Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Which immortal came up with the idea of lacking virtue in burning wasteland, you burned all the grass, what do the livestock of the Warat people eat." ”

Qianxue teased: "Even the Warat people sympathize, husband, you are about to become a good person in Zhu." Fortunately, Cao Guogong realized your painstaking efforts, accepted the tribe of Amasanchi, the third son of Yexian, and settled him in Shazhou.

Now there are only two forces left in Warat, Huo'er Kuda and Boyan Timur. According to Cao Guogong's analysis, Boyan Timur showed signs of defecting to Yili Sholi.

Huo'er suddenly replied to the Emperor Gongrang's illegitimate son King Yi to order the Mengyuan tribes. Boyan Timur was difficult to compete with and could not bear it. ”

"Very good, very good, soon we will have a reason to destroy all the Warat, Yili and Eastern Chagatai, and then go west to war with the Timurid Empire and the Golden Horde.

Let Wang Ji and Chen Mao fight slowly in the south, let Cao Guogong and King Su fight in the west, and I am responsible for fighting the Jurchens, Korea, and Japan in the east.

In the north of Tatar, I sent Wang Yue and Yu Zijun over, and let them attack and defend together, and try to partner for a few years.

There are Nianfu, Xuanhui and Xinguo Gong Tang Jie in the southeast, Yue Zheng, Lu Yu and Cui Gong in Shandong, and Wang Lai and Xiang Zhong in Huguang.

Several people are responsible for one direction and at the same time navigating.

Otherwise, I alone will not be able to finish this battle in 20 years.

It's almost over, and the next generation has grown up. When the time comes, Prince Dafeng will go farther away to expand his territory.

This is my cosmopolitan sinicism. ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, he concluded: "Only by expanding the territory can you become an emperor." Only the Yongle Emperor followed by the Jingtai Emperor can completely cover the light of Hongxi, Xuande, and orthodoxy. ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Think far, think far, I just need future generations not to curse me."

We still urged Li Bingba, the governor of Shanxi, to order him to supervise the military affairs of Shanxi, move the guards of the former Shanxi Xingdu Division and the former Wanquan Capital Division to Dongsheng, and step up the consolidation of Dongsheng's city defense.

This Li Bing is not convinced by me, and next year let him experience the sinister nature of the world. ”

……

Three days later, the township test ended.

On December 24, the talents who finished the exam had programs to watch, and Zhao Caixing, Xiao Bao and others were delayed before Damingmen.

On December 28, after intense grading, Shuntianfu Township tried to release the list.

On the same day, Luchuan rebelled against the head of Sijifa, Sibu Fa, and the Burmese royal family were escorted to Beijing. The escort team hurried and hurried, and finally brought the people to Jingshi before the Chinese New Year.

Surprisingly, the emperor behaved very gently, placing the former royal family members of Luchuan and Burma with the former royal family members of Annam.

All of these live in the Ten Princes' Mansion, with good food, good drink, and good hospitality, and they can all celebrate the New Year in peace.

On the contrary, it was the concubine of Xuanmiao, and her life was relatively bleak. The two imperial concubines Chaoyun and Duyu, accompanied by the four great eunuchs Zhang Yong, Wang Qin, Ruan Xi, and Chen Xiang, supervised the Xuanmiao concubines to move into Yingtai.

Yingtai is a small island in the South China Sea of Xiyuan. The two imperial concubines specially repaired the Xiangluan Pavilion on the island for the concubines, and the clothes and food were not short. The little eunuchs Zhang Ben and Zhang Qing were still arranged to take care of the concubine's diet and daily life.

At first, Concubine Lu thought it was fine, but when she went up to the attic, near the window, and looked north, she saw that six or seven miles to the north, a little west, a huge stone statue had been built. Although it is not finished, it already has a general outline.

In the past, the Yinghua Hall where Concubine Lu lived was in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, and the view was just blocked by the palace wall.

"Why did you suddenly have such a tall stone statue, and who did this erect?"

Twilight replied: "This is the jade statue that the Son erected for his mother to the Holy Empress today, for all the people to worship and worship. ”

When Concubine Lu heard this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood on the spot.

Clenching her fists tightly, after taking many deep breaths, Concubine Yan forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked coldly: "How about the emperor to give the palace and the crown prince to the emperor?" ”

Twilight Yu shook his head: "The saint said at the beginning, your family will go to live in Fengyang Palace, be prosperous and rich, and spend your life in peace, everyone will not disturb each other, and forget about each other."

None of you will accept it, and we can't help it. You always want us to give up the throne, how can you let it, let our family still have a way to live?

The Holy One has done his best, what do you do? It was Gong who made the emperor himself have to fight that defeat and became a prisoner.

