The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 809 Conquering the world is easy, defending the world is difficult

However, as the emperor's personal entourage, Su Yue and the others know that the emperor is also very interested in a mature woman like Concubine Fan Hui.

At this time, Ding Yi was standing in front of the bed, with his hands stretched out to the sides, raised horizontally.

Several little maids were busy, and Su Yue personally helped him with the belt and other items.

There were fourteen sets of clothes for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Ding Yi did not change them, because he was really not in the mood for such trivial things now.

The emperor's fourteen sets of clothes are suitable for various occasions.

For example, he is going to wear regular clothes today, according to Yongle's three-year rule: wear a black gauze, with the corners facing upwards, and later named Yishanguan.The robe is yellow, with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves. The front, back and shoulders are each woven with gold coiled dragons, the belt is made of jade, and the boots are made of leather.

The craftsmen in the palace once sent it up for Ding Yi to watch and point out suggestions for improvement. Ding Yi was very trouble-free, so he skipped it and followed the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone has no choice but to do so.

Just as the maids were helping him tidy up his clothes, Suyue suddenly brought Xiangxiang's face close to Ding Yi's, and whispered, "Jiwang Zhu Cihong went to the princess in the morning and asked to go to Jeju."

"A clan wants to leave the capital, Dudu Chen asked the palace, how to deal with it?"

These two things happened this morning, before Ding Yi got up.

Ding Yi now wakes up at five o'clock, which is quite early.

But both of those things happened.

Chen Yang, the admiral of the Beijing camp defending the various cities in the capital, was not allowed to enter the palace before the palace gate was opened in the morning, so he could only send someone to come in.

I can't come here in the morning, so I sent someone to send a message.

Su Yue is the only one who can get in touch with Ding Yi first, so she sends the letter.

As soon as she finished speaking, another little maid handed Chen Yang's request to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi opened it and looked at it for a few moments, then closed it: "It is my word of mouth that the children of the clans in the capital are not allowed to leave the capital for the time being, waiting for the imperial edict."

Because Ding Yi planned to arrange for them to go to Jeju with Ji Wang Zhu Cihong in November.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Yue glanced at a court lady, who hurried out to inform a eunuch, and the little eunuch hurriedly passed on the message.

When the Ming Dynasty was established, all the people from the Yuan Dynasty were driven to Jeju Island, and Ding Yi also planned to let the Ming clan go to Jeju Island.

Zhu Cihong will be named King Ji and live a "free" life on Jeju Island.

Yesterday, he issued several imperial decrees in His Majesty Huangji, one is to increase the salaries of officials all over the world, and the other is to change the imperial gate to take two days off every five days to learn from the two-day system of later generations.

But during the two days of rest, the cabinet and auxiliary ministers will go to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, and it will be between 01:30 and 05:30 in the afternoon.

As soon as Ding Yi became emperor, he made a change for himself to sleep late. The reason was to be considerate of his officials.

If you think about it, he himself has to get up at five o'clock, and the officials rushed to the palace from all over the capital to go to court, and some of them would get up at three or four o'clock.

This move immediately aroused enthusiastic response from the officials in the capital, not only increased wages, but also turned into weekends.

Of course, they don't have to get up early to go to the palace to go to court, and they have to do the things in each department.

Ding Yi also made it very clear yesterday that in all the yamen in Beijing, except during the war period, they are usually on duty at 11:30 am (about 01:30 in later generations), and at [-]:[-] pm ([-]:[-]) at noon. The upper value is at two quarters ([-]:[-]), and the four quarters at night (lower value at six o'clock).

During the two days of rest, the yamen of each ministry will be at nine (self time) and three (shen time) at night.

Going to work at nine o'clock and leaving work at three o'clock is very humane.

It can be said that Ding Yi's imperial decrees on the first day of his reign were approved by all officials in the world.

Except for the capital city, each minister announced that the political envoys were the same as the capital city.

These decrees made the officials all over the world happy, and Ding Yi can also take a good rest for two days and sleep late.

Even he himself thinks it is unreliable. Will I be the laziest person who travels to be the emperor?
I have worked so hard in the past ten years, so I want to enjoy it now, can't I?Ding Yi quickly found an excuse for himself.

Today is a five-day weekend. Ding Yi got up so early because he was enthroned yesterday, and there are many memorials to be approved today.

He still has to summon the cabinet and auxiliary ministers in the afternoon, and find other happy programs in the evening, so of course he can only squeeze out the time in the morning.

The Qianqing Palace is the emperor's private place. In the past, anyone who could meet the emperor here was regarded as a close minister and a confidant in the world.

After getting dressed, Ding Yi ate something casually.

He has never been picky about his diet. He eats porridge and side dishes every day, and then there will be a small amount of coarse grains such as corn and sweet potatoes. Sometimes when he eats with women and children, he will add some meat buns, pancakes, fried dough sticks and the like.

It's not to save money, it's how much money can be saved, it's because he doesn't have much interest in eating.

At about six o'clock in the morning, Ding Yi came to Dongnuange.

At this time, the maids and eunuchs who followed him stayed outside, only the little eunuch Zhong Xian followed.

This little eunuch was selected after Ding Yi entered the palace, and has been with Ding Yi for more than a year. Ding Yi felt pretty good, and slowly became a close minister.

Zhong Xian is only 16 years old, only one year older than Su Yue, but he looks very calm and intelligent.

As soon as you enter the Dongnuan Hall, you can see that the wall inside is relatively empty.

Zhong Xian observed Ding Yi carefully, and quickly realized: "My lord, do you want your servant to find a painting to hang on it?"

Ding Yi said: "Let Su Yue find Zeng Rou, I have a map of the world, hang it here."

