Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 162 Concubine, kneel down!

Qianqing Palace, Inner Palace.

The candles were blown out, and everything was silent.

Concubine Tang Gui wore tulle, even though the weather outside was gloomy, the inside of the hall was still hot and humid.

She knelt down and pressed Zhu Qiyu's shoulder gently.

"Tang Xing has made progress. A few days ago Shang Ren wrote a letter praising Tang Xing, and recently Li Xian also praised Tang Xing."

Speaking of her father, Tang Guifei's fingers were slightly stiff.

She didn't dare to show it, the emperor hated her father, she was able to stay in the palace to serve her, it was a great grace, she didn't dare to cause trouble for His Majesty.

"I've been thinking about it lately, have I been too harsh on him?" Zhu Qiyu's tone was tinged with regret.

Tang Guifei's fingers were slightly stiff, and a smile appeared on her face: "If your majesty hadn't tempered my father, my father would not be where he is today. Please don't transfer him back to the center just because of a little achievement."

Zhu Qiyu felt comfortable listening to these words.

Foreign relatives need ability, but the ability must not be too great.

Obviously, Tang Xing did not have both. This is not a good thing, but it is also a good thing.

Shang Ren and Li Xian probably mentioned him out of face, but Zhu Qiyu was not sure whether he had really made progress.

"Aifei is sober in the world."

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with her answer: "Tang Xing experienced some experience in Liaodong, which is good for him. After the Liaodong war is over, I will promote him according to his merit."

Tang Guifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor didn't intend to transfer Tang Xing back to the center at all, but just to test her attitude.

If she doesn't think about things from the emperor's point of view for the sake of her mother clan, she will lose all her glory.

This is the emperor's test.

"Liaodong is a treasure land..."

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and walked up his knees: "When the Harqin tribe is defeated, I will order Yu Qian to move to Liaodong."

"Prepare money and food first, let the soldiers cultivate."

"In autumn, I will send Yu Qian's troops out of Liaodong and push the defense line north."

"Tang Xing can accomplish a lot by staying in Liaodong."

Tang Guifei's eyes widened, but she didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor gave people too much power, she was cautious in her words and deeds, afraid of offending the emperor because of a small matter.

Furthermore, she also heard from Tan Yunxian that the emperor's body is about to recover.

Now there are only her and Tan Yunxian in the harem.

The first to give birth to an heir must be one of them, so she has to seize this opportunity.

Let the emperor mess around.

Maybe it's her chance to enter the middle palace.

"The concubine knows that your Majesty is doing it for the benefit of my father." Concubine Tang felt it was strange that the topic of discussion at this time was actually her own father.

"You need someone to help you in the palace."

"Mother's family is not good, and they can't stand in the palace."

Zhu Qiyu became more and more arrogant, gestured with the palm of his hand: "Your brother is too young, he won't be able to come out to do things for a while."

Tang Xing has only one heir, who is only four years old this year.

Originally Tang Guifei had an older brother who died young at the age of seven, her biological mother followed him after his death, and Tang Xing became a widower.

Tang Xing's concubine gave birth to two more sons for him, but unfortunately they did not live past the age of five.

This youngest son is a child of old age, and I don't know if this child will survive.

"Your Majesty misses your concubine's family, and your concubine is grateful." Tang Guifei avoided, but Zhu Qiyu followed him like a shadow and couldn't get rid of it.

She could only endure it, and a soft moan came out of her mouth.

"Tan Shi said, I can extend my heirs."

"Naturally, we have to plan for you. When we have a child, he will also count on foreigners."

"Look at the brothers Sun Jizong, they are loyal to King Mobei."

"When King Mobei seized the door, they helped a lot."

Zhu Qiyu turned over and lay flat: "I also hope to have such a relative."

"Your Majesty's wish will come true, and it will come true!" Concubine Tang Gui and the emperor looked directly at each other, with a bit of embarrassment on their pretty faces.

Zhu Qiyu put one hand behind his head, pillowed his arm, and looked at her with a smile: "Nowadays, the daughters of all the officials in the world enter the palace, and naturally there is no shortage of good looks."

"It's just that I'm past the age when I only look at colors."

"If it were a few years ago, I would naturally pick the best colors and bring them all into the harem."

"Now, I prefer women who are both talented and beautiful, and have both ability and virtue."

"The most important thing is to be able to contribute to me and to the previous dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu looked at her: "Just like a noble concubine, she is my virtuous wife... It's hot today, let's relieve it."

