After the New Year, it is the twenty-fourth year of Jingtai.

Daming turned a new page.

The most stringent industry-wide protection laws are implemented in China.

Zhu Qiyu invited Zhu Yi and Fang Ying, and Yu Qian went to Sanya to recuperate, and the two of them in Beijing had the highest titles.

Since Fang Ying was abolished, people have become very depressed and much older.

Zhu Yi was reused by the emperor after supervising Jiangxi, and he had made great contributions to pacifying Nanjing, Zhongdu, and Yunnan over the years, and the world coupons were also returned.

The emperor was no longer angry with him, even Zhu Yong was promoted to the title, and now he is the Marquis of Funing, after he was transferred from Laos, he assisted Xiang Zhong and pacified Borneo.

Originally, Mu Cong, the Duke of Qianguo, was also in Beijing, and he was sent out to pacify Shenyang a few years ago.

"I have ordered you to come because you have something important to explain."

Zhu Qiyu put down the music, motioned for them to sit down, and said with a smile: "Whether the noble is strong or not, I don't look at the contemporary, but the future generations." ”

"Not to mention the birth of famous generals through the ages, at least you must know how to be a general and be able to fight."

"And after the death of many earls and marquis in the past few years, after their sons inherited the title, I found that they were useless, and they had no ability to do so."

"Therefore, I want to establish a school, let all the nobles go in to study, and then carry out a strict assessment system, and if the assessment is not successful, no one is allowed to attack the lord!"

Fang Ying and Zhu Yi glanced at each other, and they both felt bad.

"Lao Chen is not optimistic about this move."

Fang Ying said slowly: "Xungui Xungui, it is connected, who do you want to preside over the assessment?" ”

"Let's talk about the old minister, you know best what kind of virtue the son of the old minister's family is."

"Let the old minister preside over the assessment, and definitely let his son pass the test? Relatives, nephews, and military relations are another big piece, who do you say will not attack the lord? That's a big deal that breaks people's incense, does the old minister dare to stop it? ”

"Lao Chen doesn't think about himself, he has to think about maintaining this relationship, right?"

"If this school can't be run, Lao Chen thinks it's useless."

After Fang Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yi also agreed: "Weichen also thinks it's useless, Xungui is different from civil officials, Xungui is a whole, you have me, I have you." ”

"It's not okay to offend anyone, it's all related to the family."

"Your Majesty, you want to make the heirs of your lords better, and the ministers and other old ministers all understand, but this person is a dragon or an insect, he is born and cannot be taught."

"Let's just say that my son was taught by your own hands, right?"

"Now in the army, don't you still make it?"

Zhu Yi expressed deep helplessness: "Tell me, over the years, Weichen has beaten and scolded, and you have beaten him less, is it useful?" ”

"Even, you beat him, he went home and was complacent with Weichen, saying that you loved him, so you beat him, he was never beaten by you in the palace, and he didn't have face when he went out."

"Look, can such a person be taught?"

"Wechen advises you, don't worry about it, it's useless."

Zhu Yi is very single, not a single, his sons Zhu Fu and Zhu Zhen are not successful.

This was all taught by the emperor himself.

The martial arts hall was on, and the prince's school also read it, thinking that it was a martial arts failure, let's study literature, and the emperor asked them to go to the country to study.

As a result, the priest of the country sent back the wine crying, and also came to the Chengguo Mansion to persuade the Chengguo Gong to kill the two unfilial sons.

Zhu Yi really wanted to kill them, and the emperor even asked them to go to the royal trading house to do business, but they poked a big hole and lost a lot of money.

The eldest daughter married Mu Cong, the second daughter married Li Dongyang, and the third daughter Yang Wuhou Xue Xia.

Zhu Yi's son is not good, and her daughters are all excellent, which is also strange.

"If Your Majesty kills two of his family, let's kill my family too." Fang Ying snorted angrily.

But Fang Yi is definitely stronger than Zhu Fu and Zhu Zhen.

Fang Yi can at least endure the hardships of being in the army, the level of fighting is not good, at least he can follow the march, these two goods dare not go.

"Can't do it?" Zhu Qiyu also felt tricky.

Xungui's son can't fight, and it's a matter of time before he replaces martial arts with literature.

After all, civil officials are admitted by ability, and the nobles are maintained by blood, and they are definitely inferior to civil officials.

"It can't be done." Both shook their heads.

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Father, hero, dog bear, I'm afraid that even the nobles can see it." ”

"Wechen is also worried."

Zhu Yi smiled bitterly: "Wechen will tell you the truth, if you run the school according to your method and let Wechen preside over it, for the sake of the inheritance of the title, even if Wechen has a conscience, he has to brag about his son's excellence." ”

"The reputation is easy to blow out, just use money to smash it."

"What if there is a war in the kingdom and you send him to take charge of the army, only to be defeated?"

