Zhu Qiyu has already calculated, he is thirty years old this year, and he will have ten or eight more sons, and he will follow fate.

Taizu gave birth to twenty-six sons, and Zhu Qiyu felt that he was about the same as Taizu, and there was no need to raise the bar with Zhu Zhongyi and Zhu Qizhen, the two generations of Qingcheng kings of the Jin Dynasty.

Zhu Zhongyi, "Records of Ming Xiaozong", clearly wrote that there are forty-four sons, and there is no specific number of daughters, but there are also about fifty.

The number of children of Zhu Qizhen, the king of Qingcheng in the next generation, is said to have surpassed that of his father Zhu Zhongyi.

Zhu Qiyu gave up challenging Zhu Zhongyi and Zhu Qizhen's father and son, and if he continues to regenerate, his beloved concubines can't stand it, and the ministers are almost at the limit of psychological tolerance, and their own treasury can't support so many children to settle down in the future.

In fact, the ministers are already desperate for the return of the throne to the right line, unless Zhu Qiyu's son is dead. The problem is that it is too difficult to let the existing dozen or so princes die.

While thinking about the future, Zhu Qiyu happily finished breakfast, and then dressed neatly and came to Qingyun Pavilion to govern leisurely.

Today there is one more person than usual, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Wenfang, father and son, Pei Dang and Ruan Zhu, two great eunuchs in power, He Yi, Gao Yao, and Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng, who is only nineteen years old, as a new science and technology exploration flower, as the first Jingtai Zhongliang who is the first to ask for easy storage, naturally wants to focus on cultivation.

Zhu Qiyu took the lead in asking: "Have Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, and Ma Wensheng returned to Beijing?" ”

Gao Yao replied: "No, calculate the time, it will take three or five days for them all to arrive in Beijing." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "When they return to Jingshi, they will immediately arrange for them to come to see me." ”

The first batch of Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai has been trained for seven years. Zhu Qiyu is ready to fully install his protégé of the Son of Heaven into an important position.

Although the previous dynasty also left a lot of capable ministers, in the end, it was the Jinshi of the Jingtai Dynasty who were more emotionally close.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "When will Cao Guogong arrive in Beijing?" ”

Gao Yao replied: "According to the distance, there are still about ten days. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, his cronies, nobles, and military generals, who have not been very busy recently, have to be recalled to the capital to report on their work.

Zhu Wenfang asked curiously: "Father, these are all Wenchen generals on the northern border, are they going to fight with Tatar and Warat again?" ”

Zhu Qiyu explained: "I don't want to go to war, but the situation has changed, and war will break out at any time.

Don't look at our current national strength is recovering rapidly, but Meng Yuan's remnants are not easy to fight.

Relatively speaking, they are much more difficult to fight than Japan and Annan. They are mainly cavalry and can run away at any time.

The grasslands and deserts are so big, it's hard to surround them.

This is also the fundamental reason why Taizu and Taizong were unable to completely eliminate Meng Yuan.

Even in the most successful Han Dynasty, when Wei Qing and Huo Qu were ill, they could win the battle. As soon as the two died, the Han army also suffered various defeats.

The problem in front of our father and son is to explore a strategy to completely eliminate Meng Yuan.

If we can complete the unfinished business of Taizu and Taizong, then our credit will be great. ”

When Zhu Wenfang heard this, she really thought about it.

Zhu Qiyu asked Gao Yao: "Ting Jian, you and I have not been short for time, I will arrange two more positions for you."

You are appointed as the right Chunfang right Zhongyun, and the Ministry of Literature and Selection, and now you are still holding these ministries. ”

With such a promotion and reuse, can Gao Yao still have an opinion, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

Right Chunfang Right Zhongyun, is the sixth product, which means that he has officially become a subordinate official of the East Palace.

There are a total of 24 positions in the Zhan Mansion of the sixth rank and above. Even if Nanjing and Beijing each arranged a set of subordinate officials of the Zhan Mansion, the total would only be 48 positions.

This is a radish and a pit, each radish is a genuine prince and close minister, as long as you can occupy a pit, it means that the future is bright and ambitious, and there is a stable guarantee.

The Ministry of Officials is the fifth grade, and it involves the selection and appointment of hundreds of officials, which is an extremely critical position.

Zhu Qiyu's move, in addition to cultivating Gao Yao, is also consolidating the team for Zhu Wenfang and enhancing his influence.

After promoting Gao Yao, Zhu Qiyu asked He Yi again: "Xingyi, I want to change the current Shuntian Mansion Yin, Mansion Cheng, and Zhizhong, do you have any good candidates to recommend?" ”

He Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Good guy, the top three chief officers of Shuntian Mansion will be replaced in one go.

"Do you have an approximate range of people you want to choose from?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "The Jinshi of Jingtai Dynasty are not qualified enough, so choose from the Jinshi of the same class as you." ”

Because Zhu Qizhen didn't have time to cultivate his last Jinshi, he encountered the change of Tumubao, so Zhu Qiyu was relatively relieved about this year's Jinshi, and many of them were reused.

Hearing that he was going to choose the same Jinshi, He Yi hesitated, looking like he didn't dare to say it.

Zhu Qiyu knew what he meant, and encouraged with a smile: "Don't avoid relatives inside, and don't avoid revenge when you move outside." Whether it is a fellow villager or a friend, you can recommend it with confidence.

In the thirteenth year of Yuanzhen, there were a total of one hundred and fifty jinshi, this one should be avoided, that one should also be avoided, so how can I recommend it. ”

He Yi replied at this time: "Chen Jun, the Guangxi Qing official of the household department, is honest and upright, not afraid of the powerful, and extremely capable, and can be worthy of the role of the government Yin."

Nanjing Criminal Department Langzhong Huang Fu, upright, honest, cherishing the people, can be appointed as a minister.

Qiao Yi is in the matter, acting squarely, thinking quickly, and can be in charge. ”

He Yi also wanted to say a few alternatives, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Just the three of them, there have been a lot of changes in the Beijing division recently, let them try it first."

The results are done, and you will only know if you have tried it. ”

Now that the appointments are over, it's time for the sea.

He Yi summarized the news: "First of all, the coast of Japan, all of which are under the control of the Ming Navy, except for officially licensed ships, no other ships can enter or leave the ports of Japan.

Second, Jeju Island has gradually become a transit port, and a small number of merchant ships in the south have transited through the island to trade with North Korea.

Shandong's maritime merchants went directly east, to Seoul in Korea.

In addition, we have been stationing naval vessels in the Ryukyus, which used to be a transit point for Oriental trade, and have been affected a lot in the past two years.

From the king to the magnates to the common people, they were quite dissatisfied.

After a long time, I am afraid that there will be turmoil. ”

Zhu Qiyu tilted his back, there are really a lot of things, after capturing Japan and Majapahit, he had to completely control the first island chain with the sailors, and only then could he initially complete the task of passing through the ocean.

"I just confirmed that Ryukyu is a country not to be conquered, and now I am going to capture Ryukyu, is it a bit of a slap in the face? And Xiaoliuqiu, this is also very important.

The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang has been in office for so long, how can he not mention the plan to occupy Xiaoliuqiu. ”
