"Li Xian, give me an explanation!"
Li Xian's body became weak and he muttered: "Your Majesty..."
"Stop talking, Li Jie, hit him!"
Snapped!
Li Jie slapped him hard across the face.
Li Xian's mouth was bleeding.
"Give him the wooden stick and beat him with the wooden stick!" Zhu Qiyu asked the eunuch to hand the wooden stick to Li Jie.
This wooden stick can kill a person in three blows. If Li Jie used it to hit Li Xian in the mouth, he would probably be beaten to death in one hit.
Fengtian Palace was attacked and the son killed his father. Li Jie's filial piety could be spread to Java.
"Your Majesty, my father is not in good health. Please give me a beating!" Li Jie knelt on the ground.
"A son has taken the responsibility for his father, and his filial piety is commendable!"
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Li Xian, come and fight!"
Li Xian only has two sons!
If this stick goes down, there will be no one left.
The emperor will definitely let his second son Li Zhang kneel here and let him continue to fight!
Beat him until he has no descendants.
It was obvious that the emperor wanted to kill him.
He looked at Hu Hui and Yu Qian, please help me!
"Hit me, your son is filial, why don't you fulfill him?"
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "If you can't bear it, just give the wooden stick to Li Jie and let Li Jie take care of you!"
He is forcing Li Xian to come out and bite Hu Hui and Yu Qian.
Can you bite?
After killing Yu Qian, who can check and balance the imperial power in the future?
With life and death before his eyes, Li Xian glanced at Yu Qian fiercely: "Your Majesty, the old master is proficient in medical skills. He has told the old minister in private many times about the Taibao's illness."
"It is said that Taibao's blood flow was reversed and he fell into a coma. Taibao seemed to have recovered, but in fact his face was as white as a piece of paper and he was extremely weak."
"Your Majesty loves Taibao and asks the imperial doctor to treat him. The ministers speculate on Tian's heart."
"I am willing to guarantee your majesty's purity with my life!"
The veteran chose life!
Li Xian has something, and he is always on the verge of committing suicide.
Do you think you are so lucky every time?
Seeing Li Xian's betrayal, Hu Hui was speechless.
Li Xian, Li Xian, you dragged me into the water, but now you push me into the water, you are really awesome.
"Mr. Li Ge, are you so familiar with this official?"
Hu Xi sneered: "You, an outsider, are making random guesses about Taibao's body. What do you want to do?"
"Old Master, Your Majesty cares about the Taibao, so why not ask the imperial doctor to take care of the Taibao's health?" Li Xian took the risk.
Seeing civil servants biting dogs, Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Okay, stop fighting!"
"Imperial doctor, check the eunuch's body carefully. If something goes wrong, I will kill him without mercy!"
"And you, Li Xian, are inconsistent with your appearance! You talk confusingly, what kind of cabinet minister do you think you are?"
"Old Master, what do you think should be done with him?"
Zhu Qiyu kicked the ball to Hu Xi.
Li Xian was completely dumbfounded. He had obviously taken sides. Why did the emperor still want to capture him?
Hu Ming said what the emperor meant.
The emperor could clearly use Li Xian as a sword to confuse the courtiers and make the courtiers bite dogs, but the emperor chose to capture Li Xian. What was he going to do?
Cleaning up the court?
"Your Majesty, I think that Li Xian colluded with Shanxi merchants and prevented the princes from reorganizing the capital. This is a heinous crime. Please order Li Xian to resign and return to his hometown!"
The Fengtian Hall was filled with air conditioning.
Hu Xi is so ruthless that he killed a cabinet minister with just one move.
"Is Li Xian the only one who hooked up with Shanxi merchants?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Lin Cong, Wang Wen, Wang Zhi, don't you all have a share?"
"How many of you in the palace have just returned from the Northern Expedition!"
"Aren't the merchants who are causing trouble in Xuanzang all Shanxi merchants?"
"Is Li Xian the only master of Shanxi merchants?"
"Who else? Stand up for yourself!"
The people in the Fengtian Palace were shocked. The emperor thought that the senior officials of the cabinet department were an eyesore.
It's really disrespectful to ask him to be the troll every time.
However, an important minister in the cabinet euphemistically calls his dog, and every time someone helps him to criticize others, he is useless except for pretending to be dead.
Why keep such a courtier?
Wang Wen began to tremble. The day before yesterday, Lu Gao came back from a thousand miles away and brought his son Wang Lun into the capital. As soon as they met him, he was taken into the palace as a guard.
As the emperor's loyal supporter, Wang Wen has a very low sense of presence. Every time the emperor is in danger, he pretends to be dead.
The emperor was dissatisfied.
He needs to be operated on.
Lin Cong was even more frightened. The emperor kept him because he had not cultivated his hardcore skills. In addition, he was sensible and obedient. In the end, the emperor felt that he was useless and did not want to keep him.