"There is Zhao Kuo in the distance, and Li Jinglong in the nearest."

"That's not just a family thing, it's a whole country's business."

"Weichen knows that you are for the good of future generations, not to win the knighthood, but to make them talented, but others don't understand your hard work."

"Besides, Xun Guili is all relatives, can you not open your eyes and close your eyes?"

Fang Ying agreed.

Not to mention the honorable nobles, they are all honored generals, they are all intertwined, they have nothing to do with the army, and they can't command the soldiers at all.

"Since it comes to this, the old minister will tell the truth."

"Actually, the commander of 50,000 people is not so particular, as long as you can command the subordinates, as long as you don't command blindly."

"The war is not won, and it will not be defeated."

"What I'm afraid of is that the layman guides the insider, and those who don't make it at home are packaged as some famous generals through the ages, and then they are sent by the imperial court to fight at the border."

"A battle will be exposed, the soldiers will be lost, and the front line will be defeated."

"But they are not afraid, as long as the news is transmitted back in advance, and the family makes money in the DPRK, this matter can be over."

"Your Majesty, if the army collectively wants to hide it from you, you won't find out anything."

Fang Ying said seriously: "Why do you want to hide it from you, because you have to be assessed, I helped him today, and he will help me tomorrow, this kind of nepotism, the more the assessment is, the more chaotic it is, and the more it will be deceived and concealed." ”

"If this kind of assessment is really implemented, within a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty will die."

This is a very serious statement.

The reason Fang Ying also explained, can it not perish?

"I'm glad you can tell me the truth."

Zhu Qiyu agreed: "My original intention is not to restrict the lord, but to let the nobles become weapons, at least there are people in every generation to be the leaders of the nobles!" ”

"The new generation, I am optimistic about Tao Lu, Fan Sheng, Xu Ning, Zhou Yu, Song Cheng, Mao Rong and Mao Hai (Mao Zhong's nephew), gone."

"What about other people's sons? With just these few people, how can they support a huge number of nobles? ”

"Tell me, can I not be in a hurry?"

"A few years ago, I saw that Zhu Hui was good, he raised him by my side for ten years, and let him follow his father to experience, but as a result, he couldn't understand even a wild man, if it wasn't for his father Zhu Yong to give him a cover, his life would be gone."

"Don't talk about your two sons, it's not bullshit!"

"Can I not be anxious? You are my humerus, and the prince will rely on your son in the future to give him military power! ”

"If there is no noble in charge of the army, who will be in charge?"

Fang Ying and Zhu Yi's old faces were flushed.

"Let's figure it out." Zhu Qiyu said that he was tired.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a plan."

Fang Ying said slowly: "The generation of Lao Chen, who can get to this point, has been trained from the grassroots level. ”

"And the next generation of people, born with a golden key since childhood, wants them to start a business, it is difficult and difficult, and it is also difficult to keep their business, but they are the first to fight dogs and provoke right and wrong."

"It's better to throw them into the army, go through the same training as Zhu Hui, don't let them take charge of the army, just let them know how to fight."

"It's also an experience."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Yi and asked him what he thought.

"Weichen thinks it's okay." Zhu Yi said.

Zhu Qiyu thought slightly: "Tomorrow, I will set up a banquet, edict in Beijing, come to discuss together, if you can, you will go to Borneo for training." ”

"There is no danger in Borneo, there are small battles every day."

"Then select a group of capable and ambitious people from the Zhuqing family, send them to Wang Yue's army, and follow Wang Yueping for three Burmese."

The matter was settled.

The nobles are not strong, and sooner or later they will be devoured by civilian officials.

It is absolutely not possible for civilian officials to completely replace military attachés.

Because the military attache is a family, he has understood the art of war since he was a child, and the civil official is a halfway monk, and he knows a little about the art of war, and he completely relies on the experience of human life.

But if there are capable and obvious civil officials, Zhu Qiyu is willing to let them take charge of the troops, such as Xiang Zhong, Han Yong, Kou Shen, Yuan Jie, Wang Wei, Wang Lai, etc., are all in charge of the troops.

"Go and bring Nianfu here."

Zhu Qiyu carried his hands behind his back and walked around the hall.

After a while, Nian Fu came in, and after saluting, he stood on one side, not daring to disturb the emperor's thoughts.

"Nianqing, at the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, you want to talk and stop, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Do you have any objections to state-owned enterprises?" ”

"I really can't hide anything from Your Majesty."

Nian Fu sighed: "In the past few days, Lao Chen has been writing a speculative article, which is going to be published in newspapers and magazines, so that people in the world can discuss and discuss. ”

"Lao Chen always thinks that in this state-owned enterprise, the operator will only put money in his pocket, and the center will not make much money."

"Besides, if the center ends up doing business, then it will be a gluttonous feast for the courtiers to swallow up private capital."