Tang Guifei's pretty face changed, and she said angrily, "Your Majesty!"

"Get down to business!" Zhu Qiyu helped her.

Concubine Tang Guifei felt strange, and faltered and said: "Your Majesty's body is not yet fully healthy, please be restrained."

"Naturally, I have survived for several months, not bad for these few days."

Zhu Qiyu's smile remained unchanged: "I hope that Tang Xing can become a talent and can protect you from wind and rain."

"My concubine, thank you for your majesty's concern." Tang Guifei endured.

Several times she wanted to push the emperor's hand away.

However, she was reluctant.

She had pushed him away a few times before, and if she pushed him again, I'm afraid she would not be destined for the next position.

She pays close attention to the situation of the previous court all the time.

Knowing that the emperor can't wait to need a son.

And the first woman who gave birth to a son will become Zhu Qiyu's queen.

The emperor is a very disciplined person, and he will never allow the seizure of the heirloom to happen under his nose, as it will restrain his energy to open up to the outside world.

The emperor's heart is in the world, not in his family.

Therefore, he will stop it as soon as possible, the eldest son is his heir, and will not be allowed to change, and will teach with his heart, so that the eldest son will inherit his ambition.

"Well, good, good."

Zhu Qiyu enjoyed this very much.

Concubine Tang Gui replied: "Your Majesty, please let my father practice more at the border."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes sparkled, Tan Shi really didn't lie to me, my body has really recovered!

However, I have to endure it, it's just right, and I need to adjust it again.

"Bao Jianfeng came out of sharpening, let him sharpen it... don't move." Zhu Qiyu changed hands.

"Your Majesty..." Tang Guifei frowned.

"Speak business,"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "My concubine, I'm thinking about one thing..."

Concubine Tang Gui was listening carefully,

"Kneel down, don't do this, I can't stand it." Zhu Qiyu said.

"Oh,"

Concubine Tang Gui didn't know why he couldn't bear it, so she adjusted honestly: "What is Your Majesty thinking?"

"I'll look at it for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to think about anything, you also...!" Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and closed his eyes.

What are these tiger and wolf words?

Concubine Tang Gui blushed.

"Changde will come to bother you recently?" Zhu Qiyu turned his head away, distracted by speaking.

"The princess comes to the palace as a guest every day." Tang Guifei endured.

"near-point."

Zhu Qiyu didn't look at it: "Changde's personality is more irritable, after all, he has no heart."

"You don't have to care about her feelings all the time when you speak, just show her face from time to time."

"Let her know who is in charge in this harem."

"How dare a concubine?" Tang Guifei was really afraid of this sister-in-law.

"Don't be afraid, Changde was raised by the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Although she is an older sister, both the King of Mobei and Zhen will dote on her and treat her like a younger sister."

At this time, there is no meaning to discussing my own sister.

"Your Majesty let her go. How dare a concubine who is a sister-in-law do anything wrong?"

Tang Guifei's tone was full of dissatisfaction: "The concubine just bear with it."

She is the veritable master of the harem.

Even though the empress dowager was on board, she only met each other every morning and evening.

She seldom goes to Renshou Palace, and Empress Dowager Sun doesn't make it difficult for her. The two of them hate each other, out of sight and out of mind, and they are good to both of them.

But Changde didn't have this idea.

She puts on the airs of a princess and stirs up trouble in the palace, even Zhu Qiyu has a headache when she hears it, so there is nothing she can do about it.

"It's hard to embarrass my concubine,"

Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, his blood almost flowed backward: "You kneel down, don't move!"

"The concubine has already knelt down." Concubine Tang Gui couldn't understand.

"That's it."

"Is there anything to see?" Tang Guifei didn't understand.

What do you know, woman!
Forget it, don't look at it!
"I'm choosing a son-in-law for her."

"When it's settled, send her out of the palace."

"I'll save you from worrying about her."

Zhu Qiyu changed places: "Actually, I see her upset too. My sister, I don't think of myself as an outsider at all."

"I can't do anything with her. Last time I provoked her, she hated me in her heart."

"You can't let her out of the palace either. Those kings are holding back evil in their hearts. They can use my sister to harm me. They can do it."

"My sister, you are so stupid..."

"No, Your Majesty..." Tang Guifei did not allow it.

"It's okay, I don't despise you."

Zhu Qiyu said: "When she gets married, I will make her the eldest princess."