"I will give you one last chance to come forward!"
Wang Wen, Lin Cong, and Xue Xuan all climbed out on their own initiative.
"It turns out everyone has a share!"
"Your Majesty, it was Li Xian who dragged this old minister into trouble!" Wang Wenpan bit Li Xian.
Zhu Qiyu looked at these people and felt disgusted.
Looking at Ye Sheng, Bai Gui, Geng Jiuchou and others, who can join the cabinet?
There is a group of moths in the cabinet. They are nothing more than moths, but the hair is of no use.
kill?
"enough!"
“How long does it take for dog to bite dog?”
"I give you the power to help me handle the world's government affairs, not to let you dog bite dog!"
"That's it!"
"I'm really tired. I don't want to kill anyone anymore today!"
"The decree was passed, Li Xian was governor of Liaodong, Wang Wen was governor of Yunnan, Lin Cong was governor of Shandong, Xiao Tan was governor of Nanzhili, and Xue Xuan was appointed as the chief envoy to Guangxi."
"Ren Yu Qian as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Feng, Yu Shan, Ye Sheng, and Lu Yuan will be transferred to the cabinet."
"Adjust Jianghou Chen Yu, Anyuanhou Liu Pu, Ning Yuanbo Ren Li, and Mao Zhong return to the capital!"
So the footnote is here!
The emperor wanted to separate military power from Yu Qian.
In such a big circle, one is to clean up the cabinet, and the other is to prevent Yu Qian from taking over the military power.
Hu Xi looked deeply at the emperor, this move was wonderful.
Can the chief minister of the cabinet compare with the Minister of War?
When the emperor completely reorganizes the capital camp, Yu Qian's influence will be weakened to the minimum. By then, no matter how the emperor wants to manipulate Yu Qian, Yu Qian will have to be obedient.
So what if it turns black?
I am the emperor!
Li Xian and others kowtowed to the emperor desperately. This was not punishment, it was a reward!
There is so much danger in this court, it would be best to leave!
But at this time, a eunuch reported that Fan Guang was requesting an audience at the palace gate.
Soon, Fan Guang entered the palace, kowtowed and saluted, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, Tuanying and Beijing Camp are facing a confrontation. Please solve the problem!"
"Confrontation? Why do the Beijing camps have to confront each other?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, the brothers in Jingying are unwilling to hand over their weapons. Both sides may accidentally misfire at any time."
No wonder Yu Qian is not in a hurry.
Jingying has been run by Yu Qian for eight years, and he has won another great victory. Yu Qian's prestige has reached its peak. If he wants to move Jingying, he must first move against Yu Qian.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp and he simply asked the imperial doctor to kill Qian.
"Fan Guang, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu tested Fan Guang.
Fan Guang was in trouble, and he knew it well. Yu Qian was competing with the imperial power, and he was the emperor's man.
"Your Majesty, I believe that haste makes waste. If you want to reorganize the Beijing camp quickly, you must use the Taibao!"
Fan Guang's words made Zhu Qiyu unhappy.
If Fan Guang said that he was willing to risk everything for him, the worst he could do would be bloodshed and he would be drafted again, but he felt that Fan Guang's loyalty was praiseworthy.
"Xuan Yuqian, come here." Zhu Qiyu remained calm.
Just quit like this?
Soon, Yu Qian entered the palace with a heroic appearance and bowed to the ground.
Seeing that Yu Qian was still alive, Hu Bi breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xian fell, but he and Yu Qian joined forces to create countless Li Xians.
"Yu Qian, I want you to reorganize the Beijing camp, can you?"
"Wei Chen obeys the order. Please give me half a year, and the Beijing camp will be reorganized according to your Majesty's wishes!" Yu Qian is neither humble nor arrogant.
Another half year?
"I plan to make you the chief minister of the cabinet."
"I obey the order!" Yu Qian was obedient.
"Secretary of the Ministry of War, do you have any recommendations?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"We have no people to recommend, please appoint or remove me!"
Yu Qian was also scared to death.
In the past, Yu Qian was not afraid at all.
He won't even join the cabinet.
"Old Master, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Old minister, obey your Majesty's orders!"
Hu Hui followed Yu Qian's footsteps and also surrendered to the emperor.
"That's all, let's leave the reorganization of the capital camp to Yu Taibao. I will see the results in half a year." Zhu Qiyu stood up and announced his resignation.
Somewhat anticlimactic.
If you can't take down Beijing Camp in one go, you won't have a chance in the future.
The so-called half a year is just an excuse.
Then send out the Beijing camp and consume it!
Yu Qian wants to play with me and see how I can kick the Beijing camp out of the capital!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were like daggers: "Li Xian, Wang Zhi, Wang Wen, Lin Cong, and Xue Xuan stay!"