"Lao Chen thinks that state-owned enterprises can't do it, but the central officials are all making a lot of money."

Being rich is really not afraid of offending people.

Because Li Xian is not in good health, he will go to Sanya next year to recuperate, and the position of the first assistant is vacant, and Yao Kui is too old, and his health has not been good in recent years.

Geng Jiuchou is also not in good health, and it is difficult for the household to support it.

And Bai Gui, who is the emperor's father-in-law, can't be the first assistant.

The position of the first assistant is that he is rich.

Unless Han Yong, who has made greater contributions, returns to the dynasty, he will be the first assistant and the center of the center when he is rich and stable.

"Nianqing, I am very pleased that you can tell me this."

Zhu Qiyu had already thought about it.

In fact, state-owned enterprises are a bait, this is a game of big fish eating small fish, officials go to eat small fish of the people, and finally the emperor takes action, eats them, and strengthens himself.

Don't forget, if the center can earn 200 million a year, then what else does the emperor do?

If the benefit is too great, it is a sin.

"I am also thinking that the establishment of a new brand and a new industrial chain without acquiring private industries is a way to establish a state-owned enterprise."

As a result, it will take several years for a state-owned enterprise to be successfully established.

The central ministers will definitely not choose this path.

"Listen to me."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Regarding the company, Daming is the most advanced, and at the same time, Daming is full of small brands, and there are almost no big brands." ”

"Therefore, taking a shortcut is to integrate resources and monopolize them."

"But this kind of integration is an acquisition, and the acquisition will have to bring people and equipment together, so the personnel composition will be complicated."

"The central ministers have always been tired of business, and they don't know much about business, so they will naturally be fooled and followed blindly, and in the end, they will lose their assets and blood, and they can't make a penny."

"Experience always has to be bought with money."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "So, I said, I can only use 50 million principal, and I want to make dozens or even hundreds of big brands, do you think the money is enough?" ”

"Therefore, we must also come little by little to do business, and absorb a group of people who know how to do business into the court as officials, and I plan to set up another institute, called the Institute of Commerce and Enterprises, to take charge of state-owned enterprises."

"Do it slowly from the bottom, don't be afraid to be slow."

"The gluttonous feast you spoke of no longer exists."

Nianfu understands, the emperor has long been guarding against this hand, wait, the emperor is not guarding against corruption, but waiting for people to embezzle, he is so big fish eat small fish.

Looking at the brand he established, he just wants to absorb more brands, and then form a joint force to establish a bigger brand.

"Your Majesty's meaning, the old minister understands." This is the young man who throws a stone to ask for directions.

When the emperor heard this, he explained that when Li Xian retreated, he would come up.

"Nianqing, take care of your health."

Zhu Qiyu actually hopes that Nianfu will not be the first assistant, Nianfu will be seventy-nine years old this year, and he will be eighty next year, which is older than Li Xian.

In the past few years, his health has not been good, but this old man is too strong, and he has to be the first assistant.

Shoufu is too tired, and major events in the world need Shousuke to make a decision, which shows the workload of Shousuke.

"Lao Chen is fortunate to meet the master of Ming in his life, let Lao Chen show his talents, although Lao Chen has no regrets in death!" Nian Fu knelt on the ground, his old eyes full of tears.

In the fifteenth year of Jingtai, he was rich and had sores on his back, and it was the personal imperial doctor sent by the emperor to stay by his side and save him from the ghost gate.

He was able to fight a great battle in Hubei, and he was able to jump to the center with the position of governor, all of which came from the absolute trust of the emperor.

The emperor put him in charge of the army and gave him the opportunity to govern, which is definitely a master.

And before he died, he only had one last dream, to take charge of the center and dominate the world.

The emperor fulfilled him.

"You are my confidant, my most important minister."

"Daming has today, it is you, Hu Hui, Yu Qian, Wang Yue, Han Yong and countless other people, who worked together to get it."

Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "I want to go to Kunlun Mountain to enshrine Zen, engrave your name, your name, all on Kunlun Mountain, and pass on the merits of all of you to future generations!" ”

Nian Fu wept bitterly.

Sending off the young man, Zhu Qiyu was anxious, this generation of old ministers was about to end.

And there was no one behind who could come up.

Especially in the army, the new generation of talents is withering, and the most outstanding is Tao Lu, Tao Lu also has weaknesses, and Zhu Qiyu is not optimistic about Tao Lu as the commander.

The seventh day of February.

Zhu Jianshen returned to Beijing and entered the palace to meet him.

The emperor sent all the important ministers and said bluntly: "King Chu, I will give you an army of one million, and you must take North Africa and establish the state of Chu within three years." ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard about so many soldiers, his expression was just happy, and he dimmed: "Your Majesty, the land of North Africa belongs to the Ottoman Empire. ”

"The Ottoman Empire is on the right side, and now is the time for the soldiers to be fierce, and the retainers are not sure to defeat them."

