In the first half of this year, Zhu Qiyu's main task for himself was to select talents.

Needless to say, the new branch of Jinshi has to be carefully cultivated. Even if he is a stock official, Zhu Qiyu plans to plow from scratch like a cultivated land, which is called picking up the missing and making the best use of it.

Especially officials at the level of squires and political envoys, they have to be well explored.

For Xungui, you have to pick and choose again to see if there is anything worth saving.

Then, in the second half of the year, the reform of officials was carried out, and a set of standard promotion procedures were also formulated for the rank of officials. In this way, the enthusiasm of the officials can be mobilized, and secondly, a large number of supporters can be drawn.

This year, Shanxi was completely squeezed dry, and then the Great Wall defense line began to be reorganized. By the way, kill the Liao King.

Next year, we will complete the three-year tax exemption plan, and then try to destroy the Buddha.

In the following year, he began to conquer Cochin and re-entered the South Seas. At this time, it is basically time for the Emperor Taishang's faction to make a last stand, and Cao Jixiang, the only eunuch who has rebelled for thousands of years, is funny to think about.

Therefore, in order to use troops against the south, it is necessary to greatly strengthen the power and role of Nanjing, especially the Nanjing Military Department and the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qiyu summoned all the important ministers in charge of the Nanjing Military Department.

As for whether to send Wang Ji and Chen Mao to Nanjing, it depends on the situation.

Seeing that the emperor was outside the wandering objects there, He Yi also began to be in a daze on the side.

Zhu Qiyu felt a bit of psychological pressure because his eldest brother was about to return to Beijing, so he began to calculate and weigh back and forth. And He Yi is because of the newlywed Yan'er, and his body can't bear it.

When Zhu Qiyu finished thinking about his thoughts and came back to his senses, he saw He Yi sitting there staggering, already a little confused.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do righteousness, cheer up, we are both about the same age, how do I feel that you are a little lacking in energy these days?"

Is it bad to eat, I still have a lot of fresh venison at home, why don't I have someone send you some? ”

When He Yi heard that there was venison, he immediately nodded again and again, and then began to complain: "It's not that the minister is not in bad health, but that the newly married lady is too beautiful and too enthusiastic.

You said that the princess is too, such a good woman, she should be included in the harem for Her Majesty, not to say what to do to the minister, now the minister has a home and does not dare to go back. ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand vigorously: "Don't mention the harem, only you don't dare to go home, it's like I dare to go home."

I don't care what happens to you, anyway, I won't have any new women in my family.

Before I became the emperor, I still fantasized about accepting a harem and three thousand beauties. When I really became the emperor, I realized that those conjectures would be forgotten soon, and only fifteen favorite concubines would take my own life. ”

He Yi nodded: "That minister is the same as His Majesty, this life is like this, it is easy to have a restless house if you have more wives and concubines." ”

"Who says it's not, don't look at my fifteen favorite concubines are gentle and virtuous, but they all said bluntly, if I really accept another batch of women, the backyard house fight will definitely start, and it will not be more peaceful than others.

So I don't want a new woman anymore, or I'll probably drink the medicine one day. Life is short, but the most important thing is to live well. ”

He Yi asked curiously: "Your Majesty's favorite concubines will also fight?" The minister has always thought that all the ladies are gentle as water, like fairies who do not eat fireworks in the world. ”

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands helplessly: "They are as good as you think they are now, as long as I don't accept newcomers, I can do anything to them."

If you accept a new person, you can't say what the future holds.

So I'm still guarding for them, I'm already happy like a fairy, and there's no need to find trouble for myself.

Alright, I'll have some deer for you when you go back.

Let's talk about who to let be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Jiao Hong, the head of the household department, was an excellent candidate, but unfortunately he died of illness in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy.

Hey, I'm worried, tell me if there are any good candidates. ”

He Yi asked: "Is Your Majesty ready to start building sailors in Fujian and Zhejiang and restarting Western trade?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded.

He Yi said with a smile: "The minister is from Fujian, or the minister Mao will recommend himself." ”

Zhu Qiyu immediately shook his head very resolutely: "Don't even think about it, you, Huang Pu, and Xu Youzhen are all capable of doing this errand, but I won't let you go."

Jiao Hong died of illness on the way back to Beijing in May of the 14th year of orthodoxy, there were police in Shanxi in June, Yanghekou was defeated in July, and Tumubao changed in August.

Judging from this point in time, I always feel that Jiao Hong's death is not so simple.

Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, going to the West is an extremely sensitive matter anyway, and I won't let you go. You might as well recommend me a personal choice. ”

He Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, so he had to reply: "Henan Zuobu political envoy is rich, and during his tenure in Shaanxi and Henan, he fought against Haoqiang, was indomitable, courageous and promising, and shook the world.

The minister thought that the young man was just in line with His Majesty's requirements. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he leaned back weakly, covered his face with his hands, and sighed again and again: "Oh, this young man, I also transferred his archives from the ministry and studied them carefully."

Judging from the resume, it is not bad, and the political envoy who can do it as a person is obviously a capable person. But as soon as I saw the person recommended by Sanyang, I had a headache. ”

He Yi heard the words and persuaded: "Nian Fu is recommended by Yang Pu, among the three Yangs, Yang Pu is known for his integrity, honesty and quietness, and his ethics are somewhat stronger than the other two Yangs."

And Nian Fu is different from Yu Qian, although they are both valued by Sanyang, but Yu Qian was imprisoned by Emperor Taishang that year, and the vassal kings and Haoqiang of Shanxi and Henan also collectively wrote to intercede for Yu Qian.

And Nianfu really fought against Haoqiang, and the vassal kings and Haoqiang of Shaanxi and Henan were incompatible with water and fire.

Nianfu really risked his own future, risked his life, and would be dismissed and punished at any time.

This really doesn't seem to be a fraud, Nian Fu is sincerely wanting to ask for the people's life and clarify the rule of officials. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, but still didn't want to speak.

He Yi continued to add: "Since Your Majesty wants to completely liquidate Sanyang, you should reuse Nianfu as an example, so that civil and military officials can see that Your Majesty will not punish you for no reason."

As long as he is talented and virtuous, and sincerely for the court and the people, no matter who recommends him, His Majesty will appoint him regardless of suspicion.

In this way, the hearts of civil and military officials can be determined, the government and the opposition can be peaceful, and His Majesty's holy virtue can be revealed. For the country and the people, it is beneficial and harmless. ”

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, and then turned a corner: "Okay, give an order to Nianfu to enter Beijing." I personally instructed him, and then let him go to the post of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Restarting trade with the West is a big problem, and I hope that Nianfu will not disappoint me.

This time, we not only have to build an invincible ocean-going sailor, but also become customized, so that the courtiers behind cannot revoke it. ”

He Yi asked again: "The exam will start in a few days, and it was originally scheduled to let Chen, Huang Pu, and Yue Zheng be the same examiners, but now that Yue is going to greet the Emperor, who should fill this place?" ”