The five people froze. Could it be that the emperor regretted it again? Want to kill them?
"Fan Guang also stays."
Zhu Qiyu took them into the Qinzheng Hall.
Li Xian and the other five people were trembling.
"Li Xian, I didn't kill you because of your hard work in the past. Do you understand?"
Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold: "Tell me, why did I ask you to supervise Liaodong?"
"Your Majesty wanted to order back the three generals Cao Yi, but he was worried that Jiao Li and Shi Ju were unreliable, leaving Cao Yi alone in Liaodong, so he sent an old minister to Liaodong. When running Liaodong, the veteran must focus on stability!"
Li Xian really survived the disaster.
He had no idea that the emperor would spare him and not kill him.
"Instead of stabilizing Liaodong, we will fight when we need to. The Jurchens are also a serious concern. We will kill those who deserve to be killed and surrender those who deserve to be surrendered!"
"I will send you to Liaodong and give you expediency!"
"You can attack the Jurchens and Tatars on and off, and loot as you like, or you can defend the city and not leave. I will reward you if you win the battle, but I will not punish you if you are defeated."
"Also, when you go to Liaodong, you must assimilate North Korea. This is the main purpose of my sending you there."
"I will tell you the truth, I want to be naturalized in North Korea."
Zhu Qiyu told the truth.
Li Xian couldn't figure out for a moment whether the emperor was punishing him or letting him leave the court on purpose, and he was actually a little flattered.
"Your Majesty, the people of the North Korean Isthmus are poor and have little wealth. They have tried to annex the Ming Dynasty many times, but the court has rejected them." Li Xian said cautiously.
Yes, North Korea is indeed poor.
However, North Korea's geography is very important. When developing the Northeast, the instability factor is firstly the Jurchens, and secondly North Korea.
Moreover, North Korea is known as Little China, so it is relatively easy to localize it into Chinese.
There is another reason. North Korea and Japan are close at hand. If you occupy North Korea, you can send troops out of Japan.
"I know that the annexation that North Korea wants is only in name and cannot be taken seriously."
"The naturalization I want is to turn North Korea into the land of the Ming Dynasty!"
"I want to build post roads and recruit servants. It will harm my people. I can't bear it. However, the isthmus has a large number of people in Korea, so it can be put to great use."
Zhu Qiyu told the truth: "The place is so small, so just move to the Central Plains. It is better to come to the Central Plains to do hard labor than to live in a small and tiny place."
North Korea's land is poor, but there are many people, all of whom are laborers. It's a shame if we don't make good use of them.
This is a favor to the North Koreans.
Let them become people of the Ming Dynasty. That was a good opportunity given to him by the father of the Ming Dynasty. How dare you be picky? Are you tired of living?
Believe it or not, if I pass the imperial edict, North Korea will send countless households to do corvee labor.
In which country do the dignitaries treat the common people as human beings?
Li Xian twitched his lips and suddenly realized that going to supervise Liaodong might become a turning point in his career.
"Old minister, I understand!" Li Xian kowtowed respectfully.
"Li Xian, I chose you because I know your abilities and focus on government affairs. You will be my right-hand man."
Zhu Qiyu said earnestly: "In Liaodong, do it boldly and don't be afraid of offending the Jurchens and Tatars. Prestige is earned!"
"You select a group of Jinshi from the Hanlin Academy, and then recruit a group of civil servants to follow you to Liaodong."
"Chineseization is the main thing, and fighting is the supplement."
"There is no need to worry about military supplies. I will transfer money and food to you from the center. If there are not enough soldiers, I will send the Beijing camp to you."
"I know that the upper-class dignitaries in North Korea can speak elegant language and the people at the bottom are not allowed to speak Chinese. You will break this rule when you go and let the people speak Chinese. This is my gift to North Korea. If anyone dares to disobey, I will directly send troops to attack he!"
"You can't beat the Tatars, but you can't beat North Korea? If you don't show respect, you'll beat me!"
"North Korea produces beauties, and the dignitaries in Beijing like women with small feet, so they have the feet of North Korean women bound and sent to the Jiaofang Division. I will buy them at the market price."
"I also spend money to buy Korean and Jurchen slaves."
"Remember, bring more people over. If Liaodong is to be developed, use Jurchens and Koreans to do it."
"It's okay to be ruthless. There are so many of them, so they can use them as they please."
"If you learn Chinese, there will be a way to survive..."
Zhu Qiyu said a lot before he solemnly said: "Li Xian, I hand over Liaodong to you."
"As long as you make political achievements in Liaodong, I will reserve the position of chief minister of the cabinet for you!"
These words really flattered Li Xian.
It was as if the shouting and killing in the court were just a show.