"Although she is not close to me, she is a real sister after all."

"I only have one sister like this."

"It's okay for me to let her go. If you feel a little bit angry with her, you can bear it for now, and you can find me to vent your emotions afterwards."

"I will ask the empress dowager to persuade her."

Zhu Qiyu comforted her.

In Changde, he was the one who grasped the Empress Dowager Sun's line, and he always held back. He treated her better in small matters, and taught her slowly in major matters.

"The concubine can bear it, and the concubine also knows that the princess is His Majesty's sister, so the concubine should bear it." Tang Guifei is very sensible.

Zhu Qiyu nodded lightly: "The empress dowager, you have to go to pay her respects every day. After all, the conflict has eased. It looks like you have to do it."

"The concubine knows,"

"Kneel down!" Zhu Qiyu was furious, you woman, want to ruin my morality?
"The concubine obeys the order,"

Tang Guifei was very wronged.

However, seeing something from the corner of the eye, she immediately blushed, "The concubine knows."

"Humph!"

Zhu Qiyu snorted angrily: "Recently, you have frequently ordered to see the wives outside the palace, do you have a suitable candidate for the son-in-law?"

"The concubine dare not choose for the princess."

Concubine Tang said aggrievedly: "The concubine is not the queen, but a concubine's room. The princess is indeed the first emperor's daughter, very delicate."

"The concubine is afraid of her. If she gets involved, let alone whether a good thing will happen or not, she will definitely complain."

"She doesn't dare to blame others, she blames the concubine, but the concubine has nothing to do with her, she can only be angry with herself."

"The concubine is unwilling!"

It can be heard that Concubine Tang Gui is very angry.

I'm afraid it's really inappropriate for Changde to be in the palace.

What's more, rumors spread outside, saying that the emperor imprisoned his sister, which was not kind or kind.

But spring is just around the corner...

Wait, Chunwei!
"The imperial concubine..."

Excited, Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, and his blood surged immediately: "Can't you just kneel down? I... I'm about to be tortured to death by you!"

"The concubine is guilty!" Concubine Tang Gui wanted to cry, obviously you wanted to see it, and you don't blame others.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, talk about business."

Zhu Qiyu surrounded her: "It just so happens that Chunwei, I have chosen a husband-in-law for Changde from among the scholars, what do you think?"

Can we not mention her when we are together?

The concubine hates her to death!
"The concubine dare not speak up!" she said angrily.

"Can the son-in-law be used by me?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized that something was wrong, and pushed Tang Guifei away with a flustered expression: "I'm tired, please wait for me to sleep on my pillow."

"Pfft!" Concubine Tang Gui couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that the emperor, who had always been upright, was still in such an embarrassment?
I'm so happy to die!
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and serve your husband's pillow!" Zhu Qiyu was furious and embarrassed.

I didn't feel it before.

Now it feels too strong.

I can't help it.

No, no, recite Buddhist scriptures silently, get rid of distracting thoughts, the dragon's body is the most important, and the dragon's body is the most important, so that you can live in the back, and you must restrain yourself.

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes.

Tang Guifei was overjoyed. It turned out that the serious emperor also had such an unbearable side.

He is also human!

so fun!

Is my charm so great?He still likes me as much as before.

"What are you laughing at? Go to sleep!"

Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes and stared at her: "Put on the clothes, it's not shameful at all!"

This is all a good thing you did!

Blame me?

Concubine Tang Guifei flew away with joy, got into the quilt angrily, snorted, and turned her head away.

"Stay away from me." Zhu Qiyu felt that the Buddhist scriptures were no longer useful, so he read "Book", hoping that Confucius would save him.

Tang Guifei responded.

There can be one person between two people.

"Stay farther away from me." Zhu Qiyu still couldn't calm down, and changed to "The Book of Songs".

But poetry is full of love stories.

This thing can't hear it.

Read "Li" instead.

Listening to the emperor's mumbled rituals, Concubine Tang Gui trembled with laughter.

"Stay away from me!" Zhu Qiyu glared at her.

"Your Majesty, the concubine would have fallen to the ground any further away." Tang Guifei suppressed her smile and retorted angrily.

"Then I'll change the bed!"

Zhu Qiyu couldn't take it anymore, it was different from before, she was weak before, but now her body is really healed.

There must be meditation.

Finally fell asleep!
In the morning, concubine Tang Guifei waited for her to change clothes, and she went out of the palace to start exercising.

