In fact, the best way to prevent traitors from supporting Lixing Wang to usurp the throne is not to strengthen the palace's defensive system, but to get a son as soon as possible.

If he has already given birth to an heir and has a descendant who can rightfully inherit the throne, then the conspirators will have no chance to support King Xing.

After all, if the future emperor is still his son, then many powerful people will be jealous.

If they don't gain much by killing themselves, everyone is afraid that once the matter is revealed, they will face the fate of raiding their families or exterminating their families immediately or in the future.

It is precisely in this way that when the risks far outweigh the benefits, those conspirators usually dare not act rashly, and the emperor himself can sit firmly in the Diaoyu Tai.

Liu Jin took the order and left, but he didn't want to speculate on the emperor's thoughts.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the background of Liu Jin's departure, but sighed secretly.

The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

Even as a high-ranking emperor, he has more than ten outstanding people in the world, but he really can't give birth if he wants to.

There was Emperor Jingtai in the front, Zhengde in the back, and even Jiajing, who lived a long life in the back, actually had similar troubles.

Zhu Youzhi still didn't gain anything after working hard for so long, so that he began to be discouraged in his heart, but it was not his character to give up easily.

After finishing the bath, I went to the East Warm Pavilion, and decided to work hard again tonight, and it was best to be able to hit it twice.

After all, he still believes that his efforts will be rewarded, and he will definitely be able to get rid of the tragic fate of the heir.

The night sky is starry and the air looks unusually fresh.

Zhu Youji likes the night after a rainstorm, the temperature usually drops to a suitable position, and the air is as if it has been washed, which makes people's bodies very comfortable.

Meow!

The raccoon cat and tiger are two months old, and now they are becoming more and more tiger-like, often accompanied by Dongnuan Pavilion, and they barked very flatteringly.

Zhu Youzhu knew that Huzi was a very spiritual kitten, so he directly reassured: "Tomorrow the weather is good, I will catch your favorite carp for you!" ”

Meow!

As if he understood, the tanuki cat and tiger rubbed at Zhu Youji's feet, and screamed crisply.

Zhu Youzhu knew what this kitten meant, so he said to Niu Mengmeng, who was in charge of taking care of it: "If it doesn't rain tomorrow at dusk, you can bring these cats over!" ”

Other people in the palace would adulterate if they wanted to eat fish, but these cats did have a soft spot for fish, and Huzi's favorite was braised carp.

Meow!

The raccoon cat and tiger are indeed very spiritual, and immediately happily ran back to Niu Mengmeng's side.

"Slave obeys!" Niu Mengmeng's eyes were slightly bright, which was respectful and authentic.

Zhu Youzhu saw Niu Mengmeng's happiness in his eyes, but he knew that although Niu Mengmeng understood the rules of the palace more and more, he was still wild after all, so he liked to take the kitten to Xiyuan to play.

It's just that this is a daily living arrangement, and now the most important thing is to deal with the current government affairs.

Zhu Youzhu sat in front of the bookcase as usual, and read the information from the two capitals and thirteen provinces by the bright light next to him, but the news from overseas that attracted his most attention was still from overseas.

Although Wang Zhi was assigned to be in charge of military affairs and diplomacy in Nanyang, the idea of loyalty to the monarch seemed to be integrated into the bone marrow, and he still often reported all the big and small affairs around him.

The kingdom of Annam had been divided into two, and with the Champa state supported by the Ming Dynasty, the strongest force in Indochina was completely dispersed, while other vassal states submitted to the Ming dynasty.

Zhu Youzhu was not keen on territorial expansion, nor did he have the idea of annexing Annam, and what he was trying to do now was actually overseas resources.

Militarily, the Ming Dynasty had completed its garrison in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, and had signed military alliances with North Vietnam, Champang, South Vietnam, and Laos, which was conducive to controlling the entire Indochina Peninsula and allowing it to strike militarily at any time if necessary.

Culturally, due to the importance of cultural export, the first batch of students from the Indochina Peninsula were sent to the Indochina Peninsula to establish the Sage Academy to promote Chinese culture.

Economically, Chinese cotton cloth is entering the Indochina Peninsula market in an orderly manner, and in addition to returning local products from various countries, it is also exchanging a large amount of rice grain from Siam.

Zhu Youzhu often replied to Wang Zhi, and at this time he wrote down seriously: "The Nanyang countries pay tribute pepper and fish grilled, it is extremely delicious, but I am not as beautiful as all the beauties, and if I want to share it with my subjects, I can communicate with the countries of Nanyang!" ”

In fact, not only the West, but also the Chinese people also have a great market demand for spices.

Although the domestic market demand for spices such as sumacia and Zhenzhen is larger, especially sumac is an important raw material for traditional Chinese medicine, Zhu Youzhu loves pepper alone.

The history of pepper tribute can be traced back to the tenth year of Hongwu, and in the Javanese tribute, there are 75,000 catties of pepper.