"Erchen thinks that it will take at least ten years for the establishment of the Chu State."

This is the reason why Zhu Jianshen was chosen, he didn't bother to see the benefits, but calmly analyzed.

That's the one who gets the big thing.

"That's right, according to normal speaking, the state of Chu has grown from nothing, and twenty years is less."

"But now it's a different story."

"The Ming were willing to let go of Indian interests in exchange for concessions from the Ottoman Empire."

"And you occupy North Africa, the trade between Daming and Europa, you are a transit point, you should know how profitable it is."

Ottoman, a transit businessman, often has brain pumps, and it is not a human business to do something.

In recent years, the Ming monopolized Indian trade, which made Timur and Ottoman very unhappy, and the two countries would play the role of pirates and attack the Ming merchant ships.

Zhu Jianshen was not very happy, this money has always been earned by the Ottomans, and if he earns it, he will inevitably tear his face with the Ottoman Empire.

The emperor asked him to block the guns, to block Europa and the Ottoman Empire.

That's why he was here.

"An army of one million, I will send Guo Deng to be in charge for you."

As soon as he heard Guo Deng, Zhu Jianshen's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, can you send another cavalry general, Erchen thinks Tao Jin and Shenying are doing things properly, can they be sent to Erchen?" ”

"I can't."

Zhu Qiyu directly vetoed: "The northwest can't do without them, Zhou Xi and Liu Ning sent to you, these two are famous seeds, if you use them well, you will be able to succeed." ”

"Also, you don't have to go to the first group, I will send Guo Deng to lay a base first, and then you will land."

"I will prepare the ordnance, farm tools, and seeds for you, and then I will ship them up in batches."

"But you have to pay attention, the weapons, seeds, and farm tools of the Ming Dynasty are all secrets, and they are not allowed to be leaked, as long as you can use them in the Chu State, once the leakage is known to me, I will cut your throne!"

Zhu Jianshen was startled, knelt on the ground, and didn't even dare to speak.

He was also confused, the ordnance was protected, what was the use of other things?

explained some more, and let Zhu Jianshen retreat.

"The Wang-Vietnam front has already gone west, and the good news should be about to come, and then it will be the annexation of Sam Burma and Bengal."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Transfer the king's letter into Sri Lanka and establish a feudal state for Lao Qi." ”

He also talked about domestic things.

Sure enough, in April, good news was delivered, Wang Yue had taken the whole territory of Siam, and on the way to attack Ava, Ava and Luchuan sent envoys to surrender.

Wang Yue asked for a million slaves, and the two sides were still talking.

There was hardly any suspense in the Tri-Burma War, after all, Ava and Bago had been fighting for forty years and had already drained the treasury.

Bian Yong entered the town to negotiate and gave a large piece of land to Sichuan.

and carry out land reconstruction.

The lama's intention was to make the Yellow Religion the state religion, but the central government rejected it, and only the Lamaism was allowed to preach, and the Ming Dynasty did not have a state religion.

It's just to transfer more benefits, if he doesn't know what to do, Han Yong will teach him to be a man.

Han Yong has been waiting for him to go to the snow mountain at any time.

On September 17, the good news came that Wu Si Zhen was willing to withdraw the capital and change it to Wu Si Zhen Province, and divide the Yarlung Zangbo River, with Sichuan in the east and Wu Si Zhen in the west.

Bian Yong also negotiated with Duosi Dusi, with Bayankra Mountain as the boundary, the south to Sichuan, and the north to Duosi.

Duo Si Si sent an envoy to annex and was willing to withdraw the capital and turn it into a province.

Doth is too poor, and the center really doesn't want it.

In the end, it was decided to withdraw the Duosi Du Division and change it to Qinghai Province, referred to as Yong.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty was completely finalized, with the Aral Sea in the west, the Bering Strait in the east, the Arctic Ocean in the north, and Malacca in the south.

Including Wusizhen, Qinghai, Western Regions, Gansu, Ningxia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Mongolia, Yuerhai, Rehe, Beizhili, Hebei, Liaoning, North Korea, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Turkic, Tatar, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiaozhi, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Xinyizhou, Xinjingzhou, Xinyangzhou, Xinyanzhou, Xinxuzhou, Xinqingzhou, Malacca, Luzon, Bianzhili.

Three capitals and forty provinces.

In October, Guo Deng led an army of 100,000, 30,000 peasant households, 2,000 craftsmen, and 500 doctors to cross the sea to Africa on a treasure ship.

Wang Wei led the navy to escort it.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-fifth year of Jingtai, July.

The sixteen-year-old prince finally got his wish and married Yang as the crown princess.

The four sons were married together.

