Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97

It was not until evening that Zhu Qiyu dragged his exhausted body back home.

After bathing and laying down on the bed, Zhu Qiyu pulled his little princess over and said, "Come here, I have four things for you to do."

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "This is the first time my husband has ordered four things in one go. Are there many things recently?"

"Yeah, when the mission we sent out arrives at the Wara camp, they should have broken through the Great Wall again and entered Shanxi. So we will arrive soon, and we should get busy."

"Then ask your husband to order."

"The first thing is, the tribute missions of Korea and Ryukyu are in the capital right now. You and your concubine have a family banquet, bring the crown prince, and invite them for me.

One is to invite them to go up to the city tower and watch the battle of defending the capital, so that they can go back and promote the power of our Ming Dynasty, and restore the image of our Ming Dynasty as a kingdom of heaven that was lost because of the civil fort.

The other is, I'm going to do business with them in the future.There is too much resistance to sailing to the Western Seas, and various people object to sailing to the South Seas.So I'm going to start with the Toyo.Especially the Ryukyu country is very important. I want to make it a transit point for trade with North Korea and Japan. "

"Then what are you talking about?"

"At the beginning, don't scare them. The Ryukyu country basically has no farmland, and they can't even be self-sufficient in rations, and there are frequent famines. So we first think that they provide food security as a breakthrough, establish a trade base in Ryukyu, and then slowly increase the size.

In short, it is to establish a relationship first, build mutual trust, and take things slowly in the future. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "Okay, I understand, what about the second thing?"

"I arranged for the descendants of Zheng Guogong, Cao Guogong, Song Guogong, and Wei Guogong to go to Beijing to watch the battle. The four of them have no property in Beijing except Jue. You can arrange for them to be housed in another courtyard, and then arrange them with the mother concubine and the prince. Please invite them together.

These are the descendants of the founding heroes Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, and Deng Yu. If they are willing to take the initiative to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, I intend to restore their duke status.

But you don't have to expressly hint to them, whoever is willing to serve the country spontaneously, I will restore the title to him.If they don't take the initiative, then there is nothing I can do to help.

In addition, the King of Jin offered to go to Beijing to congratulate him, and King Ninghua of Jin Fan asked to take his six sons to Beijing to kill the enemy.I agree, the name is to let them go to Beijing to watch the battle on behalf of the vassal, and then after the war, they will tell the other vassals about the process of defending the capital.

You also invited them together with your mother and concubine. The vassal kings of Ming Dynasty refused to accept me. I also don't understand why King Jin asked to go to Beijing to congratulate him. If you have a chance, you can find out his details for me. "

Lin Xiangyu was speechless again and again when she heard this.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"It's nothing, it's just Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, and Deng Yu. Those are the second, third, and fourth place in the Temple of Great Ming Heroes. They are the big figures in the sky. I didn't expect that there would be a day when the slave family was qualified to entertain their descendants. people."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It's far more than that. As long as people are a little bit more knowledgeable, they will rush to curry favor with you for the benefit of their own family. How about it, is this princess enjoyable?"

Lin Xiangyu complained when she heard the words: "My husband is good or bad, I just dig a hole for my family. It's a pity that my family is not fooled. No matter how proud I am, my family will never put on airs after such a hero. My family advises you, please don't play tricks. , let’s talk about the third thing obediently.”

"Hmph, you're such a little girl, it's really not easy to fool around. Forget it, in two or three days, Marquis Xing'an will return to Beijing with the elite frontier army from Shaanxi. You send someone to his mansion, next time invitation.

I, you, mother concubine, prince, and princess will entertain him together.Now in Xungui in the north, there is only this veteran Xungui who can fight, and the others who can fight have died in Tumubao.

So it doesn't matter if the other nobles refuse to accept me, but I must get Marquis Xing'an. "

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu immediately added and emphasized: "At all costs, if you are in a hurry, I will not hesitate to be the Duke of the country. Without a strong nobleman to carry the beam for me, I will be very passive in the future."

"Got it, what about the fourth thing?"

"The Ministry of War transferred the ordnance from the Nanjing arsenal to Beijing, and among the people in charge of transporting it, there was a Nanjing internal official, Feng Yu Ruan Xi.

If he comes to our house and I'm not here, you have to entertain him well.He is my confidant eunuch, and he is only in his early thirties. I take him as a key training object, and I plan to let him be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the inner school for me in the future. "

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "It turns out that my husband really has a confidant eunuch."

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, as the saying goes, a mouse has three friends. What's more, my dignified prince still has three or two big cats and kittens under his command."

"What other trusted eunuchs does your husband have?"

Zhu Qiyu replied with a smile: "Let me tell you something, in the Zhengtong Dynasty, in the inner court of the Ming Dynasty, there were three most powerful eunuchs: Wang Zhen, Fan Hong, and Jin Ying.

These three have countless descendants, and most of the prominent eunuchs in the palace belong to the three.These three people are also the emperor's hard-core confidantes, and they firmly control the inner court.

It's a pity that both Wang Zhen and Fan Hong died in Tumubao, and the Supreme Emperor lost his throne again, so the power structure of the inner court has to be reshuffled.

If Wang Zhen, Fan Hong, and Jin Ying are the first echelon, Xing'an, Shang Yi, Chen Xiang, Wang Jin and others behind each form factions and form the second echelon.

Among them, Wang Jin's family is our people.Ruan Xi and Hao Yi are both outstanding people under Wang Jin's name. Hao Yi is now the eunuch who is the admiral of the horse supervisor. I will promote him to be the seal of the horse supervisor in a short time, and he will also be the admiral of the West Factory for me in the future. "

Lin Xiangyu praised after hearing the words: "This is also very powerful, my husband can really control the Yumajian."

"Well, all the people in the cabinet today have been put on a thief boat by me. Give me another three years, and I will be able to build a complete ruling team.

Then when the time comes, welcome the Supreme Emperor back and let him give me the Zen seat.In this way, from a legal point of view, I am no longer a subject of the Supreme Emperor. From now on, we will not care about monarchs and ministers, but only about brotherhood.

The Supreme Emperor suffered from the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, and his health has not been good since he came back. If he can't get sick after a few years, Long Yu will be the guest.

At that time, we adopted the crown prince, and the transfer of the imperial line was officially completed from then on.It's the most peaceful way I can think of. "

"Okay, I know, I promise to do all four things my husband ordered properly, so I don't need my husband to worry about it."
