixi, which was really not enough to succeed and more than to lose.

For a while, the important ministers present not only disdained or despised this left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but they were eager for Zhu Youzhu to kick this person out of the list of members of the Supreme Council.

Zhu Youzhu didn't want Liu Jian to deviate from things, so he said lightly: "You are all my rib ministers, and the affairs in your hands are also extremely busy, this meeting still has to strive to be streamlined!" What I just asked to discuss is whether it is feasible to bring Princess Nayksin into the harem, how should we resolve the crisis in the border areas, how can we prevent the border areas from being invaded by the Mongols, not to ask you to discuss whether I can enter the harem, so when will the matter be decided? ”

"It is true that we have deviated from the issue just now, and the ministers will learn from it in the future, and all colleagues must not live up to the Holy Grace!" Wan An, as the nominal head of the hundred officials, should even represent the admission of mistakes.

Li Yu and others, the secretary of the ministry, like the way they deal with national affairs now, and feel that Zhu Youzhu always attaches importance to them, although it is because of Liu Jian, the black sheep, they also say yes.

Liu Jian knew that this was actually aimed at himself, and found that the student in front of him was becoming more and more incomprehensible, and now the court really fell into the control of this student who had no opinions earlier.

I have to admit that I really looked away at the beginning, and I thought that I would cultivate a student who was easy to control, but this student has not eaten his respect for teachers and reuse of virtuous ministers since he took office.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is the best policy to include Yikexi in the palace! Daming took this opportunity to repair relations with Manduhai first, and now temporarily reduce the disputes between Daming and Beiyuan. As long as Yikexi stays in Daming, Manduhai must have scruples, and the border of Daming will be stable for several years! As long as the Ming Dynasty recuperates and fights hard in the future, even if Mongolia really wants to achieve unification in the future, our Ming Dynasty can find an opportunity to defeat them again! Lu Wen, the left attendant of the military department, immediately expressed his attitude.

Hubu Shangshu Li Si has almost the same thoughts, compared with accepting a Mongolian concubine, it is the most important thing to make the Datong border stable, that is, they all agreed.

Liu Jian and Qiu Jun wanted to stop it, but there was no place for them in this supreme meeting, and they finally chose to remain silent.

Zhu Youji's original intention was to directly confront the Mongols, but he also knew that this would cause the war in the border areas to deteriorate rapidly, and the price that the Ming would have to pay was not low.

Now, with the appearance of Princess Yikexi, things have appeared in a more gentle way to solve the Mongolian problem, and Li Yu and others are already hoping for a more gentle way to deal with it.

As for the thoughts of these important ministers, it is not difficult to guess, the essence is to want Daming to make peace with Manduhai and ease the relationship between the two parties through this marriage.

Zhu Youzhu knew that things really shouldn't be rushed, so he looked at the important ministers present and said: "Since everyone agrees with this opinion, then let's send an important minister to Datong to discuss the truce and marriage with Manduhai!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, saw that Zhu Youzhu accepted their proposal, and he also respectfully bowed.

Zhu Youzhu knew that the crux of the problem was coming, so he looked at the important ministers present with a smile and asked, "Who wants to go?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the Heart Cultivation Hall suddenly became subtle.

Although it is very majestic to go on as an envoy, it also comes with certain risks.

Even though China has always had a glorious tradition of "not beheading", Mongolia does not necessarily talk about this rule. Even if the Mongols didn't kill you, they just detained you in Mongolia, which is very different from life in the capital.

It is precisely because of this that if you go to negotiate this time and handle it incorrectly, you may not be able to continue to enjoy the good life in the capital.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" Seeing that everyone didn't move, Li Si said when he made a statement.

Zhu Youji's brows frowned slightly, but he reprimanded: "Nonsense! The household department is in charge of the Ming Dynasty's finances, and you still need your cooperation in the rectification of Liaoyan today, how can you go? ”

Li Si was very grateful to Zhu Youzhi for his compassion, and knew that Zhu Youzhu was actually defending himself, but he secretly looked at Liu Jian, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Qiu Jun, the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who should be the main invitation.

Generally, matters involving diplomacy are usually entrusted to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

Liu Jian and Qiu Jun didn't know if they were afraid of danger or simply didn't want to serve the imperial court, so they were sitting there looking at each other.

Li Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, all wanted to go, but they knew that there were many affairs in the yamen under their jurisdiction now, but they were not allowed to leave for such a long time.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...... Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Seeing this, Liu Jin, who had been standing next to him, couldn't help frowning slightly, and found that these Wenchen could always speak the truth when they spoke, but when it was their turn to do things, it was as if they were a different person.

"Your Majesty, it's better to leave it to the ministers, right? There are not many affairs in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and there are Liu Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Qiu Jun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who must be able to handle it properly, so the reason why the minister went to the Ministry of Rites is not hindering the work of the Ministry of Rites, and beg His Majesty for permission! Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to stand up and plead.

Zhu Youzhu found that there were still a few people who could be of great use among the ministers, so he looked at Xu Qiong seriously and said, "Xu Qing, do you really want to go?" ”

"Your Majesty is very kind to the minister, and the minister does not want to repay the gentleman's grace all the time. This time I went to discuss the matter of His Majesty Princess Naykxi as a concubine, and the Ministry of Rites should be in charge, and the minister is willing to go! Although Xu Qiong was worried, she still said seriously.