The second Zhu Jiansong married Geng Yu's daughter, the third Zhu Jianyu married Liu Jian's daughter, and the fourth Zhu Jianyu married Wang Yue's daughter.

Nian Fu got what he wanted and became the first assistant.

Han Yong and Xiang Zhong were about to return to Korea, Han Yong expanded the territory of Sichuan, and Xiang Zhong, who supervised Borneo for six years, also retired.

Leave the rest to your successor.

The three provinces of Borneo have been preliminarily cleaned up.

It also has a population of more than 10 million.

But for the affluent city of Borneo, the population of tens of millions is far from being filled.

The governor of Borneo was removed from the center and three governors were set up to administer the place.

Song Wei in Luzon, but he was hit by a savage's poisonous arrow and died in Luzon, and the emperor named him Baguio Bo and posthumously named Baguio Marquis.

The emperor issued another decree to kill Luzon, and not a single gasper was left.

Song Wei's unexpected death made the emperor very sad, and he personally wrote a memorial message to mourn Song Wei, and strictly ordered the generals of the world to pay attention to safety.

Zhu Yongsheng was the governor of Luzon.

After the prince got married, he had to go out of the palace to live in the palace.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Qiyu was looking at Song Shu, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Prince." ”

"The son is here."

There are four more tables in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the four princes, each sitting at a table, are watching the government affairs handled by the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor.

"This is Xiang Zhong's recital, what do you think?"

Feng Xiao presented on his behalf, Feng Xiao is also fifty years old, aging, he has served the emperor for almost thirty years, and the emperor has allowed him not to bow more.

Before Xiang Zhong arrived in Beijing, he asked for his subordinates to petition for the official seal.

Zhu Jianqi is sixteen years old, and he went out of the cabinet to study at the age of six.

This is the power that Zhu Qiyu gave him.

But this power is something that all princes have.

When the prince's mind matures, the emperor will teach them the imperial mind.

Zhu Jianqi frowned slightly: "Erchen thinks that this Xiang Zhong is selfish. ”

"How?"

After reading it, Zhu Jianqi handed it to the second child to see, and passed it in turn.

"This is all the wish of the feudal officials under him, there is no court in his heart, only their small group, if the center promises them, won't Borneo be Xiang Zhong's Borneo?"

Xiang Zhong was in Borneo for six years and cleaned Borneo, but in the same way, he also ran Borneo like an iron bucket.

The imperial history said that Xiang Zhong had the intention of rebellion.

The Supervision Department even played a concert every day, asking the center to transfer back Xiang Zhong and break up his small group.

And Xiang Zhong, on the way back to Beijing, was still petitioning for his subordinates to be promoted.

How did the celebrant Dong Ci approve?

Agree!

"Dong Ci is simply a random criticism!"

Zhu Jianqi was very angry, he thought that Xiang Zhong had no country at all in his heart, only his own interests, and no matter how talented such a person was, he could not be reused.

It's not that it can't be reused, it's that it's killed immediately.

"Second, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiansong.

"Erchen thought that what the prince said was that Xiang Zhong's essay was somewhat resentful, obviously unwilling to return to Beijing, and more willing to run his own small world in Borneo, showing that he had a rebellious heart." Zhu Jiansong's words were murderous.

Zhu Jianyu also thinks so.

"Where's the fourth?"

The three brothers all looked at the fourth.

Zhu Jianyu grabbed his hair: "Erchen and the three elder brothers have different views, and Xiang Zhong dares to speak out and petition for the title of official, which just shows that he has no ambition." ”

Zhu Qiyu snorted: "Don't you think, this is a temptation of the center?" ”

"What does Father mean is that Xiang Zhong is testing the center, and once the center does not agree, he will immediately take a ship back to Borneo?"

Zhu Jianqi's face changed: "Then such a chaotic minister and thief, you can't stay!" ”

Zhu Qiyu was a little disappointed in these four brothers.

"Father, do you have a different opinion?" Zhu Jianyu is good at pleasing his father.

"I ask you, what is ambition? Who is ambitious? ”

Zhu Qiyu asked and answered: "People who have the ability have ambitions. ”

"When people have power, they want more power, and when they have military power, they want to be emperors, which is human nature."

"Those who have no ambition are rubbish, people who can't be reused."

"And as an emperor, don't be afraid that your courtiers are ambitious, as long as you subdue his ambitions."

Zhu Qiyu gave the eunuch who was waiting for the pen and ink a look: "Write, Xiang Zhong is allowed to play, but Xiang Zhong is corrupt and huge sums of money are sparse in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although I don't believe it, but the words are terrifying, immediately arrest Xiang Zhong and enter Beijing, the five divisions will be tried, and Xiang Zhong will be innocent." ”

"Isn't that the solution?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at his four sons: "It's not as complicated as you think." ”

"Kill those who are ambitious? Is it a rebel and a thief? ”

"Don't you have ambitions? Dare to say that you haven't remembered this position? ”

The faces of the four sons were as white as earth.