Concubine Tang Gui looked at the vigorous emperor, her eyes sparkled brightly. The former emperor's body was limp, and he was exhausted even after walking a few steps.

The current emperor, holding two stone locks, can do twenty strokes, and he is still panting evenly.

He made a very strange posture again, with his hands on the ground and heaved up and down.

Practiced for half an hour.

Only then did Zhu Qiyu stop, let the eunuch wash up, rested for half a cup of tea, and began to eat.

The whole process is read by the eunuch.

It used to be read by Huai En, but now that Huai En is not here, it is read by Qin Cheng.

"My concubine eats more. It may not be delicious, but it is nutritious and good for the body." Zhu Qiyu asked the eunuch to wait for the change of the dragon robe.

"The courtiers and concubines are not greedy for food and drink."

Women in the palace cannot be greedy.

If you eat too much, if you fart accidentally when you are with the emperor, it will easily make the emperor disgusted.

Moreover, it depends on the emperor's preference. The emperor likes plump ones, so he naturally wants to eat more.

But Zhu Qiyu is very harsh, he likes to look at skinny ones and touch skinny ones.

Concubine Tang Gui didn't dare to gain or lose weight in order to satisfy her appetite, it would affect her perception, so she was extremely strict with food.

Zhu Qiyu walked out of the main hall, the sky was gloomy, and there was no clear meaning: "Let's go for a stroll."

The mighty procession followed the emperor.

Enter Fengtian Temple.

"Excuse me, gentlemen." Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair.

The ministers stood up slowly.

It's not a big court meeting, but all the cabinet ministers and important figures from various important departments came.

"The Tatar mission came to Beijing, and Honglu Temple was in charge of receiving it."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xiao Weizhen: "Try to find out their real purpose, and hold a banquet tomorrow, and I will entertain them."

"I obey the order!" Xiao Weizhen kowtowed.

"Can Sun Yuanzhen send a message?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Wei.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Sun Shangshu has arrived in Datong."

"It's figured out."

"This cavalry is indeed from the Timur Khanate."

"The number is 12 fine riders, one person and three horses, plus about [-] herdsmen and their families, a total of [-] people."

"According to the discussion with our court envoy, Sun Shangshu suspects that the destination of this cavalry is the Tatar territory."

"That is to say, they did not go to Oara, but to Tatar."

"Sun Shangshu is making arrangements."

"They are tired and exhausted, and they cannot escape from the palm of Sun Shangshu."

Hu Yi said eloquently.

Zhu Qiyu showed a smile on his face: "One man and three horses are the best of the elite. Even if we can recruit 1 people, our strength will be greatly improved."

"Your Majesty may be thinking optimistically."

Hu Wei smiled wryly: "Sun Shangshu tried it out, these cavalry are mostly badass, unable to fight, the reason why one man has three horses is to escape to Mobei smoothly."

"It seems that the Timur Khanate has indeed declined."

Zhu Qiyu wanted to laugh instead: "The strength is too strong, but it is not easy to subdue."

"With this cavalry, we have a clear understanding of the Timur Khanate, and then a new understanding of the Samarkand area."

"Within ten years, Ming's cavalry will reach Samarkand!"

Zhu Qiyu smiled all over his face: "Everyone has something to do."

"Qizou Your Majesty, there is continuous heavy rain in Sichuan, and the water levels of Fujiang River, Jialing River, and Yangtze River are skyrocketing, which may lead to disaster at any time."

Wang Fu plays.

"How's the crop?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"According to the report of the chief envoy of Sichuan, the situation in Sichuan is not optimistic." Wang Fu submitted the memorial.

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Sichuan is the land of abundance, and it supplies food for the southwest."

"He Wenyuan!"

"I ordered you to be the governor of Sichuan, and sit in Sichuan for me!"

He Wenyuan didn't expect that the pie fell on his head.

The emperor sent important officials to sit in the Liqing area. It used to be a bad thing, but now it is a good thing for promotion.

Those sent out to be governors are all important officials in the court and people trusted by the emperor.

"Give He Wenyuan a cabinet minister and a young teacher."

"He Wenyuan."

"Plow up Sichuan for me!"

When Zhu Qiyu took down the kings of Sichuan, he happened to use the wealth of the kings to clear Sichuan.

Clean out corrupt officials, money and food income center.

Let Sichuan completely become the power in his hands.

