It wasn't until the evening that Zhu Qiyu dragged his tired body back home.

After bathing and lying on the bed, Zhu Qiyu pulled his little princess over and instructed: "Come here, I have four things for you to do." ”

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "I ordered four things in one breath, and this is the first time for my husband." Have you been doing a lot lately? ”

"Well, by the time the mission we sent out arrives at the Warat camp, it should have broken through the Great Wall again and entered Shanxi. So it's coming soon, and it's time for us to get busy. ”

"Then please ask the husband to give me."

"First of all, the tributary missions of the Joseon Kingdom and the Ryukyu Kingdom are now in Gyeongshi. You and your mother will have a family banquet, take the crown prince, and invite them for me.

One is to invite them to go up to the city tower and watch the defense of the Beijing Division, so that they can go back to promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty and redeem the image of the Celestial Empire that our Ming Dynasty lost because of the civil fort.

The other is that I will do business with them in the future. There is too much resistance to going to the Western Ocean, and going to the South Sea is also opposed by various people. So I'm going to start with the Lower Orient. The Ryukyu Kingdom, in particular, is very important, and I want to make it a transit point for trade with Korea and Japan. ”

"So what exactly?"

"At first, don't scare them. The Ryukyus Kingdom had almost no farmland, and was unable to provide food rations, and there were frequent famines. So let's first think that they will provide food security as a breakthrough and establish a trading base in the Ryukyus, and then slowly increase the weight.

In short, it is to build a relationship first, build mutual trust, trade things, and take your time later. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "Okay, the slave family understands, what about the second thing?" ”

"I arranged for the descendants of Zheng Guogong, Cao Guogong, Song Guogong, and Wei Guogong to go to Beijing to watch the battle. These four families have no property in Beijing except for the knight, you arrange a separate courtyard, properly place them, and then invite them together with the mother and the prince.

These are the descendants of Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, and Deng Yu, who made great contributions to the founding of the country, and if they are willing to take the initiative to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I intend to restore their dukedoms.

But you don't have to implicit it to them, I will restore the title to whoever is willing to serve the country spontaneously. If they don't take the initiative, then I can't help it.

In addition, the king of Jin took the initiative to ask to enter Beijing to congratulate, and the king of Ninghua of the Jin domain took the initiative to take his six sons to Beijing to kill the enemy. I agreed, in the name of letting them go to Beijing to watch the battle on behalf of the vassal king, and then after the battle, they would tell the other clans about the process of defending the Jingshi.

You also invite them with your mother, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are not convinced by me, and I don't understand why the King of Jin took the initiative to ask to enter Beijing to congratulate, and there is a chance for you to find out his details for me. ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she was speechless.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "What's wrong, is there any problem?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, and Deng Yu, who are the second, third, and fourth places in the Ming Dynasty Heroes Temple, and they are big names in the sky. Unexpectedly, one day, the slave family was qualified to entertain their descendants. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It's far more than that, as long as people are a little bit more knowledgeable, they will rush to the top for the sake of their own family interests." How's it going, isn't this princess enjoyable? ”

Lin Xiangyu said angrily when she heard this: "The husband is good or bad, dig a pit for the slave family." It's a pity that the slave family is not fooled, no matter how complacent they are, the slave family will never put up a fight with such a hero. The slave family advises you, it's better to make less ghosts, and obediently talk about the third thing. ”

"Hmph, you are such a little girl, it's really hard to fool. Forget it, in two or three days, the Marquis of Xing'an will return to Beijing with the elite of Shaanxi's border army, you send someone to his mansion and make an invitation.

I, you, my mother, the prince, and the princess feasted him together. Now in the northern Xungui, there is only this one old Xungui who can play, and the others who can fight are all dead in Tumu Fort.

So if the other nobles don't accept me, forget it, it doesn't matter, but I must get Xing'an Hou to get it. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu immediately added an emphasis: "At all costs, if you are in a hurry, I will not hesitate to take the position of the national prince." Without a strong nobleman to carry the beam for me, I will be very passive in the future. ”

"Got it, what's the fourth thing?"

"The Ministry of War transferred the ordnance of the Nanjing arsenal to Beijing, and among the people in charge of the escort, there was a Nanjing internal official who supervised Yu Ruan Xi.

If he comes to our house and I'm not there, you have to entertain him well. He is my confidant eunuch, and he is only in his early thirties, and I have taken him as a key training object, and I am ready to let him take charge of the master of ceremonies and the inner study hall for me in the future. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "It turns out that the husband really has a confidant eunuch." ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "That's, as the saying goes, rats have three friends." What's more, my dignified prince still has three or two big cats and small cats under his command. ”

"What other henchmen and eunuchs does the husband have?"

Zhu Qiyu replied with a smile: "Let me tell you a good story, in the Orthodox Dynasty, in the inner court of our Ming Dynasty, there are three most powerful eunuchs: Wang Zhen, Fan Hong, and Jin Ying.

These three people have countless disciples and grandchildren, and most of the eunuchs in the palace are from the names of the three people. These three people are also the hardcore henchmen of the Emperor Taishang, and they firmly control the inner court.

It's a pity that Wang Zhen and Fan Hong both died in Tumubao, and the Emperor Taishang lost the throne again, so the power structure of the inner court has to be reshuffled.

If Wang Zhen, Fan Hong, and Jin Ying are the first echelon, the later Xing'an, Shangyi, Chen Xiang, Wang Jin and others form their own factions and constitute the second echelon.

Among them, Wang Jin is our people. Ruan Xi and Hao Yi are both outstanding under Wang Jin's name, Hao Yi is now the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and it will not be long before I will promote him to be the Imperial Horse Supervisor Palm Seal, and he will also be the Commander of Xichang for me in the future. ”

Lin Xiangyu praised when she heard this: "This is also very powerful, the husband can really control the imperial horse supervisor." ”

"Well, all the people in the cabinet today have been put on the thief ship by me. Give me another three years, and I'll be able to build a whole governing body.

Then when the time comes, I will welcome the Emperor back and let him give me the Zen position. In this way, from a legal point of view, I am not a courtier of the emperor, and we will not care about the monarch or the minister in the future, but only about brotherhood and affection.

Emperor Taishang suffered from the bitter cold outside the plug, and his health has been poor since he came back.

At that time, we succeeded the crown prince, and the imperial line was officially transferred. It's the most peaceful way I can think of. ”

"Okay, the slave family knows, make sure to do all the four things that the husband told you properly, and you don't have to worry about the husband."