"Are they all killed? Those are all mediocre ministers, and the dynasty has long been destroyed! ”

"Use the talents of courtiers, not virtue."

"How can there be any person with both ability and integrity in this world, Zhu Jianqi, I ask you, are you?"

"You are not pushing yourself and others, why should you ask others to be moral gentlemen?"

Zhu Jianqi said in a daze: "But that's how the master taught." ”

"He taught you to believe?"

"Use your brain, think about yourself in advance, and stand in this position, what choice will you make?"

"It's normal for Xiang Zhong to be ambitious, he has such a great achievement, he should be ambitious, he should be arrogant, and he should also test the center!"

"But you can't kill him with a tentative note, that's foolish."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "You are the future emperor, and you are all emperors in the feudal country, you must remember to believe in the courtiers, but at the same time you must not be deceived by the courtiers." ”

"Father, what is the result of that Zhong Hui's trial?" Zhu Jiansong asked.

"Trial? It's just a dismount, and tell him that his careful thinking I have seen it, and that's enough. ”

"What is there to review? If you are greedy, you are greedy, and if you think about being an emperor, you can think about it, what can you do? As long as he has the ability, he has to use it! ”

"Don't be angry because of a little wind and grass, this is not what the emperor should do."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "If you want to be a rebel and a thief in Daming, it's not that simple, don't look at Borneo far overseas, I can kill anyone with a holy decree, including Xiang Zhong." ”

No one knows how many nails the emperor buried in each province.

And this, only Zhu Qiyu can do it, and when the prince ascends the throne, he can't do it.

But before the last step, Zhu Qiyu will never do it.

"To be an emperor, you have to know how to pretend to be confused and tacit with your courtiers."

"Do you really think that these harmless old ministers are so obedient when they were young?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Everyone has ambitions, if you use it well, you will be a famous minister, and if you don't use it well, you will be the king of the country." ”

"This chair is not easy to sit on."

"Out of the wind, the seventh child is not a princess yet, I have taken a fancy to Xiang Zhong's granddaughter, and I will get married when I am old."

"It's called grace."

"If you slap someone, you have to give sweet dates to others, otherwise why would people give you their lives? Because your surname is Zhu? Or do you have a big face? ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Remember, being an emperor is to cut the cake, and managing the courtiers is to return the interests." ”

"What he wants, what can you give, in order to be a good emperor."

"Of course, you have to have absolute authority to be like me."

"If you don't, you can live and pretend you don't know anything."

"Sometimes being alive is more important than anything else."

Zhu Qiyu taught his sons.

"Sons and daughters are taught." The four sons fell to their knees.

"This time, I understand how the celebrant approved it, right? Dong Ci is my humerus. Zhu Qiyu smiled and sat back on the throne.

The emperor first added the official position of Borneo officials, punished Xiang Zhong, and then recruited Xiang Zhong's granddaughter as the seventh princess.

This is to beat Xiang Zhong and tell him to be honest and not to have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

If you don't believe it, go back to Borneo now and see if they are willing to rebel against you?

At the same time, I am also telling Xiang Zhong, I remember all your merits, what I can give you is definitely more than what you can get from rebellion, why don't we continue to cooperate, how about you Xiang Zhong?

The princes were thoughtful.

"If you want to have absolute power, you have to be able to sit on the bench."

"If the courtiers sit for eight hours, you will sit for ten hours, or even more."

"If you don't have that perseverance, you won't be able to sit on this chair."

Zhu Qiyu asked them to continue to watch the music.

When I returned to the East Palace in the evening, Zhu Jianqi and the crown princess said: "Today, my father and the emperor told me a lot of important things that I couldn't hear before. ”

He wanted to talk to Yang, but Yang didn't dare to listen.

She has just gotten married, and if she offends her in-laws because of this, what awaits her is death.

She is different from other princesses, she is the daughter of a small official family, and she does not have such a big backer.

"Your Highness, are you hungry? The concubine has prepared your favorite food. "Yang left the main hall.

Zhu Jianqi was depressed, and he didn't even have anyone to talk to.

I used to treat the Yang family as Bai Yueguang, but when I married home, I didn't feel fragrant, and it was better to miss each other, men were all big pigs' trotters.

He thought about it, and asked the teacher tomorrow.

The next day, the morning dynasty.

The four princes stood in the middle of the Danqi, and after they went up to the Danqi first, they had to bow to the teachers first, and the courtiers bowed to the emperor, and they stood aside.

Zhu Qiyu had a calm face and was not in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, the old minister said before, you promised the army once, and all the armies will make trouble in the future, make trouble today, go home tomorrow, and there will be no peace in the future."

Sun Yuanzhen was the first to speak.