"The old minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations!" He Wenyuan's long-awaited entry into the cabinet was realized in this way.

However, when he returns from Sichuan, he will be able to officially join the cabinet.

After Wang Hong entered the cabinet, the cabinet was full of seven ministers.

But to the extent that the emperor can make a fuss, I don't know how many people will be sent away. Many officials will be sent to other places after staying in the center for a period of time, and will form a custom in the future.

This is the emperor's way of employing people. Those who he wants to use will be put under his nose to watch for a while, take a test, and then release them.

"He Wenyuan, you are getting old, you should pay attention to your health, and I will allow you to join the cabinet when you come back from Sichuan."

Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly: "Sichuan is a rich province, you go to Sichuan and do three things for me."

"One, clean up the corrupt officials in Sichuan, plow down the officialdom!"

"Second, rebuild the guard and build the Sichuan Army for me, with a fixed quota of four battalions and 6 people."

"Third, Wusi, Duogan, Yunnan, and Guizhou are all adjacent to Sichuan. Sichuan is the most important province in the southwest of Ming Dynasty. You must Sinicize the local people."

"A lot of Han people moved to Usseng and Duogan to adapt to the climate of Dogan and Usseng."

"Set up pacification departments in Hongyuan (Mangerzhe pacification department), Malkang (Maerza pacification department), Baoxing, Kangding, and Beishanguan, and stationed troops for training."

In the past, Duogan and Usin were just entanglements.

The center has never been in charge.

But Zhu Qiyu wants to bring the military power of Duogan and Wu Sichen to the center. Once there is a change in Duogan and Wu Sichen, the five pacification divisions can enter the army at any time to suppress the rebellion.

But He Wenyuan knew, no wonder the emperor sent him to Sichuan.

Sichuan's military power is heavier than other provinces.

After all, he is the emperor's confidant.

The emperor trusted him.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, are the troops stationed here counted in the Sichuan Army?" He Wenyuan asked.

The officials scolded him for being too greedy.

Sichuan is peaceful, but there are four regiment battalions with 6 people.

These 6 people are used to stabilize the Southwest.

Want to go to Yunnan and Guizhou to suppress the rebellion at any time.

But He Wenyuan still wants military power.

Zhu Qiyu deliberated: "Not counting, the five pacification divisions, with a total of 1 people, were renamed Xikang Army."

"All soldiers must be familiar with the climate of Wusi."

"You can go to the snow mountain to quell the rebellion at any time."

"He Wenyuan, although you are only the governor of Sichuan, you are also the commander of Duogandusi and Wusichengdusi. How about this, He Wenyuan will be the governor of the three provinces instead."

He Wenyuan did not expect that the emperor gave him so much power.

Although Dogandus and Usbidus have nothing to offer.

But it is an official after all.

"Old minister, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" He Wenyuan kowtowed.

"When you go to Sichuan, you must pay attention to the sinicization of the natives, build a great road, dig up those steep mountains, and use the road to gather the world in your hands!"

"You have to remember, where Chi Dao has cultivated, Daming's rule can only reach!"

"When Chidao arrives, the natives can be forced to sinicize."

"They can use the famous mountains and great rivers as a cover, let's dig through the famous mountains and great rivers, and let them become a turtle in a urn!"

"He Wenyuan."

"I'll give you three years. It's easy to clean up Sichuan, but it's hard to take care of local talents in Sichuan, Duogan, and Usseng."

"He Wenyuan, you are 73 this year."

"But I hope that I can still see you in the court hall. I allow you to join the cabinet, and I also allow you to join the six departments. You can choose wherever you want!"

"If you die in office, I will give you Shaobao."

"If you don't let me down, I will never let you down!"

He Wenyuan was so excited that he kowtowed and was overwhelmed.

As long as he comes back alive, he will survive.

"Sichuan has a lot to do with it. Let Gu Youzhi go in the palace. He is my servant and he can help you, He Wenyuan."

Zhu Qiyu kicked Gu Youzhi away.

Because he was dissatisfied, when Gu Youzhi spoke to him, he had scruples in his heart.

This is punishing him and giving him a chance.

Let him know that he is an eunuch and his heart will always be on the emperor.

He Wenyuan's expression of surprise was slightly stiff, and he knew that the emperor would not put the military power of 7 people in his hands.

Sichuan has nearly double the military power compared to other provinces.

It is an important place to hijack the Southwest.

The emperor will definitely send his henchmen to sit in charge.