After getting along for so long, he knew that there was an aspiring emperor in front of him, and he was even fairer and more virtuous than the previous emperor.

If you only get the impression of being obedient, not only will it be difficult to be truly reused, but I am afraid that your current position will not be able to last too long.

Although there is a certain amount of risk involved, it is undoubtedly a great opportunity to prove oneself and an opportunity to always be by the emperor's side.

Li Yu and the others were originally not ashamed of this sycophant, but seeing that the other party was able to stand up at a critical time, they couldn't help but re-examine Xu Qiong.

Zhu Youzhu saw that Xu Qiong had indeed come to his senses, so he nodded lightly and said: "Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is diligent and loyal, and has the ambition to serve the country. ”

"Obey the order, thank you Your Majesty!" Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not expect to get the title of crown prince, and said gratefully.

It's unreasonable!

The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Qiu Jun, frowned slightly, and immediately said secretly with dissatisfaction in his heart.

He is a Jinshi of Jingtai for five years, and he can be said to be one of the best in terms of virtue, but now he has only mixed into the position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. On the other hand, this sycophant has already obtained the title of prince and prince, and he is undoubtedly one step closer to entering the cabinet, and he suddenly feels a kind of injustice from His Majesty.

The villain is reused, but the gentleman is not willing, and this Hongzhi Dynasty will be finished sooner or later.

The Palace of Nourishing Hearts is very bright, and Emperor Hongzhi and important ministers continue to discuss here.

Although the issue of Mongolia has been closed, other important matters continue to be discussed.

The Qingzhang fields in Huguang have already achieved initial results since Anlu Prefecture, and the matter of the local gentry hiding the fields and acres can be regarded as being poked out.

The harvest of the diving bell in the pearl pond in Guangdong is gratifying, and the large beads are more and more harvested due to the fact that the Hepu pearls can be harvested in deeper seas.

There was news from Liaodong that the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion had won a complete victory in this operation, and had achieved the set goal of a military strike against the Jianzhou Jurchens who had repeatedly harassed the Ming Dynasty.

The current Ming Dynasty can be described as thriving, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Zhu Youzhu is most concerned about Sanji Island, which is the window of trade between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, and it is also the springboard for the Ming Dynasty to invade Japan, so he is also concerned about the progress.

"Your Majesty, now that the new city is progressing smoothly, it will definitely be completed before the opening of the markets of the two countries!" Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, is in charge of the construction work, even to ensure the authenticity.

Since He Cong had already gone to Shandong to serve as the governor, and now the formation of the new army was changed to Lu Wen, the new left attendant of the military department, he reported: "Your Majesty, the new army has been training in Tianjin, and it can be stationed on Senzhi Island at any time!" ”

Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, had already finalized the officials who would govern the island, and now there was nothing to report.

Zhu Youzhu saw that the matter had been discussed, so he said lightly: "I want to use this big case of fornication with Mongolia to deter Shanxi merchants, and want to execute these eight businessmen Ling Chi, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Officials such as Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, did not have a good impression of the eight smugglers, and even said respectfully.

When the deliberations were over, all the important ministers departed in two-threes.

Liu Jin followed from behind, and when Li Yu and the others saw Liu Jin, they knew that there would be officials who would be summoned alone, and they were even fortunate enough to taste the grilled fish caught by His Majesty himself.

Liu Jin quickly found the lucky man, but what was very surprising was that it turned out to be a very low-key Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Works.

Chen Zheng is a native of Yifeng, Jiangxi, his father died early, he was raised by his mother, and his family was poor, he was young and poor, and he was not full of clothes and food, but he was thrifty and studious.

After his mother's death, he was eleven years old, but fortunately his uncle raised and taught him to become a talent.

Tianshun eight years of high school jinshi, the first director of the Ministry of Works, the staff of the Lang, and then the secretary of the general administration, because he has been diligent and diligent, promoted to the right waiter of the Ministry of Works, and then took over the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry left by Jia Jun.

The resume of this left waiter of the Ministry of Industry is not too shiny, but he has always had a reputation for honesty and is a very dedicated official.

If you choose a character from Journey to the West as an analogy, it is probably the hard-working Sha Wujing.

After listening to Liu Jin's whispered words, Chen Zheng did not go with Liu Jin to face the saint, but suddenly hurriedly walked out towards the Xiyuan Gate, surpassing everyone present in one fell swoop.

Look at the sand like a gust of wind leaving...... Chen Zheng, the officials present couldn't help but look at each other.

"Is he in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

"It's supposed to be the emperor, but what has he been messing with?"

"Don't look at me, Your Majesty's most important thing is to govern the island, and now I am dedicated to building cities and ships!"

……

In the background of seeing Chen Zheng leave in a hurry, several Shangshu who were leaving leisurely immediately became curious, and Jia Jun, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, spread his hands and said authentically.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't!"

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, we will usher in prosperity when we make our own errands!"

"Yes, let's do our best and do things together in a down-to-earth manner, so what's the reason why we don't get up?"

……

Although Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, was very curious, he knew that Zhu Youzhu was a practical emperor, and now he must be planning something important, so he expressed his attitude one after another.

Hongji ZTE? What do you think?

Liu Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Qiu Jun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, walked at the end of the crowd, but they silently rolled their eyes, not optimistic about the current Hongzhi Dynasty at all.

After about a stick of incense, Chen Zheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, went and returned, but he did not come back alone, but led the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to bring a big guy.