Li Xian was also confused. The emperor seemed to be really crazy?
"Lin Cong, do you know why I asked you to supervise Shandong?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cong.
Lin Cong's face turned bitter.
There are so many things going on in Shandong, especially when there is a local emperor sitting on top. What will he do?
"I know that there is a native emperor in Shandong, and refugees and bandits are everywhere. The central government sent batches of people to Shandong, but there was no news from any of them."
"Shandong is in chaos, and I know it."
"The reason why I let you go is because I plan to rectify Shandong."
Lin Cong trembled all over. Did he really arrange Beikong to fish in the sea?
Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Xian: "When Li Xian establishes his prestige in Liaodong, he will start to level the land, fill the swamps, and develop Liaodong. By then, I plan to build a city in Liaodong and house Beikong!"
hiss!
Lin Cong took a breath, the emperor was so cruel.
"When you go to Shandong, I will give you the Emperor's Sword. You are still known as a cabinet minister. The dignified cabinet prime minister has taken charge of Shandong. This shows how much the central government attaches great importance to it!"
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I plan to send a regiment camp from the Beijing camp to follow you to Shandong."
"Old minister, I obey the order!" With the confidence of fifteen thousand people, Lin Cong was in high spirits.
Lin Cong said cautiously: "I would like to ask your Majesty to send a good general. There are so many bandits in Shandong. If there is no good general in charge, I will be worried."
"Pingxiang Bo Chen Fu is my confidant. He will lead the troops and follow you to Shandong."
Chen Fu, the uncle of Pingxiang, whose father was Chen Huai, died in Tumubao. His family originally did not have a life certificate, but Zhu Qiyu gave him a life certificate, and Chen Fu inherited the title.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Lin Cong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Hao, I will transfer Ren Li and Chen Yu out of Nanzhili and send you to guard Nanjing. You do have the title of Clay Sculpture Pavilion Elder."
"But I know your abilities."
"You go to Nanjing and serve as a frontline for me. After the government is stable, I will be happy with Nanjing and take charge of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You must know the reason."
"Secondly, the forces in Nanjing are complex. Only with veterans like you in charge can I rest assured."
"Thirdly, I need you to go to Nanjing and help me select good talents, regardless of family background, only talent."
Zhu Qiyu grabbed Xiao Yan's hand: "I have suffered a lot from you these past few months, I know it!"
Xiao Fan didn't expect that he could leave the capital completely.
Really burst into tears.
Zhu Qiyu thought he was moved.
"Xue Xuan, I selected you to go to Guangxi because I hope you will bring Wen Hui to Guangxi and quickly assimilate the Miao Tong tribe in Guangxi."
"Let me tell you the truth. If I want to move Ning Fan, Jiangxi will be in chaos soon."
"However, Guangxi cannot be chaotic!"
"I sent you to stabilize Guangxi!"
"You may not be a good prime minister, but when you oversee a place, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"
Zhu Qiyu said extremely seriously: "I know that Guangxi is difficult to defend, and it is even more difficult to assimilate all ethnic groups. However, the Central Committee can give you policies. You can always report the situation in Guangxi to me, so that I can see the real Guangxi. Can you do it? Xue Xuan?"
"Old minister, I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Xue Xuan kowtowed respectfully.
He no longer wanted to be the Prime Minister. It was really frightening to stand on the cusp of the storm every day, dancing on the edge of a knife.
He was extremely happy to finally be able to leave the capital.
"Wang Wen, do you know why I sent you to Yunnan?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Wen.
"This is your Majesty's beloved minister." Wang Wen took the opportunity to flatter him.
"That's right."
"When it comes to governorship, Yunnan is the most difficult."
"And you are mine, so I send you to solve the biggest problem!"
"I can't wait to quickly assimilate all the ethnic groups in the southwest and make all ethnic groups Chinese-Chinese quickly!"
"Three years!"
"I will give you three years to Chineseize the barbarians and natives in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan!"
"Whatever you want, I will give you! As long as you can assimilate quickly, if you want soldiers or generals, or money, I will give it to you!"
"I'm going to start with some ideas. There is a lot of timber in Yunnan and Guizhou. I plan to ask the Royal Commercial Bank to do more timber business and transfer it to Beijing. I just plan to build more buildings."
"In the slack time of farming, you recruit more servants and dig mountains and build roads!"
"Give the husband some money, and the money will come out of the internal funds."
"Don't touch those chieftains for now. Give them all the rewards they deserve. Just slowly build roads, slowly open mountains, and slowly teach people Chinese. In three years, I want to see a brand new Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hunan!"
Zhu Qiyu said earnestly: "What I say may not be right, but I will give you everything I can give you!"
"After three years, as long as you make meritorious deeds, I will grant you the title of Sangu! Let you be the Heavenly Official!"
