In the first half of this year, the main task Zhu Qiyu set for himself was to select talents.
Needless to say, Jinshi in a new subject must be carefully cultivated. Even if he is an existing official, Zhu Qiyu plans to plow it from scratch like plowing land. This is called repairing omissions and making the best use of everything.
Especially officials at the level of minister and chief envoy must be carefully explored.
As for Xungui, we have to pick and choose again to see if there is anything worth saving.
Then in the second half of the year, we will carry out staff reform and develop a standard promotion process for this class of officials. In this way, the enthusiasm of officials can be mobilized, and secondly, a large number of supporters can be attracted.
This year, Shanxi will be completely squeezed dry, and then we will start to reorganize the Great Wall defense line. Then kill the King of Liao by the way.
Next year, we will complete the three-year tax exemption plan and then tentatively engage in destroying the Buddha.
The following year, he began to conquer Jiaozhi and re-entered Nanyang. At this time, it's basically time for the Supreme Emperor's faction to make their last stand. It's funny to think about Cao Jixiang, the only eunuch who rebelled in thousands of years.
Therefore, in order to use troops against the south, the power and role of Nanjing must be greatly strengthened, especially the Nanjing Ministry of War and the Chinese Army Governor's Office.
This is also the reason why Zhu Qiyu summoned all the important officials of the Nanjing Ministry of War.
As for whether to send Wang Ji and Chen Mao to Nanjing, it depends on the situation.
Seeing the emperor wandering in a daze, He Yi also began to be in a daze.
Because his eldest brother was about to return to Beijing, Zhu Qiyu felt that the psychological pressure was a bit high, so he began to make calculations and trade-offs back and forth. As for He Yi, it was because he was newly married that his body couldn't bear it.
When Zhu Qiyu finished his thoughts and came back to his senses, he saw He Yi sitting there swaying, already a little confused.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xingyi, cheer up, we are both about the same age, why do I feel that you have been a little low in energy these days?
Are you not eating well? I still have a lot of fresh venison at home. How about I have someone send you some? "
When He Yi heard that there was venison, he immediately nodded his head, and then began to complain: "It's not that I'm not in good health, it's just that the newly married woman is too beautiful and too enthusiastic.
You said the same goes for the princess. Such a good woman should be brought into the harem by His Majesty. If you don’t want to do anything for me, now I have a family and dare not go back. "
Zhu Qiyu waved his hands vigorously: "Forget about the harem, are you the only one who dares not go home? It's as if I dare to go home.
I don't care what happens to you in the future, anyway, there will never be any new women in my family.
Before I became emperor, I still fantasized about having a harem with three thousand beauties. It wasn't until I became the emperor that I realized that those assumptions should be put to rest. It only took fifteen beloved concubines to take my life. "
He Yi nodded: "Then I am just like Your Majesty. This is how it will be for the rest of my life. If you have too many wives and concubines, it will be easy for the family to become restless."
"Who says it's not the case? Although my fifteen beloved concubines are gentle and virtuous, they all said it bluntly. If I really recruit a group of women, the backyard fight will definitely start, and it will not be worse than People are peaceful.
So I don’t want a new woman anymore, otherwise I might end up drinking the medicine one day. Life is short, living well is the most important thing. "
He Yi asked curiously: "Do your Majesty's favorite concubines also fight in the house? I always thought that all the empresses were as gentle as water, like fairies who do not eat the fireworks of the world."
Zhu Qiyu spread his hands helplessly: "They are as good as you think they are now. As long as I don't accept new people, I can do anything to them.
If we recruit new people, we can't tell what the future will be like.
So I'd better protect myself for them. I'm already as happy as a god, so there's no need to make trouble for myself.
Okay, go back and I'll have someone send you some deer.
Let's talk about who should be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Originally, Jiao Hong, the Minister of Household Affairs, was an excellent candidate, but unfortunately he died of illness in the 14th year of Zhengtong.
Hey, I'm sorry, tell me if there are any good candidates. "
He Yi asked: "Is Your Majesty ready to start building a navy in Fujian and Zhejiang and restart Western trade?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded.
He Yi smiled and said: "I am from Fujian, why don't you recommend yourself?"
Zhu Qiyu immediately shook his head very firmly: "Don't even think about it. You, Huang Pu, and Xu Youzhen are all capable of running this errand, but I won't let you go.
Jiao Hong died of illness on his way back to Beijing in May of the 14th year of Zhengtong. In June, there was police in Shanxi, in July, the army was defeated at Yanghekou, and in August, there was a revolution in Tumu Fort.
Looking at this point in time, I always feel that Jiao Hong's death is not that simple.
Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, going to the Western Ocean is an extremely sensitive matter anyway, and I won't let you go. You'd better recommend me a personal choice. "
He Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this and had to reply: "Henan Zuobuzheng was a rich man. During his tenure in Shaanxi and Henan, he fought against the powerful, was unyielding, courageous and accomplished, and his reputation shocked the world.
I think that being young and wealthy just meets His Majesty's requirements. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he leaned back weakly, covered his face with his hands, and sighed repeatedly: "Oh, Nian Fu, I also transferred his files from the Ministry of Personnel and studied them carefully.
Judging from the resume, it looks pretty good. A chief envoy who can reach the second rank as a governor is obviously a capable person. But when I see the people recommended by Sanyang, I get a headache. "
He Yi heard the words and advised: "Nianfu was recommended by Yang Pu. Among the three Yangs, Yang Pu is known for his integrity and quietness. His conduct is somewhat better than that of the other two Yangs.
Moreover, Nian Fu and Yu Qian were different. Although they were both valued by Sanyang, Yu Qian was imprisoned by the Supreme Emperor. The feudal kings and powerful men in Shanxi and Henan collectively wrote letters to plead for Yu Qian.
And Nianfu really fought against the powerful, and was incompatible with the vassal kings and powerful powerful in Shaanxi and Henan to the point of being incompatible with each other.
Nianfu has really staked his future, risked his life, and will be dismissed from office and punished at any time.
This really doesn't seem to be a lie. Nian Fu just sincerely wants to plead for the people and clarify the government. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded, but still didn't want to speak.
He Yi continued to add: "Since your Majesty wants to completely liquidate Sanyang, you should use the young man more seriously, as an example, so that all civil and military officials can see that your Majesty will not kill him for no reason.
As long as someone is talented and virtuous, and sincerely serves the court and the people, no matter who recommends him or her, His Majesty will appoint him with all his heart, regardless of suspicion.
In this way, the minds of all civil and military officials can be stabilized, the government and the public can be at peace, and His Majesty's holy virtue can be demonstrated. It is beneficial and harmless to the country and the people. "
Zhu Qiyu thought carefully for a moment and then turned around: "Okay, let's order Nian Fu to come to Beijing. I will personally give him instructions, and then let him take up the post of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang."
Restarting Western trade is a big problem. I hope Nianfu will not disappoint me.
This time we must not only build an invincible ocean-going navy, but also make it custom-made so that subsequent courtiers cannot cancel it. "
He Yi asked again: "The examination will begin in a few days. I originally planned to let Chen, Huang Pu, and Yue Zheng serve as co-examiners, but now Yue Zheng has gone to meet the Supreme Emperor. Who should fill this spot?" Woolen cloth?"