It's not that we let him lose the battle, why should we use the lives of our family to bear the consequences for him. ”

Ruan Xi saw that the imperial concubine was emotional, and hurriedly persuaded: "The two mothers are pregnant, it is not appropriate to stay in this kind of place for a long time, and leave the rest to the slaves and maids." ”

Twilight Yu nodded: "Completely close the Yingtai and tell the palace people that if there is any news to pass out, there is no need to interrogate, and all the palace people will be killed." ”

Several big eunuchs shrank their heads in fright, and each imperial concubine had a different style of acting. The two ladies in front of her are quite tough, and the style of the five tender ladies in the Lingyu Palace is very different.

After dealing with the concubine, it is time to wait quietly for the New Year.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Jingtai.

New year, new atmosphere, finally survived a lot of troubles for three years of Jingtai.

Early in the morning, Zhu Qiyu got up and took the five favorite concubines to Changle Palace to pay New Year's greetings to Concubine Wu.

Of Zhu Qiyu's fifteen women, four of them ran the property of the Qi Wangfu in Shandong and did not return to Beijing. The five of Lingyu Palace are tired of being together every day, but there is a contraceptive technique.

The remaining six are already pregnant again.

The eldest son, Zhu Wenfang, is already three years old, and is actually nine months old a year. Not only can you walk, you can talk, you can even kowtow.

Concubine Wu looked at the kneeling at her feet, happy and worried.

The joy is that the harem is harmonious and the people are prosperous.

The worry is that the population is growing a little too fast. The last batch of nine sons and three daughters haven't been raised yet, and they are pregnant with six more.

Finally, Concubine Wu still persuaded Zhu Qiyu: "Son, is it necessary to give birth to so much, should you restrain yourself?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Mother, you don't know, our Ming Frontier, there are too many places that need to be guarded by the prince.

Nine sons look like a lot, and if they are really sealed, they are not enough at all.

Besides, if we want our family's throne to be as stable as Mount Tai, we must have twenty or thirty princes to defend the world, so that the young people can no longer covet it. ”

Concubine Wu had to nod: "Okay, I don't understand state affairs, you can watch it." ”

Zhu Qiyu and the others stood up, and the favorite concubines wanted to take Zhu Wenfang to kneel for Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "No need, no need, just have it in your heart." Some are pregnant, and some are too young to worship. ”

Then it will be Zhu Wenfang's turn to kowtow to the eleven favorite concubines in turn.

Zhu Qiyu turned his head, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, all he could do for Brother Fang was to avoid him kowtowing to himself.

After worshipping the New Year and eating dumplings together, Zhu Qiyu came to the Qingyuntai Hall of Ganquan Palace to hold a Zhengdan Dynasty meeting.

In the past, the Zhengdan Dynasty was held in the Forbidden City. This time, Zhu Qiyu very forcefully moved the court meeting to his doorstep.

According to the usual practice, civil officials of the fifth rank and above, military generals of the third rank and above, as well as nobles and vassal kings in Beijing are eligible to participate.

But this court meeting is not mandatory, if you want to come, you can come, and if you don't want to come, you will pull down.

To Zhu Qiyu's surprise, there was a large area of Wuyang at this court meeting, and there were more than 200 people.

Fortunately, Qingyun Hall is not too big, but more than 200 people can still afford it.

When Zhu Qiyu sat on the jade throne in a blue plain robe, the hundred officials began to kneel down to congratulate.

Zhu Qiyu felt very bored and hypocritical, but he still barely coped.

After the ministers finished worshipping, they looked up at the emperor, and they were all speechless in their hearts. This Emperor Jingtai is ridiculous, he never wears imperial clothes, there is never a dragon on his clothes, and there are never complicated patterns.

It is also a jade chair and a jade case, without any bright brilliance.

Zhu Qiyu didn't talk nonsense at all, and went straight to the point: "The first item, the official position has been changed slightly. The cabinet scholars are officially recognized as the ninth class, in order: Fengtian Palace, Huagai Palace, Jinshen Palace, Wenhua Palace, Wuying Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, East Pavilion, Chunfang, and Hanlin.

Now the minister, let me rearrange it for you. The secretary of the criminal department and the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Court Wang Wen is a scholar of the Huagai Palace and the first assistant of the cabinet.

Wei Ji, the secretary of the household department, is a scholar of the palace and a deputy assistant to the cabinet.

Wang Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was a scholar of the Imperial Palace, and was crowned the Duke of Yasukuni, responsible for the conquest of the southern countries.

After that, He Wenyuan, Luo Tong, Zhou Chen, Shen Yi, and Xu Youzhen were scholars of Wuyingdian University. “