Wang Wen sighed, but felt that His Majesty was too anxious.
Chineseization is a long process, and it will take Your Majesty three years. Yungui is so big that I don’t know how much money needs to be spent to see the effect.
Once too much money is spent, will the emperor still be so easy to talk to?
"Wang Wen, you have underestimated Yungui. Yungui is a treasure land. It is just limited by the transportation capacity and cannot be transported out. As long as the things in Yungui are transported out, it will be gold!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "When you arrive in Yunnan, contact the Duke of Guizhou. If you have any difficulties, go to Mu Cong. I will give you my decree."
He does not doubt that the Mu family has the possibility of being independent, because Yunnan is too poor!
It’s so comfortable to be the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. What’s the point of being independent?
"Also, reopen the Ancient Tea Horse Road..."
If you want to start the Ancient Tea Horse Road, you can’t go around the Luchuan Kingdom.
Speaking of Luchuan Kingdom, it was humiliated by the Ming Dynasty. It conquered Luchuan from all directions and was defeated like a dog.
The so-called victory is just cutting off a leg and putting a band-aid on it to decorate it. From then on, the dignity of the Celestial Kingdom has been crumbling.
"Luchuan wants land, so give it to him. Yunnan is very big. We don't want land, we want population, especially the Chinese population."
Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth and said: "Three years, three years later, if I personally conquer Luchuan, I will definitely destroy the country! Kill all its people!"
"Wang Wen, I give you the most important task."
"The Hanization of Yunnan is too slow. I want to personally conquer Luchuan and end this shameful history, but I must have the support of the Han people."
"When you arrive in Yunnan, the central government won't be able to give you much support."
"I will give you a regiment and a veteran general to follow you."
Zhu Qiyu's first thought was Yang Ning. Yang Ning participated in the second expedition to Luchuan and was promoted for his merit. Now he is serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in Nanjing due to foot illness.
"Let Yang Ning and Han Ning lead the troops and go to Yunnan with you."
Han Ning is the son of Han Qing. During the Beijing Defense War, Han Qing guarded Zijin Pass and died of exhaustion. He was called a hero.
"Wang Wen, you are upright and don't know how to adapt. I'm afraid you will suffer some losses when you arrive in Yunnan."
"Remember, the court is not sending troops to fight the Battle of Luchuan. It is asking you to Sinicize Yunnan and Guizhou, and just hold on to the Han land. Try not to go to the territory of the barbarians and natives, and then increase trade to attract their people to come down the mountain."
"I would like to remind you one more thing, don't look at the Miao people differently. The people of Yunnan and Guizhou are all descendants of Chinese Miao and are my children. If you look at them differently, I can't forgive you."
Zhu Qiyu warned him.
"I know!" Wang Wen said quickly.
The explanation is completed.
Zhu Qiyu looked around at the five people: "I am expelling you and other cabinet ministers, not because of blame, but because of my ambition!"
"I give you the Emperor's Sword and give you the power of expediency!"
"I have only one request. You should always keep my words in mind. You must fulfill my request!"
"I don't care what method you use! I said, whatever you want, I will give you, whatever support you want, I will give you whatever support you want!"
"I want to see the result!"
"do you understand?"
Li Xian and the other five knelt on the ground: "I understand!"
"My lords, how cruel I was to you in the court, but how happy you will be outside the capital."
"When you leave the capital, you are no longer an imperial party."
"No matter what I do, I will never drag you down!"
"You were relegated."
"I have good intentions, you must understand!"
Zhu Qiyu's words are serious and thoughtful.
The five people kowtowed, and Wang Wen choked with tears and said: "Your Majesty's heart is filled with fists, and I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude."
Let five of them go down.
Leaving Fan Guang alone, Zhu Qiyu calmed down and asked quietly: "I sent out two regiments and camps. Which two commanders in the Beijing camp are disobedient?"
Fan Guang was stunned and immediately understood that the emperor was taking the opportunity to encroach on Yu Qian's military power!
Xuanzhen was defeated three times, and two of the ten regiments and battalions were lost and have not yet been replenished.
The emperor kicked out two more.
Yu Qian's military power was sharply reduced.
The offensive and defensive dynamics are different.
Therefore, the emperor kept Fan Guang because Fan Guang still had two in hand.
Fan Guang named the regiment camp in the hands of Zhu Yi and Zhu Yong.
One was kicked to Shandong and the other to Yunnan. When they came back, it was impossible to say whose soldiers it was.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Fan Guang deeply and raised the corners of his mouth: "Get up."
"Yu Taibao has changed and become utilitarian."
Fan Guang didn't dare to answer.
"But it's okay. Someone who wants to be a saint all day long doesn't look half human. It's good to have a utilitarian mind. I'm afraid that he will lose his utilitarian mind."
