Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I just move my mouth, and the real credit lies in our skilled craftsmen." In a word: all craftsmen must contribute their lifelong wisdom to the ultimate in building ordnance to attack Annam.

I do not hesitate to give rewards, I ask for money for money, and I ask for officials for officials. After Annan was laid, everything was easy to discuss. ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he stood up and said: "Holy Lord, the minister invites Ying to go to Liangguang to participate in the battle to recover Annam. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, after the New Year, you and Chengshan Hou will lead the troops south." You go to replace Wang Ao, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, and succeed him as the governor of Liangguang.

I will allocate 80,000 elite soldiers from the capital, and you can also requisition the local troops of Liangguang. Whatever you need, just ask, as long as the few can do it, it can satisfy you.

I have just one request: to fight the battle beautifully, play the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and completely deter the young people at home and abroad.

Well played, Count, no problem.

But the ugly words are in front, what I gave you is my most precious pro-army, and the losses that will be given to me are broken, even if I capture Annam, not to mention that the earl does not have it, I still have to settle accounts with you. ”

Xu Youzhen replied confidently: "Rest assured, the saint, Weichen will definitely live up to his mission." I just dare to ask the saint, when the time comes, can the minister be named 'martial arts'? ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded affirmatively: "As long as you can do what I asked you just now, martial arts uncle, you can, you don't have any jokes." ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express his determination.

Zhu Qiyu likes ambitious ministers, and the reason why Xu Youzhen in history participated in the change of seizing the door was also forced by Jingtai to have no way. Jingtai stuck on Xu Youzhen to prevent her from coming out, and in the end, people jumped in a hurry, which is also human nature.

For ministers who are capable, ambitious and ambitious, and want to leave a name in history, the most cruel thing is to not meet Huaicai. When you are fifty years old, you can't get ahead, and you have to jump to everyone.

Thinking from this point of view, Zhu Qiyu said that he could understand Xu Youzhen.

After solving this problem, Zhu Qiyu took everyone around twice, then returned to the inner city and dispersed.

Back at the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, after eating dinner and washing, Zhu Qiyu hugged left and right and got into the quilt.

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Alas, this day, it's really difficult." Your husband has slain a great crowd. Hurry up and let Brother Fang grow up, I really don't want to do this emperor. ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she hurriedly spurred on: "Husband, don't keep thinking about harming our son, the slave family doesn't want him to be in his early twenties, just like his husband, he is embarrassed by the ministers every day like a third grandson." ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "Why are you little couple so funny, other emperors hate to sit on the dragon chair to death, and they are suspicious of the prince like a thief every day; Other princes count the days every day, wishing they could get up early and wake up to the throne.

The most radical ones will even appear like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Prince Wei, Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui.

It's good that the two of you don't want to continue to be emperors, and the other doesn't want to ascend the throne early, which is also a pair of alternative wonders. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "What's more, at the beginning, didn't you still want to be a woman for me for a few years, if it didn't go well, then roll up and run away." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "In the past, the little woman had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, but now the slave has been completely conquered by the master, even if you punch and kick, the slave will rely on the master, and will not run away anymore." ”

"It's useless to say something nice, I'll have to educate you well in a while. Ningxiang has a menstrual affair today, and when you go home tomorrow, there will be Xue'er and Xi'er, the two little clever ghosts, competing with you to sleep. You're a pet tonight, and I'm not going to let you faint again. ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she immediately lifted the quilt and knelt on the bed with a red face.

Ning Xiang asked, "Husband, what are we going to do tomorrow?" ”

Zhu Qiyu sat up and knelt behind Lin Xiangyu, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Fengtian Capital Division next door, gather the generals, and announce the establishment of the three major capital divisions."

Then there is nothing to do, let's go back to the old palace and rearrange the use of the old palace. Then go to the Marquis Mansion of Huichang to investigate the matter of sculpting a jade statue for our queen mother.

For the rest of the time, you can arrange it, and I will accompany you to our shop? ”

Ning Xiang nodded: "Let's go to Mingyufang first, then go to the Houhou Mansion of Huichang, and then go out of Beijing from Deshengmen nearby, and let Feng'er enjoy the bumps in the chariot on the way home."