No, the garrison of Uszan made a fuss, saying that the plateau climate could not stand it, and shouted that they wanted to go home, or add money.

As soon as Han Yong set off to return to Beijing, they made a fuss.

"The climate is harsh, which is understandable, and an additional plateau subsidy will be added."

Zhu Qiyu was not angry about this, but as soon as Han Yong left Sichuan, the generals under him made trouble, making it clear that he was afraid of Han Yong and not afraid of the center.

This is Han Jiajun?

Yelling for Han Yong to go back?

Is this going to trap Han Yong to death, trapping Han Yong to death on the snowy mountain?

"Your Majesty, this wind can't rise!"

Sun Yuanzhen said hurriedly: "It's better to let Han Yong go back, dispose of these people, and then go back to Beijing." ”

Zhu Qiyu looked at Sun Yuanzhen, Han Yong came back, he wanted to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he Sun Yuanzhen was ninety-one.

There are three squires in the military department, just because Sun Yuanzhen can hardly be in charge.

Now that Han Yong is not said in the court, it seems that he still wants to dominate the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War.

can understand, people, they are all official fans.

Look at the young man, eighty-one years old, after becoming the first assistant, the spirit is actually better.

"Don't toss Han Yong, add money first, and appease the soldiers, it's really the plateau."

Zhu Qiyu said: "In the past few years, Bai Ang and Peng Yi have gone to the Snow Mountain, but they can't get angry, it's really difficult." ”

While they were discussing, a eunuch ran in.

"Emperor, bad news is coming from the Taifu Mansion!"

Taifu is Li Xian.

Suddenly, Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Didn't the Tai Hospital say that Li Xian's health is improving?" Why is it gone? ”

"Swing and go to Taifu's Mansion!"

"Quick!"

When Hu Hu was alive, he said that Li Xian was able to support the court situation, and for more than ten years, Li Xian supported the court situation, so the Ming Dynasty entered a period of rapid development.

In the past few years, Li Xian's health has not been good, so he is no longer a director.

But he is still the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Ming Dynasty.

A group of old ministers, although they are not very councilors, but they play a vital role in the Ming Dynasty.

They are old and sophisticated, have a precise control of the situation, and can always give the emperor the best advice.

All the courtiers drove to Li Xian's mansion.

He knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

In the inner hall, Li Xian was like a good person, and when he saw the emperor, he smiled: "Your Majesty, are you here?" ”

It's a flashback!

"Shousuke, I'm here." Zhu Qiyu glanced at Li Zhang, thinking of the scene where Li Zhang tortured Li Xian before, and felt very interesting, but now things are different.

"Your Majesty." Li Xian looked at the emperor and smiled.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed his hand: "I can't do without you, you have been my humerus all these years, giving advice to me and sheltering Daming from the wind and rain." ”

"The old minister is reluctant to give up Your Majesty."

Li Xian was still laughing: "But the first emperor is summoning the old minister and asking the old minister to serve over there." ”

"The development of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Chen is not worried at all."

"The road you are referring to is better than the road that Daming has stuck to for a hundred years, but it's a pity that Lao Chen can't see the end."

"The old minister can't see the time for Kunlun Mountain to seal Zen."

Li Xian looked at the emperor and smiled: "Before the old minister died, he wanted to advise His Majesty one last time, and I hope you will allow it." ”

"I'll listen, I'll be sure."

The former Li Xian, who is not the current Xiang Zhong, is also difficult to tame.

But it took Zhu Qiyu eighteen years to finally tame this person.

But just a few years after he was tamed, he was about to die.

"Your Majesty is well-read and strong-minded, and he knows about the Anshi Rebellion."

"The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is Xuanzong, and the defeat is also Xuanzong."

"The old minister, please remember that your majesty must not learn from Tang Xuanzong and put the authority in the hands of the minister Yang Guozhong."

"Now in the court, there are Nian Fu, Xiang Zhong, Han Yong, Geng Jiuchou, Bai Gui, and Wang Fuzhi, who can temporarily stabilize the court."

"But they're all getting older."

"Lao Chen thinks that the people who will stabilize the center in the future are Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia."

"You have to make good use of these people."

"Don't be, don't be Tang Xuanzong, Daming is everyone's hard work."

"Although the ministers once tried their best to refuse Daming to take this road, but Your Majesty, you insisted on going your own way, and the ministers worked hard to move forward and pay everything for Daming."

"Your Majesty, this is everyone's hard work, Your Majesty, you must not destroy it, you must not destroy it!"

Li Xian wailed.

Crying and crying, there is no life.

Zhu Qiyu slowly closed his eyes, full of sadness: "I heard it, Shousuke, I will always remember your words." ”

Hearing the news of Li Xian's breathlessness, there was a lot of crying outside.

Li Zhang also knelt on the ground, howling and crying.