"Fan Guang, I won't let you take sides. You are a soldier and you should not get involved in dirty politics."
"But you have to remember, whose family belongs to this world?"
Zhu Qiyu clicked on him.
"We know everything clearly, the whole world belongs to your Majesty!"
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for granting me your daughter a marriage!"
Fan Guang also became wise. His Majesty gave his youngest daughter to Yu Kang in marriage.
In the past, when Yu Qian was not in tit-for-tat with His Majesty, everyone was happy and like relatives.
However, when Yu Qian is aggressive, Yu Kang is the card that checks and balances Yu Qian, and to hold Yu Kang's card, you must first hold Fan Guang.
Fan Guang is showing his loyalty.
"Get up."
Fan Guang passed the test.
"I plan to split the Beijing camp into an army and do it according to my wishes." Zhu Qiyu said.
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
Send Fan Guang away.
Zhu Qiyu poked his eyebrows, feeling a little tired, and asked the eunuch to take care of him for a while.
After getting up, he reviewed the memorial.
Yiyi Qing wrote another letter, accusing Ning Fan of not knowing how to restrain himself.
"Ning Fan can no longer hold himself back. It would be great if he rebelled." Zhu Qiyu clicked his tongue.
After announcing the victory of the town and spreading it to the world, Ning Fan should not dare to rebel anymore, which is a pity.
"Your Majesty, Xu Youzhen has finished writing." Feng Xiao came in to report.
"oh?"
Zhu Qiyu had forgotten about Xu Youzhen and asked him to write down his experience in water control and let Lian Zhong follow him for some time.
"Have you finished writing? Submit it."
Feng Xiao took the written copy.
Zhu Qiyu looked at ten lines at a glance and couldn't understand some of them.
"What did Lian Zhong say?"
"Eunuch Lian was amazed and kept praising Xu Youzhen as a great talent in flood control." Feng Xiao reported back.
Indeed, Xu Youzhen is talented.
But since it's not mine, I don't feel comfortable using it.
"Is there no such talent in flood control in the court?" Zhu Qiyu wanted to kill him, but was reluctant to do so.
"Please tell me, Your Majesty, I know Wei Ji."
"Wei Ji? Didn't you resign and go into seclusion?"
Needless to say, Wei Ji was an all-rounder. He participated in the compilation of "Yongle Dadian". He was known for his literary talent, and he also contributed military strategies. He was also an expert in flood control.
Unfortunately, such a person resigned from his official position and went into seclusion in the early years of Jingtai.
"My slave, I see that your hair has turned gray when you think about talents, so I want to ask the boss to come out and help you solve your problems." Feng Xiao said cautiously.
He and the emperor are no longer closer than before, and recommending talents is interfering with the government's affairs.
"Seize love and enable it."
Zhu Qiyu decided: "Send someone to bring Wei Ji to the capital. If he can hold an official position, he will take it. If he can't hold it, he will compile the experience of water control into a book and pass it on to future generations."
"By the way, do you know who the king took with him when he took office?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly laughed: "When I took Chen Tai away, he said that Chen Tai was not good at fighting but was a good builder of cities. I was so happy that Chen Tai's face turned dark at that time, hahaha!"
Feng Xiao saw that the emperor was in a good mood and quickly praised him.
"Oh, it would be great if all these old ministers were alive."
"Today in Fengtian Palace, I want to simply kill all Li Xian and others!"
"But I still held back and killed them all. Who will do the work for me?"
"There are too few capable and experienced people in the world. Let's kick them out of the capital and let them work for me. If they don't do well, I will scold them and kill them directly. It's too easy for them!"
“It’s time to improve local areas, starting with Gyeonggi.”
"Invite Kuai Xiang and Lu Xiang."
"My slave obeys the order." Feng Xiaoke did not dare to reply to the emperor's murmur.
Soon, Kuai Xiang came in on crutches.
A craftsman who has become the right minister of the Ministry of Industry is really powerful.
Accompanying Kuai Xiang was Lu Xiang, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry. Lu Xiang was a master sculptor, and many of the sculptures in the palace were made by him.
"Flat body."
Zhu Qiyu looked at the two old men.
Kuai Xiang is dark and thin, with calluses on his hands, but he is very strong.
Lu Xiang is white and fat, with knife wounds on his hands, but he always smiles and has a charming smile.
"Now that the capital has sufficient food, I plan to repair the palace."
"I have also seen the pictures you produced and I am very satisfied."
"I plan to build a Yangxin Hall next to the Qianqing Palace, and a military aircraft office next to the Yangxin Hall."
"Both Renshou Palace and Qingci Palace need to be rebuilt."
Zhu Qiyu said: "What do you think?"
"Reporting to your majesty, I will go back to draw the map immediately. After the map is completed, please read it." Kuai Xiang was very respectful.