"My minister obeys the order!" He Wenyuan did not dare to say no.

"Xiang Wenyao, I asked you to be the governor of Guizhou, do you dare to go?" Zhu Qiyu found Xiang Wenyao's shadow from among the courtiers.

Xiang Wenyao was taken aback, he was not qualified to be a governor.

Guizhou, which the emperor chose, is not a good place either.

However, he knew the emperor's ambitions, if he could make a career in Guizhou, he would also be able to rise to the top and become an important minister in the cabinet.

"I am willing to go to Guizhou!" Xiang Wenyao got out of the class, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"You are also capable."

"Guizhou is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den."

"Sichuan has He Wenyuan, and Yunnan has Wang Wen, which is enough to help you shake the Guizhou chieftain."

"When you go to Guizhou, first rectify the Guizhou guards and build the Guizhou army. I will allow you three battalions with 5000 people."

"Guizhou is all in the mountains. You must overhaul the post roads, not only to connect all the cities, but also to dig and dig through all the mountains."

"Let the mountain no longer be a barrier for the natives, and force the natives out of the mountains."

"It's convenient for you to Sinicize the natives."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "I will also give you three years to completely Sinicize Guizhou and let the natives of Guizhou fight for me!"

"Can it be done?"

Xiang Wenyao knew clearly, what does the emperor want?
"This humble minister will live up to His Majesty's grace!" Xiang Wenyao also wanted to make some achievements.

People who can be valued by Yu Qian are definitely not followers of power, they are naturally capable.

Those who are capable want to be famous in history.

Zhu Qiyu just gave him the stage, so it depends on his own ability.

"it is good!"

"Three years later, you can choose whatever you want to be in the cabinet!"

"I agree!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "I am here, I wish you two a smooth journey and come back alive!"

"Your servants respectfully obey the holy order!" He Wenyuan and Xiang Wenyao kowtowed.

Southwest resettlement is complete.

There are Wang Wei and Kou Shen in the northwest. When Kou Shen finishes rectifying Gansu Town, let him supervise Shaanxi, and the rectification of Shaanxi will come naturally.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xiao Weizhen: "Xiao Weizhen, you've done a good job recently, I've noticed it."

"After receiving the mission, you go to supervise Fujian."

Xiao Weizhen was overjoyed.

The emperor finally stopped being suspicious of him, he was finally able to leave the center, and he finally lived without worry.

He choked up and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

"Don't be so busy thanking me, it's not easy to supervise Fujian."

"Piracy at sea is rampant, and Fujian is the hardest hit."

"Fujian is mountainous, the people are poor, and there are as many bandits as a cow's hair."

"You went to Fujian and did three things for me."

"First, build the Fujian Army, clean up the bandits, and arrest all the bandits."

"Secondly, build a shipyard in Fujian, build ships for me, train and prepare the Japanese army, temper water warfare, and clean up pirates in the coastal waters when necessary."

"Thirdly, I want to reset the Penghu Inspection Department and change it to Penghu Prefecture. Dongfan Island will be changed to Baozhou and belong to Penghu Prefecture. When the offshore pirates are cleaned up, the captured bandits will be sent to Baozhou. , develop Baozhou."

"Fujian is mountainous, so it is not suitable for growing food, so go to Baozhou to grow it."

"When necessary, I will order the whole country to prepare the Japanese army, and strike hard to clean up the pirates in the coastal waters."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "When you go to Fujian, just do these three things."

"It's done, you have made great contributions to the community, and I allow you to join the cabinet!"

Xiao Weizhen kowtowed to thank him.

He doesn't even want to join the cabinet, he just wants to stay in Fujian and never come back.

He hasn't considered the candidate for Guangdong yet.

"Masters, who do you think is suitable to govern Guangdong?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

The courtiers were silent.

"This humble official recommends himself!" Lu Yuan couldn't bear the temptation of joining the cabinet, so he wanted to go to Guangdong to have a try.

The reason why the emperor hesitated was because Guangdong was different from other places.

In Guangdong, there are natives making rebellions, Japanese pirates are rampant outside, and the Shibosi is a difficult place to manage. In short, Guangdong is the province with the most constraints.

"Lu Qing, I can see your ability."

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "I originally wanted to be the Minister of Dali Temple, and let you take care of one department alone, paving the way for you to enter the cabinet."

He attaches great importance to Lu Yuan.