"Your servant obeys." Zhong Xian turned and went out, and whispered a few words to Su Yue who was at the door.

At the same time as Zhong Xian came back, several young eunuchs also came in, all carrying a large number of memorials, piled them on the imperial case, bowed to Ding Yi before leaving.

Ding Yi had no choice but to look at the mountains of things on the case, and sat down on the chair helplessly, thinking to himself, "My own, this is my own Daqian Dynasty. If you don't read it, who will?"

Ding Yi picked up the memorial and began to look through it.

I didn’t become an emperor before, most of the following memorials are for persuasion, but now I am an emperor, most of them are flattery, please be kind.

He flipped through more than a dozen books, all of them were like this, and he was a little annoyed.

"Bang" Ding Yi suddenly patted the table.

Zhong Xian was startled and looked at him nervously.

"Decree to summon Zhang Xin, Wang Duo, and Ma Shiying—to have an audience with them." He announced the names of many people in one breath.

Then he said: "Pass the decree to Zhang Jinyan and appoint Lu Chao as the commander of Jinyiwei."

"Yang Yong is the governor of the North Town, and Yuan Gui is the governor of the South Town."

"Zeng Mo is the commander of Habayashi's left guard, and Zhong Yanzhu is the commander of Habayashi's right guard."

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty originally had 26 guards in the army. Later, with the rise of civil servants, only Jin Yiwei belonged to the emperor, and the remaining 25 guards were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

After Ding Yi entered Beijing, he asked Chen Yang to lead [-] soldiers and horses into the Beijing camp, responsible for the defense of the capital.

Then [-] soldiers and horses were divided into the emperor's personal army to garrison the imperial city.

The 20 soldiers and horses were divided into Habayashi left guard and right guard by Ding Yi, and the remaining [-] guards were all dismissed.

Zeng Mo is Zeng Rou's younger brother, and he was Ding Yi's personal general before. He began to devolve his troops last year, and followed Yuan Youcai to fight everywhere. , is only a few years old, now he is 20 years old, and he has been serving as an officer in the army.

Zhong Xian was stunned when he heard it. Although he was only in his teens, he had been in the palace for three or four years.

He bowed cautiously and said: "My lord, appoint the guards and army commanders, etc. It's not easy for slaves to pass on word of mouth. You have to get the imperial decree written by the emperor himself, or the imperial decree written by the officials of the Imperial Academy before using the seal."

Ding Yi had no choice but to ask him to wait on him with pen and ink, and then wrote the imperial decree with his own hands.

Fortunately, Ding Yi's pen writing in his previous life was not bad, and he didn't make a fool of himself. Although it is far behind the civil servants of Ming Dynasty, he can always read it.

Moreover, Ding Yi was born as a general, so when he finished writing the imperial decree, Zhong Xian looked surprised at the side. He probably didn't expect that Ding Yi, who was born as a general, could write it like this.

After Zhong Xian went out with the imperial decree, after a while, Ruan Wenlong arrived first, followed by Zhang Jing, Zhong Zhenru, Du Ruhai, Chen Youfu, Li Zhongyi, Wei Jiye, Yao Xinhan and so on.

Most of these are old brothers brought out by Ding Yi from Xu Dabao, and some are from Dongjiang Town. Many of them have worked hard for Ding Yi in Jeju for more than ten years.

Yao Xinhan, who is like Da Yuan, was just recalled from Da Yuan last month.

These people were all allocated houses by Ding Yi in the capital, and they were quite close to the imperial palace, and their style of Lushun had always been relatively fast, so they were the first to come.

After a while, Shang Kexi and Yan Xiong also arrived.

After a while, Wang Duo, Minister of Rites, Zhang Jinyan, Minister of War, Zhang Xin, Minister of Officials, Lu Daqi, Minister of Household, Ma Shiying, Minister of Punishment, Song Yingxing, Minister of Industry, Zhang Shenyan, Yushi of Zuodu, and other cabinet ministers arrived here.

As soon as a few people came in, they were also taken aback when they saw so many people inside.

But they quickly realized that these were Ding Yi's confidantes Wenwu, and they all smiled immediately.

Ding Yi introduced them to each other, and gave them seats, and everyone sat on both sides.

The Dongnuang Pavilion is not very big, so many people have chairs to sit on, so it is a bit crowded immediately.

Then a little eunuch came in, served tea cups for everyone, and made good tea.

Once the hot tea was poured, the atmosphere in the room seemed to rise a lot. Ding Yi was used to it, and ministers like Wang Duo were rare.

In the past, in front of Chongzhen, there was a chance to sit, let alone sit and drink tea.

All the ministers looked at each other and felt that Ding Yi was a thousand times stronger than Chongzhen.

"A lot of generals in charge of the army are not here today, but I will try my best to summon those who can be summoned."

The meaning of Ding Yi's first sentence is also obvious. Many generals under his command have not been summoned.

Like Shang Kexi and Yan Xiong, one represents Dongjiang Town and the other represents Xu Dabao, they can be regarded as representatives of the two places.

These two people have not been sent out by Ding Yi as the chief soldier until now.

All the civil and military personnel did not speak, but listened attentively.

Ma Shiying even had a pious expression on his face, as if he was listening very seriously.

"Create new things, the world is yet to be determined, we have to figure out how to govern the world."

"Conquering the world is easy, defending the world is difficult."

"Since ancient times, there have been thousands of emperors, but how many of them can be called Mingjun, enable the people to live a good life, and end well with the officials?"

This time, no matter whether it was from Dongjiang Town, Xu Dabao, or the former ministers of the Ming Dynasty, their faces changed slightly.

The cunning rabbit dies, the dog cooks, the bird hides the bow, and the famous words of history start to circle in their minds in an instant.