As a craftsman, he is cautious.
To be able to reach this point, in addition to relying on superb skills, it is a creed that no one can be offended.
"You don't have to show it to me, just watch the construction."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Kuaixiang, Lu Xiang, I'm calling you here because I have something to tell you."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Kuai Xiang and Lu Xiang knelt on the ground.
"Your skills are exquisite and rare in the world. I hope you can pass on your skills so that more carpenters and masons can learn your skills."
"I know that you all have unique skills, and I have always cherished them."
"I asked you all to spread the word, just to make things difficult for you."
"However, I don't want your skills to be lost."
"I tell you, I expanded the capital this year, will expand next year, and will expand Nanjing in the future. I even plan to establish ten capitals after restoring the Mongolian and Yuan territories."
"In these ten big cities, I want people to see your skills!"
Kuai Xiang and Lu Xiang are not interested in politics and do not dare to be interested.
He kowtows respectfully: "Your Majesty's order, I dare not hide my secrets. I will recruit more disciples and pass on my skills."
"Okay, you can understand my difficulties and you are filial."
Zhu Qiyu helped them get up: "Taizu has regulations on titles. I can't grant you titles, but I will give you a golden talisman!"
Kuai Xiang's pupils shrank, the news that Yu Qian was given the jade talisman had spread in the capital.
Moreover, the emperor was extremely cautious about Talisman cards and would not give them easily.
Talisman tablets became more valuable than titles in the capital.
"I allow you to compile it into a book, publish it and spread it throughout the world. I will also collect a copy and put it in the library."
Lu Xiang opened his mouth.
To compile books, only those who have read the books of sages are qualified!
Can he, a mere craftsman, compile a book?
"I allow you to compile it, and I will personally write the preface for you, and it will be printed by the classics factory and spread throughout the world."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I will spend money to publish it and make sure it is exquisite. Let bibliophiles collect your books so that future generations can see your works!"
"Old minister, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness! Your Majesty's grace is so great, I will definitely pass it on to the world without reservation!" Kuai Xiang was so excited that he shed tears.
Compared with Zangsi, who would not want to be famous in history.
"Okay, when you finish the book, I will give you the golden talisman!" Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up with a smile.
Let’s talk about construction again.
"I will let the Royal Merchant Company purchase the wood."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed. Liaodong, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi all produced timber, which could be used to develop business, benefit the natives, and quickly naturalize the natives.
"Lu Xiang, your sculptures are lifelike, but you can also make people into sculptures, just like paintings." Zhu Qiyu was more interested in Lu Xiang.
"Your Majesty, the words of the sculptor are disrespectful to people, and I don't dare to do so." Lu Xiang said cautiously.
"Keep respect in your heart, just like Buddha statues and Taoist statues, don't they also have golden bodies? Who doesn't respect them? Don't worry about the red tape. When you go back, you can carve a few figures and bring them to the palace for me to see."
"Old minister, I obey the order." Lu Xiang did not dare to disobey the emperor.
After sending Kuai Xiang and Lu Xiang away, Zhu Qiyu continued to review the memorial.
The difference between Hu and Han.
Guo Deng's memorial said that the Seven Guards of Guanxi heard about the Ming Dynasty's victory over Oara and asked for it to be attached. He discussed the differences between Hu and Han.
There were many naturalized Hu people in the Ming Dynasty. After a few generations, they completely regarded themselves as Ming people.
Like Chen You, he doesn't think he is a Hui Hui person at all.
"Those who can speak Chinese are Han!" Zhu Qiyu said.
Added a few words: "The Seven Guards of Guanxi are not allowed to move to the mainland. I have the intention to reopen the Loop. If there is a war, you can open it to help the war."
"Guo Deng can assimilate the herdsmen near the Great Wall. Those who can speak Chinese are Han."
After he finished writing, he put it aside.
Zhu Qiyu believes that there are probably no pure-blooded Han Chinese.
Han people are a symbol, a cultural symbol. We speak the same words and read the same books, and we are Han.
Regardless of appearance, color, or race.
Huihui, Aiwuer, Mongolian, and Miao can all be Han.
"Invite Hu Hui and Yu Qian to come to Qinzheng Hall."
When they came over, Zhu Qiyu showed them Zhu Pi's memorial.
"Your Majesty wants to Chineseize the Hu people?" Hu Hui saw through the emperor's heart.
"That's right, I want to quickly Chineseize it, and then send troops out of the Hetao to regain the Hetao." Zhu Qiyu said bluntly.
Seeing the emperor's attitude, Hu Xi also relaxed a little.
Although he didn't know what the emperor talked about with Li Xian and others, he vaguely guessed the emperor's ambition.
"Your Majesty, I think this is not allowed."
