668 Reorganization of the Cabinet's monopoly power and support for Kamakura
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Everything has to be judged, so what do you want these ministers to do." Let me choose, I am happy if I am chosen, but if I am not chosen, I will not complain about me in my heart. Give me all this work of offending people for no reason. ”
Su Xi ignored His Majesty's complaints and handed over the notebook.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I don't look at it, Yao Kui, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, is promoted to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department; Zhou Xuan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was promoted to the left attendant of the Criminal Department; The left attendant of the household department, Geng Jiuchou, was promoted to the secretary of the household department.
All three of them entered the cabinet and were scholars of the East Pavilion University. This session of the examination and the palace examination were presided over by Yao Kui and Geng Jiuchou.
In addition, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Rong, was promoted to the head of the household department, and the governor of the warehouse field.
That's it, with Wei Ji, Xue Xuan Zhishi, Yao Kui, Zhou Xuan, Xiao Di, and Geng Jiuchou ascending to the throne, the cabinet ministers and monks are a lot younger. ”
Su Xi asked, "In this way, will the important ministers of the Orthodox Dynasty be completely purged?" Did the husband get the result from the beginning? ”
Zhu Qiyu generously admitted: "There are no factions in the DPRK and China, there are all kinds of strange things, these ministers are harmonious on the surface, but in fact there are factions."
Even if there are no factions, there are political differences. For example, the two who left, Wei Ji and Xue Xuan are the hardcore Cheng Zhu Li School.
They didn't get along with me politically, and they couldn't do anything about me, so they all ran away.
This is a good minister, at least he didn't think about killing me and changing the emperor.
The remaining ministers have either not been used in the right way, or have already pledged their allegiance to me.
From now on, the cabinet and the six books will no longer be able to form any resistance to me.
When I take down Japan and get back the income of five million taels of silver a year, my prestige is unimaginably high.
At that time, I can send Zhu Qizhen to die, and then let the crown prince abdicate, so as to completely cut off the thoughts of the subjects of the world and force them to look forward. ”
Lin Xiangyu asked: "When Taizong seized Jianwen's country, and then collected the hearts of the world's subjects, was it as difficult as Fujun?" ”
Hearing this question, Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Taizong is much more difficult than me, it is really so easy, why did he move the capital to Beijing in a hurry."
Then he fought Tatar, attacked Annam, went to the West, and cultivated the Yongle Grand Canon, bent on making eternal achievements, wasn't it to establish his legitimacy?
In some things, he was more than me, even canceled the Jianwen era name, and enclosed Jianwen's children and grandchildren in the Fengyang high wall.
I at least let Zhu Jianshen take care of it, and I didn't have murderous intent from beginning to end. As an emperor, I am warm enough, but they just refuse to be satisfied.
If the Emperor of the Wise Shenwu Xuanmiao was in my position and had killed their family cleanly, how could they be as verbose as me. ”
Asa Xue asked, "If you take Japan, you will kill Yiwang?" ”
Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly: "I can only keep him alive here, and I can't control the situation later."
Even if I don't say anything or do anything, the people below will do it themselves.
Killing King Yi, abolishing the crown prince, and appointing Zhu Wenfang as the prince to completely consolidate vested interests is the unanimous appeal of my cronies.
If it continues to be consumed, no one can agree. ”
Qianxue smiled: "Speaking of doing it yourself, my husband will take a look at this script." ”
Zhu Qiyu took it and looked at it, and laughed: "These masters in Shandong are really interesting, the more they play, the more they get better, they actually want to assign Jeju Island in North Korea to Shandong, as an enclave in Shandong and an overseas military port for sailors."
It's really whimsical, they are a little deep into the play, and they want to pull everything to Shandong. ”
Asa Xue asked, "Then reprimanded them in your reply?" ”
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Agreed, quasi, give them the word 'quasi'." ”
Qianxue was very confused when she heard this: "Then the slave family doesn't understand, the husband just said that they are whimsical, why do they have to play as soon as the voice falls?" ”
"It's called the dog-tooth system, and when we conquer North Korea, we have to divide up its territory so that the rule can be more stable.
For example, the DPRK was divided into two provinces, the south and the north; Then Jeju Island was assigned to Shandong, a permanent military port was built, and a large army was sent to garrison it for a long time.
In this way, the military deterrent capability is enhanced, and the difficulty of the North Koreans to rebel is greatly increased.
After conquering Japan, I also assigned Tsushima Island to Shandong, and then cut off the trade routes between Korea and Japan from the sea, and firmly controlled their lifeline.
I'll lay out the game, and let our children and grandchildren slowly lose. As long as there is no more dog stuff like Sanyang, it will not be defeated for a while and a half, how can Daming last for more than 300 years.
I, the Shizu Emperor, can be regarded as worthy of them. ”
Qianxue nodded: "It turns out that there are still these doorways, if the husband doesn't teach it, let Brother Fang understand it himself, when will he be able to understand all these messy statecraft." ”
"That's why I asked you to assist me in handling military and political affairs, if I suddenly go to the west, you can assist Zhu Wenfang until he reaches adulthood, and slowly teach him these truths that I usually say.
I don't put all my hopes on the minister, if there is another Huo Guang, it will be troublesome. ”
"Oh, I see, so we get it. So is Jeju Island a state or a government? ”
Zhu Qiyu replied: "Jeju Mansion, that island is quite big, and the east and west are almost 150 miles long, so it's not a big problem to set up a mansion."
Later, the Jeju government was used as a trade transit point to provide supplies and services for passing merchant ships, and the imperial court collected a fee from it, which was also a large profit. It can also patrol and crack down on smuggling. ”
The next day, the emperor's edict was transmitted to the cabinet, and Yao Kui, Zhou Xuan, Xiao Xuan, and Geng Jiuchou officially entered the core of power in the Ming Dynasty.
Yao Kui and Geng Jiuchou presided over the meeting examination and the palace examination, and this Enke can go on smoothly again.
Seoul, South Korea.
Jiang Yuan, Xu Heng, Xu Yongning, Fan Guang, Fang Ying, Quan Wei, Han Minghun , Huang Qi and others, like Shandong's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, are also making final strategic arrangements.
The pro-army of the Son of Heaven brought by Xu Heng and the new army of Nuer Gandu Si led by Fan Guang could not fight in water, let alone participate in naval battles.
Therefore, some of these troops were stationed in Seoul, Kaesong and other places, and some were stationed in Busan to prevent the Japanese army from landing and raiding.
The attack on Tsushima was carried out by the Korean naval division, which had already assembled in Pusan, and was confident of defeating the Japanese naval division.
However, Xu Heng suddenly made a difficult request for a strong man: "There is an order from the saint, in addition to attacking Tsushima Island, we also need to send a batch of strategic materials to the Ashikaga Nari clan of the Kamakura shogunate. ”
Quan Wei and Han Minghun who were originally happy were stunned: "What, send supplies to the Ashikaga Cheng clan?" Do we know him well? ”
Xu Heng shook his head: "We have not been in contact with the Ashikaga Nari clan, and the same is true in Beijing. But this batch of materials, even if it is a hard plug, must be stuffed into the hands of the Ashikaga Nari clan.
We must support him, and if he is soon defeated by the Muromachi shogunate and the Kanto governor, we will be in trouble. We need a Japan that is divided and infighting, and we must not allow them to form a joint force. ”