"Your father is my humerus, a virtuous minister of the Ming Dynasty, and a hero of the Ming Dynasty."

"But God is jealous of talent."

"Why do those who do nothing live? Why did my humerus have to leave me? ”

Zhu Qiyu's voice was sad: "Li Zhang, you have to be a person like your father, this is my expectation of you." ”

"Wechen obeys!" Li Zhang kowtowed.

He walked slowly out of the room.

The courtiers were all gathered outside, and Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Add Taifu as the Taishi, a first-class pillar country, a scholar of the Huagai Palace, and worship Li Xian in the temple, Zhuqing, pick a good name." ”

The news of Li Xian's death reached Fangshan, and Xu Hui, who was engaged in pesticide research, vomited blood when he heard the news and died.

As soon as Xu Huo died, the future of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was uncertain.

Wang Lai, who lingered on the sickbed, also came with an obituary.

"The loss of three important ministers in one day is painful!"

Zhu Qiyu was in an extremely bad mood: "I also promised them that I would take them to Kunlun Mountain to practice Zen, why don't you wait?" Doth has been attached! ”

"Please take care of your majesty." The courtiers advised the emperor.

Wang Lai's death was expected, but Li Xian and Xu Hui died in an accident.

"Tomorrow morning, the morning stops, I'm not in the mood." Zhu Qiyu was in a low mood, and Daming's ability to achieve today's results was closely related to the efforts of the ministers.

These old ministers are the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Jingtai Dynasty.

The emperor often came up with strange ideas, and these old ministers could advise the emperor, and occasionally give advice to wipe the emperor's ass.

But the old ministers left one after another, making the emperor feel down.

The prince came to pick up Xiang Zhong in person, and Xiang Zhong was not a prisoner at all, he was dressed in military uniform, and he was a general, which made the prince have a very bad impression of him.

In winter, the lingering Empress Dowager Wu finally couldn't stand it anymore and died.

The emperor mourned for three days, and the whole people mourned.

During this period, the news of Xu Bin's death came again, Xu Bin was almost ninety years old, and he still didn't survive this winter.

He is also in poor health and bones, and he can't stand the rush, so he recuperates in Beijing and dies in Beijing, which is okay.

But the celebrant is missing an old man.

Xiang Zhong entered the cabinet, and Han Yong served as the secretary of the military department.

It's December.

Suddenly, a eunuch came to report that Shoufu Nianfu had vomited blood in the cabinet.

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback and immediately went to the cabinet.

The Tai Hospital was rescuing, and Nianfu saw the figure of the emperor, waved his hand, signaling that he would not be treated, but reached out to catch the emperor.

"Nianqing, I'm here."

The four princes also knelt on the ground, and Nian Fu was their teacher, one of the most important teachers on their life path.

Zhu Qiyu grabbed his hand, which was covered with blood stains.

"No, I can't go on with you."

"I can get the grace of Mingjun, and I am a very good minister, and the old minister dies without regrets."

"It's just that the old minister has one thing that he can't rest assured."

Nianfu's voice trembled, and he grabbed the emperor's hand vigorously: "Your Majesty, Daming is thriving, but it is very turbulent behind the scenes, it seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, it is cooking oil on fire." ”

"You, you must not indulge your nature, beware of Tang Xuanzong's troubles."

"Your Majesty, Da Ming is your masterpiece today, you can't destroy him with your own hands!"

"Your Majesty!"

Nianfu hung this breath and kept calling the emperor.

"I know, I don't do Tang Xuanzong, I don't do it!" Zhu Qiyu's tears were swirling, and another old minister died.

He was also the second one to persuade him not to be Tang Xuanzong.

Anyone can see that Da Ming is getting better rapidly, just like the Tang Dynasty, reaching the extreme, but he fell off the altar like a cliff.

Therefore, before Li Xian and Nian Fu died, what they wanted was not to be Tang Xuanzong.

The king also left a letter before he died, which also advised the emperor to keep the foundation and not be complacent.

"Your Majesty, bad news from the northeast."

Within a few days, the news came that the governor of North Korea, Luo Qi, had died of illness.

Zhu Qiyu was depressed, why did so many important ministers leave me?

And another eunuch came in.

"Has anyone died?" Zhu Qiyu was in a bad mood.

"Back to the emperor, even my father-in-law died of illness."

"Lian Zhong?" Zhu Qiyu wondered, Lian Zhong has been working in the Water Control Division, his health has always been very good, and he has followed him to the plateau, why did he die suddenly?

"I heard that even Gonggong heard that the Queen Mother had passed away, so he died!"

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, very desperate.

Lian Zhong has been in the Water Control Department for many years, and he has made great contributions, and he is also in good health, but because of his deep relationship with the Empress Dowager Wu, he went.

"Is this God punishing Da Ming? So many old ministers, within a year, died one after another, where is the future of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Qiyu muttered to himself.