Yu Qian said generously: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different! These barbarians will rely on us when the Ming Dynasty is strong. When the Ming Dynasty declines, they will show their fangs. This has been the case throughout the ages."
Zhu Qiyu looked at him: "What do the Taibao think?"
"Watch them being defeated by Wala and reap the benefits."
"The Hu people have always cared about eating rather than beating. The harder they were beaten, the more humble they became and obeyed the Ming Dynasty."
Yu Qian said seriously: "Your Majesty wants to swallow up the Hetao, but the people of the Central Plains may not be willing to immigrate there."
"When the Xifan army is defeated and is in panic all day long, the border towns can be ordered to come out of the pass to receive them, lead them into the pass, and then capture the Hetao and place them on the Hetao."
"Once faced with life and death, they will be willing to become Chinese."
"Secondly, in the war in Mobei, they only killed people and looted property. The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and they have already become dead friends. We can feel at ease if we surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
"So Wei Chen believes that Your Majesty should stay put and wait for the chaos in Xifan."
"With the loss of troops and generals in Ola, we must replenish our supplies and troops from other places. I think Xifan is the best choice."
Hu Xi nodded, Yu Qian's analysis made sense.
"A lot of property has been taken away by Wala, but we have to provide money to support these people. It's a loss."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Can you pretend to be Wala and rob Xifan!"
hiss!
Yu Qian took a breath, thinking that he was cruel enough.
Compared with His Majesty, he really pales in comparison.
"Your Majesty, how can the Ming Dynasty do the things of thieves?" Hu Bi was not angry.
"Old Master, they are fat sheep anyway. If we don't slaughter them, the Wala people will slaughter them. Whoever slaughters them will be slaughtered!"
"If the Seven Guards of Kansai are killed, there will be no constraints on the Loop, and we can successfully take over the Loop."
"As for the Ora soldiers, if they don't capture Xifan, they will have to go to the Western Regions. Maybe the countries in the Western Regions will suffer disaster and have to ask the Ming Dynasty for help!"
"At that time, we can also take the opportunity to reopen the Silk Road."
When Zhu Qiyu said this, he actually became happy.
It is also unfortunate for Xifan to have an emperor like you.
"Taobao, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked enthusiastically.
Yu Qian rolled his eyes: "Xifan has been robbed several times, and we don't like the rest..."
"Taobao, you don't like me, but the people of Ming Dynasty do!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "After we snatch it back, we will sell it to the people."
Sell?
You are really good at this business, no one can take advantage of you!
"How about it?"
Seeing the emperor's excited look, Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "You can give it a try."
"Pass an order, the commander-in-chief of the five towns of Datong, Taiyuan, Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan, and others will send people disguised as Ora soldiers to plunder Xifan!"
hiss!
The emperor actually wrote the imperial edict and passed it down.
This imperial decree will be recorded in the history books. The emperor really does not want a posthumous name.
"The things stolen belong to the soldiers, and there is no need to hand them over." Zhu Qiyu also felt that Xifan was too poor and had little money.
"Your Majesty, you are wise!" Hu Xi complimented.
"Kill more people, act like they're there, and once the looting is over, the towns are ready to switch on and off and accept the refugees to move in."
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up: "When Xuan Town is built, I will take back the Loop, take back the compensation, and use the internal funds!"
As for being seen, just see it.
Who makes Ming Dynasty strong?
I am so domineering, and the people of Ming Dynasty are also so domineering! If you don't accept it, die!
Hu Xi wanted to persuade, but Yu Qian shook his head.
"Why doesn't the Taibao allow the Taifu to persuade me?" Zhu Qiyu saw it.
"Reporting to your majesty, if there were no mischief and plundering by the Westerners, Hetao might be able to be self-sufficient. I believe that a battle in Xuanzang can bring peace to the Ming border for at least ten years!"
Yu Qian has this confidence.
"That just shows that now is a good opportunity to take back the Loop!"
Zhu Qiyu looked a little excited, stood up and said excitedly: "I sent the Beijing camp to conquer the Hetao! Take back our homeland!"
Yu Qian's face turned bitter when he mentioned the capital camp.
The emperor forcibly sent the Beijing camp out of the capital. The appearance was so ugly that there was no room left for him.
The number of troops in his hands has been greatly reduced. If he sends out two more regiments and battalions, he will have no soldiers at all. How can he compete with the emperor?
Is it just based on the undefeated golden body of two great achievements?
Zhu Qiyu looked at him and smiled.
Fight with me?
Unless you want to usurp the throne, I am the emperor, and I can kick the capital camp out of the capital. If you don't accept the reorganization, just go to the frontier to eat sand.
See if everyone in the army hates you, Yu Qian!
When he returns to Beijing in a few years, it's hard to say who this soldier belongs to.