Affected by the sea ban policy for so many years, the amount of pepper flowing into the country is too small, especially once banned by the Ming court, so the price of pepper is too high.

Zhu Youzhi knew that pepper was not only loved by the Chinese people, but also an important ingredient for his own grilled fish, and was a golden-like spice in the West, so he naturally set his sights on the spice market in Nanyang.

Now through the way of cotton cloth for spices, Daming cotton cloth can not only be promoted, but also Guangdong can be built into a spice distribution center.

Once the Ming Dynasty is connected to the West in the future, then the Ming Dynasty can use the spice supply of the South Seas, so as to build the Ming Dynasty into a major export country of spices.

It is precisely because of this that he now asks Wang Zhi to promote the Nanyang pepper trade for himself, so that Daming will become the world's largest spice country to lay a solid foundation.

Green smoke rose from the copper furnace, and the East Warm Pavilion was filled with a faint sandalwood incense.

Zhu Youzhu was just satisfied with the Nanyang spice trade he advocated, but after seeing the information from the North Korean side, his whole face instantly darkened.

Recently, the most important foreign policy has been to conquer the Jianzhou Jurchens, but in order to achieve this goal, the North Korea, located in the south, will undoubtedly help with half the effort.

As early as the beginning of this year, Zhu Youzhu had already begun to promote this matter, and sent envoys to let North Korea send troops to help the Ming Dynasty exterminate the Jianzhou Jurchens as they did when they helped Emperor Chenghua.

"Xiao Wang Wen is the foundation of politics, and the most important thing is to do nothing. His Majesty has been on the throne for less than two years, and the wind and rain have been smooth, and the people have no disadvantages of floods and droughts...... Because the deer tendon is not enough tribute, it is not the great power of the Celestial Empire...... Today, Jianzhou has the heart to admit mistakes, and the border offender is a traitor in the guard, and the guard has cleaned up the door. Xiao Wang thought that Jianzhou knew his mistakes and had a heart of repentance, so he hoped that the Ming Emperor would be sympathetic to the Jurchen tribe and stop the sword soldiers, and Xiao Wang would respect him! ”

Zhu Youzhu originally wanted to urge the king of Korea to send troops to help him clear Jianzhou, but the king of North Korea, Li Jiao, did not agree, and actually wanted to persuade himself to stop the army, which was a big joke.

"The foundation of politics is the most important thing to do", this is probably the heart of the king of Joseon.

Li Jiao is the ninth monarch of the Li dynasty, and the throne has been transferred to his uncle, but because his uncle's son is too young, he has magically turned back.

It's just that he was only eleven years old at the time, and the real beneficiary was his grandmother, Queen Zhenxi, who controlled the government by listening to the government through the curtain.

Although Queen Zhenxi had returned to power as early as the twelfth year of Chenghua, how could it be so easy to come back after the imperial power had fallen?

During the period when the Empress Dowager was in power, the civil official group in North Korea further expanded, and it was also through three sutra banquets a day that Confucianism was instilled in Li Jie, thus making Li Jia a king who "ruled by the arch".

Born in such an environment, and received this kind of education, Li Ji is actually the same as the original history of Hongji. Although he will not be made monogamous, he is indeed an obedient "virtuous minister".

It's just that the king of Joseon can be fooled by the ministers of Joseon, but it is impossible for him to believe such deceptive nonsense.

Not to mention that the Jianzhou Jurchen is a major threat to the future of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchen tribe that has repeatedly taken revenge, how can he not get rid of it?

Although Zhu Youzhu has no intention of annexing Korea, as his vassal state, he wants benefits but is unwilling to contribute, so what is the use of wanting such a little brother?

He is not a belligerent person, just for the interests of China, for the real rise of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to go to war, and North Korea is naturally no exception.

In fact, what made him most angry was a secret report mixed in: although there was a strong faction on the North Korean side, this change of attitude was inseparable from the gifts and praise given by the representatives of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

The lights of the East Warm Pavilion flickered, which seemed to reflect the irritability of the emperor.

There was a sudden slight golden bell at the door, and the young beauty who had just bathed walked out, her beautiful eyes revealing a bit of natural charm, and the corners of her mouth that were slightly raised were a little wild.

Zhu Youzhu was in a bad mood at this time, so he naturally wouldn't be confused by the lotus beauty who came, and wrote on the paper with sharp eyes: "Dai Zhen plans to supervise Korea to send troops on time, do not obey the orders of the Celestial Empire, do not serve it with the vassal state, and have a secret relationship with the thief, beware of the anger of the Celestial Empire!" ”

Zhu Youzhu knew that even without the lobbying of the Jianzhou Jurchen, it would be more in the interests of the DPRK not to send troops, and it was naturally impossible for the DPRK rulers to be enthusiastic about this matter.