He is a steady man, he doesn't show himself, and he doesn't fight for success, but he does things well and has rules. He is a very good executor.

However, in this place of Guangdong, an unruly person is needed to control the power.

He is more optimistic about Wang Yue.

But Lu Yuan stepped forward.

"Weichen wants to go to other places and realize his dreams."

Lu Yuan kowtowed and said: "The humble minister is in the center and is protected by His Majesty."

"After all, I can't become an eagle, and I can't contribute to His Majesty's great cause."

"So, my minister, please go to the place, plow the land for His Majesty, and restore the world to the world!"

He was eloquent and impassioned.

Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "But Guangdong is different. We have to fight wars, coordinate with the Shibo Department, deal with barbarians, and be on guard against Japanese pirates at all times. This..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

"However, the humble minister looks dull, but he is actually sophisticated."

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Although Guangdong is chaotic, it is full of opportunities. I will follow the trend. Please make it happen."

Lu Yuan kowtowed seriously.

It was the first time Zhu Qiyu saw Lu Yuan like this.

"Lu Yuan, what you said is interesting."

"You're supposed to be an interesting person, why bother making yourself unhappy?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Smile more, you like to write books and talk, I will allow you to run more newspapers, and the articles you write in your spare time will be sent to my case, and I will also read them."

These words made Lu Yuan choke up.

It seems that the emperor doesn't know anything, but in fact, he knows everyone's character like the palm of his hand.

Lu Yuan attaches great importance to filial piety, he is extremely filial to his mother, and he likes to write.

Although there is suspicion of buying people's hearts, it also shows that the emperor cares about every courtier.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your attention!" Lu Yuan kowtowed, trying not to shed tears.

"Lu Yuan, you and Ni Qian were valued by me back then."

Zhu Qiyu asked him: "But I value you more, do you know why?"

"I don't know."

"Because you don't fight or grab, and do things properly."

Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "On the other hand, Ni Qian is obviously very talented, and he has a photographic memory."

"But it doesn't need to be in the business, he is good at making money."

"That's why I'm going to sharpen him and use him again."

"Doing things properly is your advantage, and you must continue to maintain it."

"But when you come to Guangdong, you must not only do things properly, but also be good at making clever plans. It doesn't matter if you do things out of the ordinary."

"Facing the natives and Japanese pirates, fight when you need to, kill when you need to, and don't be soft-hearted."

"Don't report everything to the center, make decisions immediately, don't be pretentious, and you will know that the opportunity to fight is fleeting."

"Lu Yuan, I will hand over Guangdong to you."

Lu Yuan was overjoyed.

Keep kowtowing.

He wanted to go somewhere to show off his talents.

He stayed in the center, always just a deputy, never let people see his talent, and would only die mediocrely in the end.

But it's different when he goes to a place, he can show it to his heart's content.

He wants to go down in history!

"I will tell the eunuch Liu Yu, the admiral of Shibo, and he will cooperate with you."

"Lu Yuan, there are three things you need to do when you go to Guangdong."

"First, build ships, build more ships, and cooperate with Liu Yu to build ships and train sailors. The Guangdong Army is mainly composed of sailors. I will give you three battalions with a total of 5000 people to establish the Guangdong Army."

"Once we fight on land, we can ask the Guangxi Army to help, and I will ask Fang Ying."

"Secondly, cooperate with the Shipbuilding Department to clean up the pirates in the coastal waters and arrest smugglers. Once discovered, they will be killed immediately and their family will be exiled to Qiongzhou!"

"The third is to sinicize the local natives, with a big stick and wealth in one hand, to appease the natives."

"I will also give you three years, I want to see a leading shipbuilding Guangdong!"

"I want to see a Guangdong full of Han people!"

"I want to see a Guangdong without pirates!"

"I want to see a prosperous Guangdong!"

"Lu Yuan, can you do it?"

Zhu Qiyu said generously.

"My minister is willing to issue a military order with His Majesty. Guangdong is neither rich nor strong. Please cut off the head of my minister!" Lu Yuan kowtowed!
"it is good!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face: "Let Ni Qian enter the household department and be the right servant first."

When Ni Qian heard the news, he would definitely be able to jump three feet high.

Lu Yuan left, but instead gave him a chance to jump up.

He dispatched four governors in one go.

Now it's just that Nanzhili and Zhejiang have not sent people.

The Jiangnan gentry's roots are too great, and he can't move for the time being.

