Zhu Qiyu had already thought about the specific process, which minister dared to question the emperor again, let him kneel at his feet, and then brought a whole box of gold coins, grabbed a handful, and threw it in his face.

Japan's Ryogari gold mine, with reserves of more than 200 tons, can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and you can dig as much as you want in the future.

It feels so good to have a mine at home.

Zhu Qiyu was neatly dressed and came to Qingyun Hall with a spring breeze. The crown prince and his ministers have been waiting here for a long time.

As soon as he took Zhu Wenfang to sit on the dragon chair, Zhu Qiyu felt that today's ministers' worship was particularly enthusiastic.

Originally, the small court would not have to kneel, but the ministers still insisted on kneeling down and shouted long live.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Zhong Aiqing was exempted, defeated Japan, avenged the Ming envoy, and completed the feats that Kublai Khan did not do, which is the common merit of our monarchs and ministers."

After two years of fighting, I have long been tired, and it is difficult for the Aiqing to persist with me for so long.

Fortunately, all this is over, and the next step is to open mines, mint coins, sell grain, and make money. ”

When everyone heard this, they shouted long live.

At this time, the ministers were not as obsessed with personal interests as they were in the late Ming Dynasty, to the extent that they didn't care about the survival of the imperial court.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers opposed the opening of sea trade and going to the Western Ocean, mainly because the cost of forming a fleet was all paid by the imperial court, and the money made by going to the Western Ocean was all owned by the emperor.

It's no good to just work, and it's strange if the ministers are happy.

Now it's different, the wealth of the Japanese magnates and monks is all collected and returned to the imperial court; All the minerals obtained belong to the imperial court; The income from the sale of grain, and the future income from the trade of silk and tea, will also go to the imperial court.

It is equivalent to that all the proceeds of the war go to the imperial court, and the emperor does not share it at all.

If there is any more opposition to this, then he will not look like Zhongliang at all.

Zhu Qiyu was afraid that the ministers would drift away, so he instructed again: "There is still a battle in the south, we must destroy Majapahit, take back the old port, and completely open up the route to the Western Ocean."

Try to end the war next year, so that the war in the south will be completely over, and in the end, Jingtai will not continue to expand southward. ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but want to laugh in their hearts, isn't this nonsense, as far as everyone knows, Majapahit is the southernmost place. After conquering Majapahit, of course, there was no need to continue to expand southward.

The south wants to have a war unless the emperor wants to attack the place where the Buddha he has in mind: Tianzhu.

Zhu Qiyu's plan was to defeat Majapahit and take the terra dullius Taiwan and Luzon by the way, and then the war in the south would end, and the arable land on those peninsulas and islands would be well managed.

If these cultivated lands are well managed, the ability of the entire Ming Dynasty to resist natural disasters will be greatly enhanced.

Every year, more than half of the provinces will have a good harvest, even in the so-called Xiaoice period, they can carry it.

When Zhu Qiyu was thinking about the east and west, Wang Yining, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked inopportunely: "Saint, I heard that the king of Yuanjia County has returned to Nanjing and re-lived in Xiaoling, I don't know how to deal with it in the future?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads and ears below.

This historical problem seems to be extremely difficult to deal with. Everyone was also curious about how the emperor regarded Zhu Qizhen's father and son in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand without thinking: "My brother's fault is that he was deceived by Shanxi officials, and he attacked the enemy lightly, so that he was defeated in Tumubao, lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and almost overthrew Sheji.

One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, one wrong step, one wrong step.

At that time, the important ministers in Beijing were also guilty. There is also the elder brother before the government, the auxiliary government of Sanyang, is the biggest traitor to the country.

As for the other things my brother did, they were all excusable, and I didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so be it.

In the future, let his brother eat and drink well and live in Xiaoling, and King Yi will be born in Changsha to be his prince. ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. No one could have imagined that the emperor had such an attitude, which was tantamount to laughing and hating, except for the fault of the defeat of Tumubao, the rest was not investigated.

Now he pays attention to brothers, friends and brothers, and he is more affectionate than anyone else.

Moreover, the defeat of Tumubao also had to be jointly borne by Zhu Qizhen and the important ministers at that time.

The crowd did not stand up for those important ministers.

Now standing in the Qingyun Palace, all of them are rising stars promoted by Emperor Jingtai. Those important ministers who needed to be responsible for the defeat of Tumubao had long since died, retreated, and had no political influence in the DPRK.

In line with the principle that friends of the dead will not die and the poor will not die, no one is willing to raise the bar with the emperor whose prestige is in the sky for them.

Zhu Qiyu added: "More than three months later, on the day of the Zhengdan Dynasty, the "Yuan Hunt Record" was released, which was the final conclusion for the official coffin of the Yuan Hunt Dynasty.

Also, the records of the Yongle, Xuande, and Hongxi dynasties, and the part about Sanyang, should also be revised. I'd like to let you know first. ”

The old forces of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen have been eradicated, and it is finally time to revise the history books.

Zhu Qiyu dares to mention this now, and he is naturally sure that he will be able to pass without resistance.

Sure enough, the ministers just glanced at each other and expressed their agreement.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Let me remind you again, Warat and Tatar are very likely to start a war with my Ming Dynasty again."

It's not that I want to cause trouble this time, it's that they take the initiative to fight.

When it comes to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, you should be prepared in advance. ”

Luo Tong replied: "Holy Lord, I heard that the Tara of Warat and the Tatar Tokhtar are not going to fight among themselves? ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "The two of them, each of them has to have fifty or sixty thousand elites, so they all feel that they can do it again."

After being the Great Khan of Warat and the Great Khan of Tatar, I still felt that it was not enough, and I still wanted to unify Mongolia and revive the Great Yuan, and I dreamed the same dream as Yexian. ”

Luo Tong said with a smile: "Then should we give them a praying mantis to catch cicadas, yellow finches behind, sandpiper clam to fight, and fishermen to profit?" ”

"Then there is no need, their names of the Great Khan of Warat and the Great Khan of Tatar are still canonized by me personally. I also agreed to let them manage Varat and Tartary, respectively.

I can't break my word and lose my word, as long as they don't disturb the Ming Dynasty, I won't take the initiative to attack. ”

If you can't take the initiative, then do a good job of defense.

Between the monarchs and ministers, they went through all the affairs from now to the end of the year before they dispersed.

When the ministers left, Zhu Qiyu pulled Zhu Wenfang and instructed: "In the future, the process of handling the manuscript will be the cabinet vote first, and then the scholar in the Feng Pavilion will approve it with a blue pen next to the vote according to our opinions.

Then the book was sent to the celebrant eunuch, and the eunuch with the palm print and the eunuch with the pen then approved the red seal according to our final opinion.

The people of the Zhongshu House are not only my auxiliary ministers, but also the subordinate officials of the East Palace. This is a set of people and horses, two brands.

In the future, we took turns directing the Chinese scholars to review the recitals.

The eunuchs, the ministers, and the scholars check and balance each other, and our father and son are in the middle.

Times are changing, and so are we.

From now on, there will be fewer wars, and we should hide behind the scenes to control the situation. ”