Like when Xianzong ordered North Korea to send troops, although North Korea was forced to send troops under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, it delayed its actions and was not able to strike a good blow at the Jianzhou Jurchens.

It's just that now that he is in power, if North Korea does not even agree to send troops, then it is completely necessary for him to beat it, and even send troops to conscript North Korea.

Just when he was angry, there was already an empathetic, soft and fragrant beauty under his crotch, first feeling a burst of coolness, and then a burst of warmth.

Zhu Youzhu saw that there were several small and delicate golden bells hanging in the hairnet of the golden bell, and at this moment, as she worked hard, there was a slight sound.

At this moment, a wave of pride suddenly surged in his heart.

If North Korea does not obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty and refuses to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to complete the operation of purging the Jianzhou Jurchens, he will completely conquer the whole of Korea like conquering the woman in front of him.

In fact, North Korea was usurped by military generals, so like the Song Dynasty, it chose a political system that emphasized literature over military force.

At the time of the fall of imperial power, the civilian clique had taken advantage of the opportunity to gain strength, and even reduced the army in order to cut expenditures, but it was a very easy object to conquer.

In the case of bows, for example, the Korean envoys could only meet their military needs by smuggling during the tribute period, but they were quickly discovered by the Ming Dynasty, and finally the Korean king personally pleaded for the bow to be traded against the robbers.

In view of the fact that the Joseon were very obedient, Hyunjong decided to give them a trade cap of 50 handfuls, and after repeated requests from the Joseon king, the upper limit of the trade was raised to 150 handfuls.

Faced with a vassal state with a corrupt army and a small number of vassals, and the military needs were still counting on the Ming Dynasty to replenish the peninsula, it was actually very easy for the Ming Dynasty to really want to take it.

Zhu Youzhu reached out and grabbed Fan Jinling's little head, and looked at the pretty face in front of him condescendingly: "Lotus beauty, I am caught off guard every time!" ”

"Your Majesty, state affairs are important, but the concubine implores Your Majesty to put your body first!" Fan Jinling met Zhu Youji's gaze and said what he thought.

Zhu Youzhu found that it was indeed a good way to get rid of it, and his body pressed Fan Jinling's little head very honestly: "You relieve me like this, it is difficult to give birth to a dragon seed for me!" ”

"Minister...... The concubines just want to make the emperor happy! Fan Jinling continued to eat popsicles.

Zhu Youzhu found that every cell was sublimating, but he asked seriously: "Do you really think so!" ”

"Minister...... The body and heart of the concubine belong to His Majesty alone, so His Majesty's happiness is the happiness of the concubine! Fan Jinling replied hesitantly.

Zhu Youzhu liked the sound of Fan Jinling sluggling very much, so he said what he had just arranged: "I called Qingyue over tonight!" ”

"The concubine knows, so the concubine brought her medicine this time to ensure that His Majesty will have fun!" Fan Jinling's eyes were misty, and he smiled slyly.

Zhu Youzhu thought of the effect of that medicine, and couldn't help pinching the face of the golden bell that was watery, it was really a rare goblin in the world.

Just in order to fight better in the future, he still chose to stop Fan Jinling's dexterous mouth, and at the same time asked someone to bring him a bowl of oyster chicken and old hen soup.

As the night draws deeper, the whole world will sleep peacefully.

The dragon bed is actually not big, but Fan Jinling and Qingyue are both thin beauty types, and Zhu Youzhu is also a thin young man, so it is just right for the three of them to lie side by side.

Qingyue's body has grown, and the whole person is more attractive to intellectual beauty.

Because of his cheerful personality and his neat work, he already has a place in the harem.

Recently, I often go to Renshou Palace to play mahjong with the queen mother, so I can contact a lot of concubines, so I am very clear about the situation in the harem, which is conducive to Zhu Youzhi to control the situation.

It's just that things are in harmony, and after drinking the tea prepared for her by Fan Jinling, her body looks hot. Although he learned that the culprit was Fan Jinling, he pounced on Zhu Youji without hesitation.

Fan Jinling saw that his plan succeeded, revealing his good-looking little tiger teeth, and also took the initiative to pounce on Zhu Youji.

"Your Majesty, I want to ......"

"Your Majesty, I want to ...... too"

……

Zhu Youzhu finally realized the beauty of the two people, because he became the most sought-after one, but the voices of the two people were still so beautiful and sultry.

At this moment, he seemed to become a young soldier in armor, first killed the Jianzhou Jurchens, and then conquered Korea because of the restlessness of Korea.

The golden bell is fragrant and soft, but it is the easiest one to conquer, it is simply vegetable and playful. And although Qingyue is a little stronger, she can't bear Zhu Youji's courage after all.

Meow!

In the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, a flower cat squatted on a pillar, standing on a high place and arrogantly looking down on its territory. It was only when he suddenly heard a subtle voice from the depths of the tall palace to the north, and he screamed in dissatisfaction.