Last time she joked about the slave family like that, this time it was her turn to be unlucky. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Feel free, you women are jealous, I don't mix with it, and I don't worry about it." Whichever lady wins, I'll listen to which lady commands. ”

Lin Xiangyu teased: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you are too much to see the wind and rudder. ”

Zhu Qiyu replied nonchalantly: "This is not a shame, Junjie who knows the current affairs will only follow the winner." ”

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu to the Fengtian Dusi next door to the Marquis of Wuding.

The head of the Fengtian Division, as well as the five eunuchs in power of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, were all waiting here early.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the palm print eunuch Hao Yi of the imperial horse eunuch, the admiral eunuch Pei Dang, the supervising eunuch Fu'an, the left young eunuch Liu Xiang, and the right young eunuch Chen Lin, and felt much more comfortable.

This is all a henchman, firmly in control of the Imperial Horse Prison for himself. And the Imperial Horse Supervisor now firmly controls the defense of the capital.

The force of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jinyi Guard is not enough to see in front of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

This situation is better than when I first ascended the throne, but I don't know where it is.

When they came to the main hall, everyone finished their salutes and took their seats in turn.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the top seat with Lin Xiangyu in his arms, and sighed to the beauty with a smile: "Soon after the Tumubao Incident, I just became the king of Qi and was in charge of military politics. At that time, the people were panicked and the situation was turbulent.

One by one, I went to the mansions of the fallen nobles to mourn, and one by one I met with the generals in the army.

I was perfunctory everywhere, and almost no one paid attention to me. In the end, the only one who was willing to follow me was Xu Yongning, who was only ten years old at the time, and then I let him inherit the title of Duke of Dingguo early.

A prince of the prison country, leading a ten-year-old prince, was so pitiful at that time.

What is Chengguo Gong Zhu Yi, as well as Shi Heng, Sun Bo, Liu Yongcheng, hey......

At that time, the generals and troops who were loyal to me, and the people in front of us helped me to support the situation with difficulty. We are all in this together.

It wasn't until later that I finally got a Xing'an Marquis Xu Heng who was willing to be loyal to me, and brought me 30,000 of the most elite Shaanxi border troops, and the throne was really secure.

It's not easy to think about it at the beginning, it's really emotional. ”

Zhao Xuan, who was at the front, stood up and replied: "The saint is the destiny of heaven, how can Xiao Xiao stop it." The princess is virtuous and virtuous, and gave birth to an heir for the saint early, which shows that the destiny of heaven is there and the people's hearts are desired.

Inherited by father and son, chasing Wenjing, it is in line with the will of heaven. ”

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Zhao Xuan in surprise, in fact, I didn't mean to express this, why did you come up and point to the problem of the heir.

The key is to express his support for Zhu Wenfang as the emperor so bluntly, so tactful.

are all his henchmen, generals, and eunuchs, and Zhu Qiyu will not hide it. Telling outsiders that the prince will not be changed, that is to maintain the political image and maintain the unity of the government and the opposition.

Talking about these things with your own people will only make your henchmen confused and uneasy.

So Zhu Qiyu nodded and acquiesced: "When Xuanmiao was still the grandson, Taizong selected the young army and formed the vanguard of the government army to protect the grandson.

Elect some of you to defend the Son. Not too many people at the beginning, no more than 1,000 people.

Anyone under the age of 15 must be selected only from the children of the three meritorious soldiers of the pro-army army, and they must be carefully examined, as long as they are upright and young. ”

Zhao Xuan and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and happily accepted the order. Comparing the prince with the grandson, the emperor is almost publicly recognizing Zhu Wenfang as the next emperor.

Zhu Qiyu continued to instruct: "I decided to build three more Xingdu Divisions, Daning Xingdu Division, to manage Daning and its surroundings; Shuncheon Xingdu Division, which governs the Gyeonggi region north of Baoding; The Baoding Xingdu Division is in charge of Baoding and the Gyeonggi area to the south.

Daning, Shuntian, and Baoding are under the control of Fengtian Division. ”