Waiting for the Jiangnan literati to enter Beijing is the opportunity to do it.

To move Jiangnan, one must know how to be patient and look for opportunities.

"Ministry of Rites, spring is coming soon, you have to be prepared."

Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "This year's exam questions, as I said before, are written by me personally, and all the ministers will check for me."

"Don't hide it from me, I'm already pretty close."

"But I don't know what to do, I don't know how to do it?"

"After the imperial court, the important ministers of the cabinet, as well as the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy all went to Qianqing Palace to look at my test questions and give me their opinions."

After the test questions are finished, they still need to be printed.

It takes time.

So be prepared in advance.

"May I ask Your Majesty, do generals at all levels occupy the Jinshi quota?" Bai Gui asked suddenly.

Because the students heard that the generals in the imperial clan took part in the imperial examination, there was a lot of discussion, thinking that the generals would squeeze their places in the examination, some of them were excited and scolded the emperor for being stupid.

"Naturally not accounted for, those who passed the imperial examination will be listed separately."

Bai Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

But I don't know that the emperor is trying to cover up for the clan.

As for the group of trash from the clan, if they really compete with other students, it is estimated that none of them will pass the exam.

The problem is that the courtiers did not expect that there are many well-known generals in the clan. These people are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Zhu Qiyu also thought so before.

In the end, it was all fake!
It's all just fishing for fame.

After the court, the important officials entered the Qianqing Palace to read the test papers.

Hu Wei was the first to watch it, and after watching it, his expression was very exciting.

The policy theory turned out to be: What do you think of moving to the Kong family?What do you think of the kings who moved to Beijing?What do you think of the literati who moved to Beijing?
Are you serious?

After the important minister finished watching, his expression became very exciting.

You can directly screen Jinshi and forget it.

Those who passed the exam this year must all be sycophants.

It is impossible for any great talent to emerge.

Have you ever harmed Chun Wei like this?

Bai Gui was a little angry. He was about to kneel down to resist, but he met the emperor's meaningful eyes and had to shut his mouth.

"Dissatisfied?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Do you think the imperial examinations are too important?"

This is troubling.

That is the imperial examination, the examination for selecting talents for the country, how can it not be heavy?
The scholar Han Chuang has studied hard for ten years, just for this imperial examination, you actually said it is not serious?

"Your Majesty, please take this back!" Bai Gui knelt on the ground, and all the important officials knelt on the ground.

"Listen to me."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I ask you, did you use the things in the sage books when you governed the country?"

"To put it another way, if you haven't read the books of sages, can you not govern the country?"

"Of course not..." Bai Gui blurted out, regretting it in an instant.

Did Taizu read the books of sages?

Can the country be governed well?

"Bai Qing, you are deceiving yourself."

"The imperial examination is nothing more than giving scholars a chance to stand out, a chance to cross classes."

"Opportunity, after all, is just an opportunity."

"A glimmer of hope."

"It's just a hope that scholars will not rebel."

"Ask yourself, which family came from poor people?"

"no!"

"The gentry will always be the gentry, no matter how they decline, they are still the gentry."

"It will always be such a small group of people who rule the world, and nothing has changed with the change of dynasties."

"It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. This is an eternal truth."

"You can't change it, and I can't change it. Even after thousands of years, no matter how the world changes, this will never change."

"The so-called imperial examinations are just a glimmer of hope for the poor and the common people."

"Just a glimmer of hope for them to comfort themselves!"

"So, what is the test, is the content really important?"

Zhu Qiyu said what he shouldn't have said.

But this is the truth.

It is not that the imperial examination is useless, but that it is useless for the common people to participate.

Because I won't pass the exam!
Back then, Wang Wen was impeached by the censor in order to run a juren for his stupid son, and finally the emperor saved him.

The results of it?
Wang Lun is still juren, what about the one who was pushed down?

Who will remember him?
Look at the people who passed the imperial examination, check their ancestors, and you will know that there is no ordinary person.

And these Jinshi, are they really educated and rich?
impossible.

Some of them can't even memorize the scriptures, so why don't they be slaughtered for officials?

So, is there a relationship between studying and being an official?

No relationship.

Only related to birth.

"My lords, the imperial examination is nothing but a lie."

Zhu Qiyu looked at them with a smile: "You are not deceived by lies, are you?"

All the ministers were shocked!
How did the emperor know?
This lie was made up for the emperor to read!

But only the emperor is sober in the world, what's going on?Confused?
